King invited her to take turn in his

was about to fling herself into the royal

Notwithstanding his peculiarities, the
King of Bavaria is looked up to with
awe by the masses Of his people, and
the upper-ten are said to regard his &C.
centricities with the respect due to
those of a genius. The question Of
WAYS and means, it seems, has rendered
the extreme step of appointing a
Council Of Regency necessary. Lud-
wig has spent his fortune in carrying
out his day dreams. TheatricalS, mu
sic, and a mania for building castles
have proved to be almost ruinous pur-
suits. The King has not only spent all
that he could of his hereditary for
tune, but he has been borrowing money
so hard on his civil-list revenues as to
dip them almost beyond the power of
redemption. He has not the slightest
idea of the value Of money, and never
is at the pains to learn it.
A reason is given why Ludwig II.
evidences such anti-German lack Of
thrift. According to well-informed
English writer, he is the victim Of too
rigid and bookish education. His eccle-
siastical preceptors wanted to make him
a well of science and sage. They
forced nature as far as it was possible.
Ludwig was not in youth allowed sin
gle amusement Of boyish kind. AS
soon as he became his own master he
INDUCED in the games from which he
had been debarred by his tutor. He
knew nothing of real life. After he
put away childish things he did not be-
come man in point of intellect. All
he cared to do was to realize artistic
fantasies, and all he yet cares to do is
no more. Perhaps, however, the re-
suits Of his folly may yet teach this
unstatesmanlike king something Of
worldlv wisdom

The work still stays in the trunk,

while the more charming reading Of

discriminate. We feel convinced she
kept all her diSagreeable people at
home, and in fit Of noble unselfsh-

laugh Of one Of them, who has changed
her room ten times in order to accom-

for parties are continually being made

through the famous Goshen Pass, now
made even more famous by the inspiring
pen Of Mrs. NJ. l.. Preston.

is a bachelor. an enthusiastic lover OF
art, especially music. and theatricals,
an eccentric man, loving solitude and
pursuing even his recreations alone,
capricious as a sovereign and Civ
ing so little time to the duties
of his kingly Office that, if the jour
nalists OF Europe are rightly IN
formed. he is to be placed under the
goyernance Of q Council Of Regency.
During the early years Of his reign his
constant companion and friend, prooa-
bly, the only man whom he ever loved,
was Richard Wagner. The popular
clamor caused by the intimacy led TO
its termination. Ludwig was compelled
to send away his friend from the palace
obedent to the public will. One mat
ter, however, is creditable to the Kings
political sagacity; he sided with Prus-
STA in the contest with France Of 1871
II, and favored the unifcation Of
Germany.
Many stories are told Of Ludwig in
proof Of his extreme eccentricity. He
was at the Paris Exhibition, in 1867.
While in the French capital he fell over
head and ears in love with the Empress
Eugene. When she parted with him at
the station as he was about to return
home, she kissed him. He has never
allowed the lips of another woman to
touch him since that sacred occasion.
One tried, and received ducking for
her reward. She was an actress, and
had created the role of Iseult. The

THE POLITICAL JUGGLERY

or John =. Wise as shown Up by a Colored
Voter.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The New York Tribune Of Monday
publishes in its columns rather antique
and wholly false story in regard to the
success of Hon. John S. Wise's Jug
glery among the Virginia negroes. The
story relates that during a political
meeting at one of eur court-houses Mr..
Wise completely charmed and gained
the support Of the negroes by striking
with bullets from his carbine glass balls
tossed into the air by himself and the
darkies. The story is not worth COM
menting upon save as an illustration
Of the faith that Wise, Malone
& Co. have in the success Of
political jugglery among the colored
men of the State. At Washington,
before the Danville Investigating Com
mittee, Mr.. Wise makes the statement
that he is accustomed to receive eminent
colored men, and even colored members
of the Virginia Legislature, in his
kitchen-a statement disgraceful both
to his sense of courtesy and to the
pride and intelligence Of my race-and,
returning to Richmond, makes, by a
linguistic jugglery Of words, an apol-
ogy for that statement which in spirit
heaps insult upon injury. At
the convention which sluiced the
Readiuster into the Republican
party Of the State, Malone,
reading his own cut-and-dried platform,
said, "This shall hereafter be known
as the Republican party of Virginia"
and, while the tumtlt is still raging
high, reads that portion Of his platform
which virtually gives him the power of
appointing county chairmen, thus taking
away from colored men and all free
men of the party the right of choosing
their own chairmen. so that to-day
there is not a colored chairman in
the State. The present platform of
the party declares its opposition to
convict labor being brought into COM
petition with free labor, and yet boasts
that the party has made the penitentiary
a self-sustaining institution. Now, it's
going to take a mighty wise piece of
jugglery to reconcile in the mind of the
colored man Of average intelligence this
inconsistency.
The Tribune further states that Mr..
Wise will have the enthusiastic sup
port of the Virginia negroes.

BUCKINGHAM COURTHOUSE.
August Is, 1885.
At the last meeting Of the Board of
Supervisors Of this county there was
presented a petition signed by some of
our largest taxpayers requesting that
a commission be appointed to investi-
gate the affairs Of the county and as
certain and report to the public how
much money had been expended within
the last fiscal year, and for what pur-
poses. 1t has been the practice hereto
fore for the clerk to make a
report from time to time and
post conspicuously for inspection,
there being no newspaper published
in the county in which to insert, as re-
quired by law. The Board expressed
their willingness to comply with this
request by appointing three Of their
number as committee TO make and
publish this report. The county levy
for all purposes is now fixed at Is cents,
and this added to the State levy makes
the burdensome tax of Sl.05 on the
sl00. The desire Of the petitioners is
to ascertain what has caused such an
increase in taxation, and no reflection
was meant to be cast on the county Of
ficials.
There was convention consisting of
delegates from this and Cumberland
county assembled at Mount Nebo IA
negro church, on Saturday last to nomi-
nate a candidate to represent the two
counties in the Legislature, but they
failed to agree on the man, the Cumber-
land delegates insisting on the nomina-
ton of a candidate from their county,
and the Buckingham delegation equally
as obstinate.
There was meeting held to-day to
arrange preliminaries for a grand mask
ball to be had near Howardsyille on the
2Sth, and the youth and beauty of seve-
raj counties will be expected to take
part in the festivities.

The latest development Of Germany's
colonization policy is the formal occu-
patton of the Caroline Islands. Spain
claims the islands as part of her
PHILIPPINE possessions, but the Berlin
press justifies the annexation on the
ground that the Spaniards have never
had settlement on the group. Ger
many is rapidly becoming proficient in

Judge Browns nomination for the
House is universally conceded to be the
strongest that could have been made,
and his election is assured by at least
500 majority. He is a nephew of the
late Judge Lucas p. Thompson, of this
judicial circuit, and is himself lawyer
Of fine ability. He is also large and
successful farmer, and withal the most
popular man in the county. He will
make one of the most useful and influ-
entail members Of the next General As

1t is mentioned as matter of news
that last week 1.-THE demand for silver
dollars was unusually large at the Sub
Treasury in New York city. Four
banks applied for and received 100000
in standard dollars. Other banks made
application until the total amount of
silver dollars paid out of the Sub-Trea-
sury aggregated 100000" So the
" Silver Spook" is not such a horrible
monster, after all.

State, says;
"virginia's cause Is the cause OF
every southern State, and oil every
State in the Union where Il is possible
10 overthrow respectable Government
by combination OF the worst elements
Of society"
Again:
"The whites have sweeping ma
jority in Virginia, and IL in that State
with Democratic administration and
popular candidates. the Democracy can
be overcome by the leaders Of combi-
nation of negroes and unthinking whites,
how serious will be the danger OF a
similar movement in States where the
colored people have normal majority,
or nearly so."
And sgain:
Mahoneism and Wise must be
buried so deep that they will never be
heard Of again in American politics.
And this result can only be reached, in
our opinion, by making the campaign
red-bot and straight-out from the start.
1.-The Democracy Of the State
are arrayed against Mahoneism with all
that the word implies--the prostitution
Of the State to selfish purposes, the
conversion Of the public institutions
into political almshouses and hospitals,
the domination Of what is highest and
most pure by what is lowest in aim and
purpose. The very civilization Of the
State is in peril, and this truth needs to
be driven home on every stump in Vir-
ginia."
What do Virginisns think of this
view Of the national character Of the
contest? What do Virginians think of
this view of their duty? The answer
they will give at the polls in November
will be awaited anxiously throughout
the South especially.
