Judge Staples.

Welear that Judge STAPLES made
magnificent speech in the United States
Supreme Court last week--the most
effective, we suspect, that was made for
the State Of Virginia by any Of the
counsel engaged on her side in the vari-
GUS cases which that court heard last
week. Judge STAPLES was thoroughly
familiar with the whole matter, as well
as thoroughly equipped as a lawyer,
and. more than all else, spoke from the
heart as well as the head. His was no
perfunctory performance. And we are
more hopeful that the State will gain
the case he argued than that she will
gain the others.

THE EASTERN SHORE.

The Farmers Csavessisa : Sickness and
f1entb-Other Items.
Correspondents OF the Richmond Dispotchl
0HANcoCK, March 90.
There seems TO be but little interest
manifested among the farmers Of this
section in the approaching Industrial
Convention. II is hoped. however, that
steps will be taken at the Courthouse
Monday to send representatives from
Accomack who can acquaint the farm
ers from other sections Of the State Of
the condition Of agriculture here and Of
the crops and methods that prevail on
the Eastern Shore.
The damage done to planted and
bedded potatoes by the recent cold
weather, while very considerable, is not
so serious as was at first feared. How
ever, the full extent Of the damage can
not be ascertained for some time yet.
until it is settled whether potatoes can
terminate after having been frozen.
Where the planted Irish potatoes have
been destroyed farmers will either re-
plant or else put the land in peas and
otherearly vegetables. Indications point
TO speedy revolution here in crops and
modes of cultivation.
Pneumonia is prevailing to an alarm
ing extent all over the Peninsula, and
a number of deaths are reported, among
them that OF Mr.. George A. Holt, a
well-known farmer and prominent
official in our Agricultural Associa-
ton.
DIR. William r. Parramore, popular
and eminent physician, is lying danger
ously i'll with paralysis Of the throat at
his home in Drummondtown, and Mr..
George w. Powell, one Of the most sue
cessful merchants Of 0nancock, has re-
turned from Baltimore. whittier he went
to seek medical aid. His condition ex-
cites grave apprchensions among his
friends.
Some light has been thrown on the
question as to how long hen can live
without water or food by recent occur
renee near this town. An old lady
having missed her favorite hen gave her
up for lost till she was discovered firmly
wedged in between two logs in wood
pile where she had been for fourteen
days without anything to eat or drink.
When taken out the hen managed to
walk about, and is said TO have eaten
an enormous quantity Of corn.
The Cluverius-Madison tragedy ex-
cites a lively interest over here, where
the prisoner is known by number Of
our young men who were his fellow
students at Richmond College.
During the recent cold weather Mr..
Jefferson Mears, of this county, left the
Potomac river. in which he was dredg-
ing for oysters, to bring home one of
his hands named Major Topping, who
was quite i'll with pneumonia. The
vessel encountered such rough weather
in the passage that it had to anchor Off
Watts island, where the sick man died.
Captain John 5. Taylor had his boat
swamped in the Pocomoke river about
the same time, and managed to reach
the shore by jumping out and swimming
for the nearest land.
The weather is warm now, but old
people say that the recent spell was the
seyereSt ever experienced here in the
month of March. KALLIAs.

So says Mr.. HALsTEAD, who, it may
be assumed, is ashamed Of the outcry
he raised because of the respect paid to
the memory Of the late JACOB THoMP-

President himself. Our correspondent
exposes the weakness Of his cause
when he uses the following significant
Language. He says:
"IIe has not so conducted himself
in behalf OF his party as to commend
him TO The attention and farorobie con-
sideraiion Of said N. C."
The President has no voice in the
matter. The people at home are not to
be consulted. Nobody is to have Office
except those who have so acted as to
commend themselves to the favora-
bic consideration =" Of their supposed
servant but real master the honorable
N. c. We need add no comment.
Our correspondent says that the con-
gresham can be called to account once
in every two years. How BY
whom? Here is the seat Of the disease
we desire to cure. II is because he
can be . called to account by unscru-
pulous partisans that he is in danger of
allowing himself to be misled by the
same persons.
We sympathize with the feeling Of
our correspondent in regard to creating
a class to be pensioned because they
have held Office all their lives. We have
never seen our way clear to an advocacy
Of that sort ofcivil-seryice reform. But
if compelled to choose between that sort
Of civil service and civil service con-
trollcd by congressman, we shall elect
the former.

buyers in eastern Virginia who know
that in this southwestern county is one
