MEETING IN MARSHALL WARD LAST NIGHT.
The canvass closed by rousing meeting at
the Marshall-Ward Clubhouse last night.
The Clubhouse was jammed by the most
enthusiastic crowd ever assembled IN that
norton of the city. Several hundred per-
sons were unable to get within the building.
The Clubhouse was tastefully draped with
national and State flags, and brilliantly illu-
minated.
The meeting was called to order by Cap
tain George A. Ainslie, who nominated
Captain Joseph J. English as chairman.
Captain English on taking the chair de-
liyered stirring speech, and introduced MS
the first speaker Charles S. VOORHEES,, OF In
diana, who won the hearts OF his Virginia
auditors by his eloquent enunciatIon OF
those principles OF which his distinguished
father has so long been one OF the ablest
champions in the Union.
Colonel H. T. Burrows was next intro
duced, and delivered an able and impressive
speech.
William Lovenstein, Esq, next addressed
the meeting, and the enthusiasm with when
he was received gave assurance OF the fact
that his election will be assured to-day.
Ex-Goyernor Gilbert G.. Walker then
arose to address the meeting, but the ap-
plause which his presence on the platform
produced was so loud and prolonged that
for some time he was unable to proceed.
He delivered one OF the happiest speeches
Of the canvass, and his hearers were warmed
up to the highest pitch Of enthusiasm.
At late hour the meeting adjourned,
and with three times three cheers for Tilden
and Hendricks and the congressional and
Legislative tickets the large crowd dispersed,
resolved to do their whole duty at the polls
to-day.

MANCHESTER NEWS.

Our citizens retired last night full OF con-
fidence in the result Of to-day's conflict.
They were also cheered by the sounds OF
the jubilation held on Libby's Hill by their
Conservative brethren. These could be
heard plainly and distinctly, and the lights
of the meeting stood out in bold relief
to the watcher from the Manchester side.
Our people seem to have but little doubt as
to the result, and II we are successful, as we
all believe we will be, Manchester will have
one OF the grandest Joy meetings that old
Chesterfield has ever heard OF. In order to
LET our citizens be well-infomed as to the re-

Proposed CHANGES At THE COURT
HousE.-There is some talk OF making
considerable change in the interior ar
rangements Of the Court House. For
some time past the want Of sufficient jury
room has been severely felt, and the
changes proposed will remedy this, AT
present the judicial bench Is at the east
end OF the court room, and railing rum
ming across the room separates the lobby
from the bar. 1t is now proposed TO put
up . partition across the room about
fifteen feet from the door, and in the
space thus gained have four good-sized
rooms, two on each side Of the entrance,
one above and one below. The two low
er rooms would be each about 15x20 feet,
and the two upper rooms probably l5x25
each. The upper rooms would be larger,
because Of gaining the width Of the hall
below. This partition would leave the
court room about 50x60 feet, which is
plenty large enough to allow . space on
tho north siAA Tor spectators: the bench
being on the south side OF the room.
Two Of these rooms could be used as
Jury rooms, one as a library and the
other as the Judges room. The cost Of
the improvements would not amount 10
81 900. Atpresent the county is paying
$3.50 year rent for the library, which is
fifteen per cent Of the estimated cost oil
the proposed change. It can readily be
seen, then, that the change would really
be matter oieconomy as well as con-
yenience. We are not aware that the
County Commissioners think Of seriously
considering the matter, but il is certainly
worthy Of some attention. The members
Of the bar especially favor the change,
and viii probably bring the matter before
the Commissioners.
