IN MEMORIAM.

The death of ALBERT MUMM, which occurred at
his home in this city, at early hour Sunday
morning has cast gloom not only upon those to
whom he was endeared by natures ties, but upon
his many friends and acquaintance by whom be
was justly esteemed. The deceased was between
13 and IA years of age, and intended going West
to college shortly. He was youth of fine natural
traits of character, quiet and unassuming, and
bid fair to prove successful in any vocation he
might have adopted. The family of the young
man whose earthly mission has proven so brief,
has been singusrly afflicted by the fell destroyer,
Albert being the third member Of it who has fall
len under the remorseless scythe within period
of fifteen months. The funeral services of the
subject of this notice were conducted by Rev. Mr..
Leubkert in the German Lutheran Church yes.
terday afternoon. in the presence Of a large con-
course of people who had assembled to pay the
last mark of respect to the memory of their late
friend and acquaintance. The remarks of the
minister were suitable and impressive aud as the
griefstricken cortege slowly moved out Of the
church tears glstened in the eyes of both young
and old. The interment took place in Ivy Hill
cemetery.

SUsPENsIoN.-It was announced yester
day that the firm of T. Robert Jenkins &
Sons, of Baltimore, dealers in meats, pro
visions and lard, had suspended The
house is largely connected, has done large
business, and its rating in mercantile agen.
ces was al. The recent decline in the
prices of wheat carried everything with il,
and the pork and provision markets have
gone down proportionately. Mr.. Frank y.
jenkins, member of the firm, says that
the cause of the firms suspension was that
the decline in prices had weakened their
credit, and that, having large consignment
coming in and wanting the ready money,
had had difficulty i'll getting paper discount
ed on Monday. He is hopeful that the sus-
pension is only temporary. Mr.. T. Robert
Jenkins owns unincumbered the warehouse
on South street, the large packing house
and lard refinery on North and Pleasant
streets, residence on Mount Vernon Place,
a country seat near Mount Washington and
a packing house in Marion, Ohio The
stock of goods on hand is tolerably large.
The firm Of T. Robert Jenkins & Sons is
composed of Mr.. Jenkins and his two sons,
F. K. jenkins and a. L. Jenkins. The head
Of the firm has not been in particularly ro-
bust health, and his sons have conducted
the active business for some time. Mr..
jenkins started into the provision trade
with Mr.. P. T. George, under the firm name
of George & Jenkins, forty years ago. No
estimate Of the amount of liabilities is given,
but current rumor places the figures at
about 100000.

RICHMOND AND DANvILLE.-The i'm
provement of the Richmond and Danvllle
railroad, which it was stated in The Day OF
a few days ago would take place, has al
ready begun. One thousand tons of the
q, 900 tons of steel rails recently ordered
have arrived at Richmond for distribution.
A Southern paper states that every foot OF
the track between Atlanta, Ca, and Alex
andria, Va, is to be taken up, and an entire
steel rail, rock ballasted track is to be put
down. When the improvements now pro-
iected are completed the trains will be run
through without break at an average speed
of forty miles an hour.
There is firm belefthat the act enabling
the city of Baltimore to loan the road s., )
900, 900 will become effective, and it is very
likely that direct connection with Baltimore
over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will
be made. In that event trains will run
through from Atlanta into the Baltimore
and Ohio depot in Baltimore, and the trav-
eler need not leave bis seat from the time he
takes it at Atlanta until be reaches his des-
tination. A new bridge across the Potomac
will be built, so as to avoid any break at
Washington. Day.

ATTACK ON BLAINE.-The New York
Ecening Post of Monday devoted more than q
column to personal attack upon Blaine, and
practically gives notice that ifhe is nomina-
ted it will bolt the ticket and support the
democratic candidate. 1t divides it's ndict-
ment of him into six parts. Two of the
counts charge him with prosttuting the
speakership to forward Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad schemes; the third
with suspicious Northen Pacific Railroad
transactions the fourth with breaking his
word regarding the Milligan letters; the
fifth with sensational, unsound and unsafe
administration of the Office of Secretary of
State, and the sixth with packing the con.
vention and organizing literary bureaus.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 8.

Now THAT General Longstreet has DE-
clared against negro leadership OF the re-
publican party, petitions from his STATE are
pouring into Washington for his removal
from the United States marshalshlp OF
Georgia. As long as his disqualification
consisted only of nefficiency in the manage
ment of his Office he was good enough
marshal for Southern State, but having
taken the anti-republican ground that negro
rule is not the best rule IN the South, his
removal is demanded. Were it not that
the General heads the Georgia delegation
to the national republican convention, and
being in office is necessarily for Arthur, he
woula be removed on the instant. But
what's the matter with Southern republl-
cans apyhowo Wise thinks the negroes
only good enough to come into his Kitchen
Malone SAYS that only the best men IN

negroes must be sent as delegates TO

knowledged fact that the negroes supply

The First National Bank of St. Adams, VT,

The congregation of the New York Madi'

CoUPoNS-The State board of sinking
fund commissioners met in Richmond yes
terday for the purpose of constituting an
act Of the legislature intended to set apart
fund for the payment of interest on the
public debt and the purchase of coupon
bonds The hitch in the law grew out of
the fact thatin the printed and engrossed bill
the words ''unmatured coupons" appear,
while the enrolled bill has the words ina
tured coupons" The board decided that
the enrolled bill signed by the governor was
the law of the land, and The commissioners
will at once proceed to appropriate 100000
out of the surplus in the state treasury for the
purchase this month of 8 per cent. bonds,
with all of the matured coupons attached
thereto" Offers for the sale of these bonds
can be made up to the twentieth instant.
The commissioners are at liberty, if the
surplus in the treasury permits land it seems
that it willy, to buy 100000 worth of bonds
per month. The character ofthe new 3's to
to be bought-"with all matured coupons
attached" -will give an impulse to funding.
Old bonds will have to be funded under the
Riddleberger bill so that bidders may have
new 3's to deliver with all matured cou.
pons attached" All new 3's bear date July
l, 1882.

are sorry to announce that II. G.. Moffett,
ir., our Commemorative Attorney, and re-
Gently elected by the Legislature Commits
sioner Of Railroads for the State of Virginia,
has met with a distressing calamity by
which he has lost an eye, and at one time
fears were entertained that both would be
lost. This unfortunate loss seems to have
resulted from no known cause, save that
some foreign matter of viruIent character
became introduced into the eye, causing
the most intolerable agony from which relief
was only obtained after the permanent loss
of the sight and the serious affection Of the
other This will be matter of regret not
only n the county but throughout the State,
for young as Mr.. NJ. is he has become per-
sonally known throughout it, and his many
friends will read the announcement with
sincere sorrow and sympathy.
The matter of our railroad will take some
character of practical shape at our coming
April Court, when the committee having
the matter in charge will move Judge
Strother to grant an order by which the
vote of the county can be taken on the mat
ter of o subscription and the amount our
people will be willing to aid in this most
important matter There can hardly be q
doubt the county will vote a large amount

comes from those who know him, made APP
pication for the post of assistant keeper of
Wolf Trap light, Chesapeake bay; but the
keeper objected to him very strongly on
the ground Of his antecedents, one reason
being an allegation of larceny against him.
These charges were made know to the COM
mander, and he very properly declined to en-
terrain his application. Unfortunately for
Evans Lee is an active and influential repub-
licau politician, with considerable Influence
among his brethren around that section of
country, and lest he should draw off his
forces Senator Malone and his compatriots
have insisted that the young commander
shall be detached and some one placed in
his stead who will obey their directions and
give Lee and such others as they name the
appointments asked.

am glad to see that there has been re.
vival of the old Friendship Fire Company
and hope that both the authorities and our
citizens will favor it. Not only does it mer-
it encouragement in consequence of the his.
torical associations connected with the or
ganization, but the services Of hand COM
pany are really required. In quite large
proportion of our suburbs there are no fire
plugs and of course steam engines are USE
less; yet the people pay taxes and areas much
entitled to protection as others. The plan
agreed upon by the company is, l learn, a new
one. They do not propose to come out at
all fires, but only to such as they are called
by signal, assembling always at the engine
house, but awaiting orders. Their engine
is in good order, and they need but 300 feet OF
hose to become efficient; surely that ought
to be afforded them. have no personal

The WASHINGTON Republican calls the
republican convention which met in that
city yesterday "a grand circus" and says it
was "a spectacle upon which the enlighten-
ed world can look and laugh" 1t also says
of the primaries which elected the delegates
to theconvention, that "the cause of suffrage
was not advanced by them, and that the
scenes at several were disgraceful." The
vast majority of the delegates and of those
who elected them are negroes; and yet it is
to more ignorant and more vicious members
of the same race that the Republican would
entrust the affairs of the Southern States,
and for whom it demands Stree vote" and
mourns because General Malone says they
have it not.

AS Mr.. CoNGER put up more and later
money than any of his competitors, he was
elected by the Washington republicans one
of their two delegates to the national re-
publican convention, and as the negroes had
to have the other one, as they constitute the
bulk Of the party, Mr.. lngersoll, contrary to
general expectation, was left behind, and,
as consequence, has probably lost faith in
republican institutions when conducted by
negroes.

BEFORE THE high tariff went into opera
ton every town in the country had Its own
manufactures. Now hardly any of them
have, as the tariff had the necessary effect
of destroying the business of the small man
ufacturers and concentrating it in the hands
of few rich monopolists. This of itself, II
there were no other reasons, would be q
sufficient one to create a popular demand
for tariff reform.

GENERAL MAHoNE is trying TO prove by
his Sherman committee that the negroes in
Virginia are bulldozed and inundated from
voting by the democrats But his own
newspaper, if there were no other obstacles,
makes that an impossible task, for it says,
no later than yesterday:
"rho Bourbons are perfectly willing to
afford them the liberty Of voting everywhere.
Even in localities where the negroes are in
majority the bourbons are perfectly content
to let them vote; Knowing that, if they sue
coed in electing their candidates. these will
constitute very small minority of whatever
body they may form part Of"
The General should either close his Dan
vile investigation or stop the utterances of
his organ, for one counteracts the effects of
the other.

WITH THE superior natural facilities the
South possesses for the manufacture of cot
ton goods, if the protective duty were re-
moved from the machinery and dyes used
in that manufacture, her cotton factories
would soon become the source of supply for
all the cotton goods markets of the world
Even as it is Northern cotton mills are
closing on account of the strong competition
that has recently grown up in the South.
