 The entire county machinery at this ...,ais in the hands of the Democratic ,',Jsrs: the entire election machinery ,'S, election was in the hands of the ,r,..,ocratic ,,. leaders and candidates; the c,nrtv Commissioners are Democrats; ", connty clerk is Democrat; every .Dsn I who has access to the court house au" in Democrat; the Galisteo ballot box .J returns were turned over to the NSD,Hmocratic SDH county clerk as the repre- p"ntstiye of the Democratic Board of S,,,ntv Commissioners this box and To returns therein disappeared from .be .b custody of the County Commission .n .s and from court house closely s, s.,naried and watched by Democratic ss#cals and Democratic policemen; the Vasnlt in Galisteo was the election of noorly the whole Republican ticket iosaliy, honestly and fairly.
 There is no doubt in the minds of de- ,ont and honest citizens that the ballot S,r in question was stolen in conformity Uitb plan matched up by some of the rnscrupulous leaders and candidates sn5 advisers, who are running the Dem ocratic machinery in this county; there !. no doubt that they knew all about it, and that it was done to steal the Legis- jotnre and the majority of the county ior their own gang. Some members of tbe gang now go about insinuating that ,be box was stolen at the instance of Re- nrbIicans, and in order to make trouble Cr fine Democracy. The lie is not only a silly one, very silly one, but defeats ;tseli on it's face, and the men who are spreading it know they are lying. The matter is plain simple and easily understood, and the oapg need not think it will be allowed to 20 unpunished, or that this theft will not be brought up against them at the nroper time. The cry "stop thief is loo much of a chestnut; besides, the men who are in this theft, and some of tbem are leaders of the local Democracy here, are too well known; they are known to be bad, interruptions and ut tery and entirely unfit for public office ar private trust. That's what there is to it. and the people, that is the good and honest citizens of the county, un- derstand the situation fully and will not be allowed to forget it.

Reply to Mr.. Jones-orher Matters.

RICHMOND, VA, February II, 1871.
To the Editor of he Dispatch:
In the Dispatch of the 14th instant is a
letter from Mr.. Aubrey II. Jones, of Tappa-
hammock, stating that my letter of the Sd
instant published in the Dispatch was re-
Election on an article he wrote and pub
| lished in the Richmond TimeSin December
last. Let me assure Mr.. Jones / did not
read his article in the Richmond Times, nor
did know he had written one until read
his letter charging me with reflection
on his article. Mr.. Jones, let me say toyou
that IN using the term "SoiOmons refer
to politicians remote from TidewateI. who
are constantly saying that politicians re-
presenting Iidewater are afraid to vote for
any tax on the oyster industry.
do not propose to answer Mr.. Jones's
criticisms on my course in the Legislature
as to the tax on the oyster industry. ]
know very we'll a representative is target
TO be shot at, but if / am shot at through
mistake think | am right in correcting it.
Mr.. Jones does present some very interest
ing questions and worthy of mature con-
sideration. and as far as l can | will GER
tainly study over them.
In the Dispatch of February 18th Mr.. Il.
S. Thomas has his farewell article on the
oyster question. propounding t,cety-one
Reic %, intricate ~, and Udsiiy important ()
questions that cannot De answered by one man
IA fire thousand in all TidelcdteI' Virginia, SO
says Mr.. Thomas.
Mr.. Thomas solves the problem by sug-
costing that some one be appointed to an
swer these nel1, intricate, and vastly i'm
portant questions and report to the next
Iegislature-that is, appoint a commits
sioner on oyster industry.
Mr.. Thomas appeared before our commit
tee and discussed some of these new, intri-
cate. and vastly important questions. These
twenty-one questions are not nelo i; every
one of them has been talked over for years
and we have legislation on some. and some
of them are now under consideration be-
fore the General Assembly. No necessity
for a commissioner. In January. 1886, one
Mr.. W. n. Armstrong, of Hampton, pre-
sented to the General Assembly ttoenty-One
ideas or questions, and the last one was
three oyster commissioners. MIR. Thomas 8
frenfy-frSt was for one competent person
commissioner TO be selected. We are
now making rapid strides in taxing our
oyster industry, and if from experience
aud observation the industry can stand a
further increase of taxes then let us do
so. / think the practical tonger, the prdcti-
cal planter, the practical dredger, and the
practical worker III the oyster industry are
the best Judges about the ability of the
people to stand the taxes. Representatives
of every interest of the industry have
given our committees their views. and
think legislation should be as near as pos
sible in accord with their views. | will
try and govern myself accordingly.

DECIDED SENSATION.
WHY A pANvlLLE FUNERAL WAS SUM-
MARILY POSTPONED.
Thought They Saw the Corpse Breathe
A Singular Case.
rspecisl telegram to tho Dispatch.I

D.xyIILr, Va, February f9.-I tele-
oraphed tho Dispatch yesterday that Miss
tnn;s Pollard had died of typhoid-pneu-
,no,da after an illness Of few days. The
funeral was announced to take place. but
fins morning when a number of people
went 10 the residence they were met at the
door Inv the undertaken who told them that
Il was believed that Miss Pollard was not
dead but in a trance, and physicians were
tben irving 10 restore her. The rumor
thai the Young lady had come to life spread
ranidlv over the city and caused sensa-
tom Crowds Of curious people Hooked 10
the house and all sorts Of reports were soon
mt afloat. An investigation showed that
hismorning about11 O'clock some ladicsin1
the room remarked that the body looked
life-like. and some of thcm imagined they
saw IL breathe. Restoratives were applied
and n phvsician sent for. but as soon as he
examined the body he was sure she was
dead. but. OF course. told the family II
thew thought differently they he'd better
postpone the funeral.
In short, there was no real reason what
ever for supposing the young lady was not
dead. and her relatives are much .gr1eyed
that the rumor should have caused such @
sensation. II Is remarkable, however. that
Miss Pollard had eleven brothers and SIS
ters. all of whom died of typhoid-pneu-
monia after a brief illness.

Possibly our legislators would do better TO
talk a little more about reform and less
about reirenchnenf. The laws for the as

and confined in two-story barn with sta

in his study, and saw the light short
w after the fire started. He ran
to the building and found that a
bundle of hay had been forced through
a window in a portion of the barn where
farming implements alone were stored.
The flames ignited the wood work and
climbed rapidly to the lott, where forty
tons of hay were stored. Az soon as Cap
tain Cussens saw the trouble he turned
the stock five horses) loose, taking them
easily. one at time. from the burning
building by throwing his coat over their
heads and keeping the sight of fire from
them The last one removed was scorched
slightly. The barn. besides the forty tons
of hay, contained two mowers, two road
scrapers, one rOad-leveller, one carriage,
one buggy, one wagon, plows, hoes, rakes,
and many other implements.
