The closing rally Of the Conservatives
and Democrats OF the city at Moorman's
warehouse last night was one OF the largest
and most enthusiastic public meetings ever
held In Lynchburg. The crowd In attend
ance was simply immense, aud no crowd in
this section ever responded more readily
and with greater spirit to the magnetic APP
peals OF the two popular orators of the oc-
casion. Mr.. Tucker first addressed the
crowd, and IL Is agreed by those who heard
him that he was never in happier or more
effective vein. He addressed his remarks
principally 10 the issue OF the tariff and Tree
trade. on which such a determined effort
has been put forward TO iniure him among
the workingmen Of the district. So numer-
Gus and so telling were the points which he
made that no brief report would suffice FOR
them. Mr.. fuckers vindication OF him
self was complete and ample. and 1t is safe
to predict that he will get the solid vote oiall
the real workngmen OF the district. M,1or
Daniel, who closed tue exercises last night,
surveyed the national ground in an able and
ringing speech, which kindled the utmost
enthusiasm among the crowd. There is
high hope OF the success OF the Democratic
ticket among our people, aud no doubt
whatever OF the election OF Ran. Tucker to
Congress.

The disposition Of the Radical managers
10 throw every possible hindrance III the
way Of the execution Of the State election
laws hes received a new illustration in this
city. When the final revision Of the regis
iration closed on the 23d Saturday, Colonel
VI. :. LanghOrne, registrar OF the Third
Ward lone Of the best and iusteSt men in
the city,, kept the books open for haif-hOur
or more after sunset in order 10 permit the
transfer Of everybody entitled to that priv
lege. The books were then closed on The APP
plication. and indeed the demand, OF the two
Radicals who were acting for their party on
the occasion, lone OF them Jack Ayerett, the
negro tipstaif OF Judge Rives's court,) al.
though several negroes and few white
men had not yet been transferred. Since
the close OF registration the chairman OF the
Republican District Committee has applied
TO Colonel Lar ghOrne to admit 10 registra-
ton some fifteen negroes who have COM
planned 10 the former OF not being allowed
10 register last Saturday evening. Colonel
Langhorne could but reply that such action
would be contrary TO the STATE law, and
that the books were closed on the demand
OF the Radical supervisors. The Radical
chairman then urged him TO sppeal ia Judge
Garland for lesve TO reopen the books 10
admit this new gang OF negroes to reglslra-
ton. Colonel LsnghOrnc declined TO do
this, and the Republicans are threatening
to resist his decision and to do all manner
Of things TO assert their "rights."
There Is great sorrow here at the death OF
Bishop D0ggett, although the sad event has
long been anticipated. He began bis min
stry in this city, and was in charge OF
Lynchburg congregations four or five times
during his life. The Older generation OF
Nethodists whom he married, and whose
children he baptized, feel special devotion
for him. and will long mourn bis loss. One
OF the last sermons preached by the Bishop
was an appeal made by him in behalf OF the
State Bible Society, OF which he was pTesi-
dent. The sermon in question WAS preached
Ia Court Street Methodist Episcopal church,
in this city, few months ago, snd was at
tended 10y au immense congregation made
up OF members OF all the denominations OF
the city.
Work on the line OF the Richmond and
Allegheny railroad is progressing rapidly
above this city. During the session of the
Tor J. w. Johnston was in attendance as the
representative If the company, and moved
the Court to appoint commissioners TO regu-
late the matter Of land damages from the
Rope Ferry to the line OF Campbell county.
Maior Johnston will attend Campbell Court
for the same purpose. though 1t is stated
that the commissioners are but seldom re.
quired to act. as the landowners and the
attorney OF the company generally agree
without difficulty as to the amount of dam
ages proper to be awarded.
Large quantities OF stock from the south
western counties continue to pass through
the city on their way to England. OF forty
eight carloads shipped through here yester-
day. nineteen were intended for shipment
via New York to Liverpool. Eleven Of
these were shipped by Mr.. William A.
Stuart, OF SaltviIe. and eight carloads by
Mr.. John Thomas, also Of Smyth. The
rest OF the consignment was for the Balti- !
more market. TELEPHONE.
