August II, 1880.
The eighty-ninfh annual session OF The
Portsmouth Association is now being held
at this place. and such crowd one rarely
sees. Three hundred persons came In on
an excsrson train yesterday, and hundreds
more came by private conyeyances. Every
thing is on grand scale, even the giving.
Fifteen hundred dollars were raised for State
missions alone in few minutes. There are
twenty-five preachers present, besides FRO
fessOr j. Il. Ayerctt, Of Danvllle; Kew. =.
II. Bailey, OF Raleigh, y. c.; Professor b.
Puryear, OF Richmond College; Professor

Yesterday. When the AttOrney-General OF
Virginia closed an address OF great power
on foreign missions, an old brother SAID
"If he amt q preacher he ought to be-"
CAPTAIN j. II. Wright il moderator and

Tragedy i'm New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, August 20.-Edwin c.
Mix, Jr., aged tbirty-two, was killed to- day
BY the three Derance brOthers-Fcrdinand,
Armand. and Henri. The Derances, after
being imprisoned, declared that MIX had
frted with their young sister. Although
warned he bad not desisled, but continued
TO follow the young lady. Mix, with his
brother Franklin, vert to-day to the resi-
dence OF the Derances to explain matters.
Both were unarmed. They failed, how
ever, to convince the Derauces, and when
leaving were followed to the street, where
two OF the brothers opened fire on Edwin
C. Nix. He attempted to flee, but was shot
down, when Henri, the youngest OF the
Derance brothers, ran up and stabbed him
several times with a dirk. Mix leaves a
wife and widowed mother. His brother
Franklin, who was present at the killing,
was on the 18th instant married to a daUgh.

Referring TO the terrible ordeal through
which be passed 4 few years since, when

most "accidenla' manner, Mr.. Beecher
broke out in a sort Of "by-tbe-way form,
and said he: Speaking about my expert

might say remarkable, offers received few
years ago. At certain period in my life,
which YOU no doubt we'll remember, was
offered by a sort Of syndicate who was in

my time, including Sundays, for the space
of twelve months. They offered to pay me
$50, 900 in advance. aud the remaining
Sl50,000 in twelve equal monthly install
ments."
We naturally exclaimed, What temp
talion."
"Not a bit Of it," he replied. "Do you
suppose | would go about the country like
a monkey one year for 5000, 900, or Tor any
other sum OF money? This was only one
OF a score Of offers received. p. T..Bar-
nun offered me $4,000 il | would lecture

The Assistant Republicans.

The Stanton Yindicator furnishes an in
fercsting account OF the Republican Con-
eressiopal Convention held last week in
Charlottesville. From that account we
dearn that some OF the leaders made no Sc
cret OF the fact that they regarded the Ma
HONE men as their allies in effect though not
in name. One white delegate said to a ne.
gro as reason why no nomination for Con-
grtss ought to be made:
"Wbile colleague: But you are acting
for the best interests of the Republican
party when you take advantage Of this div-
sion TO help the opponents OF the Demo-
cracy.'"
Ex. Senator LEWIS, on taking his seat as
permanent president OF the Convention,
said:
"The name OF one OF his old friends had
been mentioned as a candidate for Con-
cress, and il he could be elected he (Mr.
Lewis would be willing TO pay $500 out OF
bis own pocket. And why do oppose
him! said TO him only yesterday, 'They
only put you up TO knock you down. and
that Is playing into the hands OF the Demo-
cratic party, and that is something l will
never do. The Democrats want us to NOM
iuate a candidate so as TO unite their fac
tions. l don't care who You vote for.
Paul or Apollos or the d, so you vote
for Garfield and Arthur"
john DIcKERsoN (colored), Of Albemarle,
said:
ali he went part OF the way towards be-
ing ReadlusteT he would go all the way.
The ReddjuSter party got into pO,oer by aid
of the Republicans. aud II we are going TO
them let us be Readiusters. Don't let's
stand on one mans land and work another
mans land"
A voice What harm has the ReSdiuster
party done usl
MIR. Dickerson 1t has placed you this day
10 such position that you are afraid 10 make
nomination. [Great applause.l
A colored delegate from Augusta said:
awe have the balance OF power; zoe used
at once for the RedduSterS and gave them
the First, Second, and Third districts OF
the state, and for II got the cleaning OF their
spittoons." Laughter and applause.1
WESLEY ELLIOTT. Of Staunton, said:
"Tbese fellows call themselves Readjust-
ers. Pm Republican, aud am with the
Readjusters as far as not paying the debt
goes. / don't want to pay id cent OF
it. [Great Iaughtcr.] The negroes OF Wiz.
ginia are with the Readtusters in not pay
ing the debt"
Captain E. w. Early [senator said TO

crats] opposed nomination, and said these
Rexdiu,tefs are playing the ! art OF assistant
Republicans, and taat is the long and short

BufIer for Hancock.

BY telegraph TO The New ork IflDune.I
BOsTON, August 19.-lt was announced
in the Democratic State Committee meeting
tonight that General Butter, IN his forth
coming speech, will declare for Hancock.
The announcement was applauded, but ii
caused no surprise here, as II was generally
expected that General Butler would come
out for the Democracy, now that the Green
back party is practically dead. IL was also
said that he would speak in the doubtful
State in the interest Of Hancock. As II had
already been stated that he would speak for
the Fusionists in Maine, this assertion may
not be regarded as news. The Republicans
as body may be said 10 he pleased wit the
announcement. which removes all DISCUSSES
and places General Butler in bis true light.
The impression is that General Butler will
be rewarded by the Democratic nomination
for Governor.
Boston Advertiser.J
MIR. Wright stated TO the committee, but
did not say whether he did so with authori.
ty, that General Butler would announce In
FaDeuil Hall. OH Saturday, August 18th, bis
intention OF supporting the Democratic
candidates for President and Vice -Presi-
dent. and working In harmony with all who
favored the election OF Hancock and Eng
lisb. Mr.. Wright also stared tbat bNtier
was under engagement To give his services
for the Democratic candidates during the
campaign in doubtful States. In conse-
quence OF these things Dir. Wright asked
the committee TO see to II that Faneui Hall
was well filled on The night Of the proposed
revelation. Mr.. virgins remarks were
received with loud applause. After the va
rious ward committees had announced The
places were each ward caucus would be
held, the meeting adjourned.

There win possibly be "a 600 votes east.

PROBABLY get 5000, and John s. Wise 5000.

bly, get abou, l2,0ea, and John ;. ABOUT
5000,
AID then proceeds to comment asio'Iows
s.If tha, means ANYTHING, II means that q
a Repubstcan candidate be In tire he'o opy
A oo0 pepubiican votes will be cast, and tbat
these gill be equally divided between
Eeorr n. WISE aud John s. Wise-2,0N0 to
each. LODI at the figures. How is ttls, II
the Resdsuster party be the negro party
and In alliance with the Republicans All
tie Dispcfch has unwi,tinssy let the cat out
az she bag! II expects as many coiored ana
other Republican votes 10 be cast for the
funaer candidate as for tsse Rtsdsuster can
aldate, and 1t says so Enthusiastically"
Let us analyze the paragraph first above
quoted.
II there be three candidates Tor Congress
| In this district. JoRx s. WISE, as we dis
tipctIy stated in the article on which the
pAiq makes the above comment, will
nevertheless receive the votes Of all the
MALONE negroes. II there are only two
candidates, he Will still receive these negro
gor Republican voteS and also the votes OF
one half Of the negroes who would vote for
Republican candidate II they had a
chance. l. that an admission that we eX'
pect as many co,ored and other Republicans
| 10 vote for GEORGE ID. WISE as for JOHN ,.
| WISE!
We were very liberal in our allowance OF
votes to JOIN s. WISE. II comes OF hav-
| ing two candidates OF the same surname in
the field that you must be constantly repeat
ing the Christian names.l We confident
ly expect TO beat him at least three
thousand votes ia this city alone, which
gives nearly half the votes cast In
the district. To overcome that majority
WIcKHAM, or J0HN 5. WISE, or WALKER
will have 10 get an average majority OF 600
in each OF the counties OF Chesterfield, Hen
rico, Hanover, Caroline. and Louisa. To
do ibis is OF course out OF the question. 1t
is folly TO profess to believe that it can be
done. The only question remaining is, Will
GORGE ID. WISE get three thousand major
ity in Richmond? The vote in Richmond
last spring, after Auditor MASSEY had spo-
ken in every part Of the city, and after the
most strenuous efforts OF the Wing and all
the other Mahonetes, was as follows
