Shocking Case Of Hydrophobia.

Mr.. Richard Staples, who resides on
Ninth street, near G southeast, was
taken with a strange malady a few days
since, which has developed into well
defined case of hydrophophia. Some
days since he was taken with spaslns,
which continued to recur from time to
time, each one growing more violent,
and Drs. McKlm and Walsh were call
ed in to see him. After a careful ex-
animation they report that it is bad
case of hydrophobia. Yesterday the
raylngs Of the afflicted man became so
violent that nothing could be done with
him, and his relatives sent to the
marine barracks and got leg-irons and
handouts, which were put on him to
prevent danger to the household
During the fits he becomes perfectly
frantic, and snaps and bites at every
one who approaches him; and when the
fit wears off he is nearly exhausted
Yesterday, during one of his lucid in
tervals, he stated that he knew what
the matter was, that it was hydrophobia
caused by the bite of dog some three
months ago in one of the streets in
Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was stop
ping at the time. The circumstance is
quite clear to him, and he says he was
fearful at the time, and since, of the
results. The doctors think the case will
result fatally, as every time water is
brought in his presence he is at once
seized with one of these dreadful spasms
and anything suggestive of water, such
as the appearance OF looking glass,
causes him the most intense distress,
nausea and frothing at the mouth fol
lowing.

The Gal.ows in Alexandria Execution Of
Charles Marley,

ALEXANDRIA, March 2S.-Charles
Marley, colored, convicted of the muir
der Of an old white man, clock-men
der, named Monroe, in July last in this
city, was hanged to day in the yard of
the jail, in presence ola large concourse
Of people. The rooftops Of houses in
the vicinity, steeples and other prom
inent points were crowded with specta-
tors anxious to see the execution. The
crowd was so great that ingress to the
Jail was almost impossible
The drop fell at 81 minutes before
one o'clock, and the body hung about
20 minutes. Manley made short
speech attributing his fate to whiskey.
He met his fate with great cemposure.
Several colored preachers attended, to-
gether W it'll committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association. There
was no disturbance.
MANIEYs ADDRESS FROM THE scAFFoLD.
Major Steuart came to the front and
asked attention, and the prisoner then
in a wonderfully firm voice thus adj
dressed the crowd:
"My Friends a5sd Chris5ain Bro
Tiers: I will say to you, but not for my
sake, let whiskey alone. Whiskey is
the death of me. Ny desire is to meet
you in heaven. I thank God | have a
hope that Jesus has promised to be
with me to the last. / amt blaming
anybody but whiskey. Take my ad
vice and leave it alone. The Christian
Association has been kind to nte; kin
der than brothers. They have been to
see me Sabbath after Sabbath, and if it
had not been for them | might be lay
ing on my bed in hell this day, Mr..
Cline has also been more than brother
to me. My brothers, one and all, fare
well. | am going home to Jesus"
THE LAST SAD SCENES.
Marley, on finishing these remarks,
was directed to the drop, and the per
sons on the scaffold took leave of him,
when he repeated his request not to be
buried until tomorrow He stood
firmly while his legs were being pinion-
ed. The rope was adjusted around his
neck and the black cap drawn over his
head, and at 1926 o'clock foot was
placed on the treadle. The sharp clang
Of the bolts was heard, followed by the
heavy sound of the trap, and those out
side as well as those inside knew that
the body had dropped and the rope was
doing its terrible work.
The fall was sufficient to break the
neck, and the body only gave one or
two slight shrugs. 1t was allowed to
hang fifteen minutes. and Drs. West
and Adams then examined it and pro-
nounced life extinct. It was then
lowered into the coffin, and according
to the requests of the deceased, will
not be inferred until tomorrow.

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
company which will secure a contin-
nous line from Richmond to louisville,
Kentucky, by the completion of the
Big Sandy and Lexington railroad,
have subscribed 100000 toward the
construction of a new bridge across the
Ohio river at Louisville, and will form
a western connection at that point with
the st. Louis air line.
In $500 the postmaster general wrote
to complaining correspondents in Mass
achusetts that "the delay OF half day
is not of much consequence to the in
habitants of Groton That old official
evidently knew his business; a delay
of only half a day in these improved"
days would be something to boast Of in
postal dispatch.

AN UNFORESEEN CoNT1NeENcT.-The
General Assembly will, we suppose, be
compelled to meet in December next
The State Constitution contains the fol-
lowing provision:
"The Governor shall be elected by
the voters at the times and places of
choosing members of the General AS
sembly." 'The Speaker of the House
of Delegates shall, within one week
thereafter, THAT is, after the meeting of
the General Assembly chosen, at the
same time the Governor is chosen, in
presence of a majority of the Senate
and House Of Delegates, open the said
returns, and the votes shall then be
counted. The person having the high
est number of votes shall be declared,
&c"
So that there can be no such thing as
a postponement Of the meeting of the
next General Assembly until January,
1874. Previous to that time the votes
for Governor must have been counted,
and some one must have been declared
elected, so that he may take office on
the 1st of January.
The Radicals rely upon this provision
of the Constitution to justify them in
protesting against the election of the
county judges at this session of the
General Assembly. They contend that
this duty will properly devolve upon
the next General Assembly, since that
body will be compelled to assemble be-
fore the present term Of the county
judges will have expired. But the pro
vision in question cuts both ways. 1t
requires the General Assembly to con
vene, but it also prescribes the duties
to be performed by it before the 1st of
January. If there would not be time
enough between the day OF its meeting
and the 1st of January to elect county
Judges, and also to count the vote for
Governor, and declare who shall have
been elected, OF, failing an election by
the people, to elect a Governor itself,
then of course the General Assembly
would have to perform the duties which
the mandatory language Of the Consti
tuition not allow that body to postpone
or evade. Consequently, again, county
judges must be elected-as they are
being elected-by the present General
Assembly.-Rich. Dis2,ateh.

The second committee upon the sub
ject of interest agreed to report bill
making six per cent the legal interest,
but allowing 9 per cent by special con
tract, and FORGETTING principal and in-
terest for violation of the law. It is
possible that this report may be accept
ed and become the law, but it is very
probable that no law will be passed
upon the subject, and for the next year
the people viii be permitted to loan at
any rate upon which both parties may
agree.
After the adoption of the report
mentioned above the Committee recon
sidered the action taken and afterwards
agreed upon a report in favor of six
per cent. as the usual rate, but allowing
eight per cent to be charged by special
contract, penalty for usury to be for
fixture of, usurious interest the same as
the report of the first committee of con
ference. Before this report could be
submitted a misunderstanding arose and
some of the members declined to sign
it, but afterwards, we learn, agreed to it.
RICHMOND, March 3l.-The Senate
and House Of Delegates have both
agreed to the report of the committee
Of conference upon the Interest ques-
ton, fixing the rate at six per cent, but
allowing eight per cent, to be charged
by special contract, the penalty for
charging more being the forfeiture Of
the excess of interest above the legal
rate.

Daring Attempt To Assassinate Young MAJ.
1t is seldom that We have to record
SO fiendish crime as was committed in
our city last night, i'll the cowardly and
cold blooded attempt Of some william to
assassinate one of our citizens. AS Mr..
Dudley Bray was approaching the resi-
dence Of his father, Mr.. James L. Bray,
on Eighth street between Clay and
Leigh streets, about halfpast 7 o'clock,
it being unusually dark On account of
the prevailing storm, an assassin who
was secretea behind a tree Suddenly
stepped ollt On the sidewalk, placed
pistol against the breast of Mr. Bray
and fred it, the ball passing through
the right breast out below the arm-pit,
inflicting dangerous, though not nee
essarily mortal, wound. Without wait
ing to see the result Of his shot, the
would-be murderer ran from the spot,
and no one. being hear to follow in pur
suit or to give an alarm, he escaped.
The attack was SO sudden and SO stun
ming in its effects that Mr.. Bray was un
able to give an accurate description of
his assailant. 1t is hoped, however,
that our police will be able to discov-
er the perpetrator of this foul decd.
The authorities should offer large re-
ward for his arrest.-RicAnond Dis

Our entire community was startled
on Saturday by the announcement of
the death Of our distinguished towns
man, Judge William Daniel, Jr., which
occurred at Livingston, in Nelson coun-
ty, at half past eight o'clock on Friday
night. Judge Daniel lett us only on
Tuesday last, in high health to attend
the sitting Of the Circuit Court of Mel
son county, and up to few minutes
before he was stricken with the hand
Of death, was apparently perfectly we'll.
About 8'oclock Friday night he was
attacked with apcplexy, and in less
than half an hour the long, useful, and
brilliant career Of this noble ''Virginia
Gentleman was terminated, and the
spirit OF as pure patriot, as upright and
honorable a man as lived, had passed
forever from earth.
