The governor-elect Of Pennsyl-
vania, Hon. Robert (. Pattison, is
only about t~hirty-two years of age,
He has been in political life for the
past seven years, and is now comp
troller of the city of Philadelphia.
He is the son of Rev. Robert H..
Pattison, a popular Methodist di-
vine. The family took up their
residence in Philadelphia when the
goyernor-elect was six years Of age,
and the youth was educated in the
common schools of the city. He
prepared himself for the ministry,
but subsequently studied law.
Soon after being admitted he was
called by the reform movement to
his present position, in which he
has brought order out Of chaos,
and administers the affairs Of the
city to the satisfaction of all. A
brilliant career is now open to him.

Speaking OF the defeat OF the congress
sional reapportionment bill in the Virginia
Senate on Thursday the Philadelphia Times
says: The failure OF Mahone's scheme
leaves the districts a. they are, with one
member 10 be elected at large. That will
make delegation very different from that
which Malone designed. OF the present
delegation two are Reputation Democrats,
two Republicans, and five regular Demo-
Gratis. This same proportion can easily be
maintained this year, with a prospect that
the Democrats will defeat Malone in the
State at large. The situation Is one not
likely to grieye honest men, and the humili-
alton as much belongs to President Arthur
as to Senator Malone.
"The Grand Army OF the Republic would
prefer that they laurel the graves OF the
Confederate dead, rather than see that
mournful duty delegated TO conyicts, as
proposed by the Virginia Legislature
Baltimore american.
Doubtless any brave men would have
such preference. but we have failed to
notice the action OF the Virginia Legislature
referred to. Have the Repudiators got
along so fast that they are ready to re-
pudiate all the gratitude Virginia owes the
dead as well as the money IL owes the
living Baltimore Gazette.
Secretary Chandler Is expected to take
charge OF his new duties on Monday next.

AMONG CATTLE-THE WEATHER, ETC.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
MADISON Run, April Is, 1882.
Yesterday morning the dead body OF n
man named Jackson Painter was found
near the stable on a farm Of DR.. Cowherd,
few miles below Gordonsyille. A cOrO-
ner's jury was summoned by Justice Faul-
cOner, whose verdict was cause of death
unknown, but no evidence OF Violence"
He was seen by gentleman Of the neigh
borhood late in the evening Of the day be-
fore. and appeared unusually well and not
at all under the influence of liquor. When
found his hat and a haverSack which he
had on when last seen were missing, and
though search has been made for them
they have not been found as yet.
1t Is reported that Mr.. William G.. Cren-
shaw, of Hawfeld farm, has lost eighty
head OF cattle this winter. He had a post
norton examination made, and discovered
that death was occasioned by wire left in
the straw, having used one OF the seli-bind-
ing reapers with the wire tie. In many
cases the wire had corroded and penetrated
the nav.
Also, there has been great mortality
among the sheep in this county during the
winter, the dogs being Il large factor IN the
destruction, but more dying from disease.
The thermometer stood nc 2G0 in this
neighborhood yesterday morning. Ice was
formed in the fruit-tree blossoms, and it is
believed that all the small fruits are de-
stroyed.
The wheat crop makes extraordinary
promise, but farming operations generally
are much delayed.
The Virginia Midland Company is build
ing stem from Madison Run. about four
miles out into the iron-ore district.

Reduction of Postage.

We are in favor OF Mr.. HILLS PROPOSE
ton 10 reduce postage on letters weighing
a half-ounce or less to two cents. In she
first place, the Government ought to do
whatever it can to spread intelligence,
make the people Of the whole country feel
ms IL they were brethren and neighbors,
and encourage intercourse and correspond
.ence between the inhabitants OF all its
parts. But, secondly, the revenues Of the
Post-Office Department would not, we be-
lieye. be at all reduced. III five letters
should be transmitted through the mails
under the new law for every two letters now
thus sent, the Government receipts would
be the same, or more. The Government
expenses would not be increased; for the
additional weight OF the mails would not
be perceptible, seeing that the second and
tbird-class matter would constitute then,
rs now, nine tenths Of the weight OF the
mail matter. Thirdly, there is great virtue
In even numbers, or unit, OF number
piece will buy now only three stamps.
Under the new law it would buy five.
Thousands of stamps would be bought at
the new rate where hundreds are now
bought. We saw the practical working
out OF a somewhat similar problem here in
Richmond when the Sheet-Cr Company
first sold tickets at 81 cents and then at 81.
A ten-cent piece would buy only one.
After trying experiment after experiment
for years, the company at last fixed the
price Of single fare at cents. Immediately
the business OF the road doubled, perhaps
quadrupled. II wasn't that 64 cents was
80 much more than 5 cents, but that 10
cents would pay for two rides instead OF
only one. The Government will find that
reduction of the postage on letters to
cents cach.per half-ounce willhave the same
effect upon the receipts Of the Post-Of1ice
Department. The number of letters sent
will be doubled and perhaps quadrupled
the first year.
Give us cheap postage. Better send
fewer public documents free than defeat

PROCLAMATION Needed.

somcbody-wc don't know-has sent us
= copy Of Auditor MAssEY's reply to a reso-
luton Of the House OF Delegates instruct
ing the Auditor Of Public Accounts to re-
mort TO that House the amounts received at
his Office from delinquent capitation taxes
Tor each Of the years 1877, 1878. 1879, $780,
and 1881, showing the specific amounts re-
cciyed fro,y, each city, town, and county in
the state, &c. Mr.. MAssEY's letter has
rather surprised us. We give the facts as
we gather them from that letter:
We End that out Of the one hundred
counties in the State only thirty-seven had
paid one dollar into our Treasury during
the months Of October, November, and
December, 1881, and January, 1882, and
only FIVE Of the cities had made any return.
The four months above mentioned consti-
tutc the period Immediately preceding ana
following the election OF the Governor and
Legislature. and our people were under the
immersion that large amounts were beng
collected in the several counties from de-
lineuent taxpayers. And yet tins report
shows that not one dollar had been received
from Mecklenburg, where CAMERoN's ma
jority was 1853. Not one dollar from Not
toway, where his majority was over l,loO.
Not one dollar from Brunswick, where nus
majority was over 1, 200, and not one dollar
from Dickerson, where he received every
vote cast except thirty-fve. From the city
of Norfolk we find that S3.03 had been re-
ceived. From the county OF Bedford,
s1.4O; from Caroline. S2.10; Grayson,
s2.75; Fluvanna, sl3.97; and Middlesex,
$l6.96.
This matter needs explanation. We have
heard Il said that CAMERON was elected by
voters who paid their capitation tax, II at
all, in November or October. The facts
given above afford abundant reason for
suspecting frauds. In Mecklenburg, Tor
instance, there were in 1S79-'s0 2,S13 me-
groes assessed with the capitation tax. Is
IL credible that in October last, and during
the first week or more in November, when
the collectors were so busy manufacturing
votes, not dollar was collected in Meek
lenburgg Not dollar in October, No
yember, or December, 1881, and not dol
lar In January, 1892?
We call upon Auditor ALLEN to investi-
gate this matter. We have no idea that
either he or his predecessor is implicated in
the failure to account for the moneys re-
ceived for delinquent capitation-taxes.
But somebody ought to explain how so
many negroes happened to vote in Buck
ingham, for instance, on certificates fur
nished them by collectors OF delinquent
capitation-taxes, and yet only eighty are
returned as having paid that tax in Octo-
Der, November, December, 1881, and jan
uary, 1882. We have heard Buckingham
man say that Mr.. FICKLEN was defeated OF
election to the House Of Delegates by such
negroes. II they paid no such taxes, how
did it happen that so many negroes had
the right to vote!

DIANA MILLS, April 10, 1882.
We are having very cold spell OF wealth
er for the season, which has continued for
several days. Last night we had heavy
frost. The ground was frozen this morn
ing, and ice formed nearly half an inch
thick. Some days last week the thermom-
eter stood at $50, and this morning it was
down to 26o. II is feared that the fruit
crop is very much injured, If not killed.
The wheat crop is looking remarkably
well, and the oats and grass are promising
Grazing on the commons is getting very
good, which is fortunate for those who
have cattle, us the winters supply OF food
had become wellnigh exhausted with most
OF our farmers.

in Cumberland county few weeks ago

lest il should spread and reach our county,

esteemed citizen, died last Friday, and was
buried on Saturday at his residence, near
