POLITICAL NOTES.

A@O'
The Lynchburg Viagiadaa calls attention
to the fact that of the seventy-fve Demo.
cratic storeleepers in the two Internal Rev.
enue Districts, all are still in office except
MI Jacob Bumgardner who gave up his
place few days ago, having remained at
the new Collectors request month longer
than he intended. In the Petersburg col
lection district all the storekeepers remain
in except j. G. Cologne, who had made
other engagements. The Malone pan
seems to be to keep the ''Workers' out till
after the election, so that they will be spurred
to activity by the remembrance of Mr..
Craig's ID. Sd and 4th distributions.

reported as then making some bitter per-
sonal illusions to Russell.

residence, replied that he was a citizen of
Richmond. He had not sold his property
/ there, but only transferred it to relative,
and Il have always had the mind of return
