The Democratic conventions.
which met IN Tarpahannock, last
week, nominated as the standard
bearer OF the Democratic party for
III. Congressional contest this fall,
VIM. a. Jones, of Richmond Coun-
tv. IN making the announcement,
it is hardly necessary to couple
with it The declaration, that he
will have our cordial and active
support. White men nominated
HIM and if no other reason existed
for following his leadership. HAT
would be sufficient. In presenting
his name, however. 10 The people "f
Accomac, it is Il pleasure for MS to
he able 10 state. that the reason
given is not the only one that ell
titles him TO yonr support. His
record will bear the closest scrutiny
there is net a stain upon it. He
is one of the ablest men in the
district and has not only the in
.elicence to discern What the best
interests of the people demand:
hut The courage and honesty to
vote against the Force bill and
all other eaSnrcs introduced into
Congress suppress and humiliate
the Southern people.

Tic Eastern Shore A gricultural
Fair, which closed yesterday, was
ii grand success in all respects.
Every department. was fnll of fine
exhibits, rejecting credit upon our
people, which won for them plau
dts from all in attendance. The
display Of articles furnished by the
ladies, and agricultural products,
deserve especial mention, and it is
TO fulsome praise to say of them,
tina, they could not have hcen
surpassed anyN here. The poultry,
hogs, sheep and horses also on ex-
hibition came well up to the stand
ard OF excellence, especially the
colts, and poultry. Inthe trials of
speed many fine horses we're enter
ell, and so noted by the vast
audience in attendance daily, but
were not sufficiently we'll matched
to appear to the best advantage,
though very interesting feature
of the Fair. Financially it came
fully up to the expectation of the
managers-tle attendance being
larger OH Thursday, than on any
day in the thirteen years OF its
existence. or the good order,
which prevailed during the Fair,
roo much praise cannot be given.
1t was not married by disturb
ance ofany kind, which came un-
der our notice. Altogether, it was
the best Fair ever held on the
Eastern Shore-and will receive
the attention its merits demand
in our next issue.
