Comte de Paris.

The Count of Paris and his travelling
companions will be here in a few days.
Whom he was with MCCLELLAN and fir
Jous PORTER in 1862 he could not get INTO
Richmond. The gates were shut IN BIS
face. Now they will open to him.
True, he fought against us, but he was
brave and chivalric opponent. and we
came ont of the Seven Days battles so VIC
toriously that we have no pangs connected
with them. save, alas, the fruitless death
of our brave fellows, who day after DAY
pressed the enemy from the front OF our
CITY TO the vicinity of Harrison's LANDING,
and who fell upon every road and neid
from Mechanicsville to Malvern Hill.
The Count and bis brother and his uncle,
the Prince De JoISvrLE. were among the
witnesses of the valor of the Confederates
in that campaign, and we shall trust 70
that old mountaineering to make US good
friends now.
The Count is the grandson OF LOUIS
PHILIPPE. His family have spent most Oh
their time in exile They lived out the
Second Empire and the Commune IN the
vain hone of Restoration. 1t may be now
that they will survive the republic pnI

II is said that the French Government
looks with ni-concealed anger upon the

the United States; but our people do moi
care very much about that The North has
received him as Union veteran; we VII
greet him as a fine French gentleman
with whom we have crossed swords.
He comes to revisit our battle-helds, &c

Leader LangstOn.

The ex-professor who is now tho recog-
nized leader of the Republican party IN
Virginia il making u grandiloquent can
vass through portions of his district.
Always noted for pomposity and con-
ceit, leading characteristics OF the negro
race, he rs now quite excelling himself IN
these exhibitions. 1t Is not possible for
ma 10 concede that he is the orator that
PATRICK HENRY was; nor even that no Is
1.-THE smartest man in the United States"
but that he is the leader of his party IN the
Old Dominion there is no one to dispute.
He claims TO have the support OF the
HARmsoS Administration. We do not
doubt it. He has the endorsement OF the
House OF Representatives, and he has
been nominated 10y every prayer-meeting
all over the district General MALONE an
nounees through trusted friend that he
is out Of politics and so to-day LANosToS
stands out as the leader able TO control
more Republican votes in Virginia than
any other man. Negro votes we mean;
the white Republicans will not serve under
LANosroN. They are coming over TO the
Democrats by scores and hundreds.
1t was bad enough for them to have to
bear the reproach of political association
with men who attempted to fasten the
force bill upon the South, but when 1t
came about that LANosroS had more in
Auence at Washington than MALONE they
naturally concluded that the national Re
publican party was getting to be negro
party, and therefore no place for them.
LAxcsroS imagines that he is already as
good as elected. but he may be mistaken.
The census returns show that thousands
of negroes have removed from his dis
trict. Many of these have gone TO Arkan-
sas. Texas, and Missouri. Many Others
have found homes in the North and west,
and when he comes TO muster his men al
the November election he will have by no
means the walk lover he expects.
We take il that he will get very few white
votes. The white Republicans VIII either

REJUvENATED GAINESVILLE.
Business Push Brightens the Prospect
Big Alliance Sales of the Weed.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
GAINESVILLE, Va, October 6, 1890.

GAINESVILLE, Va, October 6, 1890.
This is one OF the oldest towns of the
South Side, but from present appearances
its population seems TO have discovered
the fountain of youth, and thoroughly re-
iuvenated life and activity prevail on every
side. Business push brightens the present
in striking contrast with the dulness Of a
few years ago.. :,
Last week the new alliance warehouse
opened and astonished the natives with its
heavy receipts of desirable tobacco. From
every direction the tolling farmers came
with big loads of the golden weed. The
section of country producing flne tobacco
of every variety tributary to GAINESVILLE
market is the best in the state. A circle
circumscribed by radius of twenty miles
or more embraces character OF soil pecu-
liarly adapted TO the production Of ship
Ming. bright. sun-cured, and fancy tobacco.
and this market is the centre OF this splen-
did section of country.
FARMERS HAPPY.
The agriculturalists have done well this
wear, Their crops are abundant aud the
dependency of a few years ago Is now SUI
perceded by hope and encouragement.
Hence the business here is not languishing,
but prospering. Good crops and high
prices for produce make wonderful
change in the people. When everything
is low and poverty prevails they abuse one
another, have neighborhood feuds and dis
cuss liauor-license and religious creeds.
Now oil seem to be in good humor and
vie with each other TO excel in still further
improvement and development. Surely it

many evils.

Bosros. Mass, October 4.-The feature
