sort OF moody expectancy in his eyes.
In full evening dress he is a very
handsome man, and more than one pair
OF girlish eyes follow him wlst.'ullg.

Tho Supreme Court Of the United

sibls may soon do something that will
furnish MALONE with little Of the

Of. We cannot foretell what this capt.
tai will consist Of. Possibly Of no.
thing. But, then, 1t may be that
Judge wELLFoBD is TO be punished
for his last decision In the case OF
CkoDfn rs. Taylor. He held, we be-
lieve, that CHAPFIN's coupons must
be proved to be genuine, and the Re-
publican Supreme Court may hold that
he ought to have ordered all coupons
TO be received fer taxes, whether gcnu-
inc or not. In fact, 1t follows necessa-
sarily that . counterfeit coupon is as
good to pay taxes with as . genuine
coupon, IL that august tribunal decides
that Mr.. TAYLOR and the rest of the
States officers must receive anything
that purports to be coupon.
However, speculation is useless. We
merely desired TO forewarn our read
ers, that they might not be taken UNI
swares by any news they may hear
from Washington or elsewhere between
now and the day of election, which
news is calculated to bolster up the fall
ing MALONE cause.
In this connection, we quote the fol-
lowing from Washington letter (l3th)
in the Alexandria Gazette:
"In the United States Supreme
Court to-day Mr.. W. L. Royal made
three motions--one to advance the cou-
pom cases of r. p. Barry ps. E. g.
Edmunds, W. L. Royal rs. the State
of Virginia, ca partc Royal No. and
er parte Royal No. 2, Chafiin rs. Tay-
lor, and er parte W. II. Sands; the
second to compel the judge of the Cir
cult Court Of Henrico county, Va, to
give effect to the mandate of the United
States Supreme Court in the case Of r.
b. Chaffin as. William Taylor and the
third one for summary process to COM
pei obedience to the judgment of the
United States Supreme Court in the
case Of Chaffin rs. Taylor"
We don't know just what Mr..
RoYALL proposes to ask the STAN
LEY-MATTHEws court to do to Judge
but it will be something,
no doubt, that will make the Judge as
as if . Federal Mikado were
after him.

PETERSBURG, October IA, 1885.
A goodly number Of the veterans oil
the Fifty-first regiment Of Pennsylva-
mia Volunteers arrived in this city this
morning to hold q reunion upon the
battle-felds around Petersburg, on
which they fought in the memorable
days of 1896. They were met at
the depot by q committee Of our citi-
zens, headed by the mayor, and cor
daily welcomed to the city, and
during the day, after being quartered
at the different hotels, were shown
all proper attention, and were con-
Quoted about the city and out to the
lines in charge Of citizens. We have
no organized association Of Confederate
veterans, else some more elaborate re-
ception would have been given the WIS.,
itors. Tonight the Pennsylvanians
were called upon at the hotels by num-
bers of our people, and pleasant time
was spent with them. Tomorrow the
visitors 90 to Richmond. One Of our
Confederate soldiers has ever since the
war had in his possession sword which
was captured from the colonel Of a
Pennsylyania regiment, and which was
turned over to one of the visitors TO be
given the widow of that officer, who has
since died.
Accounts from the country represent
that the greatest damage done by the
wind.stcrm of Monday was to the fruit,
large quantities of which were blown
to the ground. A number of old sheds
and out-houses were demolished.
A meeting Of our citizens has been
called for tomorrow night at the court
house to make arrangements for the re-
ception of General Fitz Lee and Hon.
John E. Massey on Saturday the Oath,
when they are to speak here. The pro-
grsmme of the reception will then be
decided upon, and it will be one wor-
thy the Cockade City and the distin-
guished gentlemen whom it is designed
to honor.
Hon. R. A. Ayers's card in the Dis
patch of this morning in vindication Of
himself from the charges made against
him by his political enemies has been
read with much interest and satisfaction
here. 1t is regarded as thorough and
complete.
Mr.. w. S. Copeland, formerly of the
Norfolk Virginian, but now of the
Danville Register, was married in this
city yesterday to Miss Mary Christian,
one of Petersburg's fairest daughters.
The couple have the heartiest wishes Of
a host of friends for their happiness
and prosperity. They left in the after
noon on 4 bridal trip to the North.
Mr.. David Alexander, aged thirty
seven years, q native Of Petersburg,
died in Memphis day or two ago.
His parents reside here, and his body
will be brought to Old Blandford for

We did not know that Mr.. WOLFE
had erased his name from the RepublI-
can list. At any rate, though he has
ceased to be Republican, he has not
become Democrat. In other words,
it is not in the character Of Democrat
that he stands by Governor CAMERON

the fairness of last years elections in
Virginia.

We have said enough to show that
the result in Ohio ought not to surprise
anybody-not even those Democrats
who had allowed themselves to indulge
in q hope that that State was not
joined to its idols.
Let the Democrats of Virginia take
warning. They cannot now doubt that
the success Of MALONE would be ac-
counted q second edition Of the Ohio
victory. SHERMAN, HoAR, DAWES,
REID, CHANDLER, HALsTEAD, and
all the rest Of the malignants, would
claim MALONE victory in Virginia as
proof positive that the people Of the
Old Dominion were in favor Of shearing
the southern States Of . large portion
Of their strength in Congress-say,
thirty-cight to forty members. Those
malignspts would at once set to work
to carry out their unpatriotic, selfish,
sectional schemes. They would say that
you, the voters of Virginia, had en-
dorsed their libels and ISLANDERS, and thus
invited the Intervention in the affairs Of
this Commonwealth Of the strong arm
Of the Federal Government. They
would, like PETER the Hermit, preach
Q crusade. They would see in sectional
strife not the wrong Of it, but the
honors, the offices, and the emolument:
which would fall to them. The solit
South would be solid no longer-no

The Negro Question I'm Springfield,
Mnaa

A citizen Of Springfield, Mass,
writes to the Republican as follows ::
The Massachusetts, Republicans in their
convention in this city gave fresh i'm
petus to the newly-inaugurated crusade
against the oppressors of the colored
man. This is well. Being now re-
lieved from the cares Of state at Wash
ington, their party ought to be able to
redress all the wrongs under which the
negro has suffered during the twenty
four years of Republican rule. 1t
is true the Bay-State brethren fight
at rather long range when they
direct their efforts to the correction
of evils in the far-away South, and
such work is rather wrenching, not to
say discourasing, in view of the mea-
gre results. By way Of giving them
heart the convention should have been
taken down to Loring street to " take
a view," as juries do, of tirst-class
outrage" entirely within reach.
There is no doubt that in their present
temper the delegates would have imme-
diately returned to their hall and pro-
ceeded to suppress it with vigor and
dispatch. Irefer, Of course, to the col
ored Methodist church on that street.
If taken down there the delegates
would have seen a modest house Of
worship, erected on q lot no larger than
the building itself, in which a congre-
CATION of eolored Christians have held
weekly meetings for nearly twenty
years. Close against the windows on
either side and extending above their
tops, nearly twenty feet high, is tight
board fence painted black on the side
next the building and so dark
ening the interior that candles have
to be lighted at midday by the
humble worshippers. Chairman Halle,
Of the City committee, conld have ex-
planned that this fence was not erected
by the church people, but by wicked
white NAH who bought the adjoining
land after the church was erected. lie

Needs Light.

The Providence Journal, in an arti-
Gle on /" The Virginia Campaign" COM
mits itself rs follows:
"HaviDg fought out the sectional
issues of the past and buried the re-
mains, we are ready to strike hands
with earnest men, of whatever former
party ties, who are willing to 90 for
ward"
That is a patriotic sentiment, but in
the next breath the Journal places it
self in very awkward position by at
tempting to bolster up the cause Of the
Virginia Republicans. 1t says:
1.-The followers Of Candidate Wise
do not oppose Candidate Lee because
he rides the counties on the treason
stained saddle Of his uncle, but be-
cause he is the representative Of the
southern conservatism which would
fasten the shackles upon that section
and forbid it to move on with the rest
of the country to a higher civilization
and a nobler destiny"
1t is clear that if the Journals first
declaration is sincere, its second is the
result of ignorance. In nearly every
speech that FITz LEE has made he
has declared that he fights under the
star-spangled banner, and has placed
himself in line with those North and
South who plead for fraternity and
have been striving to bury sectional is.

Republicans are the allies of the malig
nants whom the Journal denounced il

bloody shirt. Again, if there il
paper in the country that ha!
harped more than another upon thu

When, therefore, we call attention to tn
fact that the Virginia Democrats estab

nearly all the money for the support Q

the Democrats would shackle this sec
