Withstand the Rerinnings.

We have heretofore called attention to
the danger OF converting State officers
into Federal officers, and, whilst not
questioning its constitutionality, to the
far-reaching effects of Judge HUGWs's
decision OF last week in regard to the
right of the Federal supervisors OF cleo
tons to copy the State registration
books. Similar questions have arisen IN
Ohio and Maryland. In Maryland the
Plug-Ugly BoND, who was once city
iudge in Baltimore, but who was trans
ferred from the city bench TO the bench
of the Circuit Court of the United States,
has rendered some decisions which have
called for the comments not compli-
mentary to BOND as o man nor as a judi
cial officer.
The Baltimore Sun of Saturday has
convincing criticism of Judge BoND's So
called points. That is q conservative
paper, and when such paper says that
if under Judge BONDS decision Federal
supervisor claims the right to interfere
in any way with the secrecy OF the bal
lot, his interference should not be allow
ed no matter under whose instruction,
we may be sure that BoND has a cause
which will not bear the scrutiny Of the
Supreme Court OF the United States.
We are fortunate here in Richmond in
having as Federal Judge HUGHES in
stead Of q BoSD. Let our election OFF,
GERS stand upon their rights and Judge
HUGHES will stand by them, We conf
IDENTIFY believe. He has the courage Of
his opinions and will certainly stand by
them if he thinks they are in the right.
We reproduce from the Sun the follow
ing:
"Section 201S provides that ito the
end that each candidate for the Office OF
representative or delegate in Congress
may obtain the benefit of every vote for
him cast the supervisors of election are,
and each OF them is, required to per-
sonally scrutiniZe, count, and canvass
each ballot in their election district or
voting precinct cast, t0hateUer may be
the endorsement on the ballot or in
aOhdtcUer Dor it may hare been placed
or be found. Here the right Of
scrutiny is distinctly and specifically
confined to ballots that have been ac-
tuany cast and which have been
placed or are found In the ballot
boxes. Section 2Ol9 authorizes the
supervisors to assume such position be-
fore or behind the ballot boxes as will
best enable them to see the person offer
ing to vote and 'oest conduce to their
scrutlnizing the manner ia Which the
voting is being conducted, and at the
closing OF the poll for the reception Of
votes they are further authorized and
required to take such position as will
best enable them to perform the duties
imposed upon them by the preceding
sections
There is not one word or syllable in
tho law which will justify any Federal
supervisor in taking ballot from the
hand Of any voter or election Judge
while the voting is going on, or in ex-
aiming or scrutinizing any ballot until
| it has besn actually cast and the polls are
closed. and tho work OF csnvassing and
counting the votes has begun. Then,
and not until then. the statute author
izes the Supervisor "to personally scru-
! tinise. eosnk end canvass each ballot

cities, one at Shaccoes, 10 be called
Richmond, and the other at the point OF
Appomattox, to DO called Petersburg.
These Major Mayo offered to lay out in
lots without fee or reward. The truth
OF it is, these two places being the upper
most landing OF James and Appomattox
rivers, arc naturally intended for marts
where the traffic OF the outer inhabitants
must centre. Thus we did not build
castles only, but cities in tine air.

tbe country thinks OF what even Mr..
Blaine has described as the worst mea-
enre which ever came to the Senate of
the United States from the House of
Representatives.
Ii will say whether the country is salts
fed with that condition Of things in
which the Speaker. ignoring every
sweet aud holy example, and riding
black. girdled over the ruins OF repre-
sentative government. shall substitute
his own nasal clownish command for the
imperial edict of the people.
IL will consider the continuance OF
your right under the Constitution Of the
fathers to select your own representa-
tiyes in your own interests instead OF
having them chosen for you by an OPP
posing and extrinsic party in interests
which are hostile and menacing.
re will determine whether the ballot
shall be free and tho CONT shall be fair,
or II On idle crowd Of truculent negroes,
belonging in part to penitentiaries and
TO Philadelphia, shall be industriously
gathered IN the aftermath Of an election
already held and injected in sufficient
numbers to change results into your own
sacred ballot-box, as was done in the
case of George ID. Wise. God bless
him for true and faithful heart Aye,
and as was done in the case Of our
own Venable, who, TO make quo
rnm which could not otherwise be
counted often enough by even the
patent enumeration Of Reed, was
hustled out to make place for that in
finite Afro-American boss who
threatens us with the deluge Of "hogs-
heads Of blood.
1t will elect between that system which
places side by side on the penslon-hst
with the brave and gallant defenders OF
the Union of tho States the skulkers and
the cofIee-hoilers and that other system
which awards, forever if need be, tue
tender care Of grateful country 10 tho
one and to the other the scorn and lash
ing which they deserye. And thus a
termination may DO put to War-ta&es IN
time of profound peace.
IL will certainly deliver its verdict as
10 whether that right of local self-goy-
eminent which We wrested from British
dominion, for which Ireland wages a
legitimate war to-day. which IS the most
blessed hope of the lover OF liberty
everywhere, shall remain with us, or II
an intensely centralized Federal Gov
ernment, with the mailed hand and visor
down, shall, under the forms OF unac,
customed law we'll termed "force bill,
bid our institutions vanish into the grave
with our fathers and the black cloud to
darken our Heaven whenever 1t will.
1t will decide many another question
OF the gravest moment to our every IN
spiration-our every aspiration.
Remember, dear acknowledgements,
that Just so sure as God liveth there are
enough OF you in the Thrill congress

Commonwealth OF Virginia, enough Of
You in the States of the Union to deter
mine these problems under Heaven as

there was BIZ that passed the Legisla-
ture some two or three years ago pro-
hibiting hogs from running at large ?
Please let me know through the weekly

We can find no special law III regard
to hogs running at large.
An act to amend and re-enact section
2042 of the Code OF 1887 in relation to
trespass by cattle, &C., was approved
March l, 1858. This act declares if any
horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, or
goats shall enter into any grounds en-
closed by lawful fence or by rver or

thinks he can be elected. There is only
one way by which he can be elected and
that is 10y the white men staying at

We consider MITCHELL the negro can
didats in this district. He stands in
exactly the same position that LANGsroN
does in the Fourth district. 10 is a
man who has done much to estrange the
whites and blacks of this city, and We
have often felt compelled to publish
some of his violent utterances to show
what We would have to expect should his

His candidacy forces the white Re-

10 The Editor Of the Dispatch

To The Editor Of the Dispdseh:
In answering the question by corro-
spondent as 10 the origin OF the name
"Shoekoe Hill" you say it took us
name from the creek flowing around Its
base. In the Westover manuscripts 1t
is stated by Colonel Byrd that he selected
the sites at the head OF tide-water on the
Appomattox and the James for towns.
and to tho former he gave the name OF
Mattoax and to the latter Shacc0e.
These Indian names, you perceive, were
originally selected for the cities OF Pe-
tersburg and Richmond.

confusion incident to o recent move
cannot pat my hands on my copy OF the
Westover Manuscripts.

The world has had its bronze age, its
iron ace. its age of steel, and it seems
now to be passing into an age OF alumni
mum. 10 Judge from all that the Rail'ray
Age has to say Of the metal last referred
to. 1t appears that aluminium, originally
q chance product of the retort in some
laboratory has become q material con-
s.antlv demanded for use in the
arts and in manufacturing. IL Is held
almost faultless rs a metal, exciting
both iron and steel, in that it is more
mallesble and ductile than the bascr
metals and that it does not rust on ex-
posure to tho air. 1t is stronger than
steel. while weighing two thirds less than
that metal, and its production has be-
come almost cheap enough to admit OF
its use in everyday life, the cost Of
making it now being only about five
cents a pound.
It has, moreover, q remarkable affinity
for other metals. What is known as
aluminium bronx hasa breaking strength,
it isclaimed, Of 3l0,0)0pounds, as against
the eteel.breaking strength OF $1,000
pounds, and hence when We get to
building bridges OF aluminium or an al
low Of aluminium. rs we must do before
very long, we shall have structures only
third as heavy as those OF the present
day and yet much stronger.
Aluminium rails, it is said further, will
rot suffer granulation, which is the
most serious danger to which iron and
steel rails are subjected, and thus when
the new metal is applied to railway econ
omy it offers all the advantages OF be-
ing stronger, lighter, and more perfect
than other metals, while at the same
time il is indestructible from oxidation,
fire. or granulation, and when alleged
with steel or iron transfuses into these
metals ell Of the essential qualities
which are its peculiar possession.
1t thus appears that aluminium has q
great future before it in the way Of use
fitness to mankind, and when we con-
slider the fact that it never loses its
silyery whitenessor its polish the beauty
of all structures to which it may be
arplied. whether IN bridges or railway
cars, can readily be imagined. 1t seem'
to be the " coming" metal twill de-
! light the eye as we'll as the sense OF Sc
curity and OF economy.

FOR the Dlspatch.I

Il or the Di5pAtchI
Let it be remembered by every man,
woman, and child of Democratic breed
throughout the Commonwealth OF Vir-
GINA, as well as in the Third congress
sional district, that on Tuesday next will
be chosen the Fifty.second Congress OF
the United States. We invoke the wo-
men and children because they can aid
in sending reeusant fathers and brothers
to the ballot, and should so aid since the
general liberties will be in peril.
In many senses it will be one of the
most important elections which have
been held in this land. 1t will be more
than a preliminary Judgment upon the
absolutely awe-inspiring proceedings OF
the present Congress because 1t will in
clude an immense moral impulsion to
one or the other OF the two great politi-
cal parties OF the country in the direc-
ton to which it tends.
II will pass, SO far as experience has
enabled. specifically, upon the Mckinley
tariff bill, which has been craven upon
the statute-books Of the country in the
interest of those monopolies which are
concentrating the wealth Of the land in
the hands OF the few rich and grinding
the facesof the many poor, which, under
the influence OF greed that never tires
and is never satisfied, are laying their
hands, through the agency Of the Re-
publican party whose purse they fstten),
upon the ark Of the common Liberties.
1t will 10 some extent decide whether,
in the lexicon Of our country's youth,

Pc and the Allan House.

Excepting DIR. GREED i. THOMAS, OF
tbis citv we doubt if there is now living
in this State man who was schooi-
mate of EDGAR ALLAN PoE at BURKE
Academy, which more than half cen
turv ago occupied lot now covered by
e norton of FoRD's Hotel. Mr.. BURKE
was a celebrated character in his day
He was q thorough scholar and excellent
teacher, and had most valuable corps
of assistant instructors. Poe IS remem-
bered az a very bright, smart lad. When
he was entered at BURKE's he was fresh
from Stoke-Newington, England, where
for some years he had been at school at
the charge OF Mr.. ALLAN, who had
adopted him.
from BURKe's ps26) he went to the
University OF Virginia, preceding d.
Thomas there a year or two.
The Doctor was not witness OF POE 3
feat of swimming from Ludlam's wharf
TO Warwick, but in after years when the
matter was brought into question ZOE
came TO Richmond and sought certiil-
Gates from witnesses OF it. The Doctor
could not say that he was present at the
swimming, but he cheerfully wrote that

leved it as if be himself had SCENT
The late Mr.. WILLIAM HENRY HAxAIh
and MIR. JoHy T. ALLEN, who recently
died. were also contemporaries and
acquaintances of Poe. Both Of them
said. as DR., THOMAS states, that it IS
probable POE never spent an hour at one
time in the house at the southeast cor
ner of Main and Fifth streets.
When PoE lived with ML ALLAN that
gentleman resided on the east side OF
Fifth street between Marshall and Clay.
BY tho time Mr.. ALLAN became an oc-
cupant of the Main-street house PoE was
estranged from him. Mr.. JONI r. Al
Ian remembered having once seen PoE
come out of the ALLAN house. He had
been absent a long time, and then paid
only a short visit.
The Allan house has plenty Of his
torical associations without any unWar-
rantable connection of PoE's name with
it. MoRDEcA1, that charming, garralous
old chronicler Of the Richmond that ex-
listed prior 10 1850, speaks of this house
as the residence Of Mr.. DANIEL MEADE
RANDOLPH. "who was the Marshal OF
Virginia until the election of Mr.. JET
PERSON." and as afterwards the home OF
Mr.. CALICO, "the great miller, whose
name and -four are known to bakers all
over the civilized world" From Mr..
CALICO it passed to Mr.. ALLAN, com
monty called JOCK ALLAN, to whom PoE
owed his education, and after whom
came the name Of ALLAN in EDGAR All
Ian Poe.

fact that in 1851 the ball was there giver

4 Matter Of Millions. BY ANNA
KATHARINE GREEN. ROBERT BoSNRR's
Sous, publishers. New York Price
s1.50.
The author of this tale aspires to be
female WmKIE COLLINS or GABoRIAU.
Like them, she possesses skill in plot
weaving and but little ability in charac-
ter-drawing. Her first work, "The Lea
wentworth Case" was really clever and
made her considerable reputation, which
she has since scarcely sustained. "a
Matter Of Millions is very sensational,
bordering on the "penny dreadful. ="
The plot turns on the efforts Involving
wholesale murder) Of a gang OF scoun-
drels to divert an absurdly- devised legacy
OF three million dollars so as TO share in
the same. Readers who enjoy a mystery
managed through a succession OF impro-
bable events and accom- nodating COIN
cidences will like the book. The popu-
lar weekly-story-paper constituency
would sit up all night over it.
