HALIFAX.
South Boston, Va, July 10.-Preciuct
meetings were held and delegates elected
to the county convention which meets on
the 10Th. Houston instructs half her
delegation for Tyler and half for Ellyson
1t is impossible to get any information
as to the action on governor of the other
precincts,as the very bitter fight between
w. P. Barksdale and w. J. Jordan, the
incumbent, for the State Senate, occupies
the attention of every one. The county
probably is about evenly divided between
Ellyson any Tyler. Houston instructs
for Montague for attorney general. Re-
turns from all but three precincts show
that the fight between Barksdale and Jor-
dan is very close, with the chances in fa-
vor of Barksdale
