Unusual activity has for some days been
manifested by the tobaccO-manufacturers
OF this city In getting In readiness Tor snip,

will be SG4, 900. 1t is estimated also that
about 1 100, 900 cigars will be shipped, tDc
tax on which, at 80 per thousand, Will be
$500. We have no large cigar-manufac-
turers i'm this district, and the business In
this line il light. No cigarette-stamps are
sold in this entire district. The officers OF
! the revenue department have been very
busy for some days in preparing stamps Tor
| the manufacturers, and will begin TO issue
them Immediately after midnight OF the
Both OF April.
The exports of manufactured tobacco for
this month have been much larger than
usual, and will aggregate over 100000
pounds. Two of the heaviest exporters III
the country reside and do business III this
city.
The excitement caused by the recent bold
robberies i'm Richmond has been partially
communicated 10 orr people, who have
some fears that the bold burglars may pay
n visit TO our city. As q consequence many
of orr citizens are taking extra care for
the protection OF their premises every night,
and personally see to the fastening OF the
windows aud doors al their houses.
At q meeting Of the ladies OF the city
held last eveningthe Memorial Association,
originally organized in 1866, was re0r-
ganized. Mrs. David Calendar was elected
president, and Mrs. W. ;. Simpson was
elected secretary. An Executive Commit
tee was appointed, and resolutions were
adopted asking for subscriptions to enable
the Association to continue its work OF
caring for the graves Of the Confederate
dead. The Association has done 4 good
work during ITS existence, and has
been instrumental in collecting in
Blandford cemetery many thousands OF
bodies of Confederate soldiers from all the
southern States who were killed in the bat
ties around Petersburg. where it Is pro-
posed ut some future day, il the money can
be raised, to erect a handsome monument
TO their memory.
The O%dd-FeIlows OF this city last night
celebrated in an appropriate manner the

fine banquet was served in honor OF the
occasion at Jarratt's Hotel.

A stranger was observed on the slrce'
yesterday behaving In such a peculiar mar
ner that a warrant was issued Tor DIS III,
rest. He was taken before a commillc1 VI
inquiry, and his name was ascertaineu 10
be James III. Bell. Upon being questioned
he eeinced signs OF insanity, and was
handed over to the asylum AUTHORITIES.
This makes the third time that he has been
an inmate OF that institution. He Is from
Orange county. -,
A religious'revival Is in progress at the
Baptist church, and also ut the colored
Baptist church used by the strayers from
Rev. John NJ. Dawson's flock. Numerous
converts are being made at the latter.
AT the political gathering in the county
on the Goth several candidates met, ana
out OF the fullness OF their hearts spake
divers words with sundry voices. The
colored candidate for treasurer proclaimed
himself ga Republican," and, moreover,
"that he was not run by any ring or clique"
The candidate for the office OF Common
wealth's attorney said that he voted for
Democrats and Republicans both-an as
sertion which will not have the effect oil
gaining much confidence from either OF
those parties. What Democrats ana
Straightouts are bent on is the eXtermlna-
ton OF the Malone party. and the records
OF certain candidates are being minutely
scanned from those two antipodal stand
points with about the same results. w.

Planetary OccuItafiOn of Beta Scorpii.

From the Providence journal, April 2G.J
On the 21stof May the moon again occults
Beta Scorpii, repeating the p%henomon of
the 2Sth of February, at a more convenient
time for observation. This is a star Of the
second magnitude in the constellation. 1t
is also a noted double star, the larger COM
ponent being Of the second magnitude and
yellowish-white in color, and the smaller
component. being Of the fifth and a half
magnitude and OF a lilac color. The moon
is Just passed the full at the occultation, so
that nearly her whole disk is illumined.
An observer with telescope that will sep
arate the star will witness a superb exhibit
ton. At about IL O'Clock IN the evening
the larger star will disappear behind the
moon, and in less than a minute the smaller
one will follow. The immersion Of the
star has then taken place. The occultation
will continue an hour and a half. At 1890
O'Clock the EMERSON OF the star has then
taken place, the companion stars reappear-
ing on the opposite side OF the moon. The
occultation may be observed with an opera
glass, which, however, will not separate
the star into its components. The bright
moonlight will obscure the view TO the I'M
aided eve.

Tho Coalitionists.

Tho Washington organ OF the Stalwart
penublicans-GEoRGE GoRHAM's paper
the journal which General MALONE once
recommended In q formal certificate to lis
followers In virginia does not pretend 10
regard the Coxlitionists as anything but
allies OF the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
party. In its issue Of yesterday 1t speaks
out frankly on the subject. We will quote
n few significant sentences;
"Tbc Administration is against the Bour-
hon Democracy and all its works, ana I'm
heartiest political accord with those VINO
ere for the uprooting OF B~ourbonisan. Inc
coxlitions in Virginia and North Caronpa
are rightly regarded by the President as
movements al great national importance,
and they will have in the future, as IN the
mast. all proper support and encouragement
nj his hands. Independent anti-BourDon
congressman, like the six in virginia, the
three in North Carolina, and Chalmers IN
Mississippi, are regarded as the pioneers OF
n complete restoration in the South, ana all
earnest Republicans look upon them as
worthy Of respect and confidence"
The reader Will perceive at once that the
Object OF tut dboNt phtoci"HH
the Coalitionists that Mr.. ARTHUR Is ther
friend. "They will have in the future, as
in the past, all proper support and enconr-
agement at his hands" OF course they
win. They would call themselves "ke-
pubIicans - If they were not afraid OF losing
the support Of some OF their lumber VINO
are Democrats. "Anti-Bourbon congress
men, like the six in Virginia." are good
enough Republicans for the Administra-
ton at Washington. These six are JOHN
s. WISE, MAYO, LIBBEY, HOOPER, PAUL,
and Bowen. It will be observed that
the SIX include men who have
never professed TO be anything but
Republicans. That is to say, Mr.. ARTHUR
recognizes no difference between HooPER
and JOHN s. WISE, nor between LlBBEY ana
Bowen. All are fish that come to his net.
II there are any Democratic Readiusters
left in the ranks of the Coaiitionists, let
them ask themselves ii they have not got
into the wrong camp.

The IrOouois Club.

The Cincinnati Commercial has a theory
OF its own as to what was the object OF the
recent meeting In Chicago at which Messrs.
BAYARD, HARRISON, and others made
speeches. Whilst some people could see
in the utterances Of the orators on that &C.
casion a purpose to make ga tarifffor reve-
nue. only" a prominent issue in the presi-
dental campaign Of heXt year; others u
movement in The interests of Mr.. BAY
ARD as n candidate for President OF
the United States; and still others no
thing but the proceedings incident TO
an ordinary anniversary meeting OF
the ~Iroquois Club. the Commercial
detected on that occasion "the sounding of
a keynote by some who have hitherto
stood as free-traders in the form of tariff for
revenue only, Withdrawing that policy from
the Democratic standard, and placing the
party substantially by the side OF WILLIAM
ID. KELLEY and SAMUEL j. RANDALL IN de-
.manding the abolition Of all internal taxes
and excuses, in order that all revenue shall
be collected by n tariff on imports, which
they allege must require a system OF duties
so general and so high as to give high pro-
lection"
We are rather gratifed than otherwise to
learn that the %Iroquois Club are practical
men: for it does seem to us that if, as
everybody ought to agree, the internal
revenue system is to be abolished, there
can he no such reduction OF the tariff as
will make 1t anything else than protective.
and no such increase OF it as will make it
prohibitory or for protection only. A
tariff for revenue it will surely be, yet not
q tariff for revenue only.

The counterfelters seem to be prosper
ing, and they are unusually active. A
Washington special says: A great deal has
been heard lately Of a wonderful counter
felt dollar which, IT is said, cannot be de-
tected by its weight or ring. The reason
IL cannot be SO detected has not been am
nounced by the Secret-Service officials, but
its very simple. 1t is merely because the
dollar Is just as good as the one made by
the Government. Its weight is the same.
and ineness is identical with that OF the
standard piece. 1t is understood that this
dollar is circulating in vast numbers. The
reason for its utterance is because the
standard dollar contains Lightweight TO
eighty-siX cents Of silver only, upon which
the Government puts its stamp and calls it
one hundred cents. There is therefore a
margin OF from twelve TO fourteen cents
profit in their manufacture.

CITIZEN.
fCorTespondence Of the Richmond DisDatch.J
Rocky MOUNT, Va, April 2j, 1888.
The prOtracted wet weather which has
continued with little or no interruption
since the spring opened has seriously in
terfered with farming operations in this
county, and our farmers are very back
ward in pitching their crops. During the
last few days we have had heavy rains,
completely soaking the earth and swelling
small streams into rivers past fOrding.
These latter rains have been accompanied
by thunder and lightning of unusual vio-
lence for the season. Yesterday 4 tree in
the yard OF Judge Bernard, near town,
was struck and shivered by lightning.
The recent wet weather, so unfayorable
for outdoor framework, has been very suit
able for handling tobacco, and large guam
titles have been coming III, making the
market quite lively. Four factories will be
i'll operation here the coming season, and
III tobacco trade is becoming an important
factor in the business aud commercial PROF.

The canvass for county offices is warm.
ing up, and the candidates are getting
down to hard work. As has been stated
in this correspondence heretofore. the Con-
seryatiyes made party nominations for all
the offices to be filled in the MAY elections.
The Coalitionists have held no regular
convention, but have their men in the field.
who will receive the united party vote.
AT present they have several candidates
for the office OF treasurer, but this
is done most probably for a purpose, and in
due time all will retire except m upon
whom all their strength will be concen-
trated. The generally received opinion is
that the Mahoneites have no hope OF sue
cess In any OF the important offices except
that OF sheriff, and while they put up cam
didates for all Of The offices, who will gene.
rally get the party vote, their man ener.
giles Will be directed TO securing this one
position. This Is doubtless the true state
OF the case, and they are rallying their dis
organized and shattered forces over this

party In this county will be hopelessly and

T,.c washincfon.County Platform.

Resolved, We congratulate the Demo-
cratic party throughout the State and the
country at large that the only practical
questions which for some years past have
divided its members and weakened its
power has finally been referred to the
courts, whose decisions all true citizens
| will recognize and respect; and that by the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court, lately rendered in the case OF Hart
man Us. Greenhow. that =" bone OF conten-
ton" the settlement Of the public debt OF
Virginia, has been removed from the poll
tical arena.
ReSolred, I'd, All ground of contention
thus removed, there remains no reason
why all true Conservative Democrats should
not again be reunited, and agree. as OF old.
to swell the ranks and share the glory OF
that great national party OF reform which
is now sweeping with rcsistless force over
the demoralized and doomed hosts OF cor
rupt and %corrupting despotic and serlile
republicanism to an assured victory.
ResolUed, Sd, That we condemn as false
and traitorous TO the people OF Virginia
the action Of William Malone, who, OBJ
tanning his seat in the United States Senate
through deceptive profession OF Democra-
CIV, by the aid OF Democratic votes, cor
ruptIy Dargdlncu WIFI tHtsitI ~ hItuui,
by accident the President of the United
States, TO destroy the Democratic party OF
Virginia and hand over the State to repub-
licanism by bidders of money and place,
and install in our midst an odious radical
ism, with all of venal and debasing in
fiuences and practices.
RESOLVED, 4tb, Believing in the purity Of
the ballot. as well as its freedom, and that
upon this largely depends the safety and
welfare Of Il government, we look with
horrsr and condemnation upon the frauds
that have been practiced in his behalf
throughout the land, and especially in Our
midst, by the money and instrumentalitieS
Of corrup.ing monopolies and rings. and
pledge ourselves to remedy the evil with
speed and certainty.
Resolved, 9TH. Believing in the education
Of the people as one of the means OF pre-
serving the purity OF our institutions, we
will ever cherish, maintain, and advance
the interest OF our public free schools
