AN AMENDED LIST.
Some More Of the Old Timers from 1853
to 1859.


to 1859.
In writing hurried article entirely
from memory one is apt to overlook the
names of very prominent persons III the
period of which they write. Such omis-
sion was unintentional in the article on
the conferrees of General Roger A.
Pryor, which appeared in Sunday TIMES.
The following list will partly supplement
that. and there are hundreds of others yet
to be mentioned. OF leading Democrats
of that period who are with us no more
may be mentioned, John b. Young, John
Lynch, ]. p. Taylor, S. c. Davis, John A.
Belvin, p. III. Aylett, Henry Miller, Sam l.
Bayly, George w. Munford, Thomas d.
Bigger, William f. Watson, Thomas e.
Epps, William Wallace. William H.
Lyons, William Lloyd, and John Hagan-
OF those who still survive, full OF years
and hGnors, are William Munford, Viii
liam w. Crump, James Alfred Jones, DR..
George C. Rawlings, and r. z. Richard
son, and V. A. Favier.
Among the noted Wings who will never
rally again at the battle call are John A.
Meredith, Conway Robinson, John w.
Wright, G. A. Myers, John NJ. Patton,
Thomas II. Wynne, S. H. Pulliam, i. /.
Moore, and A. a. Morson.
Among those who still live and have
the confidence and esteem OF all VINO
know them are Thomas J. Evans, Charles
S. Mills, Charles Campbell, and Il. b.
Spence. George r. Peake why certain
ly) is in Kansas, and William F. Butler
is in ;Staunton. Not long since the lat
ter was reported dead, but he rose in
righteous wrath and denied it.
During most of the period alluded to
gallant big-hearted Henry A. Wise was
Governor: Shelton Leake, Lieutenant
Governor; and W. p. Bocock, Attorney
General. John S. Caskie was the Con-
gresham, Joseph Mayo was Mayor
II. r. Daniel, Commonwealth Attorney
John A. Meredith, Senator; William ii.
LYONS, Judge of the Hastings Court
Henry X. Ellyson, Sheriff and Charles
Campbell, Superintendent of the Gas
Works. Among the Councilmen were
G. A. Myers, H. w. Fry, c. 5. Mills, ID.
J. Saunders, S. d. DenoOn, n. b. Hill,
T. w. McCance, r. O. Haskins, William
G.. Allen, and Thomas G. Epps.
In the House of Delegates of that pc
riod were Conway Robinson, William F.
Butler, James A. COwardin, Henry Il.
Ellvson, r. Q. Haskins. r. b. Heath and
A. JudsOn Crane. But there is not time
or space to dwell longer on the
matter. Let it suffice to say
that the decade from 1859 to
1860 was the golden one in every way
in RichmOnds history, and we shall
never again see gathered together such a
galaxy of talent in every field as then
made their home in the capital city of the
Old Dominion.

Died of Heart Disease.

Charles Graves was found dead in a
cellar under No 105 West Broad street
yesterday morning. Coroner Taylor was
notified, and, after view of the body, de
cided that death resulted from heart
disease.
Deceased was a painter, and a man OF
very unsteady habits. In company with
a friend. he was out quite late, and that
was the last time that he was known to
be out. Death probably ensued, partly
from exposure and no blame can possibly
attach to any one in the premises.

Dr. W Leigh Burton, the talented eX-
editor of the Button, has received an invi-
tation to contribute an article to the holi-
day number of the Marshalltown GIL

Lee in behalf of Cluyerius yesterday.
To-day all of the counsel of the CON

the prisoner short respite, to make his
final plea and to prepare tor the ineyl-
