A GRAND TIME IN ANTICIPATION -
The Virginia Singing Society have completed
arrangements to give a grand masquerade
ball at the Richmond theatre on the eve
ming of the Doth of January. In addition
to the stage platform the orchestra division
will be planked over, thus giving the entire

tuner have already been secured.
This affair promises to be grand in every
particular, and such an one as only our

who wish to participate have ample time to
complete all arrangements, and we trust
our citizens will unite in rendering the eve
ming Of the 10th of January such an one
as will not soon be forgotten.

MIsREPREsESTED.-Mr. S. G.. Bernard, delegate
elect for Franklin county, having been published
by the State Journal Radical, we are author
lied to say that the report is unfounded and
that he has no afiiliation to that party 4
We clip the above from the Lynchburg
Tuginia, of day before yesterday.
The STATE JOURNAL published a
letter from George w. Finney, of Frank
lin, who stated that Mr.. Bernard was a
Republican. Whenever question OF
doubt arises as to MANS politics, we be-
lieve he is worthless to both parties, and
that neither can expect to gain anything by
1aying claim to him.
We are entirely disinterested in the poll
tical sentiments of Mr.. Bernard, and pro-
phecy he will be of but little service to
either party with which he may ally HIM
self.

PUNISHED FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE ENFORCEMENT
AcT.-In the.United States Circuit court for this
district yesterday, occurred the first instance in
this State of n sentence under the act for the en-
forcement of the fifteenth amendment. The ac-
cused was DIR. Charles +. Gillou, n citizen OF
Ches terfield, who was charged in four cases with
preventing, hindering, and intimidating Samuel
Thompson, Moses Thompson, Randolph
Thweath and Joseph Drancn, negroes, from
exercising, according 10 their own judgment,
the right of suffrage at election held in
Matoaca township. Chesterfield county, on the
25th of May, 1871. The means of intimidation
alleged to have been used was q threat OF eject
ing the said negroes from their houses and lands
on the lands of the said Charles +. Gillou, and
OF refusing 10 continue or renew the contract of
labor existing between them and Dr. Gillou in
case theJ voted the Radical ticket.
DR.. Gillou pleaded guilty in all the cases ex
cept that of Joseph Branch, in which notie
prosequt was entered. In the case of Samuel
Thompson the court imposed upon the prisoner 4
Judgment was suspended We may remark that
DIR. Gillou is au honorable and high-toned gentle-
man, formerly an officer in the United States
navy, who hes since the war cast his fortune with
Virginia, and has invested largely in this State.
We take the above account OF this case
from the Dispatch, and while not doubling
the high character it gives DIR. Gillou, we
may remark that his former connection
with the United States navy should have
taught him the necessity of obeying the
laws of the government.
We have no fears that Judge Bond will
not deal justly with these gentlemen, who
persist in trampling under foot the laws of
the nation, and imagine the good effects of
the example made Of them will be to pre-
vent the repetition of such outrages against
the right of all men to vote as they please.

ALL GONE Who WN Repeat ?-That
barrel of apples, sent us by a Republican
friend, has been SO frequently raided upon,
that the bottom is now scarcely covered.
Who will be the next man to follow the
example of friend Frier, and send us from
one to thousand barrels? We generously
offer to pay the freight on all the apples
sent us, and promise that no Democrat
shall taste them, unless he be clever fell
low. Is this possible?

How DID 1T COME Our ?-Last right
about seven o'clock, at the corner of Main
and Seventh streets. we met a horse az
tached to an express wagon coming down
the hill. The equine's speed was too pre-
cipitate to be dgnified, or to admit of even
brief interview. In fact, he seemed to be
mad, and was running off. He kept the
middle of the street well, and while we
watched his retreating form, avoided all
collisions with other teams and vehicles.
We soon lost sight of the runaway, and we
have no sequel to this story.

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE SUPREME COURT OF APPEALS
Wednesday, November 22.--Booten VS..
Scheffer. This case was heard by this
court at Staunton last summer, and decided
here to-day. 1t comes up here upon an
appeal from the Circuit court of Augusta
county. The question involved is as to
the purchase and sale of the well-known
Virginia Hotel, in Staunton. Scheffer
bought one moiety of said property dur
ing the war for S42 900, Confederate money,
his contract giving him the privilege of pur-
chasing the other half if he should elect to
do so by certain time. Booten brought
suit for partition of the property, which
was resisted by Scheffer, who, in his an
swer to the bill, alleged that be had elected
to purchase the whole property, as he had
a right to do under his contract, and asked
for specific performance Of said contract.
The court below decided in favor of Scheffer,
and by its decree gave the whole property
to him.
This court reverses this decree, and re-
mands the case to the Circuit Court of Au-
gusta county for partition of the property
if it can be conveniently made, and for q
full and final settlement of all accounts be-
tween the parties. Judge Staples delivered

HEAVY FROST. The fall of frost last
night in the city was unusually heavy.
Urchins, who were out of bed early this

comes extinct.

THE SEwING-MACHINE BUSINESS -
OF the varied kinds of business carried on
in Richmond, we know of none more
profitable or pleasant than that of dealing
in sewing-machines. There are several
agencies here, and we believe every manu-
facture in the United States is represented.
All seem to be doing thriving business.
TO sell is to make profit but our readers
have not yet discovered the pleasant part of
the trade. Each of these establishments
employs one or more young ladies', while
the aim Of each seems to be, to see which
can secure the most beautiful, attractive,
and interesting of the sex, combining, of
course, industrial qualifications.
In the delivery Of machines the plan has
been adopted of sending an instructress to
the purchasers house, who is, of course, ac-
companied by gentleman to put it in posi-
ton. This, then, is the pleasant part of
the business, particularly as nice horse
and wagon, supplied with a handsome and
comfortable robe, is always furnished.
The sewing machine business has many
pleasant features about it, not usually
found connected with other business estab-
lishments.
We propose to make tour of the several
establishments in order to decide which of
them has the prettiest young lady engaged.
