The Consapnmmion Of Aaother Outrage.
Following the example of every COWede,-
ate judge in the State, with one single noble
exception, Judge Minor, of the Henrico
county court, has appointed lot Of bitter
Democrats to fill the offices in Tuckahoe
township, made vacant by recent decision
of his.
The election in that township was annulled
because of the failure of officers of election,
appointed by him, to do their duty.
Z BY this means the Republicans, who
were elected to fill all of the Offices in this
township, have been robbed Of them, and
bitter partizans of Democratic faith INSTALL
ed in their places. s.a x 81 Z,
Men of all creeds will award to Judge +.
j. Ribble, of Roanoke, the honor of being
the single exception where a case OF this
kind was decided in favor Of our party.
If there is any species Of Ku-Kluxisn
more bitter, than by judicial action, depri-
wing our men of their legal rights, we have
never seen it. The day Of retribution will
come in the fall, when the Republican who
fails to do his duty and turn out of office,
these partisans, will deserve the execratior
of every lover Of Justice. 80 4

RICHMOND VA, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY II. 1871

The telegraph brings to the Masons Of
Richmond this morning, the sad announce
ment of the death of one of their oldest and
most esteemed brethren, Emanuel Semon,
who for so many years filled the responsible
and honorable position of Grand Tiler to
the Grand Lodge of Virginia. Welded
to the institution of which he was so hon
orable member, his zeal was fervent to
the last, and the members of the fraternity
in the City of Brotherly Love, have eyinced
true appreciation of his worth by attend
ing his funeral to-day in body.
The Masons of ofRichmondwill undoubted-
ly, not only take immediate steps to place
upon perpetual record his many virtues,
but will send greetings to the members Of
her sister jurisdiction, for the respect paid
to one Of her highly honored sons. We
trust to see Spontaneous movement in this
direction, and from the many persons who
have already spoken to us on the subject,
we doubt not it will be the leading topic
in the coming meetings.
We have no particulars of the death Of
Mr.. Semon beyond the bare announcement
of his demise, and of his honorable intel-
ment by the Masons of Philadelphia to-day.

Democratic Meeting.-The grand cyclops
Of Democracy has called a meeting of the
State Central Committee of the Democratic
party of Virginia, to be held on the 20th of
this month. AT the same time meeting
of the Executive Committee Of he Repub-
lican party of the State will be held, to be
followed on the 2lst by meeting of the
State Central Committee of the Republican
party.
Without the slightest particle Of admira-
ton for the party Of moral ideas, we cannot
refrain from calling the attention Of Repub-
licans, to the harmony which always per-
yades their meetings, while ours are torn
by ranglings and dissensions. We have
the political strength to carry the State
we have the numbers, could we only unite
the leaders of the party. The State Cen
trail Committee Of our party possesses suf-
ficient affection for the party, and has the
will and determination to order closing
up of our ranks. No fears need be enter
tanned but that an effort in this direction
will be made. tits our only hope of sue
cess in the fall.
Let our members be governed by the
action of our political opponents, who
without principle to guide them have de-
feated us only by united action.

Injustice to the Detectives of Richmond
The following is from the Richmond cores
pondent of the New York World;
1T is said that the police detectives of Rich
mond are making all this bother because they
had no hand in tracing out and apprehendiug the
murderers, and therefore fingered no share of the
reward. The negroes will probably be hanged
on the 2Sth." sf
We have no idea who the correspondent
of the World is, but we feel satisfied he has
done great injustice to the detectives of this
city. Their business is to detect the perpe-
traitors of crime, and when done they ex-
pect to receive compensation for their SER
vices and not to interfere with the execution
of law which could not profit them. We
know many of them too well to believe any
such SANDER. To the Eeeni,sg Ne,cs and its
sense of justice in this case, we believe, is
due the action of the executive in postpon-
ing the execution of these men.
Scribblers may speculate upon many sub
iects without making such glaring reflec-
tions upon class of gentlemen like the pre-
sent detective force Of this city, and secure
more credit than the World's correspondent
| is likely to do in this case.

that in short time vessels drawing fifteen
feet of water could pass in and out OF our
harbor in safety.
To the kindness of the captain of the
Frank Somers are we indebted for a nice
lunch, and delicious treat of claret
punch and lemonade. The consequences of
our over indulgence might have proved a
serious impediment to correct report OF
our trip, but for the fact that we were
handsomely shielded from temptation by a
gentleman of the party, who unselfishly
preferred to suffer himself, rather than see
us do so.
The commercial men of Richmond may
congratulate themselves that this great en-
terprise is in the hands Of a gentleman of
ability and experience, and whose modesty
bade him request us to leave him unnamed.
We would most chcerfully have complied,
but as we started with the determination to
note everything of merit we saw, we must
be pardoned for paying just tribute to
ability.
We hope to see this great work COM
pleted at an early day, and trust that when
James river shall have been cleared, to give
depth of fifteen feet, the business men OF
Richmond will see it, and go five feet bet
ter, thus giving us a harbor equal to New
York, and rendering Richmond, what is
claimed for it by gentleman of the En-
qatiae,', the greatest city in the world.

Nasty Filthy! Staakaag I'VE call
especial attention, Of whose ever business it
is, to the nasty and filthy condition of the
street cutters on Second street, between
Broad and Clay streets. How much far
ther, on Second street, they are in the same
condition, we do not know, as the stencil
arising from them bade us turn our noses IN
another direction. There is no time, in our
recollection, when the sanitary condition OF
Richmond was so bad. Who's who in this
matter?
