RepudlatlOn.

POWELL, the candidate for the Senate in
Louisa, Stafford, and SpotSylvania, was
bold, reckless, and vicious in his speech at
Louisa Courthouse. he declared the debt
not Just one. and while he vcntured to
conccde that his party, contrary to his con-
scientious convictions, were inclined to pay
som ethng, he made this declaration: " We
"mean, to repudiate every particle. except
"what we choose to give them for the sake
"of peace! "..,,.3 .~.,. .sr5t
Indeed How liberal! and how crafty.
ing such proclamation should be to the
"bloated bondholders - ., They viii! make
a great mistake to count much on that,
however. IL the 2unprincipied Readjust.
era, so called, dispose OF the public money
for the sisukc OF peace. they will take 1t
all themselves; for in no other way can
there be peace as long as they have say in
the matter. AS long as the State has money
and owes debt there can be no peace, un-
less, indeed, the people of Virginia at the
approaching election shall crush them with
defeat. The public debt will never be set
tied as long as they can prevent it. More
than once that has been nearly accomplish
ed; but whenever it has come to that the
leader of mischief and stirrer-up of public
discord has risen and dashed all our bright
prospects and ardent hopes and plunged
the Commonwealth into trouble.
What they choose to give! Why they
would giue nothing; but would rather tate
for the sake Of peace.
Let Stafford and Louisa and Spotsylvania
look after POWELL. We trust he will be duly
Negotiated before tile campaign is ended. 1t
would be an inefaceable stain upon some
of the most noble counties 10 be represented
by such man.

Ne,o Yort, September 1O.--,Mr. Nathan APP
pleton, of Boston, tonight delivered lee
ture at Chickering Hall, entitled GO Suez and
Panama" He paid high tribute to the
genius OF NJ. de Lesseps, and predicted that
under NJ. de Lesseps the canal across the
American Isthmus would be successfully
accomplished. It was calculated that the
canal would be finished within ten years at
a cost Of not over $500, 900, and that re-
ceipts would be S2l,000,000 yearly, thus
giving a good return on the outlay. 1t
would bring London and other European
ports several thousand leagues nearer TO
Sydney, the Sandwich Islands, and other
places. The lecturer was appaudcd fire.

The audiphone Is q new instrument in
vented by Chicago gentleman. who had
been deaf twenty years. It is intended to
enable deaf persons to hear through their
teeth. It IS made OF vulcanzad rubber,
and resembles good.sized fan. When
used, the person holding it simply touches
the upper edge OF the fan or audiphone
against the teeth Of the upper jaw. The in
ventor happened one day to hold his watch
between bis teeth, and noticed that lie could
distinctly hear it ticking, though when he
held it to his ear no sound was audible.
This set him to thinking and working. and
the result is the audiphonc. Mr.. Medill,
editor OF the Chicago Tribune, who has
been deaf for number Of years, says not
only dSes the audiphone answer when en-
gagged IN conversation with person who is
foot or q few feet from him, but it answers
perfectly at concert.
A new post-office is established at Land
mark, Fauquer county, Va, on the route
from Middleburg to the Plains, with Milton
Zimmerman as postmaster. John Ii. Aults

that ii any offence had been committed it

Captain George d. Wise made one of his
most powerful speeches in opposition to
the motion. Among other reasons given
was that there was q very much graver
charge than this hanging over Mr.. Wren,
and would probably be fully developed in
a day or two; also, that 1t could not yet be
said whether their offence here was felony
l.or misdemeanor. He was very severe in
his denuuciation, OF the conduct OF the ac-

It seems that the check containing the
forged endorsement was turned over by Mr..
Bodeker to Mr.. G. E. Redford, and the in
formation OF the Commonwealth's Attor-

been torn up. However, the Common
wealth's Attorney thinks that will not pre-
vent conviction should the fugitive be Sc
cured, as he probably will be for by this

informed Of his escape. 49,.
THE OTHER CHECK.
1t has been ascertained that Mr.. D. Ri
card, an English gentleman residing near
here, cashed for young Redford check for

carry him to A Australia, where he desired to
