Our Partiaan Press Dtspatches.

One Of the most important political con.
ventions that has been held in Virginia
since the war was that which met at
Ly nchburg last week and nominated
Colonel Hughes for Governor. 1t was a
Republican convention. and was disposed
of by the Associated Press agent from
whom we receive or dispatches in three
lines. On the other hand, Democ ratio
convention met in Ohio day before yester-
day and the resolutions were telegraphed
in full, making about a column III the RE-
PUBLICAN. This morning we give in full
the proceedings of the Virginia Democratic
convention, as sent -0 Us over the wires by
the Press agent.
We merely mention thi. incident as 60
ing to show how the :elegraphic wires are

racy. When we receive dispatches over
the wire. at night which we read in the
New York papers that come in the next

An Actress Shot.

Indianapolis sentinel July ZS1
At twelve O'clock last night two pistol
shots fred iE quick succession. were heard
near the corner of Tennessee and Washing
ton streets. As near as could be learned,
the circumstances of the shooting were
these: Miss Nellie Taylor, leading lady at
the Metropolitan Theatre, had just come
down tho theatre stairs, in company with
Hogan Mccarthy, treasurer Of the theatre.
As they were passing Washington Hall
saloon some one standing in the door fred
two shots at Miss Taylor. one Of which took
effect in the left limb, inticting only flesh
wound She Immediately fell, but ": soon
picked up and taken to the Palmer House.
A. first the crowd gathered rorrd Miss
Taylor and kept plying her with questions
instead of looking after the would-be muir
derer. Omer Porter, who was at the time
sitting in front of Brinkmeyer's liquor
store, On Tennessee street, says he saw a
man running up Tennessee street unit! he
reached the alley. aud then turned and rSn
east and was scoa lost sight of. He de-
scribed the man as of medium height. with
light colOred linen coat on and light
straw hat. Benjamin Kersting, who was
at the time standing in front OF his saloon,
heard the shots and cav two men run, one
of whom went directly west on Washing
ton street and the other north on Teanes-
see street He gave chase to one of them,
but it was very dark and the fugitive took
advantage of the alleys. At last accounts
the police we're looking for the guilty party
but were unsuccessful. The wound, al
thougu very painful, will not necessarily
injure the lady. as no bones were broken,
and the ball, which was very small one,
was easily extracted.

The Most Precious Metal.

Professor C. G.. Forshey delivered lec-
ture last evening to an audience composed
o. youthful members OF the Polytechnic
Institute in the Academy of Sciences, and
it is to be greatly regretted that the hall
was not thrcnged. However. those who
attended were well repaid in listening to
the professors remarks and explana-
tions. Hi. subject was iron and its benefits
to mankind. He termed this metal the
most precious one, and called it man. right
hand in the arts and sciences 1t was given
to Us by nature in great protusion IN almost
every portion of the world. For the benefit
of the moro youthful Of his audience he
had mapped out some lines Of the geological
formations. on a blackboard. to in part
illustrate his theories. He dlated on
the history OF iron as it L. found
under the earth's surface. explaining
many peer iarities, such as will instruct
a young pupil. making numerous state
ments, among them very simple ones, yet
of that kind which at once convinced the
older listeners that they had thousands of
things yet to learn OF go common sub
stance as iron-One that enters into nearly
everything that pertains. to mans exist
ence. Tho iron that makes a piowshare to
assist man in procuring hi. daily food and
! to preserve him, may be converted into q
sword or gun to destroy human life.
! Passing from the production Of iron. the
| lecturer explained severa! interesting facts
concerning its manufacture. and detailed
hundreds Of instances where iron is brought
! into constant use. making it the most
precious metal for the worlds inhabitants.
and mentioned the increasing demand 70.
iron in our constant economy.
| The subject is one of such unlimited pro-
portions that the professor was necessarily
compelled to speak OF outline. simply: he
did not intend to enter into any scientific
lecture in the case at present-this iron age
has too many and too extensive histories
| to be dealt with in a nights lecture. He
simply glanced over his subject, dealing il
pleasant generalities.
The Young men Who'll is.ened to the pro
fessor profted by the lecture. and doubt
less will wait impatiently for the announce
ment of the next. The professor will be absent
about a month, and until the expiration
Of that time his youthful friends must
instruct themselves in reading useful works
on the theol.e les and facts of iron.

Blaine at Work.


Accounts from Maine state that President
Grant is expected in Augusta next week,
but it is not possible to state the day. The
fact Of his coming has been kept very still.
and people outside of the favored circles
had no knowledge of it till it leaked out in
the papers, and then il was at once an
nounced that he was coming on a private
visit with his family, and that no public
demonstration would be made. That this
visit means more than is thus made 20 ap-
pear on the surface may be relied on. Mr..
Baines real purpose in bringing about this
visit is to induce the President 60 appoint
Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill, Chief Justice Of the
United State. in order that he (Mr. Blaine)
may be elected himself to tine Senate in
place Of Mr. Morrill, as an advanced posi-.
ton from which to operate for the presi
dency in 1876, and every possible influence
will be brought TO bear on the President to
accomplish this purpose. Mr.. Morrill, will
be opposed at the close OF his term on &C.
count of his voting for the salary grab. and
it is said that he is not averse 10 becoming
the successor of the lamented Chase. He
is undoubtedly as well qualified to perform
the duties of that exalted position as either

More than ever this popular resort is
eagerly sought this season by all who are
able to use up few days of recreation
away from the cares and fatigues of the

leisuye to spare make themselves happy in
the midst all the luxuries earth and sea
can furnish Invalids get new lease of
life, children get fat and healthy, and ladies
robust and ruddy. When the genial Gus
Richard, lands his passengers, Margot, the

telry-such generous welcome as few wat

Tomorrow Crescent Fire Company No

THE COLLINS TRIAL AT ANTE.
A Card from Thomas Green Davidson
ANTE CrTy. August 5. 1873.

~ NHIu AKOH AAVhA0o ~ACSO DnvAHSVss
ANTE CrTY. August 5. 1873.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
In the Times of Friday last there appeared
an unwarranted fling at the court then IN
session in this place. because of the result
of trial of the Collins-Hiestand murder case
There are two points made by the writer OF
that article which feel called upon to no.
tice-the first relating to my connection
with the case, and the second relating to
the absence of my son, j. NJ. Davidson, who
was q witness il the matter.
In the first place, did not decline the
defense of Collins because of other pressing
business, as stated, but to avoid every ap.
pearance of evil or cOllusion in the matter.
My son was principal witness IN the case,
and although he has been absent in the
State of Texas tor some months past, and,
although this fact was notorious, the pub
lie would have been made to believe that his
absence was by my procurement, had bs.
come interested iu the defense of Collins;
hence l declined the appointment at once.
The impression that the writer for the
Times attempts to make, viz That j. NJ.
Davidson was in an adjoining parish at the
time this case was on trial, is simply false.
1t is a we'll known fact that J. NJ. Davidson
has been in Texas for some months past
and if any rumOr said to the contrary it
was cACoCuIuSiJ iuIcs anu was utilCuou up
for the occasion.
In conclusion. beg to state that so far
as this court is concerned, the case was
conducted with fairness and deliberation
and to the satisfaction Of every impartial
observer. That there has been mismanage-
ment of this most outrageous tragedy l am
free to confess. and doubt not that tune
and further developments will fix this NAL
feasance where it belongs.
Respectfully,
THOMAS GREEN DAVIDSON.
