WESTON, September 4.-Mr. H. l.. Pow,
ers, of Roanoke, this county, was shot
while standing at the desk in his store last
night. The balls as we'll as slugs which
were used, no doubt with the intent to
kill, lodged partly in his leg and in the
door behind which be was standing at the
time. 1t appears from good source that he
bad just entered the store, coming from
the mill near by, and heard some one out
side, but paid no attention to them, sup
posing they were coming in, but immedi.
ately felt the effects of the shot that was
fred by the outside party. He then turned
and saw the person standing just outside
the door, but was
Too Badly Frightened
to recognized the culprit. 1t will be re.
membered that he was arrested here last
summer q year ago upon charges made by
parties in Indiana, but was discharged by
Governor Jackson, the evidence not being
sufficient to justify the granting Of the pa
pers for his removal. he is a quiet and in
offensive citizen aud no cause can be
assigned for the rash act. The community
is one Of the hardest in the county, there
being one cold-blooded murder and several
attempts within the last four or five years,

which they clinched and began prommel-

but had some trouble in enforcing his
order, no policeman being near. These

trouble arising from Mr.. Brannon having a

friends and the affair has created q great

The Tide Thought TO be Setting In In
Favor OF ii oadly.
COLUMBUS, September pa special to
the Cincinnati Enquirer from this city
says: The Democrats have evidently had a
turn OF the tide in their favor at the right
time. For nearly a month the Republicans
have claimed the boom, but II has exhaust.
ed its force, and for the past week things
have been turning in favor OF the
Democrats. There is noticeable re-
action in favor OF Judge Hoadiy, who
has been abused and misrepresente3 while
ne was afflicted. The tactics resorted to in
1872 to kill Greeley by slandering have
created sympathy and sentiment this year.
At the same time the Republican dodge for
a tariff scare has failed while the Spirit
ualists, liquor trade, liberalists, colored
voters and other elements are solid against
them. Although there remains but two
weeks Of the campaign, there is
Not Much Feeling shown
on the surface and very little betting Is in
dulged in. The State Committee OF inde.
pendent colored voters has established
State headquarters here in the Grand
Opera House Block, and is actively en-
gagged at work in sending ont documents
and circulars and doing all they can to
show their race that it is best for
them TO shake off political servitude
and support Judge HOIdly, who was
prominent anti.slavery man. They have
decorated their quarters nicely, and are ex.
pected to show good results in October.
The feeling at Democratic Headquarters is
excellent They are very cheerful, feeling
that their boom has come on the merits OF
III canvass at the right time, and that 1t
will hold on to carry them through on the
election day with a majority larger than
that Of last year.

Independent and Progressive
The virginia Vacancy.

RICHMOND, VA, September Ex-Governor
Cameron has pretty well decided not to
issue his writ for a new election in the
Seventh Congressional District of this
State. The district was represented in the
last House OF Representatives by MIR. John
Paul, a well.known Mahonite. Mr.. Paul
was reelected last year over Judge o. Fer
rail-, Democrat. The capitation tax re-
VuiremeDt was in force in that contest, and
the Democrats claim that Paul was voted
for by hundreds Of negroes whose tax was
ILLEGALLY paid. Mr.. Paul was returned
by a majority Of about 500 and received
a certificate OF election from the State
Board. After his election Mr.. Paul was
made United States District Judge, which
place he is now filling. O'Ferrell entered
a notice of the contest before his opponent
accepted that place. The Mahoneites do
not care to have Federal politics mixed up
in the present State fight, and will, there
fore, cheerfully indorse Gov. Cameron in
not ordering an election 20 hli PauPs place.
The Democrats are not anxious for him TO
DO so, because q member Of that party
might insist upon running, and in doing
so would embarrsss O'Ferrell in his ciai IN
for Pauls seat. He will no doubt he seated
by the Democratic House, but il Cameron
ordered an election it would result in the
return Of one of his party who would get
the salary until he was ousted.

The Mistake OF New York Politician,

ALBANY, September 2i-A special to the
New York World from this city says: The
stalwart politicians who have secured
majority Of the new State Committee are
concratulating themselves over the idea
that their committee holds control OF the
machine until 1855, when a Governor is to
be nominated; that it will enable them to
shape events for nomination Of President
next wear and control the nomination for
Governor in 1855. They have obtained
that idea under the impression that there
is no State ticket next year, therefore no
regular State Convention to meet to make
a new State Committee.
They are lsboriug under a slight error on
that point There will be q State ticket
next year 10 be composed Of two Court OF
Appeals Judges, the terms OF Charles A,
Rapallc, Democrat, and Charles Andrews,
Republican, both expiring on the thirty
first day Of December, lSS4. 4 State Con-
vention will be held next year to nominate
their successors. The terms OF all the
Judges first elected to the reorganized
Court Of Appeals expire next year, but
four out Of the seven original Judges are
dead and Mr. Folger is in Arthur's Cabinet
Their places have all been filled for full
terms. This only requires the election OF
two Court OF Appeals Judges next year
There will be q State Convention and that
will secure the appointment Of q new State
Com mittee. No person Gao now tell
whether the half breeds or stalTa-ts viii
be on top then.

Western States have 100, instead OF 92; the
Southern States have 12l, instead OF l06.
The Democrats will have q majority OF %,

There will be lgt Democrats in ell. The East

Randall, the Eastern candidate. cannot get
all the Eastern votes any more than Car.

ell the Southern and Western votes. There
ere some men ia New York and some in
New England Who will never vote for him.

II is quite as likely that Carlisle will get
