BRIsToL-GOODsON, August 4, 'S5.
The State Democratic ticket takes
well all through Southwest Virginia.
We do not think stronger one could
have been nominated. The Democrats
are in fine spirits, and the Ninth district
will give larger majority than it has
ever given before. There will be sen
ator gained in Washington and Smyth,
and we believe Scott county will send
a Democrat to the House.
The season continues most favorable
and there will be an immense crop Of
corn made. Tobacco is also doing
well. BORDER.

80 NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

WAsHINGTON, August 5.-The
President is il receipt Of number Of
communications from different parts of
the country suggesting and recommend
inc that he declare next Saturday ma
tional holiday, upon which day there
shall be a suspension Of both public
and private business. The President
is, however. not empowered to declare
a national holiday, as his jurisdiction
in that respect does not extend be-
yond the limits of the District
of Columbia. His authority here is
similar to that Of governor in their re-
spectiye States. The ACCESSIBILITY or
propriety Of directing the suspension Of
private business in Washington has
probably not occurred to the President,
who felt that all action necessary had
been taken in his proclamation of July
Odd. in which he directed that all pub
lie business be suspended on the day
Of General Grants funeral. The
President cannot make Saturday a
legal holiday throughout the country
beyond directing a suspension Of pub
lie business and recommending the
suspension Of private business. The
former lie has already done, and the
Recommendation for the latter would
not be at all compulsory.

CHICAGO. Aug. l0.-Until this morning
Samuel Brandt, a young man who travels
for a New York cloak house, has been
guest at The Palmer house, but the hospi.
table doors OF that hostelry are now closed
against him. Samuel is represented by
some Of his companions on the road TO
be a typical dude with a strong inc!ina-
ton to mash every lady who strikes his
fancy. This morning he sauntered up to
the desk at the Palmer and inquired il
there were any letters for "Nliiier."
There is just one" replied Clerk
BrObst, handing him the missive open
Samuel grasped the letter eagerly. gazed
upon it, turned red and then pale, and
stammered out: "This is a joke. | see il
ALL" At a nod from the clerk two
"bouncers' took the young man to the
State street entrance, counted zone, two,
three, fire. and Samuel sought a more
congenial lodging place.
1.-The Young man has been very fresh
about the house, and has tried 10 mash
several Of the lady guests" said Clerk
Brobst. This morning one of the ladies
received Il gushing note from him, in
which be asked her TO reply and address
the answer to Mr.. Miller. The lady
turned the letter over TO us, and we did
what we could TO set the matter right
The lady doesn't want her name men
Toned. She ia satisfied and we hope Mr.
Brandt is Brandt would say but little
about the affair, though he = not cast
down by tue summary treatment he re-
oeiyed. con, l made bad break and
got the worst of it," he said. That's
all
