JUDGE LOCHRANE
| On Yancey, billiard, Alex. e. Stephen
Ben Hill and Howell Cobb.
Gath in the Cincinnati Enquirer

Gath in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Referring to Southern orators, Judge Loeb
rane said "Perhaps Yancey stood at the
head for a pleasing style, rather grandilo-
quent, carrying on the channel of his argu-
ment with considerable strength, and mean
time amusing the people with bright rheto-
ric, and nursing their pre- JUDGES and passions.
He was an egotist and vain man, however,
and at the celebrated Montgomery conven-
ton, which was called for alleged CONNER
cial purposes, and ended by obeying an
agitation to reopen the slave trade, ancey
invited me to DINER with other gentlemen,
and at his own dinner table made speech,
which, without any change except the sd-
dition of another matter, he made at the
Charleston convention not long afterward.
The convention turned out to be nothing but
tournament for the display Of the public
speaking OF Yancey on one side and Henry
w. Hilliard on the other.
"HilliaTd was not warm orator at
Gancey-he was a quieter speaker; but he
was the principal man on the Wing side at
that time. He had been the minister to
BELGIUM, and was eight years in Congress.
He got in several good points Tancey.
He said that in the old Roman days it had
been not infrequent for a man to throw him
self into the Chusian gate to save his couu-
try; that the time was now at hand when
there were men willing TO push their coun-
try into the Chuslan gate to save themselves
Yancey leaped to his feet, and asked if the
gentleman meant him. NO. said Hilliard,
in an argument of this kind, seeking to save
my fellow-citizens from ruin, had no time
to think of individuals, although my friend,
Mr.. YaIcey, thinks there never is a time
when he is out of anyboiy's mind, and his
friends agree with him. Compared with the
weight Of this cause and my feelings he
sinks into ephemerality. l never thought OF
him at all In his earlier days Alexander
II. Stephens was very much of orator.
Ben Hill never was an orator in the true
sense. Howell Cobb was the ablest man for
general affairs l have ever Known"

DISASTROUS FIRE
At richmond, Sa.-RaiirOad Bridge anu
Several Factories BurRed.

RICHMOND, VA March 27.-About noon
yesterday the southern end OF the Richmond
and Petersburg railroad bridge was discoy-
cred to be on fire, and when the iremen ar
rived the whole structure was a5laze, and
soon tumbled into the river. When the
flames reached the Richmond end of the
bridge they seized upon the large fOur-story
brick tobacco factory OF T. NJ. Rutherford q
Co., which was quickly destroyed. The fire,
spreading with frightful rapidity, laid in
ashes the large brick tobacco factories OF K.
A. Patterson & Co. and I. C. Williams x Co.,
three tobacco stemmeries-J. A. Hutchison's
two stemmeries, c. +. N +. ID. BarksdaIe' )
stemmery-Aborn & Edwards's Vulcan Iron
Works, operated by Bruce & Archer; twenty
tenements, occupied by poor people; about
300 feet of trestle connecting the Tredegar
iron works with the Richmond and Peters
burg railroad; ten new freight cars OF the
Tredegar Company; I. P. Smiths grist mill,
and number of minor buildings and
quantity of coal and lumber. At the south
ern. or Manchester, end of the bridge, the
fire DESTROYED the Virginia Mining and Man
ufacturiug Company's kaolin works. The
total loss is estimated at $500, 900 to $780,,
600, about half of which is covered by in
surance. The rapid spread OF the fire was
owing to a heavy gale. One lie was lost
and several minor casualties occurred.
Charles Belts, aged fifteen, was killed by
falling wall. Two men are reported buried
in the ruins of Patterson's factory. Isaac \.
Gentry, book-keeper, saved himself by jump
ing from a window.

A SOCIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT.
Figures from Utah that Totally Upset
the POlygamOus Theory of Marriage.
Salt Lake Tribune.

By the classification of the census bureau,
Just published, the Mormons in Utah Of vot-
ing age numbered $4,000 in June, 1880. The
males outnumbered the females in the total
Utah population by seven per cent, which
would give at least $4,000 manageable men
and "a 900 manageable women. 1t is not a
violent .upposition that one-ffth OF these
glen are actual polygamists. Assigning to
,h.s 5000 men > , women each, We have
5000 out of our 25,0OQ men appropriating
$4,000 of our "a 900 women, leaving for our
remaining 10000 men 1900 women. No
doubt this is near the true state of the case
and we commend it 10 the consideration OF
thoughtful Mormons. After nearly third
of a century's trial OF what the Rev. John
Kimball terms "a Sociological Experiment,
in a new field, practically unimpeded and
unrestricted, and with good part OF the pro-
ductive energy OF the Church prosslytiz-
ing in all lands, We have this astoundIngly
artificial and strained assignment Of II, n
and women-5OO0 men with 1900 wives,
and 10000 men with 1900 wives. Were
the logic of Mormon teaching carried out,
we're every man to marry two or more women,
who was not physically prevented from doing
so, another 5000 OF our manageable Utah
Mormons would have married cur remaining
1900 women, and left $4,000 men without

evening, the oath inst, at ~ o'clock, by
Rev. r. V. Taylor, T. X. Riddick, Esq,
and Miss Amelia Pulliam.
Probably the largest assemblage ever
collected in Soperville TO witness a mar
riage ceremony were present on this happy
occasion. The ushers, Messrs. John "
Bailey and Junius Hobson, found it i'm,
possible to and seats in the large building
for the vast company and many were
compelled to stand.
II was indeed q beautiful picture of
enchantment that burst upon the vision Of
every one that entered the church to
witness the uniting Of two Of Gods
noblest creatures-an event which had
long been anticipated and the eonsumma-
tioa Of which had been ardently hoped
for by many well wishers Of the bride
and groom. The friends OF the noble
and happy couple had gathered to ex-
press their love and kind wishes in twin
ing beautiful flowers in the lovely gothic
arch that spanned the altar, surmounted
by Il pure white cross pointing heaven
ward, and suspended from the center Of
the arch a crimson horse shoe, symbol of
good luck" in which hung the mono
gram "R. p" The blending of the two
colors in the letters was artistic indeed.
The organ was decorated by an exquisite
arch. surmounted by a bright star, we
hope typical of the one to crown our fair
young organist The soft, sweet notes of
the organ, under the skillful touch of Mrs.
r. Nj. Cousar, and the perfume of the
flowers, waited our thoughts heavenward,
and the solemn words of the man of God
as he invoked the blessing of heaven on
tie union Of this loving, faithful couple
met a hearty amen from many hearts in
the assembly, Flowers are the stars of
earth as those in the sky are Of heaven.
On all occasions and for all purposes are
flowers chosen to express the desires of
the human heart. They breathe forth the
incense Of purity and holiness. What is
more appropriate than flowers TO adorn
the loving bride in her pride and beauty.
May sweet music, bright howeti an
smiles unclouded ever rest upon them
and may the happiness that alls'their
hearts remain thr"ugh life as sweet and
bright as now.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bride and groom left by private convey
ance for Stanton to take the train on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad for an
extended bridal tour North. Many
wishes for a pleasant and safe Journey
follow them and a cordial welcome awaits
them on their return,
