registring Officer, and denied that I could resign my position as registring officer, all of which he was falls at the time. I may remark here that Lieut. Busbys candidate voted the conservative ticket, but he was willing to resort to any measure to defeat the express will & wishes of the Republican party; and to advance his interest and gratify the conservative Party. I would say that their never has been a personal difficulty or words between Lieut Busby & myself. I was recommended as registring Officer by him, I recieved in my County a handsome majority & near two hundred of white registred votes. In conclusion I would say: That in my judgment a change in the administration is desirable, & at this time ther is little or no necessity for an Agent of the Bureau in Northumberland & Lancaster Countys, & would state that ther is little or nothing that demands their attention, that a citizen of the County be apointed at a nominal salary of $25.00/100 per month, or that the district be added to Richmond & Westmoreland Countys. If the former course is thoght advisable I can recomend E. H. Daw or D. H. Gulick of Heathville Va. either of which will make competent, efficient & loyal Officers & would be exeptible by the Citizens. Very respectfully Your Obedient Servant Ephraim Nash
