PETERSBURG, April q, 1883.
The delegates to the Republican State
Convention elected in this city last
night are solid for Sherman. II was
not expected that it would be otherwise.
1t was charged on the floor Of the city
convention that the delegates elected
were decided upon at a conference held
at the residence OF the State chairman.
But it should be said in this connection
that the city convention held last
night was not composed wholly
Of men in favor Of Mahone's policy
and plan Of organization. Indeed, az
shown by the vote, the opponents OF this
plan were in but a small minority.
Blaine has his friends here as well as
Sherman, and they think they are en-
titled to be heard and represented.
They intend to make themselves heard,
il is said, in a public meeting called for
that purpose. John NJ. Lsngston, who
was nominated for n delegate to the
State Convention, was beaten by Gene
raj Mahone's followers.
At a meeting Of the Republicans OF
Chesterfield county held yesterday dele
gates favorable to Sherman were elected
TO the Republican State Convention.
And here, too, it is claimed, the ticket
was already selected for the meeting and
forced through.
The Democrats of Fourth Ward had n
splendid meeting last night. Addresses
were delivered by Hon. Charles +. Col
lier, the candidate for mayor; Robert
Gillian, ESQ.,, candidate for clerk, and
other nominees for city offices.
A large Democratic mass-meeting was
held in Third Ward tonight, which was
addressed by the same speakers. Enthu-
sissm Is daily increasing, and the Demo
Gratis are making a vigorous and asgres-
sive canvass, which will be felt at the
polls.
The third trial of Walter Jones (the
negro for indecent assault was continued
to-day in the Hastings Court, and will
probably not be concluded for several
days.
Lazerus Moore, of Ettrick, who is
charged with feloniously cutting Officer
George Edwards and Mr.. George G.
Gary, on Sunday morning, gave bail in
the sum Of $1,000 last night to appear
for trial at the July term of the Hastings
Court.

Republicans Elect Delegates TO Pc
tersburg-A Fire.

Correspondence to the Richmond Dispatch.l
April, q, 1883.
The Republicans held a meeting yes
terday and elected delegates TO Their
Petersburg Convention. From James
City county Sheriff Richardson. DR.. Il.
A. Wise and a negro named Watkins
will attend from this town Rev. and
Treasurer John VI. Dawson and City
Sergeant T. NJ. Ware are alternates. At
the meeting DR.. Wise, the brother OF
John $. Wise, did most Of the talking
and in his remarks said that he had no
doubt that the approaching convention
of his party would be a very turbulent
and boisterous one, but that all differ
ences would be settled and that the
party would gam and be stronger than
ever that General Malone would be re-
elected chairman of the State Commit
tee that he was the only man they had
who had the means, time, and capacity
to FL the Office, and that John s. Wise
would vote for him. The Democrats
came in for the usual amount of abuse
from DR.. Dick.
Resolutions we're passed commendstory
both Of Captain John S. Wise and
General Malone, and endorsing the lat
ter for reelection to the Craftsmanship
of the State Committee. James W.
Edloe, a local politician, made few re-
marks especially directed to the scope
and meaning of the resolutions adopted
by the meeting, and called upon tho
Rev. John NJ. Dawson for some remarks
touching the resolutions, and his
Interpretation Of the same, whereupOn
Dawson took the floor and commenced
to speak, but was interrupted by Dr.
Wise, who, in his usual style, occupied
the floor for half an hour or so. At the
conclusion Of Wise's remarks Dawson
arose and said he understood the mean
ing Of the unit rule, and If it was expect
ed Of him to go for that in the conyen-
ton they had selected the wrong man
for their delegate.
The Democratic committee has selected
May 18th as the time to elect their dele
gates to the Norfolk Convention. A
number of gentlemen from this section
will attend the convention as lookers-on.
About half-past II last night an alarm
of fire was given which brought out
almost the entire population Of the West
End. The warehouse corner Henry and
Gloucester streets, occupied by John h.
Seymour was discovered to be on fire,
caused by a detective fue. Mr.. Sey-
mour was sleeping over the store at the
time and was awakened by the smoke
almost suffocating him. He leaped from
the second-story window and gave the
alarm. He sustained a serious sprain of
the arm in his fall. But for the timely
arrival of the fire department the build
ing and stock would have been a total
loss. There was no insurance on either.
Ten dollars will cover the damage to
stock and building. w.

Tho blair Educational Bill,
o the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
We have silently watched the columns
of your valuable paper, scrutinizing the
acts and doings Of our national legisla-
tors. expecting to see that Congress had
taken some action on the Blair educa-
tional bill. but so far IN vain. Your cor
respondent has always, since his age
would permit. been Democrat, and
now is but there are some things that
to me seem little strange. In our con-
ventions, both State and national, we as
a party have always declared in favor of
the Blair bill or something better. and
much of the delay in passing the bill was
charged 10 the Senate. Now that the
Senate has passed the aforesaid bill, and
we having a majority in Congress, if the
Blair bill is neglected whom can we
charge the negligence to The country
demands some action on the said bill, and
the time is here for bold and aggressive
action. The politician may deem it
policy to withhold action until after the
nominating convention, but people are
getting weary of having the filibustering
going on and never reaching a result
There is no excuse for not passing the
Blair educational bill. and it will he
charged to the Democrats if not passed.
Then how can we come before the pub
lie with resolution declaring in favor Of
the Blair bill? You may canvass the
country and You will find ten men who
are interested in the Blair bill to one
who is interested in a tariff bill in any
form. | have been q little surprised
that none OF our public-spirited men
have raised the cudgel in advocacy of
the bill. Education Is the basis IN any
government that is successfully admins
tered, and when you see any intelligent
man advocate the unconstitutional dodge
it is because he IS not in favor of the bill.
/ believe, with the present lights before
the people, ii some attention is not paid
to the demands Of the people il will cost
us the State this fall, and further, there's
nothing that will break the solidity Of the
South rs quick y as the failure to pass the
Blair bill. This will be rather local in
its action, but all men at all times be-
lieye in fidelity to their trust, and when
the representatives of the people declare
tutMeNlNGE III lGNOA VI NCA TAIN itEl0ld-
ton, and are endorsed by the people,
that is sufficient evidence of the wish of
the people. Now that our Democratic
representatives in Congress are pledged
to the Blair bill, there is but one thing
to do, and do it at once. The country
demands legislation pro bono pubticO,
and not for policy honest work will
always be endorsed by honest people.
We are satisfied Mr.. Cleveland will have
a complete walk-oyer; it matters not
who is the nominee, if our representa-
tives in Congress do not defeat him by
trying to do nothing. / hope that yet
some action may be taken in this i'm
portant matter, so that if not passed it
can be properly charged. q. L. X.

probably be found that she has not at
