MANCHESTER BUREAU RICHMOND TINES.

Chesterfield County court cohFenou yes
terday and busy session is docketed. Judge
William I. Clopton was on the bench and as
posed of considerable amount of civil bust
ness The grand jury found true bill asainat
the three rascaly small boys who made an
attempt few weeks ago 10 wreck train on
the Richmond and Petersburg railroad.
This case will hardly come up before the next
term Of the court. true bill was not found
against Joe Callenberger. who has been in
carcerated in jail in this city for several weeks
charged with heinous crime and waiting ac-
ton of the county court.
On complaint of his wife that she was afraid
he would kill her Charles f.. Bowen was put
under bond for his good behavior for twelve
months in the sum of $500. Failing to give
tho security he was remanded 10 Jail. Fearing
that he would give the officers trouble he was
placed in irons and brought 10 this city
for safe keeping. True bills were
found against Joshua Baugh and John
Bauoh. two negroes. for assault and battery.
Two indictments were found against inc
Manchester Railway and improvement Com
pany the Mayo's bridge line for oOstructi1g
the public highway. The trouble existing Is
the bad condition this company left its tracks
on upper Hull street. This paper Iofe-
shadowed this several weeks ago. 1t y
probable that the most Of these cases VIII
come up for trial at the present term OF the
court.
While all this court business was being en-
acted within and unfortunates were falling
victims 10 the sage wisdom Of their grand
jury peers q lively time of an entirely dlfer-
ent character was transplring under the
COURTYARD trees. The politicians were there,
Democratic and Republican full forces OF
each. and they commlnged and wlre-pulied
in truly brotherly-love style. There was no Dis
play of oratorical ability by the Democratic
party but a good deal Of quiet and effective
work was done. The Democrats OF tho
county seem to be quite certain Of victory.
The Republicans pow-wowed considerably
and the orators among their ranks made
speeches and finally wound up by indorsing
NJ. r. Lloyd for tho senate and Jere-
mah Nunnally for the House. These are
supposed TO be Independent candidates
FOR the suifrages of the people, but their
record as thoroughbred Republicans II too
well established for any such game 10 work
with the good people of this community.
They took no action relative 10 POwhatan. but
left that solid old Democratic county TO take
its course.
