Cheerful-Win Down Malone.
NATURAL BRIDGE, August 81, 1889.
To the Editor Of tie Dispatch:
The Democrats III all this section are
much pleased with the nominations at
Norfolk. The great latent vote of the
party will now be brought out without
urging, and the disparity between the
number of white males over twenty-one
in Virginia and the number of white
voters who will attend the polls will be
considerably decreased.
Colonel Parsons Indignantly denied to
gentleman here Il few days ago the re-
port in the papers that ne had declared
Tor Malone. Indeed it would seem
that If the anti Mahoneites in the Re
publican party are sincere in their loud
utterancos against the "BOss and his
methods, they would embrace the occa-
sion TO help to bury him under Il 30, 600
majority, and thus end him forever and
his political fortunes as well. They
could then reOrganize the party on
more respectable ground and make an
other attempt to rise politically them
selves. Mahone's success means his
foot on their necks until death parts him
from them.
The Democrats are forming from sea
to mountain and will be prepared to re-
sist Quay and his fiat fried from the
manufacturers of tie NORTH" Dudley
and his "blocks of fve," Malone and
"his Methods with or without the
"kickers' assistance. Their flags are
already flying and victory will be writ

HAMPTON, VA, August 27, 1889.
County Court commenced last week and
is still IN session. The grand jury brought
in a large number Of indictments. In
his charge to the grand jury Judge
Peek spoke Of the books OF the Commits
sioner Of the Revenue, and read the Law
in reference to the same. He further
stated that from information received he
was satisfied that the Commissioner had
failed in his duty in many respects
and that parties had failed to render
lust and proper lists Of their property
and incomes for taxation. He said that
while he had not personally examined
the books be had learned that parties
who had been acquiring property for
years and were considered comparative
" rich by their fellow-citizens never re-
turned any income to be taxed, and that
some merchants doing business on the
main streets, employing a corps OF
assistants. returned no more pur-
Shases than parties in business
on side streets, with no assistants The
grand jury-an exceptionally good one
is making thorough investigation. 1t
is said the books OF the Commissioner Of
the Revenue are in q very had condition +;
indeed. in so bad a condition that the
County Clerk refused to certify them to
the Auditor. A large number Of the
merchants of the town have been
summoned before the grand jury
to testify rs to their purchases,
&C.. and it is said that it is probable
there may he indictments in store for
some who have not made correct returns.
1t is generally thought that if oil the
property in this town and county were
properly listed the rate Of taxation would
he much lower. As 1t is now those who
make their returns cOnsclentlously bear
the burden of extra taxation imposed by
the fraudulent returns of others.

that many leading Republicans endorse

tainly breach among them in this coun-

There are no cases Of special interest

Court, found him not guilty. Akers has

Of some Republicans was mixed up with
the matter he has cut loose from them
and will work for Democratic success
this fall. The outlook IS bright and We
are satisfied.

dastardly attempt to destroy building
and It's occupants by fire was made in
this city this morning about l o'clock.
The building is situated on Liberty street
and occupied by Emma Hart and her
two children. The house is raised about
two feet from the ground. aud the tiend
had saturated the north end with coal
oil, also two raiters underneath, and then
fired it. The flames as they leaped up
the building swoke Mrs Hart, who at
first thought it was some clothing atre,
but in raising the window discovered 1t
10 be the house. Her screams aroused
the neighbors, who succeeded in extin-
gushing them before any serious damage
was done. The fortunate discovery not
only saved the building and its occu-
pants, but probably prevented a serious
conflagration, as most of the dwellings
on that street are frame and our water
supply at present is very inadequate.

few days after his return home pros

Of danger. but Sunday night his mother
through mistake administered lin an
overdose of laudanum. The young man
at once fell asleep never 10 awake. His
mother is entirely overcome with grief,
and it is feared will lose her mind.
There is excitement IN Wilkes county
caused by q mysterious crime committed
there Sunday. John Pendergrass and
his wife, both aged about thirty years,
went to church Sunday night in a buggy.
The church is about three miles from
their residence. Yesterday they were
found about fifty yards from the road
side in the woods midway between the
church ana their home. They were tied
tightly together, and their feet and
hands were also securely bound. There
were marks of violence upon the persons
of both, as il inflicted with a cowhide.
Their horse and buggy were found in
the proper places near their house, and
nothing else had been molested IN the
least. Pendergrass and his wife both re-
fuse to say anything in regard to the
affair.
