". announce this morning with un-
allowed satisfaction that the Hon. J. L.
NJ. CURRY, IL. D., has been appoint
ed Minister p,enipossntiary to Spain.
The President could not possibly have
made better selection. Certainly he
could have made none that would have
pleased greater number Of the best
people In the United States. Owing to
his services in Congress and as General
Aeent Of the Peabody Educational
Fund, and TO other circumstances which
II is not necessary here to mention, DIR.
CuRRY's abilities are known TO more
persons than are those Of any other
public man In the Union and all who
know the man will approve the APP
pointment.
DR.. CURRY is apparently in the
prime OF life, though really not much
under sixty years Of age; and his IN
tellectual powers seem never to have
ceased growing in strength. Thirty
wears AGO he was member Of the ma
tional House Of Representatives, and
was then pronounced by HORACE
GREELEY to be among the most pro-
missing, if not the most promising, oil
all the young and rising statesmen IN
the South; and this at time when
southern craftsmanship was at high
water mark, and southern statesmen,
il is not too much to say, ruled the
whole land.
DIR. CURRY has never ceased to be
student. He is profound constitu-
tiopal lawyer, is thoroughly familiar
with the history Of his own and other
countries, is one Of the finest orators in
America, is a ripe scholar. and, withal,
one Of the most unassuming of men.
His versatility Of talents amounts to
genius and yet we may say
that be is peculiarly equipped for the
special duties which he has just been
selected to perform. Having profound
respect for other peoples opinions,
knowing that there are two sides to
every question and possessing the
ability to appreciate the force of argu-
ments addressed to his understanding
whatever his previous inclinations may
have been, familiar with international
law as also with the laws Of his own
country, selfpoised, anxious to be just
to all persons and consequently to all
nations, he cannot | ut be a successful
diplOmatist.
In the name, then, Of Alabama, his
native State; Of Virginia, his adopted
State; of the South, and of the united
States, we return thanks to President
CLEVELAND for the honor he has con-
ferred upon man of whom it may be
said, if of any statesman living, that he
is absolutely without fear and without
reproach."
"Be can't lie wrong whose life is In the
right"
DR.. CURRY is never wrong.

PETERSBURG, October I, 1885.
Joseph S. Budd, Esq, has been APP
pointed by the Governor corporation
Judge Of the city Of Petersburg, to Gil
The vacancy caused by the death OF
Judge E. NJ. Mann.
Judge Budd is a native of Dtnwld-
die county, and was for several years
Judge Of the court Of that county. He
resigned from the bench. however, to
continue the practice Of law, which he
found to be more lucrative. He is a
gentleman of the highest standing, is a
sound lawyer. and, personally, is popu-
lar. Judge Budd has for several years
past held the position Of city attor-
ney, elected by the Common Council,
which Office he will, of course, at once
vacate. lie will hold his first term OF
the Court Of Hastings next week.
A gentleman who has Just returned
from trip of several weeks through
the tobacco counties Of the South Side
says that about one half of the crop will
be flue-cured.
The city sergeant to-day received for
service forty-two executions issued by
the Circuit Court Of Henrico County
against citizens Of Petersburg who were
shareholders in the late Virginia Mutual
Protection Association.
As far as can be learned to-day the
slight frosts of the last three days have
done no damage to the tobacco crop.
Cotton of the new crop is coming in
quite freely, and our streets are assum
ing a much more business-like aspect.

This is the Bruce system Of balloon
signalling: An ordinary balloon Of
very translucent material is employed.
In the inside of the balloon electric
glow lamps are arranged. The balloon
is captive one, and the rope which at
taches it to the earth is utilized for the
support OF wires to convey the cleo
tricity TO the lamps. When the balloon
is sent up at night the lamps are caused
to illuminate the balloon at intervals of
longer or shorter duration so as to pre-
sent signals to the distant observer, in
accordance with the Morse alphabet.

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch. i
OCTOBER 7, 1885.
Judge Goolrick addressed the Demo-
Gratis at Masonic Hall last night. He
exposed, in an array Of strong facts and
hard arguments, the falsity of the
charges made against the Democrats in
the Republican platform presented
some interesting statements as re-
CARDS the support of the public
schools by the Democrats and the
causes Of the hard times, and displayed
the two tickets. He also charged that
the present self-called Republicans did
not want the debt question set
tied. Perhaps the points that the
audience took in most kindly were
those made about the partner
ship between Sherman and Foraker
Of the one part, and Malone and Wise
of the second part. And now, gen.
uemen," said he, ''you can see that
it would have been better for us If we
had failed in 1869 than it will be if We
fail in this canvass. Sherman has re-
newed the war against the South Fora
ker declares that there have been more
men killed in the South since the
war than were killed at Gettysburg,

Wise Makssa speech Grnen iosicnl toies.
rCorrespondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch. :
OCTOBER !, 1883.
John 5. Wise spoke here IN the
courthouse last night to good crowd,
about half of whom were Democrats.
The galleries were filled with negroes,
and some were in the lower hall.
Wise's speech was a very good one
from his standpoint. His opening wa
devoted to an explanation of how he
had happened to leave the Democratic
party. and this was followed by A
laudation of the Wise family, which,
he said, had come to this country
two hundred and fifty years ago
long before a Lee had set his foot
on the land. Led by John Wise,
with his wood-axe on his shoulder,
they had blazed a pathway into the
virgin forest, and settled here. lie
said that to hear the Democrats talk
one would think that they possessed all
the blue blood. Why, said Mr.. Wise,
grandiloquently, more than two hun
bred years ago my father and fore
fathers-. Here his genealogical dis
course was interrupted by a gentleman
who wanted to know if Mr.. Wise 5
father had really come over two hun
bred years ago. Mr.. Wise, not no.
ticing bis lapsHs iingue, and therefore
not understanding the gentleman, call
ed out Yes, sir ; yes, sir y
Mr.. Everett Early, rising, very de-
monstratiyely desired to know ii any
body disputed it, and added that he was
doing John Wise's fighting tonight.
This little piece of bombast was the
only breeze during the meeting.
Mr.. Wise then addressed himself to
the tariff question, and wound up by
rdiculing General Lees standing at
West Point and by trying to poke fun
at Massey and Ayers. QUIZ.
