The Storm.

The storm which visited THE sec
tion was uDprecedept IN severity
and damage done, in the history G
the county. Fortunately there was
little or no wind, only steady down
pour of rain until the streams and
every mountain gorge was filled with
rushing, roaring torrents of water.
Great damage was done the roads OF
the county, which will require
months to ,epair and great expendi-
lures Of money. Fortunately at this
season there is not great need OF
hauling, as it is now impossible to
driye a team over many of the road
of the county. With sli our dam
age, however, our injury and loss is
slight, compared with other nearby

Why So Much DeIat.

We don't wish to appear in the
role of critic of the actions of the
Constitutions Convention, but it
looks, to one at this distance, that
there are great many "adiOurn-
ment," pOstponement etc, and that
the Convention is slow in getting
down to business. five remember
correctly the Constitution only
numbers eight or ten pages, and
the work might easily be done
within short time-say sixty days.
Because Ninety days was named
as the time in which the work
should be finished does not make
it necessary to take the whole
ninty days. But, as we said we
live at distance and many not

essary. However, two weeks or
more have passed, and nothing
has been done, except organize.

Col. HAMPTON Hoqe.

Col, Hoge, a former Democrat,
aud well known in the sta'e, Will
likely be the Republicans nominee
for Governor, at least that is the
talk in these parts. He Will, it is
quite likely, get the delegation
from Tazewell. Col. Hoge is IA
young vigorous man, and will be
able to make a spirited canvass.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who recen.
tly "ilop2ed', to the Republican
camp from the Democrats, is also
spoken OF for the position as can
dIdate for the nomination, but the
Generals conversion TO Repu bli>
can principles was quite sudden,
and is of very recent date, and there
are older Republicans who may
make a demand upon the party for
recognition. 1t matters but little
TO the Democrats who the Repub-
licaDs nominate, however. Col. Hoge
like many another, who joined the
Republican party expecting ofiice,
will be dOmed TO disappointment.
There is some honor in a nomina-
tion for the GOvernOrshIp OF a
state ike Virginia, and this, we
presume is all he expects.

pages, and the candidates and their
friends bad made their plans accord
ingly' But to the disappointment
and CONSERVATION of the various
persons i'll interest, when the repor'
of the committee came in the bum
Der had been reduced to eight! 1t
was contended by gentlemen who
favored the larger number that the
first duty of the constitutional con.
veDtiOn was to deal out exact justice
to all, and that it was unjust and
cruel for the convention to decline
to support and ratify the impression
which had gone abroad that there
would be eleven pages. The con-
vention had no rigat, in morals at
least, to let this impression go stalk
ing around with its tacit consent,
and then by reducing the number Of
pages to eight cruelty disappoint
three of the candidates who had come
up to Richmond relying in good faith
upon a current and accepted report.
But that was not the worst of it..
1t was also ccntended, with much
earnestness and eloquence, that
there should be one page from each
Congressional district and enc for
the State at large. and that it was AN
unrighteous discrimination to deny
representation to some of the Con
gressionsl districts while giving the
city of Richmond two pages.
We fear that the convention has
made a great mistake at the start.
If one of these unrepresented Con
gressional districts should have
occasion to complain of any subse
quent action of the convention, if
there should be any provision in the
new constitution which seemed to
bear harder upon these districts than
upon other districts more highly
favored, the people in the unfavored
districts will go down to their graves
believing that it was all due TO the
fact that they had no page to repre-
sent them in the constitutional con
vention. Bad blunder. We believe
that represention should be equal
and uniform. 1t is serious BUSINESS
to make constitution, and there
ought to be no lack of pages There
oua bit to be a page for each and
every district, and it would give
general satisfaction aud sound we'll
to have one page for the State at
large.-Richmond Times.
