; Editors Dispatch: Yesterday evening the
leading ladies OF the community gave an

cially deserving OF mention was that OF
Miss r. H, who, by the faultless manner
in which she performed her part, exhibited
a talent for the stage very rarely met with,
which called forth round after round OF aI'-
plause. The whole affair was an entire sue
cess, and quite handsome sum was realized;
The excitement in politics is great, aud
still increasing. Among the many aspirants
for the Legislature, Messrs. Samuel Adams,
B, w. L. Blanton, and Colonel Randolph
Harrison are the prominent ones. The
nomination will be made next Monday Jour
County Court-day).
The nomination OF MIR. Samuel +. Cole
man. by the Farmyllle Convention gives
universal satisfaction. He is clear-headed
and able lawyer, large farmer, and, in
word, the best man we could have for
senator. ...H
The recent heavy rains damaged consider
ably the corn and tobacco crops. The
farmers have finished cutting the latter
crop, and are busy seeding wheat. ,,

WENDELL. PHILLIPs's EXPLANATION OF THEIR
MISUNDERSTANDING.

BosToN, October 1S.-Wendell Phillips,
in Il lecture at Newton tonight, took up the
cudgels in behalf Of the late Senator Sum-
ner, and asserted that President Grant was
intoxicated when he had the conversation
with Mr.. Sumner, which led to his charg-
ing the Senator with lying. lie culoglzed
Sumner, and gave the following account OF
the affair: Senator Sumner received from
the hands of President Grant the treaty OF
San Domingo, and, after examining it for
one dav, returned it to President Grant, and
urged reconsideration Of the action OF the
administration. The President listened in
sullcn silence. A gentleman who was pres
cnt, who has been in Washington for forty
wears, and who came away with Senator
Sumner, said. as they came down the stairs
OF the Executive mansion: "What is the
matter with Grant? Do you think he I'M
derstands you:" 81 should think he.
might" replied Mr.. Sumner. ono, he
does not" was the response. "He is in no
state to understand anything" off Grant
never hcard,' continued Phillips, "that
Sumner took back, i'll the chamber OF the
White. House, the courteous pledge that he
trusted to have the pleasure OF supporting
the Administration, it was because his brain
refused to perform its office. He is no
Judge OF the veracity Of the Senator from
Massachusetts" -Ne,o York. Tribune.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
OCTOBER 20, 1877.
The Circuit Court has been in session for
ten days past-Judge Shackelford presiding.
The business has been mostly Of civil
character and generally uninteresting.
Rev. f. c. Gordon, OF Savannah, Ga, has
been holdin" 4 series OF meetings this Week
at the Presbyterian church. There is a pro-
liability that he will be called to the pas
toratc OF the church. Rev. w. ii. Will
lams, Dastor-elect OF the Baptist church,
who was expected to be present last Sum
day, has been detained by sickness in his
family, and will not be with the church
until some time in November. Rev. Mr..
Saunders, who preached so acccptaby FOR
this church recently, has been called to take
charge OF the Second church in LynchburS
during the session OF the University. He
goes up on Saturdays and returns on Mon
DAYS. The Lynchburg people will likely
retain him permanently.
Large numbers of robins, bred in this Vi
cinity during the past summer, have been
observed for several days high III the air,
making their way due south. This is sup
posed to auguR near cold weather.
For the past ten OF twelve days the wea-
thcr has been beautiful, and some days In
tensely hot in the sun. The late rains
brought out the grass, and the fields now
present beautiful appearance.

test between the independents and the reg

The colored people, not having ticket OF

pcndents. Mr.. Lcake has withdrawn from
The field, and George w. billiard has again
come to the front as Il candidate for the sem
atorship. Mr. Massey, however, has nothing
TO fear from this quarter. 1t puzzles the
most sagacious TO foresee what the end OF
all this will be. The independents and part
OF the regulars are readiusters; and, THIS
being apparently the only issue. the ques-

Correspondence OF the Richmond Di>patch.I
OCTOBER 20, 1877.
We had information Yesterday evening
that Robert Harris, who lived near Iris
burg. in Henry county, beat bis wife to
death on the night OF the 18th instant. con-
ccaled her BODY, and made his escape. y
Mr.. Richardson had gone with him home
10 supper that evening, and they were
>Dcndln" the time not unpleasantly, al
though Harris WAS under the influence OF
liquor: but al OF Il sudden Harris became
cnragcd at some act oil common courtesy
shown to Richardson by Mrs. Harris, and
commenced beating Richardson furiously.
lie would probably have killed Richardson
but for the interference OF Mrs. Harris.
After the escape OF Richardson, Mrs. 1Iar-
ris was driven away and made to
stay out till about 70 O'Clock. About
10 O'Clock she returned to the house
to look after her baby. which was
then about five weeks old, and then Harris
killed her hy crushing her skull with stone
or piece OF timber. After killing her he
dragged the body Oft about three hundred
wards, concealed il, and returned to the
house and spent the balance OF the night.
The next morning he gave out that Mrs.
Harris had gone visiting, and that he was
going to bring her home: and he has not
been heard Of since. Aftcrabout two days
the ncighbor> suspected what had been
done, and search was made and the body
was found.
1t is said that Harris and his wife got on
very we'll together except when Harris was
drinking. They had had six children.
When Harris was under the influence OF
liquor he would sometimes beat his wife,
and this the neighbors knew; and consc-
quently when the cries OF Mrs. Harris were
heard on the night when the murder was
committed nobody intcrfercd. Richardson,
so ] am told. says he heard her cries, but
lie was afraid to go to the house. Mrs. Har-
riS was good woman, and had never given
her husband any cause for reSenting such
poltcne>s rs she showed towards Richard
son. 1t seems that she had only inquired
how his arm was, which had been broken,
and that he thanked her for some banda9cS.
Harris's iather Or. Har:is) is said to be a
very respectable old gentleman, OF Henry
county. ALPHA.
