AS Gov Cameron did not make his ap-
pearance, there was no joint discussion. =
The Readjusters, however, nothing .daunt-
ed, had their old stand and the New Mar
ket Band, and shortly after the opening of
the play at the Bourbon stand. the band
struck up lively tune, which was the sig
nal for stampede from the Bourbon
ranks of many of the Readjusters. Robert
J. Walker, Esq, of Shenandoah, responded
to calls on him and addressed a large au-
dience for several hours in an able and stir.
ring speech. A telegram had been sent to
the Junior editor of the VIRGINIAN, when
it was found that Gov. Cameron would
not be present, and about half-past two
O'Clock he put in an appearance, and spoke
for about three-quarters of an hour. The
writer of this did not hear these speeches,
nor that of DR.. Webb, as he was DESTROYS
of listening to what Judge Christian and
Gen. Lee had to say. The Readjusters
were, however, well pleased, the speakers
holding their large audience until late in
the evening. til
After the conclusion of the speeches at
both of the regular stands, an improvised
platform was placed in the centre of the

The Democrats claim that they will
carry the county, while the Readjusters
say they will roll up the usual majority, if
they do not increase it.

the lawyers, as the white tieworn in the
equity courts, and the title of ''master,"
still preserved by the butchers and anal
ogous- to the 'smaitre, rof the French
tribunals, bring US back to the period
when all learning was in the hands of
the clerics. Indeed, the antiquity of the
gown may be tested by a legal fiction
that had been bound up in its trimmings.
The barrister had no right to his fee. He
could not bargain for it or sue forit. He
could scarcely even receive it. The rule
was very strict, though fiction was
found to relieve him from his hardships.
There hung behind his gown--and it
hangs there still--a crafty constructed
pouch with wide funnel and narrow
oriice. The funnel was wide enough
to admit suitor's hand, the ori6ce was
narrow enough to retain the suitor's
guineas. Modern usuage has dispensed
with the employment of the purse; but
the couusels clerk is interposed as a
kind of buffer to project the man of law
from. direct contact with his clients
money and in general way to secure
the proprieties of the profession. --PaA

Sleep.

1t is reported of Lord Brougham, that,
when he returned home after his brilliant
and exnausting defense of Queen Caro-
line, he went at once to bed, with orders
not to be disturbed, however long he
might sleep-orders which his household
obeyed, though with astonishment deep
ening into something like terror, as the
young lawyers nap prolonged itself for
nearly eight and-forty hours. His physi-
clan afterward declared that this sleep
had saved him from brain-fever, and
though probably only the marvelously
recuperative powers of youth enabled
him to take nature remedy in one such
mighty dose, his extraordinary capacity
of work mp to extreme old age may not
improbably have been due to a constitu-
ton endowed with such means for res
pairing at night.the waste of the day
