lCorrefpondence OF the hlcnmonu DsphVonl
PETERSBURG, Sept. l6, 1885.
The publication Of Colonel James ID.
Brsdy's letter relative to his treatment
bv General Malone has given rise to
much comment here to-day. Whatever
may be alleged against Colonel Brady
as q politician, no one will be found to
accuse him Of untruth, and 1t is therefore
believed that be has made straight
forward, honest statement OF wnat
occurred in the conference be-
tween himself and General Malone.
Indeed, the facts therein stated were
told by Colonel Brady to some Of his
friends immediately after the confer
ence. and it is said they we're then
written out by him. The friends OF
General Malone consider that in making
publication of them Colonel Brady has
been guilty Of a violation Of . CONT
dence which he should have held IS
sacred. 1t is not improbable that SEN
ator Malone will write q reply to Col
onel Brady's letter. giving q statement
from his point Of view.
From all that has trsnspired in this
congressional district during the past
few weeks it may be gathered that the
Republican party is anything but a
happy family, and that the discord and
ouarrels that have come to the surface
betoken rupture that it will not be easy
to heal. The opposition to Dir. Gaines
among the respectable and influential
element Of the party will hardly cease,
though be is recognized by the Execu-
tive Committee as the duly-nominated
candidate, and Colonel Brady's friends
will be hard to reconcile after the treat
ment he declares he has received at the
hands of the leader of the party. The
progress of the campaign and the de-
velopment of events are awaited with
interest.
SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Suit has been entered in the Circuit
Court of Nottoway county by Mr..
BENJAMIN Gouldipg for 10000 dam
ages against the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company for injuries received
by the recent collision Of freight-trains
near Blackstone.
VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS.
The Upper-Appomattox Company.
comprising some of our most active and
energetic citizens, has during the past
year or two expended a large amount
of money in improving that property.
1t has opened up the waterway to Stony
Point, Cumberland county, a distance
Of eighty miles put a number Of new
boats on the line for business; built
warehouse in this city at cost
of $1,000; erected corn-mill
at the basin al a cost Of $4,000 a
four.mill near by costing $4,000
spent $4,000 in improving a cotton
factory, and will shortly build large
brick mill on the site Of the old City
Mills, which was destroyed by fire
some months ago. This is the kind Of
enterprise and investment Of capital
that will do our city good.
MISCELLANEOUS NEWS NOTES.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company is building substantial stone
