AND so it turns out that the great out
rage" perpetrated upon Mahone's jackmap,
Gaines, at South Boston, Halifax county,
consisted in the simple fact, as attested by
the afidavis Of reliable witnesses, of bis
having been invited out Of the meeting of q
colored democratic club, into which, with.
out the invitation Of any one, he had in
truded, and informed that he had no more
business in that meeting than any member
of the club would have in a meeting of a
Malone club. and that as it was reported
ne had come there to break up the
club, an attempt of that kind would not
be allowed. Nor would it have been al.

Movements of Wheat.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, October 2S.-The
movements of wheat in the Northwest the
past week has been heavy, and receipts at
Minneapolis have largely exceeded those oil
any previous week. Receipts at Duluth have
also improved, but the increase in that di
rection seems to have 70 effect in diminish
ing the volume which is pouring into Mime
apolis. Stocks in tore at Minneapolis, Duluth
aud st. Paul show an aggregate increase Of
100000 bushels. Receipts at Minneapolis
for October will reach nearly 1000, 900 BUSH

GENERAL MAHoNE's Northern friends,
doubtless upon information obtained from
the General, put US low an estimate upon
the intelligence of the Generals supporters
in Virginia as he does. Governor Foraker,
in his speech at Staunton last Monday,
when comparing the price of wages in free
trade England with those of protective
America, was asked how he accounted for the
low wages-a great deal lower than those
of England-of protective Spain? His only
reply was, Il believe Spain has some sort of
protective system, but don't know exactly
what" But the General is right. His hope
is based upon the ignorance, stupidity and
prejudice of the men who support him. He
doesn't waste his time in appeals to un-
biased intelligence.

CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT. vii
liam ]. Best, fpancier who was prominent
ly connected with the affairs of the collaps-
ed Pacific Bank, of Boston, was arrested
in New York yesterday, charged with en-
bezzling s75, 900 rs trustee of the will of the
late Francis W. Carruth. Mr.. Carruth left
fund of s75 900, the income of which was
to 60 to his son, W. w. Carruth. Before
the Pacific Bank failed young Carruth bor'
rowed SIC, 900 from the bank on his person
al note, and as security for the loan trans
ferred to the bank the income Of this fund.
After the first failure of the bank, Best, as
an expert, was employed in practical charge
of the banks affairs. When Receiver Price
took charge of the wreck he found this note
and its security, and no record of any pay
ment by Best as trustee. The evidence
was strong that Best had used a portion of
the securities in speculation and had sold
the remainder outright.
Mr.. Best was at one time president of
the Washington aud Western, now the w.
0. & w. railroad.)

Tho Baltimore Municipal Election.

BALTIMORE, October es.-The municipal
election. the canvass of which vas conduct.
ed with more asperity than ever known at
anv election in Baltimore, is progressing
very quietly, and the indication at o'clock
was that very large vote will be polled.
The adherents of both tickets express
confidence in the result. There appears
to be quite detection in the ranks OF the
colored voters, as there is also in the ranks
OF the democratic party. The counting OF
the votes tonight only can determine the
result. Both parties are working hard.

COMES OUT FROM AMONG THE Foul
PARTY."-Dr. John R. Woods, of Albemarle,
formerly county chairman of the resdjuster
party, in card gives his reasons for sup
porting the entire democratic ticket, and
denounces Capt. A. NJ. Lawson, the pres.
ent republican county chairman, in the bit.
terest manner. He charges that Lawson
has arrayed the negroes against the whites;
that "his strikers and heelers have insulted
the white readjusters by speeches and reso-
lutions intended to drive white men from
the party" and that two years ago, when
Lawson was a candidate for the Legislature,
he circulated incendiary circulars among
the negroes, calling upon them to ''avenge
the massacre of their race at Danville."

II HAVE SENT Mr.. Mckenzie the money,
and he has promised to deliver the vote"
So writes General Malone to the chairman
:. of his committee in this city. There are
quite number of white republicans in
Alexandria who respect themselves and
who deserve and receive the respect of their
fellow citizens. How do they accept the in
formation that their votes are to be "deliv-
cred" by Mr.. Mckenzie to the man who, If
elected, will vote to send General Malone
back to the Senate? a man must possess
an article in order to deliver it, and barring
robbery, gambling and finding, possession
can only be obtained by gift or purchase.
The respected republicans referred to have
not given their votes to Mr.. Mckenzie, and
it is gross and gratujtous insult to imply,
as Mr.. Mckenzie does, that they have sold
them TO him. II they be the men their
neighbors take them to be they, will let Mr..
Mckenzie know next Tuesday that though
he has sold their votes he can not deliver
them, and teach him lesson he will not
forget about the moral criminality Of selling
votes that do not belong to him. If pro-
spective votes were more material things
than they are Mr.. Mckenzie would be
subject for the grand jury. What sad
commentary it is upon human nature that
man who has been so honored by the PEG.
pie OF his city should, in his old age, fall so
low as to be the agent for the purchase and
sale of votes for tho man who so recently
kicked him out of Office. And how eyre
giously General Malone was deceived
when he employed Mr.. Mckenzie under the
impression that he could deliver" any
body's vote EXCEPT his own.

A gentleman named Edison, resident of

secure the City Superintendency He will
probably be selected, though there is more
doubt about him than there is about
Poland. It was Impossible to learn from

that they are not residents of this city and

A Foolish GirI's Suicide.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, August 29.-This morn
ing the mother of Miss Nettie Casienbrook
living in the upper part of No. 294 Van
Brunt street, South Brooklyn, sent her to
the grocery Of A. A. Nelson, which is in the
lower part of the building, to purchase half
a pound of cheese. While the clerk was
waiting on her she saw fve-barrelled re-
volver lying on the shelf, and picking it up
she discharged one shot into her left breast.
She dropped dead. The girl has been de-
mented for some time. Her mother had
some troublesome tenants in the upper
part of the house, and this appeared to
affect the girls mind. Her mother. it APP
pears, has also been slightly derangcd over
domestic troubles, having buried two hus-
bands and five children. Nettie, who was
twenty-fouf years of age, was progresses
ing, and was engaged to young man
named Dennis O'Brien.
