One OF the gentlemen who welcomed the
President to Chattanooga was colored
clergyman, who made speech which con-
tanned mixed metaphors OF a very surprls-
ing character. Mr. Milton, the preacher in
question, said: "Our country has, gone
through long years of anxiety, perplexity,
and unrest, causing the great body OK the
nation, as it were, to bleed at every pore,
her great heart at times to nearly suspend
its pulsations, and the body to despair OF
life; but the stone which the builders re-
iected has become the head OF the corner
That stone, polished with divine excellence,
took the shape Of an American sun, and
Chief Executive OF the nation, and began,
sWhil yet Just above the horizon. to shed its
rays over this vast domain"

OPENING or RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-The
session of the college has opened prosper
ously. On Saturday some twenty more
students had matriculated than at corre-
spending period Of last year. The pros
poets are encouraging for larger number
than has been at the college for several
years. The city by f1attering patronage
is showing its appreciation Of an institu-
ton of high standard OF scholarship and
graduation. South Carolina, Georgia. LOU
isiana, and Texas, are contributing to swell
the list. Several young men Of unusual
brightness have joined the Jaw school. This
department OF the college springs at once
into popularity. Professor Davies tonight
(slonday), at the college chapel, will deliver
an address Introductory to the collegiate
course, and on Tuesday will organize and lee
ture to the law class. The reputation and
scholarship of the speaker should insure
him large and intelligent audience. Other
distinguished speakers will be present.

EXHIBITION OF BABIEs.-The very novel
entertainment in the way OF competitive
baby exhibition, which is to take place at

ming, is the talk of the town, and anxious
mothers have been carefully criticising their
"preciouS plumS" and estimating their dis
tinctive marks of beauty with the precis-
ion OF breeders Of short-horn cattle. How
the dear little darlings will be scrubbed, and
how many artistic eyes will be called into
requistion for that occasion, it would be in
teresting TO consider. And there will be
more disappointed mothers whenthe names
OF successful beauties are announced than
would make frst-class funeral. The Judge
would do well to communicate his decision
by writing, having previously removed him
self to the scene OF the East tern war for peace
and quiet.
The show will commence at 4 O'Clock, and
there will be two prizes awarded-a silver
cup to the handsomest child between the
ages OF six months and two years, and an
other prize to the finest child between the
ages OF two and five years.
Mr. Robert u. Berkeley will deliver the
address to the successful babies; but it has
not yet transpired what language he will
use, English, French, or Gcrman-proDa-
bly consultation will be held with the
little ones as to which they understand best.
At night there will be 4 yard-party, COM
mencing at O'Clock. Go and see the ba-
bieS.

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE SHENASDoAH-VALLEY TRAGsDT-AP-
PLICATIoS FOR REspITE.-Governo hemper,
after a short absence, returned to the city
Saturday evening, and was called upon to
consider an application for respite for
Morris, who, with Shifflett, is sentenced to be
executed at Harrisonburg for murder to-
morrow (Tuesday). Up to IL O'Clock Sat-
urday night the Governor had taken no
decisive action in the premises.
The murdered man was David u. Law
son, fairly prosperous farmer who resided
near Blue Ridge mountain, in Rocklngham
county. Lawson had been unfaithful to his
wife, and she to him. Mrs. Lawson con-
ceived the purpose OF numbering her nus
band and acquiring the small property, con-
sisting OF land and stock, owned by him.
She called to her aid her brother (Silas
Morris) and one Burruss Williams. Nor
ris was to have as his pay the house and
four acres OF land Williams was to have
been pecuniarly recompensed, but he got
scared and withdrew from the conspiracy.
Morris, it is alleged, hired one Anderson
Shlfflett to do for him the work OF the &C.
casIon. Shifflett once tried to roll log
down on Lawson and thus kill him, but
failed. On another occasion he aimed his
gun at him and pulled the trigger, but the
cap did not explode. On the 18th March, as
Lawson was returning from the mill and
driving three-horse wagon, he was fired
upon from the rear and killed by Shfflett.
Mrs. Lawson's conduct at the time she
was informed Of the death OF her husband
excited some suspicion. Sam Hall, brother
OF the girl with whom Lawson had been in
innate, was employed by Mrs. Lawson on
the farm after the death Of Mr.. Lawson, and
he gained her confidence and learned all
about the murder, and caused the arrest and
subsequent conviction Of the guilty parties.
Such is one Of the many accounts OF this re-
voting murder.
After various proceedings in the courts
Morris and Shiflett were condemned to be
executed on the 25th OF September and
Mrs. Lawson on the 30th oil Octo-
ber Shiflett has wife and four
children. Mrs. Lawson has two children.
Shiffiett has made confession and placed it
in the hands OF minister who is attending
him. and it is stated that he exoncrates Nor
ris. At any rate. some Of the friends OF the
latter have feeble hope that the Governor
will respite him until the case can be farther
looked into.
