j. A. Leslie, E>q,
Editor G. V. News,
Dear Sir My attention has been
callee 10 a statement in your paper
that ] have voted IN favor of prop
crty Qualification of $500 90 as q
prerequisite TO voti &.
TINS statement is not correct. j
have not voted in favor of any such
proposition, and l hope you will cor
rect the statement. Please send NC
"A copy of your paper showing that
you have made the correction.
Respectfully,
A. z. GnLE, PIE.
We got our Information from the
Lynchburg News, the date Of which
we do not remember. We give below
clipping from that paper from
which we got orr information. A.
viii be seen, it is not stated here that
the amount was 100000, but we uu-
derstood, from what seemed TO be
good authority, that this was the
amount. The LyDchburg News puts
"the two Republican membors
among 1.-The four votes in favor of the
proposition" Az MIR. Gillespie did
not, as he says. vote for "any such
proposition" we gladly make the cor
recton 81 he requests. We give
below the clipping from the Lynch
burg News.
49, TIE proposition to require
tn" prepayment of a property tax was
next taken up and defeated by IA vote
of Is 10 5. Messrs Lindsay, Flood
aud others spoke i'll opposition to thi'
feature.
One of the objections to it was thai
the prepayment OF the poll taxes wal
to eliminate irresponsible and incom
petent negro voters, not as n revenue
measure. and the requirement of th,
prepayment of property taxes from
the best class of the voting pOpuln
ton WAS a needless and questionable
expedient,
1t was also charged that the Re
publieans desire to load the suffrage
clause down with as many extraction'
as possible" for the purpose of max
ing it hit all classes and render il
unpopular.
Out of the foui votes in favor o
the proposition, the two Republican
mem bers voted for 1t, Mr.. Moore
making an earnest speech in its ad
vocacl ;also Mr.. Alexander Hamilton

CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION
Expense Committee Uses
Knife Freely.

Richmond, Va, July 27.-The
constitutional convention held very
brief session today. There were
quite number of resolutions and
memorials, but all interest centered
in the reading OF the report by Mr..
Withers of the committee on reduc-
tion of expenses, revolutionizing the
Judiciary af the State. The com
mi;tee put the knife deep in this
matter and uprooted the entire
present system. The county and
circuit court system of the State
is abolished and a system entirely
new is recommended.
The State is to be divided into
twenty circuits and the Judge who
presides over these shall take the
place of both the present county and
circuit judges. They are to he paid
$4,000 per annum $3.50 per year for
expenses instead of mileage as at
present. Each circuit shall aave
prosecuting attorney whose salary
shall be 81 800 per annum. There
shall be at least three terms of court
in each circuit each year. The
abolition of corporation courts in
cities Of less then 12,500 inhabitants
is recommended and duties put upon
the circuit court. This reduces the
number of court officials from eight
corporaii m judges, eighty-hve county
judges, los corporation and county
C Iurt clerks and l0S commonwealth
attorney. and all the present circuit:
judges to twenty Judges twenty at
torneys and 100 clerks
Mr. Summers, of Washinst n
county, presented a sweeping r,sol !.
ton prescribing most rigid oath
to be taken by all public officials
elected in the State, including u United
States Congressman and Senators
setting forth that they lac not
direc' 'ly or indirectly either used or
permitted to he used any promise
of appointment, in order to secuIe
their election.

gstes had been informed by wire just as

that the result OF the storm had prevented
his earlier appearance. Several long
tables In the chapel burdened with food
prepared by the ladies' OF the society pre-
sented an inviting appearance to thoss
who had come to partake OF so good q
feast. The ladies were on hand to serve
the excellent supper prepared by them to
the invited guests,v and everything at the
chapel passed Oft in a satisfactory man
ner. After the supper all repaired to the
