Arrest of a Mail Robbers

For some time past money and checks to
considerable amount have been distracted from
the mails in this section of the State, and es-
pecislly between Staunton end Harrison0urg'
The attention of the Department having oesn
called to the matter special agent Mcclure was
despatched to ferret out tie thief which led on
Saturday morning last to the arrest OF John b.
Grove, who carried the mail in haDd cart be-
tween the Stanton Post office and the Depot OF
the Central Railroad. The detection ofthe man
was effected by means of decoy letters placed IN
the post-offlces at Harrisonburg and Mt. Sidney,
upon which the agent kept his eye. He found
that they entered the Stanton office, but were
missing when the mail was assorted on the cars
and Grove hav ing had opportunity to abstract
the letters while Capt. Stevenson, our postmaster
was filling the bags to deliver to him, suspicion
fell upon him and he was arrested. bank
note of the denomination oftwenty dollars, which
bad been marked and placed in the decoy letter
at Harrisonburg was found in his possession,
and we understand that he told where FIVE dol
lar gold piece similarly marked could be found.
The case is plain, as Grove himself remarked
when asked whether he desired to summon
any witnesses in his behalf. Grove was raised,
we understand, near Waynesboro He was com
United by commissioner Cochran and lodged in
jail by Deputy Marshal j. B. Watts.

Hair Rrnsbes and PerfumerY:

The Democratic Congress supplied itself with
hair brushes at an enormous cost, at the puohc
expense, and it is fair to presume that those OF
the members who belonged to the "perfumed'
Democracy treated themselves likewise to
variety of sweet smelling extracts and essences.
One half the money might have been saved to
the government, if instead of purchasing these
articles from the favorites of the Administration
at outrageous prices, they had patronised our
townsman, DR.. W. B. Young, who keeps always
on hand an elegant assortment OF toilet articles
at fair prices 1t will be recollected that two
of the members of Congress did not take brush
es. one of whom is supposed to have been the
Hon. John Letcher. DR.. Young having sue
ceeded with great difficulty N obtaining one Of
the "refused" brushes, wrapped up In a copy OF
the Report of the "Investigatory Committee, u
has kindly handed it over to us. The DR.. also
has on hand, amidst great variety, some OF the
soap which was recommended by Henry a.
Wise to wash cut the stains of Locofocoism.-
Those in want of any of those articles will please
call at the Drug Store.

r.exingtOn PreSbYtery.

This body met in the Presbyterian Church IN
stauntou, on Wednesday night last, and adjourn
ed Saturday evening. During the session TWEEN
ty-two Ministers and large number of Elders
were present. The Rev. DR.. Mcfarland was
elected Moderator, and the Rev. Messrs. Trim
BILE and Irwin Clerks. An interesting debate
occurred Friday night, on the proposed changes
in the Book of Discipline of the Presbyterian
Church, and the Fresbytery resolved to ask the
General Assembly to postpone definite action on
the subject for another year. On Saturday
morning the Rev. DIR. Junkin delivered an elab-
crate speech in favor of adhering to the rule
prohibiting the marriage of church member
with the sister of deceased wife. Other min
listers favored its abrogation. Messrs. s. Brown
and D. O. Irwin, Ministers, and James Henry
and James Wilson, Elders, were elected dele
gstes to the General Assembly, which meets
next month, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The next
meeting of Presbytery will be held in Buckhan-
non UDshur couDty

Political Discussion.

The debate between Messrs. Stuart and Niche
Wing and Democratic Electors for this Congress
sional District came off on Monday, according
to appointment. Mr.. Stuart opened in a speech
OF an hour and half, occupying most of the
time in showing up in its hideous deformity, the
prohigacy and extravaganza of the present Dem,
ocratic Administration for which the Democratic
party is responsible, and which stands endorsed
by the Petersburg Convention which nominated
Mr.. Letcher. The authorities produced by Mr.
Stuart were Democratic, which of course Mr.
Niche could not gainsay or resist Mr.. Stuart's
opening speech was one of the best we have eY-
er heard from him, and his rejoinder full of hap.
by repartee and genuine elequence.
Mr.. Niche, if we may venture to express the
opinion in these days when the statements Of
partizan editors are really entitled to but little
weight, did not ansaoer Mr.. Stuart's speech
Much of his time was taken up with the Know
Nothings. Mr. Stuart happily illustrated the at
tack upon "Sam" by Falstaffs assault upon the
body of the dead Percy. We regret that we
have not time to notice the discussion at greater
length, and regret still more that every voter in
the County of Augusta did not hear it 10 full.

The Richmond District.

Judge John Robertson, of Richmond, has an
nounced himself candidate for Congress, OF
which he was member many years ago. lie
has always, we believe, been Jealous Demo.
crat, but has lately taken decided ground a.
gainst some of the practices otshis party. 10
his card he says that he has presented himself
as candidate on mature reflection, and not so
much because of the urgent solicitation of friends
as from desire once more to record his vote in
thejournals of the Federal Legislature in sup
port of the principals he has ever protested and
maintained, land in opposition to the excessive
prodigalty, the manifold corruptions, and the
palpable and avowed usurpations of the Federal
authorities" Judge Caskie, Democratic NOM
inee, and Mr. Dejarnette independent Democrat,
are candidates in the same District. The Wings
will certainly prefer Judge Robertson 10 either
of the other gentlemen.

There are counties to hear from, among which
Fiuyanna and GooShland have given Mr.. Rob

We are authorized by Dr.. E. G. Norman to
state, in response to the call made upon him last
week, by correspondent who subscribed him
self "Waynesborough," that he respectfully de-
clnes to become candidate for the Legislature
He was o member of the meeting at March
Court, and saw that the regular candidates were
fairly nominated. Under no circumstances
would he run against them.
We are also authorized to say that Maj. Jas
Walker, for reasons entirely satisfactory, will moi
be candidate. Having learned that an edit
orial article in the last Spectator" has beer
misunderstood, we take pleasure in saying thai
twas written without the least unfrendiy feeling
towards Major Walker, nor do we think it bears
such construction.

Distressing InteIligence.

We are deeply panied to learn that our towns
man, Hon. A. H. II. Stuart, received telegraph
io despatch from Memphis this morning stating
that his son, B. Baldwin Stuart, who left home
last week for Louisiana, had been severely in
jured by the blowing PIP of the steamer, St. Mich
olas, on the Mississippi River. Forty-fve per-
sons were killed, and the dispatch states that
Mr.. Stuart was severely burned in the hands
and face, but it had not been ascertained wheth-
er he bad received any internal injuries. He
was well provided for, however, and in the hands
of skillful physicians. We sincerely trust that
his life may be spared

the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind,

it was indeed great-great like the character of

nothing could be added to it or taken from it

whole.

4essrs. Editors: Allow me word or SO, sug
gested by your correspondent who signs himsel
"a Reader" in your last issue. The writer al
uded to, thinks that if the Opposition party shall
cast their votes for John T. Harris, he will b.
more severe upon them than if nominated by 6
minority caucus of his party. In his endeavol
to regain the confidence of his party for running
against the regular nominee, he must go to at
nnwarrantable extent in his opposition to the
Wing party, &c, &c. & Ef$l = 2
Let US see how stands the case. That a ma
ljority OF Harris party the Democratic in the
district are opposed to Convention, | think nc
one can successfully deny. The Convention OF
Both March did not represent the wishes and
feelings Of his party. Augusta was largely d.
vided; out of 1900 Democrats, 60 only attended
a call to send delegates to Harrisonburg Q9 81
galnsta Convention and Al for it.) The evidenced
of opposition in the strong voting counties OF
Shenandoah and Rockingham are Enthusiastically
against Convention. And how was the sol
called Convention of the Both March gotten up
Why by the politicians (and not the masses) who
assigned as a reason that the Wings and Amer
cans could not be trusted. They ohimed in afte3
Mr.. Koiner's declaration that they were OATH
bound, &c. G
Talk with the Democracy who intend to vote
for Skinner over Harris, and hear what they
have to say. They say "a Convention was ne1
cessary to keep you Wings from slipping or sneak
ing in man through crack. We don't believe
you" This is the system adopted by the Con-
ventonalsts, at this late day, to get democratic
votes for Mr.. Skinner. Some who are more
bold than cautious, declare they don't want Wing
votes; we ask no favors at your hands.
The friends of Harris, who are principally
made up from that portion of the DemoeracN
who are willing to trust the Wings and Ameri
cans by opposing convention, further declara
that they have faith in the opposition, believe
they are honorable and have never cast an odium
upon them, either directly or indirectly, as men
of truth and veracity, socially and morally.
The friends of Mr.. Skinner, who are Conven-
tionasts, are men fighting Harris and his friends
upon the charge that we don't believe these
Wings and Know Nothing; as our oracle, Sir
Absalom, declared, We can't trust them, &c.
Harris by his boldness has asserted the right of
the people, or at least the right of majority, to
select the Congressman, and to give the opposi-
ton some little "say so" in the fight, and it is,
Messrs. Editors, the first time they have had that
poor privilege since the formation of the district.
How any member of the opposition can vote for
Mr.. Skinner and endorse the charge made against
the friends and advocates of Convention, j. e.,
that they are not to be "believed-oath bound
Know Nothings, &C., &c :" is to me inexplioable.
