Elections.

3or the city Offices In Cincinnati yesterday,
when the regular annual election took
Mace, received a good send-off for the cleo
t,ons of next fall for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor. membcrs OF the Legislature, &c.
A Republican victory, however, would
mean much more than would Democratic
victory. The former would indicate that
The Germans had renewed their allegiance
TO the Republican party. and that the State
Of Ohio would next fall probably vote the
Republican ticket. GAS goes Hamil-
ton county SO. goes the State" say
the people Of Ohio before their
elections take place; and they gen.
orally make a true prediction when
they saw so. On the other hand, cyea II
the Democrats carried Cincinnati yesterday
that would not be proof positive that they
could carry Ohio next November. The
Germans may have voted the Democratic
ticket Yesterday, and yet may return to the
Republican fold before the next election.
Their dissatisfaction with the course OF the
last Republican Legislature may disappear
before the time for that election. There
fore, Republican victory ip Cincinnati
yesterday would surely be something for
the Republicans to crow over. A Demo-
cratic victory will be encouraging, but not
decisive Of the result OF the next voting.
The elections in Rhode Island for Cover
nor, Lieutenant-Ciovern members OF the
General Assembly, &C., will take place to-
morrow, Ex-Governor SPRAGUE's candi-
dacy has attracted no little attention to the
little Stlte. We cannot tell whether the
prospect OF his election is bright or other
wise. He has evidently convinced the Re-
publicans that it is possible for the Demo-
Gratis and dissatisfied Republicans to carry
the State. Consequently the Republicans
are making strenuous efforts to secure the
success OF their candidates. There are some
Democrats who refuse to support Mr..
SPRAGUE. These have brought out candi-
dates of their own for the State offices.
They are but few in number; but very
small number of voters will hold the BAL
ance OF power in Rhode Island tomorrow,
and small number may defeat the elec-
ton OF Mr.. SPRAGUE by remaining neutral
as between him and the Republican nomi-
nee.
Whilst upon the subject Of elections. we
will say to our friends in the counties OF
Virginia, who do not know why the Rich
mond people are not troubling themselves
about the spring elections, that there are to
be no elections OF clerks, &C., held in Rich
mOnd in Nav.

Georp,a and the Tariff.

Governor JOE BR0wN, OF Georgia, Is
known to be IN favor Of u tariff that will
give good deal OF incidental protection to
American indussrie 1t would seem that
his State agrees with him in his tariff no.
fious, II we may credit the statements OF
the Macon telegraph, which says:
"Thc State Of Georgia cannot be carried
by any party under any leadership in 1884
upon free-trade platform. II the Dem
ocracy declares for free trade II will
break up"
There Is no danger that the Democrats
will declare for absolute free trade. There
Can be nobody In the Democratic party IN
favor OF putting such a plank into the Ma.
flonal Democratic platform. What the
Telegraph means, We suppose, Is that the
State Of Georgia cannot bc carried upon
. platform demanding " tariff for revenue
only" This Is what the New York
Tribune understands the telegraph to
mean; and the former journal comments
rs follows:
"The thing for the Republicans to do
now, apparently, Is to pray that Mr.. Wat
ferson may be elected delegate to the
next Democratic National Convention,
hat he may be made a member OF the
Committee on the Platform, and that be
nay be appointed TO draw up the plank on

Alexander Davis (colored), better known
as "the African warbler" who was as.
saulted some days ago by George W. Ran
dali, stiH fingers. but in an apparently hope
less condition. Under the belief that he
was about to die, he made sworn state
ment OF the facts of the assault Saturday
evening before a justice Of the peace,
from which it appears that negro woman
named Rebecca Walker, about whom it
was supposed the trouble between the men
originated. was as much concerned in the
assault as was Randall. He stated that she
struck him on the head two or three times
with stone jug. The woman was there
upon arrested, and is in Jail awaiting eX-
animation.
Miss Hettie Jackson, young lady from
Richmond, was buried here this morning.
She came to Petersburg few days ago to
serve as housekeeper in the family OF Mr..
George +. Weber, was taken sick with
pneumonia and died.
The barn OF Walker Freeman (colored,
in Sussex county, was destroyed by fire
two or three nights ago. Freeman lost all
of his corn an ! fodder, besides horse and
COW which were stalled in the building.
He had no insurance on the property.
Information from the fruit sections in
North Carolina is to the effect that the
peaches and pears and small fruits were
greatly injured by the heavy snow Of last
week. The trees and vines were all in full
bloom at the time. The 1st day OF April
was ushered in here with snow, hail, and
ram, which fell most of the day.
At the Washlngton-Street Methodist
Episcopal church yesterday twelve persons

Two Hungarians dropped of the train at
this point yesterday, and as no one here
can interpret their language, it is not
known what their destination Is or why
they came TO Petersburg. 1t is supposed,
however. that they want to get to Poca-
hontas, in Tazewell county. and that they
stopped here because they believed our
little village OF Pocahontas, across the APP
pomattOX river, was the haven they wanted
to reach. Some twelve or fifteen foreign
ers, laboring under the same mistake, have
come here within the last several months,
and have been forwarded by The Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company TO the New
River terminus. ROBIN ADAIR.

A Pertinent Question.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

10 Tue LutOf " ttc DtNputCH
The Attorney General, see, SAYS he is
not required by law TO appear in the
Chancery Court Of Richmond, therefore
the Judge OF that court cannot be paid out
of the State Treasury. But suppose him
to have appeared in that court, does that
make it State court. and cure the defect
OF the statute!
II is well known that he has appeared in
the Chancery Court. DR.. BlantOD, the
Commissioner OF Agriculture, undertook
to issue an order taxing the fertilizer-manu-
facturers a very large sum. Reduced to its
essence, this act was a claim Of right 10 lay
a tax under cover of an order TO organize
a department--the exercise OF sovereignty
by q subordinate official. This claim,
which would have been outrageous il it
had not been ridiculous. the Attorney
General backed by an official opinion, by
on argument before Chancellor Fitzhugh,
and by taking the case from that court to
the Court Of Appeals, which decided uuani-
mously that it had not a leg to stand on

a singular fact was noted in Chicago
Thursday night. Alta certain hour all W no

The source OF the music was mystery I'm.
I'll yesterday, when it transpired that the
telegraph wire from the stock-yards, which
passes near most OF the telephone wires,
was connected with the harmonic system:
That tunes were being played over it, and
That the telephone wires took up the sounds
by induction. This suggests rather grave
question as to the results should the har-
inonic system be generally introduced.

The "Colonel," the fine imported Per-

w. Ficklin, Esq, fell dead in Rockbridge
county one day last week while his groom
was leading him to water. This splendid
specimen of hors(flesh was imported by
Dir. Gicklin in 1866 from France, and was
about eighteen Yeas old. His stock is
pretty fairly disseminated in this section
and through the Valley, and can readily be
distinguished by the stateliness OF form,
almost uniform color, and fine action. Mr.
Ficklin will have a stone erected TO his
memory.

centre, and the wagon rushing upon the
heels of the horses frightened them be-

its way into such depth as TO eiIcctually
