were entirely covered by water on three several
occasions, whereby the crops were completely

The Eighth District.


Nomination by q Democratic Conven-
ton is in the Eighth district considered
equivalent to an election to Congress.
1t is for this reason, no doubt, that the
aspirants in that district show so I'M
compromising a spirit in their efforts
to get the nomination. If the Eighth
district were an exceedingly doubtful
one, very different condition OF
things would obtain between the gen.
tlemen who desire to go to Congress
from that district.
We announced yesterday that the
District Committee had called a new
Convention and at another place. It's
to be held at Culpeper Courthouse on
the 23d instant. We had rather ex-
pected that a primary election would
be decided upon. One thing would
seem to be certain, and this is that the
new Convention will be made to repre-
sent the wishes Of the Democrats
of the several counties composing
the district. 1t will be impossible
to keep the people in their public
meetings from voting for delegates who
are known to favor the man Of their
choice. If the public feel as much in
terest as we suppose they do in the
matter, the county meetings, or magis-
terial.district meetings, will be well
attended, and there will be decided
expression Of preference in almost every
instance.
And then what? There's the rub.
The gentlemen who attended the last
Convention as delegates are influential
in their several counties, and may many
Of them be sent to the new Convention,
or they may be able to secure the cleo
ton of new delegates preferring the
same aspirants. In this event, what
will be the result? We cannot foretell
it. Perhaps the majority rule will be
adopted, and nomination be thus as
sured after a few ballots.
The Democrats Of the Eighth district
must not allow their anxiety to secure
the nomination Of any particular man
TO lead them into the ranks Of the op.
position. To refuse to vote for the
nominee is equivalent to vote for his
opponent. To vote for the opposing
candidate is equivalent to two votes
against your party-one taken from
the Democratic nominee, and one
added to the Republican nomi-
nee. We mention these mere pos
sibilities only as warning, and not
that we fear that any good Democrat is
going to desert his party because his
iavorite proved not to be favorite of a
majority of the members of the nomlna'
ting convention. "Whoso keepeth his
mouth and his tongue keepeth his sou
from evil" Therefore, be as Jealous
as you choose for your fsyorite, bu
make no rash threats as to what yor
will do if ne should tail to receive the
nomination.

earthquakes have been situated on soft
ground.
"In 1855 the most disastrous earth
quake on record passed under Lisbon.
The lower part Of the city. built on
clay, was utterly destroyed. All OF
the buildings in the upper part, resting
on foundation Of basaltic rock aud
hard limestone, escaped entirely.
"In soft ground a violent earthquake
nearly always produces cracks, which
often close just after the passage OF the
wave. In many cases they are Left as
open chasms Of great size."
