Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, Sept. %, 1886.
The letter Of Colonel Brady's pub
lished in the Dispatch Of this morning,
showing General Mahone's "ingrati-
tude and duplicity," was read with
great deal Of interest here this morning.
While it has long been known that
Colonel Brady's influence in the Re-
publican party greatly aided General
Malone in his political ambition, yet
the public were hardly aware until now
of the extent Of his subserviency to
"tbe Boss" and are disposed to re-
gard his confession as rather humilia-
ting. Colonel Brsdy's denunciation Of
Governor Cameron at Nottoway Court
house, which, he says, was made
at the instance Of Senator Ma
hone, is well remembered by those
who heard it. His subsequent
modification Of his remarks, made upon
the peremptory demand Of Governor
Cameron through John s. Wise, who
acted as the mutual friend Of the par
ties, is also remembered. But it was
never generally known until now that
Ge3eral Malone instigated this abuse
Of such leading men in the party as
Governor Cameron and others. This
information will serve to increase the
hostility to Malone, which has already
grown to considerable proportions in
the district. The approaching canvass
is destined, unless all signs fail, to wit
ness some very lively political develop.
ments-all within the Republican party.
When the leaders show such bitter per-
sonal hostility as has thus far been
manifested the public will doubtless
hear the truth in very attractive form.
A well-informed gentleman writes
that number Of horses belonging to
the farmers in the vicinity of Smith
field, Isle Of Wight county, have died
recently of disease resembling black
tongue, supposed, however. to be brain.
or cerebral.fever. Steps have been
taken to quarantine the infected animals
to prevent the spread of the disease.
The papers in the case Of Holmes r.
Puryear have been forwarded to Judge
Hinton, of the Supreme Court Of APP
peals, at Staunton, with a petition for
q new trial. AS has been previously
stated, the record is voluminous one.
Puryesr's sentence is that he shall be
executed at Prince George Courthouse,
where be was tried, on the 9th Of Oc-
tober, and unless the Supreme Court
grants him new trial or the Governor
interferes the sentence will be carried
out.
A convention Of the peanut-growers
in this section will be held at Wavsrly
on the I'd of October for the purpose Of
consultation relative to the price of
peanuts, and to devise some means, if
possible, to enhance their value to the
planters. Local clubs have been or
gsnized throughout the belt Of peanut
counties, and the organization is ex-
pected to accomplish much good.
Inspector General 10. Lane Stern has
written that he will visit Petersburg
on Tuesday next and inspect the seye-
raj white and colored infantry compa-
MES of the city.
John Gary, very worthy colored
man, aged about forty years, died very
suddenly last night in Mr.. James Hen
nessy's store, on Halifax street, which
be had just entered. Deceased was a
victim Of consumption, and it IS sup
posed that his death was caused by in.
ternal hemorrhage. His death occurred
before he could be removed from the
floor where be fell.
