How TO SECURE CUsToMEKs.-'That man
will hereafter be good customer OF mine,"
said the saloon keeper as business looking
man went out of the saloon as if he had q
pressing engagement
"Who is hep"
II don't know. Never saw him before"
what makes you think be will ever come
in here again ?"
Because gave him plugged half dollar
in change. The first time be tries to pass
it, it will be rejected. Then he will come
back here to exchange it for another one.
I'll beg his pardon, say something about
getting stuck once in while when there is
q rush of business, ask him to take q drink,
chat with him while he crooks his elbow,
tell him funny story, and he'll so away
thinking am all awful nice fellow. After
that he'll never 60 by without coming in.
I've made half dozen good customers with
that half dollar already. There's tricks in
all trades but ours. Many's the man will
give me-"
AS he spoke he pulled open the money
drawer and took therefrom the bill the
stranger had given him. He looked at it
closely, admirngly, doubtingly, and then
with uudisguised disgust:
mo, boys, I'm wrong. He'll never bring
that half dollar back. The bill is bogus! !"

Gallery, is rooted with glass and completed By a
large dome, round the interior of which runs
chain of gas lamps The lighting Of these lamps

Yesterday, before Judges Bond and
Hughes, at Richmond, argument in case
involving the constitutionality of the law
passed by the last legislature requiEing all
license tax to be paid in money, was heard.
The case was argued, and Judge Bond re-
served his opinion.
Robert Ross colored, who was shot with
pistol in the hands of Enoch Johnson, an
other colored man, near Falmouth bridge,
on the l4th instant, died yesterday in Fal-
mouth. Johnson is in Jail at Spotsylvana
Court House, awaiting trial.
Mr.. VIM E. Gayle, a citizen of Freder-
icksburg, aged 40 years, was found dead
last Monday morning in a small stream near
the Summit in Spotsylvania county. Ii is
supposed he attempted to cross the stream
on pole, and slipped and fell, aud in fall
ing struck his head against the pole, whca so
stunned him as to render him unable to eX-
tricate himself from the water into which
he fell and was drowned, as he was found
with his face downward.
At the last session of the legislature 4 bill

hone convention Wednesday was Superin-
tendent Loutkam, Of Clarke county He was
very active on the floor of the convention.
His action is held to be in direct violation of
the law, and it is understood that his course
was prompted by design to made test
case Of the law. No steps have, however,
been taken by the authorities in the matter
Lieut.Gov. J. F. Lewis, Of Rockingham,
gives the inside view of the way in which
Gen. Malone put up the job of packing his
convention to secure solid delegation for
Arthur. He says that the convention was
controlled by Malone through the aid of
the numerous federal Office holders who
were members. The minority Of the repub-
| lcans were allowed no voice in the express
sion of their choice for candidates for the
republican nomination through their district
delegations. All of the men chosen to go
to Chicago were named by Malone some
time before the convention assembled.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL %.

GENERAL MALONE has declared open war
uDon the few white men in his party who
dare to hold and express all opinion OF their
own that differs in the slightest degree from
his. His own paper, in reference TO such
men, says:
federation and indulgence toward these
impostors and traitors have only encouraged
them to further outfages ; impunity has Dat
tempted them TO greater excuses; ana Tue
time has come when the popular lndlgna-
ton aud disgust will kick and spew these
creatures into the bourbon cess pool, Where
thew properly belong, and where they may
freely 1isport themselves in thrirouIy congo
NAL element. Moderation and consldera-
ton have been worse than wasted on these
men. Having been often reproved, they
have ouly stiilened their necks to persist
ency in their wicked courses; and now they
must be suddenly and wholly cut OIL, ana
that without remedy. There is no use IN
telnpurziug longer. That policy has but
BETRAYED U.S. and helped the enemy. Not Oh
us, nor for Us, nor with rs, they should be
hurled Mt once out Of our gates mt" the noe
tile ranks, whose spies and agents they
really are, where they will speedily lose all
power against u for evil, and receive the
contempt even Of their bourbon employers
and directors"
The General knows that there Is no other
1Gau than hrnseIf in his party who can COM
maud it, aud knowing this he brooks 10 cr-
position to his slightest within.

AT GENERAL MAHoNE's recent conven
tion,the colored delegates were nearly all
assigned seats in the gallery of the theatre,
and those from white districts on the first
floor. This plan prevented the two races
from being thrown together and carried

DYNAMITE IN VIENNA.-During the last
few weeks the Vienna police have made
the discovery that there must be quantity
of dynamite and other explosives in the
hands of the Austrian anarchists not inferior
to that discovered in London. Some por
ton of this, it is conjectured has been fab
ricated in Vienna, while the rest comes from
America via Switzerland, where it is kept
until wanted by the anarchists in Austria
or iu other portions of Europe, perhaps even
in London, so that it would not be amiss for
the English police to extend their observa-
ton to the imports from all continental
ports. Concerning the manufacture of
these explosives, the police claim 10 have
discovered that during last autumn regular
lectures were delivered in the workmen's
quarters on the best methods of making
and safely storing dynamite, ntro-glycer-
inc and other explosives. On receiving this
intelligence the detectives made a raid on
certain houses and discovered three lahora-
tories completely fitted with all the articles
necessary for the fabrication Of explosives,
together with large quantities of dynamite
in different forms Of nitro glycerene and of
its components-sulp hurc acid, nitric acid,
glycerine and kaolin. The police are con-
vinced that many similar laboratories exist,
and therefore the Vienna press has been or
dered to publish nothing on the subject.
Recently workman was caught cndcavor
ing to smuggle basketful ofsmall explosive
bombs from suburb iuto Vienna, tho con-
tents Of the basket being detected by an ex-
ci,eman searching for spirits. These small
dynamite grenades, all of Vienna make, are
picked up in the streets almost daily on
the tramlines, but hitherto without having
done damage, the makers being probably
not sufficiently skilled.

TIE RESOLUTIONS of General Mahone's

The resolutions referred to were doubtless
prepared in the Senate Of the United States,
aud as doubtless were the cause Of Senator
Sabin's note TO Mr.. DeZendorf, telling him
that he would recognize the convention OF the
