Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
JUNE 10, 1884.
The friends of Rev. DR.. &. c. Chaplin,
OF Brennan, Texas, have information that,
although he had recently recovered from
the suffering he had been experiencing,
the cause OF that suffering had not been re-
moved, and his physicians had insisted on
an absolute discontnuance OF labor and a
return to Virginia. He had accordingly
left for Galveston on the 14th instant, and
woGld come to Danville by way Of New
Orleans and Atlanta, stopping over from
time to time as might be necessary for his
comfort. Mrs. Chaplin would me with
him. The children who were not married
would remain with friends and relatives in
Texas for the present.
Two cases OF some interest have been
disposed Of for the time being in the Cir
cult Court-Judge Ford presiding-those
OF Langhorne, trustee, rs. Weisig,r. trus-
tee, and others, and OF the Richmond Wing
Publishing Publishing Company Us. Wei
siger, trustee, and Others. The object Of
both suits is to procure the sale OF the land
Of j. T. Stovall to satisfy judgment. They
came up at one time on the report OF the
commissioner, and the report was recon-
mitted for amendment and furthur ac-
counts. Major Daniel was here during the
consideration OF these cases.
Amongst the cases continued is that Of
the administrator OF j. +. Hatcher rs.
John Henry Johnston for damages COM
mitted in shooting Hatcher. Witnesses
were absent. Counsel for defendant gave
notice OF motion for change OF uenue.
The readers OF the Dispatch are perhaps
familiar with the circumstances Of tn; { sad
affair; OF the shooting OF the late Chief of
Police by the Mayor in September, 1882
OF the trial and acquittal OF the Mayor in

grand jury and the acquittal in the Hust-
lngs Court. The reporter may add that
there were several opinions amongst people
about the action OF the courts in the case
OF Mayor Johnston, and now the case has
come up before the Circuit Court. Dam
ages are claimed, it is said, to the amount
OF $4,000.
