NORFOLK, October 81, 1885.
Yesterday morning the lifc-saying
patrols on the coast near Kitty Hawk
found several bodies which had been
washed ashore during the previous
night, together with a large quantity Of
broken timbers and other wreckage,
evidently from some vessel that foun-
dered in the gale of Thursday, which
incoming vessels here report particular
~ severe near Hatteras. There was
nothing about the bodies to identify
them.
The New York steamer Roanoke ran
into a raft several miles below last
night. while coming in, and had her hull
damaged, but not to any serious extent.
To-day the party Of Philadelphia cap
italists here in the interest Of the Po-
cahontas coal trade were taken in
charge by Colonel William Lamb, the
agent Of the coal company, and carried
to Old Point on tug. The party have
visited the Pocahontas and Bluestone
mines, and are much impressed with
the magnitude and capacity Of the ope-
rations. They leave tonight for Phila-
delphia by the Eastern Shore road.
One of General Mahone's commits

The Springfield (Mass.) Rpabliea"
Independent Republican, sits down
upon JOHN SHERMAN in the following
emphatic fashion
" Senator Sherman promised his
hearers at Petersburg, Va, last eve
ming an end to sectional animosity aud
unbounded national prosperity when
the southern people vote with the Re-
publicans. He also declared in various
forms Of statement that the Democratic
party are incapable Of managing the
multiplied interests Of great Govern
ment like ours When psrtiSanship
becomes egotistically unfair il is repel-
liant, and the Ohio Senator may as we'll
drop an old line Of remark that has
been rendered ridiculous by the events
Of last November and what has fol-
lowed since. Intelligent Republicans
have given up trying 10 claim corner
On virtue and craftsmanship. What
the people want TO see now is contest
In behalf Of good government in which
each party shall put its best foot for
ward at Washington. This great coun-
try is all right"

OCTOBER 81. 1855.
The Democrats Of Petersburg viii
have their final rally Of the campaign
at the Academy Of Music on Monday
night, when several distinguished speak
ers will deliver addresses, among them
Hon. William D. hi. of Ohio, and
Meade Uaskins, Eel. Of Richmond.
1t will be pleasure to hear a gentle
man from Mr.. Sherman's own State an
swering that geutleman's arguments be-
fore a Virginia audience.
Senator Malone last night enter
tanned Senator Sherman, Congre ssman
Mckinley. General Raum, Congressman
Golf, of West Virginia, and several
prominent Republicans of this State at
his residence. A brass band was pres
ent to furnish the music.
Twenty-SiX persons were baptized at
the First Baptist church last night, and
during the revival there over seventy
persons have protested faith. DR..
Hatcher, of Richmond, preached to
crowded congregation from his old pull
pit last night. The reyiyal-mcetings
will continue through next week.
The collections Of internal revenue
in this city during the present month
amounted to about SIS, GOO. and the ex-
ports of bonded tobacco to 22,62I
pounds. Business in both these de-
partments was lighter than usual this
month.
1t is understood that the Republicans
have not attempted to enforce the order
Of the Hastings Court requiring the
registrars to allow copies Of their books
to be made. They could have gotten
copies from the registrars by paying
reasonable compensation for the labor
Of making them. BoBIN ADAIR.

The Ohio Usurpation.

The lawyer discussing the case which
Judge BUCHwALTER decided the other
day in favor Of the Republicans, and
which went to a higher court, argued
as follows:
1.-The general drift Of the argument
was that as certificate of election IS
not a title to the office, it is not a
usurpation Of the power vested in legls-
lative bodies for a court to see to 1t that
its clerk and his associates in the Can
vassing Board count only legal returns,
and that the question of the legality of
the returns is not one upon which the
clerk, however honest be may be in his
decisions, can alone determine"
Now. see The court will allow him
to count only legal returns" But
which are illegal returns 81? The Con-
stitution Of Ohio gives to the Senate
the sole power to decide this very ques-
ton. That body decides which are
illegal returns" There happen to be
only four cases in the courts now; but
if it shall be settled that the Ohio
courts have the power claimed for them,
the next Senate of Ohio may consist
wholly of senator's elected by the
courts. Nay, both branches of the
General Assembly are at the mercy OF
usurping judges, who will be bribed or
otherwise induced to see to it that the
clerk and his associates count only
illegal returns that is, returns that
elect the Republican candidates.

this matter. st the time of the
occurrence ! was paying social Visit
90 friends and did not return 90 town
until - O'Clock at night. The streets
were deserted and everything was un-
usually ga.e,. The only man / sax
was Mr.. Gaines himself sitting at the
window Of the hotel Office, seemingly
engaged in writing. lie was apparently
in a peaceful state Of mind, and GER
tainly nothing that saw indicated
any bloodthirstines on the part Of
the people Of South Boston. Of
the. - outrage" ~ I know nothing
personally, and for this reason pur-
posely RETAINED from describing the
affair in my own language and on my
Own responsibility. As Nj. Gaines
has, however. brought ne into the pub
lie prints, will he allow H,s TO ask tim
a few questions
Do YOU hold me responsible in the
remotest degree for the occurrences Of
that night: If |, as an individual,
am not concerned, can the people
OF South Boston be held up To
public opprobium? Did more than
fifteen white Democrats OF South
Boston know you were IN town that
night: Can the hundreds who did not
know Of your presence be held re-
sponsible for the individual action Of
the MeSSrs. Loyelace, Mr.. Terry, and
Mr.. wilkinson? Could you, upon oath,
swear that you feared to remain IN
south Boston all night-that any harm
would have happened to You; Did not
Hon. Paul Z. Edmunds. Hon. r. r.
Noblin, Mayor j. NJ. Darlington, and
other Democrats, hold friendly con-
yersation with you? Did not Mr..
Garland and his clerk, Mr.. Faulkner,
both assure you that no real danger
threatened YOU, and that they and others
would protect you if necessary! Are
they not both Democrats? Is not the
letter from Burkeyille, which appeared
in the Richmond Why OF last Satur-
day, a highly-colored and exaggerated
account, and is it not a tissue Of mis-
representation as to detail from begin
ming to end;
| have known Mr.. Gaines several
years as a friend, and am still his friend.
As to the propriety or improperly Of
the action of the Messrs. LOyelace
Terry, and Wilkinson, that is a matter
with which have no concern whatever
They acted upon their own individual
responsibility, and, as | have before
stated, if they need any defence they
are abundantly able to take care o
themselves. Making due allowance fol
the feelings Of Mr.. Gaines, | ask hin
plainly if he believes tho 9 outrage" {.

1t is necessary for me to state that
this letter is written neither as a justi-
fcation Of the so-called " outrage" nor
an assault upon Mr.. Gaines, but as a
refutation Of tho slanderous reports that
have been circulated to the disparage-
ment of the citizens Of South Boston
and this entire county, all of which re-
ports are miserable inventions and false
hoods, and to say that no Republicans
will be allowed to speak here is the
sheereSt nonsense and the most pitiable
manifestations of childish cowardice
and foolishness. At September court

KIDNAPPERS IN BOSTON.


\ Boston special says: Late yester-
day afternoon Mrs. y. c. Pope, Of No.
l4S Falmouth street, went out to do
some marketing. Her little boy Ahrend,
aged four, accompanied her. While she
was in a fish market at the corner Of
Rutland and fremont streets two men,
seeing the boy standing in the door,
told him they would give him candy if
he would 60 with them. lie took the
candy and went of up fremont street
between the two men. When Mrs.
Pope had finished her trading she could
not find her child. A little girl told
her that she had seen two men leading
a boy in the direction of Brookline.

MAHONE'S LATEST TRICK.
An Election Ticket with Lees Name aud Re
publican Delegates.

An Election Ticket win Lees Name aud Re
publican Delegates.
A trick of Senator Malone was ex-
posed yesterday. He has prepared an
election ticket to cheat the Democratic
voters of Virginia and to win the Lcgis-
lature for himself. 1t purports to be
the straight Democratic ticket, and the
scheme is to distribute it as such among
Democratic voters at the polling-places
on the day Of election. The draft of this
ticket was taken to the printing house of
Judd & Detweler, in this city, yester-
day. with request to have $4,000
copies printed. Judd & Detweller's
manager declined to execute the order
on the ground that the time required for
it could not be spared from other
work in hand, and Mahone's agent was
obliged to 60 elsewhere with his job.
The tickets are intended to be distrlbu-
ted among Democratic voters in every
district where a close contest for the
State Legislature is expected. 1t IS
good imitation Of the genuine Demo-
cratic ticket, and itrequires close inspec-
ton and knowledge Of the names Of
all the candidates to detect the fraud.
The ticket is headed with the name
of General Fitzhugh Lee as candi-
date for Governor and all the other
Democratic candidates for State offices
follow in regular order. The fraud
consists in substituting Republicans for
Democrats as candidate for the Lcgisla-
ture. 1t was understood in the city
Yesterday that when Judd & Detweiier
refused to do the work the order was
taken to Gibson Brothers, but they
deny that any such tickets have been
printed in their house, or that any such
order had been offered to them. At
all events, they say that the order has
not come to them in the usual way,
and the printing has not been done to
their knowledge.-WaahingtoR Post,
