Correspondence of the Richmond Dspatchl
CUu.EsRURG, Va, October 8, 1877.
The rain OF last Thursday was the heaviest
that has fallen in this section for many
wears. The streams were very high, and
many farmers had a part OF their crop Of
corn and fodder carried off by the freshets.
The tobacco was much damaged by the wind.
There has been two slight frosts, but not
enough to iniure anything.
On Saturday night as James =. Wood,
ESQ, our deputy sheriff, was returning
home from a neighbours house lie was
struck severe blow on the head by club
in the hands Of some unseen party. The
blow stunned him, and when lie recovered
he found that the ruiiian had ritled his peck
cts OF S205 and many valuable papers. \
negro has been arrested on suspicion as tho
pcrpetrator of the outrage.

elected the entire ticket in Lucas county b!
maiorities ranging from 200 TO 800. In TN:
city their majority is upwards OF l,0oo
Sturgeon and Kellogg, the newly elected
representatives, have hitherto acted Will
the Republicans. The result is q surprise
to all parties, and to none more than to the
Nationals themselves. !.
COLUMBUS, October 10.-There is scarcely
any excitement to learn the definite figures
! Of Yesterdays election. Both committees
co ucede that Bishops majority will be be-
TIVE, N Il, 900 and $4,000. The Democratic
comm. ittee claim that they will have between
thirts arc forty on joint ballot in the Gen
eral 4ssel pbly, and the Republican commit
tee do not dispute this claim.
RJsHop's MATURITY NOT LESS THAN %, 600
PROBABLY 10000.
CoLUsBcs, OHI.7, October 10.-The Re
publican Committee have received very
little news to-day, an d all political informa-
tion has to be obtained from Democratic
headouarters- The Democratic state com.
mittee I'D to this hour have what are called
official returns from just one hall OF tue
counties Of the State, aid these sho"
Democratic gain over the vote OF Last year
of 1856. Taking this a. basis, tney
claim that Bishops majority cannot 1all De,
low $4,000, and they think the fuli otnciai
count will give hszn $4,000 or 3O,ooo ma
iority.
In the absence OF definite information the
Republican Committee concede bishops
election by $4,000. The Democratic Com
mittee's figures on the General Assembl y
are as follows: In the House the Demecrats
will have sixty-seven members; Repuell-
cans, thirty-nine, and Nationals or WORK
ingmen, three. Democratic majority
twenty eight. In the Senate the Democrats
will have twenty-five members and the Re-
publicans ten. Democratic majority, fifteen.
This will give the Democrats forty-one ma
iority on joint ballot.
: 1t is not likely full official count will ma
terially change the legislative maiorities
claimed-not more than two or three at
most. -
There is no excitement in the city to-
night and no crowds about the hcadquar-
tiers OF either partys
Dies MONIES. October 10.-The Republi-
can majority is 10000, and the Legislature
is in proportion.

THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS.
fSpecial to the Baltimore Americana
HARRIsoNBuRG, VA, October GA tele-
-ram from Judge Fivcs to Colonel A. >
GRAY, United States marshal, states that Il
severe attack OF rheumatism Will prevent his
holding court here, which was TO commence
to-day. There i, not one word or truth IN
the rumor that Judge Rivcs had an attack
OF paralysis. The fall term OF the United
States Court has been indefinitely post
poncd.
The many sensational stories telegraphed
from here to the New York Herald in re-
ference 10 the reddi listers are greatly mag
niiicd. To those familiar with the facts they
are not worth contradicting; but as Nir-
tlnia bonds are suffering somewhat 1t may
De proper that the sum and substance OF the
subject be stated rs it is. There are several
candidates for the Legislature who are using
this hobby to ride to Richmond on-only
this and nothing more. The people OF this
Vailey-at all events, very large majority
OF thcm-emphatically repudiate repudla-
ton. You will, after the November cleo
ton, hear no more OF "forclbe readl ust-
Ient." The man Richardson, from South
west Virgins, has written letter to the
bakers dozen OF discontents here, stating
tDat II Tue ~ lcntu LcSloA Saooooe " WV
for him for LieutenantGo they are
privileged to do so.
Silas Morris and Louisa Lawson, sen.
fenced to be hanged October 23d and 3Oth
for the murder OF David G. Lawson, con-
tinue to assert their innocence. 1t is thought
that Governor Kemper will respite Morris
until the Both. The effort to obtain COM
mutation for Mrs. Lawson is not generally
approved OF here. The people here con-
tend il she was man enough to commit the
crime she ought to be man enough to suffer
the penalty.

FUNDS FOR CHURCH PURPOSES.
BosToN, October 10.-The proceedings in
the Convention were mostly preliminary.
DIR. White, of Tennessee, said be desired
in the form OF resolution to obtain the
expression Of the Convention in relation to
the improper instrumentalities which were
used Tor the purpose OF raising money to
dcfray church expenses. He disapproved

fairs, rafles, and all such. He thought these
things were demoralzins.

At the Cabinet meeting Tuesday there
was considerable discussion on the contro-
yersy between the Southern and racine
railroads in regard to the bridge over tne
Colorado river at Fort Yuma. The bridge
leads the road upon military reservation
and the military authorities stopped the ope-
rotions OF the road across the reservation:
The Texas Pacific opposes the granting OF
the privilege because similar favor was re-
;fnsed to that road some time ago. The whole
matter will berreferred to Congress.
