MAYA RELICS.
Some Interesting Discoveries Made IN Cenr
trail America and Mexico.

BOm0 interesting Discoveries MauS IN OoE
trail America and Mexico.
Prof. Desire Charnay, whose ex-
plorations and discoveries among the
antiquities of Central America and
Mexico have made him famous, has but
recently returned from another visit OF
exploration TO Yucatan. Speaking of
his work there, he said:
after leaving Izamal went on a
Journey of exploration, and on the
north of Valadolid, in the oriental part
of the peninsula, | discovered new
ruined city, previously entirely I'M
known and never before visited by any
body. 1t was called the City of Elk
Balam, which means the City of the
Black Tiger. This city gives us an il
lustration of the last epoch of civlliza-
ton among the Indians, which was not
known at all and which we were ig-
noring entirely, an epoch of civilization
always the same as the preceding
ones-which must have lasted from the
wear 1880, or about that, to the time OF
the arrival of the SpaniardS, 1925 to
1897. This city also gives us the proof
that all the lost cities that were seen
by the Spaniards were exactly the Same
as the cities of the interior, which
are still existing, only they were
not built so strongly. They be.
longed to the epoch of decadence. and
it was easy to recognize and explain.
The country was divided at this timo
into many small provinces, often so
small as to be composed simply of the
city occupied by chief-or cacique-
These petty caciques did not have the
means to build such splendid and dur
able edifces as were in Uxmal, Kabah
and Chichen. They could only initiate
and mcasurably reproduce them in
moaner proportions and in cheaper
material That was very evident.
There was here no more of those large
projecting stone cornices. Those here
were small The friezes here were not
decorated by carving, but only painted
white merely a dead fiat white, in
stead of the beautiful bas reliefs in the
richer cities. And instead of sculp-
tured stone lintels such as are found
in many cities, there was here only
wood, not in large pieces, and often
rough as il came out of the forest. So,
the existence of an epoch of decadence
is very evident, and the disappearance
of those cities, though more modern
than the ancient ones l have named. ID
quito natural, because they were not SC
solidly built.
II have also found there the first
Maya cemetery that was ever dis
covered by explorers. From my exca'
yations there l have taken, and have
already sent home to France, many
curious and most interesting things
that 90 far to sustain my theory as tC
the newness of the civilization there.
The most ancient cities probably date
from the Eleventh or Twelfth century
and the last ones were still being
builded at Che time of the arrival O.
the Spaniards. Among the things
found in that cemetery were pottery
axes and utensils of copper and bronze
and other objects of use and adorn
ment in stone. There were also beau
lifully made toys, representing small
animals, that were doubtless put intt
the graves of children. IN. Y Sun.

The Eighth D,sirlck
, the Editor of the Dispatch :

To the Editor of the Dispatch
1t is to be hoped that the Convention
to assemble at Culpeper Courthouse
the 23d instant will adopt the majority
rule. Nothing can be more inconso'
nant with the elective system of our
Government than the two-thirds rule.
In the actual election between two can
didates--it may be politically IS far
apart as the poles--a majority Of one
vote decides the issue. And yet here
among members Of the same party,
assembled for the purpose OF selecting
candidate, two-thirds majority has
been thus far insisted on-that is to
cay, . large number Of representative
men, sent by the voters Of their dis
trict for specific purpose, adopt
in the outset rule which do
fests that purpose-which puts 1t
in the power Of o small minority to
thwart the will Of large majority and
the sole object of the Convention; for,
| il the leading candidate is within one
vote Of the two-thirds majority, ani is
yet unable to secure that vote, no
nomination can be made. Minorities,
stirred by the contest, become factious,
. deadlock ensues, and its preservation
becomes matter Of temper and parti-
san pride. Unable to succeed them.

blood Is engsndered, discord and dis
sension ensue whore unity should pre-
vail, nothing ia accomplished, and

imagined. Suppose another deadlock
results on the 23d instant, what then ?

correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
FORK UNION, FLUvANNA COUNTY, |
September 6, 1886.
Yesterday about Il o'clock, whilst en-
route to Bethel church, horse attached
to buggy in which was seated Mr..
William G. Strange and wife took
fright at the sudden emergence of q
colored boy from the underground on
the roadside, and upset the vehicle,
throwing the occupants violently to
the ground. The fall produced
q fracture Of one bone of the wrist Of
Mrs. Strange, whose face and head is
also somewhat lscerated and bruised.
Mr.. Strange was also quite painfully
bruised on the head and face, but was
otherwise unhurt. The horse, having
reversed his course, ran down the hill,
making a considerable wreck of the
buggy. Fortunately for the sufferers
the accident happened within few hum
dred yards of the residence Of DR.. G..
Ii. Snead, who promptly rendered tne
necessary surgical aid.
A few hours later the Doctor, who is
at the same time a minister OF the Cos
pei, administered the rite Of baptism to
ten candidates, as q result Of pro-
tracted meeting held in the Fork church
during the past week.
The condition Of Mr.. Boiling Gay,
whose serious illness from typhoid
fever has given the entire community
much anxious concern for more than q
month is now SO much improved as to
inspire hopes of his recovery.
Mr.. John F. Shepherd and daughter,
of Columbia, who have also been criti-
cally i'll with the fever, are now consid-
cred out of danger and in fair way to
restoration.
The congressional campaign has not
yet fairly begun in this county, though
our committees are taking steps initia-
tory to an active canvass. The candi-
dacy of Captain Bumgardner gives en-
tire satisfaction, and is therefore likely
10 poll the full Democratic vote.
DR.. Claude Elsom, of Richmond, who
has been for some time sojourning in
this county, has returned home.

II was evidently On oversight on the
part Of the Richmond DispatcA in NOT
publishing our comments on the Leo
Moses correspondence relating 70 con-
yics labor simultaneously with that cor
respondsnce. II would have been just
and proper 70 show that the Indcx.Ap.
pearls statements we're not unfounded,
Is alleged by Governor Leo, but that
they we're substantially corroborsted
by Mr.. Moses's letter, as any careful
reader will observe. II was not mate
rial whether the convicts were paid for
or not. The protest we made was
against the use OF that class Of labor
on farms in competition with honest
free labor, and on that point Mr..
Moses Is not definite. He simply
says that he has heard Of no in
stance in which the convicts were
paid for as lsborers on farms.
We might have made . much stronger
case than we did with the information
at hand, but having accomplished our
purpose in causing an investigation to
be made, we were quite content to let
the matter alone, until recurrence OF
the offence made IL necessary to pub
licly call official attention to it again.
At the same time we think it only fair
that our contradiction OF Governor
Lees allegation that our " statements
we're unfounded" should accompany
the publication Of his letter, though We
repeat that we do not think the Dis
patch was Intentionally unjust to u.s.
Petersburg Inder-lppeal.
Our Petersburg contemporary does
us simple justice, and we trust that our
reproduction of the above will do that
paper no less. We would not inten-
tionally do injustice to anybody.

Ex.Goy eTnor kmith's Eighty.ninth
birthday.

Ex-Governor Amith's Eighty-ninth
birthday.
A Warrenton (Va.) special to the
Baltimore Sun Of September 9th says :
To-day is the eighty-ninth anniversary
of the birthday Of Ex-Governor Will
liam Smith, who as yet gives no de-
cided evidence Of mental or physical
decay. He daily walks from his home
to town--a mile coming and going
with kind greeting for all be meets.
His conversation is full of engaging in-
cidents Of the past. From almost early
youth be has been prominent figure
in American politics. Twice he was
Governor Of Virginia. At sixty
five he entered the Confederate
army and rose to q brigadier-
generalship, and was badly wounded in
engagements where his command
achieved great distinction. He resides
at . delightful home, near Warrenton,
with his only daughter. His son, Colo
mel Thomas Smith, United States dis
trict attorney for Mexico, has just
spent several weeks with his honored
father, leaving last week for Santa 70.
Governor Smith attributes his attaining
to his remarkable age TO . wise tenn
psrancs In everything and the avoidance
OF taking trouble on discount. He al
ways looked on tho bright side Of life,
and enjoyed il accordingly.
