Tur DEATH OF LITrLEToN TAzLwEn.-lt is our
most painful duty to have to chronicle this morning
the deatb of Littleton Tazewell, Commonwealths
,tto,pev elect for the Circuit Court of the city oil
Picbmond This sad event occurred III TINS clty
Yesterday morning, just before noon al the res
dence of his sister Mrs. Southai' ad]olhiig o. OF.
Paurs Church. The report OF his dangerous Illness
the uay before nlu plepdIeu MS III
IN fear that hs recovery was almost lmpo'SlOie'
He was horn in the city of Richmond IL the year
1877. ana was the SON of Dr. Tazewell-a hrst Gou'
sin of Governor Waller Tazewell lie eptered WI,
liam and Mary College IN lS3o where II S'uuIeu I.
Soled Robert Tyler and other prominent irgmahs
wore his classmates. After being admitted to the
bar he moved 10 Mecklenburg, and soon attained a
nromnent position among the using young wings
of that sectiOn As consequence, he was elected
Of in MpIElpuDuTn
District in which body, during term OF four years
he served with credit In 1855, during the exciting
and memorable campaign between Wise ana
Flournv for the GOyenOrShp he received
the American nomination for COngre
in the Prince Edward district, and after hard
fought contest was defeated by the late William u.
GOOde, the representative of the Democratic party.
The next year. or the year after he returncdto Rich
mond and resumed the practice of his proiesson'
taking at once prominent position at bar where
many of the leading legal inteects of the state were
already in full practice On the resignation oi Marina
duke johnson, ESD. as Commonwealth Attorney,
in 1858, so rapidly had Mr. Ta2ewell grown in popu-
larty with the people of this city that he was elect
ed to that office by a handsome majority over MI
Sturdvant lately elected Mayor. This office he
held from the period of his first election until the
evacuation of Richmond, and we are guilty OF no
fulsOme culOgy when we say that the state
had neither an ADLER nor more faithful prosecutor.
1t was fact frequently alluded TO by his friends
was in the constant habit OF going farther than we
have in aluding to his fitness for the position. His
defeat by Marmaduke Johnson for the same ollce IN
July last was, by no means, an indication that MS
pouularity was on the wane but merely the re-
suit of his running in opposition TO gentleman
who i'm addition to his immense popularity, was
fresh from field where he had won enviabIe dlstinc-
ton in many of the hardest fought battles OF the war
As an evidence of this Mr. T. had only to oer Tor the
Legislature few month, afterwards TO ascertain
l,nf irltrp ~ q
him. Mr. johnson declined the Auorneysllp, under
circumstances we-kuoWn to our readers ana Mr.
Tazwell was again elected, only few days ago,
without opposition lie was never married and
leaves no family to mourn his loss, but large con
nection OF relations and host of friends IN every
portion of the state will long deplore his death.
lie was OF 4 generous and impulSive nature, and
a kinder tluer friend, or more generous, honor
able or chivarOus man than lttleton TaIwcll' new
cr claimed the Virginia he loved so iondly as his
birthplace.

quOIS.

/ lead to the detection of the thieves.

entered the establishment Of Mr.. Frank Wesley on
corner of Thirteenth and Governor streets, ON Wed
neslay night and relieved him Of a new oyercoat.
If the scamp could only hear the curses loud and
deep put upon him, he would, no doubt repent
! OF the deed.
