PETERSBURG, VA, May 90, 1882.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Will the Wing never learn to tell the
truth! The victory which the Wig
claims Malone gained here on Tuesday
last was in fact the most signal defeat that
gentleman ever suffered, and has COM
petcly broken his backbone here.
While it is true Jarratt's Readiuster)
majority for mayor over Archer Demo
craft was 1869, yet the Wing fails to state
that Armistead's Readiuster) majority for
clerk over Plummer independently was
only 80.
The Wing also fails to state that ARMS
tead was Mahone's pet candidate, and that
both he and Malone were beaten in their
own ward. Bernard (Reddiuster) for COM
monweath's attorney, another pet OF Ma
hone. was also beaten in his own ward by
McIIwaine DcmocraD. Couch Read-
juster) beat Johnson DcmocraD by only
four hundred and odd. The Democrats
elected their Council ticket in Second,
Third, and Fourth Nlahone's ward Wards,
Notwithstanding Mahone's assertion that
we would not carry ward In the city.
Ii tins is not defeat for Malone, what
is it? DEMOCRAT.

A Disgraceful Legislative Scene.

The Massachusetts, Legislature, which is
Republican, closed ITS session on Saturday
amid a scene OF ribald reyelry. They
fought over the salary grab all Friday
night until Saturday morning. 1t is said
that The proceedings were enlivened occa-
sionally by manbers, too drunk TO stand
without support, deeaiming in favor Of
maintaining the dignity OF the House
against the dictation OF the Senate. These
speeches would be accompanied by a chorus
OF maudlin voices singing Hang Bob
Bishop TO n sour-apple tree" or some
equally touching tribute to President
Bishop, of the Senate.

II Is now definitely known that Professor
Ormond Stone, OF the Cincinnati Univer-
sity, will occupy the chair OF Astronomy in
the University. This selection was made
ut the recent meeting OF the Board OF Visit
ors, but the fact was withheld from the pub
lie for obvious reasons. The eminent fit
ness OF this gentleman to occupy this posi-
tion is indicated by the fact that the COM
mittee did not conilne their search TO the
United States alone, but canyassed Eng
land, France, and Germany, and he was
the choice OF III the eminent available men.
In this ease the position sought the man,
and we are gratiiied 10 be informed that
their estimate OF his ability has been strong
Iy confirmed by the best testimonials. Pro-
fessor Stone has been here, and will return
again so0nto remain. 'ss

out against the negro woman Sally Saun-

but no particle of poison has been yet dis

Searching for the Bodies Of Comfy and
ReitZeI.

CHESTERFIELD, n. H., May 2S.-Clara
Louise Kellogg, Messrs. Summer and
Crosby, OF her troupe, and many friends
from Brattleboro', Keene, and adjoining
towns, engaged number Of boatmcn to
make a thorough search for the bodies Of
Comfy, The basso singer, and Reitzel.
The lake was dragged where they
were last seen, and at many other
places, but without success. The size
and depth OF the lake, and the uncer-
tainty as to where the accident occurred,
make the finding Of the bodies very diff
cult. 1t is thought that the heavy thunder
storm which passed over the lake last night
may have brought the bodies to the sur
face. a brother OF Mr.. Comfy, from Bos-
ton, and cousin from Springfield, are SUI
perintending the search, which will be
continued until the bodies are found.
Hundreds Of persons from adjoining
towns visited the lake to-day.

Funeral OF ThurIOw Weed,

New York, Nov. 24.-The funeral of
Thurlow Weed took place this morning
Private services were held at the late
residence, Rev. Drs. Hall, Paxton and
keinshell officiating. AT the conclus-
ion, the funeral cortege formed and
proceeded to the church, which was
filled with congregation composed of
prominent citizens and well known per-
sons from the interior ofthe state. Miss
Harriet Weed was too greatly agitated
to leave the house. Immediately af-
ter the pail bearers and meurners
came the attaches of the household.
and friends Of the family. At ten min
utes past 10 o'clock the procession ar
rived at the church. The clergy walked
first into the church followed by the
pail bearers and the men carrying the
coffin, which WAS covered with black
velvet. The members Of the family
came next, and then friends who had
attended the services at the house. A
delegation Of fifty members of the press
club brought up the rear As they
passed up the center aisle, the choir
sang, "Sleep thy last sleep" The
coffin was placed in front of the pulpit,
and pall-bearers and mourners took
seats reserved for them. BY this time
the church was 70 crowded in the gal
leries rs we'll as on the main floor that
number of persons who came to at
tend services were unable to gain ad-
mittance. All aisles and passages were
filled with persons ssanding, including
many ladies. DIR, Paxton opened the ser
mon by reading passage of scripture,
after which the choir sang, "Abide
With Me-" Jno. Hall then spoke
briefly of Mr.. Weeds long life of infu-
ence and the peaceful evening of rest
and Guietness which had been granted
him. The choir then sang, "Nearer
My God to Thee" and Rev. DIR.
spencer, OF X )chester, pronounced the
beuedictioD.
The remains were taken to Albany
by boat for interment.

The Railroad Rumpus.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 24.-Alexander
Mitchell, president of the st. Paul rail
way, will not make further statement
than that sent yesteraay,to the eastern
papers ii regard to the railway war.
Manager Merrill was equally reticent.
To-day's important cut was in passen-
ger rates on the c., NJ. & st. P. railway
from Rock Island to Chicago, the ticket
being reduced from IS to 80 cents.
Railway official are extremely reticent
and blame the daily press for making
incorrect statements, but at the same
time refuse to give information. w. &.
Swan, superintendent Of freights of the
St. Paul road, says his road has decid-
ed to make a sweeping slash in freight
rates shortly, affecting all points on the
road. The details will probably be an
no1nced tomorrow.
OMAHA, Nov. "a. - The 81. Paul j
Omaha and Illinois Central freight lines
make rate of Is cents on all freight
from Omaha to Chicago, regardless of
classification, thus adding another road
to the rate war in the northwest. The
Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy is ex-
pected to air the strife next.
A CAID FROM ALEX. MITCHELL.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 24.-The follow
ing, telegraphed to New York to-day,
is selt-explanatory:
To the Editor ofhe NetO York World:
Sal have to say, in answer to your inquiries
by telegraph, that | can not possibly tell how
long the existing and inexeussbls railroad war
here may last. 1t has been begun because we re-
fused to submit to what We deemed very unrea-
sonable demands, and after we had offered to
leave all points in dispute to arbitration 1t
nugurs badly for future railroad property in his
country, if great corporations are to act in this
manner. After submitting without retaliation
for some weeks, to unprovoked hostilites we are
now simply trying to defend Ourselves.
(Signed) ALEXANDER MITCHELL.
President Chi, Mil e. St. ?. R'y.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-The Tribute will
express the opinion that notwithstand-
ing the entrance of the Illinois Central
railroad into the freight war in the
northwest, no immediate danger ex-
lists of the embarkment of either the
Northwestern or Burlington. For
either of them to become party to
the cutting, owing to the condition of
the pool, would be equivalent to a
complete rupture Of the agreement,
and will effect the southwestern pool,
including the Wabash lines, and
demoralizing things as far south
ana west as Kansas City. In view
of these contingencies the Tri-
bune believes that neither the
Northwestern nor Burlington will cut.
