SECRETARY FAIRcH1LD says "the demo
cratic way is the best. If We have conVic
tons, let US be true to them at all times A
party is never great, never in the end sue
cessful, if it does not prefer defeat to aban
donment or concealment of its faith" If all
the democrats in public positions would
only act in accordance with the above truly
wise and democratic expression of the Sec
retsry of the Treasury, the democratic par
ty would have come to stay sure enough
Among the strongest ofdemocratic convict
ions is the wise one that democratic princi.
pies and democratic policies can be best exc
cuted by democratic officials, and
among the cardinal principles of de-
mocracy is the just one. that reye
nue. should not be in excess OF 10
gitimate expenditures. and should be raised
from Injuries, and not from the necessarie;

of water running through three of his fields

seq, holstein and ayrshires. Among which
are several very fine cows, six farm horses,
one colt and fine grade PercheroD stallion;

Next we come TO his corn cribs they are
under one roof, with drive way between
which ia used for shelter for his farm wag-
ous. Then comes the carriage and tool
house, with granery above. We find that,
like most other farmers, his farm tools have
been all housed for the winter. When 60
ing over his farm we found his wheat look
Ing well. But about one half of his last sea-
sons wheat field has not set we'll to grass,
and he is talking of plowing up that portion
of the field and planting it in corn next
spring. We would advise him to try part,
if not all, with crop of COW peas, with a
dressing of lime either when he puts the
peas iu or just after turning them under.
We also think it would pay we'll TO under
drain this piece of land.
T. w. Blount from the critical committee,
suggested that q lot of new land recently
cut over, and now being covered with an
Improbable growth, would pay better to be
chopped down in July, burned over in Au
gust, then seeded with clover the next
spring and made sheep range the follow
ing year. He Thinks if "Grover" succeeds
in regulating the tariff on wool sheep hus
bandry will be the best hold.
The Secretary read communications from
the chairman of the executive committee OF
misunderstanding and from the secretary
of that body, asking that delegates be cent
to the meeting in Richmond on the 10th OF
January. The Secretary was directed to
acknowledge the receipt of the same, and il
any member of the club can attend the
meeting of the assembly credentials are to
! be furnished him.
The next meeting will be held at the
! home of the Secretary on the 2Stb Of Janu-
! arg. By an oversight of the chairman no
critical committee was appointed, and the
Secretary is not anxious to be criticized any
way. w. GIILINGHAM, Secretary.

IT Is now stated that Baltimore Trust
Company will be made the depository of the
Virginia bonds, so that the bond may ac-
company the coupon rendered for taxes, as
required by the coupon crusher." The
creditors of tho State are evidently intent
upon enforcing their just demands. But for
all this, the Virginia legislature still persists
in saying the debt question is settled, and
that there is no nesd for listening to any
more propositions from the bondholders.

A REPUBLICAN examining board having
ezonereted Odell, the light house keeper at
Cape Henry, from charges of offensive partl'
sanism brought against him by some of the
most respectable democrats in his district,
the Treasury Department endorses the act
ion of that board, and gives it out that the
charges referred to are partisan, and that
the whole democratic party of Virginia
gives its courtenance to such charges. The
republican party having filled all the offices
with republicans, who work for the SUCCESS
of their party. the democrats, or niDety-nlne
bundredths of them. think it wise, and
therefore right and proper, that as their
party has reganed possession of the govern
ment, members of it should fill the offices, II
it would retain that possession. If that be
giving countenance to partisan charges the
Virginia democrats are guilty, and the most
of it will have to he made.

MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY
SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER, in his paper
he Shenandoah Herald says;

The Shenandoah Herald says:
"The time is near at hand when we Will explain
10 the public how this endorsement the paper
presented by certain Virginia republicans to the
national republican committee at the recent meet
ing of that committee in Washington endor-
sing General Mahone) was Matched IN
hidden headquarters at Washington where
men signed paper under false representations
and without reading it. Two of tho republican
members of Congress who did read it in iuii re-
fused t, sign it. In little while the methods
employed will be laid bare"
The Senator also says:
"Lst the republicans see to it that the APP
proaching State convention to appoint delegates
to national convention and choose presidential
electors is not handicapped like the convention OF
1884, when delegates as condition precedent to
appointment we're required to take kind Of oath
of allegiance to one man."
This looks as if the breach between Sena-
tor Riadleberger and General Malone were
as wide as ever, and could not possibly be
healed in time for the next national repuoli'
can convention.
