Whatever censure may attach to Mr.. Blame
fer his alleged sectional utterances, may with
equal propriety be hurled at the V1ND1cAToR,
for the reason that it proposes to meet him
half way.-HigAlGaad Recorder.
Well; just let them hurl away. If the
theory of the Virginia Republican party
is that Blaine may charge all sort of crimes
on the South, and Sherman may announce
that this generation of Southern people
should not be permitted to share in the
conduct of the national government, and
Democrats cannot meet them half
way with the truth Of the matter, without
being charged with sectional utterances,
then the Virginia Republican party must
be hurled out of what little power is left
to them. Such a party has 10 place in a
State from which it cannot be hurled with
benefit to the reputation of the commu-
nifty.

DEATH OF WILLIAM S. GILMAN.

DEATH OF WILLIAM s. GILMAN.
On Tuesday last the remains of William
S. Gilman, for quarter Of century con-
nected with the press aud with the ponIics
of Virginia, were laid to rest In morn
rose Cemetery here. To those who knew
him well, he was remarkable man. AS
a writer for the press he was gifted Win
wonderful memory, a wide mastery ol
the English language. marvellous taiehc
for illustration, and profound lntul-
ton of the workings of the popular mind.
AS party man he was liberal and broad
In his views, thoroughly posted IN Inc
workings of party machinery, and capable
of any amount of physical endurance. In
public affairs he WIS q man CT the people,
and SO thoroughly with the people that no
man knew so we'll how to address himself
to the popular feeling. When Gilbert
Walker canvassed Virginia for Governor,
it was Gilman whose wise suggestions
given daily ON TIT ir tour steered him clear
of rocks on which n a, to him, novel sea
he might have been wrecked. AS an orator
Mr.. Gilman lad few equals in the State
in rousing a crowd composed OF
Virginians. There was no bitterness in
the man land his speeches were OF that sort
that made friends or the cause he was
supporting. So fully was this kindness of
purpose recognized, that even in the bitter
times of 1869. the writer has heard him
address audiences composed by an over
whelming majority Of Negro Republicans,
without a single hostile interruption.
AS a man. Col. Gilman was loyal to all
his professions; unselfsh. and in all posi-
tions ~ life incerruptible. In private life
he was warm and True in his friendships,
the life of his social circle and the friend
of any and every man. We question if he
ever bore malice to any living being, or
ever saw man to whom he would not be
a friend if that man wanted friend. ALI
through bis life had run the golden thread
to be found in doing unto others as he
would have the N do unto him, and at its
close he has left behind him world filed
only with friends.

Piled, &c d. her. want to kill her. -
Shortly after that he gave witness note
to take to Montezuma Brown. Witness
took 1t, only saw Mrs. Baker who said she
would see him about it. Carried the re
ply back and Coyner then wrote another
note with same result. Coyner then said
he'd 90 to town. Called the roll of the
hands who were working on the place nd
then rode off the farm. In the roll call
ing, witness called out the names but In
some cases prisoner only held his pencil
and wrote nothing. Witness had no doubt
about Coyner being crazy and so told Mrs.
Coyner. Witness had worked in the Asy-
lum for two years, knew lunatics, and
thought if Coyner went loose all the luna
tics ought to 60 free.

previous witness.-Knew prisoner since
he was boy. Hauled apples for him last
year. The evidence of this witness was
similar in many respects to his brothers.
Witness was with Coyner at the Fair
Ground, fixing his apples to display. It
took all day to do it when two hours would
have been enough. Coyner couldn't re-
member the names of the apples and
wrote many names on the cards and then
threw them away. His mind was all
wrong. Witness was afraid of him. Had
always thought he was crazy.
The Court here adjourned till this morn

Coyner during the examination sits with
his head buried in his hands one half the

other half. He presents the appearance
of q thoroughly demented person.

There are only twenty-five days between

The new registration ordered in Richmond
is a piece of questionable political honesty
It is easy for partiZan registrar to work the
registration SO as to favor his own side, and
that will be the case in Richmond, as no 9TH
er than partizan registrars are selected by the
Electoral Board. 1t is intended to confuse
and diminish the workingmen's vote and aid
the ringsters in their plans of defeating the
will of the people. Will the people of vir-
ginia forever remain quiet and submissive un-
der such despotic and corrupt partizan &C
tion?-V VALLEY Vugimiam.
This is the first registration under that
new law which was passed by the Demo-
cratic legislature and which was SO de-
nounced by the Republican press. The
Registration closed on Wednesday OF last
week; let us see how it turned out. Com
pared with the registration of 1676-the
previous one-the colored presumably
Republican according 10 Mr.. Baine's
theory registration showed an increase of
1877 and the white vote an increase of 500.
There are In Richmond IT'S white men
over 81 years OF age, The white registra-
ton last week only reached 500 or 1 1856
short. There are in Richmond 500 color
ed men over 81 years of age. The colored
registration was 5. 425 or 545 short. This
is the first registration and worth remem-
bering in connection with the dismal

Proceed Slowly.

Certain California Congressman late
ly waited upon Mr.. Belmont, chairman
of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, and told him that ''unless some
supplementary Chinese legislation is
reported, they were afraid that serious
results may follow" Mr.. Belmont
very properly replied that he saw no
necessity for haste, but, on the con-
trary, intended to proceed very slowly.
With China already making a just
claim for indemnity for the outrages
upon the Chinese IN the Northwest, the
prospect of a renewal of the trouble in
California is not agreeable, but con-
tinuai concessions will not help mat
tiers. The number of the Chinese in
America has been decreasing since the
res trictive measures were adopted. and
there is no probability of their incEas-
ing in view of the insecurity of the
Chinese in the Northwest. If any
further measures are to be applied to
them, they should be adopted deliber-
ately, and meanwhile, any attempt at
a repetition of the disgraceful outbreak
III inc NOTIuWeSl SuOillu NC SuniiulIill
put down.
If a Nation supposed to be Christian
and civilized does not care to protect
for their own sakeS the lives of foreign
ers living peaceably within its limits.
it should at least protect them for the
sake of the lives and property of its
own citizens residing or doing business
in the countries to which those foreign
ers belong. The United States Govern
ment can not protect its citizens in
China, and it will have to pay for
whatever ruffianism against the Chi
nese it permits.
1t is about time for the Congress of
the United States to consider this fact
carefully. The question of the exclu-
sion of Chinese immigrants is purely
economic. The question of protecting
such of them as are now in this country
is at once one of hum1aity and of self
interest. Before proceeding further
against the Chinese, Congress should
reflect how far it wishes to proceed
against American citizens in China

HE DON'T WEAKEN.

They wanted fight-they've got enough
The good Repubs are dazed;
They almost doubt if they're alive
The Senators are craZed.
They've got II square. right in the eye,
Straight from the shoulder sent
The mol" or Grover Cleveland, who
Don't weaken for cent
The great and glacial Edmunds melts
With rage to see such cheek"
And in his righteous wrath declares
The President S unique;
Correct-the man to-day S unique
Who cant be broke or bent,
Or bribed or bullied; who, in short,
Don't weaken for a cent.
At last they find they've struck man
Who doesn't mean To swerve:
A man who's got the Jackson eye,
And got the Jackson nerve;
No matter though the gale may blow
ill al tho sails be rent,

GROWING OLD.
Old age, I love you not,

Old age, love you not,
But shrink away,
From thought of meeting you
Close by some day.
Even now your breath comes chill
Upon the air,
And with its frosty touch
Silvers my hair.
Ny hands, so ready once,
More quiet grow;
My feet refuse the paths
They used to know:
And eye and ear have less
OF usual fOrce;-
All, me- ! hear one say:
"'Tis natures courses"
And speak of growing old
$50 gracefully"
That never need one feel
''They pity me.
] know il may be so;
Perhaps il would:
And yet fear-I fear
Decrepitude.
o, foolish heart, be still;
BE not afraid"
Across each human fear
Is always laid
A love divinely strong
To hold and bless,
and cover latest years
With biessedness,-
With more than human peace,
And make them prove
Beyond all other years.
That God is love"

The first cool days of autumn make wraps
of medium thickness necessary, and these are
now shown in jackets for general wear, and
mantels for more drcSsy occasions. The
new jackets are short, tight fitting, double
breasted garments with very high collar
that may be merely standing band, or else
a touchdown collar may be sewed to the
top of this high band. The fronts may be
fitted by one dart or by two, the figure OF
the wearer requires; the backs have but one
side form, and are plated fatty at the end OF
the middle forms. The sleeves are close coat
shape, and the pockets are inside, with a
band or mere slit for an opening. Two rows OF
small buttons, either plain lasting or braid but
tons, or else of wood, trim the front. The rough
bOucle cloths will be much used for these
jackets, especially for slight figures, Us they
add to the apparent size; there are also many
diagonal cloths used in very wide double lines,
or in narrower serge twills, and among the
most tasteful jackets are those with dark I'M
defined plaids, checks, cross bars or stripes.
Brown and navy blue are the colors most
seen, as these will harmonic with most of the
dresses to be worn next season. The rough
boucle cloths are very pretty when OF mixed
brown and blue, with merely n row of wool
braid half an inch wide stitched along the
edges, and either wooden or metal buttons.
The smoother jackets of either large or fine
twills may have velvet collar and cuffs, and
are either bound with braid or else stitched
along the edges.-Harper's Bazaar.

cr,v,it,op in Different Planets.

1t is th6.attraction of gravitation that
makes weight. An inhabitant of our planet
could jump to an amazing height in the moon
because its mass is so much smaller than that
Of the earth. This same effect would be pro-
duced upon all other bodies. Horses would
travel at greatly increased speed, and, if the
rider was thrown, the consequences of his fall
would be much less serious; the elephant
would become as light footed deer; a
stone from the hand of careless boy might
fall in an adjoining town before accomplish
ing its mission CT destruction; armies could
engage in battles at great distances from each
other; and nearly every kind of labor would
be ligitened, from the diminished weight of
tools and materials.
In other planets an opposite state OF affairs
would ensue. Jupiter, Saturn, or the Sun,
with their immense masses, would exert so
strong an attraction that we should scarcely
be able to move and would crawl along as
slowly as if our feet Were weighted with lead.
1t is possible, even, that the larger animals
would be crushed by their own weight; and,
If there were no other reasons, this would be
a sufficient one against the theory that the
sun and larger planets are inhabited by
beings like ourselves

The Reporter as an interviewer.

a reporter, in the course of his diurnal and
nocturnal perambulations, runs up against a
vast deal of human nature of one sort and
another. The modern fashion of publishing
a budget of miniature interviews every day,
quoting remarks that probably the speaker
had not the remotest idea were going into
print, furnishes many illustrations. Hardly
a day goes by but what somebody gets mad
ana says he never said what he is quoted as
saying He demands correction, and gen
orally gets it, But he doesn't deserve it, and
he knows it. The trouble is, not that he did not
say what was printed, but that he did
not want everybody to know that he said it.
And so he charges it all up to the reporter
and makes out that he deliberately falsified
the returns. IL the reporter was guilty of
one-half the crimes that are credited to him
he would be q most monstrous monster.-Pio-
