POLITICAL.
Princess Anne County.

There was a political gathering at the
courthouse Of this county on Monday,
largely attended by members of both
parties. On the part of the Republicans
the meeting was ably addressed by Colo
mel John w. Jenkins, of Richmond, and
Hon. G. p. Ramsdeu, of Surry. Hon.
John Goode, of Norfolk, and Colonel Il
ID. Starke represented the Conservatives.
Colonel Jenkins made telling hit, rousing
up the meeting to the point of enthusiasm
in his spirited sketching of Republican
measures and men, and the benefits which
would flow from their continued ascen-
dancy. He seemed to strike the enemy on
the raw at every lick. The speech did him
great credit.
Colonel Ramsdell, our candidate for
acknowledgements also acquitted himself
brilliantly and added to his already nu-
merous array of Conservative friends.
He said he was opposed to the idea that the
state of Virginia should be reserved for
Virginians, The talk about white and
negro supremacy, Good Lord deliver
us-was all poppy-eock." He arraigned
the Conservative party for want of consis.
teney. They supported Walker and
Greeley as Republicans. He.claimed that
the Conservative party had courted the
negro vote, and he now thought that the
moving spring Of the present campaign was
to eXterminate men like himself and his
party from the state. lie deemed the
assertion that the Conservative party
represented the intellect of the country as
false. People were not going to be scared
about the bugaboo of negro supremacy.
He wished to see the state progress and
and advance, the lands increase in value.
and to see this, we needed Northern enter
prise and Northern capital. Mr.. Ramsdell
spoke of his efforts to build up the state by
inducing his people to locate, and bring
their capital and energy with them. He
drew comparison between the prosperity
of Virginia and tho states of the north.
and concluded that the cause of this was
the mismanagement and misgoyernment Of
the Conservative party. He was Re-
publican, because his party was liberal
party, and that. it was for develop
ment. He spoke at considerable length
on local issues. He contended that cor.
ruption ran riot in the legislature of Vir-
ginia, and many offices were in the posses
sion of men who never did days duty.
He then concluded, thanking the audience
for the kind attention he had received, re-
marking, that through his whole inter-
course with the people of Virginia he had
always been met with kindness and re-
ceiyed attention. This he had received
wherever he had been. and in leaving the
county of Princess Anne he would al
ways remember the handsome treatment
he had received, not alone from the peo.
pie, bus from the gentlemen who had OPP
posed him in his discussion On this occa-
sion

WELL.KNowN politicians in the west
ern towns and cities appear disguised in a
pair Of blue drill pan falcons. without a
vest, wooIen-knit .suspenders, shirt of

since, and, with whip in hand, went
into an agricultural store, under the pre-

THE BROAD STREET EXCITEMENT.

| Painful as the accident which resulted in
the death Of an excellent citizen on Broad
street, yesterday evening, may be, and
liable as similar casualties are to occur in
any city entered by railroads in these days
of rapid transit and enlarged facili-
ties for carrying on the public
traffic, we can find no palliation whatever
for the demonstration made by certain
thoughtless citizens, after the accident
last night, upon the rights and franchises
of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad. The company now
operating this road have an incontestible
right to run their cars into the city,
taking proper precautions at all times
that life and property are not endangered
thereby ; and, in this particular instance,
the Coroner's jury do not find
that any blame whatever attached to
the company or its agents. 1t is clear,
then, that the attempt to tear up the track
Or otherwise obstruct the passage of cars
over the road, was an uncaled-for outrage
which should have been promptly met, as
it fortunately was, by the police. and put
down. If the citizens of Richmond, or a
majority of them. shall demand
the removal of the track from the
business portion of Broad street, let them
accompany their demand with a PROPOSE
tion to pay the company what their
franchise is worth---what it is worth to the
railroad company in the estimation and
Judgment Of competent railroad men.
This should be the true measure of
damages, and we are confident that
proposition of this character would be
promptly entertained by the officers of the
company. All demonstrations of mobs,
and all resorts to mob-law, should be
put down.

by Police interference, without any arrest Of
the incipient rioters or loss of blood. This
dispersion was well considered, when we
come to remember that all the damage
which might have been done would have
had to be paid for by the city. We think
the city is about near enough played out
pecuniarily to let her rest for awhile.
