From a Friond of Mr. WilJiunif.
Mr. I'Milor : ? Wit-limit, any reduc
tion on miy of liu1 Executive Com
mittee, for I Jo not know them per- j
sunnily, I have always bulii vcd that
"tho majority 9!i<>aN1 always rule,"
and in reference to'their decision an j
to nur n? xt Shf-ritf, I think that i;
they found?and there is no doubt
tln v wore perfectly honest in their
decision?irregularities in tin1 t'li'f
lion, wIly not appoint n?:\v manager* I
for tho cnliro county. If the F.xec j
utivc committee is not willing to j
lake the returns, ''as sworn to by ?
I he managers," I hen what in the use
nf the snmo thin^ over'1 ngain. Il l
seems in my weak judgment I hut the
only way trt j^et the result of the
election is from the managers of tin-'
I difleient voting/precincts, and it it is
found that tlurp was ??fraud" thei,;
the box sliould be thrown out, for if!
th??y would knowingly return onei
' voter that was not lawful it is not
j right to return any. I have always
| iieen, and cxpeut to remain. a Wil
liams man," but had T given my sup
I port to his opponent, in the seeend
I race I would certainly turn over
' I write not to offend, but that justice
I should be done.

A Good Beginning.
'I he reason was opened in great
fdmpe at the Aoademy of Musje, last
night by Al. 0- Field's Minstrels,
and the large oudi< nee went aw;sy
well pleased with the funny things
they saw, heard, tho good music and
the special work . Notwithstanding
the faet that Al Field ha* two shows
now in Virginia, the one that came!
h^re was a good .one. In the first
place it was freer from vulgarity
than moat minstrols, and in tho see.
oud place tho jokes were fresh i
enough t<> bo in keeping with the)
costumes Ordinarily tbc joke lea
lures have worn many a minstrel
parb to a friaale and tlio risibilities
of the victims to a rapped edge. Un
fortunately the lights went out 1hk(
night a few minutes before tho pro
gram eloRoi, necessitating a rather
abrupt termination, hut tho m'bhup
