LETTER FROM RICHMOND.
Correspondence of the Alexandria GAZETTE

RICHMOND, Va, February IS, 1856.
The contest in the democratic caucus over
the nomination for Judge of the Sixth Ju-
dicia Circuit wakes warmer and warmer.
The Petit men hold the balance Of power,
and as long as they maintain their position
neither Moon nor Grimsley can be nominated.
The latter having once been judge, has
this point in his favor, but the Moon men,
to use the language of one of them, "are
moving heaven and earth to secure the NOM
ination of John 3. Moon"
The caucus will meet again tomorrow
night, and then there will he another warm
ard exciting contest. Every democratic
member of the Legislature now absent from
his seat is paired on the nomination. The
Petit men, it is understood, will have
conference tonight TO decide rs to the course
they will pursue.
Gov. Lee sent in his first message 10 the
General Assembly this afternoon. 1t is
quite lengthy, and relates to the debt ques
ton. The communication was not read in
the House, but it was ordered to be printed.
Gov. Lee has some sound doctrine in his
message. and the Legislators will read it
with no little interest.
At the democratic caucus tomorrow
night the committee appointed to report the
hest plan for the order of business, will sub
nit n report. Tue committee will recon-
mend the best plan for the consideration of
the most important measures now pending
in the General Assembly, viz: The convict
labor, local option, public debt, delinquent
lands, etc.
1t is very necessary that some recommend
alton Of this sort should be made, since
there is now lack of unanimity as to the
easiest way to dispose Of the crowded CAL
endar.
Citizens of Albemarle, Nelson, and Buck
ingham, at mass meeting, held at How

efforts made by Messrs. Munford, of Pittsyl-
vania, Stuart, of Alexandria, and Brown,
Of Nelson, to secure the passage of the rail
road commissioners bill. To. day these gen.
tlemen received copies of the resolutions
adopted.
The Senate was busily engaged again to-
day taekling the local option bill. The
speech made by Senator Lovenstein, of

TO SHOW how the morals of Virginia have

TO SHOW how the morals of Virginia have
bsen perverted by the fell spirit of repudia-
ton, it is only necessary to allude to the fact
that some of the people of the State have
been taught by it to believe that the widow
or daughter of Virginian whose hus-
band or father left her Virginia
bonds for a support, is not only un-
patriotic, but actually criminal, and deserves
to be boycotted, for offering the coupons of
those bonds in payment of her taxes. In
other words, that it is, not the State which
repudiates her just debt and robs her credi-
tors, that is to blame, but the innocent cred
itor, who having accepted the coupons in
good faith, offers them in payment of taxes,
and that, too, though the coupons have
printed upon their faces the States promise
to accept them in payment of all debts due
her.

Fatal Row Among Thieves.

CHICAGO, III. Feb. ia fatal row be.
tween thieves occurred last evening in the
basement under a little coal office, at 10
144 West Lake street. Sam Booth, Jack
Mclean and one or two others belongirg 10
the criminal class, were playing game Of
cards in the basement mentioned, which is
a sort of rendezvous for the gang. A dis.
pute arose between Booth and Mclean,
which grew into fight. Mclean claims
that Booth struck him with poker. At
all events both men drew knives and at.
tackled each other viciously. Mclean was
simply wounded slightly on the wis, but
he sunk his knife deep into the left side Of
Booths neck, severing the jugular vein and
inhicting cash which extended down to
the shoulder. This put an end to the ailray
and the wounded mans companions carried
him to the stable Of the Desplaines street
patrol service, and leaned him agaiIs! the
wall on the sidewalk, where they left him.
He was discovered by the police belonging
to the stable, and removed to the county
hospital, where he soon expired. Mclean
was arrested.

was removed from Office by the General As
sembly. To ill thu vacancy thus created,
John Thompson Brown was in 1876 elected
judge Of The county. When The term to Gil
a vacancy in which Brown was elected Judge
was about to expire Kirby was elected by

ACCORDING TO Mr.. Eaton, who certainly
should know all about the civil service,
fewer changes have taken place in that SER
vice during the past year than has been
usual under continuance of republican ad-
ministration. And yet nothing is better
known than the fact that the chief reason
for change in the administration was that
there might be an entire change in the Of
fees under it. Reasonable people wonder
why the democrats should have been put to
the trouble and expense of electing demo
cratic administration, if, under it, not only
the same tariff, the same silver coinage, in
fact every principle and policy of the pre-.
vious republican administrations are to be
continued, but even be executed by the
same officers.

Negro RaYishnr LYnched

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Feb. 19.-Three
weeks ago Joe Burns, repulsvo looking
negro, committed an outrageous assaultupon
one Miss Fellers, of Baltimore, while on her
way from railroad depot at this place TO q
friends house short distance outside OF the
town. This morning Burns paid the penal
ty Of his crime. At 1916 o'clock a body Of
masked men numbering from IS to 100, ap-
preached the Jail and without much ado
took Burns therefrom and dragged him to a
point two miles outside CT the limits Of the
borough and hanged him to tree.

as Judge for about two months. Just at that
time, however, the Court of Appeals decided
in the case of CT parte Meredith, from Prince
William county. that judges elected by the
Legislature to gil vacancies in unexpired
terms were entitled to hold full terms of six
years.
On the strength of this decision Judge
Kirby retired from the bench and Judge
Brown went back UPON il and served as
Judge till December 81, 1882, filing out a
term of six years. Judge Kirby was in De.
cember, 1881, again elected judge, and quail
flied and entered on the discharge of the du.
ties Of the Office for term which he claim.
ed began January l, 1888, and would
not expire till December 81, 1887. But
in December. 1885, the Legislature,
deeming that Judge Kirby's term
would expire December 81, 1885, elected
Thomas D. Fitzpatrick as judge of Nelson
county Fitzpatrick qualified and demand
ed the Office, but Judge Kirby declined to
surrender it. Hence the mandamus at the
instance of Fitzpatrick. The court held that
Kirby was duly elected for the term ofofice
beginning January ], 1880, and expiring De.
cember 81, 1885, and that Fitzpatrick was
duly elected for the term of six years begin
ming January l, 1856, and is now entitled to
hold the Office, resting their decision upon
the grounds adopted in the case of Burks
against Hinton.
The contest between Barksdale and
Armistead for the judgeship of Halifax
county court, was of very similar
character, but had this peculiar feature
on which the controversy chiefly turned,
viz: That there was heretofore con-
test in regard to the Office of Judge in this
county in which it was decided that in and
during the year 1880, the previous incum-
bent of the Office continued to be the lawful
judge of the county, and that the effect of
that decision was to declare the term of his
successor to begin on the first of January,
1851, and continue for six years, viz till De-
cember 81, 1856, and that Judge Armstead's
right to hold the Office to the latter date was
thus res adjudicata
The court held in accordance with the case
of Burks against Hinton and other cases de.
cided by the Court ofAppeals, that the terms
Of the judges of the courts Of this State do,
by force of the Constitution, begin and ex-
pire at fixed periods. And that the decision
above referred to, by which Judge Armstead
was not allowed to begin his term of office
till January l, 1881, did not operate to ex-
tend that term beyond December 81, 1885.
And accordingly Judge Barksdale who
was elected to the Office in December, 1885,
having duly qualified, is entitled to hold the
Office for term of six years, beginning jan
uary !, 1885,

EVERY WISE we'll wisher of Virginia is
gratified to observe the manifestations OF an
increasing desire on the part of the people
and press of the State that tho subject OF
the Stale debt shall be considered in
plain, practical and common sense manner
keeping the Constitution and the decisions
of the United States Supreme Court always
in view, and that terms of settlement OF
that debt shall be agreed upon as soon as
possible that will be satisfactory to the cred
itors and therefore honorable 10 Virginia.
1t is hoped the Legislature will not only OBJ
serve the manifestations referred to-, but
will heed the lesson they teach. The debt
has hampered the State long enough in all
conscience. Let it be settled at once, and
deGnately. There is only one way OF
settling debt honestly, and that is
upon terms with which the creditors
will be satisfied. Nothing is surer than the
fact that the coupons, verified or not, must
he accepted for all State dues. 1t seems, there
fore, only the part of common sense that
they and tho bonds should be refunded at
rate of interest as low as the creditors will
accent,

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10.

THE SCHEME for settling our hnanc'al
troubles. submitted by the Governors mes
sage of yesterday, does not, to our m'no'
give such promise of success as we couiu ue
sire. A commission merely to explain 10
the bondholders the terms of the kldaleDel-
ger ..settlement,"- such word as'settie-
ment" is to be applied to rejected pfopo'
sition-would prove, We fear, only al
expensive superfuity. That the oononoia-
ora need enlightenment on that subject is q
sunposition scarcely to be INDUCED. Inc
nronosition to surrender bond of thou
sand dollars. bearing six per cent. coupon
and to accept in return bond OF i've nun
dred dollars, bearing three per cent. coupon
is too easy of apprehension to require a
commission for its explanation. Nor DO we
think that a commission charged only with
the "duty of urging" them "to accede to the
settlement which Virginia has decreed'"
would predispose the bondholders to a frame
of mind suited to amicable negotiations. "A
commission sent out with such Instructions
would be sure to return as it went, ana we
should then be precisely in the condition IN
which We are now. liza commission 10 the
bondbolders is to be created and we heart
ilv approve of one properly ipstructed-let it
20 out with general powers to negotiate for
the best attainabe results and let it report
these for the action of the General Assem-
b|y. In that way we may hope to bring
about settlement in fact-a settlement
which will deserve the name-a settle
ment under which invocations from the
Book of Common Prayer will stand some
greater show than they now do, OF beng
receiyed with favor.
