OCTOBER %, 1878. n
The funeral OF the late Robert Leslie took
| place this morning from the Tabb-Street
Presbyterian church, Rev. DR.. Witherspoon
officiating. Mr.. Leslie died in the eighty
fifth year OF his age, aud was about the
eldest citizen Of Petersburg. Hrs increasing
intirmitIcs and declining health had kept
him closely confined to his house for sew
eral years. Mr.. Leslie was one of our
weaIthiest citizens. and for great many
years was one OF our largest tobacco manu-
facturers.
In the Hastings Court to-day Judge Mann
set aside the verdict of the Jury in the case
OF Samuel Cuykendall, convicted Of unlaw-
full gaming, in dealing in game commonly
called policy or lottery. The motion for
new trial was very deliberately and ably
argued BIZ Major Stringfellow for the pris-
oner and Captain D. A. Hinton for the
Commonwealth. The law principle in
volyed was whether, under the statutes OF
Virginia, n lottery comes within the pur-
view Of unlawful gaming. The Judge de-
cided that it does not, and therefore set the
verdict Of the jury aside. In delivering his
opinion the Judge expressed the belief that
| the fact that it cannot be so classed is by
| reason OF an omission on the part OF the
| General Assembly in framing the law,
which should be remedied.
It is understood that steps will be taken
to induce the western eXcursionists shortly
to visit Richmond to come oter to Peters
burg. We have great many settlers from
the Northwest located in this section, and it
is designed to place before the excursionists
the advantages Of our section.
| The colored companies from Petersburg
who took part in the competitive drill
at Lynchburg yesterday returned home
| this morning. The prize OF the gold
medal awarded to the best drilled col
ored company in the State) was won
| by the Petersburg Guards, who are
| Justly proud OF the honor. The medal
! is very handsome one, and valued mt 500.
1t was presented to the Guards by Hon. j.
| Randolph Tucker. This is the second time
this distinction has been won by the
Guards.
| Edward Talley, the young man recently
arrested on the charge OF forging the names
| OF G. A. jackson d Co. and T. E. Stroud
| to orders for money, has been sent on to
the Hastings Court for Indictment and trial
on both charges.
A tournament and coronation ball will
take place tomorrow at Spring Grove, IN
Surry county. Fortv-three knights have
entered the list. If the weather is fair the
occasion will draw a large crowd from the
adjacent country. ROBIN ADA1R.

mile for maidens of all ages entrance, $40
nurse, S200-entrance money to the second
horse. Thirteen horses were named upon
the programme. and every one OF them put
in an appearance upon the course. Wlth
such field it was exceedingly difficult to
get a good start. Four times the flag was
dropped, and four times was the bakers
dozen of impatient flyers turned back for
another trial. At last the effort was sue
ccssful, and off they went like flash, the
Finesse tilly in the lead. Euterpe near
second. Patriot third, Middleton fourth, jet
fifth, Carrie Mac sixth, Guy seventh, sum
light eighth, Farley ninth. B'ondell tenth,
Franklin eleventh, Genet Murray twelfth,
and Ventilator last.
The FLY was soon passed by Euterpe,
Ventilator forging up to second place, ana
Carrie Mac taking the next place in order,
but by the time the half-mile post was reach
ed Carrie Mac had worked up to first, Sum
light running after her, followed by Eu-
terpe, who bad Farley at his tail, the rest
punched to such an extent that colorS could
not be distinguished. On they went to the
three-quarter pole without any change OF
moment in position. At the head OF the
stretch the FinesSe flly crept up, and for
n moment held the lead, but Sunlight took
it from her at the furlong-pole and came in
winner in 1:45t, two lengths ahead OF the
filly, Genet Murray third, Euterpe fourth,
Carrie Mac fifth, Franklin sixth, and Mid
dleton last. In the auction pools Genet
Murray sold for $40, Ventilator, Patriot,
Guy, and Carrie Mac SIS each, and the field
$50. The Paris pools paid for Sunlight

An Important Decision to National
Banks.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-Attorney-G Gen
eral Devens has oyerruled former decision
that national banks. in making up capital
subject to duty, may be permitted to deduct
United States bonds at their facc-value, and
now decides that they may deduct the
amount invested in such bonds not only at
their face-vaiue, but with premium added.
The opinion is expressed in the Treasury
that this decision will reopen fifty thousand
assessments made by the Treasurer since
the passage Of the national banking act, and
considerable money will be required to re-
fund erroneous duties collected from the
banks under the previous rulings.

PUNcTuRING GILLETTE's RoMANCE.-By
an article copied on the first page to-day il
will be seen that the lily-handed Gillette,
who never did days work of manual
labor in his life, is being heralded through
the East as ..the briek-laying congress
man, And it seems that his own father is
circulating the story, and with it still
queerer story, as told bin by his son, OF
low he made the canvass without money,
and how he paid his campaign expenses by
selling books and newspapers at his meet
ings. Here, where it is we'll known that
Gillette lives in as much style and luxury as
any man in Des Moines, and as to his two
$4,000 mortgages to provide funds for the
campaign are equally well known, these
stories sent east BY MIR. Gillette as to brick
laying and poverty will excite no little
amusement Des Moines (lotua) Register.
