II Malone was not fully convinced be-
fore that he is politically dead, yester-
days Republican convention at Peters
burg, Va, must have taught him that
lesson. Petersburg is Mahone's homo and
he had exerted himself to secure TIE
nomination for General Stith Boiling, his
old personal friend and ex-poHtlnRster of
that city. But the convention sat down
heavily on the Virginia renegade and his
candidate and gave the nomination to
State Senator William Il. Gaines, pro-
nounced anti.Mahonite, by vote OF 81 to
20 for Boiling. Cheers all over the
country, irrespective Of party, arc now in

Jenny Lind's daughter is coming TO this
country to sing. But she can hardly hope
to create the as yet unparalleled furore
that her mother aroused here over 80
years ago; furore which swayed Ill
classes and made even a sight of the
Swedish songstress carriage as ii rolled
through the streets something to be
talked of by country visitors to the cities.
In such populous centres as New York,
Philadelphia and New Orleans choice
seats at her concerts were auctioned on
at prices that make sober readers wonder
at the wave of music madness Barnum's
advertising ingenuity, added to Jenny
Lind's real merit, caused to sweep over
the country, and Genin, q previously I'M
known New York halter, owed the foun-
dalton of a large fortune to the notoriety
given him as the purchaser of the first
Lind concert ticket thus sold In that city.

The ooachman husband Of the erratic
Victoria Morosini may not be gentle
man in the conventional sense Of the
word, but we think most sensible people
win agree that he is too good man for
her and that in leaving him, even II abe
did take all their joint savings with her,
Victoria has done him the best service
she could do him. From the press re-
ports he appears to be an honest and in
dustriCns workingman, who having been
made the Tlaything Of an unprinoipled
enchantress ua.il she tired Of him, is
sensible enough u let her go and look

To shippers Of IcafT0baccO

CHASE CITY, VA, March IL, 1856.
10 the Editor o. the Dispatch:
Knowing that your columns are ever
open for the discussion of such ques-
tions as are of interest and Importance
to any considerable number of your
readers, | ask a small portion Of your
space to call the attention OF shippers
of leaf tobacco to q matter that is OF
vital importance to the tobacco interest.
refer to the matter Of sampling or
inspecting tobacco. Under existing ar
rangements in Richmond aud Peters
burg the only markets in the State in
which the tobacco is sold by sample
the inspector is elected by the Tobacco
Association of the respective cities.
These associations are composed almost
entirely Of buyers. The inspector is
under heavy bond as guarantee that
all tobaccos sold by samples drawn
by him shall be as good as the sample
so drawn. The objections TO this sys-
TEN are 1:
|. 1t is species Of " taxation without
representation, inasnuch as the ssller
of every hogshead of tobacco is taxed
the sum of 81 for sampling and has no
voice whatever in the selection of in
spectors.
.. 1t is manifestly one-sided affair.
Should a package prove worse than the
sample, the buyer Of such package can
recover the difference in value from the
seller. On the other hand, should the
package prove better than the sample
nothing is said, and the seller does not
receive corresponding increase in price.
OF course there are several other mi
nor objections to the system to which |
might call attention, but simply throw
out these suggestions, hoping that some
one more competent than myself may
see fit to discuss the matter more fully.
Ny object in writing this is to call the
attention Of shippers in all the markets
tributary to Richmond and Petersburg
to the importance of holding at some
early day a shippers convention, at
which this and other matters of interest
to the trade may be discussed. The
matter of representation at such a con-
vention could easily be arranged. Each
tobacco market might elect one dele
gate for every ten licensed buyers or
fractional parts thereof.
As most Of your readers are doubt
less aware, the shippers to the Cincn-
natl market recently held such con-
vention, and although some of the
buyers and warehouse-men INDUCED IN
some pretty s. tall kicking the ship
pers finally carried their point.
wish it understood that have nc
complaint against the inspectors IL
Richmond or Petersburg, but simply
claim that the shippers who compose Sc
large and influential portion OF the TO-
bacco trade are entitled to some voice
in this matter, which is one OF SO muci
;nnortonce 20 them. "MoNT."

Hole, In Colorado burned.


DENVER, March GA special to
the Republican from Salida, Col, says
A fire broke out in the Windsor Hotel
at noon yesterday, and in twenty min
utes the building was completely de-
stroyed, the guests barely escaping
with their lives. All their effects were
lost in the burning building. A strong
wind was blowing at the time, and the
fire spread to the adjoining buildings.
The entire block was composed of frame
houses, and despite the efforts OF the
fire department twenty-seven OF the
principal business-houses and over one
half of their contents were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at sl20, 900; in
sured in eastern companies for $4,000.
No one was injured. Had the fire oc-
CURED at night the loss Of life would
have been frightful, as the fire depart
ment could not control the flames
among the wooden buildings.
