APRIL IS, 1881.
Bubbles OF considerable size begin to ap.
pear on the surface OF the political pot,
which has long been simmerlng AFTER
somewhat quiet fashion. The movement
among the negroes in opposition to the pre-
; Mt staff OF Federal officials in the city and
revenue district took distinct and oppres-
sive head Yesterday. A committee OF three
or four leading colored Readjustcrs left for
Washington city III the interests OF Mr.. Il.
f. Mays, who is an aspirant for the post
Office, and Mr.. Clifford Staiham, who l.
proposed a. tue successor OF Captain Rvcs
in the collectors Office. The latter gentle
man is reported TO be in Washington push
ing his claims for appointment. Up TO a
very late date the present incumbents OF
these offices have been very secure of their
Ireappointment, as both have appeared 10
| give general satisfaction, aud have been
| backed by the recommendations Of many
| influential citizens. IL is impossible 10 an
| ticipate what will happen, however, since
the contamination of the coalition between
the Republicans and r. adjusters.
| 1t Is stated that new activity prevails
also in the demonstration started against
| the City Council, and it i. now understood
that the parties who are leading the move
ment will act without reference to any party
! obligations or patty nominations. The
movement is backed by the liquor dealers
opposed TO the endorsements OF the Sunday
law, and the other side VIII make an active
| fight on this issue. Petitions were crcu-
lated yesterday for signatures, and the Re-
publicans and Readiusters are giving their
adhesion to the move.
Sergeant Boisseau, OF Danyille, succeeded
yesterday in summoning twenty tdleSmen
in the city, from whom a number Of the
iurymen in the Deiarnette trial are to be
selected. Their names are: Whites-J. j.
Scluggs, j. II. Neal, l.. 5. Norman. +. w.

aud d. Z. Wright. Colored-T. ID. Wade
William Merriman, {. o. Pride, &. &. Ellis,
}. w. Crawford, Daniel Butler, and j. VI.
Stewart. Some Of our best citizens are in.
cluded in the list. The party left for Dan.
vile in company with the sheriff yesterday
afternoon.
The stockholders of the Lynchburg Ma.
tional Bank, OF which Judge ID. +. Spence
| is president, at meeting held yesterday
adopted a resolution adverse to any reduc-
ton OF the capital stock. This question
was raised at the time Of the furry over the 3
per cent. funding bill. The stockholders
then met and deferred action, and hence
their session and resolution Of yesterday.
There seems to be great interest in the
south part OF Campbell county over a pro.
posed narrOw-gauge railroad between this
city and BroOkneal by way OF the county
courthouse. Npjor Daniel appears TO be q
leading spirit in the movement, and the
county has made most favorable response
TO the proposition.
