gives later intelligence from the Repub'
lie of Mexico. The opposing party
have elected new President and Vice
President of Congress, which is consid-
cred great victory. Senior Peralto had
arrived in the city Of Mexico and met
with a glorious reception. A party OF

house in an open carriage. A revolu-
ton has broken out in Tampico and &C

A shocking murder occurred here to-

tea party with his wife Margaret. They
quarreled on the way home and Mar
garet declared that she would live with
him no longer. When they arrived at
home he commenced beating her, and
finally threw her out OF the third story
window to the sidewalk, killing her al
most instantly. There was a fearful
struggle between them at the window.
Rudd was perfectly sober. Jealousy
was the cause.

states that it should be the highest OBJ.

A report which originated in the Balti-
more Gazette has been going the rounds, to
the effect that the Hon. Lewis. Mckenzie
and Senator John +. Lewis were expected
to make war upon the carpet-baggers in the
coming Convention.
We considered it too silly to notice, as
the liberal views of both those gentlemen
upon Northern settlers are well-known.
Senator Lewis goes 50 far as to say " that
he considers the Northern man, who comes
to Virginia to settle from free choice, is en-
titled to more credit as a citizen Of Virginia
: than himself, who only happened to be
borne here that he cares nothing for birth
place but only for character. /" =
Lewis Mckenzie has always been known
as sturdy, original Unionist, the earnest
and intelligent friend Of Northern institu-
tions and the intro duction of Northern set
settlers. Both these gentlemen disclaim all
place seeking or personal aims, and express
their great desire for harmony in the coun-
cils of the party. t

THE SCIOOI.S.-An important adyer-
tisement concerning the city schools ap-
pears in our paper to-day, to which we call
the attention OF those Interested AS the
schools will open on the lst day of Octo-
Der, now close at hand, it behooves parents
and guardians to possess themselves of all
necessary information to enable them to
start promptly, at the beginning, such
scholars as they may have under their
charge. It is well known to all experienced
persons, that scholar makes better progress
in all the various branches of study by be-
ing present at the opening and being con-
stantly on hand thereafter. The most dill
gent and persevering student can scarcely
regain time lost, if only one day, and may
not during an entire session wholly recover
from q certain feeling of Encouragement
which the briefest absence from class will
engender. We therefore remind our citi-
zens that attention to these school matters
is of the utmost Importance, as exercising
great and lasting influence over the future
of scholars. 1t is important to ascertain
certainly in advance to which of the schools
your scholars belong, in order that there
may be no mistakes and consequent con-
fusion on that account.
tits known to our readers that we, in
common with the most intelligent people
| throughout the city and State, hope much
from our public schools. Their influence
for good can scarcely be overrated. In the
education of our youth we best subscrve
the moral and material interests of our
State and country at large. Nothing
i short of sickness or death shonld be al
lowed to prevent the regular attendance Of

Anti.Tnmmany Demecrnts.

Tammany, full of corruption, seems to
be tottering to its fall. Meetings of anti
Tammany Democrats are being held in
New York city and elsewhere in the State,
to cut loose. the honest members Of the
party from the Tammany Ring.
1t is favorite dodge with certain Demo-
cratic newspapers to charge corruption on
the Southern State governments, in order
to divert attention from the Ku-klux, and
from the enormous corruptions of the New
York Democracy. This dodge will fail.
The crimes of murder in the South and
stealing in New Yorll-for that is what it
is-will be charged home on the Democracy,
and the proof of these crimes will be fixed
in history so as not to be eilaced.
Tammany can afford to send hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the South to
influence the elections. Tammany can af-
ford to pay for and send out South Kuklux
masks and gowns, and kuklux monitorlal
books. Tammany is rich out of the peo-
ple's money which Tammany has stolen.--

SHAMEFUL.

''RIcHaoxp Sept. %, 1877.
''It appears that in the Polish Synagogue Ken
nesseth Israel alone, that man like p. Bowman,
who swears falsely the whole year through, from
one Atonement day until the other, and informs
against fathers OF families and members of his
congregation, WAS elected and honored AS l)iesi-
dent by the members and congregation. 1t is
wrong to have man like p. Bowman for pres
ident. who robs, and commits such deeds as the
following:
HE has committed iniquity and acted presump-
tuously;
He has committed violence. frsud and false
hood;
Gle has uttered lies under oath and caused
others to do so
Gle has rebelied and gone astray, knowing. il
to be so, and caused others 10 swear falsely.
'He has corrupted many, running the fathers
of families. On the 30th of May, 1870, in case
of S Morris, whom p Bowman employed to
close Isaac Jacobs store, and claimed as his own,
with intent to rob said Isaac Jacobs, he (P. Bow
man, auctioneer and commission merchant,)
stood security, swearing before Robert Howard,
then clerk of the Chaneery Court, that he was
possessor of large amount OF real estate in the
city of Richmond. The case was tried, and went
against Morris He (Bowman) knowing that Ja-
cohs had the records searched by Mr. Clopton,
attorney at law, and that he found nothing there
but II 500 worth of personal property, on which
he paid $3.50 tax, p. Bowman aGctioneer and
commission merchant, then had ). Morris (whom
he carries in his pocke,) TO carry the case TO the
Court of Appeals. +. Bowman again attempted
to become security before Mr.. Berry, now clerk
of the Chancery Court, and stated again that he
had real estate in the city. Mr.. Berry told Bow
man that he had sworn before Bob Howard that
he had such property, which was not so, and
that he could not play such trick on him.
In short, L. Bowman has committed more
wrong deeds than those prohibited in onr Holy
Bible. No later than last Saturday, the 23d of
September, he tBowman) after his broiher-in-

1t is high tinfe the taxpayers and sober,
rehecting portion Of our citizens should
unite and put stop to the present mode of
nominating candidates for Office. The Dss-
patch announces this morning that the peo-
ole of Richmond hayc their ticket before
them. It is well we should know it. The
Dispatch informs us ''they are mostly
young and untried men, respectfully ask
why should we put forward such when we
have SO large a number of tried, good men
in our party to select from? 1t is easily
answered. Our most respectable citizens
! will not attend ward meetings gotten upin
the interest of certain characters in the
city.
would ask what claims has Lovenstein
on our citizens, other than he is Ger
man jew, who can probably drink as much
lager-beer as any other man-and he 'fhe
cornerstone ?o What interests has he in
common with. our people. This same sys-
tenn of nominations was adopted some
years back, and I heard the boast made
that at one of these meetings, when the
vote was being taken, the hat OF each OF
the tellers, as they were collecting the tick
cts, was knocked out of their hands, and
hundreds of tickets thrown in amongst
those in the hats. Those menknew before
hand which Of our citizens would be abb
sent, and had prepared. tickets, indorsed
with their names. The man thus nomi-
mated was wholly unfit for the Office, as it
subsequently turned out he was defaulter
to considerable amount.
Mr.. Editor,l have been forced to
vote the ticket of our party, because your
party had made more objectionable
nominations, hut ! have determined to
vote my own ticket from the day that |
voted for Hunnicutt and Segar; and am
not alone in this determination---the are
hundreds of our best citizens who will
either strike the ticket or stay away from
the polls on the day.of election. The would
be leaders of our party have abused your
party for selecting certain men as candi-.
dates. Compare our ticket with yours.

must be the superstructure My only
hope is that the Radical party will have
him well coopered so as to prevent his
bursting. CONSERVATIVE.

THE MARKET-TI HOUSES Whig of
this morning has the following concerning
the names of the market-houses

the names Ot lHc lldThet-UOuSCSs
We are tired of the official designations of the
two market houses as First Market and ''Se-
cond Market" The old residents prefer to speak
of them as the "Old Market and The New
Market Let us have an official re-christening
by the Comcil--one that will prove generally
acceptable, and at the saine time be harmonious
with the surroundings. We suggest that the
name of the "First Market be changed to "Jef
ferson Market and that of the other TO "Mad-
son Market This question is respectfully re-
ferred to the market committees.
We concur in the opinion expressed by
our city contemporaries that more appropri-
ate and more significant names than First"
and "Second'' should be adopted for the
market-houses. But as we have city
wards named Jefferson" and "Madison," "
we, for that reason, deem those names OBJ
iectionable, and also for the reason that the
markets should more appropriately COM
memorate names familiarity identified with
the business or governmental history of the
city. We make no suggestion of names,
but are confident that those having the au-
thority to make the change will have nc
difficulty in finding among the names o
spirited and worthy citizens of Richmond
living or dead, names worthy of all honor
and certainly of this.
