Differed from cellar TO garnet, and thus
made to pay tribute 10 Malone for partisan
purposes. He likewise depleted the enor-
mites OF the judiciary bill, the commits
sioner-of-sales bin, the bill for redistrict-
ing the State, and the bill giving to Came
ron, Farr, and Blair in Richmond the
naming OF school trustees for the various
counties Instead OF being chosen by the
parents OF the pupils TO be taught, as al
present-all OF which were only defeated
by the indignant remonstrance OF the
" Big Four" but which will be saddled
upon the people OF Virginia II Malone
succeeded in choosing the Legislature this
fall.
The debt question. which had first caused
the division in the Democratic party OF
Virginia, was settled. BY the decisions OF
the highest legal tribunals in the land,
both State and Federal, the Riddleberger
hin, which the Democracy had honestly
opposed. had been declared constitutional.
and the platform Of the Lynchburg Con-
venfion. which he fully endorsed. recog-
nized these decisions as final; so that the
whole subject was eliminated from poll
tics. and The people had nothing more to
do with it. Individual opinion rs to the
correctness OF these decisions was one
thing, but afull. free, frank. and final ac-
ceptance OF their binding eject was another !;
and this bone Of contention being re-
moved. there was no reason why every
Democrat in the State might not stand
shoulder to shoulder in the maintenance OF
Democratic principles.
In this imperfect summary OF Major
Turner'S speech, we have barely limited at
a few Of the leading arguments advanced.
Suffice Il 10 say that he made decidedly
favorable impression upon his audience.
His remarks throughout were free from
personalities and loose statements. He is
thoroughly posted upon all the issues in
yOlved in the pending campaign. and his
speech on Monday was calm, dignited
presentation OF them 10 his hearers, that
could but carry conviction to every un-
prcjudiced mind. He is a fluent and cfIec-
tive speaker. and his labors in this canvass
cannot fail Of their reward.
Glorious Day i'm Buckingham.
lFarmyillc JOurnalJ
Monday last was a glorious day for De-
mocracy in old Buckingham. Both Col
oncl Cabell and Captain Mckinney were
on Land to represent the Democrats. Mr..
]. {. Fowler was present to uphold COili-
tiOnism. \ joint discussion was arranged
between Colonel Cabcll and Mr.. Fowler, rs
our townsman Captain Mckinney gave
checrfully the post Of honor to Colonel Ca
bell, who. for the first time, visited the
county OF Buckingham, the home Of his
fathers" and grandly and glOriously did
he bear himself in the place assigned him.
Words fail to describe the effect OF his
speech en- friend and foe alike. \ vast
crowd stood in a driving wind, and drank
in his every word and appauded him to
the echo time and time again. Fowler
alone seemed uncomfortable, and we did
not blame him for looking sick. lie just
couldn't help it. Cabcll came, and saw, and
vanquishcd him. lie tossed him in the air,
he rolled him in the dirt, he stood him on
his feet. he ridiculed him. he "mashcd "
him with massive arguments, he punctured
him with the finest points OF satire, he
" sat on" him, dug his political grave and
nut him in it, placed Il suitable headbOard
above him and wrote thereon striking
cpitaph. In the midst OF one OF his finest
flights Of burning eloquence, when the
soul Of this gallant Nirginian was all aglow
and anamc, an old darby was heard to cry
out, Take dat man away from here; there
amt no Readiuster can manage him y; and
the negro but voiced the sentiments OF the
crowd. for Cabell is too much for any one
or all combined OF those who oppose him.
As he did unto Conrad in Pulaski, so did
he unto Fowler in Buckingham-he just
" Cabellized and cauterized" him.
Fowlcr's speech was tame, dull, and
heavy, and he seemed very much relieved
when his time was up. Cabelfs reply,
though only fifteen minutes in length,
was an eternity OF torture TO Fowler. 1t
was grand day, with grand results for
the cause of Democracy. Farewell,
Fowler! Goodbye, Coalitioni'm, in Buck
ingham!
And then came Farmville's favorite-
Virginia's friend-the able, eloquent. ear
nest champion Of good governmental. W.
Mckinney. He was greeted warmly ana
enthusiastically by his old comrades and
friends. and leaving Fowler 20 recover as
best he could from the terrible castigation
administered by Cabell, commenced a calm,
able. and dignifed discussion OF the issues
Of the day, in clear and ringing voice, with
polisbed phrase and irresistible logic, and
was proceeding to give reason for 1.-THE
faith that was in him." when the enemy,
already tortured beyond the limits OF
endurance, cried "hold," that his time was
up-and we do not blame them for this
crv of distress, but we do much regret
that the people were not permitted to hear
Mckinney to his conclusion. Mr. +. W.
HUBBARD followed Captain Mckinney ana
concluded the speaking for the day; but
his speech produced no effect, coming as 1t
did after the mastery efforts Of Cabeli and
Mckinney.
The Democrats of buckingham are tho
roughly aroused, and the result OF last
MONDAYS work will tell heavily in Novcm-
Der.
