The First Congressional District Convention
met yesterday afternoon. II. W. Byington of
Sonoma was elected Chairman, and A. E. Hol-
den of Napa Secretary
A series of resolutions were presented and
adopted in which the National Republican plat
form was reafirmed also. demanding that no
reduction be made in the tariff on wines, wool,
hops raisins, and other domestic products, and
that the tariff of 1876 on wool be restored. The
resolutions conclude with emphatic censure of
the Representative from that district as follows:
1--WE earnestly disapprove of and condemn his
action in giving countenance to the Morrison
horizontal reduction bill and call for the retire
ment of Barcley Henley from the position which
he has so signally failed to fill"
Mr.. Estee named I. l.. Carothers of Mendocino
for Congress, and he was unanimously nomi-
mated.

Strong evidence of lively contest over the
nomination for Congress was then manifested
by several motions made concerning adjourn
ment. Some wanted to adjourn until after the
close of the State Convention; others wanted no
delay whatever, evidently believing delays were
dangerous for their favorites. After numerous
motions, points of order, amendments, etc; an
adjournment was taken until 2. n.
At the hour named the Convention reassem-
bled and the Committee upon Credentials made
its report which was accepted.
John i. Reddick, OF CalaveTaS, was named

Hon. J. Ran. Tucker.

On last Friday night, the Washington
correspondent of the Richmond State asked
Speaker Carlisle about the position of the
Virginia Democrats in Congress upon the
tobacco tax and fruit brandy resolution,
which passed in the caucus.
"Messrs. Tucker, Cabell and Wise voted
for it. Messrs. Garrison and Barbour were
not present"
Glow did Mr.. Randall vote %
against the tobacco and fruit brandy
resolution, as he had against the other.''
Chow did the tobacco resolution come to
be drawn up and otfsred?" was then ask
ed.
"Fruit brandy woul probably have been
relieved of most of it's tax by resolution,
but it was solely owing to Mr.. fuckers
efforts that the step Was taken to relieve
tobacco. No other member ever mentioned
the matter to myself or Mr.. Morrison, of
that am sure, until after the caucus. Mr..
Tucker was asked to see the other mem.
bers of the Virginia delegation and find
out whether the passage of such a resolu-
ton would induce them to support the Nor
rison bill. He reported favorably and the
resolution was offered with what result YOU
know. Mr. Tucker has been for it all the
time, and wanted TO make fruit brandy
free, but it was objected to this that NOM
inal tax would be necessary to prevent
fraud, by the substitution of grain spirits.
He had resolution freeing both tobacco
and fruit brandy, but objected to it, and
substituted the one oifered."
"Then you regard Mr. Tucker as the
father of the resolution by which the Dem
ocratio caucus was pledged to take off the
tobacco tax when the tariff Is lreduced?''
Certainly; that is fact, and no one can
contrnvert ii"
From another equally authentic source
the correspondent learned that the removal
Of iron ore from the free list was in conse-
quence of suggestion from MIR. Tucker to
Mr.. Morrison.

We have received from Mr.. VIM. Fra
zier "a historical narrative and review of
the Rock bridge Alum Springs case" 1t is
written with view, as he states, to repel
calumnies resting on his name, and placed
there by the present Court of Appeals.
This to Virginians was unnecessary. Jim
Frazier was great Mahoneite politician in
the Legislature that elected the present
Court. Soon after their election the vari-
GUS Mahoneite papers began to treat the
case as a political one. And in the face Of
overwhelming testimony, everything uni
form line of decision by able judges with
suspicious haste, the present Court decided
for "Jim" and at once gave him Judgment
for large amount. To acquit the Court
of a pre-electional pledge istO convict them
of a stupid ignorance, and it is a toss of the
penny in which of these aspects the Vir-
ginia judiciary appears in the more favora-
bic Light Winchester Times.

A CHAPTER OF HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS
During the last week the following shock
ing occurrences took place, we learn, in
the neighborhood of Free Union:
On DR.. Blbb's farm colored woman
caught fire at brush-pile, and was burned
to death.
A young man named Faber was acct
dentally shot and killed by a school mate.
They were leaving the school-house, and
one of them had loaded gun on his shout
der. Another one caught the gun by the
barrel and said to Sandiidge, "Let's see
your gum" In che act of taking the gun !,
it was discharged, the load entering young
Faber's side, from the effect of which he
died the day after.
She attempted to kill herself by taking
laudanum, but was relieved of the effect
by DR.. Bibb, when she remarked, ssYou
have prevented me this time, but l will
find way to kill myself and subsequent
ly went to a tobacco-house with a razor
concealed about her person, where she de-
liberately cut her throat and died the next
day from this cause.
And from Covesville comes the news
that on Tuesday night Miss Emma Rice,
was burned to death. She was attempting
to ktndle fire by pouring kerosene on it,
when the can exploded, enveloping her in
flames, and also little boy, son of her SIS
ter, Mrs. Carter. Miss Emma ran out of
doors, and Mrs. Carter, in her efforts to
put out the fire on her child, was badly
burned. Miss Rice was found in the yard
in dying condition, and expired in short
while. -Charlottesvile Chronicle,

A Remarkable Discovery.

MoFFETT's CREEK, March 9th, 1884.
A gentleman, residing near this place,
whilst out on his farm few days since, &C.
cidentally discovered cave, which he de
termined to explore on yesterday. With a
view to carrying out this determination,
having first provided himsef with the neces-
sary adjuncts, such as candles, matches,
Irvine, &c., he repaired to the spot, and
after securing one end of the Irvine to a
shrub, placing the ball in his pocket and
lighting candle, he proceeded to enter the
cave, the mouth of which he describes as
being very small, so small, indeed, as to
render Unnecessary to get on all tours, in
order to effect an entrance. After pro-
ceeding in this manner some ten or fifteen
feet, the aperture became enlarged to admit
of an erect position. Pursuing his explo-
rations, Mr. L. found several apartments,
adjacent to the main passage, on entering,
one of which he was surprised to find it
contained various culinary and other uten-
sils, showing conclusively that the cave had
once been inhabited. The walls of this
apartment were profusely decorated with
hieroglyphical figures carved in basso re-
lieuo. In remote corner, Mr.. L. discov-
cred what, on inspection, proved to be a
bronze vase, which, on further examina-
ton, was found to contain quantity of
silver coins of curious device, having on
the opposite side medallion head, sur
mounted with the letters L. o. o. L. F. 1.
R. P. A., and below, the date 1910. On the
reverse side is representation of the Fleur
de las encircled above with the French
words jour de poissons d'avril, and below
with the Latin, Minimum ne crede colosi.
These coins, apart from their intrinsic
value, which is apparently about that of
our half dollars, will prove rare souvenirs
to all interested in archaeological researches.
The vase, which is of antique workman
ship, probably Etruscan,) is deliberately
embellished with arabesque ornaments
This discovery gives color to the theory
that this continent was inhabited by or
known to a race other than the Indian,
(perhaps the ancient Gauls,) at period
long anterior to that of its discovery by
Columbus. The vase and coins are in the
possession of Mr.. L., who will doubtless
take pleasure in exhibiting them to any
whom either motives of curiosity or the
interests of science may prompt to their in
spection. GUILLAUME.

His withdrawal from the mercantile and

great success in his new vocation. The

to make his debut before Winchester audi
ence. A full and appreciative house would
be guaranteed him. He stands to-day the

The free trade and whiskey ring Demo
Gratis of the House of Representatives at
Washington, unseated Col. R. M. Mayo,
Republican member from the First Virgin
ia district. The effect of such a step will
be felt in the North, where people of both
parties have some respect for law, which
Bourbonism never had.-Richnaond Wing.
This would sound little strange in view
of the fact that the vote unseating Mayo
and seating Garrison was unanimous one,
had it appeared in any other paper than
the Wing. The fact is that all, free traders.
protectionists, democrats, republicans, and
even the non-de-script Johnny Wise, voted
to GUST Mayo from seat which he never
had any right to. By the statement of the
Whig all the classes above named are sfree

The intelligence we have from the South
west is that the Coalition is stronger and
more determined than ever, and will earn
estly support the nominees of the Chicago
National Republican Convention for Presi
dent and Vice President Valley Virgin
ian.
How reliable the intelligence the Virgin
ian has from the Southwest may be learned
from the following intelligence from Mont
gomery county in the Southwest.
A Christiansburg letter of the 25th says:
The Coalitionists attempted mass meet
ing here to day, but it was most dismal
failure Not the slightest interest was
manifested in it by many who have hereto
fore taken an active part in political meet
ings. They rung the courthouse bell again
and again, but the "brethren'' would not
respond. A pitiful handful was all they
could get.
AS it is in Montgomery so will it be found
to be in all those counties where Demo
cratic Readjusters did most abound when
the debt question was an issue. Democrats
are not necessarily Republicans because they
wished readjustment of the public debt,
and next November will find them voting
the Democratic ticket.
