Speaking OF the recent flibustering
in the House of Representatives the
Lynchburg AdUaRce says:
"It is rather poor compliment, we
think, to the three Democratic members
of our delegation 10 say that they voted
solid with the seven Republican mem
bers. When did the Republicans OF
this State ever vote on the right side OF
any question? We think our three
Democratic members got into the wrong
box that time.
Mr.. O'FERRALL was at Harrisonburg
last Monday, and received regular ova-
ton at the hands OF his Rockingham
constituents. IL instead of voting to
return TO Virginia the five hundred thou
sand dollars her citizens paid as direct
tax from 1861 to 1865, he had so voted
as TO make her liable TO a call for two or
three hundred thousand more, he would
have sealed his fate as a public man.
Would the Democrats nominate for
Governor, O'FERRALL or aty other man
that 30 voted?
he commits a great blunder who al
lows his opponents to make issues for
him. General LEE, Mr.. O'FERRALL,
DIR. WISE, and Dir. HOPKINS ali did right
to vote with their Republican colleagues
on the direct-tax bill.

existing between the natives and the Inn
migrants that have already settled in the
South. However, the South does
not want and viii never encourage
the coming within her borders
of the class of immigrants who have ter
rorized Chicago and other western cities
The very fact that she stands four-square
on republican government and is free
from false ideas OF society renders the
South very unhealthy " for such. This
is warning that immigration agents and
immigration conventions would as well
heed in the beginning.

All the preliminary arrangements
having been completed, the formal trans
fer Of the property-the building and
land on which it stAnds-of the Lutheran
church will now be made to the Young
Mems Christian Association. The lot is
at tho corner Of Main and Water streets,
within the uptown business limit. The
lot is 81 feet inches front on Main and
90 deep on Water street. The plan OF
the building will give two elegant store
rooms on Main street, as wei AS the en-
frances to the association rooms.

Parsons-The Tribune-Mahone


The New York Tribune says that in
his famous secret circular against BLAINE,
General MALONE charged that certain
letter from Virginia which had appeared
in the Tribune, and which he affected to
regard as aimed at himself with deadly
intent, was really written in New York
city, at the Fifth-Avenue Hotel, at Mr..
BLAINE's instigstion. and by II. 9. PAR
SONS, of Virginia. The Tribune denied
the truth OF MAHoSE's statement. MA
HONE repeated it-as follows:
al undertake to prove before any
tribunal or umpire that all these ale
cations are true. even including that
which charges the authorship OF GER
tain letter which appeared In the New
York Tribune to the inspiration OF q
presidential sspirant, and to the pen OF
one of his henchmen.
Whereupon the Tribune comments as
follows:
"But General Malone is OF the
opinion that lie well stuck to IS as good
as the truth, and in a recent answer to
Captain John $. Wise he says, speaking
of the secret circular.
Here follows MAHoNE's language as
quoted above. The Tribune then kills
the little General with the following
NATURAL BRIDGE, VA, April 9, 1883.
'Hon. William Malone
Dear General,-I deny both the in
spiration and the authorship of the letter
referred to in your recent public address.
accept your challenge. l name bon.
John Sherman as the umpire and de-
mand an early hearing ana your eyi-
dence. Yours respectfully,
"H. &. PARSONS"
Finally, the Tribune says:
This makes an issue which General
Malone must meet or be the laughing
stock of the politicians. He cannot
complain of the umpire, for he is Gene
raj Mahone's own candidate for the pre-
sidency. SO far as we know, the Gene
raj has lain low since receiving this let
ter. We publish it in the hope Of get
ting him to show himself. Come, Gene
raj, where are you?"

WHEAT GOES WAY UP.
The Result Of n Corner by II. p
llulclllnanD

Ahc u
l1utchinson.
Chicago dispatch: The Daily News
will say of the remarkable course pur-
sued by September wheat to-day that it
is the outcome of corner in the option
by b. p. Hutchinson, who has been
buying all of the September wheat
offered lately, that, rs only three days
remained for the shorts TO settle their
trades in, they went into the pit this
morning and began to bid against each
other. with the result that the price
mounted rapidly; that when it reached
$1.25 Hutchinson sent the shorts word
that he had little wheat to SELL that
they flocked to his office, where he dis
posed of 800, 900 bushels Mt 1875 in
very short time; that he then, after tell
ing those of the shorts who were still
waiting that wheat would go to 200
within week, he went away to his club,
leaving instructions with his brokers TO
sell the shorts all the wheat they wanted
ut 1876 or buy all they would sell Mt l24.
There is a suspicion that Hutchinson
also has most of the December wheat,
and in consequence that option went up
to 100.
The excitement after adjournment
was even greater than that which pre-
vailed during the session of the board.
Rumors about what "Old Hutch" would
do were too numerous to truce TO author
ity. The price was run up with Won
derful rapidity, way above the days
closing price on the board, by curbstone
dealers. The advance was marked by
almost street bedlam. The price
reached $l.30 for September before the
sidewalk trading ceased, and one Of the
deals is reported at 1871

SAME OLD SWiNDLE.


John X. Lennox, an aged and respected
citizen of Allegheny. was swindled out
Of $4,000 by two bunco men. The old
gentleman was entced into house and
induced to play game in which it was
alleged he had won $4,000. To get this
it would be necessary to produce like
amount. The victim fell into the trap at
once and went TO the Third National
bank where he drew out the money. Re-
turning he placed it on the table. lie
then took another chance and was inform.
ed that lie had lost 500. 900. This dazed
him for n moment, but he quickly recov-
cred. and drawing a revolver demanded
his money. One of the swindlers knock
ed the pistol out of his hand and the two
ran out, locking the door after them. By
the time LennoX had succeeded in forcing
the door open both men had disappeared
The police were notified, but so far they
have not been apprehended. Lennox is
70 years of age and quite wealthy. This
is the second time within six months that
the bunco game has been successfully
worked in this city for large amounts
