that he may soon be restored to health by
the good attention he is receiving from that

There is considerable "talk" among our
farmers just now in regard to partridge
shooting, as the law will soon permit the
sporting fraternity" to kill them. They
propose not to allow parties from distance
to hunt on their farms, and we think it is a
very wise conclusion, as lot of Staunton

shot among the stock, and / have heard

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

Commencing last Saturday and continuing
till to- morrow the candidates for the Legisla-
ture are meeting the people at several appoint
ments lu the North river district.
Charles E. Kemper, Esq, addressed the Fish
ersville Democratic Club last Saturday night.
He had fine audience and made an effective
speech.
The canvass in Augusta is not as lively as 1t
should be. The whole county would be the
better of good shaking-up. More enthusiasm,
more committee work, and a greater pride in
the majority to be given. are features of the
canvass which should be brought cut at once.
The Candidates for'ahe Legislature will con-
tinue their appointments throughout the coun-
~, and it is then for The committees ana active
democrats to see to the balance of the work,
and prepare to cast the democratic strength
without the loss OF a vote.

State Equality.

it il fighting for estate equality" These
arc its own words. 1t assumes that the
southern States are in the wrong, aud takes
it's position side by side with Sherman,
Halstead, and Foraker in threatening them
We call the attention of those Ohio malig-
nants, however, to the fact that this Vir-
ginia ally of theirs does not name Virginia
as one Of the States in which the wrongs
complained of are perpetrated upon the I'M
offending people of the North, but contents
itself with charging the same upon 'ssome
of the Southern States" He threatens the
South, however, in a style that would do
credit to Hoar, Dawes, Chandler, Sherman,
or any other enemy of the southern people
He pronounces the subject discussei an i'm
portant question relating to representation
in Congress and the electoral college, based
upon the census enumeration, and predicts
that it is soon to be the overshadowing is
sue of the country.
Well, let US suppose that such is to be
the case. though we have no fear that that
issue will ever again figure in a national
election, and let US then ask Mr.. Yost if he
is in favor Of reducing the representation of
Virginia or any other southern State in
Congress Will he prove traitor to his
section, his State, and his race? Ifso, does
he speak for the Malone party? Are they
ready to join in crusade against their
southern brethren, and aid the northern
malignants in shearing the South Of her
strength in Congress and in the electoral
college? Is Mr.. Wise one of the men who
are conspiring with the enemies of the
South and encouraging them in their un-
holy work? Would he be party to the
reduction of the number of members his
own section is entitled to in the House of
Representatives? These are important
questions. They are intended to test
whether the Republicans of Virginia are
for or against their own section and its
dearest rights and Unconstitutional
Dispatch.
