ORGANIZATION OF A BANK-A NEW 1AiI
TALKED or--READJUsTER ORGAN, &c.
ICori espondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
JCLY 8, 1882.
Yesterday the First National Bank Of
Roanoke was permanently organized by
the election OF ii. s. Trout as president,
ID. E. Spence yce-president, and J. w.
Shields assistant cashier and teller. The
office OF cashier has been left vacant ior
awhile, btt will shortly be supplied. The
greater portion Of the stock OF the new
bank was taken in Lynchburg.
Judge Garland, OF the Corporation CouH,
has appointed another committee to exam.
inc into the condition OF the city Jail, ana
report some definite plan OF charging it
and improving its security. A new struc-
ture Is very badly needed, and the Council
will doubtless decline 70 incur the expense.
There is undoubtedly an effort ON foot
here to start ReEdiuster daily paper, and
il anybody OF ability can be got to edit it
the enterprise will soon be launched The
falling off in the Democratic vote ri the
last municipal election has encouraged the
delrIsion among the opposition leaders That
this city may be wrested from the CONTROL
OF the decent and intelligent people.
The whole OF the $780, 600 OF per cent.
bonds recently issued by the Council have
been taken up, showing that Lynchburg's
credit is still firm. BEAUMONT.

Sonth-Carolina Coneressmen

We have been curious TO know how the
Legislature OF South Carolina expected TO
redistrict that State so as to secure the
election OF six Democratic congressman
out of The seven TO which the State is en-
titled. The Columbia correspondent OF
the Charleston NerS explains that more
than one fourth OF the negroes have been
thrown into one district, and yet there Is
not as much difference between the num-
Der OF persons in one district and the num-
Der in another as there Is between the re-
spective numbers in certain districts in the
State OF New York. The avowed object
in South Carolina was to throw the bulk OF
the colored vote into single district, and TO
arrange the remaining districts so as to
leave in each a colored majority so small, il
any, that it could be easily overcome. The
New York Republicans had a like purpose.
The NelcS'S correspondent claims that
there are thousands of colored Democrats,
so that il Is not fair TO assume that the CO.
lored majority represents the number OF
votes that the Democrats have to WIN over
Only two OF the districts have a majority
OF white voters. But four others are SO
close that it is supposed there will be no
difficulty in eiecting Democrats in them.
Indeed, there cannot be il, as is claimed
there are thousands of negroes whose
names are on the club-rolls OF the Demo
cratic party.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Having seen many articles in your valu-
able paper from other sections OF the State.
and none from this, with regard to the can
vass for congressman at large, | feel that il
may not he out Of place (haying nothing in
view but the success OF the Democratic
parity that we should be heard from.
It is fortunately settled fact now that
the debt issue is forever removed from the
political arena, and that whatever the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court of the United
States is on the question, all parties are
ready to cordially endorse il.
Having no other subterfuge, then, 10
keep their clap-trap demagOgism before the
people. the MahoDeites assume different
names in different localities TO suit the no.
tons OF their crcdulous and seryile follow
lowers. In the late municipal elections
throughout the State they raised the BAN
ner OF the "Liberal" party in one place,
the Administration party in another,
the Republcan-Read in another,
the Observation-Disclosures - in another,
the "Readiusterr in another and the
"COalition party in still another. Being
glutled with their newly-acquircd and un-
expected power, as the freedmen in the
early days Of reconstruction was OF
their newly-acquired rights, they sail
under a. many different aliases as
the freedman did in assuming his name.
They have new face to expose with every
name they adopt. They profess to be the
special friends Of the free schools, while
under the rule OF the Conservative party
they were its most bitter enemies. They
profess TO be the champions OF free speech,
a full vote, free ballot, and fair count,
when 1t Is well-kn0wn fact that since they
left the Democratic party it has been puri-
fed Of all that was corrupt, foul, or dis
creditabe in any way in connection with
the elective franchise. They profess to be
the best Of Republicans when speaking to
men Of that party, and when in the COM
pany OF Democrats they outstrip in his best
days the late William l.. Yancey in their
ardent devotion TO Bourbon Demo .racy.
The writer has within the last six
months heard leaders of this mongrel party
declare rs reason for their not acting
with the Democratic party that ii was too
loose and vague in Its principles-that they
were Breckenridge Democrats OF 1860"
They dare not let such as this reach the
ears OF their sadly-duped " faithful aIlies";
but they ought 10 be reminded that this
species Of DemoGacy--though no one be-
lieves In their sincerity--is OF the most
ultra Bourbon type, and would cancel the
late amendments TO the Constitution CIV

Yesterday a fire took place i'll the base
ment OF Mays drugstore, which at one
time threatened serious danger to the sec
ton OF the city in which the store Is To-
Gated. A colored servant had been sent
into the basement TO draw some Japan var
nish. His lamp fell over, ignitcd the var
nish. and the barrel containing it exploded,
and communicating with other barrels OF
oil. turpentine. &C.. threatened the dcstruc-
ton not only Of Mays drugstore. but OF all
the surrounding property. The efforts OF
the fire companies, however, soon eXtin-
guishcd the flames. The darby who had
gone down to get the yarniSh escaped I'M
hurt. The loss to the stock is about 800;
fully covered by insurance.
The old officers OF the Deaf, Dumb and
the Isl. have LETT the place TO give way TO
their successors. DR.. Vaughan, the new
principal, has not yet arrived, and the
buildings and grounds are ut present under

The recent wet weather has interfercd
somewhat with the harvesting Of the wheat
crop, which is not yet quite finished. The
Weld promises to lie the finest that the
county has produced for years, and the
farmers find in this fact some consolation
for the unfortunate one that the oat crop is

How Senator Hill Talks and Looks.

From tie Atlanta ConstitutlOn.I
! saw Senator Hill the other evening.
He recognized almost every person. 4
white bandagc passed over the crown OF
his head, caught the jaws. fiIn.ly and
covered his wounds from sight. The up
per part of his body showed no emaciation,
but his legs had thinncd considerably. I'm
talking, Mr.. Hill is a. graceful as ever.
He uses his fayorite geSture-putting his
hands together by joining the tips OF the
fingers and thumbs-as much Is ever, and
gosticulates quite freely. He has a habit
OF touching his head just back OF the
wound every few moments, and tapping it
gently. The saddest thing about Mr..
Iill-sadder even than the limping
speech-is the panied and strange express
sion of his eyes. They stare at YOU in q
strained and fixed way, as ii they were
impeled by some other power than which
directs his speech or gestures.
After talking on the political situation
for some time Mr.. Hill said:
81 have talked more To YOU to-day than
have talked since lett Washington"
lie paused moment and then said,
speaking very slowly and distinctly:
81 have done thi, because | feel better

better, walk better, think better, talk
better, am better-but," and here the
white hand was lifted to the covered
wcund-'.I don't know whether this
wound is better"
Here he paused again, and then said:
"Well, God has been very good TO me,
and whatever His will may be, | will sub
nit with cheerful heart"
Some one OF the company, moved by the
sunshine beyond the window and the fresh
breeze whispering through the trees, re-
marked upon the pleasant weather.
"Yes," said Mr.. Hill, :" IL | were not
blasphemous should say that / could not
be happier il were in Heaven. am here

luxury that can want-surrounded by my

minds me that j am OH EARTH"

We quoted last week Mr.. JEFfERsoN's
well-worn saying, "Error is harmless
where Reason is left free to combat it," and
remarked that most people believed in its
teaching theoretically, but were often slow
to act upon it. We publish this morning
two communications which strike us as be-
ing very bitter in their tone--that OF "A
Straightout Democrat" and that OF
Southampton" Both are southsiders.
One Is young and hot-blooded, we know
aud the other we suspect of being like
him in those particulars. Let all read
ers remember Mr.. JEPFEssoN's saying, and
not allow themselves to become too indig-
nant when they read denunciations they
consider unjust. BE sure, all these things
will be said often enough during the cam
paign; and we might as well let the State
Central Committee read them now.

The other asks the Congressional District
Committee TO call a District Convention to
nominate a candidate for Congress. II q
State Convention Is called, all the commit
tees--State Central, State Executive, and

committees win necessarily be appointed,
however many OF the old members may be
left upon them. These new congressional
district committees might claim the right
to call the district conventions Of this year.
