AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER FOLLOWED
BY ROBBERY IN ALBEMARLE COUNTY.
-On Monday night of last week about
9 o'clock. as reported in the Dispatch,
''two white men, supposed to be strang-
ers, entered the store of Mr.. Stephen d.
Mayo, who lives in Albemarle county
about eight miles from Scottsville, on
the Monticello road. The men made
several Insignificant purchases, and
while Mr.. Mayo was waiting upon them
one of the party drew pistol and fired
upon him, the ball taking effect in the
head near the eye, in1icting serious
and probably fatal wound. Mr.. Mayo
fell senseless to the floor, and the men
proceeded to rob the money-drawer OF
its contents. 1t was known that Mr..
Mayo kept a considerable quantity OF
money in the store, but fortunately he
did not keep it all in any one place
He had no safe, but he deposited his
money in different places about the
house for safe. keeping. By this means
the robbers were prevented from secur-
ing as heavy booty as they expected
Leaving the wounded man lying in
sensible upon the floor, the men made
off without exciting any alarm. After
awhile Mr.. Mayo returned to conscious
ness and succeeded in securing assist
ance. His condition, however, is very
critical, and the worst is feared as to flu
ture consequences.
One of the men engaged in this dark
work is supposed to be the notorious
Albemarle murderer, James Rhodes,
who was the chief figure in the Massie
murder, the details of which are fresh
now in the minds of the people,"

Is Massey a Democrat?
TCorrespondence of the spectator.7

Correspondence of the Spectator.
From the columns of different DEM
ocratic papers, I find that there Is much
inclination to receive Hon. John E.
Massey as a Democrat and to make
him the standard bearer of the National
Democracy. Let US consider this mat
ter before we make the fatal step. Does
MI. Massey positively declare that he is
a hearty supporter of the National De-
mocracy and opposed to Republican
principles? If he has so declared, L am
not aware of it, While he is bitterly
opposed to Rodicolism and Boss rule,
he may support other principles of the
National Republican party. This is
not State, but National issue, and
there is no Readjuster party in Con-
gress. In the last National contest,
when all true Democrats rallied around
their standard, then Parson Massey
spoke to a few white Readjusters and to
party of negroes in the Court. house,
while the Opera House was filled with
ladies and gentlemen to listen to the
true SONS of Democracy-Hons Wade
Hampton and Zeb. Vance. He opposed
us then he opposed US in the last cam
paign; and for the last five years upon
every curbstone and in every Court
house was heard the voice of John the
Baptist as one crying in the wilder
ness, "Make straight the way for Be
publican rule.n Never was his voice
heard in opposition to his party until
the BOSS" wanted to put the collar
around bis neck. and then the Parson
said, mo, not So" He feared that it
would bring him and his securities into
financial troubles. There is.no one who
gives him more praise than I do for his
heroic valor in fighting the bull dog of
the Senate, and for his frmness in OPP,
posing the taunts of the Boss; but I
am not willing to take him into my
arms and help to feed him upon the fat
offices. Let US see what we have lost
by our coalition with Readjuster Demo.
Gratis. We nominated Hon. FL. G. Allen
and lost Representative in Congress.
We linked Hon. James Barbour with
John W. Daniel and lost the Governor
of Virginia; and if John E. Massey is
the National Democratic nominee, we
will lose the support of many true DEM
ocrats. Let Mr.. Massey keep the Re-
publican party divided by being an In
dependent Democrat, Readjuster DEM
ocrat. or any other sort of Democrat,
save National Democrat, and he has
the best wishes of a.
