An exciting chase between two blood hounds and negro took place near Dal- las few days SEC. The negro Jim Johnson was arrested for crap shooting. While on his way Co jail be broke from the officer and took to the river bottoms below the town. The blOOdhOunds were immediately loosed and took the fugi- tive's scent. Johnson had something over mile tbe start of the hounds, but they soon Overhaueld him, when be took to water, there being streams in the bottoms As the negro emerged on the other sIde of the stream and took to the woods the hounds would go around the stream and renew the hunt.

SPECIMEN BRICKS.

As snocimens of the oratory INDUCED in
nv Cen Mahone's candidate for Governor
wa reproduce the following account of his
speech delivered at Crockett's depot, re-
publican stronghold in Wythe county, yes
terday. before about $50 persons:
He first charged the democratic party
with being responsible for tho hard times,
stagnation in business and scarcity OF money;
said the people had been duped by the DEM
ocrats, who promised them an era OF pros
perity if they would elect Cleveland. Ihey
did so, and had nearly bankrupted the
country. When Grant was elected we had
prosperous times. When Hayes was seated,
even though seated by fraud the country
was prosperous. Through Arthur's admin
istration times were flush, but when the
democrats obtained control Of The govern
ment business shut down because the party
had no defined policy and Northern CAPT
talists would not trust them. Cleveland
was elected by Henry Ward Beecher and
Roscoe Conklng. Beecher sympathzed
with him on account OF the Maria Halpin
affair, as he (Beecher) had similar one;
Conkling had an old .grudge on account Of
Blaine's excoriation of him in the Senate.
These two men elected Cleveland His
abuse of the national administration was
severe. He charged that the democrats had
defeated the Blair bill, the most philan-
| thropic measure ofmodern times; said frank
Hurd was crank, and largely responsible
| for his defeat.
AS to the State tickets, he said there was
no comparison in cn1 sine requisites which go
to give enGi government Gen. Lee was
| political nobody. He was the nephew of
| bis uncle; bore the name of Lee, and that
was all. Had he been named FitZhugh
Smith he would never have been heard Of.
| Old Massey had more sense than all, and
would finally cheat them out of the United
States Senate. The candidate for attor-
ney general (Ayres) was nothing; he
had been a failure at everything, and
| was not even third-rate county court law
yer. Capt. Wise denied having ever called
Ayres cart driver. The ticket reminded
him of a country team-"Lee the broken
down thoroughbred in front, Massey the
speckled steer between the shafts, and
| Ayers the yaller dog under the wagon" He
declared that the Danville riot was DELHI
erately planned scheme Of the democrats to
murder negroes for political purposes. 1t
was foul, cowardly murder by the so called
best people of Virginia. He said the peo-
pie were afraid to send their afflicted fe-
males to the lunatic asvlums for fear they
would be dehauched and seduced by demo-
cratic officials; that the democrats were
plundering aud stealing from the State
treasury and their auditor would not re.
port.
| During his speech Mr. Wise told many
anecdotes, and INDUCED in considerable pro.
family, which was not calculated to strength
en- his chances among the solid intelligent
voters Of Wythe county. He certainly made
10 converts. The county and the sena.
torial district Are regarded as safe for the
| democrats.

Leo, which were given with enthusiasm.
Several resolutions were passed demanding
the unconditional repeal of the chief May

MISFORTUNE OF A sTATEsMAN.-A Lon
don special says: Count Tolstoi, the ce!e-
brated Russian statesman and poet, who
has kept Nihilism at bay since the assassi.
nation of the late En- peror, bias been declar-
ed incurably insane and placed in lunatic
asylum. Although the Count is one Of the
richest men in Russia, he some timo ago
suddenly quilted St. Petersburg and retired
to remote estate, where he passed his time
chiefly in making boots and shoes, calling
in as a teacher young shoemaker who lv.
ed on the estate. There he was visited by
several literary and social acquaintance,
and to them he prolessed to have found the
real secret ofhappiness and morality, which,
he said consisted of manual labor. Recent
events leave no doubt that his singular re-
tirement from the world was due to tho
breaking up ofhis mental faculties. Accord
ing to all accounts his mental alteration is
now undoubtedly declared as likely to be of
permanent character.

A DUEL WITH AN INSANE LoCKsMITH.-
A st. Louis special says: The village of
Kirkwood, twelve miles west of here, was
thrown into high state OF excitement one
evening recently by the actions of an insane
locksmith, Edward Bueschel. A neighbor
named Mrs. Randall started to pay Bue-
schel's family visit, and as she approached
the door the locksmith took her for robber
and fired-through the door, the ball striking
her in the leg, inaicting dangerous wound
Sheriff Allen was sent for, and as soon as he
appeared Bueschel opened fire, advancing
as he shot until he reached the middle of
the street. He was armed with two revol-
vers, and when the firing began the street
was crowded with people. After being
made target for six shots the sheriff re.
turned the fire. Both men stood up like
duelists, and at the sheriff''s fourth shot
Bueschel fell to the ground, pierced through
the abdomen. After being down he turned
over and fired again at the sheriff, but his
aim was as bad as ever and the bullet had
no effect. He died in few minutes. Bues
chel fired altogether eleven shots and Sher-
III Allen four. No one was hit but Mrs.
Randall, though several people had narrow
escapes. Drink was the cause of Bueschel's
insanity.

.ssTHE REPUBLICANS of the North finding
it difficult to make other excuses for their
support Of the man who made the repudia-
ton of the Virginia debt possible, resort TO
vain one by asserting that of the two par
ties in Virginia the Mahoneites are the pet
ter, because they are at least in favor oil Tree
and fair elections. But to show the insln-
cerity of this excuse it is only necessary TO
know the fact that the same Northern re-
publicans also support the republican party
in Tennessee, which party having no other
means left by which TO defeat bill for reg
istering the voters Of that State, and there
by taking step toward securing free and
fair election, brokeup the Legislature rather
than lot that bill pass. In view OF General
Mahone's late two to one election judges,
his tissue ballots, his grave yard voters, and
his advice to the negroes to make it hot"
for those of their race who may desire to vote
the democratic ticket, gable about his
favoring free ballot and a fair count IS
enough to make cow grin.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE fact OF the de-
pressed condition OF manufacturing business
in Rhode Island after twenty-five years OF
protection, recent meeting of the repub-
lican manufacturers OF that State, which
was addressed by tho republican U. 5. Sen
ators Chase and Aldrich, adopted resolu-
ton declaring that ''ihcy believe any at.
tempted general revision of the tariff would
be exceedingly disastrous to the entire in
dustrial interests Of the country" People
of ordinary understanding would naturally
suppose that ifa quarter of 81 century's pro-
lection had reduced the manufacturing in
terests of the country to the straits they
are now in, reform, revision, reduction,
abolition, or some other sort of change In
that system might be for the better, as it
could hardly DO possible for it 10 be for the
worst. If the rich republican Rhode Island
manufacturers had have put themselves in
the place of their poor employees, they
would have passed no such resolution as
that referred 10.

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER s.

IT IS astonishing how Northern repuDii.
can newspapers know so much more auou'
the condition of affairs in the sontn .han
the papers OF this section do. The American
of Philadelphia, for instance says ina! ID
many Southern communities there IS a
lack Of q real desire to develop the country,
which is constitutional and fundamental
defect rather than any real dislike to lmmi-
grants. The american thus accuses the
neople of the South Of being slmpletons'
though if it eau find one Northern settief
among them who agrees with it in that partl'
cular It ought to make show OF him. Il
there is one thing more than another tha'
Southern people hone after, tits the develop
ment of their country, and the consequen'
increase in their price of the now aihos'
yalueless lands, and that they kno" can
only be accomplished by the influx OF I'M
legation and capital. Southern people

ONE OF General Mahone's speakers in
his present campaign is Col. Berkeley, OF
Prince Edward, who only joined the Gener-
ais forces after the democratic Legislature
had refused to give him the office for which
he was an applicant. A year or two ago
the Colonel, in addressing a democratic
meeting, said 1.-THE time can never come
when will cease to hate and loath with all
the intensity of an honest heart the miser-
able Yankee vagabonds who are aided and
abetted by Virginia lazaretta-the con-
temptible ,damnable and indescribably mean
scalswag, and will never consent to con-
sort with the barbarian element which con-
stitutes the rank and file of the radical re.
publican party" Is it possible for human
nature holding such views only two years
ago to be sincere in the expressions of love
for Northern republicans and negroes to
which Colonel Berkley is now giving utter
ance?

ACCORDING TO the Nems, of Chicago,
which interviewed Senator Riddleberger
when in that city, the Senator said "In
Virginia, south of the james river, the ne.

the very section of the State referred to is
what is known as the "Black Belt," where
the negroes arc in such majority that politi-
cally, it is almost abandoned to them, in
which they now have the only two republi-
can Congressman from the State, and in
which the only negroes not allowed to vote
are the few who would like to cast ballot
for democrat who has done them favor.
But it makes as little difference to Mr.. Rid
dleberger what he says as it does to Mr.
Wise or any body else.
