fCorrespondence Of the Richmond D!spatch.l
OCTOBER 80. 1880.
Information has been received here That
tickets for Garfield and Arthur, with Colo
mel Cabel's name affixed thereto as candi-
date for Congress, are being shown about
in several Of the western counties OF this
district. II is said they were sent from
South Boston, Halifax county. Colonel
Cabell saws that he never had those tickets
printed, nor did be authorize the printing
Of them. and that he is satisfied the whole
affair j. fraud, "intended 10 iniure him
and palate and excuse the position OF Mr..
StOyall upon the Republican ticket"
when the regiStratioD.lists were first OK
amined il was found that the number OF
colored voters was out of all proportion to
the resident cOl0red population. IL was
next discovered that about three hundred
OF the colOred voters bad registered at both
OF the city precincts. And 1t was next dis
covered that this " dOube-registering' was
not by any means confined TO the city. The
matter has been much talked about, and
some Of the lawyers have the thing under
consideration. | am told that some OF
these 1.-THE oolorcd voterS) men claim that
they have authority for The belief that they
have violated no law in this " dOuble-regis-
teTing." In reference TO all this The Han
cock and English Club are taking steps TO
prevent "repeaiiDg"-" repeating" within
he CITY and at places within reach OF the
city.
Maroney, VINO was shot by John w.
Rsmey this day week ago, was reported
better Yesterday evening. Ramey came
over from bis home on Tuesday and sur
rendered himself. and is now in jail await
inc trial. understand that Ramey puts In
a plea Of sell. defence, and shows hat OF
his with a bulet-hole through il, which, he
saws. was made by bullet from Maroney's
Distol. ON the other hand it is alleged that
Msroney did not fire his pistol, every barrel
OF il "a four shOoter) being charged when il
was taken from him. IL seems impossible 10
nut the several reports together and make
one consistent statement. Previous to this
shooting affair their relations had been, am
told, rather pleasant than unpleasant.
Rev. j. T.. l.. Holmes, assisted by Mr.. j.
y. Thomas. the superintendent OF the Bap.
list Sunday school In Dundee, has been
holding special services at The schOOl-house
there from night 10 night for nearly fort
night. About ten persons have professed
conversion, and special interest has been
manifested BIZ several others. In the to-
bacco country, the crop having been all
housed, this is the preferred season for the
protracted meetings. Rev. l.. b. billiard
commences meeting OF this Kind at
Banister church, near Chatham, TO-
morrow. Rev. William Slate, OF Hall
fax county, joins Rev. NJ. w. Read to-
morrow In meeting OF this kind at Gal
weston. The Dispatch has had some ac-
count OF protracled meeting recently con-
Quoted at Vernon Hill, Halifax county, by
Rev. DR.. A. l.. Dickinson, OF the Religious
Herald, and Rev. L. b. Dilard, the pastor.
DR.. Dickinson was very successful In the
conduct OF that meeting. IL is said that he
has also been quite successful IN rather
peculiar meeting at Halifax Courthouse,
and that he will ere long have another
rather peculiar meeting there, which viii
be prolracted indefinitely. That the great
est possible happiness may result from that
meeting the brethren all pray.
Rev. VI. w. Read spent one day and nigh
Of this week in the city. Mr. Read has
been for some time specially concerned
about the violations and obserysDces OF The
Sabbath Characteristic OF our people. III
tells the writer that he has observed tina
most OF those who have lost barns OF toDac
co by fire are people who have mol beer
yery%crupulous about the observance oil th'
Sabbath while making and saving thei
crops. IL Is remarkable, 100, that most
these Sabbath breakers are betrayed into
failure TO have their barns and contents In
sured. Mr.. Read Is himself planter, an
claims TO be obseryant OF the dong
amongst The planters.
