SPEECH OF Mr.. THOMAS CROxT0N-CO
DAY-THg FUNDING BILL AND WHAT IT HAS
TO DO WITH THIS CAMPAIGN.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
SEPTEMBER %, 1880.
Quite large crowd OF people were at
court Yesterday 10 hear Mr.. Thomas CroX-
ton. the unauthorized Democratic Han
cock-and English electOr for this the First
district OF Virginia. He addressed the peo.
pie in calm, dignitied speech OF an hour
and half, in which the political situation
OF the day was clearly set forth. II was so
ioreible and plain that all could understand,
and were impressed with the facts and fair
ness OF his arguments. He appealed to all
the noblest feelings and reason OF man. IL
there were any who were not convinced
that the l9h-Of. May is the proper ticket to
vote, all | have to sag Is that they are be-
yond the reach OF reaSon-are blinded by
their prejudces aud belong to General Ma
hone. have no hesitation IN saying that
Mr.. Croxton's was the best political speech
that has been made on the Eastern Shore
since The war, ana the best ] ever heard.
Before commencing, division Of time
was offered to any one representing any
other political faith. No one came for
ward, and his speech was made with the
idea that there would be no reply; but
when he finished Mr.. John w. Ii. Parker
volunteered TO take the stand in behalf OF
General MahOne's ticket and the faithful
allies" He praised the ReSdiusiers as the
great deliverers of Virginia from the bands
OF our worst OF enemies, the Funders,
and made the usual speech on that side OF
the question. When be had finished the
crowd called for Mr. CroxtOn to reply,
which be did. will only say that the ar
guments used by his opponents were laid
bare and nothing seen in them. MIR. Par
ker had just spurred him enough to show
what was 10 the speaker, and he more COM
pletely used Mr.. Parker up than any man
! ever saw in debate. Mr.. Parker. by his
own admissions, was proven to be as much
q Funder as any man in the State-yiz,
having voted for Governor Walker, upon
whose report the funding law was adopted;
by having voted for delegates who voted
for the funding bill, and again voted for the
reelection OF delegates alter they had passed
the funding bill.
Mr. Croxton said Virginia had wished to
arrange her finances ever since the passage
OF the funding bill. which became a law not
by the action Of The Conservative party, but
by the votes OF minority Of that party and
the Republicans same faithful allies); that
no prominent man now in Virginia favored
the funding law, or was a Funder, but
wished 10 have all OF our bonds OF one
class, at interest, within the ability Of the
State to pay at the present rate OF taxation,
and wished an honest adjustment of the
debt with the consent OF the creditors; that
those TO do this work would be selected
next year, and our best men should have
the management OF IL.
Yesterday was great day for Accomac.
and would that every virginian could have
beard ur. Croxton. Els.

put in by the colleges some time ago 10 the
gu0.pdrrdatO proceedings begun against

tons were that they bad a right 10 exer-
else their franchises by acts Of the Legis-
lature. Mr. GendelPs replication to-day
sets ont substantially that the colleges had
forfeited their rights under those acts be-
cause they hsve conferred degrees upon

prescribed in their charter, by selling d.
plomas, by granting degrees for doctor Of
medicine. and ante-dating the diplomas so
as TO make it appear that the party bad a
right to practice medicine, and finally by
issuing diplomas with forged signatures.
After the replication was filed, counsel for

Terrible Outrage and Suffering.
CHICAGO, October 1.-Willisn Pencil.
OF Chicago, was taken to the county hospi-
tai yesterday afternoon in such a condition
that his recovery Is very doubtful. He tells
q story Of terrible outrage and suffering.
According TO his narration. he went TO Hot
Springs about year ago, and last June, be-
ing only partially recovered, went to Mem
phis. He was soon out OF money and was
obliged to leave the hotel, and for seven
teen days wandered through the swamps
about Memphis, occasionally getting a
little help from the negroes. He finally
returned to Memphis, and. having been
arrested, was put I'm the city prison
and kept there for forty days. When
he asked for water the attendants
would sometimes play on him with the
| hose, and when he cried out they sbockled
him to the floor. The negro waiter helped
him to escape from prison, and while still
delirious be was taken to the county poor
house, fed on abominable food, matreated
in every way, and his condition rendered
worse than before. After various wander
ings and suferings he was again brought
up in the Memphis prison, and bis perse-
cutions were renewed. Mr.. Quinn, OF the
Commercial Hotel, taking pity on him,
finally secured his release, and through the
agency OF friends be was brought bsck TO
Chicago on Wednesday. He tells straight
forward story, and has an excellent reputs-
ton among those who know him.
