We are promised rain, sooner OF
later, by the New Orleans Signal
Officer. He says there is cool
current of wind coming down from
the North, and when it comes in
contact With the warm southwest
winds, it will produce the long
needed rains in this section. We
hope these two opposing currents
won't fail to make connection, as
we need a good rain bad.

At the Tabb-Street Presbyterian church
yesterday Mr.. o. b. Morgan was ordained
to the eldership, and Messrs. Walter n.
Jones, William NJ. Jones, William III.
Camp, and William Alexander, were or
dained deacons.
The report Of the health officer shows
that during the month ending May Goth
forty-four deaths occurred in this city. or
those who died 90 were males and 81 fe-
males; II were white and SO colored.
Eight persons died Of consumption, six OF
pneumonia, and three OF heart-dlsease.
Two deaths were caused by accident. The
rate OF mortality was 24.00 per l,OOOper an
mum Of the whole population-14.OO Of the
white and 32.00 Of the cOlorcd population.
The result of last Thursdays election Is
still the theme Of comment, and among the
Democrats that result is looked upon rs the
beginning Of the end OF the coalition. III
is n significant circumstance that the Co
alfionists were badly beaten in some OF
their strongest counties in the South Side.
and that they lost heavily in all OF the
Others. The Democrats are in fine spirits
yer the general result.
A large business has been done in pea
nuts i'm this city in The last day or two, and
prices have advanced since Saturday from
twelve to fifteen cents per bushel. One OF
our large dealers purchased on Saturday
about 1000 bags OF nuts. The advance in
price is attributed TO the gloomy outlook OF
the growing crops. Reports indicate that
owing TO the cold and dry weather the seed
have come up very scattcrlngly, and that IN
consequence there will have TO be an almost
general replanting.
Information was received this morning
OF the death last night in Weldon OF Mrs.
Alice NJ, wife OF Mr.. l.. w. Br0wn-a lady
wcll-known and much beloved in this city.
Her remains will be brought here in a spe-

INSTRUMENTATION.

The Popular Science Monthly insults its
readers by publishing in ITS June No. an
article advocating the repeal Of all laws
forbidding the intermarriage OF whites
and blacks. The writer OF the article, II is
plain from its contents, was not entitled to
be heard upon any subiect-much less the
one which he chose this time. He actually
argues that the marriage contract is one OF
the contracts the obligation of which the
Constitution OF the United States forbids
the States 10 pass laws impairing; that the
section giving Congress the power to pass
bankruptcy laws might be construed to ap-
ply to marital bankruptcy. and that the ST.
preme' Court OF the United States de-
cided wrongfully that laws forbidding
the intermarriage Of whites and blacks
are not vioatlve Of the fourteenth
amendment. In word, the article
is us dscreditable to the intelligence
OF its writer as to that of the editor who
gave 1t out for publication. There is one
word which describes tit is % contempti-
ble." But though contemplate in itself, il
has been made OF some importance by be-
ing sent out TO the public in monthly OF
high standing. Among the charges which
it brings against the people OF the South i:
that they made miscegenation profitable
whilst the institution of slavery was in eX
istencc.
Professor YoUMANs, the editor, ant
Messrs. ID. APPLETON & Co., the publish
ers, owe it TO the public to make some eX
PLANTATION as to how this infamous article
got into the Popular Science Monthiy-no
10 the southern people only, but TO al
white people everywhere.

AND REVENUE COLLECTIONS.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatcb.l
MAY %. 1888.
People have not yet ceased to talk about
Thursdays elections, and the Democrats up
this way are greatly reioiced at the result.
It was close shave in Lynchburg. owing,
in a measure. to the failure OF many whites
to vote. but more to the frauds practlced
by the COaliti0nists. First Ward was colo
nzed by negroes and number OF white
henchmen, and ever since the day Of cleo
ton these emigrants have been moving
back to their actual homes. The commits
sioncrs OF election to-day certified the re-
suit to the clerk OF the court.
The funeral Of Mrs. J. u. Bell, who died
Saturday OF consumption, took place yes
terday afternoon at the First Baptist church.
The purpose OF the Norfolk and West
ern railroad authorities to remove the de-
partment Offices from this city to the town
OF Roanoke has been definitely announced,
and n movement is about to be made here
to enter strong protest against the removal.
IL is held that a city which contributed
more than a half million Of dollars toward
the construction OF one division OF this
road is entitled to enjoy some benefit
from it.
The sales OF leaf tobacco lost week
amounted to only 3G7,21O pounds, a de-
crease from the week previous OF 400.
The total sales for the tobacco year to date
are 14,577, 500 pounds, an increase OF nearly
a million over the corresponding period OF
