Indeed the attempts ut applause were al

got very little assistance even from the follow,
ers Of Bell and Everett
Indeed, the demonstration" was even q
worse failure than the speech. and rs TO the
speech, il is enough TO say that Mr. Douglas
made a very great blunder in speaking at all.
Nowhere else are the people so we'll accustom.

where else is stump speaking so constantly,
carefully AMI critically cultivated. Nowhere
else are the rank and file so thoroughly inform

political candidate for any office appearing be-
fore Il Virginia audience with a piping
voice, an awkward manner and prosy
speech, is already half damned in their es-
timaton And . candidate for the State
Legislature who wolld commit one.half the
blunders in relation to we'll known political
facts which Mr.. Douglas committed on Friday
night would be severely taken To task, on the
spot, by majority Of his audience. When Pre-
sdential candidate informs an intelligent audi
cnce in Virginia that they voted for squattel
sovereignty in Sis and 1856, and when hun
dreds of his audience know that the Virgins
resolutions and address Of 1913 denounced tht
doctrine in mmcaSnrch terms-and even re
fused TO support any candidate known to bt
committed tot--and that similar rcpudiatioI
was even printed on our electoral ticket ir
1856, such state Of things can only serve tt
disgust every intelligent listener. No wonder
then, that number of our substantial citizen:
who went Ia the capitol grounds disposed tt
vote for Douglas, left with open expressions o
| contempt for the candidate.

Letter from A. Dudley Mann.

In this issue Of the Enquirer" will be found
an interesting letter from A. Dudley Mann, to
which we would call the attention Of the South
ern press and people.
The Railroads Of the South are particularly
interested in the subject Of direct trade, and
some certain and effective measure should, by
them, be Immediately undertaken to insure the
required amount Of freight.
Mr.. Mann has nobly devoted himself to this
subject Of direct trade, and his patriotic iabors
should be efficiently aided by the Railroads

CoSvIcr,nx or TORY. The trial Of William
D. Totly, indicted for the murder OF his sister
in-law, Catherine 1'hom, was brought to
close on Saturday last at - o'clock ".
Friday evening, after the close Of Mr. Taze-
wells speech, Mr. Croppcr commenced his
speech for the defence, and spoke for over an
hour and half lie was followed on the same
side by Col. August in an address Of two hours
duration. Mr.. Tazcwell, for the Commonwealth,
then rcplcd to counsel for the defence and oc-
cupied over an honr in bis address.

Of the Jurors then asked the Judge if the notes
Of officer Morris and DR.. Lewis evidence, as
taken hy the Attorney for the Commonwealth,
could be furnished to them? TO which the
Judge replied, that they could, provided that
the counsel for the defence were satisfied as to
the accuracy Of the notes rs compared With
their own.
1t was deemed better, however, 10 recall the
! witnesses; and officer Morris was then called
and re-examined, and the jury retired again to
their room without examining DR.. Lewis, but
directing at the same time that he should be
sent for. At il o'clock the jury sent mes
sage through the city sergeant to the Judge
for instructions on some point, and after con-
sultation ofabout 90 minutes duration between
the Judge and the counsel on both sides reply
was sent to the jury in written form. At ~
minutes to IL the jury came into court, ana ana

Grand Dem Rally,

I'y lar tic most crowded and enthusiastic
public meeting which has yet marked the pre-
sent canvass in Eichm md, took place at the
metropolitan Hall iii last Saturday night. Be-
fore the time appointed, both floor and gale
ries were crowded 10 excess. even the aisIes
being filed with persons standing. Shortly
after 5 O'Clock, Hon. Roger y. Pryor, the
speaker appointed for the evening, entered the
hall and proceeded to the platform in the midst
of deaiening cheers. Mr.. Pryor occupied the
stand for more than three hours, commanding
the nnbroEcn attention Of the entire audience
from the beginning to the end Of his address.
Indeed, the enthusiastic cheers which greeted
his appearance only grew louder, and the crowd
grew dcnSer rs the evening advanced. 1t was
nearly midnight when he resumed his seat ir
the midst Of general cries of "go on
We are unable to furnish at present any de-
tailed account Of the speech. 1t WAS compre'
hcnsivc and conclusive argument, mingled
with frequent and most effective appeals In
NC have ever heard from Mr.. Pryor, and by far
the hest and most effective which has yet been
delivered in Richmond during the present can
vass.
None could fail to remark the comparison be-
tween the two meetings of Friday and Satur
day night-the almost contenptuous apathy
with which Senator Douglas self.electioneer
ing haranguc was received, and the full ant
frequent shouts of overwhelming applause
which greeted Mr.. Pryor's able advocacy of the
cause of Breckenridge and Lane.
The ball is now we'll in motion. The whole
enthusiastic energy Of the Richmond Democra
cy is fully aroused The Douglas squib ha
already fixed out most lamentably, and TIT
Bcll-gcrincs seem to have exhausted all the
resources of action in the partial construction
of "that empty wigwam."
