The Place of Burial.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Iwish to correct false impression which some parties are trying to create by stating that the late Captain James Flaherty could not be buried in St. Bernard cemetery.
 The facts are that before his death Mrs. Flaherty, his wife, said that she could not afford to purchase burial lot in the Catho- lie cemetery. His sister, Miss Kate Flaher ty, agreed to defray all the funeral expenses and allow his wife to keep all the society money if she would allow his body to be buried in St. Bernard cemetery. To this Mrs. Flaherty gave her consent and after his sister had made all arrangements for the fu- neral his wife, through the influence of her family, changed her mind and positively re- fused to have her husbands body brought to the Catholic church, or to be buried in the St. Bernard cemetery. Rev. Father Cooney sent member of his church to request Mrs. Flaherty to allow her husband to be buried in the Catholic cemetery as he died mem Der of the church, having received the rites and sacraments of his religion, but Mrs. Flaherty refused to give her consent to such arrangements.

In accordance with previous notice.
State-Canyassers Hons. W. NJ. Cabell
and Thomas Whitehead were on hand
to-day to discuss the issues of the can
ysss from the Democratic standpoint.
About ii o'clock Oh. II. Sackett, the
chairman Of the County Committee, re-
ceived a note from the chairman of the
Republican County Committee stating
that Colonel Robert Berkeley was pre-
sent and desired joint discussion. At
the suggestion of Mr.. Cabell, who is
quite unwell, and it manifestly appear
ing that the proposition Cor joint dis
cussion was all buncombe, our commit
tee determined TO crafty Mr.. Berke-
ley.
1t appearing that no fair terms would
be accepted by the Republicans, it was
finally agreed that Mr.. Berkeley should
open in three quarters of an hour,
Whitehead to follow in one and half
hours, Berkeley to conclude in three
quarters Of an hour; j. p. /. Flesh
man, our candidate for the House of
Delegates. to speak one hour, aud the
discussion to close with three quarters
Of an hour from Franklin, the Repub-
lican candidate for the House Of Dele
gates. There was not large crowd
out, but those present listened atten-
lively to the speakers. If public dis
cussiOn ever does any good to the Dem
ocratic party, it was done to-day. Your
correspondent was at some pains to
learn the impression produced by the
speeches, and can safely say that White
head and Fleshman had complete vic
tory. Indeed, Colonel Berkeley speech
excited pity for the man in the breast
of many Of his acquaintance, while
Whitehead more than sustained his
reputation as one of the ablest can
vsssers in the State. Well done, Tom !;

Of the minority have on certain occa'

considered that during the late Admin

measure. nearly the whole Offices oil tine
United States were monopolized by that
sect when the public sentiment a'

those whose opinions they approved
was it to be imagined that this mo-
nopoly Of office was to be continued IN
the hands of the minority? Does II
violate their equal rights to assert some
rights in the majority also? is IL
political intolerance to claim a
proportionate share in the direc-
ton of public affairs? 1t
would have been to me n CIR

have left 10 time and accident to raise

but that done, return with JOY to that
state Of things when the only questions

honest? Is he capable? Is he faith

made it more applicable to the condl-

quoted above. 1t describes exactly
the wrongs under which the Democrats
of 1885 are suffering, and suggests the
remedy for those wrongs.
Why continue in Office Republicans
who have not even yet accepted the
results Of the war?

SEPTEMBER II, 1855.
Over 800 workmen, the first install
mcnt since the shutdown in May last.
went to work in the nayy-yard this
morning. As many more will 90 in
next week, and as soon as the United
States steamship Swatara arrives the
number On the rolls will be run up to
something ike old times. Quite a
number Of Republican workmen were
taken in; and, though the Democrats
have charge, there was very little dis
elimination in making up the lists Of
men to be called to work. In fact, a
number Of Republicans-clerks, watch
men, etc.-haye never been turned out
Of the yard.
The salvage on the British steamer
Craigalion, brought in port by the
wreckers yesterday from Nassau,
amounts to $4,000. As the steamer
was abandoned by her crew, She will
become the property Of the wrecking
company unless the salvage IS paid.
The improvements commenced during
the summer on the immense coal-piers
of the Norfolk and Western railroad at
Lambort's Point. to facilitate the great

pleted. Additional tracks have been
laid and the accommodations for ocean
steamers and other heayy-dralt vessels
increased. Fleets Of vessels are now
loaded at these piers daily, and the de-
livery of coal is wonderful.
Cotton has commenced to come in
over the Norfolk and Western and the
Seaboard and Roanoke road, and buyers

Al4OlntA w
The Administration, so the New
York Erening Post says. has deter
mined to try to secure the passage by
Congress Of a bill making a compro-
mise on the silver question. we
guessed as much from what we had
seen in our exchanges. The Washing
ton Post Of yesterday says on this SUD-
ject:
THE ONLY PRACTICAL WAY.-it
is quite the proper thing to have a spe-
Gifted object in view and to do every
thing possible TO attain it, but when It's
accomplishment is seen to be impossi-
bic it is true craftsmanship and SOUND
policy to get as near the result as may
be. The very general opinion prevails
that the unconditional repeal oil the
Bland silver bill is out Of the question
that the House Of Representatives Will
never agree to it as a separate and dis
tinct proposition. If this be the case
as it undoubtedly is, some legislation
to satisfy the silver-men must accom-
pany the repeating act.
This much may be considered set
lied. The gold-men, therefore, can do
one Of two things. They can waste
their energies fighting the Bland bill
and end by leaving the obnoxious stat
ute in full force, or they can attempt to
satisfy enough of the conservative sill
yer-men to secure its repeal. One
would suppose that the decision would
be instantaneous, that those who see so
clearly the evils of longer-cOntinued
coinage Of the silver dollar and the in
evitable shifting Of the standard from
gold to silver, would be quick to Sc
cure a repeal of the law on the best
terms possible.
No ck-down, no surrender of prin-
ciple. and no concessions are necessary.
These words have no connection with
the matter. The extreme silyer-men
are in possession. They have leglsla-
ton Just where they want it. They
know that the eighty-three-cent dollars
are increasing at the rate of twenty-iour
millions a year. They can afford to
stand aloof and resist all repeating
bills. But they are willing to concede
something to the sentiment Of a very
large and influential portion Of the peo-
pie. They propose of their own mo-
ton to suspend silver coinage, pro-
vided the Cove nment will aid them in
disposing of silver bullion by taking it
at its market value in gold and issuing
certificates therefor.
Such proposition is not satisfactory
to the advocates Of either a single or a
double standard, and it is to be hoped
another and better eXpedient will be
found. But its acceptance carries
with it the suspension Of the coinage OF
the lightweight silver dollar, which i,
just so much clear gain, and this fact
should commend it to the attention OF
the gold-men, and it is a marvel that II
| does not.
Those persons and papers who clamor
for an unconditionalrepeal Of the Bland
act and will hear of nothing else are not
helpful allies in the cause of currency
reform.

PETERSBURG. VA, Sept. IL, 1885.
Alta late hour last night the police
arrested Mr.. c. C. Chappell, who is
employed as a fireman on the Peters
burg and Weldon railroad, for an as
snult upon Alexander Gee, colored
man, who is also employed by the rail-
road company. The two men quar-
relied Yesterday morning. but did not
come TO blows. Last night they met
again and renewed the difficulty. Mr..
Chappell claims that he was grossly in
suited by Gee, and that he was forced
10 strike him. Gee received heavy
blow on the head, which almost para
lived him. He was struck with some
heavy instrument. Mayor Jarratt re-
leased Mr.. Chappell on bail of $500 to
appear next Friday for examination.
Gees physicians think he will then be
able TO testify.
At the next term of the County Court
Of Prince George three negroes will be
arraigned for illegal voting. The grand
Jury has already found true bill OF
indictment against these men. 1t APP
appears that they were disqualified from
voting under the act Of the Legislature
which disqualfes all persons convicted
of felony or petty larceny. One of
the three was convicted and punished in
this city; the others lived in the county.
Notwithstanding their disabilities, but
despite them, they all voted. The
cases are Of interest as being the first
which have been reported in this Sec
ton.
Several years ago the lake in the Cen
trail Park was stocked with German
carp. No one believed then that the
tiny little fellows would ever grow to
maturity. The Park Commissioners,
under orders from the Council, having
determined for sanitary reasons to re-
move the fish from the lake. permission
had been given certain persons to fish
in tic lake. Yesterday a seine was
hauled with fine success. Among the
fish which were taken were several
woll-grown carp, which would average
ten pounds each in weight. Several su-
pelb club were also captured, as well
as n goldfish something Of rarity
which was fourteen inches long.
The Jail guards who were arraigned
in Greensyille county for negligence in
permitting the escape of Henry Moore,
the condemned murderer, have been
fined $50 each for negligence.
SO great is the demand here for flues

county in this section, and even from
Chesterfield, where a little tobacco is
grown. ROBIN ADAIR.

A Good Sign.

In the Prohibition State Conven-
ton in New York, last Wednes-
day, resolution was adopted de-
nouncing the Republican party for
waving the bloody shirt. When be-
fore, since the war between the States
ended, cou'd such a resolution have
been passed in a State convention in
any northern States The people of the
North have learned how foolish it was
to distrust their brethren in the South,
and how inexcusable has been the poll
cy Of trying to convince the voters that
the country would not be safe in the
hands Of the Democratic party.
But if that is a singing. reproof to
the Republicans Of New York. what
sort Of rebuke is it not TO the Republic

Stanton I'mdicafor: When we

followed the setting free Of the State IN
1883, we are sure not. If that is SO,
then We must try this year and give the

Gain control Of their State; to make
their laws TO organize their courts,

Charlottesville Chronicle: If the
Democrats Of Virginia have reason to
dcspise Malone, the old Republicans,
being neither more nor less than men.
should hate him with loathing beyon
the power Of language to express. And
that they do so we believe the result Of
the elections this fall will show.
Gordonsyille GazeHe We feel con-
fdent, however, that the Democrats
know enough Of industrious intriguing
of their enemies to understand what
the occasion will demand. Let them
determine to hold the fort, and after
the November election the atmosphere
will be purified of all that will endan-
ger the political health Of the State.
Groyson Democrat: If one can Judge
of the condition of his party by that
of Wise when he left this place, their
hope of success has entirely fled. The
people of this county showed him plain
ly that they are not ready to be led into
the ranks of the Republican party.
Lee, Massey, and Ayers may depend
on handsome majority in Grsyson at
the November election.

would deprive the freed citizens of the
South of their political status because
of the alleged iniquities of the southern
white men. But his false wit
ness. vile and malignant as his intention
is, can do no harm at this late day. The
uttcrances of General Grant are more
potent than those of John sherman,
and the people are tired of hearing war
talk at this date from man who never
popped a cap. How far the colored
people will sanction his new departure
remains for them to say but they
should not lose sight of the fact that
he endorses Wise, Malone Il Co.
