SCIENCE asserts that experiments indicate
the possibility of obtaining an echo from an
iceberg when in dangerous proximity to a
ship. It is believed that even an object OF.
fering so small a surface as a floating wreck
may in this way be detected during fog in
time to prevent collision. Experiments
recently made have demonstrated the FEAST
biiity of producing well-marked echoes from
sailing vessels and from steamboats, consid-
cradle distances away. The apparatus en-
ployed consisted of musket, to the muzzle
of which speaking trumpet had been at
tached. This gun was aimed at passing
vessels, while blank cartridges were fired.
After longer or shorter time, according to
the distance OF the vessel, an echo was re-
turned

The Virginia Colored Convention.
Special Dispatch to the Alexandria GAzETT


LYNcHBURG, Va, Sept. 30.-Between
sixty and eighty colored delegates are at
Holcombe Hall, and make up what they
term colored State convention. R. D.
Beckley, of Alexandria, was chosen tempo
rary chairman. They are respectable
looking body of men, and many of them
well.known in the politics of the State.
They will pass strong condemnation on
Malone and the Mahone-Wise ticket, and
recommend to the colored voters that they
shall either be neutral or, voting ct all,
support Lee for Governor. They will also
endorse the administration of Cleveland.
1t s alleged by many of the delegates that
the negro vote will be the lightest ever
known in the State. Republicans here are
mad, aud charge that it is John S. Barbour's
strategy which brings the negroes here, and
that he designs it for effect on the Ohio as
well as Virginia campaign. AS Sherman's
speeches are filed with charges relating in
part to the situation, Barbour is seeking to
reinforce Hoadly by showing q large demo-
cratic negro element cooperating with the
Virginia democracy. They charge late
secret meeting between Barbour and the
managers of the democratic campaign in
Ohio.

The FACT that the assassns of Judge

the disregard the people have of their own

will allow themselves TO be excited to the
extent of even deserving their business over

acts have little or no direct bearing upon or
relation to their own personal affairs, but
in the election Of magistrates with whom
they are brought into immediate contact,
and whose official proceedings have the most
important and puoximate effect upon them.

enough to induce them to walk across the

GENERAL MALONE, in vain attempt to
bring back to himself the support of the
white republicans of the State, who have
left him almost to man, tells them that
upon his reelection depends the political
complexion of the Senate, land that if he be
defeated the control OF that boayw revert
to the democrats. In this, rs in oil his other
dealings with the men who have once sup
ported him, the General assumes that they
are either too densely ignorant to know
that what he says is not true, or that they
will follow him, irrespective of his truth or
f,lsehood. The real truth of the matter is,
that the republicans will have majority OF
eight in the next Senate, aad that some OF
the better man among these eight believe
that the absence Of General Malone, instead
OF weakening, would greatly strengthen
them.

Col. ROBERT INGERsoLL, ultra republican
as he is upon. all legitimate republican
principles, says, respecting the sectional
question: "It seems TO me there is better
feeling between tho North and South than
ever before-better than at any time since
the Revolutionary war;" Yes, it is only the
Mahones, Shermans, Hoars and their fol-
lowers who arc blind to the restoration of
the amicable feelings that should subsist be-
tween fellow citizens Of common country,
no matter in what particular part of that
country they may individually reside. In
Revolutionary times the citizens of Mas.
saehusetts and Virginia touched elbows.
Why should they not DO so in the piping
times Of peace? They would, were it not
for the men referred to and their followers.

transparent attempts at gross deception

upon the most ignorant of people. What
are the democrats doing to Offset the Gen.

ical speeches, but every one having moth
ing else to do will read q speech that may
be sent to him through the mail. The
newspapers of the State arc doing all they
can in this respect, but their work should
be supplemented. There is certainly no
lack of material from which to make the
most effective sort ofcampaign documents.
That it should be used goes without saying.
