NORFOLK, November 5, 1885.
The Woman's MissionarySociety OF
the Virginia Conference continued It's
annual session in Portsmouth to-day,
with Mrs. Julisna Hays, OF Baltimore,
presiding. The reports Of the auxiliary
societies of the Richmond churches
made the best exhibit, and those OF
Lynchburg came next. The Society
will hold its anniversary meeting at
Monumental church tonight and then
adjourn sine die. A large amount
of money has been raised by the So
ciety during the year for missionary
purposes.
The remarkable revival at Salem
Baptist church, near this city, con-
tinues under the preaching Of Rev. r.
w. Cridlin, assisted by Rev. W. p.
Kinds, of Churchland. There have been
eighty conversions so far.
The Democrats Of Norfolk county
express their determination to contest
the election of Captain Thomas NJ.
Hodges to the Senate on the ground Of
intimidation of voters at Halls Corner
and Churchland precincts. They say
d. that il the Republicans are permitted to
carry on their unlawful schemes at the
polls unrebuked, free ballot is de-
srroyed. and there is no redemption for
the white men Of the county.
Several justices Of the peace Of the
city are before the grand jury to-day
for investigation, charged with malead-
ministration. The charges are brought
by Republicans.
Sixty-two new members were added
to the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of this city during the month of
October. The organization is now on
a fourishiDg footing.
Ore Of the registrars Of this city
was fined $50 to-day by Judge Brook,
of the Corporation Court. for refusing
to register O voter. The registrar
claimed that it was represented to him
that the man lived in Portsmouth. This
is the first fine of the kind ever i'm
posed in Norfolk.
Captain Conkling and crew, Of the
schooner Magellan, bound from Nanse-
mond river to New York, with cargo
Of wood. have arrived in the city. Cap
tain Conkling reports that on Tuesday
morning, while off Absecum, n. j., his
vessel was struck by an unknown
schooner and had her head-gear carried
away and bow stove in. His vessel
filled rapidly and had to be abandoned,
when the schooner Mary F. Godfrey,
Captain Godfrey, from New York,
bound South, came to his assistance
and rescued himself and crew. All
that was saved from the abandoned
vessel was few clothes and yawl-
boat.
The superintendent Of public schools
in Portsmouth declared the Glasgow
Street Academy unsafe this afternoon,
and the pupils were dismissed, the six
schools in the building were closed,
and the Council notified.

was rejoicing with those who rejoice in
Virginia, and also over HILLS election

The Black Counties.

While the Democrats all over the
State are entitled to the greatest praise,
and deserve to share the honors of the
victory, it must be said that the black
counties that have overcome entirely or
greatly reduced their Republican ma
jorities have covered themselves with
glory. NAH ONE, so he supposed, held
many Of these counties in an iron grip.
He was fighting for his political life, and
had resorted to every possible expe-
dent to delude the ignol AZ, entrap
the unwary, and coerce the timid. Our
party managers had appalling odds to
contend against; yet by unceasine
work, by patient effort to instruct the
uniformed regarding the vital issues
at stake, by encouraging the weak
kneed, by pluck and perseverance, they
most efiectually shattered MAnoNE's
power. The people in the counties
that are solidly Democratic send greet
ing and thanks to Charlotte, King Viii
liam, Halifax, Buckingham, Prince Ed
ward, Louisa, Southampton, Isle o
Wight, and all other counties similarl,
situated.

The election Is over, and the Demo-
| Gratis have very large majority in the
Legislature. It's, therefore, almostim-
possible to compliment one man
without offending another. But we
think that all Of the many gentlemen who
have been mentioned for the United
States Senate will agree that Mr.. BAR
gouR is entitled to the following landa-
tons, whether he is entitled to be
United States Senator or not:
The Lynchburg Necs says;
".well done, good and faithful ser
yant,' is the commendation which will
90 right from the hearts Of true Virgin
isns to our victorious chief. Again has
he organized victory, and again has he
put his heel on the neck Of the PROSTATE
Boss. This time, we believe, he has
made finish Of him, or at least so
near it that he will cease to be trouble
some. With power gone and patronage
gone and prestige gone, he will be but
o feeble wreck Of his former self, and
will no longer be dangerous. Barbour
is his master. All thanks and honor
to the captain of our host, who has led
US safely out Of the wilderness. The
people will bear him in grateful remem-
brance."
The Alexandria Gazette says:
"There is no doubt of the fact that
Mr.. Barbour, the chairman Of the DEM
ocratic State Committee, has conducted
the campaign in as able and skilful a
manner as it would have been possible
for any other man to have done with
the means at his disposal. From the
day he was reelected chairman Of the
committee to the present he has done
nothing that be should not have done,
and done everything that he should
have done to secure the success of his
party and to execute in the most
efficient manner the trust commit
ted to him. In his characteristic, quiet,
smooth, easy, and unostentatious manner
he has played the cards that were dealt
to the Democracy Of Virginia for all
they were worth. His financial ability
has raised the funds requisite for the
prosecution Of the campaign, and when
there was lack he has not hesitated to
supply the deficiency out of his own
means. lie has slept during the entire
campaign with one eye open, and will
have the enviable consciousness Of hav-
ing well and ably discharged his duty"

Each had been IN the habit Of giving
Democratic majority Of from 500 to
500. There wssa Democratic paper In
each. In 1860 the Monongalia paper
supported DouoLAs and the Marion
paper supported BREcKrNRIDaE. A
number Of the same men made speeches

PETERSBURG AND VICINITY.

Personal and Political Notes-Scratching Co
lortd Candidates. Petersburg TO illumi.
nate.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
PETERSBURG, November 5, 1885.
Hon. John S. Wise, late Republican
candidate for Governor, was in the city
yesterday, and visited Senator Malone.
He does not appear detected by his de-
feat. Indeed, he seemed in excellent
spirits. In his recent speech in this
city, after predicting Republican sue
cess, he told the large audience ne was
addressing that should he be defeated
he did not want his friends to shed
tears for him; that he was like an In
dia-rubber ball-the harder it is hit the
higher it bounds ; and on the day after
election he would be as full Of life and
spirit and energy as he was before.
1t is reported that Congressman Bra
dy was not greatly surprised at the re-
suit, though doubtless he was disap-
pointed.
Judge Bassett French is in the city
to preside at our Hastings Court in GER
tain cases in which Judge Budd is in
terested as counsel.
The Democratic rejoicing here over
Tuesdays victory is 30 great that it is
believed it will only be satisfied in find
ing vent in a general illumination and
torch-light demonstration. 1t is said
that preparations for the event will be
commenced at once.
1t is noticed that A. W. Harris, the
cOlored Republican candidate for the
House Of Delegatesin Dinwiddie county,
ran far behind his ticket. The colOred
candidate for the House in this city was
also scratched considerably.
The stock Of goods Of Messrs. Z. j.
Bond & Brother, which was destroyed
by fire last night, was insured for
$1,000 in the Imperial, of London, in
stead Of the Petersburg Savings and In
surance Company, as stated. The
building was the property Of Mr..
James Bailey, and was also partially
insured. The fire was very bright
one, and drew an immense crowd to
the spot, the report having gotten
abroad that Messrs. Venable & Co. s
large tobacco factory was on fire.
The factory was in serious danger, but
fortunately was not injured. The wind
was in the opposite direction, and to
this is probably DUE the fact that it was
not damaged.
There is report on the Streets to-
day that the dead body of decently-
dressed white man, supposed to be from
Petersburg, was found this morning
near Blick's saw-mill, in Prince George
county, but no definite particulars
could be obtained as to the identity of
the person or the cause Of death.
In the Mayors Court this morning
the colored men charged with attempt
ing to deposit more votes in the ballot
boxes than the law allows, were, after
examination, sent on for trial at the
January term Of the Hastings Court.
They were admitted to bail in the sum
of $3.50 for their appearance.

Comments on the Results I'm New
York and Virginia.

York ana Virginia.
The announcement Of Democratic sue
cesses in New York and Virginia yes
terday morning evoked happy ejacula-
tons fromNDemocrats in Washington.
"Tm SO happy over the result" re-
marked Congressman Hill, Of Ohio,
THAT l cannot describe my feelings.
I'm glad Mahone's knocked out in Vir-
ginia. am well repaid for my week
spent in stumping the State against him
and in the interest of nee."
ats good news " exclaimed Con-
gresham Broadhead, of Missouri, as
he waved a copy of the Post in the
Office Of Wizards Hotel. New York
endorses the Administration, and | am
in hope Barbour will succeed Malone
in the Senate; he ought to, anyhow"
Congressman Morrison, Of Illinois,
believed that the results Of yesterdays
elections showed conclusiyely that the
country is Democratic by a safe ma
iority, and he was, OF course, glad of it.
=" It's just right" said Hon. John
Oberly. We've met the enemy, etc.
It's very gratifying, all the same"
Ex-senator Window did not relish
the news which the electricity had
brought from New York and Virginia.
IL Eel. confident" he said, tina: New
York would go Republican"
Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, said that
it seemed very much as if the Demo-
Gratis who left the party last fall to
rally to Blaine's standard did not go
to stay.
Congressman O'Neill, of Missouri,
was glad because the Irish who desert
ed the party last fall had seen the error
of their way, and had returned to the
fold.
General Eppa Hunton, Of Virginia,
thinks the overthrow Of Malone was a
grand achievement and the New York
success was an endorsement Of the
Democratic Administration.
Ex-Congressman Young thought that
the victory would straighten the Demo
cratic party and put it in good shape.
~ have nothing to say concerning
the result in New York." said Senator
Evarts, laconicallY.

Sparks, Commissioner of the Land
Office, sis that the Democrats had the
greatest number of votes"

the Administration" says First-As-
sistant Postmaster-G General Stevenson.
alt was a glorious victory" said
Third-Auditor Of the Treasury Will
liams. 81 think it means the utter
obliteration of the Mugwumps-that
third party which claimed to have
elected Cleveland as a Democrat and
wanted to elect Davenport as Repub-
lican. They wanted to run both camps.
And if they had succeeded in elect
ing Davenport they would have
been q power to which both the
Democratic and Republican parties
would have had to bow. They tried to
dictate their terms to the Democrats in
this election in New York, but the
Democrats would have none Of them !;
so they went over to the Republicans,
many of the more decent of whom |
have no doubt, stayed at home on cleo
tion-day from this very reason, being
disguised with the Mugwumps. The
latter have, however, now gone up the
spout, and I'm glad Of is."- Washing

Correspondence fthe Richmond Dispatch
NOVEMBER 5, 1885.
The large supply Of the Dispatch re-
ceived here yesterday was taken up in
few minutes by persons anxious to
read its page Of election returns. Its
makeup, including pictures Of Lee,
Massey, and Ayers, were favorably
commented on by scores of readers.
Many paused on the streets to peruse
the interesting intelligence it contain
ed. The news-boys could not begin to
supply the demand for the paper.
Intelligence was received here yester-
day Of an assault made on DR.. q. j..
Walker, Of Brownsburg, Rockbridge
county, on election-day, by a negro
man. The sssailant cut him with
knife in several places. 1t is said the
wounds are severe, but do not endauger
his life. DR.. Walker Is one Of the
most popular and highly-esteemed citi-
zens Of Rockbridge. The white men
present acted with rare presence of
mind and calmness. and through their
efforts preserved the peace under such
aggravated circumstances.

to prepare the way to supply under the

The Dispatch deserves great praise
for the able and gallant fight it made
for or cause in the contest just over
Vest Point Star.
We return thanks to our West Point

a remark we had thought of making
anyhow-namely, that the county pa
per Of each county having such paper
contributed more to the success of the
cause than all the speeches delivered in
that county. In this city the State,
the Campaign, and the Dispatch labor
ed zealously and faithfully each in its
own field; and the States editor took
the stump also. Our point, however,
is that the speakers, without claiming
it, get all the credit for Democratic
victories; whereas, when there are
Democratic defeats, the papers are at
once held responsible for these.
In 1860 the fact Of which we are
speaking was illustrated in Marion
and Monopgalis counties. Those coun-

ANSWER.

The terms of the members of the
House of Representatives expire the
same day the term of the President of
the United States expires. Conse-
quently, JOHN S. WISE has not been a
congressman since the 4th of March last,
and of course therefore would not have
been entitled to sit in extra session il
Congress had been convened at any
time since that day.

At Dromgoole's precinct colored
man voted the Democratic ticket aud
started home, and about half mile
from the precinct was oyertaken by five
colored Republican voters and badly
beaten by them. Three Of them were
promptly arrested, and admitted, it is
said, before the justice on trial that
they beat him because he voted the
Democratic ticket. The three parties
are now in Jail, and warrants Of arrest
are out for the others. This shows
which party did the bulldozing in this

To the Editor Of the Post:
The prediction | made in your paper
OF September 10th, in regard to
Mahone's defeat, has been fulfilled.
His overthrow gives satisfaction to
thousands outside Of the Democratic
party. Although never had the least
doubt as to the result, it will now re-
move all the doubts of those who had
any, and make it clear that on the
Senate roll of 1888 his name will
not appear. Use the enclosed as a
