Treapnsa Case.

An interesting case is to come off in the De-
cember term of court between prominent
citizen OF Bath and the heirs Of deceased
citizen The first citizen commenced to build
residence in the principal part OF the city
and had purchased the material for the foun-
dation. The heirs of the property adjoining
informed him that if he built his residence as
intended he would trespass on their land. The
gentleman's motto was, "Be sure Won are
right and then go ahead" and he ceased
building aud investigated the records and
deeds. There he discovered that instead Of he
trespassiug on the heirs of the adjoining prop
erty they were trespassing on him six feet and
nine inches. The brick wall of their main
building was actually on his land, according
TO the record Consequently he has sued the
heirs for trespass, aud engaged prominent
counsel. The trial of the case will probably
take place in the December term.-Bath

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS.
A Specimen of Their Campaign Speeches
"A Raid Upon the U. y. Treasury
Promised.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-At Democratic meeting
recently held at Harrisonburgh, Va, McKenney,
one of he speakers made very fiery speech, from
which the following are said to be quotations: "Ths
Republican party Of this State is one-quarter white
to threequarters negro. Let it prevail, and eternal
darkness will reign in your fair land In my coun-
ty, you can tell by the color of his skin to which
party the man belongs. 1t ought t. be go every
where. i am a wh1Ie man. is our platform, and
upon that platform which should be good enough
for every white man. We understand this negro
party, threequarters black and one-quarter white,
is gro sing in insolence and impudence each day.
After a while you no more control them than
you can control the wind" There is
1925 000, 600 in The treasury. When the Demo-
cratic par gets control will take iron bars and
axes, and cut into the vaults and lot loose this
plus money, leaving shower of gold behind u.s."
This last expression ticked old avaricious moss
backs, who applauded vociferously. This speech is
said to be a fair type of a good many democratic
speeches viii h have been made in Virginia and
other parts of the South.
