PLAsTER-We are informed that Nova
Scotia plaster has recently been brought to
this place and to Rural Retreat, and is be-
ing sold readily at 50 per ton. This looks
indeed, like carrying Goals to Newcastle, u
when it is known that in the adjoining
county of Smyth, fifteen miles north of Ma,
rion and fifteen miles east of Saltville, in
the Locust Cove, there is apparently an in
exhaustihle bed of gypsum shown by analy-
sis and experimental use to be greatly SUI
perior to Nova Scotia, and, in fact, to be
the purest and best on the continent. Many
years since party in search of salt water
sank a perpendicular shaft in this plaster
bed to the great depth of six hundred feet
without reaching the bottom. This plaster
is now actually mined and sold at the bank
to the farmers in the vicinity at the price of
two dollars per ton, and if there was rail-
road transportation from Saltville up to the
Holston river to these plaster beds it could
be delivered in Wytheville at the nominal
price of three to four dollars per ton. In
this age of rapid railroad building, when
railroad kings and capitalists are seeking
out paying lines and profitable investment,
this property will doubtless not be permit
ted much longer to lie dormant, situated as
it is in the interior, and having the capacity
to supply Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
North Carolina and other contiguous South
ern States for centuries, it may be, with this
invaluable fertilizer Wytheriie Enterprise.

lature at its last session passed an act re-
quiring all persons who sell tax-receiyable
coupons topay special license tax Of 81 600
in addition to the general license tax. VIM.

5000 of taxes for which he rendered cou-
pons, which were refused, and the treasurer
was then about to levy when the Judge

A MINISTER'S DOWNFALL.

There have been some remarkable de-
velopments, says the New York Sunday
World, in connection with the wholly unex-
pected retirement from the pulpit Of Rev.
Jonathan H. Daily, late pastor of Trinity
Methodist Episcopal Church, Jersey City.
He is young married man and became the
pastor of Trinity Church in March last, for
three years previous to which lie was pastor
of the Market Street Church in Paterson.
His appointment to Trinity Church was
made by the Newark Conference at the
earnest request of the leading members of
the congregation. Being an eloquent speak
er, and of pleasing manners, he soon became
general tavorite in Jersey City, and under
his ministrations the church membership
rapidly increased
On Sunday last, without notifying any OF
the officers of the church. Mr.. Daily absent
ed himself from his pulpit, and upon iuvcs-
tigaton it was learned that he and his wife
had gone to Woodbridge, n. j., on the
| previous day. Neither Mr.. Daily nor his
wife have been in Jersey City since, and it
| was stated by one of the officers of the
church that the pastor had retired in dis
grace from the pulpit and that his resigna-
ton was in the hands of the Presiding
Elder 1t was also learned that Mr.. Daily
had made to the Presiding Elder u con-
fession admitting Il criminal intimacy
This woman, it is said, while Mr..
Daily was pastor of the Market Street
Church, applied for admission to the
parsonage one evening, saying that she was
i'll and without friends. Mr.. Daily admitted
her to his house. In a short time she recov-
ered and an intimacy then sprang up be-
tween her and the pastor. The woman
then revealed to Mrs. Daily the story o! her
husbands downfall. Taxed with this fault
by his wife Mr.. Daily confessed all 10 her,
begged forgiveness and was parfloncd. The
woman then threatened 10 expose all if she
were eject Ell from the house, and IL horrible
| existence began for the unfortunate preach
er and his wife. The burden bC came 50 terri
BILE that Mr. Daily was frequently temp
ted To call in bis brethren and confess
everything. In The meantime. Mr. and Mrs.
Daily made every effort to rid hem selves Of
the woman's presence. In vain they tried
to get her places TO live. 1t became plain
that she did not intend TO loose her holdupon
her victims. Her habits grew worse. She
| began to absent herself from the house al
night. and when she returned she WAS fire..
uuently under the influence Of liquor.
When Mr.. Daily removed 10 his new field
Of labor in Jersey City the Stewart woman cane
| with the family. She promised that ii they wrni:
! only let her come To Jersey City with them she
| would do better. She kept her promise for -
| while and then resumed her old habits. she he
| came not only lss"lntc. but ns"lcnt and nubcar-
| able. Unable AMI unwilling 10 longer bear the
| ntoicrablc burden of her presence Mr.. Daily
turned her ont of the house. She then sworc out
| Il warrant for his arrest charge Of iniilclfiy,
and learning of this the disgracch pastor fled

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION NOTES.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION NOTES.
The announcement of the selection oil
Lynch, colored, to he temporary chairman
of the republican convention AT Chicago,
was made in yesterday GAZETTE. He was
placed in nomination by II. {. Lodge, OF
Mass, and the nomination seconded by ST.
las Z. butcher, of New York. When Eir-
ginia was called Gen. Mahonc's name head
ed the list Of delegates and when the Sec
rotary called upon him to record his vote
and he stood up to speak Il great yell went
| up all over the house, and the colored del
egates waved their-hats and handkcrchicis
franticaliy. Senator Malone announced
his vote for Lynch, and another hostcrOus
demonstration was made. The nomination
was made unanimous on motion OF Clayton,
his opponent.
Lynch, when his name was called, cast
his vote for Clayton. DIR. Green, who lost
his arm in the war, in his speech in favor OF
Lynch, intended TO mention the fact that
Clayton's arm was shot of several years af-
ter the war, while he was cunning for par
tridges, but ne concluded not to do so. OF
the Virginia delegation, Stewart, Scott Sims
and Houston voted for Clayton.
Malone declined to appear before the
committee on credentials to argue his case.
He said he would leave the matter entirely
with the convention, and if they do not
want him with his 10000 votes behind him
he can go home The belief seems to be
that the convention will refuse to unscat
him, although considerable opposition will
be made to him.
No roars Of applause greeted any of the
delegates on entering, and only in the case
Of General Malone, whose appearance al
ways makes him an object of interest, was
there the faintest attempt at demonstration
Of any kind
The committee on organization was in
session till a late hour last night. After
electing George B. Williams, of Indiana,
chairman, the committee proceeded to
the election of permanent chairman and
secretary of the convention. Hon. Galusha
A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, was put in nom
ination by the friends of Blaine, and j. G..
Henderson, of Missouri, by the opposition.
Henderson was elected by a vote of 20 to II.
The committee on credentials had only con-
sidered the contested Alabama case up to
midnight

FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondence Of the Alexandra Gazette.
ASHIHGTON. u. c.. June /, 1884.

Especial Correspondence OF the ALEXANDRIA ltahcttel
WASHINGTON. u. c., June i. 1884.
The Capitol was exceedingly dull to-day
the Senate not being III session. and there
being nothing Important before the House,
and hui few members Of that body In their
seats. The Presidential candidates among
the republican Senators were III their re-
spectve committee rooms, to which the
pages carried the Geographic bulletins from
Chicago as soon as received. Senator Sher-
man, when talked To Oh the subject OF the
nomination, said his chance was now the
best 1t is thought here that the telegram
of General Sherman to ex-senator Hender-
derson. who will be- the permanent Presi-
dent of the convention, that he would ac-
cept neither II nomination nor au election,
was intended to induce his friends to throw
their strength to his brother. The House
was occupied for an hour on the subject OF
the Brook yn postofTice, and finally adopted
a report that neither the Secretary of the
Treasury nor the Supervising Architect had
been guilty Of any croUkednes in fixing
the site of that building. 1t then passed Il
bill furieiling certain land grants to the Or
egon Central railroad.
The House Ways and Means Committee
talked about the Hewitt tariff bill again
this morning, but up to one O'Clock had come
to no conclusion on the subject.
The facts that Mr. John S.Wise offered to
bet one hundred dollars yesterday that
Powell Clayton would beat the negro
Lynch for temporary president of the ma
tionai republican convention, and that Gen
eral Malone cast the vote of the Virginia
delegation for Lynch show, that he is not
in the Generals secrets.
The bill authorizing the sale Of the Gov
crnmcnts property at Harper's Ferry iol
not less than 1000, came up in the House
to-day, but objection being made it went
over.
Senator Slater. of Oregon, received 4 dispatch
this morning stating that Marion county, in
which is the capital of that State which usually
gives 100 republican majority, had elected
democratic member Of the Legislature. This, he
thinks looks Us il the democrats were succ' ssfu
in the election in Oregon last Monday, and will
have the Member of Congress from that State and
the next Senator.
A prominent Northern democratic member Of
the House, and one intimate terms with Mr.
ridden, in talking to-day about the rumor that
Mr.. Tilden would not permit his name to 60 be
fore the national democratic convention, said
there was nothing to it" and that on the con-
trary, Mr.. Tildcn's name would be the only one
before the convention.
A party of Bostonan capitalists and experts
went from here yesterday to inspect the new
heating pro ess at the Potomac works at AleXan-
dria They say it is complete success, and
that bloom of i,on, by it, was heated and cut in
two in twcnty-six minutes
1t is believed here that the action of the ma.
tonal republican committee in seating the Ma
hone, and excluding the republican delegation
from Virginia, will DO rati fled by the convention.

LYNCH, THE temporary president OF the
national republican convention, must be
quite an intelligent negro, who not only
thoroughly understands the character Of
the body over which he presides, but is bold
enough to tell them what he thinks, and
even to poke fun at them. In his speech
accepting the position, which he stated he
did not want, and that it had been thrust
upon him, he said
'sI am satisfied that the people of this
country are too loyal ever to allow a man
to be inaugurated president whose title to
the position is brought forth in fraud"
And then he showed his white teeth, and
his hair assumed an additional kink, as he
saw by the faces of his audience that they
had all with one accord reverted to the
HAYES fraud.

THERE MUST be among so large number OF
Northern men az have heretofore voted
with the republican party, some who are
sufficiently informed and unprejndiced
enough to see what is before their eyes, and
intelligence enough to draw conclusions
from political, as they do from any other
equally as patent facts. 1t would seem TO
an ordinary mind that the proceedings ut
Chicago would induce such men to abandon
their present party utilization at once, as It's
maintenance would indicate that they had
lost all regard for the decent government of
U,rei. country. and even for their own self
respect. At Chicago is presented the spec
tacle of Presidential nomination being
effected through the open, public sale of
delegations composed Of scalawags and
negroes from States in which the nominee
will not get one electoral vote, and of q
transparent attempt to deceive the negroes
of the South with the false idea of negro
equality under republican rule, so as to re-
tain their solid vote. by comforting upon one
of them the empty honor Of temporary
president of the convention. No wonder
the empires and kingdoms of Europe jbe
and scott at republican institutions.

Mrs. JEFFERSON DAVIS Northern ma
Lightly has for years past vented itself on
Jefferson Davis. Now, however, we have
another phase OF meannes5 worse than any
hitherto made public. A report has been
put aloat that Mrs. Davis gave one John
Spies a bouquet for some service done for
her. To this Mr.. Davis replies with his
characteristic truthfulness and boldn ess:
The story is another Ealsehood, and to this
general, l add q specific, denial. From none
of our captors We're such courteous atten-
tions received as would have induced my
wife to present him a bouquet in recogni
ton, nor if it had been otherwise were the
circumstances such as would have enabled
her to procure one. In a long life
of extensive social intercourse she has never
required such defence as is suggested. but if
she had ever found it necessary. neither in
the past nor in the present would she have
called on any other than her husband to de-
fend her.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY, EVENING, JUNE 4.

Mr.. HAMILTON WARD, republican, and
ex-Member of Congress from the Elmlra
district in New York, in a speech On Deco
ration day, said:
:: II protest against the notion of the blue
anfl the yray. + am an old fashioned man.
Idon,t call them Confederates; call them
rebels. It:has been called civil war, but
call it the most cruel war that ever cursed
The globe. and feel, when see these How
ers placed upon the graves of these boys IN
blue. I tell YOU do feel rebellious against
this sentiment that would make lis do equal
honor to the gray. 1t belongs to these men
who vet live, manned, who suffer from the
horrors of Castle Thunder, Libby and Belle
Isle. that we do not dishonor them by any
propositions to honor their we'll nigh de-
stroyers as we would them. Let us 90
no disgracefnl thing to the tomhs OF those
who sought to destroy this country; 40 not
even strew flowers, but do let us allow
them to rest in silence and undlsturbeo
where they have been buried. why 90 we
do these honors? Because these men, orr
boys, sacrificed their lives for principe,
Who in the hour Of the nations peril offered
their lives for its sake. Let us not do TINS,
so that if this country shall ever again be III
peril, that that man VINO '''S ou ZIG S''"
the soldier to save you and me, he may be
honored for that which he did. aud ieei that
the foe who faced him may not be made his
equal"
The fact that these remarks were re-
ceived with rounds of applause shows that
sectional feeling has not yet died in The
North, and that the bloody shirt is still q
potential factor in the politics of that por'
ton of a common country. Among all the
speeches made at the decoration OF the
graves of Confederate soldiers throughout
the South, nothing but kind words was
spoken of those who wore the blue. But
the South can stand it if the North can.

Mr.. Young, President of the Petersburg
Planters Bank. says the $4,000 got by
Gov. Cameron from that bank "must have
been an individual transaction between the
Governor and Mr. Whyte, the cashier. 1t
certainly was not discussed at any meeting
of the board of directors at which / was
present" He also says the cashier is a re-
adjuster. The more that is known about
this affair, the more the people are
strengthened in their long entertained opin-
ion of the ring who run the Malone ma

THE REPUBLICANS are very liberal to
the negroes in the matter of empty honors,
but when any material benefit is at their
disposal, though the negroes have kept
them in power for the last sixteen years,
they almost invariably fud white man

"the only use republicans have for negroes
is for their votes"

THE NATIONAL republican committee
agree with Mr.. John Wise and General Ma
hone, that Virginia republicans are "apos-
tates for the price of their apostacy." In
the history of political parties there is no
parallel to the treatment Virginia republi-
cans have received from the national organi-
cation to which they belong.
