When the misguided and imprudent votary O


When the misguided and mprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has mbibed the seeds OF this
painful disease it too often happens that an timed
sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him
from applying to those who, from education and
respectability alone befriend him, delaying till
the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease
make their appearance, such as liberated sore
throat diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head
and limbs, dimness ofsight deafness, nodes on the
shin bones and arms, botches on the head, face and
extremties, progressing with fghtu rapidity, till
at last the palate of the mouth the bones of the
nose fall in and the victim of this awful disease
becomes n horrid object of commiseration till death
puts period to his dreadful sufferngs by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence no
traveller returns"
1t amciancholy fact that thousands fall victims
to this terrible disease owing to the unskilfuness of
ignorant pretenders, who, by the of that Deadty
Poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution and make
the residue of life miserable.

ALLSoUL's DAY.-To-day is All Soul's
Day. In the Catholic Church it is held as
a day Of commemoration for the souls OF
the faithful departed, and the Church sets
it apart for devotiOnS for the dead. In the
faith Of that Church the prayers of the
faithful living are available for the eternal
repose of those who have gone before them
in death, and deyotions Of this kind are
especially appropriate this day. In Catho-
lie countries, and in New Orleans in this
country, the cemeteries are beautifully
decorated, and each family ornaments the
tombs of its dead, in many instances mag
nificently, with flowers, vases, lighted
candles, etc.
After church services the faithful re-
pair, generally by families, to the ceme-
teries, and each one drops flower, or
offers short prayer for the reposc of the
soul, over the grave Of some friend or
relative. This beautiful custom has been
handed down from time immemorial, and
since the late war we find it partly carried
out upon our memorial days.
There will be services at the different
Catholic churches to-day. At the cathe.
dral there will be a mass at o'clock, at
which the names Of the adult members
who have died within the last year will be
read out, and their souls recommended to
the prayers Of the faithful.

THE ELECTION DISTURBANCES
RIAL OF RSON S 4.

The trial of William A. Parsons, white,
with and preventing one Robert Price
from casting his vote, and with riot
ously and maliciously interfering with
divers other persons in the exercise Of the
elective franchise, and attempting to
create riot between the white and CO.
lored citizens Of Richmond" the said Of
fences being committed at the First Ward
polls on the 23d of last month, was re-
sumed before Commissioner Hambrick
yesterday.
Mr.. Joseph Kelly sworn: On the morn
ing of the 23d of October saw Parsons
standing up stairs in the First Ward polls.
Saw him tear up Conservative tickets of
colored voters and otherwise interfering
with them. l informed tho police of his
conduct, and they made him come down
the steps. After awhile he slipped up
stairs and again commenced tearing up the
Conservative tickets in the hands Of CO.
lored voters and giving them lIunnicutt
tickets. | knew that the warrant for the
arrest of Parsons was gotten out by Riley.
When Parsons was brought down stairs,
after interfering with Price, he remarked
to the negroes around: "Therc goes the
ID yellow rebel that voted the Conser-
vative ticket; we'll spot him." Four or
five negroes then started after Price, but
returned on seeing that the white people
intended protecting him. Nothing oc-
Cured after this.
To-day Parsons told me that he didn't
care d-n about my evidence.
Questioned: | was in the Office of Mr..
, Page when he wrote the warrant for the
arrest of Parsons, and said at the time that
there was no use in arresting him, as he
was Republican and would be released
in five inmates after being arrested. Par
sons's language was such as to incte riot
between the whites and blacks. The main
part Of the warrant was read to Mr.. Riley,
and he having been directly in contact
with Parsons when he interfcrcd with
Price, his name was put in the warrant.
did not see Parsons take away Prices
ticket, but did see him tear up tickets of
others. Heard Parsons yell out when
Beale (colored) came up TO vote: "Tbat
! id old scoundrel wants to vote the
rebel ticket" The old man was run into
the station-house by the negroes, who
waited around for him to come out. /
went up and asked him why he had gone
up there. He said that ga white man
and lot of negroes had run him of, and
would not let him vote.n He said he
wished to vote. / then took him under
my protection, and carried him to the en-.
trance of the polls, when the negroes com
menced whooping and yelling at him.
/ told them that they had better not
touch him, as intended to protect him
By this time the polls were closed, and
carried him home. But for the negroes
he would have voted.
A number of negroes will be brought
before the Commissioner to-day. Ben
Scott, the colored chief Of police in Mon
roe Ward, will be among them.

FUNERAL OF MIR. MICHAEL GRETTER-
ELOQUENT FUNERAL RsE.-4 ester
day evening the remains of Mr.. Michael
Gretter were taken to the Second Pres
byterian church, where an eloquent fune-
raj discourse was preached by Rev. DR..
Moses d. Hoge. There was large at
tendance of the friends Of the deceased.
The Doctor, in his sermon, dwelt upon the
many virtues Of Mr.. Gretter. Said he :
A." Hereafter as often as stand in this pulpit
| must miss one upon whose venerable
form | have been accustomed to look every
Sabbath since the dedication of this
church to the worship Of God for since
May, 1S48, then first before me have
been in the constant habit Of seeing one
whose quivering lips and fearful eyes
gave expressive evidence of the emotion
with which he listened to the blessed
truths Of the Gospel, which was to him
so inspiriting in its hopes, so rich in its
consultations. On no Sunday since the
period referred to has he failed to meet
me and express his gratitude at the
blessed privilege Of being permitted to
engage in the public service Of God once
more"
The Doctor preached a most eloquent
sermon, and we sincerely regret that we
are unable to publish it in full.

| Messrs. Smith Ellis, j. 7. Cornett, 4
NJ. Turner, and John T. Glenn bad formed
decided opinions, and were therefore re-
jected.
These were all that the sherifs had been
able to summon by the appointed hour.
Judge Crump remarked that in his opin-
ion large portion of the county had not
yet been canyassed by the sheriff and his
deputies; but if their duty has been per-
formed, and no better talesmen than some
of those whom the Court had rejected for
personal incompetency, the freeholders of
| the county Of Henrico must be exhausted,
and the time must have arrived to go out
Of the county. Let the sheriffs now 60
across the James river into Chesterfield,
or on this side Of Hanover, and he would
guarantee that hundred intelligent men
could be found without any difficulty who
have never heard OF the case. This is
the kind Of men deSired-intelligent Vir-
ginia men, who are able to understand the
language Of the indictment and the evil
dence and arguments in the case.
Colonel Young defended the sheriffs, and
insisted that the time had not arrived to
go to another county.
The Judge stated that the counsel were
not more anxious than the Court to pro-
ceed with the trial. He had patiently
passed six days in this attempt to get a
jury. Only two jurors were uow wanting,
and he was of opinion that these two could
certainly be found in the county. One
more attempt must be made. He would,
therefore, order another tales of twenty
five men to be summoned to appear at II
O'Clock to-day.
The sheriffs were then instructed to use
all diligence, and to prefer men Of intelli-
gence residing remote from the city.
The court adjourned to meet at 10
o'clock this morning.
