To the Editor OF the DiSpdtch:
During the recent rains we country
folks have found world Of comfort in
leisurely following the chess giants
through their varied fortunes in the
great London tournament, and we can
not too highly commend the enterprise
YOU have displayed in so promptly
giving us these full and generally accu-
rste reports.
But with the first change of weather
your typographical fends have begun to
get in their grusome work, aud We find
ourselves no longer following with de-
light the gradual unfolding Of deity
woven schemes, the masked massiDg of
forces, the subtle evasion, or the start
ling stroke which turns the tide Of bat
tie and wrests victory from defeat. But
instead of this we are constrained to
grope along in misty sort Of way,
making an infinite number Of unhappy
euesses, and finally abandoning the
hopeless task i'll a condition of bewil-
dered moistness.
Take, for example, the magnificent
contest between Mackenzie and Bird.
1t is clear, luminous, brilliant. up to
blacks twenty-eighth move. Then the
fog begins to rise. Bird, we are told,
moves king to kings second, when, in
fact, be moves king to queens second.
There is another interchange Of play,
and then Msckenzie's thirty-first move
is reported as queen to kings fourth.
This, however, cannot be done without
unduly crowding the board, and thus
violating a rule which has been enforced
with singular unanimity by all the au-
thorities. Sec Hoyle, Gunter, and even
the blsck-letter writers: sin ye game
Of 70 plate Of cheese Onlie one pyecs shall
be on ye same square at ye same tyne"
In point Of fact kings fourth was oc-
cupied by Mackenzie's opening pawn,
and the sturdy little fellow has held his
ground to date. The real play is queen
to bishops fourth.
With this adjustment we have plain
sailing until the thirty-fourth move,
when whites rock goes to kings third;
but as both rocks are available for the
position We are again beset by rising
doubts. OF course there would be bat
little question of choice in this psrticu-
lar case il we were following an ordi-
nary player. but often Mackenzie so
skilfully screens his purpose that II IL
never safe to take for granted that
which seems most obvious.

TAXING NEWSPAPER SOLICITORS.
In letter to the Lynchburg Advance
j. II. II. FIGGAT, Esq, of Botetourt'
quotes the new law as to newspaper
agents-ss follows :
"Any person other than licensed
merchant who shall receive subscrip-
tions for, or shall in any manner furnish
newspapers, books, maps, prints, PAM
phlets, or periodicals shall be deemed
to be book-sgent."
Mr. FIGGAT comments as follows
"Of course this does not apply to the
owners or prOprietOrs of newspapers,
periodicals, etc., but to soliciting
agents."
1t was not intended to apply to any
persons except those who in some
manner ('any manner") furnish y
newspapers-that is, news-agents. Nc
travelling solicitor comes under this
law, we suppose nor any other person
who does not himself furnish Tor do

DROWNED Icy A DOG.
A Young Nan Loses HIS Own Life
while Trying SO Take the Brute's.

whtIc Frying 80 Take the Brute'S.
A st. Louis special says: The most
remarkable case Of drowning that has
ever been called to the attention Of the
coroner Of this city occurred last night
in Carondelet, southern suburb.
Joseph II. Hunlett, twenty-three years
old, tall, and athletic, was one Of the
most promising young men in
the place. He was engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Emma Mason. Emma's
mother had big dog of dubious origin
and with pronounced tendency towards
vsgrsncy which she desired to get rid
of. Hunlett offered to drown the dog,
and was told toproceed. Accompanied
by his sweetheart, he last night lod the
dog to q precipice on the river bank.
The young lady held the dog while
Hunlett secured a large piece of iron to
attach to the animals neck. The dog
was gently led TO- the precipice, and
when the brink was reached Hunlett
began 10 attach the iron.
The young woman turned her back,
and in a minute heard growl and a
scream from her lover followed by a
loud splash. She saw the dog running
off in the darkness, and it was found
that there had been struggle which
resulted in the dog pushing the man
over the brink and drowning him.
Hunlett's body was not recovered for
several hours. Miss Mason was made
almost insane by her experience.

The Riverand-Harbor Bill.

We regret that We have 10 class Mr..
RANDALL amongst the enemies OF the
riyer-and.harbor bill. It seems to be
accepted in Washington IS fact that
be is doing all he can to defeat that bill.
We admit that in pursuing this course
be cannot be suspected Of being moved
by improper motives, seeing that q large
majority Of the members of each house
of Congress are known to be in favor OF
that bill; but we cannot admit that
good motives justify bad actions. They
can only mitigate the severity Of the
judgment passed upon these.
The southern States are taxed topen-
sion Union soldiers in the sum Of about
twenty-five millions of dollars annu-
ally, this being the proportion paid by
those States Of the eighty-fye millions
of dollars expended every year in pen
sions to those soldiers. This tax would
not ipjure the South seriously if the
money were paid to men living here.
But it is q sure method Of impoverish-
ing any country to collect large sums Of
money therein to be disbursed in Other
countries. Two hundred millions OF
dollars is not as large sum for the
whole United States to pay as twenty
five millions of dollars is for the South.
What would Mr.. RANDALL say if it
were proposed to collect annually in
this country two hundred millions Of
dollars to be paid out to persons re.
siding in England and spending all their
income there? We know what he
would say if he should act upon the
principle at the bottom Of the amend
mint which he offered to the fortifcs-
ton appropriation bill on Monday last,
and which amendment was adopted by
unanimous consent. That amendment
requires all Of the cannon, projectilss,
&C.. purchased under that bill to be of
American manufacture. In other
words, Mr.. RANDALL thinks money
ought not to be collected in the United
States to be expended in England. To
do so would be to impoverish to that
extent our own country.
The river-and-hsrbor bill appropri-
ates millions of dollars to the improve
ment Of southern rivers and harbors.
Our own James has one hundred or one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
that bill. We ask for that little stream
of wealth to be allowed to flow over
our section, to give us some share in
the bounty Of the Government--to let
as know the Government not by its
burthens only. The BLAIR bill is an:
other bill which appropriates to the
South much more than it takes from
US; but this bill also has been unable
to get through tho House of Repre-
sentatives.
We commend these considerations to
the attention Of President CLEVELAND.
He is another northern Democrat Of
prominence who turns with cold looks
to rivsr-and- harbor bills. Can he not
exercise clemency towards the South
in this matter? Can he not understand
that the policy we are combating is
calculated to make an Ireland of the
South THAT is, q section ruined by
peculiar form of absenteeism ~?

ct the rate Of the Ford case, Virginia

We think We can quiet the fears of
our Petersburg contemporary. Tho
Second Auditor published some time
ego in official statement Of the number
81 taxpayers in Virginia who pay over
e2Q0 Of taxes annually. The whole
number is $50. Now, We think il may
be safely assumed that men who pay
less than s200 year will not 30 to Law
in order to be allowed to use coupons
in paying SO much of the tax as can
lawfully be paid in coupons. In a

$50 Of that sum in coupons. But If
he could pay al50 he would save only
800 ~ coupons now sell. and OF this
900 his lawyer would get nearly every
dollar.
But, lot us suppose that the whole
$50 should follow Mr.. DULANEY's ex-
ample and recover each say $500, the
Ststs would lose only sl7s,000, and
this for not more than year or two,

cit is not for the aliens to paint

Men to the manner born, genius nour

people have been slow in many things.
They have waited for strangers to come
and build their railways and dig their
mines. This was unavoidable, since
we must yield to superior material
force--to the prepOnderating avoirdu-

must do our own work. We cannot,
if we would, delegate it to others. But
the South is in fashion now. The tide
of development is towards it. Art and

Prosperity is on the way, and southern
genius has arisen, girded itself, and
gone forth to meet fortune.'
And the southern people should see

This locomotive is expected to make
an average speed Of from seventy-two
to seventy eight miles per hour. The
coaches are peculiar in that they are
carried inside iron Orders, while the
wheels run under the centre Of the
longitudinal seats. Two axles, sixteen
feet apart, support, through elliptic
springs mounted upon the oil-boxes,
these longitudinal Orders, which have
ends curved toward the ground.
Each girder carries three other elliptic
springs, from which is suspended,
by means of iron rods, the lower
frame on which the body of the car is
supported. The coach is separated
into two stories, the lower Of which is
made in three pendent sections, with
doors, which may be used as baggage
rooms, etc. Above is a single COM
partment with central paSsage-way,
reached by stairways at each end Of the
coach, and communicating with the
other portions of the train by hinged
platforms. The result of the trial Of
this new locomotive will be watched
with great interest.
