Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
SEPTEMBER IL, 1885.
A private telegram from Texas an
nounces the death Of Mr.. Samuel r.
Ferguson, a young gentleman of fine
promise, who, some four years ago this
month. left his native State to seek his
fortune. lie had prospered from the
first. as those who well knew his fine
qualities Of head and heart had pre-
dicted. Everybody who knew him in
Virginia will hear Of the premature
close Of his life with regret, for, while
he wa, anything but negative charac-
ter, he never had an enemy, his good
sense and calm judgment eliectua!iy
shielding him.
Some excitement was caused yester-
day by the burning OF Mr.. j. G. Nc
Kennels stable. The horses were all
gotten out in good time, but his hay,
Sc. were all consumed. The fire de-
partment was out promptly. although
the Grc was far beyond their limits, and
its location prevented the Use of hose.

nominee, Freshman, surprised and de-
lighted his friends, while his opponents
looked as if something had gone
wrong.
This county has twice elected Re-
adjusters TO the House, but now that
the issue is squarely between the Dem

question is settled, it may be counted
safe for Lee and Freshman. L.

GLOUCESTER COURTHOUSE, VA, ,
September 10. 1855. J
The announcement by the Democratic
Committee that Hon. Thomas Croxton
would address the people, and by the
Mahoneites that Carter NJ. Louthan
would speak, drew quite considerable
crowd on our court-day. Mr.. CrOxton
spoke in the courthouse to a well-flled
house in his usually happy and eloquent
manner. He made very fine and ei-
fective speech. Mr.. Louthan spoke
under the trees to some negroes and 4
few white people.
1t is announced that Hon. John Ran
dolph Tucker will speak here next
court-day. Mt.

Tie SUPPRESSED Negro Vote.


The suppressed negro vote - elect
cd JOIN S. WISE to Congress in 1882.
The "supprcssed negro vote " has
seldom failed during the last twelve
years to elect at least two congressman
from Virginia.
There were 100000 white voters in
Virginia in 1880 and l2S, 900 negro
voters. In 1854 the whole vote cast in
Virginia for both CLEVELAND and
BLAINE was 2S4,99l. If every white
man in Virginia voted, $4,000 negroes
voted. But the BLAINE vote was l30,
$50. SO that there must have been a
very full negro vote cast.

The State strikes blow in its issue
Of yesterday for common-sense civil
service reform. Wcare pleased to find
ourselves so thoroughly in accord with
our neighbor. Here is one of Its re-
marks:
"If those beclouded dreamers who
are monopolizing ciyil-service reform be
allowed to run the course on which
they seem bent, Guency in French and
German, excellence in music and paint
ing, and a thorough knowledge Of the
Latin and Greek classics will be soon
required of every scrub-woman and
spider-catcher at the capital"

speeches.

speeches.
rCorrespondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
CLINTwooD, VA, Sep. Q, 1885.
Ayers and Massey spoke here to-day
to o large, attentive, and enthusiastic
audience. Mr. Ayers led off in
speech Of one hour and a quarter, IN
which he presented the issues of the can
vass in a splendid manner. His defence
of the last Legislature was complete. and
be supported every position by an array
Of facts and figures irrefutable. lie
closed by paying his respects to John
s. Wise. Mr.. Wise. he said, had made
all unjuStifable attack upon his private
record. lie did not propose to discuss
Wise's private record, but he guessed
Wise would find enough to do to take
care Of himself in that particular record
and let other people alone. Mr.. Mas
sey followed in one of the most
convincing and powerful speeches
ever delivered in this county.
lie gave his attention to the issues. and
paid his respects to Wise and Blair.
lie said he did not charge that Blair
was dishonest, but if it we're honest in
taking over $4,000, when he was only
entitled to $500, he was too ignorant
to be Acknowledgement OF this proud
old Commonwealth.
The effect of the speeches will be
seen and felt November Sd. You may
safely count on Dickinson county Civ
ing good majority for the Democratic
ticket.
The best indications Of success are
that the young Democrats are all at
work, and many old men who never
took an active part in politics before
have put on war-paint and are fighting
yaliantly for the cause. We will put a
smile on the faces of Democrats all over
the State when they hear from Dicken-
son. SPECTATOR.

There were over six thousand more
votes cast in the Second congressional
district of Virginia in 1884 than
were cast in it in 1882. Upon the
strength of that very increase it was,
we suspect, that JOIN $. WISE based
his telegram to the New York Tribune.
That district has a large negro majority.
The suppressed negro votes GER
tainly turned out well last year.
