THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 4. 1882.
The Circuit Court adjourned yesterday, to
meet again on the 29th inst.

There was a report yesterday, we do not know
how it originated, or how it cams'to be spread,
| that Mr. Van Buren, was dead. We hope that
in the run of this paragraph, no paper will quote
Us as authority for the rumor, as we are not ac-
quainted with any grounds for believing it to be
| true.
The communication Of our friend and cores.
pondent, "a Mechanic" relative to making
Monday the pay day for workmen instead Of sa.
turday, is inserted 10 the Baltimore American,
and its advice recommended to the attention and
consideration of all employers In that city.
Not to receive the Richmond Wing, is bad
enough, but to receive it in blank on one whole
side, is truly vexatious. Sour sufferings," as
certain great man said, ' is intolerable."
The Correspondence between Mr.. Gouverneur
and Mr.. Blair, already referred to, is inserted as
part of the history of the Politics Of the Day.
Mr.. G.. in sending this publication to the press
says:-
do not hesitate to say, that my position has
not been without many causes OF embarrassment
Some of them have no reference to the pubic
but if all we're fairly understood, they could not
fail to afford me great cause for indulgence. In
pursuing the course have adopted, may act
upon mistaken coBclusions-but they are the re-
suit Of my honest convictions.

definitely" -

5000 majority for the Anti-Jacksun ticket.
