WEALTH AND.PovERTY.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg express" furnishes that
paper with the following news from
Richmond.
"Mueh ado is made over a wedding
about to take place in fashionable cir
cles here. A young man of acknow-
lodged wealth and superior education,
being an A. M. graduate Of one of the
first colleges in the State, is about to
lead to the Hymenial altar young girl
ofgood character. rare beauty, and much
amiability. She is poor, and supports
herself and an aged mother by her nee
die alone. The young man was offered,
am told, S25, 900 by millionaire uncle
If he would break the engagement. He
declared he would not falsify his word
and lose such treasure for $25, 900, 900.
Finding him immoyable, the parents
have determined that he wedding shall
take place at the palatial residence OF
the groom, instead of the humble cot OF
the bride. An early.day has been fixed
upon for the nuptuals, the invitation
cards are now being engraved in Phila-
delphia, and band of music has bee n
engaged for the occasion. But the best
feature of all is that the plain and hum
BILE bride received an anonymous note
day before yesterday, which, upon be-
ing opened, revealed check for $1,000,
payable to bearer This, of course, is
for the purchase of the bridal tr0uSSedui

THE EFFECT OF A BAD PRECR DENT.

Last yeara radical G congress declared
Mr.. j. L. Young conservative MEM
Der from Kentucky, ''ineligible," and
placed in his seat MIR. Samuel Mckee,
radical, who had received the next high
est number ofvotes. Not radical pa
per denounced this as an Innovation, or
outrage, or even dangerous precedent.
All radicals acquiesced in it because it
gave them one more vote in Congress.
Man Is an initiative animal, and We saw
that the precedent then established
would soon be followed by other and
lesser legislative bodies. Our expecta-
ton is realized. The Georgia Legis-
iature has declared a batch of colored
members "ineligible." and has installed
in their places the white men who re-
ceivcd the next highest number of votes
The case is perfectly similar to that o (
Mckee and Young. If Congress act
ed rightly-which we deny-so has the
Georgia Legislature. But mark how
differently the radical papers look up
on the two deeds. The leading radical
journal of this city was voiceless over
the Kentucky wrong. finds its tongue
now, and calls the Georgia imitation of
it an s'ontrage." This will be without
doubt, the general tone of the radical
press throughout the country upon the
question showing in bold relief to all
intelligent observers the bigotry and I'M
trustworthiness of partizan editors

b. JOHNSON BARBOUR.

If the public will ignore the great
abilities of this gentleman and forego
the benefit of his services in the public
counscls, that is no reason why he
should allow his opulent leisure to run
to waste. He is tree which ought to
bear lasting fruit. Few minds IN the
State are more capacious, fewer still
are SO variously and elegantly cultured.
That he should die and make no sign
is out of the question. The State for
bids it. Literature of the highest sort,
if he but knew it, is his forte. The
time is propitious for able works.
Thirty thousand copies ofMr. STErHENs's
War between the States were sold with
in the first two months after its publica-
ton.

INSTALLATION OF ID. F. MAURY AS PRO
FESs0R OF PHYSICS,

On the morning of September 10 ex-
Commodore NJ. F. Mauiy, formerly of
the United Stat es Navy, was formally
Installed as Professor of Physics of the
Virginia Military Institute. The cere-
mony took place in front of General
Francis III. Smiths quarters, in pre-
sence of the corpse of Washington Col
lege and that of the Military Institute.
to which the accomplished mariner has
been just appointed to fill a professors
chair. General Smith pronounced a
glowing eulogy on the career, attain
ments and labors of the newly appoint
ed professor, and alluded to the distinc-
tions which he had received from the
potentates and distinguished men of
European nations as Acknowledgements
of his superior talents. Gov. fletcher
presented the commission and address,
ed a few brief sentences on the impor-
lance of the position to which the ex-
Commodore had been elevated. These
concluded, Professor Maury delivered
an extended commentary on the sci
ences, after which the ceremonies were
brought to close.

B. & 0. R. R.-ITs FUTURE.

Mr.. GARRETT, in late communion
ton to the Directors of his road, said:
"But, gentlemen, there is such flu
ture before the Baltimore and Ohio
Company and the city of Baltimore
such present, indeed-pressing its
vast business upon the road, that it be-
comes wise and proper to anticipate a
state of things that may require not q
double track only for the approaches to
Baltimore, but probably four tracks--
and that contingency is the more proba-
BILE with the rapidly improving rela-
tions of the Company through the Or
ange. Alexandria and Manassas road,
and through the Valley ofVirginia with
the South; through the Parkersburg
Branch with the Southwest; through
the Central Ohio With the Central West;
through The Pitts!urg and Connellsville
road with the Northwest, and through
the Washington County road with the
Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania.
1t will be seen that he places the Or
ange, Alexandria and Manassas Road
first on the list, as a more important
feeder to Baltimore than the Central
Ohio or the Pitssburg and Connellsville
road.

ANOTHER NEGRO OUTRAGE.

A Thompson, Ga, correspondent of
the Augusta Chronicle writes as follows
und ar date 9Th instant =, "a most di l.
bolical and bloody murder was commit
ted above this place (abo i one mile)
about ii O'Clock this morning. A me-
gro who was employed at the steam
mil, OF Stovall & Wilson. Killed Messrs.
Lowe and FORMER, employees at said
mill, and both white men, cutting and
mangling them in most horrible man.
ner. H. (after committing the deed)
fled, with axe in hand and pursued by
some ofthe negro hands (about the mill)
and the Georgia railroad hands; one of
the latter shot and captured him. He
was hung by the negroes. A good ma
ny while men were present; the negroes
volunteered their services. There was
no provocation: The negroes who were
present at the time all testify that there
had been no words passed between the
parties, and that the murder was COM
mitted in cold blood"

NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
Price Reduced.

From every quarter, friends write us
that systematic, determined efforts are
making, and with considerable success,
to push Into circulation journals which
sympathized with the Rebellion during
its progress, and are new moved and
inspired by its fundamental principle
that Liberty is rightfully the birthright.
not of all men, but of White men, that
Blacks have no rights which Whites are
bound to respect. A desperate effort is
preparing to give ascendancy to this
Reactionary principle in our Govern
ment through the triumph Of Its cham
pions In the choice of our next Presi-
dent and Congress.
The journals thus crowded into circu-
lation by Offering them at cost are
neither so large or so varied in their
contents, nor produced at anything like
the cost of Tue TRIBUNE. They are po-
litical merely or mainly, while our col
nmns are more generally filed with
Foreign Correspondence, Farming In
telllnence, Literature. &C., &c.
Nevertheless, in Difference to the re-
presentations of our friends, and in
view OF the momentOds issues of our
Presidential struggle now opening, we
have resolved to offer tbs WEEKLY TRl-
BUNE tor 1868 to clubs of fifty or more
for One Dollar per aa,l1m: That Is to say:
for fifty dollars we will send TO one dd-

This offer shall remain open for the
entire month of January.
| No newspaper so large and complete
as The WEEKLY TRIBUNE was ever before
offered at SO low price. Even when
our Currency was at par with gold, no
such paper bat The TRIBUNE was offered
at that price; and The TRIBUNE then
cost us far less than it now does. But
the next election must be carried for
Liberty and Loyalty, and we mean TO
do our part toward effecting that con-
summation.
| We believe that the circulation of
half million copies of The WEEKLY

that such are supplied with TnE WEEK

THE WICKEDEsT MAN.

Another prayer meeting was held at
John Aliens dance house in New York
on Sunday and was largely attended.
The New York Tribune says:
''The repentant dance house proprie-
tor was the cynosure of curious specta-
tors. He manifested no extraordinary
spiritual emotion beyond what he has
already shown. He preserved quiet
demeanor throughout, different from
the conduct which he is reported to have
exhibited at the meeting of last Satur-
day. 1t was then observed that he was
partially inebriated, and considerably
Supplied from drinking too much of a
potent beverage, This failing of AL
lens has been the occasion Of comment
on the part of his Christian friends
They represent that il is the only one
of Aliens old habits which he has not
entirely over come"

ELECTIONS IN MAINE.

New YORK, September I4.-10 P. NJ.
The vote in Maine is much heavier
IN IN that cast in the Congressional cleo
tion of 1866; in fact it may be the heav-
lest ever cast i'm that State. Up to the
present time about twenty towns have
been heard from which shows the Dem
ocratic gain to be larger than that of
the Radicals. The Radical majority
from The Worlds estimate, will be from
1900 to 10000. The Radical majority
in 1856 was ~ $50.
IL 10 p M.-Returns from two hum
dred out of the four hundred towns in
the State show that the Radical major
ity will not exceed IL 900 to 10000. The
Democratic gain is much the largest, as
compared with the vote polled in 1866,
and will be from 10000 to 1000; the vote
of that year being the last full vote poll
ed in the State. The Tribune claims
10000 majority. A World special da-
ted Portland, IL P. NJ. says The Demo-
Gratis claim III the towns already sent
q gain of four thousand over that of
1866, and the same ratio of gains in the
remainder ofthe townships may reduce
the Radical majority to IA, 900.
A. MA special dispatch to the
World dated 1880 o'clock this morning,
says all points having photographic COM
munication with Portland have been
heard from. but many remote districts,
certain to cast Democratic majorities,
are yet TO be received. 1t is impossible
at this time at Democratic headquarters,
with the figures at hand, to make a cor
rect estimate ; but all indications are
that the Radical majority will be about
1900
1:30 A. MA special dispatch to the
World from Bangor, dated one o'clock
this morning, says: "There is great re-
jcicing among the Democrats at having
reduced the Radical majority since the
last yete OF 1866. The Radicals, on the
other hand, felt sanguinc of carrying the
State by $4,000 majority"

THE STAY LAW.

The Stay-law of Virginia expires by
limitation on the LIST of next January.
The Original act, passed March End. 49,
Sc, was operative until January 1st, 49,
6S, but on March I'd, 1867, another act
was passed, amenda:ory to the first, and
extending the operation to January LIST
1869.
Unless therefore the Military author
tiles OF the State shall undertake to set
the law aside the day of grace will ex-
pire with the closing of the year. We
are under the impression that a very
decided pressure will be brought to
bear on Gen. Stoneman, and that he
will probably yield to the cry that reach
es him from the indebted, in view of the
fact that the meeting of the Virginia
Legislature was interdicted by the Mil
itary, and that the sought forreliefmight
have been obtained at their hands by
an extension of the Stay Law.

the only earthquakes of modern times
which compare in special interest with
the late terrible tragedy in South A
merica, are those of Lisbon, in 1865,
and the kingdom of Naples, in 1885,
The loss of life in the latter, according
to some statements, made at the time,
was from $4,000 to 10000. The destruc-
ton, however, was not as instantene-
ous as in the late calamity. In that of
Lisbon, however, 10000 persons are be-
lieved to have p ,rished in six minutes.
