Srcger ms cOlor-bearer, for the court
house. The ladies cheered the procession
as it left town. aud all along the line Of
march, eighteen miles. they laylshcd
praises uuon us. and at one or two places
shove red bouquets of roses upon the
band.
At several points along the line of
march numbers of citizens joined us.
and when we reached the courthouse we
had fully 800 men in line. Tucker join
ed us a short distance from the court
house. and by this time the enthusiasm
was immerse, though the crowd was
perfectly orderly. After marching
through the place and back, the process
sion disbanded.
The three parties were represented by
speakers. The terms agreed upon were
Capt. Camm Patteson. Of Buckingham,
should represent the Democracy in an
hours speech then Mr.. Franklin, of
Appomattox, the Republican candidate
for Congress in this district; then Mr..
Iierson, the editor Of the Virginia Sun,
for the Third Party. and Hon. Harry
Tucker TO close for the Democrats
Captain Pattesons speech was very
fine. lie set forth the horrors Of the
Force bill. and impre ased upon the crowd
the fact that if Harrison is elected AMI Il

Mr.. Franklin's speech was. Of course,
intended for the coOred contingent main

of the Republican strength in this county.

Of them in the crowd and to the brass
band which accompanied the Democratic
club

stayed to hear him out, but when Mr.
Fucker got up he slipped ont of the court
house. fuckers ridicule Of the editor OF

admir9ble.'
The Third party have collapsed ap-
parently in this district, and the fight
has now narrowed down to the two old
parties. Mr.. Tucker gave Franklin some
information too, which may make him
particular in his declarations hereafter in
this canvass.
1t was Il field day for Democracy. and

Petersburg, Va, Sept 2S.-Special.-
committee consisting Of William Nj.
Flanagan OF Powhatan county chair
mani. A. w. Harris of Dinwiddie county,
and james y. Neblitt Of Sussex county,
who were appointed for the purpose Mt
the Malone Congressional convention,
held at Bmkeyile yesterday, are prepar-
ing very lengthy address to the Repub-
lican voters of the Fourth Congressional
district of Virginia. The address will
hone convention and also that of the
Brady-Langston combination convention,
end will contain violent structures upon
the conduct and practices of the men who
managed the latter convention and doml-
mated it's proceedings.
The address will vigorously defend the
course of the Malone people aud their
position in declining TO put candidate
for Congress ia the field, and kindly re-
ferring 10 the Peoples party and their
candidate in the Fourth Congressional
district-Colonel j. Thomas Goode, of
Mecklenburg county. Reference will be
made 10 his political speeches and those
of his friends and kindly notice will be
taken of their references TO Democratic
election frauds and campaign practices
in Virginia, leaving the inference pos
sble OF their wish for the Republicans OF
the district to vote for him as a means of
defeating the regular Democracy.
John NJ. LangstOn will be severely
dealt with and charged with fraudulent
deception OF his followers in withholding
from them his purpose to decline the
nomination for Congress. The scene in
his convention when this fact was dis
closed Will be fully described and pic
tured, and reference will be made to the
fact that he was IN great danger of per-
sOnal violence when he announced his
intention 10 decline the nomination and
insisted upon the right to name the nOmi-
nee of the convention. The address will
also term the convention at which Mr..
). j. Gillian, of Dinwiddie county, was
nominated for Congress from the Fourth
district as simply mass-mceting and
altogether irregular.
1t is understood that General Malone,
who left for Washington this morning,
says ne is much pleased that the Brady
LaDgston proceedings at Burkeyille has
resulted in an expose of the corruption
of his opponents. and he regards the stu
alton as one OF his decisive victories over
