Grants Grave.

There Is much discussion upon the
question Of final resting place for
the body Of General Grant. Almos,
every city Of size or note in the
Union desires tho honor. In this
regard, our opinion is that, wherever
our hero is buried, it should be in
such manner and place az will allow
Of . fpll compliance with whatever
wishes be expressed and be agree
able to the desires Of the members
Of bis family. After these considers
tions We tliink that the claims Of
whatever place is most closely linked
with the memories OF his life should
have the preference. II ives the
recognition Of this chat brought the
homes Of Columbus iron Vallsdolid
in Spain to rest in America. He
belongs to America.

itself - having claims indubitsbly
superior TO those Of any other local.

Rev. DR.. William Dinwiddie, Of
Alexandria, concluded his services at
the First Presbyterian church last
night. He has been preaching here
four weeks. with great success, as has
been several times mentioned in this
correspondence. Yesterday the COM
munion services at the First Presbyte-
rian church marked one Of the most in
teresting occasions ever witnessed in this
city. One hundred and thirteen persons
were received into the communion of
that church, Of whom one hundred were
new converts, the remainder being
received on certificate from other
churches. OF those received on exami-
nation sixty-three were females, in
GLIDING fifteen pupils of the Augusta
Female Seminary, and thirty-seven were
males, including eight students Of the
Kable High School. Among those who
joined were a venerable gentleman of |
fourscore and six years, perhaps Staun-
toms oldest citizen, and another aged |
father and his youngest son, with a
of young businessmen and
boys. The First and Second Presby-
terrain congregations worshipped togeth-
er on this occasion, and the pastor, Rev,
j. p. Strider, was assisted by Rev. DIR.
Dinwiddie and Rev. j. +. Booker.
The large church was crowded and
over five hundred persons communed.
At night there were no services in the
Baptist and Methodist churches, their
pastors and people joining in the ser
vices at the First Presbyterian church,
md the church being again packed, even

Two Years in the Penitentiary- Long Trial

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatcii. J
LEBANON. VA, Feb. I, 1885.
The case Of Charles Ball, for the
murder of E. +. Boyd, in December,
1888. was tried again at this term of
our County Court, and the jury found
him guilty of voluntary manslaughtcr
and sentenced him to two years con-
finement in the penitentiary. This is
the fourth trial Of Charles Ball. He
was first put on trial in June last, and
pending the trial made his escape. He
was rearrested shortly afterward, and
at the July term was tried. convicted.
and sentenced to two years confne-
ment. This verdict was set aside by
the Appellate Court. He was again put
on trial at the last December term. and
the jury failed to agree. This morning.
after four days spent in investigating
the case, the jury again found him
guilty.

The people of Russell county are
nearly unanimous in their support of
the Blair educational bill. They COM
mend most highly the valuable service
rendered by the Dispatch in the late
election, and also its able support of
the Blair bill. The Dispatch is right
in demanding that our nominee for
Governor shall favor this bill. The

the bill.

THAT CESTENARrAN.--Recently
we copied from tho Chsrlcstown papers
notice of the death Of venerable
lady in our native county OF Jefferson
at the advanced age Of one hundred and
seven years. and took occasion to men
ton the fact that we knew the deceased.
And now our respected contemporary
the Richmond Dispatch submits TO us
this question DO you knoso that the
old lady was one hundred and seven
years oldg" What funny question
that to PROFOUND to man Of our age J
or course we do not know" the fact
here asserted {; and for the reason that
the now deceased was an old lady when
VIC were born, and had passed her teens
when our venerable friend Of the Dis
patch came into the world. How could
either of us, therefore, have positive
knowledge respecting an event that hap
pened before we had a being? We only
know that the person in question was
an old lady when we first knew her,
more than forty years ago; and that
she had son who died some years
since, an old man, and would il now
living be somewhere between eighty
and ninety years of age. Isn't that
enough? And can't the octogenarian
of the Dispatch exercise faith as to the
rest?-Lynchburg Virginian.
f0ur faith is weak
