CAPTURED AT WORCESTERSHIRE color
ed man, John Smith, charged with the
murder of Josiah Harden, of Garrett county,
Md, has been captured in Winchester, Va.
Smith is also charged with assaulting Har-
denis wife after numbering her husband.
The Winchester Times says 'that Chief Of
Police Forney, of Winchester, was notified
by telegraph to look out for Smith, as it
was believed he was trying to escape in this
direction. He accordingly distributed his
forces iudieiously to intercept him should
he come here, and on Saturday night officer
McCarty, assisted by Mr.. j. 0. Spur, ar
rested man fully answering Smiths de-
scription near Steele's Garden, as he was
coming into town. On Monday Mr.. Brown
ing, deputy sheriff of Garrett county, iden-
tilted him. Smith denied knowing the
officer, but Mr.. Browning was thoroughly
acquainted with and had conversed with
him only an hour or two before he commit
ted:the crime. He will be returned on q
requisition, and it is believed that in the
present temper of the people he will meet
with swift and certain justice. Smith was
armed with fine revolver and butcher
knife when arrested, but made no re-
| sistance."

THE DEATH OF SENATOR HILL 8
DAUGHTER.-An Atlanta, (Ga.) dispatch
gives the following particulars of the death
of Mrs. Ridley, daughter of the late Sena-
tor B. H. HILL
''Mrs. Robert B. Ridley. youngest daugh-
ter of the late Senator Hill, died at $50
O'Clock Monday afternoon under distressing
circumstances. On Friday evening, with
her baby a few weeks old and Miss O'Cal-
laghan, she went out driving. After being
out half an hour she drove past her home,
left the babe with its nurse, and drove out
to the Boulevard. Just as she turned the
street white man, Albert Thomas, and
two negroes Grove their horses by at a gall
Looping gait, hallooing and urging them on.
Mrs. Rjdley's horse, being very spirited,
took fright and dashed away at fearful
rate. The ladies jumped, Miss O Callag-
han sustaining bruises and Mrs. Bidley fall
ing upon hsr head and lying unconscious
She was taken into the house of Mr.. E. F.
Mayes, and her husband, DR.. Ridley, sum-
moned. He called DIR. Willis T. West
moreland, who at once declared that death,
or insanity if life remained, would ensue.
The lady lay unconscious from that time
till Monday afternoon, when death relieved
her, with but one misunderstanding
when her five-weeks-old babe was brought
to her. She extended her hauds, took it a
moment, smiled, then let it down with ex-
haustion, and again became unconscious.
Mrs. Ben. H. Hill, the lady's mother, who
was in Athens, arrived but was SO shocked
that her death is now expected. Mrs. Rid
ley was one of the most popular ladies in
the CITY,"

SiaitntOll Speftator
gpEsIsAY, MAY 30, 1883.

Malone and Cameron propose, in other
words, to pay their money and expend their
energies toward electing the Republican
ticket in Pennsylvania on the tariff issue.
They do this in the hope that victory in
PENNSYLVANIA on this basis will enable them
to hold the Readjusters up to the work of
carrying the Republican ticket in Virginia
in 1884 on the tariff issue. They, in other
words, make the tariff question a stepping
stone to Republicanism. The result has
long been foreseen, but the method of the
transfer from Readjusterism to pure Radi-
calism is now for the first time made
known.
The election this fall in Virginia is for
members of the Legislature, and if the State
is ready to accept Republicanism, it will be
known when the returns come in. The
sudden adoption of the protection theory by
the Readjuster leaders will deceive nobody:
it is now in Virginia a square fight be-
tween Democracy and Republicanism, and
we are not in the least troubled about the
result.-Atlanta Constitution.
This, says the Lynchburg Adcances is
what Virginia's old sister says of her; what
the great Democratic Empire State of the
South suggests for her sister by the express
sion of hope that she will beat this faction
and its leaders, as she has done, by stamp
ing them out. The ignominy ofattenpting
to Radicalize Virginia is only equalled by
the impudence of those attempting it. We
shall try to fill these frogs SO full of shot
this spring that they will not be able to
jump this fall. We think the meeting of the
next Congress will kill the breed out.

good ability, industrious, and the owner OF

April, 1880, he was made understanding

Observation-Disclosures bill for the bene.
tit of Irish tenants was introduced by the

the following winter on his Irish estates,
but was compelled to renounce his purpose
by reason of the disturbed condition of the
country. Lord Lansdowne's wife is &

is thus brother-in- law of Lord George

JEFF. DAVIS AND THE "PETTIcoAT'
SToRY.-In the State Library at jackson,
Miss, is a crayon portrait of jefferson Davis
as he appeared when captured. an.
Quad, of the Detroit Free Press, in an
interview with him few days ago, asked
if this portrait was historically correct,
which brought out Mr.. Davis's latest revised
edition of the celebrated ''petticoat" story:
81 had lain down. he said, without
removing garment. had high cavalry
boots, pantaloons tucked into the tops, a
grey blouse and a soft hat. Upon the alarm
being given stepped out of the tent and
saw Federal cavalryman thirty OF forty
feet away. He ordered me to halt. At the
same moment Mrs. Davis threw over my
shoulder folded shawl l saw that my
only chance ofescape was to secure the horse
of the Federal. I advanced straight upon
him, feeling that he would fire at me, but
believing that he would miss his target
Had this occurred, there would have been
a struggle for the possession of the horse.
AS l approached the soldier he lowered his
carbine as if to shoot, and at the moment
Mrs Davis rushed up and threw her arms
around ma. The soldier hesitated mo-
men=, turned his weapon aside, and I
walked back to the fire and stood there until
made prisoner"

When Malone ssys TO the New York

rights in every res 5ect with them, does he

self in a position to say himself whether
white men of Virginia are giving him his
rights than call upon the negroes OF the
State to help him dem and from his own

what his rights and interests are than these

A REMARKABLE OLD LADY.-Any one
visiting the western end of Greenbrier
county, who wishes to hear bit of the his
tory of this section can do SD by calling at
Mr.. Jerry Nutter's. His mother is SO years
of age, and is possessed of her faculties to a
most astonishing degree. Her father settled
in Nicholas in 1886, when she was but six
years old. She remembers the time when
there was but her fathers house between
Gauley river and Squire Alex. Meetings..
She tells of "a time when they pounded their
corn in mortar; when calico was Is cents
per yard; when she spun all of her own
clothing; and when bears, panthers, deer
and wolves filed that whole section
Notwithstanding her age, she is very active,
and can walk. a mile or so with ease
Last Sunday week she walked five miles to
preaching. She says young people do not
know what a hard time is these days.

To the Editor Of The State:
The following principles should commend
themselves to every honest man in Virginia
No negroes to be allowed to serve on the
public school boards, to insult by their i'm
pertinent presence and the exercise of theil
unnatural and unwelcome authority the
white women of Virginia.
No mixed schools or social equality be-
tween the white and black races. The
Ehite people must and shall control the
public schools, which are maintained and
supported at their own exp eGss ard not by
the negroes.
We regard with feelings of horror, in.
dignation, and shame the efforts which are
now being made by few thousand white
men in Virginia, led On by INSCRIPTIONS,
malignant, end ambitious partisans to in
jure and egrade lhe greet body of their
own race by elevating Chs negro tQ then
social plane.
These principles we are determined to
maintain and defend with all of our natu.
raj and acquired powers and to the last
extremity.

ADVICE TO CoLoRED VoTERs.-There is
good deal of dissension among the colored
voters of the country in regard to politics
A national convention has been called tC
meet in Washington to consider the ques
tons at issue, but it seems to encounter
great opposition in some influential quar-
tiers. Many ofthe most influential negroes
bitterly complain that the Republicans have
used their votes in the elections without
giving them an adequate return in the way
of office.
There is truth in these complaints. Ever
since the Fifteenth Amendment was adopt.
ed, the Republicans have acted on the
assumption that they owned the negro vote
of the whole country. The colored mer
should break this yoke, and assert thei
right to cast thair ballots as tbay please
But they should not study SO much theil
own peculiar interests as the real welfare o.
the whole people; and at any rate they
should not be the serfs of any politica
party.-Neao York Sun.

A CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.-The
Greenbrier Independent says that, on the
4th inst, little daughter of Mr.. NJ. F.
Blake, of Fayette county, aged two years
and three months, was accidentally burned
TO death, under very distressing circum-
stances. 1t seems that fire was raging
near Mr.. Blake's residence, destroying his
fence, when Mrs. Blake ran to it with the
child, for the purpose of extinguishihg the
flames. She placed the child on the ground,
some distance from the fire, but in her alb
sence it is supposed a sudden gust of wind
blew the flames to the point where it was
sitting and before the mother could reach
her infant it was so fearfully burned
that it died in five hours after the sad &C
cident. occurred,

Democratic State Convention.

A. M. Kelley, ESQ.,, chairman of the State
Executive Committee of the Democratic
party of Virginia, has, by request of Absa-
LON Koiner, Esq, chairman of the State
Central Committee, issued the following
formal call for the Democratic Convention
of July:
state Conservative.Democ Con.
venfi0n.
At a meeting of the State Central Com
mittee held in the city of Richmonp on We'd
nesday, February IA, 1883, the following
resolutions were adopted:
"Res0lped, That general Convention
of the Conservative Democracy of Virginia
be held in the city of Lynchburg on Wednes-
day the 25ah day of July, 1888, at IL o'clock
NJ, to take such action in regard to all mat
tiers pertaining to the interests of the Con-
servative-Democratic party of Virginia as
it may deem conducive to its future har-
mony. All Conservative Democrats OPP
posed to Radicalism and Bossism are equal
ly entitled to participate in the election of
delegates to the Convention.
"ReSotUed, That every city and county
shall be entitled to one delegate and one al
ternate for every 200 votes, and fraction OF
200 votes in excess of 100 votes, cast in each
city or county for the two Hancock
English electoral tickets in the last Presi-
Dental election"
In the spirit of these resolutions, the
State Central Committee earnestly invokes
the Democratic and Conservative voters OF
Virginia, irrespective of past differences,
to come together Though theirfreely chosen
and indicated delegates and take counsel for
the good of their party and their State.
| In the near future the people must deter
mine whether Virginia is to wear forever
the degrading yoke of a bossism which every
other State has thrown off, and her demo-
| cratic people are TO be sold and delivered
| for a price to a corrupt and false republi-
canism which the Oldest and staunchest
Republican States have recently repudiated
with victorious scorn
| A malign influence has drawn the color
line openly and plainly, and banded the
black vote against us by all the well-gnown
appliances which affect that class of people
| Nothing that we cherish or hold sacred
will escape the faint and canker of this
alliaace unless there shall be found patriot
ism enough and public spirit enough among
| the Conservative voters of the State to meet
this menace and repel this assault with
united front.
In the confident belief that this patriotic
spirit, the ancient heritage of Virginia il
| still cherished possession of her people
| this Convention is summoned, and the com
mittee earnestly invokes the local authori
ties of the party tie carry out the full spirit Of
| the resolutions above.

CORONATION OF THE CAR OF Russia
The impressive ceremonies attending the
browning of the Gear of Russia took place
at Moscow, Russia, last Sunday. The
proclamation announcing the coronation
was made last Thursday morning by her
alds-at-arms, attended by several dignita-
ries, from the circular platform before the
Kremlin, which was used in ancient times
for the PRONUNCIATION of ukases, and also
for executions. The foreign ambassadors,

ton, which was as follows

following the example of his predecessors
and their glorious ancestors, to command
that the holy solemnity of the coronation
and anointment, in which the Empress will
participate, shall. with the help of Almighty
God, be performed on the 9th day of May.
The solemn act is announced to all his Maj
esty's faithful subjects in order that on the
joyful day their most fervent prayers may
be offered to the King of Kings, and that
they may beseech the Almighty to send
grace and blessing upon his Majesty's reign,
for the maintenance of peace and tranquil
ty, to the greater glory of His holy name
and the constant prosperity of the empire.
The banquet on Sunday was magnif.
cent affair. On the Emperor's signal q
