Rnt tiie most important revelation to
which 7 wish to call the public attention

And these are the people who proclaim

IF this communication fails to penetrate
the rhInoceros hide Of William Malone,
| I. in this public manner. notify him that
within reasonably short timeI intend to
make public matter that will wake him

over in his summer couch, then will l be
mistaken in my estimate of cause and eff
feet.
Very respectfully.

THE OTHER SIDE
The Richmond Wing of Tuesday con-
tains two columns of communications
from parties replying to Col. Woltz. Judge
Booker admits giving Laws check
for 500. but claims that it was legiti-
mate engagement with him as canvasser.
Geo E. Rowden, Collector of Customs en-
dorses what the Judge says. Peter }. Car
ter is lengthy and emphatically denies that
he ever told Laws or Woltz that they in.
tended to count Dezendorf out. and says
ey loaned. VIM. Gordon saw Laws at
Washington, Sept. 18th. and:
He requested me, as had the honor of
being acquainted with Senator Malone.
to ask the Senator to have him (Laws)
sent down to his district and employed as
a canyasser IN the pending election. re-
! piled that | would see the Senator and SUBJ
sequently did. Senator Malone told me
that he did not know Laws, but that he
was willing TO see HIM and speak to him.
I went to see Laws at VOLTS room, and
it was there where called HIM out of the
f, room and gave him Senator MahOne's an
swer to his request for employment. This
| il the only subject we had any cOnversa-
tion about at that time. and Laws state
ment to the contrary is falsehood from
beginning to end. and he knows it.
SELLING OUT TO GRANT.
At Straight-out-Repub meeting
in Southampton. Sept 18th, Laws spoke
and the Norfolk Ledger says:
In reply to Peter Carter's card in refer
| ence to Carter holding due bill of 500
against Wolff, be said that it was true:
that Carter did hold due bill against
WoltZ. bat it. was the balance of the
amount due him for selling out at Chica-
| 20 to Gen. Grant. -

1t will bewilder the colored voter all
over the United States to know that the
Republican party. through Jay Hubbell,
has sent $1,000 into Mississippi to elect
Gen. Chalmers, so long berated for the
Fort Pillow massacre of colored men,
and that the Administration is endeavOr-
ing to force colored man off the track
who is running against Chalmers. The
"grand old party''is in the last throes.

1t would not be bad idea. considering
the disorder and characterization in Gen Z.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
T have Just returned from visit to
Northampton county, where on Monday
last Colonel Mayo and myself held joint
discussion. I think convinced the more
intelligent Republicans of Northampton
that to longer support Malone was to en-
danger the liberties of the people; and
while could make but little impression
upon the slaves Of Peter Carter, am sat-
isfed with the result of my efforts.
Before leaving Washington. and while
In this place and Northampton, I learned
some facts which | desire to place before
the people, that will startle them into a
realization of the dangers into which they
have fallen by placing in power that an
scrupulous and malignant tyrant, William
Malone, who now holds seat in the Sen
ate of the United States
The following statement of my own, of
Laws. and the written proofs furnished =,
will show f6
THE DIsGRACEFUL MEANS sl,
that Malone and his followers are willing
to resort to to accomplish their wicked
ends.
Some of the parties have been my
friends, but am unwilling to see their
outrageous conduct remain unrebukcd and
the rights of the people jeopardized, even
to save the reputation OF friends.
If their characters are 80 different from
their regulations as to permit them to re-
sort to such unfair means as these devel-
opments show, then their regulations must
suffer; their characters will remain pre-
served.

How AN EMPTY STOMACH SAVED A
LIFE.-NO regiment from New Hamp.
shire suffered more in action than the
I welfth, and a narrower squeak for life
than that of Captain-but better known
as Elder-Durgin, is not often recorded.
In one of the many engagements that
the Twelfth participated in he was struck
by bullet which literally bored q hole
through him just above the stomach. He
fell amid heap of killed and wounded,
and was left for dead on the field. A
column of the enemy advancing with a
quick step moved directly over the
ground, and as they were marching by
he was barely able to make motion suf-
ficient to attract the attention of Con
federate Captain, who stopped, looked at
him pityingly, and said: Poor fellow,
you are booked through. / can't help
you, but I'll at least put you out of the
way of further harm;' so, suiting the
action to the words, he took him tender
ly ia his arms, carried him some dis
lance to one side and placed him in a
sitting posture with his back against a
tree. This saved his life, as he was
shortly afterward found, treated for his
wound, and ultimately recovered. The
surgeon said that had he had his break
fast that morning he would assuredly
have been killed. 'Thirty-six hours alb.
stinence, being short of rations, had con-
tracted the stomach and saved his life.

improvement of Mississippi River.

improvement Vi mississippi hlNtI.
The bill for the improvement Of the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers has been
taken up in the Senate This bill was
reported from the Committee on I'm
pruvement Of the Mississippi river. and
appropriates 5000, 900 for the Missis-
sippi and 100000 for the Missouri
river, the money to be expended by the
Secretary of War, and according to di-
rection and plans of the Mississippi
river commission. AS it contains, how
ever, a proviso to the effect that the ap-
preparation shall not be used for
the construction of levees, this
clause is anything but satisfactory
to the majority of Congressman from
the Mississippi valley. A determined eff
fort 20 remove the restriction, or at least
greatly modify it, will be made, as many
believe that only by thorough system
of levees can the low lands along the
Father of Waters" be protected. The
bill viii meet with stout opposition, and
especially will any effort to devote the
appropriation to levees be fought 1t is
contended by the opponents of the meas
ure that the States which suffer from
overflow should construct the levees ne.
cessary to prevent it, while in behalf of
the proposition to impose this duty upon
the General Government it is claimed
that the States cannot afford to perform
a work of such magnitude. This bill
will claim the attention of the Senate for
some days probably.

On Monday last several interested
members OF the Chamber of Commerce
met and discussed the advissbility of
memorializing Congress against anti
Chinese legislation. Mr.. Charles S.
Smith volunteered to seek the co-opers-
ton Of the leading commercial houses
in New York. Drawing up petition,
he sought the signatures Of influential
men in commercial and financial circles.
His efforts were more successful than be
had anticipated. The petition asserted
that any legislation restricting or OBJ
structing Chinese immigration to this
country would be an sffront to
friendly nation, would occasion Tetalia-
tory measures, and largely reduce, if
not utterly distroy the growing COM
merce Of the United States with China
a commerce which promises to reach
enormous proportions in the near future.
The injury which would be done by an
anti Chinese bill, AYERS the petition,
would Be irremediable Mr. Smith said
on Wednesday that on all sides there was
a hearty Endorsement of the petition. and
a decided willingness to sign it. Among
the signers of the document are all the
banks in the Clearing House Association
with but four exceptions, over ninety
per cent. Of the dry goods trade. all Of
the tea, sugar, and iron trades, over
seyenty-fve per cent. of the insurance
companies, and a majority of the leading
houses in other branches Of trade.
