% Especial to the state Journal.l
SALEM, VIRGINIA, September 19.-
The campaign was opened in Roanoke for
the first time to-day by speaking at this
point. Hon. Charles p. Ramsdell, our
candidate for acknowledgements, led off,
followed by Colonel Robert w. Hughes
in one of his irresistible arrays OF logic,
figures, and common sense. The audi
ence was very enthusiastic. Mr.. Rams
dell spoke for an hour with great effect,
setting forth tho principles of the great
Republican party in language that is more
than useless TO attempt to describe in o
mere telegraphic synopsis. Loud applause
was again and again sent forth by
the most enthusiastic crowd, though he
was several times interrupted by few
students of Roanoke college, the institu-
ton whose claims to the land-scrip Mr..
Ramsdell, a stranger, 50 nobly fought for
In 1872. He was compelled to pause to
wait until the interruption ceased, so great
was the confusion. Notwithstanding the
confusion he redeemed himself of the
charge made by Colonel Gilman Of carpet
bagger, made few weeks ago to an as.
sembly here. The sober-thinking men of
the community gave marked attent ion to
his solid and well-founded remarks.
Colonel Hughes refused to speak until
the interruption ceased, which was stopped
by Democratic friend of Colonel Hughes
Of influence. His time was limited ON
account of having to leave on the train to
fill an appointment at Wytheyille to-mor-
row. He spoke half an hour to very
attentive audience. He threw some very
destructive shells into the Democratic
ranks. lie put forth many unanswerablc
questions that will tell in the November
election. Everybody seemed highly
pleased at his most entertaining remarks.
He has made many friends by his eloquent
words and sound logic.
Everything passed off peaceably.

HARTFORD, September 20.-ln the
Credit Mobilier case Attorney-General
Williams said the Union Pacific railroad
company were not only the agents of the
government, which had provided money
for public good, but their road was a
highway, and the trust assumed by the
company had been violated. He said he
looked for decision that would do more
good in railroad matters than all legi,la-
tive enactments.
He was followed by Judge Curtis, for
the defendants, who held that the bill was
multifarious, involving parties not legally
to be brought in.

The LADIES. The statute of limita-

years of the late war as regards debts, we
can see no good reason why it may not be
made to apply equally as well to the age of
unmarried ladies. At least those OF the
present generation should not be counted
with the old maids until they have reached
the age Of 20 years. Ladies, however,
whether married or single, so seldom reach
anything like 20 years Of age that discount
ing four years in their favor may be an
entirely useless proceeding. = girfso.,,s

The GREAT UNRIvALEDe NEW
YORK CIROUS-WHAT THE RICH
MoND PUBLIC MAY EXPECT FROM
THE MUNIFICENCE OF. Mr.. L.. b.
LENT.-The event to which all Rich
mond--the old and the young, the
healthy and the infirm, the Conservative
and Republican alike-are looking, is the
coming of the greatest of northern shows,
Mr. l.. b. Lent's New York "Leviathan
Universal Living Exposition y which pitches
tent at the corner of Second and Leigh
streets on the 10th inst, and continues for
two days in our midst. The reason SO much
interest is taken in the appearance Of this
monster exhibition, is the fact that it con-
sists of the only original New York Circus,
combined with one of the largest menage-
ries ever seen, museum of rare merit and
largest size, and many other attractions of
less startling character. IN ~
1t should be borne in mind by the reader
in canvassing the probable benefits to be
derived from q visit to this entertainment,
that it is under the direct superintendent
of Mr.. L. b. Lent himself, the only man
who ever succeeded in establishing {. circus
on permanent footing in the metropolis Of
America. His performances there were
thronged by the elite of the city and sur
rounding country, and the burning of the
building in which they were given awak-
ened more real sorrow in the bosom of
young New York, than would have, been
occasioned had every other place Of
amusement in the city have been swept
away by the flames. This catastrophe,
whilst sincerely regretted. and viewed al.
n ost as a public calamity in Gotham, has
benefited the world outside, the great city,
by allowing the millions who, have never
had an opportunity of, ) visiting New
York, the chance to see all and more
than was ever enjoyed by the population
of Manhattan Island. Thispecrless show,
combining circns, menagerie and museum
in one vast caravan employing an army
of men and horses, and requiring the ex-
penditure of q moderate fortune every
week of its existence to- keep it afloat-
will exhibit, be it remembered, on Mon
day and Tuesday, the 10Th and 30th, of
Spntember ,
