of the State OF Virginia, being ex-
prcssly disqualified and prohibited from
exercising the duties of that office by
the fourteenth article of the Constitution
Of the United States. For cause of this
disqualification the petitioner alleges that
Judge Sheifey, having taken an oath to
support the Constitution Of the United
States on the 22l of December, l849, MS q
member of the House of Delegates, after
wards engaged in rebellion against the
General Government, and rendered aid and
comfort to its enemies also, that having
taken the oath referred to, also on or
about the I'd of December, 1861, took the
oath to support the Constitution Of the Con
fcierate States as member Of the House
of Delegates.
The petitioner therefore claims that ne
is held without due process OF law, against
the terms of the fifth article of the Constl-
tuition OF the United States. The document
is witnessed by Lieutenant S. X. Mahon, of
the Federal army, and J. W. Jordan, of the
Freedmen's Bureau.

still the price yesterday on Change was
3l.07h for old, against 1926 same time
last year.
The same causes that have operated to
reduce the price Of wheat in the West no
doubt have acted on corn.
In Chicago on the 26th ultimo the stock
of corn in store was 6l3,09S bushels, against
433 ,G3i bushels same day last year.
Speaking of the corn crop in the United
States, the report OF the Agricultural Bu-
reau for October says that considerable
injury from frost to the corn crop is reported
in northern Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and
more northern latitudes and it goes on to
say that "the total product will not be what
was hoped for in the early season, or what
is needed in the country with its rapidly
increasing population, but still will be q
somewhat larger quantity than that Of last
year, which was o season peculiarly avcrsc
10 corn production"
In Baltimore on the 81 instant offerings
Of corn were so bushels white and 4 4,2TO
bushels yellow. Old white sold at 81 to
s .03 and 81 .05, new white at GOc. to s5c.,
old yellow at Sl.0212 TO $l.O5, and new at

MosT VALUABLE INVENTION. The
number of sufferers from hernia is so great
that it would astonish the world were it
made public. It is one Of the attilctions
that do not meet observation, and with re-
gard to which there is often much false de-
licacy, leading to pain and danger, IN an
effort to avoid complaint. SO widespread
malady should not be so regarded, but
every one who suffers from it ought at as
early stage rs possible to get the best ad-
vice on the subject.
Captain Samuel Ayres, n well-known and
highly respectable citizen Of Richmond,
who has been for many years a sufferer,
has invented truss which surpasses all
vet introduced for the relief it affords and
the ease with which it is worn. 1t gives
the most efficient support, and occasions no
inconvenience. Persons who have resorted
to it after using the old-fashioned steel
spring trusses express themselves as over
joyed at the change. They experience
relief almost magical. Captain Ayress
truss is called the "non-oppressive, self
adjusting, perfect-cure hernia truss" lie
has the highest testimonials to its efficacy.
Although in men of advanced age it may
not effect cure, it gives perfect relief, and
it has entirely cured young men and cases
Of still more youthful class.
One has but to examine this apparatus,
with movable and elastic straps and new
form Of pad, to be at once struck with Its
simplicity and utility. Nothing has yet
been produced which can at all compare
with it, and it may be hailed as a great
blessing to large class of sufferers.

REVENUE STAMPS FOR WHIsKEY AND To-
BACC0.-The first instalment of tobacco
stamps were received by General Mulford,
internal revenue collector for this district,
on yesterday. They are Of the sixteen
cent series. Others viii be forthcoming in
few days. In the mean time, manufactu-
rers using this class Of stamps can get o
supply from the collector.
The collector has also received new whis-
key stamps. They are Of the denonina-
tions OF forty, fifty, and sixty gallons, with
coupons attached running from one to nine
gallons, thus enabling the inspector to put
on the barrel the printed stamp of any
number of gallons from forty to sixty-nine.
Only twenty stamps have yet been used,
and they were from the forty gallon book.
Orders for large number of others were
in the Office yesterday. These stamps are
pasted on the barrel, and being made in
part of sympathetic paper, it is impossible
10 erase or counterfeit them.

Il. Il. Shackletcrd, Esq, Neeo Hdven, Conn.,:
Sir,-The false and mendacious repre-
sentations Of me made by General Judson
Fitzpatrick, of New Haven, on the goth in
stant, to which you call my attention, is not
the first in which he has INDUCED since his
appearance on the hustings in this canvass.
| understand he freely employed his crimi-
nal capacity for ribald invention IN all OF
the gpeeches he has made since his return TO
this country, and that have been the OBJ
iective point Of many OF his unprlnclpled
and indecent libels. The northern masses
have been so prone to misunderstood any
4anpearance that I have made in the present
campaign that I have been content hereto
fore to forego any notice of General hll-
natrick's inventions with reference to my
self. and to trust that some future and more
aupnicious time would afford me an oppor-
tunity of stripping the impostor and OF ex-
posing him-the base counterfeit he Is
to the contempt of all just and talr- mlndeu
people. My forbearance, however, Is con-
strued by him rs a license 10 additional ana
more slanderous detraction, and | am con-
strained to notice his New Haven speech as
il appeared in the Register of October Il,
1868. In that speech he is reported as
saving that " Forrest had nailed negroes to
fences, set fire TO the fences, and burned the
neoroes to death." This charge Is but the
natural offspring of Kilpatrick's common
and merited fame MS an unprincipled ana
easy liar. II is enough for me to saymln In
which | feel | will be believed and sns-
tained by every chivalric officer and soldier
Of the Federal army-that what he has said
of me in the speech referred to is the cui,
m;nation of slanderous falsehood, rendered
the more odious that it is deliberately
forged for effect upon the unthinklng anu
too eonfding portion of the people OF Tue
North, whose votes he intends to steal py

season Just over in Virginia has been the
most pleasant of all since the war. The
number of visitors was large, and there
seemed to more geniality and gsiety. Next
year, it is predicted, the scene will be
brighter still, as it is hoped the South will
then have emerged still further from her
troubles. We do not see why the classic
watering places of the Old Dominion should
not be the summer gathering places for the
whole South Galveston (1eras) Neeos.

CoRN.-It is no longer saying ut the
Corn Exchange, as it was few days ago,
No corn sold %: for yesterday sales were
quite active at sl.O715 for prime white,
old and S5c. for good new.
Early in the season very ertravagant e1-
pectations were entertained respecting this
seasons corn crop in Virginia, and NE en-
dcayored in an article on the subject pub
lished in our issue Of September 18th to
show that those expectations would not be
.tmly realized. Since then we have seen
nothing to induce Us to change our opinion.
The first new corn appeared on Change
last year on the 4th Of November, and sold
on private terms. On the 9Th it sold at
size, and on the 9th ut 90c. The first
corn appeared on Change this year on Oc-
tobcr 18th, and sold at $l.22; prime white,

New PosroFF1cE Box.-An improved
postof1ice box for the receipt Of newspapers
as well as letters is now on exhibition at
the Postofice Department in Washington.
Mr.. J. w. Smith is the patentee. The open
ing of the box is eight by four inches-big
enough to receive the largest envelopes and
newspapers. This opening is covered by a
lid so contrived that when it is raised q
cylinder just below it revolves until SINH
lar opening is presented. The letter or
newspaper is then deposited, and falls on
the bottom Of this cylinder. When the lid
is shut down again, the cylinder revolves
until the opening is downward, when its
contents fall into the letter-box. OF course
whenever the lid is raised the turning of
the cylinder cuts off any communication
with the receptacle below, SO that while
packages can be deposited none can be alb
stracted. The letter-box bears upon its
front dial or clock face, with hands. The
carrier, when removing the contents OF the
box, sets the hands TO the hour when ne will
next call for the mall and thus every one
can see ut what hour the letters or papers
he deposits will be called for. r.

SHIPMENTS OF TOBACCO IN Bond
During the month Of October there were
about 100000 pounds Of tobacco shipped
in bond, on which the tax amounted to
1902 ,5O0.45. Add to this sum the amounts
for the preceding months Of this year, as
