SALOONS TO CLOSE.
The law requires that all places where

down OF the 9TH TO sunrise OF the 7th. 1t
Is said that our saloon-keepors generally
will observe this requirement this year
more vigorously than it it has ever been

temper OF the people a little liquor, gotten
by either eXcitable whites or blacks. may

hapS.
Ii is therefore with pleasure that we
hear that on election-day the best OF the

NEIGHBOEING COUNTIES.

the start. He will carry this county by a
large majority. The contest in Caroline is
closer, but the Democratic superintendent
reports that he expects to carry it. Men to
bet money upon the election OF Jones are
not to be found. We will carry Mancbes-
ter by several hundred, and Chesterfield by
nearly as much. The Coalition majority in
Powhatan will be reduced, and we'll give
them a pretty fight for Goochland Major
Warwick thinks he will certainly be elected
TO the Senate. Henrico is always 4 tight
county. but we are fighting under favor
able auspices, and with good prospects OF
victory; and so we are in King William.
