CAPTURE OF JIM RHODES THE AL
LEG8D MURDERER OF JOHN O., MAssIE
AND'WIFE IN ALBEMARLE.-On Mon
day of last week, man supposed to be
Jim Rhodes, the alleged murderer of the
two old people, John Q. Massie and wife.
in Albemarle county, was arrested in a
bar-rOOm in Newport, Cooke county,
Tennessee, by Mr.. Williford, deputy
sheriff of that county, who, accompan-
led by G. F. Boyer, former sheriff of
that county, brought him to this State
and had him safely lodge in Jail at
Charlottesville last Friday night.
Rhodes reached Cooke county, Tennes>
see, on the 10Th of March, nine days
after the murder. A Charlottesville
correspondent of the Richmond Dis.
patch says that, "when he first went to
Newport he had his hair dyed by bar
Der. About three weeks ago he was
m arried to Miss Fox, who lived six
teen miles from Newport. For the last
two weeks he has been about that place
spending money very freely. There is
no question as to the identity of the
man. He answers the description min
utely-even to the scars on his face and
feet-and is recognized by numbers of
persons. When about nineteen years
old he attempted to poison his fathers
family, and fled the State on account
thereof He turned up in Tennessee,
and was sentenced to the penitentiary
for arson and felony. Returning to
Albemarle county, it is thought, and
there is no reason to doubt, that he com
mitted double murder in one night.
When he fled to Tennessee he passed
under the assumed name ct William
Allen, and this was the name he was
with. He wrote several letters
to people in Virginia under the name
of James Clarke, dropping the Rhodes ="
He offered Wiliiford $4,000 to be re-
leased, which he said was secreted where
no one knew of it but himself, and that
he would take them to the spot. This
is stong evidence of his guilt.

FALLEN FROM HER HIGH ESTATE

at Petersburg last week Governor Cam
eron said:
IT would not give the parings of Gen.
Mahone's toe-nails for all the boosted
chivalry, honesty and aristocracy of all

If, says the Winchester Times, Came
ron has become SO debased as to prefer
his Boss's toe-nails to all the moral
worth, virtue, intelligence, honesty, and
manhood of the hundred thousand I'M
bought Virginians who will not bow
the knee to the god of his idolatry, by all
means let him have his choice. We
may question his teste but cannot deny
his right. It is but another proof of the
brutalizing tendency of Mahoneism-
which enslaves only to disgrace and des-
troy its victims.
Imagine, says the Lynchburg News,
Holiday, or Kemper, or any of the long
line of Virginia Governors running back
to Colonial times, making use of such a
disgraceful expression as. the above! Il
took Mahoneism to develop man who
could so demean the office and insult the
people over whom he presides by giving
voice to such an utterance. But he il
