LOCAL MATTERS.
Hon. j. Randolph Tucker.


HR WILL SPEAK TO THE DEMOCRATS OF RICH
NoND AT THE ARNORY TONIGHT.
Mr.. Tucker was in the city Sunday. Yes
tcrday he addressed the Democratic people
OF Halifax county. At ! o'clock to-day he
appears before a Chesterfield audience at
Midlothian. Tonight he will speak to the
patriotic people Of Richmond, and for that
purpose the Regimental Armory, corner OF
Marshall and Seventh streets-tbe largest
hail in Richmond-has been rented, and a
suitable stand erected for the distinguished
orator. Music has been engaged. Br.
George III. POindeXter, chairman OF the
Democratic City Committee, will preside
and Introduce the speaker.
Mr.. Tucker stands almost unriyalled in
this country as a public speaker. He is an
able lawyer ard a mastery logician. He
has had long experience in public life, and
is thoroughly conyersant with the records
OF parties in this State and Union. His
wit Is Irresistible and his satire keen and
cutting, though polished. lie as nearly as
any public man in this State combines all
the great elements OF an orator More than
that, he is devoted Democrat. During all
this canvass he has been at work-travcl-
ling. writing. speaking. He deserves well
OF us for his patriotism, and that there will
be a fine crowd to hear him tonight there
is no doubt.

No Electric Light This Fair.

The visitors to the Fair will he surprised
to see Richmond-a city OF II, 71,0OO-wiihout
an electric light.
No other city OF our size in the country
is without it.
II the city does not pass out OF Demo-
cratic hands by the election Of November
9th 1t is pretty safe to say that public atten-
ton will be directed to this matter, and the
liveliest sort OF fight be made. and the pros
poets are that the electric light will win.

Inauguration Of tho Richmond Home
for Ladies.


The friends OF this noble charity, under
the auspices Of the Methodist and Presby-
teriqn churches OF this city, yesterday as
sembled at the Home and formally imugu-
rated the enterprise. \ large number Of
ladies and representative ministers OF the
churches interested were present at II VI.
in accordance with public notice.
DR.. Hoge presided, and requested DR..
Read TO begin the religious services by
reading portion OF Scripture selected for
the occasion. The passage read was from
the 31st to the 46th verse Of the 25th chapter
OF st. Matthew. The hymn "IIow Firm 4
Foundation. we Saints OF the Lord" was
sung with great feeling by the whole COM
pany.
DR.. Hoge delivered an address admirably
adapted TO the occasion. He paid de-
served compliment to DR.. Gregg, whose
generous bencfaction had rendered posi-
BILE at this time the establishment OF a
home for ladies, and alluded in terms OF
deserved praise to DR.. Parker, who had
done so much towards the promotion Of
this Joint enterprise Of the Methodists and
Presbyterians OF this city.
After an earnest prayer by the Rev. r.
A. Peterson, pastor OF Centenary Metho-
dist Episcopal church, the benediction was
pronounced by the Rev.J. w. BledsOe,
pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church.
The services were very impressive, and
it was touching incident to witness the
deep feeling manifested by the inmates Of
the " Home" who were present and par
ticipated in the Inauguration.
The liberal provision made for the COM
fort Of the inmates of the Home" in the
form OF furniture and gratuitous supplies
OF all kinds is hut presage OF the bounti-
ful libcrality yet to be displayed by the
friends OF this noble charity.

shall DO voted for by the Mormons
who can vote. The dispatches say
that the Gentiles felt the contest to be
hopeless one, and SO many did not
vote. 1t does not follow, how
ever, that the Mormon problem
is as far off from a solu-
ton as ever. The very existence of
the law disfranchising poIygamists
must tend in time to weaken their
influence. The men who have the
ballot will be conscious of a power
which they will hardly be willing to
use forever at the bidding of men who
have not got, it. The fact also that it
will be necessary to the preservation
OF the political influence of the church
to have large body of members who
are not Polygamists must also tend in
time to weaken the peculiar institu>
tion." When the practice OF polygamy
is broken up the concern of the gov
eminent with Mormonism will be at
an end. Any man can believe that he
has the right 60 break the law, and
cannot be punished or disfranehised
for that belief; but when he breaks it,
as the polygamist is doing, it is time
for the government to bring its hand
down hard.
