sussex COURTHOUSE, September I, 1882.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch
To-day being coult-day, the Coalitonists
and Republicans had out their big guns.
Messrs. Van Auken, Of Petersburg (office-
holder; Jude Booker, OF Hampton; H..
Libby, OF Hampton Coalition candidate) /;
Harris (colored), who was defeated i'm the
Petersburg district for Congress, and is
now so mad with the Readiusters Of that
district that he fails to canvass for Hooper /:
Joseph L. Wilson, OF Norfolk. and John :.
Wise were on the grounds early in the
morning. About II o'clock young negro
named John j. Smalwood. Jr., of South
ampton county, put in his appearance.
Smalwood spoke between Wilson and the
defeated Harris, Of the Fourth district.
1t was confessed by some OF the leading
Readiusters that Smallwood made friends
for both himself and Dezendorf, although
only twenty minutes was allowed this
young negro wherein to answer
Wise e. Co. / do not care to saw
word for one party or the other. but
Smallwood can well call this feld-day for
Dezendorf. He also spoke after the Goali.
tlonists closed, and told his people to stand
firm, and vote for Dawson and Dezendorf
lie Is young negro about twentv-four
years OF age, about five feet high, pleasant
Ia ascending the hastings, and one OF the
aDiest negroes in Virginia. Ii is said that
the headluster party lost negro friends by
attempting to treat Smallwood as they did.
lie Is brave and fearless, and appeals TO
white men and to reason and not to their
passion. He is highly respected by both
parties. and is not ashamed Of being a Re-
publican.
While smallwood was speaking the me-
groes yelled and gave cheers as though it
We're their only chance aud only love.

A Ride on the Back of q Catfish.

In the early days of Rome, about
forty years ago, poor widow, n
Mrs. Parks, occupied a rude habita-
ton about sixteen feet square, con-
structed of rough poles, on the site
where DR.. Gregory's residence now
stands. This poor woman had two
children, the elder a stout, robust
girl about eighteen years of age,
Martha by name; the other was a
boy of seven. One day Martha,
who took in washing to help sup
port the family, went to the spring
near the house, on the banks of the
Etawah river, to do some washing !;
her brother was with her. On ar
irving at the spring, which is only
few feet from the river she motto
ed an enormous catfish lying in the
cool branch of the spring in water
nearly deep enough to float the fish.
A batteau was fastened to tree
near by, and, stepping into the boat
she seized a paddle, and quick as
thought dealt the monster fish
blow on the head, which stunned
it, and the little boy, Scruggs,
jumped into the stream and seized
the fish, but in his excitement to
win the prize he thrust both hands
into the gills of the fish. The gills
closed on them with vice-like
grip, and the fish while founder
ing about with the boy, at length
struck water deep enough to sup
port him and with head to the
river with a mighty effort shot into
The stream with the speed of an ar
row, the boy on his back. A mo-
ment of terrible anguish aud sus-
pense to the poor sister, who was a
helpless observer of all that was
passing, and the catfish landed high
and dry on an Island some sixty or
seventy feet distant from the bank
with the boy i'm a fainting, frighten-
ed and half drowned condition.
The cries of the sister soon brought
men upon the scene, who took the
boat and i'm II few moments landed
fish and boy on the bank OF the riv-
er. The fish weighed sixty-five
pounds.

debt.
So here is a debt of ST, ,30l ,666,
that the readjusters propose to pay

this would be $7S,099 and for six
years it would be S5GS, 1SI, but un-
der the Fussell platform the inter-
est for six years would only be$lS7,-
326.
Why do the readjusters propose
to pay these bonds in full and only
