Was in the 10th year of his age, and left four
children living in Highland county. In a no.

with this family. Four of Its members died
before him, and all of them died very suddenly.
First, was his wife, who died about twenty-five
years ago. Then his oldest son, Harmon: was
shot dead in a brisk skirmish before the fall OF
Richmond, and his next son in years was
wounded at the Petersburg fight. and carried
to Richmond, where, it is supposed, he died
shortly afterwards. Next, his little daughter

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY IN VIR-
GINIA.-What now will be the course
of the Republican party in Virginia :?
What will become of the Debt Paying
members Of that party who very re-
Gently could not tolerate the comprO-
missing spirit of the regular Democrats
who had avowed their willingness to
reduce the rate of interest upon the pub
lie debt of Virginia to 8 per cent.
Where are the Republicans who scOrned
the ''repudiators, or dodgers" or
whatever else they called every regular
Democrat who wouldn't stand up to be
knocked down by the Riddlebergerites :?
1t is difficult to foretell the Issues that
will be involved In the Virginia cleo
tions next fall. The regular Democrats
must bide their time At present the
prospect would seem to be that General
Malone is to become the leader of the
entire opposition, whilst Wickham,
Yost. Jorgensen, DezendOrf. Russell,
Splitter, Pelouze, and all the rest of the
Republicans who have hitherto favored
a straighout Republican ticket for the
State Offices will either have to fall in
behind the Malone leaders or else sulk
in their tents. The Democrats will in
shy event have palmer sailing than
they had last year.-Richmond Dis

ROADs-Under the new order Of
things-the new iaSOr and social System
nothing assumes Glore jmportance
than the subject of roads. We doubt
whether it is possible to Keep the loads
in tolerable order with the laws and
regulations, or anything like t:aam
which belonged to the old slave systeM!-
We noticed that several counties hSsve
struck out on line of their own and
are succeeding fairly in having fine
roads, and their Taxpayers are eaaisfi-
ed. Albemarle began, and we believe
has stuck to a system of her own, and
magnificent roads are reported from
that red clay county.-It appears to as
impossible. without alGnOst causing a
riot, to open new road Oh the old plan.
In old times the men vic owned the
workers on roads to great extent,
were public spirited men, and they had
great personal interest in roads. They
were volunteer surveyors like Mr.. VIM.
Massey, of Nelson, and if necessary,
like him, would not hesitate to make a
road With bis own hands. But the day
has passed when a gentleman can take
twenty or thirty hands Of bis own to
open or work q road. 1t follows now
that the roads must be so located az not
to need such constant work, and to he
SO constructed as to be more easily kept
in order, and we believe that the future
condition of our counties will require
the road system to be general one
carried out by general taxation. 1t may
take some years to bring our people to
tsis, bat in the end there will be road
tsx and a road master. and they will be
kept as were turnpikes. and equally as
good aoeations and work will be de-
manded. The roads and road system
are greatly troubling our people, and in
many places actually prevent iumigra-
ton and reduce the real valued our
lands. Advance.

The sum of the whole matter is this
Debt Paying Democrats tried to find
out what Gen. Malone was. and, fall
ing, rfused to vote for him; Readjuster
Democrats believed that he would be
true to the Democracy, and were con-
tent to vote for him. even when he was
silent on this subject, so sure were they
that he would not desert his party.
What has been the result :? The faith
of the Readjuster Democrats has been
betrayed. Gen. Malone votes with the
Republicans. Yet the Wing says that

& RUMPUs AT CHURCH-A difficulty occurred
at the colored Baptist Church in Waynesboro'
on lsst Saturday night q week. The South
R9oer Advertiser says
ut seems that Peach Stribiing and Stewart
Brooks pick ed a quarrel with each other while
in the bar room After filling up with whiskey
they repaired to the church and there the diff
1icnity eliminated. During the melee a pistol
shot was fired, and the ball struck one James
Williams on the head where the wool ought
to grow, - and made only slight wound. The
parties were arrested and brought before JUS
tice Jacob Koiner. 1t could not, however, be
proven that the pistol was fired Intentionally,
nor who fired it, and inasmuch as religious SER
on each. Brooks and Stribling, fine of three
dollars, and the cost of trial, Sl.5O each.
We do not suppose thai the South River i'd
uertiser expressed the idea it intended. when 1t
says that -fnaSmuch as religious service had
not begun, the magistrate imposed upon each q
fine of three dollars" &C., which implies that ii
religious service had hegun, he would not have
fined them at all. whereas we suppose it meant
to say that in that case he would have imposed
a heavier penalty. It is probable that the edi-
tor had the word 'only" before "three dollars, !"
and that the compositor neglected to put it in.
for that wculd have expressed the idea that was
evidently intended. Such errors frequently
occur in the best regulated offices. The wonder
is that more errors do not occur than do.

doubt Will continue to do SO, and we hope it
will receive the support Its merits deserve.

"It is evident enough that the Repub.

have all the Federal patronage in his
own State.
I'VE do not see, however. any reason

THE SMALLPOX IN STAUNToN.--Some of the
citizens of StauntOn have been, during the past
week, unnecessarily alarmed about case of
smallpox which was brought to this city from
Huntington. The case is thattof Mr.. Lorenzo
Smith. an engineer on the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad, who contracted the disease from par
ties affected in Huntington. AS soon as it was
known by the Board of Health of the city that
he had the disease. his place of residence was
at once placed under surveillance, and there is
now no apprehension of any further spread of
this loathsome disease.
The city authorities have taken every pre-.
caution to guard our people against any spread
of this more feared than fearful disease, and
our citizens can rest secure that no means will
be omitted to prevent its dissemination.
We learn as we go to press that Mr.. Smith is
regarded as out of all danger. and is expected
soon to be we'll.
