Beware!

II the people Of Henry county are wise,
they win learn from the experience OF
other counties that have had the names oil
their county-seats changed, that "ali the
kings horses and all the kings men = can
not succeed In drawing town out OF the
rut Of its original name, and that there VIII
never come time after the name oil
couuty-seat IL changed when anybody can
feel certain that letter addressed to that
place win not be sent TO Washington. Ask
the people Of Charleston wv. Va.) whether
the name OF their post-office Is Charleston OF
Kauawha Courthouse. Ask the people oil
Charlotte or Prince Edward as TO the name
OF their county-seat. Nay, ask the people
Of Appomattox whether there is in that
county such post-oflice as Walkers
Church. Nobody except the postmaster
knows. There Is "coniusion worse con-
founded y in the public mind in each oil
these localities in regard to the name OF q
particular post-oflice.
What is the trouble? Nothing, we
know, except red tape. II you address
a letter TO Martinsville after the name
of the post-oflicc has been changed
to Henry City, the letter will be sent TO
Washington city. We cannot tell you the
reason, but we know that such is the fact.
The postmaster at Danville, or Richmond
or elsewhere, may know perfectly well that
the letter ought to be sent to Henry City,
and that its early delivery may involve inn
por,aut business interests or even social
happiness; but that makes no difference.
Red Tape says that the letter must be sent
to Washington, and to Washington 1t goes.
Pray. Mr.. MONEY. have this evil cor
rected. Pray abolish the rule of red tape
In the Posi-0iIice Department. Pray ac-
cord to the people OF every city, town, and
village the privilege OF changing the name
of their city, town, or village, without run
ming the risk Of having all letters intended
for them forwarded TO Washington.

To the Editor of the Dispatch

~ Nte EUHOT W UtC DtoputOt
As this tariff agitation has been forced
upon us. how can victory to the Demo-
cratic party be assured, notwithstanding
and in the face OF this forced condition Of
this question: How, except by the selec-
ton OF some one as our standard-bearer
who Is identified prominently and emphat-
lcally with opposition to tariff agitation,
and with an aggressive warfare for the prin-
ciples OF Democratic faith alone enume-
rated. SamuelJ. Randall, ofPennsylvania.
is that man. Mr.. Randall stands squarely
and firmly upon the Ohio and Virginia
platforms. He is opposed to a useless and
impractical fight on the tariff issue, with
the Democratic party apparently Champion
ing the free trade side OF that issue, by
which an almost assured victory will be
thrown away and defeat courted. He
is not, as has been charged, in favor OF
q high protective tariff, but is and has al
WAYS been in favor OF retrenchment and
reform in the collection and disbursement
of taxation. He thinks that the question
OF the tariff at this time should not be agi-
tated, but shall be made subordinate to the
settlement of graver and more sacred ques-
lions OF governmental administration. He
has been always the implacable foe OF mo-
nopolies, and his loyalty TO the Democratic
party has never been questioned whether
in the hour of its dark defeat or glorious
triumphs. He represented by proxy all
the South when we had no accredited rep
resentative in the halls OF Congress, and
for DAYS barred his breast to the storm Of
Radical venom and hate, manfully meeting
and crushing the force bill and other like
legislation by which 1t was sought to de-
grade our people and to place us as suppl
cants for political power and privilege at
the feet of the Radical party. To Virginia,
IN her fights with the Mahone-Arthur CO.
alition, he has been always a loyal friend.
As our candidate. he can gather to his fol-
loving and bring TO his leadership the vast
non-partisan, non-political, Independent
vote OF the country, whose rallying-cry is,
"Let well enough Alone" Randall com.
bines aud embodies in his political person
elements OF availability as to all localities
that should commend him to the party
whose banner he has always periodically
and Loyalty both borne and followed.

Interesting Letter from the Virginia
Fish Commissioner.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February II, 1884.
A writer In the Eastern Vi,yinidn, OF
Accomac, in discussing the oyster inter-
ests, asserts '.tbat it Is the settled convlc-
ton OF nearly all intelligent men who have
given thought and study to the oyster in
terests that the State should permit her
own citizens to dredge In waters that are
too deep for the tongmen to operate in.''
1t further states that "this would not in
terfere with the tongmen. and 80 far from
destroying the growth OF oysters, Ii would,
by working up the beds In deep water,
greatly improve the annual product"
The Vif0inidR. i'm its comments upon
| this, states that "should the Legislature
refuse to permit dredging at all. the oyster.
beds In deep water would thereby be con-
demned to absolute sterility and ultimate
decay and destruction"
| This Is undoubtedly true; but the
drift OF the remarks indicates an en-
| tire misapprehension OF the object
OF the law passed two years age
prohibiting dredging in State waters
| II did not contemplate. nor do any of the
measures now pending before the Genera
Assembly contemplate, permanent prohi
bition Of dredging. The law now In force
was temporary expedient in the Interest
Of our tongsmen to protect them from the
competition Of foreign dredgers, and Il
protect the oyster-beds OF Pocomoke and
Tangier sounds from exhaustion until the
State should organize an efficient police
system, which would be able TO limit The
operations Of the dredgers TO the deer
water, reserying the shallow-water beds
for the tongmen.
Iagrce entirely with the Virgiaian thai
the dredging OF our cyster-beds, under
proper surveillance and restrictions, is es.
sentiai In order to maintain them in then
best conditions of production. Experience
in France has shown that the natural oys.
ter-bcds may be dredgcd three years in
I've, and under proper restrictions will
continue TO improve year by year Ia the
amount and quality Of their product.
Under the system OF police proposed 10
the message OF the Governor we will, In
addition. be able 10 secure from our deep
water oyster-beds considerable revenue
for the State. j. w. MCDONALD,

To the Editor of the Dispatch:


The proposition to enact pension law
in Virginia for her Ole soldiers is very just
and offers the only proper and effectual re-
lief for these most meritorious men.
Georgia and, believe, Mississippi have
under action similar law. All attempts
to alleviate the distress OF these men by
private charities have been but temporary
and unequal in their operation. In New
Orleans. while the wounds OF the war
were yet fresh and sore, the ladies OF the
South undertook to hold a grand bazaar
and otherwise raise fund for the relief OF
the disabled Confederates. The results
were very great, the responses were very
liberal. For a month the bazaar, which
was very grand affair, was thronged with
the elite OF The country.
The saloon-keepers, under the example
Of Mr.. Sautini, gave days receipts Of
their saloons. No check from them called
for less than S275 one was for over $500
the whole aggregated several thousand dol
lars
Then, the theatres each gave a benefit.
and from various other sources an amount
OF about $4,000 was received.
With this a large, comfortable hospital,
upon the old bayou st. John, was establish
ed and soon filed with helpless men, while
money was disbursed in occasional sums
10 such a. were not entirely disabled; but
as there was no source OF revenue five or
six years OF this charity consumed AL OF
its means. And now Louisiana is coDsid-
ering the renewal OF 1t under the State
laws and patronage.
These men have clear claim upon Vir-
ginia. They gave their utmost strength
and the happiness Of their lives for her
people. The Federal Government aids
only those who inflicted injury and wrong
upon them and our people. We are now
in condition to relieve their distress. The
relief has been deferred long enough. For
more than eighteen years they have SUI
iered. Their number lessons year by
year. Year by year the survivors need
help more and more. Humanity and de-
cent self-respect demand Of us this tardy
justice. DABSEy ii. MAuRy.

THE DYING CONFESSION OF THE REAL MUIR
DERER AFTER THIRTEEN YEARS.
A Williamsport PENN telegram says :
Lloyd Britton, colored man, was hanged
in the jail-yard Of this city, by Sheriff
John Piatt, on March p. 1871. BrittOn
was arrested and charged with the murder
OF Jacob Bay. Bay was supposed to have
been stabbed with sharp-edged tool,
thought to be a chisel, on the evening of
November 16, 1870.
The real murderer OF Jacob Bay, although
thirteen years have gone by. has been dis
covered, and the evidence is from the lips
of the murderer himself. A mulatto named
Thompson, who recently died in Canada,
while on his death-bed made the startling
confession that he himself inflicted the
wound that caused Jacob Bays death.
This confession was made in the presence
OF colored man now on visit to Williams
port. The cause for the deed, as stated by
Thompson, was jealousy.
