A CHANCE TO SELL LAND.

AS supplemental to an article which appeared
in last weeks VINDICATOR under the title
strangers to look at Valley LandS,' we would
state that we are ana have been for some time in
communication with Mr., NJ V. Richards, Inning
rant Agent OF the Baltimore 4 Ohio r R.. and all,
or nearly all parties prospecting through the Val
ley for lands will be sent by him to us. We are
having our circulars &C., distributed throughout
Ohio and Indiana in advance of the excursions ar
ranged by the B. 4 o. for the benefit of land pros
pectors and emigrants from those States,
We would also state that we are now in negotia-
tiOn with Mr.. Richards IN regard to the dis ribu-
ton of circulars and advertising matter through
out Michigan Minnesota, Wisconsin and iowa.,
and the arrangement of similar excursions from
those States to this Valley. and we have very little
doubt but that they will be arranged. We are very
much in hopes of having great many land pros
pectors through this county in the next few
months. Whilst we have m any farms on our books
fol- sale, still we would like to have a few more
bargains to offer, and any man wishing to sell,
who will put his land in our hands for sale at a
reasonable price, may rest assured that will ad-
vertise 1t, bring it to the notice of buyers and
show 1t to those intending to purchase. free of
cost to all parties. 1t is only when sale is made
that we charge any commission. and then very
reasonable one.
We of course, will do our best. 1t is to our in
terest to do but the quality of the land and the
price asked therefor the things to be looked at.
and are most mp0r tanG in trying to make sale.
We certainly cannot sell poor land to a sensible
man at fancy price.
If you want to sell. come and see us.

POLITICAL NO res.

A meeting of the Rockingham Repub
licans was held at Harrisonburg On court
day to organize "a county club loyal to
the Republican party of the State" Capt.
Warren S. LurtY, who has been active in
defending Gen. Malone from the assaults
of the Kickers since the new rebellion be-
gan, was elected President of it, though
the vote with his competitor was close
81 to IS. Il. Peyton Gray was elected
Secretary.
The friends of Gen. Malone seem in no
way backward to enter the lists in his be-
half. The State Republican Of Harrison
burg, has been Litter and unspairing in
its assaults on the Kickers in the Republi-
can party. Col. VIM. E. Craig of Staun-
ton, ex- Collector of Internal Revenue and
the County Chairman of the Republican
party of Augusta county, and who it is
we'll understood is one of Gen. Mahone's
most trusted lieutenants, writes the fol-
lowing letter to that paper:

conduct Of your paper. In reply am graft
fed to say that l am more than pleased at the
manly stand you are taking in behalf of our

hope you will use every exertion to extend

I shall do all in my power to assist you.
If every Republican in the county could
subscribe to it much good would be done for

Commission, which arbitrated the claim
of this country against Great Britain, for
damages done by the Confederate war
ships which were built in and sailed from
British ports. Fourteen years ago the
place of Chief Justice became vacant and
President Grant, after having unsuccess-
fully presented the names of Caleb Cushing
and of his own Attorney General, G. H.
Williams, to the Senate for confirmation,
selected Mr.. Waite. He was confirmed
and for fourteen years has filed the posi-
tion to the satisfaction, confidence, and
admiration of the whole country. He
was seventy-two years of age.
The eyes of the country are now turned
to the selection of his successor. Justice
Waite's circuit was Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, and North and South
Carolina. 1t was from 1900 to 1862 the
custom to appoint from the same circuit
which the retiring judge had filled, and
that was followed in the recent case of
Mr.. Lamar; but the precedent is not like
Iy to be followed now. Mr.. Lamar'5 ex-
perience showed plainly that the sectional
hostility of the Republican party, as repre-
sented in the Senate, would make the con-
tirmation of Southern man an extremely
uncertain matter. And it is now very likely
that President Cleveland, who generally
takes the side of common sense in such
matters, will select some lawyer from the
North whom he knows personally. The
South does not feel great deal of anxiety
about the appointment as it once did, as
the court, while yet an almost solid Repub-
lican court, has settled the question of the
rights of the States conclusively. AS far
as Virginia Individually is interested, she
is little concerned as to who it is. SO it is
judge that respects the Constitution of
the country and recognizes the Eleventh
Amendment to that Constitution. She
has many noted lawyers of her own she
could offer for the place-Robertson
Staples, Tucker, Mclaughlin. Burkes, and
Others, but she can easily see the good
policy of the President in not selecting a
Southern man, and will Willingly give up
all her claim arising from her being in the
vacant circuit.
