Election Troubles in Richmond.

In Richmond yesterday upon charges pre-.
fered by the coaitionists, several democrat
ic judges Of election were arrested by the
United States marshals, charged with refus-
Ing to permit persons to vote upon poll-tax
receipts issued by John D. Snellings, one of
Mahone's special collectors of delinquent
taxes The accused were taken before
United States Commissioner M. +. Pleas
ants and their case continued. The demo-
Gratis claim that Snellings was not legal
tax collector, inasmuch as the law author
lied the appointment of only one collector
in each city and county one had been APP
pointed for the city before Snellings was.
The democrats representing the arrested
election judges insisted that the commission
or should allow the election to proceed and
test the question az to the legality of Smell
ing's appointment hereafter 1t was finally
agreed that the judges of election might, un
der the State law, require every voter to
make oath that he was entitled to vote. at
one time Il serious conflict Of authority be-
tween State and Faderal officials was threat
ened. United States District Attorney
John s. Wise threatened to have warrants
issued for the arrest of every Judge of cleo
ton who refused to accept tax receipts is
sued by Sncllings. By the delay large
number of voters of both parties lost the op-
portunity OF voting.

Terrible Loss of Life.

The burning of the poor asylum at Hall
fax, \. 5, was noticed in yesterdays GA
zErTE. The lire broke out about - O'Clock
Monday night. while all the inmates were
sleeping. In the west wing, the old women
and children were aroused, and it was
found necessary to break open the door
with an axe to liberatc them. Then it be-
came known that those in the upper wards
Of that wing were almost helpless. The
firemen and others, who were among the
early arrivals, fastened up stairs, and will
ing hands were soon getting the blind, the
halt and the lame down the long, winding
stairs. The work was necessarily slow
one, but finally that wing was emptied The
draft swept the flames upward with tremen-
dous force, and in few seconds the heavi-
est part Of the contlagration was in the top
of the main building. The story just under
the caves in this building was used as a hos.
pital, and in it were about seventy patients,
most Of them perfectly helpless. The fire
was now burning tiercely in this very hospi-
tai, and above it the heat cracked the roof
till the lead poured down in streams of
brilliant fire, and the states flew in every di-
rcction in deadly showers, rendering any
near approach to the building very danger
Gus. The fire soon burst through thcroofand
the scene was one never to be forgotten
Far above the roar of the flames and the
crack Of the bursting states were heard the
cries OF the wrctcned patients in the hospi-
tai, who were roasting to death. Most of
them were helpless and could not leave
their beds, and perhaps these were stifed
by the smoke before the flames reached
them; but others were seen to dash them
selves against the windows and cling to the
sashes till their strength was exhausted or
their hands burned off, and they fell back
into the seething caldron of flames. A
woman was seen to drag herself to the cor
ner window, and forcing her body half out
till she could breathe the cool air without,
she remained in that position until her head
was burned of. Tt is known that there
were about seventy patients in the hospital.
and, SO far as could be asccrtaincd, only half
a dozen were carried out before the flames
cut of all further approach to the place.
Amedcal man who is in q position to know,
estimates the loss Of life to be not less than
fifty and these were all patients in the hos
ptal. The poor old people and little child
rem got out of other parts of the building
were huddlcd together in a barn some little
distance away, and were there packed
around with straw and blankets to keep
them comfortable until the morning. Thir.
ty.one persons were burned to death eight
men and twenty-three women.

GENTLE REpRooF--A woman who
was riding in railway car, was greatly an
noyed by the profane language of two young
men who occupied the seat in front of her,
one of whom seemed to be college student.
An exchange tells us how she stopped the
profanity:
She thought she would rebuke him, and
on begging pardon for interrupting them,
asked the young student if he had studied
the languages.

Professor Tyndall makes some curious
predictions as to the proximate future of Nj
agara. At the rate of excavation assigned to
it by Sir Charles Lyell, namely, foot a
year, Professor Tyndall says that {, 900 years
or so will carry the Horseshoe Fall higher
than Goat Island, and, as the gorge recedes,
it will drain, as it has hitherto done, the
banks right and left of it, thus leaving a
nearly level terrace between Goat Island
and the edge Of the gorge: higher up it will
totally drain the American branch of the
river; the chanel will become cultiyable
and the American falls will then be trans
formed into dry precipice, forming con-
tinuation of the ciffy boundary of the river
Niagara, and, lastly, at the place at present
occupied by the fall there will be whirl-

WEDNESDAY EVENING, Nov'R. s, 1882.

HAVE WE bourbon among us? Yes,
many; the many having taken up their
residence in the North. The King of Navarro
was the first bourbon on the throne of
France and traced his title through the
female line. Louis XVI, bourbon, also
after an interval of quiet, was murdered by
a crazy mob of radicals, for the so-called
government of France at that time, was
nothing other than mob. The bourbons
were conservatives, adhering to the old
rules of order The bourbons Of the present
day follow their example in this particular,
and their effort is to restore the government
to its old integrity, constitutional protection
and happy radiance Of boss rule. The
reign Of terror is over!

THE DEMOCRATIC victory everywhere else
except in Virginia is a perfect ground swell,
and shows that the people of the country
have grown weary of the rule of the stall
wart wing of the republican party, with its
bossisln. its political associations, and its
fraud and corruption, and that rather than
prolong that ncfarious sway they will allow
the democrats another chance to improve
the management Of the Government.
