Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
PROSPECT, VA, January /, 1877.
The new year has begun its existence
amid cold blasts OF wind and playful flakes
OF snow. The storm drives from the north
east, the quarter from which we usually get
protracted rains and deep SHOWS. For more
than month the 7ground has been covered
in northern exposures with snow. The ice
season has been unusually good, lasting
OF December; yet many persons, from causes
best known to themselves, have not filed
their icc-houses. The danger OF riding on
horse back has been very great Mt times.
The report that went the rounds in, the
papers concerning the mishap Of our
county Judge in falling from his horse,
and breaking his iaw-bcnc and knock
ing out three Of his teeth, caused
many Of our cquestrians to be- very
cautious how they yentured in smooth
places. II it be any consolation to the
Judge in his misfortune he can indulge the
belief that by his fall he may have saved the
neckS OF some OF his friends. There was,
by the way, an eXaggeration OF the incident.
The Judge did fall, and happily no bones
were broken. Some accomplished wit gave
as a reason why the public prints took so
much notice of the broken iaw-b0nc was
that the people felt that they could not do
without the Judges ja,c.
Much anxiety is felt amongst the people
as to what will he the final result OF the
choice for President; and it is generally
believed that the present system OF voting
by ballot is the source Of all our troubles,
and there is universal desire to abandon
the same and return to the old method OF
riud-uoce elections. The present incum-
bent IN the highest Office in the gift OF the
people affords striking example OF the
utter incapacity Of military man
in the chair Of q statesman; and it may be
asserted that in the present instance Whate-
yer OF fame he acquired on the field has been
lost in the biunders and corruptions in the
presidential career. It is to be regretted
that men Of position in the Conservative
party in this county have given too much
aid and comfort to the leading men Of the
Radical party. The object seems to be to
conciiate favor, but where no favor is re-
ciprocated nothing is gained. When the
tug comes disappointment also comes.
Black and white Radicals fatten yearly
upon the benefits derived from the kindness
of good Conservatives, while men true and
loyal of their own party must make their
support as best they can. In the matter OF
politics, as in religion, he who does not pro-
vide for his own household is worse than
an intidel 1t is to be hoped that q more
rigid system may prevail hereafter in regard
to this important matter. H|TT.

THE SILENCE OF THE DEMOCRATS ON THE PRE-

SIONERS, &c. ~
from Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. January 6, 1S77.-The long
silence OF the Democrats upon the questions
involved in the presidential controversy
will be broken in few days. So far the
only aggressive politicians have appeared on
the Republican side, and the conspirators
have apparently succeeded in the mean time
in impressing the country that Hayes will
be inaugurated ut any cost. and the army
will sustain the movement after the manner
of its use recently in some States. The
fear that war would follow the inaugu-
ration of Tilden affects the bondholding
and moneyed classes, and among them,
therefore, the conspirators are cultivating
the idea that the Inauguration of Hayes
means peace. Until the Democrats actively
assume the aggressive no Republicans-if
there are any disposed to give Tilden fair
show-will be likely to declare against the
Chandler conspiracy. OF this class the
House Democrats are assured there are not
few in the House; but nobody is willing
to name them now.
The House members Of the Committee on
Electoral Count held another meeting to-
day. and members intimate that so far the
prospect of agreeing upon some measure
acceptable to both parties is promising; but,
being under injunction of secrecy, they de-
cline to indicate the basis Of the probable
agreement. No meeting of the Joint CON-
mittee as whole will he held until one or
the other divisions has agreed upon some
definite proposition to present.
About third of the members and some
OF the attaches Of the West Virginia Legis-
laturc-which meets next Wcek-arriyed in
the city this morning and visited the House
in body. They are en- route for the capt.
tai of their State, and have been forced
around this way by the severe weather. :
Mr.. Cox, OF New York, has returned,
leaving his committee in Philadelphia to
investigate the election frauds in that city.
Colorado was on the rack again to-day. A
bill, in which it was named as the State of
Colorado, was objected to on the ground
that the House had not recognized it as a
State. The Speaker did not rule upon that
point but the bill was laid aside by decision
OF a further point. She will figure as an
element in the discussion of the presidential
controversy.
There is some talk privately Of abolishing
the academy at West Point, but the propo-
sition is not likely to be seriously enter
tanned, though the proposed annual appro-
priation for the support OF the academy is
considerably reduced.
The removal Of the District Police Com
missioners by the President is developing
into first-class sensation. 4 resolution to
investigate the charge that the commits
sioners have been in the pay of the gam
blcrs has been prepared, and will lie offered
in the House early next week. 1t is rrl-
mored that the President will nominate his
friend Colonel Mosby as one Of the new
Board.

There was curious scene at the gam
bling tables at Monaco the other day. A
number of pilgrims. most Of them from
England and Ireland, had arrived there en-
route for Rome, and good many of them
strolled into the Kursaal to watch the
gamesters. One enthusiastic pilgrim took
upon himself to improve the occasion, and
commenced homily on the sin of gamb.
ling. Waxing somewhat offensively per-
sonal in his remarks, he was requested to
withdraw, but declined to do 80, declar-
ing he had a mission from Heaven to
purge Monaco of its vice. The attend
ants then proceeded to eject him, when
the homilist suddenly drew revolver and
fired full at the manager of the rooms,
but fortunately missed him. NJ. Blanc,
the proprietor of the gambling tables,
himself devoted son of the Holy Church,
ON learning that the misdemeanant was a
pilgrim, magnanimously refused to hand
hlm over to the police, but permitted
him to return to his hotel and depart
with his fellow-pilgrims for tho Holy
City.

Tea Drinking in England and Russia

From Cassells Magazine.
English families, even ON the conti-
nent, are steadfast to tea. It is 4 neces-
sity. They will take coffee if You wish,
Or in addition, but the urn with the spirit
lamp-what the French call "la march
ine"--is necessary to the notion of prop
er breakfast table. The Russians come
next to us in the matter of consumption,
but they are more fastidious. With
them it is quality rather than quantity.
They have dainty palate for the infu-
sion, and drink it delicately out of little
egg-shell cups, favored with lemon juice; ;
for sugar and cream would be too gross
for palates 80 fastidious. Their method
of taking it is Luxurious, and as luxury
they are content to pay for it. It comes
to them overland, packed in little quarter
and haif-pound packages, made up in
lead paper. twined and sealed with the
seal of the Chinese export, and wrapped
in papers decorated with quaint Japa-
ncse figures, handpaintcd, and in their
way quite works Of art. Such tea will
be sixteen or twenty shillings pound
often very much more. 1t will he des-
ccration to let milk or sugar touch it.
The flavor of it is quite peculiar. We
are accustomed to the tea that has had
the beneft-or, at all events, the expert
ence-of sea voyage. For it is a curl
GUS thing that the voyage tells on it. We
know how Madeira is priced that has
been all around the world. 1t would
SC EN- that similar circumnavigation has
an effect similarly on tea. 4 cargo that
has been to England fetches an extraor-
dinary high price in China or Japan.

RUSSIA'S WAR WITH TURKEY.

A dispatch from Erzeroum, dated on
the 1st, says the siege of Kars was raised on
that day, and that the Russian forces arc now
retreating towards the frontier. The sortic
from Kars that dav is represented as one OF
the most bloody and desperate struggles of
the war. The Turks fought with great gal
lantry. The damage they inflicted was i'm.
mense. In the battle of seewin, which also
took place the same day, the Russian loss was
about 1000 men. The Turks are greatly Ella
ted over their success, and represent that the
Russians arc in an utter state of damoraliza-
ton. Tirnova, which is an important point
from which several roads radiatc, is in the
possession Of the Russians. All able bodied
Bulgarians have been summoned to present
themselves at the Russian camps to be organ
lied into fo1ce for their own protection in
the future. The British feet arrived in Bcsika
bay July 3rd. The rumor that it will come
to Constantinoplc Is erroneous. No request
for authority to come cas- been preferred by
England. Admiral Hornby is, however, ex-
pected there.
An official dispatch of the 5th announces
that the Dobrudscha is completely cleared Of
Turks as far as Trajans wall. The Russians
continue to cross tho Danube uninterruptedly
day and night According to intelligence
from high sources, the Russian army at Ba-
toum, after several engagements has been
broken up. The fragments arc retreating in

was killed. 1t appeared in the evidence
that there were few seconds during the
crack of timbers before the roof fairly
came down, and in that brief time, in
those few beats of the pulse, "Gentleman

next day they found him with his right
