H. S. Hackley has been appointed post
masted at Gaines Cross Roads, Rappahan-
mock county.
Capt Il. c. Clifford, the chief officer Of the
steamer Ariel of the James River Line,
died suddenly in Richmond yesterday.
On Thursday young farmer of Norfolk
county, named Barney Curtin, was caught
under falling log and crushed fearfully,
breaking his legs and hips, and so mangIing
his body that his life is despaired of.
The liquor dealers of Richmond have
adopted resolution calling upon their
friends to petition the judge of the Hastings
Court to order q local-option election in the
city for day in next month, to be here
after fixed. The depressing effect of the
agitation of the question on business caused
the liquor men to precipitate the fight as
early as possible.
The man who was hunted through Chester
field county across the river from Rich
mond) for three days as the burglar who
entered the grocery store of Hermann
Schmidt and attempted to blow open the
safe, and who shot Police Sergeant Brooks
at the depot and escaped, was captured yes.
terday afternoon About fifteen Richmond
police, the Chesterfield county constabulary
and number Of volunteers joined in the
hunt for the fugitive, and on Wednesday
evening two Richmond officers came up
with him at Coal6eld Station, on the Rich
mond and Danville Road, and fired at him
with shot.guns, but be again escaped to the
woods He crossed the river to Richmond
yesterday afternoon on the Belle Isle bridge,
but as soon as he landed he Yves discovered
and pursued by workmen in the Tredegar
Works, and jumped into boat and attempt
ed to recross the river. The pnrsllers TO-
lowed, and captured him in mid river, he
making no resistance, though armed. The
prisoner gives the name of Chas Shaw, and
says that he lives in New York, and is shoe
maker by trade. He had received rum-
Der of bird shot in his leg.

DARING; ATTEMPT "A sensation has been
produced in Sicily by ii most daring attempt
by brigards to capture the great grandson
of Admiral Nelson. The young gentleman
is the Hon. Victor Albert Nelson Hood, son
OF The present and third Baron Bridport,
whose father was the husband of Lady
Charlotte, daughter of Admiral Nelson.
His father is equerry to the Queen and
Duke of Bronte, in Sicily. The family es-
tate includes the property containing the
CASTILLO dc MANAGE, which was given by
the King of Sicily TO the Admiral. Victor
was residing in the castle when the brigands,
who, it is believed, had plotted to take him
a prisoner, and hold him for a high ransom,
made an attack in force upon the place.
The servants wore brave and soon rallied
around their young master in defence of his
person and estate. A fierce fight ensued,
which resulted in the defeat and dispersal
Of the robbers, but only after many of them
were disabled by wounds. Four of the bril-
gands were taken prisoners and turned over
to the custody Of the authorities.

George B. Stewart and John 3. Syphax,
of Virginia, with letter of introduction
from Congressman Daniel, of their State,
called upon the President yesterday, and
presented an address, stating that at the

they would not again be bound together by

and hoping that the day may soon come
when race and color will not divide tho pc

This address had been submitted to Gov.

THE WASHINGTON correspondent OF the
Indianapolis Sentinel say that in one of the
departments ut Washington list of one
hundred and ninety employees thereof, OF.
fensive republican partisans, was made out
for removal, in order that democrats might
be appointed in their places, but that as
soon as the names on That list became
known prominent democrats, among them
three Virginians holding distinguished po'
sitions, used their influence to have the
incumtents retained. And yet it is by no
means risky assertion to say that every
one of the prominent democrats referred to
has told democratic applicants for office
that it was impossible for him TO get them
positions. The President is not more to
blame in the matter of federal patronage
than many prominent democrats who, when
he can't hear them, unite with the vast ma
jority of their party in consuming him for
not removing republicans. Of all the Con.
gressmen who applied for the retention of
republicans in the particular department
referred to, only four were republicans;
which fact puts the republican Congress
men in better light than their democratic
colleagues.

THE MINERS OF soft. coal in this country
having struck, the owners of one of the
mines, who had large contract to fill, have
ordered fifty thousand tons of such coal from
England. The strike, therefore, has bene'
fited both the coal and the shipping inter
ests of England; but what advantage it will
be to a single man in this country is what
only the strikers can tell. The loss to the
coal company will probably amount to a
slight reduction in the next dividend to the
stock holders, but how different to the
wives and children of the strikers, and to
those of the thousands of other laborers in
the coal trade whose employment has been
stopped BY the strike.

Tn TIE last number of the EducMtOhlne
Journal of Virginia, Mr.. r. r. Farr, late su'

"Onlv six of the one hundred and eleven
old sunerintendents have been retained.
\ Of course the SELECTION

Asmany of the "new men" are gentlemen
who were removed by Mr.. Farr and his assocl'
ates four years age, some ofthem after having
organizsd the school system in their res
pectiye counties, and directed it faithfully
and efficiently for twelve years, and as they
we're. ccnfessedly, removed for their "politi'
cal opinions" only, and as Mr.. Farr himself
though without the requisite qualifications,
was appointed the successor of DR.. hunner'
the very father of the system, when ne was
removed for the same reason, it strikes us
that this utterance of that gentleman IS 8
triae cheeky" to say the least of it. AS
the old squire says in "She Stoops to Con
ouer." sit may be modern modesty but
It looks like old fashioned assurance
He also gives his opinion as to the short
coming of the General Assembly in not hav-
ing passed certain acts and says 10 enuner-
ating them Zone repeating the law
which created the present County Board OF
School commissioners to elect school trus
tees a political monstrosity injected into
the system without cause and with disas-
trous effects"
Now, that law was passed precisely be-
cause the Mahoneits had removed for Pot1h
cal reasons, every county Judge and every
county superintendent of schools and filled
their places with men of their own stamp,
many of them wholly unit for those offices,
and thus enabled their party to appoint
school trustees of the same sor. and through
them, control the public school teachers
politically. Why board composed OF three

Knowing its citizens, should not be better

the Board OF Education, the members OF
which have, of course, no such personal &C.
uuaintauce in each county as would enable
them to select understandingly, and ma

but Mahoneite can imagine. Mr.. Farr
should have reserved his uttorances for July:
