More Trouble on the Eastern Shore.

More Trouble on the Eastern Shore.
The Norfolk Journal of Saturday says.
A gentleman arrived il this city yes
terday evening from Drummontown
bringing the news of serious riot at that
place. From what we can learn, there
was collision between the whites and
negroes, and firearms were brought in use.
Two persons were killed-ene white and
one negro-and three wounded
DIR. Watson, who lives within a few
miles of the lasts house, gives US the
following particulars:
1t being court day, there was large
assem- blage, when there arose dispute
between thewhites and bla cks. Pistols
were drawn and used, when the crowd,
the blacks largely predominating, COM
menced the fire. The whites retaliated,
when they were almost overpowered.
During the melee the LiIeston Hotel
was fred, and the adjoining property, a
dwelling and store, belonging to the
Palmer estate, consumed.
Another house was fired, but put out
before it communicated to TIE buildings
IN the row, thus preventing the destruction
of half of the town.
When our informant left there was
excitement in the town

INEQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.
Read these Advertisements before you Insure.
EQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.

Reasons why every one should insure in the
Equality Life Insurance Company of Virginia:
First. 1t is more liberal 20 the insurers than
any other company, and will eventually become
purely mutual, and belong to the insurers.
Second. 1t 'circuates its money amongst its
patrons, who are the insurers. Consequently
they are continually getting the benefit of the
rapid Accommodations Of the Company, the money
being invested by the Board of Directors amongst
the insurers Therefore the insurers are build
ing up an institution peculiarly their own, and
conducted for their benefit.
Third. The loans in this Company are as liberal
as other companies, who declare dividen ds at the
end Of the second third, and fourth years; but
this Company at the end of the first and every
year. Thereby the insurer saEes several years
interest On his loans by insuring in this Company
and he never looses his money if he ever pays up
for ONE W Mole YEAR, whereas in other com
panies he has to remain insurer for several
years, or he looses all the money he has paid.
Let the people of Virginia take plain, com
mon sense view Of the subject, and see that it is
to their interest to keep the money here where
they have no restrictions scarcely on their poll
cies, and can get the use OF the money they have
been heretofore sending out Of the State.

Attorney General Hoar's Opinion SEM
TO General Canby-No Test-Oath Re.

Attorney General Hoar'S Opinion Sent
TO General Canby-No Test-Oath Re-
quired-Walker's InstaIiatiO
WASHINGTON, September 3. Attorney
General Hoar's opinion that the test-oath
is not required by the members of the
Virginia Legislature by the reconstruction
acts of Congress. and that there is no
authority therein for its exaction, has been
sent to General Candy.
1t is understood here that General
Candy will very shortly issue his proc
lamation for the converting of the Legis-
lature, and this involves the Inauguration
of the Lieutenant Governor, and, as a
corollary, that Of Governor Walker.
SECOND DESPATCH
WASHINGTON. September 8 The War
Department yesterday received from At
torney General Hoar his opinion relative
to the status Of the Virginia Legislature.
He transmitted the same to General Candy
for his information and guidance, and it
depends upon that officer to make the full
text public. The Attorney General says
that the Legislature must as pre- requisite
submit the constitution and their action
thereon to Congress for approval In
this the test-oath will not be required. If
the constitution and the action of the
Legislature be approved by Congress, the
Legislature then becomes the Legislature
of the State of Virginia, and the provisions
Of the constitution fixing the qualifications
of the members of the Legislature necessa-
rily prevail. The requirements of the
reconstruction acts being thus superseded
50 far as Virginia is concerned. Before
the approval by Congress, Virginia not
being in all respects State of the Union
the Legislature as provisional body can
not pass laws without its members taking
the test oath. The reconstruction acts
require the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States before the State can be adj
mltted to representation in Congress.

re- Wepublish in this issue m ab-
stract of the opinion of Attorney Gen.
Hoar in relation to the test oath. The
papers of the State generally look upon
this as a termination of our political trou.
bles. 1t may be so, but we confess that
we are not so sanguine. 1t is supposed
that the Legislature will assemble about
the 18th Of October, when the new State
officers will be installed.

Death OF Gen. Phil. kcarncy.

March l0.-We are informed by promi-
nent lawyer of this city that while sojourn-
ing in Amboy last night he passed a pleasant
hour in company with former rebel officer,
who was attached to Stonewall Jackson's
division of the Confederate army during the
war, aud who related an interesting remin-
iscence of the death of General Kearney of
which sad event he was an eyewitness
The gallant Kearney' he said "received his
death wound from a private under my COM
mand and when he fell from his horse l
hastened, with many Others to the point
where he lay, not supposing that his wound
was mortal one just as we reached his
body, however, bis limbs gave one convulslve
Quiyer and then all was over. Seeing that
he was Major General, word was sent to
headquarters to that effect and General
Jackson coming to the spot Immediately
gave one glance at the dead officers features,
and exclaimed, "My God, boys, do you know
who you have killed? You have shot the
most gallant officer in the United States
army. This is Phil. Kearrey, who lost his
arm in the Mexican war;" He then invouu
tariIy lifted his hat, every officer in the grouI
| followed his example. and for moment 1
reverential silence was observed by all. Sub
sequently the body of the dead soldier wa
placed upon two boards, and when being re
moved to headquarters, was followed by Gen
eral Jackson, General Ewell aud other off
GERS, while a regimental band preceded
playing dead march,
