Impudent Assumption OF Power.


To the Editor Of the State Jornal:
We understand that a few persons,
headed by Aunty Joe Humphreys, have
been.assuming to act as an executive COM
mittee of the Republicans of this district,
when, in reality, they have no authority
whatever to act as such committee. The
real committee is composed of the follow
ing members, to wit:
John Robinson, of Amelia, Chairman !;
Frank Butler, of Cumberland; William P.
Manly, of Goochand; A. T. johnson, Of
Hanover; s. L. Annable, OF Henrico !;
William N. Tinsley, of New Kent; Henry
Cox, of Powhatan; r. G. w. Jones, of
Charles City; William E. jenkins, of
Chesterfield; and Lindsey, Humphreys,
Baily and Froman, of Richmond city.
Now, in the name of the Republican
party of the Third Congressional District,
which is not included in few persons
located in the city of Richmond, but in the
people of the counties and the city-we
protest against the bogus party aforemen-
toned assuming to act for the Republicans
Of the district. If Mr.. Porter insists upon
acting with these demagogues, he must do
50 openly and like man, and not pretend
to act under advisement of the Republicans
of his district, when he knows that their
every act has been repudiated by the peo-
pie of the district.
We understand meeting of the whole
committee win be called as soon as practi-
cable, by those members who have not
been hitherto consulted. This is move
in the right direction. CITIZEN.

The PERsIMMoN. Some of our Northern
friends would be surprised if we were to
tell them we have eaten most delightful
fruit, just gathered from the tree--yes.
here in the middle of January. This is
not at present fashionable fruit. If they
were brought all the way from the West
Indies, however, we venture to say they
would be highly appreciated. The per-
simmon is, indeed, an excellent fruit, and
must some day be carefully cultivated.
While walking out the other evening,
espying persimmon tree, at the risk Of
being considered questionable, we pretty
soon found ourself up in the very top Of
it, Vlgg'nia Paper.
To which the Whtg of this city says:
Persimmons, in good order, have been
sold in New York at SOC. to 81 per dozen.
The parish Of Plaquemines and the town
of that name, near New Orleans, are SO
called from the abundance of persimmons,
that being the Indian name; and they are
as common at the fruit stands as apples,
oranges or bananas.

The Church around the Corner,

If ever there was man really hooted
at and kicked by the Great American
Public, surely that man was the Rev. Mr..
Sabine, Of New York, for refusing to per-
form the burial rites over poor George
Holland, simply because the latter was an
actor. "The Little Church Round the
Corner" will long be remembered. The
daily press handled the distressed Sabine
"without gloves" and now. the illustrated
press have taken itup, representing him,
in his I-am-holier-than-thou attitude, mo-
tioning the coffin bearers to "rhe Little
Church Round the Corner This imme-
diately following the funeral. And now
there are benefits taking place everywhere,
and this gives occasion for rene I'd scor-
ings Of the distressed Sabine. The New
York Standard, noticing one in that city
on Friday night, pitches into the reverend
gentleman in quite a ferocious style, of
which the following is given as sample
Have the recent records of the pulpit
oeen SO pure tlat auy pIleSb can AFFORD 10
wrap bis virtue up in churlishness, and
cloak his morals in austerity We trow
not. At the same time it is well to reflect
that one harsh lesson sometimes lasts
lifetime to him who learns it. Mr.. Sabine
is comparatively young man. True, he
is old enough to have known better. But
he did not know better. There is no doubt
about that. Let him, by all means, have
credit for his stupidity. 1t is easier to for
give his being SO little of a Christian, when
one reflects that he was so much of an ass.
We are more charitable than to believe he
will always remain one. To become a
prig is not difficult matter with many
pious people. 1t comes naturally enough.
The ears of religious self-conceit incline of
their own accord toward donkeydom. But
to remain prig, after ones priggishness
has been hoofed at and spat upon by the
world, requires an amount of moral cour-
age which we would fain believe Mr..
Sabine to possess as compensation for his
lack of common sense. No. The change
will come some day."

Governor Vance has declared, in re-
cent interview, that if not promptly admit
ted to his seat in the Senate, be will resign
and give an opportunity to the Legislature
to elect some one of the able men whose
disabilities have been removed.
Last Thursday Mr.. A. T. DuBard left
Columbia, South Carolina, for his home,
and shortly afterwards his body, pierced
by balls, was found about six miles from
the city. Valuables were missing from
his person, and it is supposed he was as
sassinated by robbers.
Robert M. Boyers died at Gallatin.
Tennessee, the other day. He was the
only survivor of the original members of
Cumberland Lodge of f. and A. Masons,
Of Nashville, the first organized west of
the mountains, and, also, the last survivor
of the first Grand Lodge of Tennessee.
He was Mason before 1912.
1t is said that the invention of the cele-
brated French combination gun, is the
work of poor genius from Nicholas
county, West Virginia, who, too poor to
pay the expenses of patent sold his
secret for $75 to Frenchman in Rich
mond during the war
In Mobile lately man challenged anoth~
er for mistaking him for negro. The joke

all looks sable to sable eye.
Southern railroad companies in differ
ent States owe for railroad materials and

A CORRESPONDENT, writing from Staun-
ton, Virginia, calls our attention to the fact
that the Baltimore Democracy destroyed a
ballot.box at one of their own primary
elections recently, and suggests that they
are practicing to keep their hands in by
breaking their own boxes, that they may
be the more expert in breaking those con-
tanning Republican majorities when actual
elections take place. 1t is Spartan idea.
The Lacedemonians, to make their children
cunning and expert in the art of war, en-
couraged them to waylay and rob their
own countrymen. 1t was a thievsh GUS
tom, almost as bad as breaking ballot
box, and profting by the crime, which is
exactly the case with our present City
Council.

Tie General 1da BM.-The Legislature
for week past has been hammering away on
what should constitute the items of the "Gene-
raj Tax Bill" and it has gotten, as vet, half
way through the herculean labor which it pro-
posed to itself when it grappled this biennial
which has been aired during the last week on
this topic, would not comfortably fill more
than peck measure, though it has cost the
State in greenbacks more than $40, 900, far
more than will, by any possibility, be saved
the State by the cuteness or financial skill of
any manipulator of the bill which is still un-
week.

Clear Case for Dirorce.-In the House
of Delegates yesterday Mr.. Southal of Notta-
way presented bill providing for the divorce
of Mrs. Leora E. Jones from her husband, A.
Q. Jones, all of the same county. She states
that she was married to Jones in 1867, and that
from that time to October 18th, 1868, be treat
ed her cruelty. Then he murdered her father
and was arrested and indicted for the crime.
He escaped, however, and has never been re-
captured. She asks the aid of the Legislature
because the courts cannot afford her the relief
she desires.

Small Sales.--Shockoe Warehouse has
long been place of interest to our business
community, it being the place for the sale of
loose leaf tobacco. Every morning the space
in front is filed by the small farmers with
steer-carts, wagons, and mule.carts, containing
from nifty to three hundred pounds Of the
weed. This is removed from the 0carrv.all',
and placed in separate lots, labeled, and made
ready for the auction to take place at 10
o'clock. Besides the article of tobacco these
country carts often bring in butter, eggs, fowl,
beef, &C., &C., which the heads of families in
attendance are not slow to buy, being much
cheaper than they can be bought for in the
market-places. Altogether, these gatherings
are quite interesting, and furnish much food
for amusement to the curious observer.
