Across the crumbling tablets stray.

The birds sll sling the sweet, old strain;
But something from the summer time

So many hands used to touch
Are folded over hearts OF clay
The noisy world reccdcs from me;

No hollow sound OF empty fame.

TRICKS OF THE BOURDONS.
Deceiving the People of the "Poor
Old Commonwealth" in Order
to Make Political Capital

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. 5.-The
board of sinking fund commits.
sioners refused recently TO COM
promise a case against the state
amounting to $4,000, which would
have saved the taxpayers nearly
100000, simply because they want
to have 1t to say before the people
this fall that they did not receive
any more coupons for 1SS4--'S5 than
did the Republican administration
of lSS2'S3. To suppose that the
people will be satisfied with such
loss, that the bourbons may show
their hands favorably C) before the
people, is, to say the least, giving
Virginians little credit for common
intelligence, and there can be little
doubt that their false economy will
hunt them in popular esteem.
The rampant bourbons, who have
almost sworn they would not use
coupons in payment of their taxes,
have gotten judgment against the
"poor old commonwealth " in thirty |
different cases in which they do |
pay in coupons. OF about 200 |
cases, involving nearly 100000, |

IHE CONVENTION AND NOMINEE.

The county convention which met
In the court house on Monday was
composed of rs delegates. The re-
suit of short and harmonious ses-
sion was the nomination of Henry
Ii. Haun for the House of Dele
gates. We have never seen a bet
ter feeling prevail among candi-
dates and their respective friends,
and all went home resolved to elect
the nominee.
Mr.. Haun is we'll known through
out our county. He has never been
politician in the general sense of
that term, but he has always been
active and pronounced in his opln-
ions on matters concerning the
welfare of his county aud state. He
has served in two county offices and
his settlements in both testify to an
integrity of character that makes
all TO know that he will discharge
a representative trust with un-
flinching fidelity. lie Is emphatic.
ally a man of the people-a farmer
of experience, and is acquainted
with the details of taxation from
the head of the poor man to the
soil of farmers. Taxation is the
vital question IN Virginia, and Mr..
Haun is Just the kind of man to
vote on it.
AS readjuster Mr.. Haun ranks
among the first, and from his con-
scientious view of the rights of the
people in the debt settlement, he
has stood as firm as Gibraltar. On
the school question; on the Ques-
ton of fewer elections on all the
main questions set out Ia the plat
form of the party that gave him a
unanimous nomination, particular.
Is that greater uniformity and more
equality in taxation, Mr.. Haun
very clearly expressed himself in
the court house in his speech of
acceptance. In the hands OF such
a man the public treasury will be
safe. He has always been ecOnOm-
ical, and no man dare challenge his
honesty. Such is the kind and
character of representative Shen.
andoah wants at this time. He is
independent of cliQues and rings.
lie is capable because he is honest.
The ticket is now Wise, Wood, Blair
aud Haun.

1t is understood that the much.

in this direction will be gratified.
Had Kelley displayed a less per.
severing willingness to embarrass
the State department he might
have been given something nice in
the way Of domestic preferment as
a balm for his wounds abroad. He
might have saved the department

A FRANK FORsWARNIKG.

A bourbon letter from Richmond,
Va, says:
"The Democrats are discussing
the plan Of organizing campaign
cavalry all over the state, whose
duty it shall be to ride everywhere
and stir up the voters. 1t is OK
pected that the Virginia duel will
be heard from frequently during
the canvass.
The country fully comprehends

campaign cavalry They mean
now just what they have meant in
the past. Their meaning in Vir.
giuia this year is precisely what it
has been in numerous campaigns in
South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana.
1t is brutal violence and bloody
murder-and the world will so IN.
derstand it.
This campaign cavalry is TO ride
everywhere and stir up the yoters.'
AS interpreted by experience this
means that it will ride at night to
the cabins Of the cOlored voters,
stir them up call them to the
door, fog them, and occasionally
vary the entertainment by shooting
or hanging one Of them.

Both parties in Virginia have
nominated their candidates, and
from this time on the contest will
be earnest. Mr.. Wise, the Repnb.

make his first speech next Monday
night, aud he proposes to go all
over the State before the election.
His Democratic opponent, General
Lee, is not much OF an orator, and
others will have to make the argu.

cordially. The judgment of the

that Wise has the best chance

they are worth reading to show
how great men may diaer. The

naturally, Of the Lees. We ven

proportion OF cavalry under COM

The bourbon says the Shenan-
doah delegation did not get their
choice in Wise. They got a good
second to Bowen and then got
such Romans of readjustment as
Wood and Blair.
But the bourbon delegation for
shenandoah got nothing. They
were for Walker for governor (as
their organ announced after their
county convention here) and they
got Lee. They hate Massey, and
they got him second. Then their
first choice, Walker, was put up
for third place, and though he was
fairly nominated by a good ma
jority, before the result was an-
bounced he was cheated out OF it.
The bosses appeared, and the
change was made to Ayers by a
