last night asked two colored youths Z
show him the way to lodging-house. ID
claims that while on the way they attempt

sufficiency of evidence.
POLITICALLY DEAD.
The general opinion here is that John N
Langston, the colored Republican. cor
gresham, is politically dead. He will pre-
badly come to Petersburg and address tn
colored people about his course in Cor
gress, but that will not amount to, much
What he will do afterwards and where b
will 90 when there is no political futur
before him are questions of greater int
rest than the simple one of rendering a
account of his stewardship to his constitr
ents. Virginia presents no field of futur
political preferment TO Langston, and tn
ensuing spring elections in the counties {
the Fourth district will beyond dout
emphasize that fact.
