THE SUPPOSED MURDER CASE
CoRoNER's INQUEST VERDICT OF
THE JURY.--Sa Saturday afternoon Coroner
VIM. Ii. Taylor and Deputy Coroner b.
G. McPhail, in company with the jury that
had been previously summoned, re-
paired TO Hollywood cemetery, where
the body of George j. Derby
shire, the young man alleged to have been
shot and killed by young man named
Writ B. Turner, which had been disin-
tered, was viewed. The field in which the
shooting took place was also visited and
inspected, after which the jury was ad-
journed-until yesterday morning at eleven
o'clock, when it met at the city morgue.
Here number of witnesses were
examined, and among them
two colOred women, who swore po. l.
lively to the fact that they had seen young
Turner fire the fatal shot with a gun and yet
when asked if they had conversed aboutth
mater since the shooting, notwithstanding
the fact that they lived next door to each
other, they responded in the negative.
This seemed TO be the only evidence that
connected young Turner with the shooting,
as the parties who were present (the women
claimed to have been some distance Off all
swore positively to the fact Of the guns
having been discharged while young Derbey-
shire was drawing it towards him. The
jury, after having heard all the evidence in
the case, together with the result Of the post

and deputy coroner, at nine O'Clock last

sappahannoc,s 4 County.

happAhAnnOckC COuutYs
A correspondent writing from Flint Hill,
RappahannOck county, under date OF
August 27. says: !,
The Republicans OF this county arc well
organized and fully alive TO the issues in
volyed in the present momentous struggle.
On our last county court day,
the unterrilied Democracy held meeting
for the purpose of devising some
means by which they could secure
the nomination of an old fogy can
dldate for the legislature, and thereby
blast the hopes of very prominent
young aspirant in their ranks for legisIa-
tive honOrs. This created considerable
pow. WOW among them, and they finally
adjourned by calling on their old leader,
Major Zeph Turner, for speech, who re-
sponded by giving very glowing account
Of the convention of gentlemen lately
assembled in Richmond. He wound up
his long-winded narration on the old
string Of mixed schools and negro
supremacy in Virginia if the Repub-
lican party should come into power
this fall. That old string has been
played on so long that it is about played ont.
After the Major subsidized, the Republicans
held very harmonious and enthusiastic
meeting, unanimously endorsing the action
of the Lynchburg convention, and resolved
to call mass meeting on the second Monday
in September. They then called on r. II.
Bruce, esq.,, who responded in bold
and eloquent speech in defence of the
Republican party, and closed his remarks
by replying in full to Major Turner. The
Major and most of the immaculate gem
tlemen of his party left the courtroom
before Mr.. Bruce took the stand, but q
good audience OF the bone and sinew OF
the land remained, listening attentively,
and frequently applauding our speaker.
There live in this county good many Of
General Kemper's old command in the
Confederate army, and the greater number
of them swear they will not support him
for governor. Hughes and Ramsdell are
steadily gaining ground every day, and a
great number went to WarrentOn from this
county on the 25th instant, to hear them
speak. 1t is earnestly hoped that we will
be favored with their presence before the
campaign is over. We need good speakers
very much in this section of Virginia,
bearing along the eastern base of the Blue
Ridge, and then, with the help of THE
| STATE JOURNAL, we will be enabled tc
remove the scales of darkness from the
eyes Of the hardy sons of toll and ensurt
| us a brilliant victory this fall.

"A PEOPLE will not follow portable

Now and then the southern gentle
men engaged in the newspaper busi-
ness show their weakness in such man
ner as to make themselves laughing
stock among their own people, and bring

The inspectors of steamboats, have
made public the official report of the
Wawasset disaster, recommending the pros
ecution Of the Potomac Ferry company
and the captain and mate and the suspend
ing of the engineer. The charges against
the Ferry company are for carrying more
passengers than allowed, and employment
Of officers who did not bear certificates.
The charges against the captain and mate
are for accepting places without proper
documents. Want of discipline is gener-
ally charged, and an undue anxiety on the
part of the captain TO save the boat instead
of the passengers. The secretary has
referred the report TO the solicitor general
for his action, with a view of prosecuting
the alleged culprits.

TIE Bro EXCURSION TO WEST
PoINT.-The grand military and civic ex-
cursion TO and picnic at West Point, was
as great a success as had been hoped for
by the most sanguine. At an early hour
this morning detachments of the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues, Sidney Grays, and
other companies, commanded by Captain
Imboden, and headed by McCann's band,
of Ninth and Broad streets, TO the Union
depot, where they received and
welcomed the Petersburg Grays. who
arrived in full force, and were afterwards
escorted to the Blues armory, where they
partook Of refreshments of liquid kind,
They then marched into the Monumental
hotel, where mine host, Dodson, had pre-
pared breakfast that would have done no
discredit to the best caterer IN America.
In very few moments after breakfast the
line of march was taken up for the York
River depot. On Bank street the following
companies: Richmond Grays, Company F.,
Lee Guard, &C., joined the line, and on
their way farther down the Walker Light
Guard fell in. About this time the streets
were thronged, and on the arrival of the
military at the depot it was found to be
literally loaded down with ''loolers-on
in Venice" many of whom went to swell
the teeming throng who embarked for
Richmond's lavorite point, where no doubt
they had a day full of pleasure. A train
of fifteen cars bore off the crowd. This
excursion was benefit testimonial to
Captain James f. .McCann, leader of the
First Virginia regiment band, was under
der the auspices of the officers and members
of the regiment and civic societies.

E PROPOSED EXCURSION OF THE COLI
oRED MILITARY TO WASHINGTON, ID.
ca committee has been appointed on
the part of the two Richmond companies,
with Lieutenant Thomas w. Walker, Of the
Attucks Guard, chairman, and Lieutenant
Charles j. Malord, Of the Carney Guard,
secretary, to make arrangements for a
grand excursion to Washington in Oc-
tober. The excursion will hardly fail
to come off. and will, no doubt, barring
any accidents, be productive of much
enjoyment TO those who participate.
1t is more than probable that the
following companies will participate in the
excursion: Attucks Guard and Carney
Guard, of Richmond; Union Guard and
Coclsade Guard, of Petersburg. These
four companies comprise all Of the uniformed
and armed Virginia colored military. Better
material could not be had, and if they go to
Washington, we know that the impression
they will create will rebound to their
credit.

ALLEGED UNSAFE BUILDING.-The
foot passengers and residents of Bank
street have been alarmed for several days
past. fearing that the front wall Of the build
ing now in process of erection next to
Marshall Hall, might topple outwards and
treat them to a brick-bat or something
worse. This wall seems to rest on the
wooden roof Of the Office of Judge Edward
j. Krebs and John M. Hall. esq, and may
hold the wall ina perpendicular position
should it not crush the roof in with its
weight. In that case there would be a
catastrophe sure enough. The building
belongs to Mr.. G. Wcndinger, tailor, and
attention was doubtless first drawn TO 1t
by the fact that he attempted to cut in
the wall of Marshall Hall to insert his floor
beams, and was stopped from SO doing
by an injunction gotten out by Ireland's
heirs, who own it, he refusing to pay for
half the wall, as is the custom. Wendlinger's
flooring girders on the Marshall Hall side
are now kept in position by means ol
slender scantling.
