Rev. Thomas Dixon on backbone"

Rev. Thos. Dixon, the distinguished pastor
of the 23rd Street Baptist Church of New York
city, delivered his celebrated lecture on "Back-
bone' in the Opera-house of this city on last
Friday night, and those who had the good
fortune to hear it enjoyed such an intellectual
feast as is rarely vouchsafed. He is very tall
and spare, as lean and lank as Cassius, and,
like him, thinks O nights, but not in contem-
plating evil, but good. After being introduced
by Rev. J. T. Williams, he stepped to the
front of the stage and Immediately commenc-
ed his lecture, which he delivered in a strong
voice in quite a rapid manner without notes
and for hour and half, which to his hearers
did not seem half that time, delighted his au-
dience with one of the most entertaining lee
lures ever delivered in this city. 1t was hu-
morous and instructive and portions of it very
eloquent, and the descriptions exceedingly
graphic, and his word paintings fine specimens
of rhetorical art, which pleased the fancy and
captured the imagination. He is striking
illustration of the subject of his lecture, as he
has mental and moral Backbone" and in this
respect resembles Grover Cleveland. The pur-
pose of his lecture is to show the importance
of Backbone which enables man to stand
by his convictions in any and all circum-
stances which never fails to win respect and
success-that the effort to please all is as futile
as it is foolish. To give the substance of his
lecture would be interesting, but it would be
doing wrong to the lecturer, as he will deliver
it many more times and it should be wholly
new to his hearers. He did not have as large
an audience as he shonld have had, but he
will have larger one if he will favorus again
with lecture, as those who heard him are very
DESTROYS he would. 1t is difficult to get large
audience in this city to ''pay-lecture," but
we can promise Mr.. Dixon that he will have
one if he will consent to deliver another lee
turp here

Meeting of the Farmers Club.
FIsHERsvILLE, VA, Oct. LIST, 1S9.

FIsHERsvILLE, VA, Oct LIST, 1872.
The Club was called to order by DR.. Hanger,
President and the following members found
present: 2. S. Cecil, DR.. Hildebrand, w. A.
Freed, J. D. Coiner, B. f. Hildebrand, Samuel
Life, H. F. Gilkerson, A. H. McCue, G. w. G..
Karnes, David Coiner, T. C. Dickerson, Willard
A. Coiner, J. r. Kemper, NJ. A. Conner, ST., J..
H. Mcclure and A. A. Jones.
Minutes of last meeting were read and
adopted. Mr. McCue, of the buying Commit
tee, reported that they had sent to the State
Chemist, samples of the Acid Phosphate and
Raw Bone for analysis, and that the Acid
Phosphate analysed 1874 per cent, and the
Bone, q u per cent.sMr .McCue also read5a
letter from the State Chemist in explanation
of the analysis sent. Mr.. Cohren, of whom
the fertilizer was purchased was present, and
stated that he knew there must be some mis-
take in the report sent the Club, as the same
Acid Phosphate was sold to members of the
Alliance, and submitted the analysis of a sam
pie sent by Hon. G. w. Koiner, which gave
nearly as large per cent as guaranteed. An
other analysis was also submitted from DR..
Gascoyne, formerly State Chemist of Virgin
ia, showing larger per cent on the Bone than
was claimed for it. Mr.. Gilkerson moved
that we give Messrs. Cohren, CARRIER & Co.
| ample opportunity to thoroughly test the
goods sold the Club, which motion was carried.
Mr. Coiner wanted to know if the Acid Phos-
phate sold the Club was the same as that sold
the Alliance? Mr.. Cohren stated that it was
the same goods. Mr.. Life said it was we'll
known fact, that where large quantities of
fertilizers were put in bulk, that it was almost
impossible to get it to run all exactly the same
| and that Mr.. Cohren should have every op-
portunity to have this fertilizer thoroughly
tested, both by the State Chemist, and by any
other tests he may see proper to use. Mr.. Nc
Cue stated that he thought we should settle
for the fertilizers as per the State Chemist
report, and make further settlements when
this matter was finally adjusted, which was
done. The farmers should not underrate this
matter in having all fertilizers thoroughly
tested by analysis, as that is the only means
by which they can determine whether they
are getting value for their money or not. The
subject of the cost of producing wheat and
corn had to be postponed for lack of time to
discuss it. This is also an important matter
and this Club will be heard from on the sub
ject at some future meeting The Club then
adjourned, to meet the 3rd Saturday in Octo-
Der, at which time full meeting is desired.

Afraid of the Truth,

At the Third party meeting in Ra-
leigh, N. c., Mr.. Thad. E. Horton, of
the staff of the Atlanta Journal, who
procured the Pulaski, Tenn, affidavits,
was refused admission to the speakers
stand by Chairman Wilson, of the
Third party State Committee. Mr..
Horton is a gallant Southern gentle
man, and has followed the cheap bully
Weaver around in order to show the
people of the South the real nature of
the fraud who has come among them
asking for their suffrages. Mr.. Horton
has affidavits which prove incontesti-
bly, that Weaver, when Federal gen
eral, tyrannized over, insulted and
wronged the people of Pulaski. The
fact that the Third party manager in
Raleigh was afraid OF these exhibits is
his confession of their truth.-Rich-
nOnd State.

The Trial of Geo. W. sprouse.

The trial of Geo. w. Sprouse, charged with
felonious assault on little girl, which has
occupied number of days of the County
Court, was not concluded till yesterday. The
evidence was completed on Monday, after
which it was argued by counsel in the follow
ing order
Chas. W. Lyle opened, with his first speech
at the bar, for the prosecution; G. G.. Shep-
herd another young lawyer for the defense;
r. S. Ker for the prosecution; Col J. II. Gro
sier and W. E. Craig for the defense, after
which the Court adjourned to yesterday, Tues
day morning, when the argument was con-
cluded by Meade F. White Commonwealth
Attorney for the prosecution.
About II O'Clock the jury retired to consid-
er of their verdict, and not agreeing by II o.
clock the Court took recess till half past 2
o'clock. In the afternoon the jury rendered
their verdict of guilty ON the Charge of having
attempted to commit rape, and fixed his term
in the penitentiary at years. He was acquit-
ted of having committed that crime, but con-
victed on the charge of attempting its COM
mission.
His counsel made motion for new trial,
the argument OF which, in con sequence of the
absence of w. L. Craig will net be argued till
next Monday

The ColOred Voter and the Force Bill.

The National Protective Association
of Colorad Men at Indianapolis last
week passed resolutions in condemna-
ton of the force bill This is a graft
flying Indication of sound political
Judgment on the part of the colored
voters. The passage of that infamous
measure would work untold mischief
to every class of citizens, but it is be-
yond doubt that it would fall with
crushing weight on the aspirations of
Afro-Americans, because it would
arouse race antagOnism to the detri-
ment of the weaker race.
1t is the interest of all classes that
friendly relations should be maintain
ed between the races and that friction
should be avoided but the inevitable
effect of the force bill would be to ere
ate or intensity race antipathies. If,
therefore, the white men of the South
deprecate the passage of the force bill
as iniInical to the general peace and
prosperity of this section, much more
ought colOred men to oppose it us plac-
ing needless barrier in their pathway
and retarding the progress of their race
towards higher development.
1t would be well if the colored voters
of Virginia would follow the example
of their indianapolis brethren aud re-
pudiate, not only the force bill, but its
advocates and promoters. We shall
not be surprised to find thousands of
our best eolored citizens influenced by
these considerations and by an enlight-
ened regard for their own interest,
casting their votes in November for
the Democratic ticket.-LypchbUrg

Judge Hare's Declinaticn.

Judge Hare, of Oregon, was nomi
mated by the Republican Convention
of the State us one of the Presidential
electors-at-large, but has declined to
accept the nomination for reasons
which he states as follows:
You (the Republican party have
passed high tariff laws as you claim
for the protection of labor; yet within
the last six months | have seen more
than $50 manufacturing establishments
reduce the price of labor of their work
ingmen.
"You have expended $10O,OOO,0O0 of
surplus left by Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration, and now there are $40, 900, 900
or more of deficiency staring us in the
face, which the people must pay.
The whole care Ct the Republican
party seems to be to legislate in favor
of rich corporations at the expense of
the laboring poor of the country.
Permit me to decline the nomina-
ton and to extend challenge to any
and all Republicans in the State to re-
flute these statements.
I'm the future l shall act in opposi-
ton to the principles l have supported
for the last few years"
This is as severe an arraignment of
the Republican party and the policy it
sustains as was ever made in the same
space, and coming from Republican
of such prominence as Judge Hare it
cannot but make-a deep impression.

FOraker'S Saw.

1t will be remembered that Hon.
Adlai Stevenson in his speech here
said that it was mistake to say that
the Force bill was not an issue. He
gave his testimony that it was very
live issue among the Republicans in
Illinois. Now we have corroborative
testimony from Ohio The Cincinnati
Posts correspondent writes as follows:
81 told Governor Foraker that his
fellow statesmen did not regard the
demand for force bill as an issue in
this campaign.
'''They don'tr he said quickly.
We'll, it is an.issue, and they will think
it is when they hear from me this
week."
Once put the Republican party in
power the Force bill would soon be
heard from. And yet there are people
who are SO blind that they are willing
to sacrifice the South to crafty their
personal petty ambition or spite. For
aker expects to fire the Republican
heart of Ohio by promising the Force
bill. 1t will come with Republican
pc wer.- Richmond State.

COM MERCIAL AND FINAN CIAL


The Cincinnati Priee-C Current of September
Doth, says the past week has emphasized the
lack of moisture IN some portions of the
West occasioning some delay in wheat seed

favorable, and the winter crop has secured a
good start. Information as to area is not yet
complete, but it indic that it is well main
tanned.
The marketing of wheat has been decidedly
enlarged at the spring grain markets, and
moderately reduced at winter wheat markets,
he aggregate for the week being the largest
on record.
The Chicago wheat market has been we'll
sustained during the week, closing &c higher
than week ago, but lie below the highest

October closing &c lower than week ago at
Chicago, while May corn closes with reduc-
ton of 1c.

Death of Joseph Ernest Renan.

This fine writer philosopher and sage died
at $40 o'clock, a. M, in Paris on last Monday
morning, aged 60 years, months, and days
Whilst out riding on Tuesday of last week he
took deep cold which resulted in congestion
of the lungs. His reputation will rest on his
Life of Jesus"
Before he died he completed History of
the People of Israeli in..fve volumes, which is
considered perfect.
But it is not as historian, but as philos-
opher, that Renan acquired his glory and OBJ
tanned an influence that swayed France He
invented form of mild unbelief known as
Renanism, which has among its followers a
large part of the youth of France.
