COUNTY OFFICERS ELECTED-AN OLD LAND
MARX GOYE-ACCIDENT TO TWO YOUNG
LADIES, &C.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
JUNE 10. 1888.
The Board Of Supervisors OF Augusta
county. at It's regular meeting on Saturday
last, having four candidates before them
for the position of superintendent OF the
poor, by majority vote selected Mr..
James 4. Beard, who was recommended
to the County Court for appointment. Mr..
John G.. Slower, who has for years filled
the Office OF county surveyor, was unani-
mously reelected to that position. The
sum OF Sl,100.SS was appropriated to the
public roads OF the county.
During 4 violent storm Sunday afternoon
the famous Willow-Spout tree" near
Fort Defiance, on the Staunton and VIM
chester pike, six miles from Staunton, was
twisted of. This was an old landmark
familiar to the soldiers OF both armies. who
marched and counter-marched along that
line during the "ate unpleasantness, and
they will hear with regret that the old tree
is gone. The large frame house Ivy the
roadside was, it will be recollected. burned
a few months ago. and there Is nothing left
OF the well-remembered surroundings but
the spout OF clear, cold water which con-
tinues to pour from the broken stump about
five feet from the ground.
Two young ladies of this place had a
very narrow escape Saturday while driving
near the National cemetery. Miss Belle
Bledsoe, daughter OF II. A. Bledsoe, cashier
OF the National Valley Bank, and Miss Kate
Baker, daughter OF Rev. William +. Baker,
the young ladies referred to, getting the
reins o! the horse they were driving entan-
gled, were backed over an embankment,
the buggy upsetting on them and the horse
being thrown backward. Miss Baker had
her head considerably cut and bruised, and
Miss Bledsoe had finger OF her right hand
broken. N0X.

The Southwest has walked up to the real
issue. democrat, writing to the Dis
patch from Bristol, says that The people OF
that section .sbelieve mixed school boards,
il tolerated. will lead to mixed schools"
: They believe that Malone has arrayed the
negro in solid column against the white
race. and they are ready to meet the issue,
and in ono sharp and decisive battle deter
mine whether the white man or the negro
shall rule the State. II, believing all this,
the good people Of that section fail to dc
their whole duty to their race, then we
shall have crow TO pick with Brother
Ward, OF the Abingdon Virg,aidn, OF the
hugest possible MISUNDERSTANDING
Mail.
And that democrat is himself power
in the Southwest. lie is also one Of The
most untiring workers in The Common
wealth. We don't think he ever allows
day to pass over his head without putting
in good work somewhere or in some form
for his party.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June Is, 1888.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
As you gave very handsome notice
some time ago to our townsman the Hon.
Charles Scott, of Alabama, who was a cam
didate for the nomination to fill vacancy,
/ think it but fair that you should give a
notice OF another Richmond boy who was
nominated over Scott, the Hon. James
Taylor Jones. He was born IN Richmond,
a nephew OF the late Samuel Taylor, one OF
the most distinguished lawyers in our
State; also, a cousin Of the late w. +. Tay-
lor, Auditor Of the State. Jones was q
member OF the Forty-fifth Congress, and q
very fine fellow.
We LET our correspondent speak for him.
self. We do not know Mr.. Jones; but we
Judge from the character Of the man he
beat that he Is all that is said OF him.

The street railway is managed now with
so much more enterprise than II ever was
before that no one can find fault with it;
but we hope the day Is not far distant when
the company will find 1t practicable to run
its ears till IL or II O'Clock at night. II the
cars run on Main street till minnight this
would become lively thoroughfare at
night. We now have fine streets, and we
believe that before another year rolls round
we viii have street-cars that will do credit
TO first-elass city. Nothing helps city
more than flrst-class street-cars.-Stdte
A Main-strcet merchant said 10 US the

Who is the Man?

In recent interview, Mr.. Beck, OF Ken
,,cxy. sid that there was one man whom
The Pspublicans could next year nominate
and elect President Of the United States
nm, declined to give the name Of the man
There has been much curiosity manifested
10 learn who It Is that Mr.. BECK suppose'
10 have so much strength with the voters
Can we not guesss :.
Let us see. We may at once exclude al
mere civilians. These never have any
popularity that counts for anything IN
national election. The popularity oil HENRY
CLAY was confined TO men Of one party.
10 as to Mr.. CALHOUN, Mr.. WEBSTER, MI.
BLAINE, and all other persons in ciVi me-
The popularity which results IN Tue eiec-
ton OF It's subject TO be President oil The
United States must be something more than
that Of Mr.. CLAY and the other statesmen
named. II must be popularity that will
swell and grow as the campaign wakes hot,
and must affect voters OF both the great
pari5es which divide the country at the
time. No civilian, then, was in Mr.. BEcK's
mind.
Necessarily, therefore. Mr.. BECK referred
10 q military man-onc OF national reputa-
ton. Who was It? How many such arc
there IN the country General SHERIDAN,
General SHERMAN, and General GRANT, are
the only three we can think OF as having
been in the Kentucky statesman's mind.
dsr~,,fcc IifflQ PJIIf.
SHERIDAN as rather too little to Oil the bill.
But two are left-SHERMAS and GRANT.
Which OF these two is the one re-
ferrod 10 by Mr.. BEcKs We cannot
say positively. General GRANT Is an
uncommonly strong man in more senses
than one. His is name to coniure with.
lie is the ideal hero Of the North. 1t was
REQUIRED by their human nature that the
northern people should puck out one OF their
successful Generals as being entitled in
certain sense to all the glory Of the war be-
tween the States; and they picked out Gen.
eral GRANT. Their verdict has been rem
dered. Their award has been made. 1t is
10 stand forever. 1t cannot be reconsidered
nor reversed. "As the tree falleth, so it
Jieth.v GRANT, therefore, is, in our opinion,
the strongest man in The Republican party
in tho North.
Yet, il is not impossible that Mr.. BECK
regards General SHERMAN as the one man
whom The Republicans could elect Presi-
dent Of the United States. General SHER-
NAN has many elements Of popularity. His
march through Georgia; his fondness for
and aptne,s at making short speeches; his
popularity with the ladies, the soldiers and
officers Of The army, and even with the
southern people; his faithful attachment to
such old "RebeI" friends rs General
JOSEPH e. JOHNSTON, and their warm feel
ing for him; the fact that he has never been
President and could not be objected TO,
as General GRANT would surely be, as
dishonoriug the memory OF WASHINGTON
by running fora third term; all these and
other considerations would render General
SHERMAN formidable competitor for the
Office OF President OF the United States,
let the Democrats nominate whom they
might.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the dispatch;
We trust you will continue to keep IL
before the people that cameron, Farr,
and Blair" not only appointed negro
school trustees in Richmond, but so far az
we can learn seem 10 think they did a,good
and wise thing in so doing. II there is
anything that the people OF Virginia should
be united in opposing il is that negro trus-
tees shall not lord ii over white schools.
IL that don't turn the stomach Of
men whose mothers were white,
then their desire TO be fed from
the crumbs which fall from their rich
masters table, must have destroyed every
feeling OF the head and OF the heart. While
we are comparatively poor man, and while
we have been willing TO pay taxes TO help
educate the children OF negroes, yet when
the issue is made that negro trustees are to
oyerseer white schools, please put us
down rs being for such change as
will stop so infamous an outrage. When
we remember that Cameron was the
first Governor OF Virginia who owed
hls election to negroes, we can't say that
we have been at all surprised at his action.
Let il go down in history that after all his
abuse of the negroes OF the State thcv made
him Governor, and may God in his great
mercy grant that he may be the last man
elected 10 such an Office by negro votes.
or course we thoroughly understand that
his master has long since satisfied him
that thrift will follow fawning."
Cameron may grow rich in money by the
favor of his boss, but unless all history is a
lie, both, we think, will stink in the estima-
ton OF the white people OF the State for all
time 10 come. Let them hug the negro to
their hearts, for II such people were TO drop
them both would be worse of for friends
than poor orphans. We predicted in the
first instance that what the Mahone leaders
were after were the tlesh-pots Of spoils. and
we have lived 10 see our prediction fulfilled.
With that set, II IL still true "that honor
won't buy breakfast" X.B.

Another Warning.

A Lynchburg correspondent writes us
that it would be well for us to call atten-
ton TO the fact that State or municipal
officer, to qualify, must take the anti-duel-
ling oath. In fact, all persons who were
in Office at the time the law went into effect
had to take that oath. 1t is now about the
time when county and city officers have to
qualify, and therefore our correspondent
has done them good service in calling
their attention 10 the anti-dueling oath.

TWO THINGS AT ONCE.

Among the many incidents Of Sir
Edwin Landseer. contained in re-
cent biography, is one about the ia
nous artists mastery of hand.
At large party il London, the
conversation turned on deXterity
and feats OF skill with the hand; a
lady remarked:
"Well, there is one thing no one
has ever done, and that is, draw two
pictures at the same moment"
"Oh, can do that, said Landseer,
''lend me two pencils and | will show
you"
The pencils were handed him, a
piece of paper laid on the table, and
Sir Edwin drew simultaneously and
without hes tation. with one hand
the profile of stays head, all its an
tiers complete. and with the other q
perfect profile of a horses head.
Both subjects were said to full oil
life and energy, and the drawing with
the eft hand fully equal to the one
made with the right.
