REVIVAL IN WOODSTOCK From
the Shenandoah Herald of the 18th inst,
we learn that "a very interesting series
of meetings has been in progress in the
Presbyterian Church in Woodstock, I'M
der the Pastoral charge of Rev. R. H.
Fleming, assisted by Rev. - Wilson,
of Broadway. Meetings have been held
every night since the 14th Inst. The
congregations have been large and a
general feeling of interest is manifested
by all classes of the community. A large
number of persons have responded to
the invitations SO forcibly presented by
the ministers, and many have made pro-
fession of religion.

SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAY.-On
Tuesday night last difficulty occurred
at Mile Stump's, near the head of Little
river, in this county, between two young
men named Radford and West, when
Mr. James M. West, a brother of the one
in the fight, interfered for the purpose of
separating them. when he was attacked
by Joshua Radford, a brother of the 9TH
er party, who twice knocked him down
with rock and then stabbed him, the
knife striking just below the collar bone
on the right side, glancing down the
breast-bone and passing in between two
ribs, infiicting a very serious wound
We understand that the knife went
through to the hollow. No hopes are
entertained of his recovery, and his dy-
ing declaration has been taken. DR..
Stigleman was sent for and rendered all
the medical aid in his power. A war
rant was issued for the arrest of Radford,
but up to this time he has succeeded in
evading the vigilance of the officers aud
has not yet been arrested.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that Mr.. West is dead. Radford
ha. not been seen since the evening he
committed the crime.-Noyd Reporter,

RAILROAD ACCIDENT PREVENTED BY
A COLORED BOY.-We learn from the
Bedford Sentinel that, on Sunday night
of last week, a serious railroad accident
to passenger-train on the A. M. & o.
Railroad was prevented by colored boy
who discovered that large rock, weigh
ing Is or 20 tons, had rolled down upon
the track, whereupon he ran omeet the
coming train, vigorously waving his
handkerchief to apprise the engineer OF
danger. The Engineer saw him and
stopped the train just before it reached
the obstruction, which otherwise would
have cause a serious accident. That boy
should be rewarded for the service he
rendered.

SPEECH OF HON. J. RAN. TUCKER
The speech of Hon. J. r. Tucker, in
the House of Representatives, last Tues
day, in favor of the adoption of the
compromise plan, is spoken of as one
of the most perfect legal and constitu-
tional arguments ever delivered in Con-
gress, and was listened to with interest,
even by those opposed to the bill. In
concluding it he gave utterance to the
general sentiment Of the Southern demo-
crs4s, when he said that he supported tbs
bill mot exactly because it fulfilled his
preconceiyed idea about the tribunal to
be created for counting the electoral
vote, but because he conceived it essen
tial to the peace and happiness of the
country" Another remark he made
that will receive almost universal COM
mendation, even among republican, was,
that wherever the power and decision
might be reposed, it was clear that it
had not been deemed safe to entrust it
to the existing incumbent of the presi-
Dental office. To leave to him the de-
termination Of an election in which he
might be candidate, and to suppose
that it would be safe to intrust it to him,
was so foreign to the thoughts of the
trainers Of the constitution that his name
had not been mentioned in any of the
clauses concerning the presidential cleo
ton ~

PACKARD.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27th-9 P. M.
Specialize the Rich. Whig.-The re-
velations offraud by the returning board
in respect to changing the returns OF
Vernon parish are regarded as very dam
aging to the chances of Hayes. The
clerk who made the alterations in the
figures by order of the returning board
is here, and will swear to the fact. The
refusal of the returning board to produce
their papers after such fraud is proven,
will, it is thought, have great effect on
public opinion.
A great effort was made yesterday by
Kellogg, Marshal Pitkin, Congressman
Hale, and others to induce President
Grant to recognize the Packard govern
ment, but he stands by his position
Threats have been made by the conspira-
tors that they will ma Ike war on him ii
he does not yield.
The names of persons to fill the electo-
raj commission on part ofthe Senate and
House of Representatives are much dis
Gu ssed. 1t is believed that the Senate
will choose Edmunds, Howe, Morton,
Bayard, and Thurman.
In the House the Republicans have
agreed on Hoar and Garfield. The House
Democrats have not chosen their nomi-
nees, but it is generally thought Tucker
will be one. Messrs. Abbott of Massa-
chusetts, Cox of New York, Lynde of
Wisconsin, and McMahon Of Ohio, are
spoken of.

dering the Texas Pacific railroad, and if

SUCCESS OF HAMPTON'S GOVERN
MENT.-A Columbia Is. c. despatch says
that Gen. Hampton's government is
now nearly complete. The appointees
throughout the are in the main exercis-
ing the functions of their respective Of
fees and he is daily receiving the best
assurances of loyalty from the masses of
the people. Already under the call for
10 per cent. of last years tax levy,
Hampton's treasurer has received $685.
600, nearly half of the whole amount,
from nine counties only. The charita-
able institutions and penitentiary have
been provided for, the judges have been
paid their salaries, and the entire ma
chinery of government is in thorough
working order. Chamberlain's officials
are unable to collect taxes, and if the
company of U. S. troops now in the
State House was withdrawn the farce
of dual government would be ended.
The agents of the Hampton govern
ment report that the cplored psople are
paying promptly and in large numbers.
General Hampton says he has sought no
loan at the North and needs none.

Senator Conkling. towards the con-
clusion of his great speech in the Sen
ate, expressed the beiiefthat Gov. Hayes
was fairly elected, and that he wants to
secure him good title to the office of
President. That assertion divests the
speech of much of the judicial fairness
that would otherwise attach to it, for it
is the declaration of judge. But, pei
haps, Mr.. Conkling was NOV ed to
this utterance with view to avert
him ; for it has been charged that he is
sore-headed and does not care to see
Hayes inaugurated. Perhaps Mr..

Gov. Hayes home organ, the Repub-

nearly every Republican member of

the committee. This is significant.
Abiding to the subject, the Herdld's

Ohio men in both houses are conspicu-
Gus as the bitterest opponents of the bill.
They are getting letters from politicians
at home demanding that they shall OPP
pose the bill. but this device is appreci-
ated here, where it is remarked that
these politicians expect office from Mr..
Hayes, and, having been told that
the Vice President would certainly
count him in, they are not disposed to
run any risks"
