The Conservative Convention to-day nominated
Robert r. Withers, Of Lynchburg, for Governors

Attorney General; and Marmaduke Johnson, OF
Richmond. for Congressman at large. The vote for

withers and Walker eligible to office under the
Reconstruction acts Of Congress, but not under the
test oath OF the new constitution. Thomas B.
Bocock, John B. Baldwin, Fayette McMullen,
George Blow and Thomas s. Flournoy
were appointed delegates at large to the
Democratic National Convention at New York. A
resolution was adopted thanking the naturalized
citizens for their heretofore unanimous cooperation
with the conservative party, and the convention ad-
tourned sine die. No platform was adopted. n
General Schofeld has appointed Francis Decordy
Mayor Of Norfolk vice the last appointee, who could
not take the test oath. f
Some Of the dissatisfied members of the Republi-
can Convention on have gotten up ticket with H. M.
Bourden, OF Norfolk, for Governor; DR.. Bayne Ia

B. B0ndin the present Attorney General, for that
position. The movement Is not likely to amount to
anything.

probable MURDER.

At about halfpast eleven O'Clock last night John
Sherman, OF No. 81 James street. accosted officer
Herman, OF the Fourth precinct and told him that
he thought his wife Mary was in dying condition
and that he did not know what was the matter with
her. The oficer went into the house and found the
woman lying on the floor dead and with very sus-
picious looking wound near the left eye.
The body of the woman was still warm,
showing thus that she was dead but short time.
The officer arrested Sherman and he was locked
up to await the result OF the Coroners inquest At
one O'Clock this morning the appearance OF the de-
ceased and the In which she lay was most mis-
cradle. The tenement portion OF the building Is
reached through an alieyway not more than three
feet wide and up flight Of wooden steps erected ae
the back of the house. The deceased was stretcned
on miserable looking bed on the oor In one corner
of scantily furnished room and surrounded by dele
cations from the females Of the neighbOrhOod These
latter were unanimous In their assertions that
Mrs. Sherman was woman OF exceed
ingly Incorporate habits and that her hns-
band was quiet. Industrious man. Some SAID thas
early in the evening Sherman was looking Tor MS
wife and complained that he could not get into me-
room, and others said that during the evening they
heard some quarrelng between the parties but none
OF them knew Of the death until informed by omcer
Herman. The face Of the deceased was somewnas
bloated, the left eye purple and swollen; ana the
wound above mentioned semi-circular In shape and
located lust between the temple and the eyeball.
No instrument Of any kind with which such q Wound
could be inflicted was discovered by the omcer whe
