Mr., Tucker is throwing into the closing
DAYS OF his canvass in the district specla
degree OF activity and ardOr that cannot
fail TO result fatally TO the hopes OF Mr.
Frazier. Last Saturday there was grand
rally and barbecue at Collee's shop, neal
Liberty, where the Democratic candidate
for Congress made rousing speech, anC
was followed by Captain l.. A. Sale.
A Hancock English and Tucker club was
then organized, with Captain j. &. Feather
ston as president, and active arrangements
made for the prosecution OF the campaign
Monday last Mr.. Tucker and Mr.. j. 3
Diegs, OF this city, sped the fiery cross into
| Appomaltox. Tonight Mr.. Tucker and
Major Daniel are to speak at Norman
warehouse, in this city. Tomorrow nigh
Mr.. Tucker speaks or Daniels Hill, on Fri
day night in Madison, Saturday night al
Brookneal, and also at grand barbecue al
Lberty-all constituting pretty gooo
There is this special occasion for Mr.
fuckers doing his best, that the iron-no
nopoists OF the county, and especially those
OF Pennsylvania, are making urgent efforts
TO defeat him. A letter was recently re
ccyed by the president OF the Low MooI
Furnace, in Allegheny county, from ont
Swank, who is the secretary OF the Iron anC
Steel Association OF America, informing
him that the agent OF the furnace, Mr.
Wicks, was in favor OF Tucker, and re
quring that Mr.. Wicks be directed to us'
his influence for Frazier. The gentleman
who received the letter was fortunately
sound Tucker man, and he at once laid bare
the scheme of the monopolists to interfere
with the election in the district.
1t is pretty well understood here that th'
Atlantic. Mississippi and Ohio railroad Is Il
be sold on Monday. The utmost that IS eX
pected by those who are opposed to the salt
lis to procure from the Court little eXten
sion OF time, so as to admit OF further nego
tations. Looking upon the scheme recon-
mended by the Richmond conference a
really intended TO restore General Malone u
the control Of the road, the people OF TIL
city by large majority las read their sen
timents) preferred that the line be sold. L
is said, by the by, that the business OF I'd
road last month was the heaviest ever don
by it since its building, and that It's presen
income is more than sufficient to meet al
current expenses and interest account.
A curious accident happened to lad
during the late Fair. She bought a to
balloon and attached the string to dia
mond ring on her finger. The ring by som
accident slipped off and assembled the cloud
very gracefully at the tail-end OF the ba
loon. And further the deponent saith mo-
Senator G. r. Smith is in the city yer
busily preparing for the vote on the count
appropriations to the Richmond and Soutl
western railroad, which comes off neS
Tuesday in Amherst, and five or six othe

ator expresses himself as very hopeful OF
! favorable issue.
