the courtroom and was followed by
three Of the mob and shot again. He
then escaped to the street and fell, but
quickly regancd bis fee, and received
another shot. He then ran through 4

The officers ofthe law seemed para

W. Fl. Ruth, of Richmond. Va. an
ex-confcderatc colonel. a native of
Petersburg, and now one of the most
active republicans in that state, has
been in the city for several DAYS on
business. \ PosT-DIsPATcH reporter
met Col. Ruth this morning He had
been very strong Grant man, but
now accepted Garfield, and was work
ing hard for him.
.'What majority will Hancock get
in Virginia this fall?" queried the re.
porter
Il do not believe that he will carry
the state at all was the emphatic
reply. The fight between the read.
justers and the funders is so bitter that
it can not be healed. Both factions
have an electoral ticket in the field
and if they remain the democratic vote
will be so equally divided that the re-
publican electoral ticket will prevail
Gen. Malone, the leader of the re.
adjusters. has declared war to the
knife against the funders, and he and
the able men whom he has brouah,
about him declare that they will not
withdraw their electoral ticket even
though their action should give the re-
publican party four more years of rule.
They insist that their electoral ticket
is necessary to keep their party in or
ganization, and |, knowing them all, say
that they are determined men, and will
stick to the bitter end
Col. Ruth said further that the dem.
ocratic party was too confident abou,
having a solid south. In his opinion
Florida and North Carolina would
with Virginia, break the solid SOUTH

SURE TO SPLIT.
The Democrats OF Georgia WraHgling
Over the GOyernOrsllip.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 27.-I'hc dem
ocratic party stands in a favorable
position to meet with terrible Water
loo in Georgia this fall. The action
of the present Executive, Gov. Col
quit, in his endeavors to secure the
nomination of the democratic party,
is not creditable to any man; and as
he has obtained only few over a
majority, and not two-thirds, it does
not augur that he will be nominated
by any other than the kind Of high
handed means whereby he has secured
his delegates. 1t is the purpose of
many of his chief advisers to adopt the
majority rule in the convention next
Wednesday. If they do the minority
Will withdraw, at least their leaders say
they will. Colquitt Will never let his
delegates so over to any other candi-
date. but will block the convention first.
In either event it means disruption OF
the democratic party. Ifperforce Col
quit should get two-thirds and be
nominated, thousands of most substan-
tial democrats in Georgia will not vote
for him. Thus by the republicans and
colored people supporting an indepcn-
dent he Will be elected.
