Confederate Dinner.

The dinner rendered Monday evening,
anniversary of the birth of Cen h. +.
Lee, to the James Breathed Campof Con
federate Veterans by COmrade James
Clark, of Cumberland, was very fine
affair. Spead in the dining hall of his
splendid residence, it was IL service of
many savory courses. The Cumberland
NF~S very accurately depicts the scene
ere 1.-The action opened"
The feast was spread in the large dining
hall of the Clark mansion. The decorations
were the cOlors of the Confcderacy, broad
strcamcrs of red and white depending from
the chandelier to the corners of the table
while little Confederate flags were placed ut
each plate Red and white carnations and
palms constituted the floral adornmcnts
The dinner would have won the admiration
of the most eXacting epicurc, So many and
varied were the tempting dclicacirs
When the "Old Grizzlies formed i'll
line on each side there was Il picturesque
though not unpleasing contrast between
the splcndor of the surroundings and the
dignity which crowns grey hair and
frosted whiskcrs. OF all who sat at the
board the host looked youngest, yet few
of his guests saw more and scvercr ser
vice.
DR.. j. +. Iacharias, commander of the
camp, was toastmastcr, an office he
filled with acceptance to all.
Mr. Clark responded fclici:ouSly to an
acknowledgment of his kindness i'll cN-
tending the dinner; DR.. G. II. Car
penter, of West Va, spoke of The
Cavalry" p. Z. Burwcll, of Mt. say
age, of The Infantry and Dir. i. Nj.
Cromwell of Eckhart, of the service in
general. II. II. Mansbach, of Cumbcr-
land, delivered an address which ter
minated in il miniature rebel yell in honor
of Mr.. Clark
Upon one conclusion there was una
nimity complete and enthusiastic that
Mr. Clark had very thouShtfully and
generously paid il compliment to his
comrades that none can forget as one of
the brightest recognitionS of his army
career, otherwise SO futile OF political aud
personal advantage.
About 30 persons Were present, ii num-

GOOD FOR HENRlCO.

The Democratic Committee Of Henrico
adopted noble resolution at Its meeting
on wednesday last. It was printed In our
news columns yesterday, but It is worthy
OF reproduction and emphasis The com.
mittee resolved:
THAT this committee pledges itself to
use it's utmost efforts III seeing that the
provisions Of the Barksdale pure election
law are strictly complied with IN the
primary to be held in this county on
September Sd next; that 1t declares ts
purpose to take cognizance Of any and
all violations Of this law, and upon proof
brought to Its attention that any candidate
has been using such influence In his be-
half, clearly in conflict with the provi.
sons of the said law, that this commit.
tee will do its utmost to have such fact
clearly established, and the candidate
guilty thereof punished according to law
The pure elections law was enacted for
a purpose and laws are made to be obey.
cd. All citizens are under obligations to
obey the law. but especially party repre-
sentattves, and more especially candidates
for the General Assembly. Tho unrestrlct-
ed use Of money in elections Is sure to
degenerate into an abuse Of the privilege
for even though the candidate IS himself
opposed to using his money as a corrup-
ton fund, he cannot control the money
when it has passed out Of his hands into
the hands Of his agents. There is but one
safe rule. and that is to prohibit the use
OF money except for the actual necessities
which are few and which are defined in
the statute
The Henrico Committee deserves credit
for taking this determined action, and It's
example should be followed by every
committee in the State. Tho use OF mono,
In elections Is dcmorallzing, and 1t fire.
quently defeats the will Of the people
1t puts the poor man at disadvantage
and often deters him from entering con
tost against the rich. The matter is nov
In the hands of the people, and If they dt
not see that the law Is enforced 1t is thell
own fault.
