The ILLUSTRATED NEws.--The Ece-
nt'g Neacs has become an illustrated paper,
and contains in its Saturday edition, pic
ture of " mixed free-schools"- is. it is
a representation of what its editor supposes
will be some of these days. sa
Wade still has a weakness for illustrated
papers, caused by his long connection with
one during the war. The first attempt of
the Ne.os is q great improvement on the il
Illustrations published during the war. but
nothing SO truthful. Harper and Frank
Leslie must look out now that such COM
petitor has entered the field.
The Neacs' first illustration is by Thos.
Mast, and reflects credit upon the artist.

EVERYBODY in Richmond should vote
the Republican ticket. Men of property
ought, because the men on our ticket are
men of property themselves, and what
would hurt them would bear equally upon
themselves. Men of no property ought,
because our men are liberal and favor mea-
sures ofrelef for the poor. The candidates
of Democracy own but little, if any proper
ty, and may do you harm which would not
affect them.
Several of them are Know Nothings, and
have been charged with cruel and vndic-
tive speeches against foreign-born citizens.
Know Nothing once--Know Nothing al
ways; and if you entrust power to them
and the opportunity ever occurs they will
not hesitate to persecute foreigners.
Come up, then. native and foreigner,
white and black, and vote for the candi-
dates of the Republican party, who are
known to be gentlemen of high character
and standing and of liberal and enlarged
views.
Let the poor man consider well before he
supports the ticket of aristocracy.

No matter how humble the individual or
how unpretending the position occupied,
the performance Of solemn duty brings
quiet and repose. 1t invites sleep-sweet
sleep that brings rest to the weary.
Every sensible man, free from prejudice,
knows it is his duty to vote against the
branch concern of Tweed, Hoffman, Swe-
ney, & Co. 70 vote for Democracy is to
endorse the "head office" To do SO is to
rob yourself, your children, and the State
of her prosperity.
To vote the Republican ticket is to quiet
your conscience, and elevate to power men
who will guard your dearest rights, and
the interests of your State.
Be advised by us then, for once. Get
up early, catch the Democratic worm, mash
his ugly head, vote at least once, vote right,
tell your neighbor to do likewise, hunt up
the doubling, assist the lame to the polls,
ask the sick to take an extra dose of ply
sic, (be sure it is not Democratic, for that
would be nauseating) and let you drive him
in carriage to the polls ; in short, see that
no man who can vote stays away. Do your
VIII OLE DUTY tomorrow, and you will
sleep as You have never slept before.

THE Republicans of Chesterfield have

The Republicans of Chesterfield have
already had erected for them, by Demo-
cracy, a monument as enduring as the ex-
istence of that party. The horrid thing
stands with its bloody arms stretching
forth ready to grasp the hands of it victims,
while its extended claws seem switching
to fetter the feet of the poor and helpless.
He who is embraced by it, need stand
waiting but Tor a moment to hear the
bloody lash as it whines through the air,
and cuts through the flesh Of its victim.
This is the cruel, barbarous and savage
whipping post Of Democracy. It is no
fancy picture, but living reality. There
it stands disgrace to the present enlight-
ened age, and yet it is the child of Vir-
ginia chivalry. The scoundrel Tweed,
With his stolen plunder, helped to pay for
tfe erection of these internal machines in
Virginia. There they will stand as long
as Democracy reigns in Virginia. If there
is dissatisfied Republican in Chesterfield
who doubts the propriety of casting his fal-
lot in favor of the Republican candidates,
let him remember this instrument of torture,
let him behold in it the fiendishness of De-
mocracy, and then say, if he can, stand
back. Not for this alone, but because the
ticket is good one, is reason sufficient for
it to receive the support of every Republi-
can. He who can lay aside his personal
preferences and march straight up to duty
is as great hero as the victor Of many bat
ties.
Let every man in Chesterfield, Richmond
and elsewhere do his duty tomorrow, as it
is but another struggle between slavery and
freedom.

THE STARS AND STRIPES are
glad to see the Conservatives at their
mass meetings making such profusc dis
play of the Old Flag. Their band wagons
and the horses heads, we have observed,
are decorated with the glorious Stars and
Stripes, and their speakers stands are
wrapped with the national banner. 1t is a
sign that they are discarding their old
secession sentiments, and an evidence that
they wish to be loyal citizens. We con-
gratulate James r. Fisher, President of the
Columbian Club of the Order of United
Americans, on this change of sentiment to-
wards the Old Flag-long may it wave; it
is good for sore eyes to see it carried about
by ex-Confederates.

ALLEGED CONTEMPT OF COURT
The case Of Ex-Governor III. III. Wells VS..
the Commonwealth, was commenced by
Judge Green, on Saturday, before the
Court of Appeals, and was resumed to-day.
This is likely to be regarded as one of the
celebrated causes. 1t will be remembered
that Judge Wingfeld imprisoned Thorp II.
Nance, for alleged contempt of court, for
proceeding III bankruptcy and compelling
his creditors to settle their claims and pri-
ority in that court, rather than in the State
court. Nance was not only imprisoned, but
was ordered to stand committed until he
discontinued his case in the United States
Court. He was, however, subsequently
released, and by the decision of Judge
Rives, Of the United States district Court of
the Western district, the whole proceeding
before Judge Wingfeld's court was held to
be null and void.
In addition to the proceeding against
Nance, Judge Winglield fined Gov. Wells
for contempt of court in advising Nance to
proceed in the United States Court, but in
stead of going to the Federal Court he has
chosen to appeal to the Supreme Court of
Appeals of the State, with view of deter
mining,n that tribunal whether such mon
strous outrage upon the rights of client and
counsel, can with iinpunity, be perpetrated
under State law and in State tribunals.

s.OPPOSITION TO FOREIGN CORPORA
TIONS.-


This was the tenor of r. I. Daniels
speech when he accepted the Conservative
nomination, and alluded to the triumph of
the Pennsylvania Central railroad over that
close corporation, the Fredericksburg rail-
road, of which Mr.. Daniel is counsel, to
the triumph of the same company over
Moncure Robinson, Commodore McCready
and their allies, who for years have inn
posed heavy burdens on the people of
Richmond, and tried to divert commerce
from their city to its great detriment. Our
candidates are in favor of foreign corpora
tions bringing their wealth and enterprise
into Virginia, and developing her immense
mineral and agricultural resources, and
giving employment to the mechanic and la
boring man. We want money here and
cheap freights. We want no Chinese poll
cy here, to build walls around old Virginia
and exclude foreigners with their money,
skill and energy. If Mr.. Daniel is the adj
vocate Of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad and Moncure Robin
sons Acqua Creek and Bay Line steamers,
and against the material interests of Rich
mond, the people here will not go with him;
they are not in favor of any such exclusive,
selfish, old fogy policy.

AN ENRAGED FATHER SEEKS HIS
FALLEN Failing to Find
Her, He Becomes Desperate and Atten,pts
10 Commit M,adT.-This morning about
IL o'clock, Thomas Carroll, an Irishman of
this city, entered the bar-room kept by
Isabella Rix, No. 2223 Main street, and
demanded to see his daughter, Rosa, who
for some time had been an occupant of the
house.
On being informed she had left the place,
Mr.. Carroll became so enraged that he
drew pistol and fired through door lead
ing into room occupied by several fe-
males, fortunately, intiieting no damage.
One Of them, Isabella Rix. fled into the
street, followed by Carroll, who fired upon
her, shooting her through the right arm.
But for her taking refuge in an adjoining
grocery she would, doubtless, have been
killed by the desperate father. After
wounding this woman, he fred several
shots at parties occupying windows in the
house. lie was arrested by citizens, and
delivered by them into the hands of the au-
thorities, and will, doubtless, be tried to-
morrow la 49, fH

BRANCH OFFICE TO lLLUMINATE.-

procession tonight, and will send up a
number of sky-rockets, besides "busting a
few cabbage-heads."
This concern 1--WE mean the head-centre)
has recently met with a mishap, and al
though it was found impossible, in the
last Legislature to discover the big thieves
of the branch office, the people of the
State will condemn, by their votes to-mor-
row, all their aids and abettors, by dis
carding Boss Tweed's tools, and replacing
them with honest and capable men.
