The EcIPsE An unusual deglee of 10
terest awaits the coming of the total eclipse
of the sun, on the 7th inst. No total
eclipse of the SUI has been visible in this
portion of the country siuce 1884, and this
will be the last in the present century. The
moons shadow first strikes the earth at
sunrise on the Pacific Ocean, east ofJapan,
and first becomes total in Siberia; crosses
Behring's Straits and reaches Alaska at
noon. The line of the total now runs
southeasterly, and enters the states near
the origin of Milk River; thence through
the southwest corner of Minnesota, cutting
diagonally through Iowa, crossing the .uis
sissippi near Burlington, going down
through Louisville, KY, and entering the
Atlantic just north of Beaufort, n. g., and
ending at sunset in the ocean.
The eclipse will begin at Milwaukee at
4:0l P. NJ; the middle will occur at $500,
and it will end at G02 P. NJ. As there will
be but a slight variation in the time at
Manitowoc from the above, it is to be ex-
pected that about four clock on next Sat
urday afternoon, our citizens will he ready
with their smoked glasses.

ride out in the country, and it seems
that they had been informed that he had

somehow managed to administer some
chloroform to him, and then robbed him of
all but nineteen dollars of the money. Such

POWER OF REMOVAL.

We publish elsewhere communication
in regard to a decision rendered by Chan
cellor Jno. W. Harris, at Somerville, some
months ago. This learned opinion was
never published in any of the daily
papers of the State, although it is more
comprehensive in some respects than the
opinion of the Supreme Court rendered
at Brownsville. The article alluded to is
written by gentleman whose uttterances
are worthy of respect and attention. The
main points of the opinion by Judge
Harris are given, and we may find room
to publish it in few days entire. Accor-
ding to this order, Mr.. Jas. D. Davis, the
original Registrar of this county, is still
authorized to fill the place as such. In
this view of the case, Williams, whs holds
two offices--both daily-is a trespasser,
with no right to the office, and the singu-
lar spectacle is presented in the Williams
Boughner case now in the Supreme Court
of one trespasser, without right or title
going into court of equity and asking
the aid of the court to restrain and enjoin
another trespasser, or would'be tres
passer, frem interference with the office.
If Davis is the Registrar. then Chancel-
lor Smith should have refused to entertain
the case of Williams against Boughner,

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

From our full dispatches to-day it will
be seen that the liberal wing Of the Rad
ical party, headed by Walker, has carried
the day, and that the grand old State is
in q great measure redeemed from the
most Infamous slavery ever known to the
world. The Constitution, with its OBJ
iectionable features expurgsted, has
been adopted by an overwhelming
majority. There were two parties in
Virginia just as in Tennessee. The
extreme Radicals of the Stokes order

the immortal Fourth as it looked in the

seen such arduous services for several

battle-scarred veterans will go home to

shed any human gore. Some of them
may have bled at the nose, but they
meant no harm by that, and should not
be held accountable. They cost the State

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, July Z. The election
passed off quietly yesterday. After night
fall the streets resounded with cheers for
Walker. A meeting Of Walker men was
held, and it was addressed by colored
men and several white men, including
Hunnicut. Prominent Walker men claim
the State by thirty thousand majority,
and decisive majority in both branches
Of the Legislature. Prominent Wells
men claim that they have decided ma
jority in the State, but give no figures.
Nearly every telegram received here by
either side shows big gains for Walker,
and serious split in the colored vote,
which was claimed would be cast solid
for Wells.
The heaviest detection of blacks from
the Wells ticket is in the south.side coun-
ties, where the Walker men ran several
colored men for the Legislature. In
Charlotte, very strong colored county,
four hundred blacks voted for Walker.
Up to midnight kilograms were received
which announced that Walker had car
ried the following counties: Bedford, by
1000 majority; Augusta, by 300; Abe
marie, by 300; CuIpepper, by 200; Wash
ington, by 100; Smith, by 100; Louis,
and all the white counties west Of the
mountains. Wells carried Petersburg,
by 100 majority; Greenville, BY 300; and
Chesterfield, Holton, Ray, Charlotte and
Halifax.
The Congressional candidates elected
as far as heard from, are: Porter, WellI
man, in this District; Booker, q Walker
man, in Spottsylvania District; Norton
celored, in York District, and Mckenzie
in the Alexandria District In very few
counties have the blacks polled thei

DIVORCE IN NASHVILLE.
The Wife of an Alderman Sues for a
Divorce and Obtains IL.

Nashville has been favored with that
rare social blessing. divorce case. The
Union and american of the 4th instant,
says:
"The suit was brought by Mary Coyle,
wife of Pat Coyle, the Alderman from
the Ninth Ward. A large number Of
witnesses were examined, and the evil
dence against the Alderman was conclu-
sive, and decree was yesterday rendered
by the Chancellor granting the divorce.
The opinion of the Chancellor was short
and to the point, embracing the main
points in the testimony.
His Honor stated that complainant and
defendant were married in this county in
the year 1865, and have one infant child.
That defendant has at divers times made
accusations of unchastity against his
wife, using toward her, in her presence
and othors, the foulest and most oppro-
brious epithets, without cause or reason
therefor. That frequently, and during
the whole course of their married life at
intervals, he has, in the most abusive,
vulgar and obscene language, indicative
of entire absence of respect for the char
acter or presence of his wife, without
cause, maligned and tradueod her. That
he has frequently stricken her with blows
inflicted by his hands and stick. That
he has exposed her person to other per-
sons, either intentionally or accidentally,
leaving doubtful with which motive ID was
done and if the latter, under such cir
cumstanoes as manifested disregard for
her, and criminal negligence as to his
manner of using her. That he is in the
habit of using pistol and gun. and
firing the same when enraged, eitherl at
his wife, or in such manner as to leave
it doubtful whether be fred at her or not,
and if not fred at her, were used as
means of alarm, producing great mental
anxiety and torture, driving her from
her house, rendering her condition one of
alarm and dread. That the defendant
did most Of these things while In state
of voluntary drunkenness and debauch,
which is no sufficient excuse for his con-
dition.
For these causes, said the Chancellor,
l decree q divorce, dissolving the bands
of matrimony between them, reserving
the cause 60 far as it relates to the child,
which | leave for the present in the
possession and under the control of the
mother), and should the father and
mother fail to agree on terms upon which
he may visit it, the court will make the
terms hereafter, and will decree its pos
session and control, according to the
inertia Of the parents.
