1For the Dispatch
A MISREPRESENTATION Corrected.

NV attention has been called to the fol-
lowing paragraph in speech ofDr. a. 5. Bet
telheim, reported in the Dispatch of the
22d ultimo: I'll: }eYl
mot long ago. at public examination IN a
church, minister OF the Gospel accused our Juda-
| ism of Observation-Disclosures and hatred OF women,
because we have In our daily prayers tnanksRly-
| mo for males that they had not been made te-
males" s.t
Surprising that I am the minister referred

telheim and my Jewish felloW-cltizens gene

| The animuS of my remarks. The facts are
simply these: I was requested TO deliver:
| prizes to the meritorious pupils in one OF
our public schools. My attention was ar
| rested by the fact that majority of the hon.
| ored scholars were girls. [ was naturally
| led to discourse on the great change which,
| within the period of my recollection, had
| taken place in the comparative attention
| paid to the education of males and females
Several of the bright and happy girls to De
| rewarded were Jewesses, and DR.. Bettel-
| helm sat behind me. Suddenly, was re-
minded OF sentence which more than

that my memory, after so long an interval,
might not be playing trick on me, in play

ism, quoted it. So far from intending to
reproach my Jewish fellow-citizens, did
not imagine that there was any disparage-

my sex would very generally unite in giving
thanks that they are not women; and am
satisfied that the other sex may, with equal
propriety, render thanks that they are not
men. If the advantages and disadvantages
of the sexes were fairly balanced, really do
not know whether the rougher or gentler
sex would have greater cause for thankful

but l am equally thankful that God has made
woman as well as man.
repeat, I intended no reproach and felt
no unkindness toward the Jews, and GER
tainly would not have ayailed myself of an
occasion OF public interest to utter word
unfrendly 10 them. Indeed, expressed on
the occasion, what | sincerely felt, desire
that all animosties between Jews and Chris
tians should cease, and that they should
heartily unite in the pursuit of truth and
Righteousness. j. b. JETER.

Tue BIsHoP-ELEcT OF ILLINOIS ACCEPTS
Professor George +. Seymour, of New York
the newly-elected bishop of Illinois, has
written reply to the committee authorized
to inform him Of his election. In the reply
he says:
"The diocese Of New York is very dear
to me; it has ever been my ecclesiastical
home. And my bishop-I began my minis.
try as deacon with his accession to the
episcopate; among the first of his official
acts was to lay his hands upon me-my bish.
op holds me by many cords, which bind me
with a veneration and affection to him which
could not easily be exceeded. It would be
tedious to mention other considerations
of an official and personal character which
combine to exert upon me powerful iDf1u.
ence to persuade me to remain where am.
But it seems to me that the voice Of God,
the Holy Ghost, has spoken in the choice to
which the diocese Of Illinois has led in the
election at the recent convention, and if that
voice is confirmed by the approval Of the
General Church, l shall feel assured that
unworthy as am, the Divine call bid me go
to you. In that event, let me say to you,
dear brethren, and through you to the clergy
and Iaity of Illinois, that shall come among
you to be yours for life and for death; to be
over you in the Lord for your spiritual vel.
fare, to have yon, as the great apostle says,
ever in my heart" ~

DAMAGE TO THE TOBACCO CRop.-Our fears
have been realized rs to the effect Of the
storm Monday night upon The tobacco in the
fields. Yesterday there were planters in
town from different directions in Virginia
and North Carolina. aud they all concurred
in representing the storm as very disastrous.
The ripper the tobacco the more it was dam
aged. In most fields many leaves were torn
from the stems and scattered thickly over
the ground, while the leaves not broken of
were badly whipped by the blasts and so
bruised as TO become black.
As the storm was general the disaster to
the crop is not local but widespread. It Is
commonly believed that in this section Of
the tobacco country not more than one
fourth of the crop had been cut; so that if
reports that reach us be correct the loss to
the planters is not a light one. This vista.
ton, following upon the unusually short crop
Of the season, will still further curtail the
quantity OF good marketable tobacco for
next years ywork.-Danoille Register.

Senator CARPENTER defends himself from
the dreadful accusations Of kELLoGG's check
book The New York Tribune thus explains
the situation of the senator:
"Mr. Carpenter 5 letter is OUT. lie merely
told Governor Kellogg that thousand dol
lars would be godscnd. 1t was after he
had received seyera thousand, and before
his final report to the Senate on the uSul pa
tion he had been senl to New Orleans 10 il-
yesiisate. But Of course il was purely for
legal services. AZ lawyer, he was in the
pay OF the usHrpation; as Il senator, he was
engaged in trying and pronouncing jucg-
mcnt upon it. He demanded the godsend as
u lawyer, not us Il senator. When the devil
gets the lawyer, the senator sees no reason
in the world why he should not escape"

Letter from Charlottesville.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch

CHARLOTTESVILLE, October /, 1874.
The last issue Of the Charlottesville Chro-
ntcle contains q card from Collector Lawson,
in which he refutes an allegation made in this
correspondence in the Dispatch of the 10th
September, to the effect that he was instru-
mental in securing the arrests of the drug
gists mentioned in that letter.
AS there was no such allegation made, 1t
is not worth while to refer to the matter
further than to say, in justice to myself.
that the. information contained in the report
sent the Dispatch was obtained from gem
tleman who was supposed to have q know
ledge of the facts, corroborated by other
gentlemen of unimpeachable veracity and
II the letter referred to implied charge
against Collector Lawson these gentlemen
implicitly believed it at the time, whatever
their present knowledge and belief may be,
and the statement was made in accordance

OTHER NOTES.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
LOUISA COURTHOUSE, VA.,l
October l, 1874.
Yesterday was the day the Radicals were
to have met here, but they met at Bells
Crossroads instead. From u O'Clock I'M.
til nearly sunset they were quarreling
among themselves as to who should take the
chair, etc. At last Lazarus Bibb took the
chair and called the meeting to order. John
Poindexter, rampant Burgess or none at
alp man, was elected delegate to the
Convention of the 7th instant which
meets in Richmond. There were two
"ciqueS" therefore from the up
per part of the township, and one
around here. The one here is for Burgess
or "none at ALL" and the other for Smith.
When the "clique's" representatives from
here arrived at the crossroads they found
that the other one outnumbered them, but a
little treating, ETC., soon brought the majori-
ty over to the Burgess side, and consequent
ly Burgess delegate was elected from this
township. The other meetings have not
been heard from, but doubtless they sent
Burgess delegates. Those here, or some,
say that if Burgess is not nominated they
don't care who is elected. They had just as
soon Walker should go to Congress as
Smith.
Some say if Smith is nominated that they
will take the stump against him.
No clerk was nominated yesterday.
On Saturday, at Trevilian's, Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, understand there will
be another "muss."
The Conservatives have a mass-meeting al
DR.. Pendleton's, Cuckoo township, on next
Monday, when G. c. Walker and others will
address the people. On the 18th instant
(court.day) there will be meeting here.
The Circuit Court has been in session since
Friday; many cases were on the docket. II

From the districts which are disputed by
Radical nominees We are sure, from the III
formation received, that our nominees are
acouitting themselves nobly. JoHs GooDE,
in the Norfolk district, is handling his ad-

damaging effect. The people Of The district
confidently hope to elect GooDE, result

there is reason TO fear for the safety Of Gen

brought out on the Radical side in the
Abingdon district against General Terry.
Messrs. McMULLIs and FRENCH are in

They will hardly endanger the election
OF General JERRY by continuing their
canvass of their own claims after this nomi'
nation Of HENpERLlTE. Should they do so we
could hardly doubt that the public indigna-

General TERRY would triumph over all bis
orpon,nts-the faithless Conservatives and
the Radical combined. That would be
valuable rebuke to INSCRIPTIONS ambition,
and would have a good fleet in future cam.
paicrs. But we nevertheless hope that the
Independents will show their good sense
and public devotion by getting out of the
way.

A furious storm of wind and rain passed
over this portion of the county last night.
The rain commenced falling Yesterday, and
it rained incessantly until about IL O'clock
to-day. Last night, however, the storm
reached its height, and we went out this
morning TO lind the streams all swollen and
trees fallen across tue roads in every dircc-

ing been done 10 the crops Of corn and to-
bacco. The latter especially suffered very
much. The ripper leaves of the crops were
blown OIL, or whipped" by the action Of
the wind into shreds. The corn was blown
down and the fodder almost ruined. The
injury done to those crops in this section
must be very large. Very little tobacco, il
any, has been cut, and thus nearly the entire
crop was exposed to the fury of the storm.
