The nternal-revenue receipts IN the Pc

day amounted TO S1542l.26. The exports
OF manufactured tobacco for the week
amounted to 1920 pounds. The opera
lions in both departments were light.
Mrs Mary 4. Cato, widow OF The late W.

before last aged seyeBty-three years. Mrs.
Sophia Green. aged eiebty;6ve years, died
in this city this morning.
The sales of loose tobacco at the several
warehouses in the city this week aggregate
over 100000 pounds. The inspections were
light, amounting to only SO bogsheads. The
cotton receipts Uid the Petersburg railroad
were about 800 bales.
The cold spell Of weather this week has
covered the ponds aud streams with ice. and
the people in the adjacent counties have
been enabled TO fili their houses with good
quality Of ice, three inches or more in thick
ness. This il generally about as good an ar
ticle as we get in this section.
1t Is learned that carload OF cotton

Rev. William q. Lumpkin. late pastN on
the North Sussex clrculf, whose residence

Mr.. George w. Scott, The organist OF st.
Paufs Episcopal church, in this cily--an

This book has most attractive appear
auce, and must be exceedingly cheap at
SI50. 1t would make most acceptable
present for boy. "The adventures re-
lated arc novel aud picturesque, and they
follow comparatively new course. The
hero ships on Cape-Ann schooner bound
to Greenland, is shipwrecked on the coast
of Labrador, reaches Iceland, then passes
through Scotland, England, France. Hol-
land, Russia, Asia, aud afterward crosses
Siberia, sails for Alaska, and from thence to
San Francisco, from there reaching home
overland after many strange experiences OF
Siberian. Tartar. Chinese, and Indian life.

Mayor Cooper has succeeded In removing
one % boss from his enlrenched position.
Mr.. KsLLY will not receive much sympathy
from any good Democrat. 1t may be truth
fully declared that General HANCOCK owes
his defeat to KErLY's unwke movements
last year and tins year.
So far as outsiders can Judge, the removal
OF Mr.. KELLY will result in the continued
defeat OF the Democratic party OF the State
OF Now York for number OF years. New
ertbeless, we are confident that Mayor
COOPER did what was best for the people OF
New York and the Democratic party when
he removed Mr.. KELLY. II aparty cannot
succeed WITHOUT allowing its offices to be
parcelIed out by bosses, nor without
acknowledging them as dctators, then the
sooner it is disbanded the better.

town: "The fast trains and fast mails are
fast becoming fast nuisance. With trains
every few hours passing each way over the
Piedmont Air Line, the mail for the south
has not been taken from this post.oflice In
four days. II has been made up and carried
TO the road IN due time and due form, yet
not taken. To miss bali the time IL bad
enough, but to miss four days 10 succession,
With no prospect OF getting II of in the fu.
iure, Is still worse. We call the attention
OF the postal authorities to such gross care
lessness. and We hope the proper authorities
Will look into this matter. The postmaster
and mail-carrier have done all they could,
yet the mail'agents on the railroad did moi
take IT. Whyf"

Colonel a. X. MCCLURE writes from Rich
mond TO his paper in Philadelphia that after
seeing many OF the Debt-Payers, Resdjust-
ers, and Republicans who are best capable
OF rejecting the sentiments OF their respec-
tive parties, he has come TO several coLclu-
sions, one Of which he states as follows:
"The great battle on The debt issue will
be fought out in Virginia next fall, when a
Governor and Legislature will be chosen,
and the Legislature will have the election
of the new Supreme judges. lie is now
reasonably certain that the issue will be
squarely made on the Riddleberger bill 10y
the repudiatonisis, and it seems certain
that the Republican leaders will throw
themselves ard the whole col0red vote TO
the repudiationists."
We are afraid that the Republicans, e'pe-
cially the colored ones, will prove Colonel
MCtLURE to be q close observer, and not
bad prophet. Yet how can it be possible
for the Republicans in Washington to coun-
tenance such movement in the face OF
their professions?

Editors Dispatch: We do not exactly un'
derstand the meaning Of the word "syndi-
cate" so frequently used in financial aud
business matters. Please explain 1t, and
obIige MERCHANT.
"Syndicate is an old word whose use
has been revived. A syndicate is council,
or council of syudics. As we use it, now
a-days, syndicate means council and
something more. 1t is used to describe
number Of men or firms, usually capital
lists, who associate themselves together for
the purpose OF making success OF some
financial scheme. "Syndicate," however,
could also be used to describe council OF
almost any other kind. HUGH MCCULL0cH
and number OF other gentlemen formed &
syndicate to accomplish the refunding OF
the Virginia debt. That was the sole OBJ
ject of IFS formation, We suppose. Any
other set OF capitalists, or bankers, or other
men, could form a syndicate for the same
purpose, or any similar one.

II snail adopt two lamps to light me
along the road, aud trust they may keep
me toerabe close TO the right way. One Is
to endeayor to do that which will rebound
to the best interests Of our common coun-
try, without stopping to inquire OF the pa
ternity OF measures or how the status OF a
political party may be advanced or preju-
diced. The other is to grapple with facts
as they exist. not as we would wish them TO
be, to cease vain race after distractions,
theories, impracticlble or exploded, to catch
at bubbles while the air IS filled with sub
stantial blessings. In remembering that

The Baltimore american is not at all cam
did in its comments upon 1AGERsoLL's re-
mark that every congressman who was
unfairly elected ought to be unseated by
the next House OF Representatives. The
american ell knows that all such remarks
In the mouths of Republican stawarts al
lude only to southern Democratic congress
men; and that INGERsOLL had no reference
TO any others. We happen to recolIect the
vilIainies OF the Republicans when they
had control of the House OF Representa-
tiyes. Mes.rs. WILSON and MARTIN OF
West Virginia were unseated and two men
seated who had no better claim to their
seats than INGERsoLL had; and this, too, in
spite OF a Republican committees report
that MARTIN and WILSON were elected.
These were only TIVE out OF many like
frauds upon the people. Hence our fears.
