September 5, 1886.
To the Editor Oft Dispatch:
To-day the Democrats Of this county
held a monster ratification meeting, rati-
flying the nomination OF Major Samuel
Griffin, Of Bedford county, as the Dem
ocratic candidate for our representative
in Congress. Although Charlotte had
candidate Of her own in the Conven-
ton, and she had every reason for sup
posing that he would receive the nomi-
nation, it was evident from the enthusi-
asm displayed to-day that she bears no
ill-will because he was not the choice Of
the Convention.
The meeting held to-day was most
enthusiastic one. Speeches were made
by the most prominent men in the
county endorsing the nomination and
pledgiDg their support. The party was
thoroughly recognized. Hon. NJ. Nj.
Martin was elected county chairman,
and Robert Catlett, secretary. Mr..
Martin was chairman Of the Democracy
of this county when it was first re-
deemed from the horde of Republicans
who so long controlled it, and there can
be no doubt but that under his able
management the county will poll large
majority for Major Griffin in November.

A Mistake Corrected.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Sept. It'll.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In the Dispatch Of Sunday morning,
September 5th, in an article signed III.
M. j." under the heading q" Southern
Hebrew School," the following oc ours
"The vice-president of the Southern
Hebrew School is DR.. w. w. Moore, a
professor of Hampden-Sydney College,
whose scholastic abilities commanded
the admiration and whose gentle man.
ners attracted the affection Of all who
came under his instruction. 1t ought
to be known that Hsmpden-Sydney has
in its faculty one Of the best Hebraists
in this country"
DR.. Moore is not a professor in Hamp-
den-Sydney College, but associate pro-
lessor, with the venerable DR.. b. NJ.
Smith, Of Oriental literature in Union
Theological Seminary, the neighboring
institution. The commentator is all
deserved. The mistake is 10 locatin z
DR.. Moore's professorship.
In the same issue also this occurred /:
"Mr. w. Howard Parkinson, of
Petersburg, adjunct professor Of
modern languages at the University of
Virgins, has cabled from Paris his de-
clination Of the chair of Greek at
Hsmpden-Sidney recently rendered
him."
This also is undoubtedly q mistake,
else some Of us here are behind the
times, not having heard the above name
mentioned in connection with the said
chair Of Greek, which Mr.. Willis Boz
cock has been selected to fill, aud which,
1t is thought, he will abundautly ill.

ORKNEY SPRINGS,
September 4, 1886.
Orkney still holds 4 goodly number
Of visitors-fugitives from the heat
and malaria Of other sections of the
country are reluctant to ex-
change the comforts and beauties Of
this charming mountain home for the
inconvenience of city life. All the
guests will bear with them the memory
Of an exceptionally healthful and
pleasant summer, aud they are loud
in their praises Of the springs
and its genial and able proprietor.
But though the majority ofvisitors have
returned to thsir respective homes, the
quietude of this lovely Valley Of the
Shenandoah is being broken by the ex-
element of the impending political
campaign. The State debt has for the
time being taken back seat, but the
candidacy of General Roller, Of Rock
ingham, as an opponent Of the gallant
0'Ferrall introduces troublesome fac
tor into the problem. Though running
on the so-called Independent ticket, il
is generally conceded that he is Re-
publican in disguise. He is q man Of
great personal popularity, fair ability,
good address, and has large BARREL"
which is now "on tap"
The Republicans will probably refuse
to nominate a man should Roller con-
tiuue his candidacy, and in the event of
bis election there will be division of
the spoils, the Republicans receiving
one half the county offices. The &C
complshed hand of Malone is mauipu-
la,iDg the little game; but Colonel
Cabell Maddux, who is the John Kelly
OF Shenandoah county, is working day
and night, seeking to counterfeit in
every possible way the Vaccinations
and malign influence of Virginia's
arch enemy and his fellow.conspira-
tors. The good results of his efforts
will be seen at the election. Fitz Lee
carried this county by 100 majority,
but O'Ferrall will rln ahead by at least
200 votes.
1t will be remembered by the readers
Of the Dispatch that Colonel Maddux
beat Riddleberger for the presidency of
the Shenandoah Agricultural Society.
This Society holds its first annual fair
at Woodstock, commencing October
5th. The farmers in this favored spot
of Virginia are busy with preparations
for it, and are determined to make it a
grand success. The premium list is
full and complete, embracing every ar
ticle OF household and mechanical manu-
facture, as we'll as agricultural products
and implements, live stock and poultry.
There will be four spirited races each
day on the best half.mile track in
the State. Upwards Of $4,000 in
premiums will be distributed, in addi-
ton to the $500 given by Colonel Mad
dux as q consolation purse " to the
defeated racers. Reduced rates are
promised on all the railroads. A first
class exhibition is guaranteed, and the
managers will provide in every way for
the entertainment and comfort Of both
exhibitors and visitors.
The weather we are now enjoying is
bracing and beautiful beyond all praise,
and if vote of thanks to the Bureau
of Health would insure it's continuance

The evidence thus far points to the fire

extremely doubtful if anything more

A strong northeast storm has been

Opinion seems to be gaining ground
that another Republican convention
will not be called 10 this district, and
that the party cannot afford to endorse
the split by bringing out candidate to
oppose Senator Gaines. The future Of
the party organization would be too
greatly endangered by such course.
II may be that an independent candi-
cate may announce himself and that he
will receive the support Of the dissatis-
