The property Of tho Manchester Rail

As stated in the Dispatch Of Thurs
day, this system has been purchased by
a northern syndicate, who, 1t IS under

bridge and through Manchester to equip
it in good style, and to operate 1t 10y

agreed upon more than a week ago, but
for prudential reasons it was not de-
sired to give publicity to the transaction,
which provides ior the transfer OF owner

in the enterprise, but will receive q
sreclfed amount for their railway,

To the Editor Of the Dispatch
A few lines from this part of the po-
litical vineyard, since it is near neighbor
to the homo OF our next Governor, may
interest. Our people have been wearing
the weeds Of mourning, seeing their la
bors so terribly negatived by desolating
seasons, that it was well that their
thoughts were diverted and the issues OF
o political contest presented. There was
a large attendance at the Courthouse Ut
being the regular term OF the County
Court, attracted by the publication that
Captain Mckinney would be present
His arrangements were all in that dlrec-
ton until summoned by telegram 10
Lynchburg to consult with the COM
mittee on important matters. This
seeming disappointment gave us three
very good and effective speeches
by Colonel Fitzgerald, Colonel Samuel
Coleman (our loved home product), and
the facetious Judge of Amelia. The first
two expounded IN mighty plain gospel
the issues Of this canvass, contrasting the
policies, platform, plans, and purposes
of the contending parties, and empha-
sizing the fact that intelligence and
Christian civilization would never sur
render 10 ignorance and harberism. led
by the cupidity of tyrannical upstart
in the person of Billy Malone. Judge
Farrar concluded in the highest tribute
to the splendid man the Democratic
party had as it's leader, and spiced his
speech with such humor as made the de-
pressed farmer forget for the nonce
his sad surroundings Our courteous
Judge Dabncy surrendered the court
house after the morning session, which
was we'll filed, and good many OF the
"brothers in black" remained attentive
listeners to the Democratic gospel.
