PERSONALS.
correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.]
DECEMBER 20, 1878.
Mr.. Andrew Robinett, a prominent and
well-known citizen OF Chesterfield county,
died at his residence iu Ettrick this morn
ing. He was stricken with paralysis two or
three days ago-a second attack-Whlch
caused his death. Deceased was master
mechanic, and had general supervision OF
the building Of the bridges along the At
lantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad. He
was upwards of fifty years OF age and leaves
family.
The friends OF Bishop Pierce in Virginia
will be glad to hear that he has recently
much improved in health. After leaving
Petersburg. and while presiding over the
North Carolina Conference at Charlotte, he
took severe cold, which resulted in pneu-
monia, and from which he was seriously Ill.
A letter received here to-day from Sparta,
Ga, states that he has so far recovered as to
be able to walk about.
The Petersburg Odd-Fellows are warm
in .heir praises Of the generous hospitality
extended to them last night by their breth-
rem of Richmond and Manchester, and OF
the splendid banquet spread in their honor.
Another instaIment OF orphan boys
twenty-five in number-sent South by the
New York ChiIdren's Aid Society, passed
through this city yesterday to Burkeyile,
where homes were provided in advance for
them among the farmers OF the vicinity.
Upwards OF two hundred boys, between the
ages OF twelve and eighteen years, have
been sent to Southside Virginia by this So
ciety, and all put to teamwork. Generally
speaking, they have given satisfaction. but
there have occurred exceptions, where the
bows turned out badly and ran of, probably
going back home.
Rev. Hugh c. Smith. late Of the Rich
mond College, will preach bis maiden SER
mon at the First Baptist church in this city.
A called meeting OF the First Baptist
church will be held Sunday morning, after
worship, to receive communication from
Rev. DR.. Eaton relative to his call to Nash
vile.
A big excursion party from North Caro-
lima, filing fifteen coaches, will arrive here
tomorrow morning. Most OF the eXcur-
sionists will combine business with pleasure
and make their Christmas purchases while
in the city. ROBIN ADA1R.

that have OF late SO engroSscd the pubic

In this section of the State the oats are

men has very much Increased, and 1t IS salo
that the ms begin to quake and fear.

All must retrench, live more economically,
and make sacrifices for the public good. We
predict lively time in the spring. and the
most exciting election in our State since
1852.
Within the last few weeks several OF our
most respectable and prominent citizens
have died; among them Captain Martin
Spencer, who during long and useful life
held many positions OF honor and trust IN
this county, and Mr. Joseph Winblsb, an
estlmable and useful man. And Captain
Fowlkes G.. Smith, long citizen OF this
county, having held various honorable

PATRICK COUNTY.

s1.1t5s" DECEMBER 6, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: Great dissatisfaction
exists in this county on account Of the re-
cent action of Judge Rives in setting aside
the proceedings Of Judge TredWay lately
entered in our Circuit Court in cases Of
Lee and Burwell Reynolds (colored), tried
for the murder Of A. q. Shelton. These
violators OF our penal law have been twice
tried in this county. by intelligent and i'm
partial iuries, and to all appearance had as
fair bearing as we ever witnessed, and
they were defended with great earnest
ness and ability by counsel unsurpass-
ed in this section Of the State. The
proceedings had, and the yerdicts rem
dered, have already been correctly reported
in your paper. We fear that the United
States Judge acted uIwisely, certainly I'M
fortunately, for the colored man. His course
will be construed into reflection upon the
iuries OF our country and the high Integrity
OF as learned and as -a-minded Judge as
sits in Virginia or any other State. Wlii not
this be regarded as fatal stab ut the DOC
trine OF State rights The verdicts OF our
iuries aud the decisions OF State Judges
will have no binding effects, and all tue
boasts of peace and reconciliation, ana
the healing up the painfui sectlonai
wounds, nothing worth. FromAtbe hlgh
character OF Judge Riyes, MS assoclatlon.
and his conceded ability and fairness, we
sincerely hope that he will eXtrlcate MIN.
self from the dilemma that he has, TO all ap,
pearance, brought upon himself, remove oil
cnuse OF alarm or censure, and III the future
prosecution Of this now grave and import
ant matter commit no act, render no iudg-
ment, that will bring reproach upon his
judicial ermine, or blur or darken in his
declining years the bright halo that sur
rounds the illustrious name he bears.
The compromise OF our railroad suit,
lately pending in the United States Court at
Danyilie, as reported by your correspondent
from said town, was rather one-sided az
fair. We fear our attorneys acted hastily in
that matter. Weswili not complain, as we
are not acquainted with all the facts In the
case or the circumstances operating upon
those gentlemen entering into The agreement
about viewing the matter from our stand.
