would seem to be base i,,gratitale on the

mention, in the handsomest manner his
humble attachments will admit, of a Sun
day School picnic, held at Oak Hill Chapel
to-day. Mr.. Daniel L. Snyder is Superin-
tendent, Mr.. = Shumate. assistant Super
intendent. These are helped in the good
work by a corps Of able teacheres.
The occasion was the closing Of the
School for this season. Parents and chill
dren, of which latter there are about forty.
came together to enjoy themselves, and
they did it.
The 'sValley Frontier and part of the
"Spring Hip Bands furnished refreshing
music for the occasion. just here I NAV
say that it is remarkable how rapidly these
musicians have progressed they play well.
After exercises in the Chapel, interpersed
with music, the whole assemblege was in
vited to the grove, where they found
awaiting them most sumptuous repast.
by the worthy ladies of the con-
gregation. To this most ample Justice was
done-not only by children and parents but
bandmen, visitors and all, seemed to enjoy
this part of the programme most heartily.

vailed. May they have ssmany happy

Ben. Butler, in recent speech in Bos-
ton, abiding to the tactics of his oppo-
nents, as he alleged, to buy votes with
barrels OF flour and tons of coal, and money,
advised all to take the gifts, and then vote
as pleased them. And when they had got
ten the coal, or -four, or money, to bless
God and thank him (Butler) for it. for
they never would have gotten it in any
other way than as bride to beat him for
Governor.
The same tactics are being resorted to
IN Virginia to defeat the Readiusters. We
hear OF cases where colored men have
Deen given money to vote for Democrats
OF to remain away from the polls. Let
them take the money and then vote as thew
please. Any party that will resort to brides
TO win an election ought to be sold, and
badly sold. And this will be the result of
all such attempts to debauch the ballot
box,

The Richmond correspondent Of the Pc
tersburg Mder Appeal, democratic organ,
refers to an important omission of Hon.
Holmes Conrad in his recent speech in
Richmond. The correspondent says
In speaking of Gen. Malone IS feeling to-
wards Richmond last night, Mr.. Conrad
did not say that Gen. Malone was the first
railroad president in Virginia who allowed
the issuance of a through bill of lading
from this city to the great southwest,
which is true, and it was done at the same
time that Petersburg was given the same
privilege. Will the time ever come when
politicians can afford to tell the truth ?
1t is well known that until the CONSOLE
dation scheme of 1867 was effected,
through the efforts of Gen. Malone and
under his management that no through bill
Of lading was ever known from Richmond
to the Southwest, and that to Gen. Mahone's
sagacity and efforts in behalf of Virginia
cities is due the present benefits derived
from through bills.

Messrs. Ech0ls and Opie are making
private appointments to speak throughout
the county and hope by this means to avoid
discussion and exposure of the weakness
Of their cause. Are they afraid to publish
their appointments ? Are they afraid to
let their party men hear both sides? 1t
looks very much like it. But if they won't
allow discussion suppose they answer
through the press or otherwise these ques-
tions:
If elected will you favor the abolition
of the present unjust and ubiquitous road
system?
Will you favor the abolition of the bird
law, which doesn't permit the farmers to
net the cartridges they raise, but allows
the city sports to kill them with guns
Will you require the banks to confine
themselves to the legal rate of interest ?
Will you favor law compelling the
railroads to fence in their line requiring
them to establish equitable charges for
freight traffic and the payment of a tax
on basis of not less than the present as
sessment
Will you favor change in the chancery
system to the end that the costs may be
lessened and settlements expedited :?
Will you favor a commissioner of sales
bill?
Will you favor the reduction of the num-
Der Of elections
Do you endorse the debt settlement I'M
der the Riddleberger bill +?
Do you endorse the abolition of the
poll-tax as a prerequisite to votings
Do you endorse The abolition of the whip
ping post law?
Do you endorse the reforms instituted
by the Readjusters in the reduction of the
expenses of government the reduction of
the rate of taxation the reduction of the
assessment on real and personal property !;
the increase on incomes; the increase on
railroads the increase on licenses, and the
other reforms instituted !?
Will you favor the passage of a law CIV
ing to each county and corporation the
right to determine by a majority of votes
whether OF not liquor shall be sold in such
county OF corporation
If elected will you undertake to undo
any Of the legislation which the Readjus-
ter party has put in force, or re-introduce
any of the measures which they abolished
and which we're of Democratic adoption :?
Let them answer these questions to the
people, if they wont allow the opposition
to meet them on the stump.
