Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
KEswICK, October -. 1885.
There was a very heavy fall of rain
in this section last night, and the bridge
across Moore's creek was rendered in
secure, the timbers used while a new
iron bridge was being put up having
been unsettled. The consequence was
that the passenger trains which left
Richmond Monday night and yesterday
morning were detained here until this
evening, when, the bridge having been
strengthened, they were able to pass
over.
On Monday nights train were Gene
raj j. q. Field and Hon. S. II. Mof-
felt and ex-Judge Edmund Waddill,
who had that day spoken at Louisa
Courthouse. DR.. MofTett and Judge
Waddill had appointments to speak at
Bath Courthouse to-day, but were of
course unable to fulfil the expectations
Of their committees. Judge Waddill
went back to Richmond on the first
down train, DR.. Moflett proceeded up
the road, and General Field returned
to his home, which, believe, is about
twelve miles from here. Hon. J. Tay-
lor Ellyson and daughter and Miss Sue
Starke, of Richmond, were also on the
Monday-night train bound for Stanton
to attend a marriage, which takes place
tonight.
Some damaging washouts are re-
ported on the Virginia Midland road.
The country looks very bright to-
day under the influences of the rain,
which was abundant, and put an end to
very protracted drought.

Personal.

Madame de Mores, now SO much
talked Of out West, has an income OF
$4,000 year.
Mrs. Tabor, the first wife of the Colo
RADIO millionaire, probably has more
money at her own command now than
her former husband. She is estimated
to be worth 100000.
Lady Duffus Hardy, who has written
several society stories, and her daugh-
ter LA Duilus Hardy, who has printed
something of the same sort. are both
coming to this country to spend the
winter.
Mary Anderson has kept herself STU
diously aloof from the reporters since
her arrival in New York. She has been
suffering from nervous affection caused
by cinder which blew in her eye du-
ring the voyage, and causes her much
pain. She occupied the cabin of the
second officer Of the Gallia, in the for
ward part of the ship, and during
stormy weather the waves broke over
ITS roof with such deafening sound As
to render sleep impossible.
Few people pause to think of the
under-currents in humorist's or come
dams life. Artemus Ward wrote his
quaint witticisDs after he was deep in
consumption. AT 4 o'clock last We'd

Logan's baltimore Speech.

The New York EreniRg Post says
General Logan has taken hold of the
sectional issue in a way which is calcu-
lated to show Senators Hoar and Sher-
man and Ex-Governor Long that they
have good deal to learn yet before
they can do the subject justice. The
General comes out with great vigor
upon the treason stained saddle OF
the late Robert 4. Lee, and appears to
be under the impression that it is run
ming for the governorship of Virginia.
This is very strong card, and pho
tograph of the saddle, with the treason
stains well defined, ought to be for
warded at once to Messrs. Hoar. Sher.
man. and Long, and published in the
Tribune and the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. 1t is a much more vital as
pect of the issue than the utterances OF
either jeff. Davis or Robert Toombs. :"

lCoTesI ldence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
WILLIAMSBURG, Oct. ID, 1885.
Mr.. l.. ID. Starke, Of Norfolk. spoke
in the courthouse on yesterday to a
crowded house. Williamsburg was
empty, having sent her last man to sup
port Starke, and James City and York
did their full duty. The colored people
contributed largely to the audience.
Several colored men upon the platform,
and others on the floor, by their bold
responses evidenced that they have had
the manliness to tear from their necks
the Malone and Wise collars.
Mr.. Starke speech more than pleased
the people. 1t created great enthusi-
asm, and was pronounced by many to
be the best speech they had ever heard,
and this is no mean compliment ; for if
the people Of this olden city are not
good judges of oratory you will not
find them elsewhere. PENINSULA.

rioting in bloodshed. mot 50, came
from . colored man in tho audience,
followed by spplause.l The South Is
more prosperous, more peaceful, and
more law-abiding than many Of the
States in the North. The General Gov
eminent is responsible for q large un-
educated class in the South. he (the
speaker) voted for the Blair bill, which
would build up school-houses and
educate the children Of the South. That
kind Of Federal interference won't hurt,
be said. Indiana is free State vir-
ginia is equally free State, Mr.. voor-
bees here gave an account of the North
Carolina exodus, which he had exam
med into thoroughly. lie spoke Of q
colored man who was not worth three
dollars after the war now owning GOO
acres of land we'll stocked and farmed.
Colored men are taught to believe
great many things for which there is no
foundation in fact. They are under no
obligation to the Republican party.
They owe all to Almighty God. The
issues of the war are settled, and they
will remain settled. What the South
now wants is enterprise, capital, and
enterprising men. Rich as Pennsylva-
MIA is in iron, she is poor in
comparison with Virginia. Men who
shake hands with Sherman and Hoar
are the worst traitors Virginia ever
had. They prevent capitalists from
coming here and investing. The Re-
publican party in Virginia Are doing
the people as much harm in'iheir great
material interests and advancement as
the smallpox would do. They are
joining hands with men who say there
is worse than smallpox in Virginia. The
only danger in the great county Of Lou
doun is that some men will stay athome
on the day of election. He urged upon
his hearers to poll the largest majority
they could. For twenty-four years be-
fore Grover Cleveland took the
oath of Office the Republican party
made the laws and executed
them in their own way. Grover
Cleveland has to 90 slow. The
President has to feel his way. He the
speaker knew Cleveland we'll, and
knew him to be a thoroughly honest
and conscientious man, and that he in
tends to do the best he can for the
country. Though he is going slow, he
is going in the right direction. lie the
speaker should look to Virginia, hay-
ing absolute faith in the success Of the
Democratic party. He thus contributed
his mite, and bid them God-speed. At
the conclusion of his address, which
occupied some fifty minutes, the speak.
er was presented with a handsome bou-
quet.
Mr.. Voorhees, was followed in brief
addresses by Mr.. Donaldson and Col
onel Akers, Of Tennessee, and Colonel
Thomas Smith, of Fauquler county,

Tho Result in Ohio.

| 40 ASCcu4t UNIV
| The election returns from Ohio we
publish this morning leave little doubt
as to the result Of yesterdays contest
in that State. 1t appears that the
bloody shirt has triumphed, and that
the dogma Of hate, as enunciated
from Mount Gilead, has proved
more potent in that State than
has the prayer for fraternity breathed
from Mount McGregor. II is hard
ly necessary to deny that, despite
of the fact that Ohio is . Republican
State and gave over thirty thousand
majority for BLAINE, we hoped for
q better results better result than
the figures show, at least. That was
q natural hope, inspired by the fra
ternal feeling that has lately been so
manifest throughout the land, and
which was shared by thousands
against their judgment perhaps. But
if that hope has not been realized
the fact may prove a blessing in dis
guise to Virginia. Assuming that
there will be no change in the returns,
the lesson of the Ohio election
is that it behoeves every true
virginian to grid up his loins and
strike for the cause of peace, fraterni-
ty, and good government as ne never
struck before. That Ohio has turned
her face backwards renders it
all the more incumbent upon Vir-
ginia to keep her face steadily
10 the front. That JOHN SHER-
MAN will be reelected to the
United States Senate renders it all the
more plain that the'utter crushing out
Of Mahoneism is duty that Virginia
owes to herself and to the nation.
Ohio has warned us that the South
must be kept solid. Let Virginia see
that it is kept solid by throwing herself
into the breach that the malignants
would make in a reunited nation. That
is the demand Of duty, that is the de-
mand Of patriotism, and to Virginia
the eyes Of all good men will turn now
more than ever before. Let the cry 60
up from one end Of the Common
wealth to the other |" To your tents,
oh, Israel" Let US determine to
profit by the result in Ohio, to the end
that every Democratic voter be in his
place in November. That done, and all
will be well. II the defeat of our
friends in Ohio arouses the Virginia
Democrats to a realization Of the dam
ger Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT we believe
it will-the northern malignants' song
Of triumph will prove the funeral dirge
Of Mahoneism.

NEWARK, N. j., October l3.--John
Hoffman shot his wife at No. 10 Park
street this afternoon and then shot him
self. Both are fatally wounded. Hoif-
man and wife did not live together.
Last night Hoffman whipped his ten
year-old son, and the boy ran away
and remained ont all night. This after
noon the father went to No. 10 Park
street to inquire after the boy,
who he supposed was with his mother,
and met bis wife. They had some
words, when Hoffman suddenly drew n
revolver and fired three times at his
wife. All the shots took effect in the
back of her head. lie then shot him
self IN the forehead. The husband
and wife were taken to hospital.
Hoffman said TO an officer that he had
shot his wife for love. He was de-
termined that if they could not live
together in this world and be happy,
they should be together in the next
world and be happy.

Archbishop Gibbons and Mr.. Kelley.

A Catholic clergyman Of Baltimore,
who has been to Rome on more than
one occasion, and has had audiences
with the Pope on each of his visits,
scouts the idea, which originated in one
of the New York papers, that Arch
bishop Gibbons is not regarded with
high favor by the head of the Catholic
Church. He says he has reason to
know that the Archbishop of Baltimore
enjoys the warm personal regard Of
Leo MIL, and he is confident that his
choice of another Cardinal in this coun-
try, when made, will fall upon the Arch
bishop Of Baltimore, who has been
for some years the most conspicuous
representative at Rome of the Catholic
Church in the United States. The gem
tleman quoted also says it is an utter
absurdity to suppose that the Pope has
been prejudiced against Archbishop
Gibbons because he had recommended
Mr.. Kelley for the mission to Rome.
The fact is, said the gentleman, whose
relations with the Archbishop entitle
what he says on that subject to fall
credit, the Archbishop never wrote q
letter or in any other manner recon-
mended the appointment Of Mr.. Kelley
for Minister to Rome. He did recon-
mend his appointment to less i'm
portant Office, but the Archbishop had
no connection with his nomination OF
his application for the Italian mission.

mere abatement ITSELF For one Of Mr..
Tsylor's political record the past
three or four years to affirm
that he Is for Lee and Daniel,
and at the same time run as an
independent in county which gives
Democratic majority Of over 200, is to
sadly impeach his own judgment, or
make Of the proposition . reducsio ad
aJsmdrm. His inconsistency is fur
Their made apparent by the fact that his
nomination by the Republican Convsn-
ton was at one time generally regarded
among the probabilities, and, whether
he authorized il or not, the canvass Of
his claims by some Of the delegates to
that Convention is proof Of his /" nom
descript" position.
As to his references personal to my
self, I have only to say that immedi-
stely after the passage Of the Riddle
berger bill | gave in these columns my
reasons why all Democrats who sup
ported that measure as a final settle
ment should realign themselves with
the Democratic party, and | will not
repeat them in this connection, as the
correctness Of the position then taken
is demonstrated by the present attitude
of some Of our Readjuster lights who
are rampant leaders Of a radical type
Of Republicanism, and by others who
have become their aiders and abettors
in the capacity Of independent candi-
dates. Not having had in my service
Of three years as Confederate soldier
an opportunity to follow General Fitz
Lee, rejoice all the more in the chance
to follow him now, not as Mr.. Taylor,
who, like Peter Of old. /" followed afar
off," but in that column OF organized
veterans who will respond with effect
to his "bugle call for peace, the har-
mony of the races, and sectional fra
ternity.
Mr.. Taylor's high estimate Of his
own legislative services and of his mil
itary heroism at responding to "war
bugles " has, in this latitude at least,
the spice Of decided novelty to recon-
mend it. ] will also put on record
that he gives himself quite needless
concern in assuring the public that |
must not fear him as nondescript
politician" for his candidacy was only
mentioned as any other fact in news
