the country is already with him. He
has able and conscientious associates in
the Cabinet, upon whose assistance he
can rely. He has the approval of the
masses of the Democratic party, and he
should have the active, earnest and
honest support of the leaders of the
party.
Our Democratic friends should bear
in mind that the election of MIR. Cleve-
land meant something more than an in
discriminate distribution of offices
among the voters who elected him. The
scheme of political Salvation is not SO
simple and easy as this. We are wont
to speak of the change of administra-
ton as the dawn of q new era in the
Government; but this depends entirely
upon the wisdom and honesty and
sound craftsmanship with which the
affairs of the Government are to be adj
ministered.
The majority by which the Demo
cratic party assembled into power is not
so overpoweringly large nor perma-
nently assured that we can afford to
tritle with our victory. The new era
has dawned, but will it reach the high
noon of our anticipations9 This re-
mains to be seen. The Republican
party is by no means dead yet and we
have first to convince the people that
they have profted substantially and
largely by the defeat of that party
before we can have any definite guar
antv of an extended lease of power.
Hence the necessity, not of parcel
ing out the spoils in hot and reckless
haste, but of laying broad and deep
the foundations of the civil service as
tower of strength to the Government
under Democratic rule, and not be-
grudging the time that it may require
to do it. This is the burden which Mr..
Cleveland has taken upon his shoulders.
not as work for this year or next year
of his own official term, but for all time
and for the glory OF the Democratic
party. 1t is patriotic and statesman
like object. 1t should be made the
common object of patriots and states
men holding the Presidents political
faith. Washington Post.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch. !
july 6, 1885.
The excursion from this city to the
Natural Bridge on the 4th was very
satisfactory affair. The Staunton Ar
tillery, Captain j. 7. Long, projected
the scheme, which was successfully
carried out. The Stonewall Brigade
Band accompanied the military. About
two hundred citizens availed them
selves of the opportunity offered to see
the great curiosity. Many Of them
were of our best business classes, not
given to excitement of any kind. A
large number of ladies were also in the
party. No accident or trouble in the
least degree occurred. The splendid
Improvements at the Bridge were ex-
ahmed, and all the visitors returned
delighted with the pleasures Of the day.
The Fourth in the city was in many
respects like a Sabbath-day. One
third of the business-houses were
closed. Many parties for a country
jaunt were made up, in which fishing
and other amusements were enjoyed.
The city and community were free from
any disorder, and quiet reigned su-
preme.
Rev. S. A. Repass, d. D., who
withdrew from the pastorate Of the
Lutheran church here for the purpose
of accepting call to Allentown, Pa,
preached his farewell sermon yester-
day. The congregation reluctantly
part with him.
Major j. NJ. Holden, the State lee
turef on temperance, delivered an adj
dress yesterday afternoon to an over
flowing house.
The Baptist membership here, who
are holding separate organization
from the existing church, had Rev.
Timothy Funk, OF Rockingham county,
to preach for them yesterday.
Tonight is the stated monthly meet
ing Of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association. That institution
has been at work to devise means for a
general improvement and development
of city and country interests. Plans
are maturing for forward movements
which will be developed to some extent
tonight.
F. II. Hill, Esq, of Madison county,

Our contemporaries are full of advice
as 10 the nomination of Democratic
candidate for Governor. II the pri-
maries will send level-headed delegates
to the Convention there will be no
mistake made. The Democrats had
better recognize the fact before than
after the Convention that no man
named or to be named will have
ga walk-over." When the enemy
held the entertainments Democrats
"slept with their boots on" Apathy

THE COURTHOUSE posTMAsTERsHIP.
A change will doubtless soon be
made in the post-oliice at Halifax
Courthouse. Hon. John W. Daniel has
recommended for that place Mr.. r. ii.
Edmondson. There were only two ap-
plicants, Mr.. Edmondson and Colonel
John Wimbish. Both gentlemen had
very strong endorsation, and towards
the last excitement ran high as to who
would be appointed. Major Daniel had
some difficulty in deciding between the
two, but finally Mr.. Edmondson won.
FALSE RUMOR.
On May 10th, at Collns's store, Mr..
L. NJ. Thacker shot and killed Mr..
Joshua Ridgeway, an account of which
was sent you. For few days past ru-
mors have been going about to the effect
that Thacker was killed some days
since by man named Singleton. From
information received | think the rumor
is without foundation. PHIL.

The grand jury Of Prince George
county having found true bill against
Messrs. Charles Gee and Horace Smith,
charged with felonious assault upon
Mr.. A. r. Hobbs, these two gentlemen
will be tried at the present term OF the
County Court. Mr.. Hobbs was the
Democratic candidate for supervisor at
the May election. Being announced
TO speak at Youngblood's Store in behalf
Of his candidacy, il is alleged that he
was set upon and beaten by Mcssrs.
Gee and Smith, one OF whom, it is
charged. renewed the assault after the
meeting was called TO order. Mr..
Hobbs was painfully injured; nor did
Mr.. Smith escape without damage.
Messrs. Smith and Gee, it is under
stood, are not being prosecuted by Mr..
Hobbs, who has, it is said, expressed
the wish that the matter should not go
into the court--the assault not growing
out of political animosity, as was at
first assumed, but being rather the re-
suit Of previous Qualification"
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. James
Saunders, who is an esteemed citizen
Of Prince George county, was engaged
in removing a small portable saw-mill.
By some miscarriage the mill was
backed into a small pond, and in his
efforts to remove il Mr.. Saunders was
caught in the machinery. Fortunately
he was extricated before his whole
body was entangied. His right leg
and foot were severely crushed, sew
eral bones in bis foot being broken.
The County Court Of Dinwiddie will
begin its regular monthly term on Mon
day the Goth instant. The grand jury
will then determine whether true bill
is to be found against Holmes Puryear,
the alleged wife-murderer. The grand
jury will also have to consider the in
dictment against Ethelbert Bristow, a
white man, who is charged with arson,
and is now confined in the county jail
under a commitment by magistrate.
Mrs. Nathan Hoag, a venerable lady,
the mother Of Mr.. j. p. Hoag, the to-

Tho Trenscns, who hold third place
Ia the EAstern League, and who up Y
this time have made good record thi'
season, made their 6rst appearance this
year At Virginia Park yesterday after
noon. The game had not been
properly advertised, consequently the
attendance was not large--not ex'
ceedins COO or 700. Through the
FIRST half Of the contest the WISH
tors played in very indifferent
and careless manner, and seemingly
were not much concerned as to whether
they won or lost. After this, however,
they braced ap, batted Kimber more
freely, nd made the struggle more in
seresting, but Of course were unable
70 overcome the advance which had
been made BY the home team.
Tiernsn's lcft-handed pitching puz-
sIed the home nine at first, but after
ward they caught on TO him and
rounded him pretty severely. The
heavy hits made by the visitors evil
dence the fact that they are sluggers,
but they will have to do better base
running and general playing before
they can cope with the Virginias. Only
seven and a half innings were played,
but these dragged along in dull, un-
interesting way through two hours and
twenty minutes. Higgins made one er-
ror, but he more than atoned for this
BY his superior work st the bat. hav-
ing made two home-runs. This player
is coming out remarkably in batting,
and plays his position in a most adml-
rable manner. Greenwood played q
brilliant game on short and was
loudly .vvciauded for his fine
base-funniDg. Corcoran played excep..
tionally we'll behind the bat, and
did good batting too. The general
playing Of the home team was very
good. In the absence Of an official UNI
pire PYLE. one Of the yirginiss' pitchers,
umpired the game, and did his work In
a very satisfactory manner. II seems
strange that Richmond, which supports
the club which leads the League, and n
city whose citizens always patronlze
this game literally, is not honored by
the management Of the League with an
official umpire. This has created con-
siderable dissatisfaction here. In the
sixth inning Kienzle, when near the
home plate, fell and sprained his ankle.
1t rillprobably be several weeks before
be will play again. Appended is the
score
