There is Il man IN the hospital

bullet holes in his chest, one Of which

air from his lungs. a Tribune repor-
ter visited the man last evening at St.
Marks Hospital. He had no hesifa-
ton in exhibiting his popularity, and
when requested to strip, removed his
shirt and showed the reporter four
holes IN his chest and back where two
bullets had entered and another
where Il ball hal struck his shonlder
and came out under his arm. There
was also hole in his leg. From the

Welcome Home.

Richmond never looks so loyely-never
appears so homelike and pleaSant-as it
does in the eyes Of those who are tumblng
into town from the springs or country
places after an able and exhaustive summer
holiday. The church-steeples seem to be
taller and to point to fairer skies than they
did two months ago, the houses are bigger
and brighter, the front yards more charm
ing, the streets cleaner, the people buster,
while the cries Of the newsboys and the
bootblacks and the jingle of horse-car bells
are like so many personal welcomes.
Yes. welcome, brothers and sisters, with
the brown and Drawn OF the country on
you-welcome back to your own spring
beds, to cheap watermelOns, to abundant
fruits-to all the comforts, TO all the duties,
to all the troubles Of city life.
AS for the children, they must be tired
OF holiday; welcome back to school, They
must be tired of going barefoot; welcome
TO tight shoes.
Thus all take new start in the old walk.
Thus commence to draw upon the store Of
health laid by in the country. Thus go
back to sweat and fret, worry and work,
until another summer brings another holi-
day. 1t is work that makes the holiday
sweet; it is the holiday past and prospec-
tive that makes the work endurable.

Not OratOrv Alone.

1t is n good sign Of the times that the
Democrats are not in this campaign trust
ing to speech-making alone. The argu-
ments offered by the CoalitOnists ought to
be answered in proper season, but we do
wisely in not trusting everything to ora
tory. What we want is 4 club in every
county, and where possible in every ma
gisterial district. The Importance Of every
man qualifying himself and casting his
vote at the election ought to be kept con-
stantly before the people. Particularly is
this true in sections Of the State where the
enemy may outnumber us largely, and
where IT may to some seem useless to go to
the polls at all. They ought to be impress
ed with the fact that their votes will count
up in the general result. We are strong
enough to win the victory. All we want
is to get out our vote. To that end COM
mittees ought to work increasingly.

The PenltentiarY.

We do not know whether, as has been
stated, the grand jury will deem it their
duty to inquire concerning the sale
OF posts at the penitentiary by members Of
the Legislature, but that the sales were
made there can be no doubt.
Men employed as guards have repeatedly
told their friends that they bought the
places they now hold. More than that, Mr..
WINFIELD SCOTT, the General Agent and
Storekeeper OF the Penitentary, and now
congressional nominee OF the Coalition
party in the Fifth district, collected the
evidence on the subject and went before
the Board, as he said, fullhanded with
proof. The result Of that investigation has
never been announced, but perhaps Mr..
SCOTT, in his canvass, Will be good enough
to tell all about it.

its exhibition, the Executive Committee OF
the Lynchburg Agricultural and Mechanic

five hundred invitations have been issued,

John Glover (cOlored), proprietor OF 4
CHEAP bOarding-hOuSc here, died suddenly
Yesterday. Glover was noted as the in
diyidual suspected Of having killed DR..
John Il. McDcrmon, Of AppomattoX coun-
~. several years ago. Although the cir
cumstantial evidence WAS very strong
against the deceased he was acquitted after
second trial.
The dramatic season was opened at the
Opcra-IlOuse Monday doning by Claire
Scott, the young English actress, who also
performed last night. She had numerous
audiences and played well, though her sup
port, excepting Mr.. Coburn, was scarcely
average.
Hon. John Randolph Tucker is an
nounced to speak at AppomattoX Court
house on Thursday next. Rivcs speaks
there at the same time, and there may be n
Joint discussion, I'm which event there will
be such wooI-pulling as never was seen
there before. Riyes is mere pigmy be-

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
John Paul spoke here to-day according
to announcement and after several days Of
extensive advertisement. He was replied
to by X. T. Barton, OF this city. Although
it was not generally known that there
would be joint discussion, the Democrats
rallied on short notice, and the crowd
was Overwhelmingly Democratic. Paul's
speech awakened no enthusiasm, and he is
going to take another chance tonight
Barton carried the crowd with him, and
won great victory.
Massey will poll the Democratic vote OF
this county, and carry it by an increased
majority. II.

trict OF Virginia:
1t has been reported to me from credita-
Bile sources this morning that have either
withdrawn or would withdraw from the
canvass as the Republican candidate for
congressman ut large. 1t is only necessary
for me to reply TO such Interested state
ments to say that have not withdrawn, and
do not intend TO do so. There Is no power
or influence, State or national, that could
induce me to withdraw my name as 4 cam
didate for your suflrages. Ihave the honor
to be the candidate OF the Republican party
OF Virginia, and nothing short OF death
will swerve me from my purpose to lead
you TO victory.
l have repeatedly made similar state
ments from public platforms during the
canvass, and knowing, as all sensible Re-
publicans must do. the sources from which
these cdndrds issue, i trust it will be un-
necessary for me TO again refer to it.

mahone's Money and Federal Ofices

mahoue's Money and Federal Ohces
MALONE Is watching the Federal office
holders. An account from Washington
represents him going all day long from de-
paytment to department inquiring about
this, that, or the other man, and Insisting
upon the removal OF every one credited to
virginia upon whose devotion he cam
not safely rely. No man not In sympathy
with him will be allowed to retain office.
The Administration allows II and Ma
HONE proclaims it. lie thus shows how
close he Is to ARTHUR, and terrifes the
miserable holders OF Federal Office into
submission.
That was his game in writing the
WoLrz letter. He knew that it would be
published; he probably supposed that 1t
would be condemned; but what he wanted
was for the Federal ofiice-holders to learn
that he had removed WoLTz, and that IN
similar cases he would treat them likewise.
Obedience, not independence, he wants.
The Federal ofIice-holders never yet con-
trollcd public sentiment in Virginia. That
they arc all with MALONE is proof conclu-
siyc that MALONE is against the Democrats.
That they are this way is one reason why
the Virginia people should take the other
way. With some few exceptions, they
have always been against us, and always
busy in stirring up strife between the
whites and blacks.
Democrats know that Federal Office
holders were never their friends. and no.
thing seems more natural than that they
should be friends OF MALONE.
MALONE also wishes it known that he
will have great sums OF money to spend in
this canvass. He will need it; but money
will not make true Democrat or real Re-
adjuster Coalitionist. The persons upon
whom it will be spent are such as have
never been OF us. They have always been,

out thcm-in spite Of Federal oflice-hold-
ers--we can win this fight. We have the

Readiuster organs is doleful. The situa-
ton now is in marked contrast to the state

age him. The Fourth Petersburg con-

More Modern DwclIing.Houscs Needed

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The "three needs" OF Richmond so
well set forth in your editorial Of to-day
show that you are alive to the interest and
prosperity OF Our city; but there is one
thing equally important to which you have
not referred, and it may be added as the
greatest need Of all-then the Others must
follow. Build dwellings suitable for the
thousands who are doing business in Rich
mond and for others who must come TO
execute the great work Of building our
CITY hall. hotel, and union depot. Homes
must be provided before people can be in
duced TO come. The demand for houses
was never so great as at present. Our peo-
pie are compelled to live crowded together
in large, old-fashioned houses mot ar
ranged in fats, which were built in the
davs Of slavery to accommodate the many
servants OF that day. The demand is for
modern houses, medium size and small, to
meet the wants Of the middle class and
workingmen. The class OF people coming
to Richmond will not take large houses I'M
less arranged in flats after the style OF Mr..
j. Il. PAGES, but what is needed at once
land il will pay handsomely is for capi-
talists TO put up houses with from six to
eight rooms, modern in style. Any num-
Der can be disposed Of at once. II you can
