A WASHINGTON PARTY IS SURPRISED BY BEING
FIRED UPON by SHERlFF's POSSE.
A number OF Sunday pleasure-seekers
from the District, who landed on the Nir-
ginia shore, near the Arlington estate. yes
terday afternoon, were surprised by very
warm reception. ThePe were two separate
parties OF Washington men, numbering to-
gcther about n dozen: They stopped at a
point on the shore where there is spring
to get some drinking-water. While they
were lettering on the shore 4 volley OF shot
was poured into them from the ridge OF
neighboring hill. Some OF the Washington
party ran. and the rest were too much
frightened.
The enemy, consisting OF about forty col
ored men, armed with guns and pistols,
then showed themselves and rushed after
the retreating Washingtonians with yell.
They succeeded in capturing the whole
party, although one OF them escaped as far
as the Long bridge and another dived under
the water and tried to stay there until the
black regiment had swept by. The secret
OF the sudden attack was then made known
The colored men formed a sheriE's posse.
An effort has been made by the county
authorities to keep city roughs from dis
turbins the peace on the Sabbath. Crowds
very frequently go over there from the city
to fight or engage in pastimes unsuited to
the day. The sheriff thought he would
break the thing up. tits customary for Of
ficers in the city to try to make arrests be-
fore fling upon crowd. The action OF
the sheriff's crowd seems rather strange.
Fortunately nobody was seriously injured,
the only person wounded having received
three shots in the cheek. The arrested
party was taken before a neighboring ma
gistratc, and nearly ali Of them were re-
leased Washington Republican, 18th.

September 16.-The story telegraphed from
here to one of the Baltimore papers to the
effect that the condemned murdererS. Shift
flett and Morris, who are to be executed on
the 25th instant, had confessed their crime,
is not true.
Judge O'Ferrell says that no confession
has been made to him by either Shifflett or
Morris, as was asserted in the dispatch re-
ferred to- Morris says he is innocent. Shit

made by the former companions of the con-
demned this precautionary measure was
deemed necessarily Baltimore american.

SENATOR NIoRToN's CONDITI0N.-Rich-
mond, Ind., September 15.-Io the Editor
Of the Herald: There has been no material
change in Senator Morton's condition in the
past week. His physician believes he has
passed the crisis. and while the Senator is
still very weak the physician in attendance
believes he will recover. His appetite has
not yet returned. and it is not expected that
he will gain strength rapidly until he is
able to take substantial nourishment. His
mind has never been impaired in the least,
and he listens to the reading OF the leading
New York, Cincinnati, and indianapolis
papers each day. He takes deep interest
in public affairs, and comments freely upon
what is read to him. 1t is not expected
that he will recover rapidly, but his physi-
clan believes he will be able to be in Wash
ington at the opening OF the regular session
OF Congress i'll December.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
BURNT ORDINARY, Va
September IA, 1877.
Although the loss OF the mails by the
James River route has greatly interrupted
our facilities for news, no doubt you have
privately heard OF the doings of our Will
liamsbllrg Convention last W cdnesday. But
there are some things in this connection
which may still be OF interest to your read
crs. After Il rather laboriouS and not alto
gcther harmonious session DR.. r. A. Wise
was put In nomination for the House OF
DELEGATES. and Mr.. j. +. Hubbard was pro-
cceding to support DR.. W. II. Shield for the
same office in speech OF great power,
when DR.. Wise, interrupting, with marked
unSelti>hncss and magnanimity, withdrew
his own name and substituted that OF Mr..
Hubbard. 1t was speedily seconded by Mr..
Warren. and though ballots had been dis
trihutcd for the purpose OF voting, they
We're thrown To the winds. Men arose to
their feet. and amid the widest enthusiasm
Mr.. Hubbard was forced TO accept the nomi-
nation.
So soon rs this Convention had adjourned
the Senatorial Convention convened, and
was called to order by DR.. Martin, county
superintendent Of James City. Upon call
ing the roll all the counties were found to
he present except Charles City. DR.. r. II.
Power, of York, and Mr.. &. NJ. Peek were
put in nomination. The secretary had not
finished calling the vote before it became
apparent that Mr.. Peek, OF the sea-girt
county of Elizabeth City, was the son OF
fortune, when Williamsburg changed her
vote, and the gentleman who nominated
DR.. Power moved that Mr.. Peek be unani.
mously declared the nominee OF the Con-
rention, and the motion was carried amid Q
whirlwind of excitement and storm OF
applause.
After adjournment, Mr.. Hubbard, Mr.
Segar, Of Hampton, and others, addressed
one Of the happicst audiences Of which
have ever been one. Everybody seemed
to be pleased with the nominees and to an.
ticipate sure and easy victory.
We have perhaps never before had so
many cases Of ague and fever as are now in
this county. We have once or twice lately
bankrupted the stores OF quinine.
The late rains have damaged deal Of fod-
der, but benefited turnips, potatoes, DC
Our prospect for corn is good.
