Quiet In Political Circles.

Prince George Courthouse, Va, Oct.
17.-Special.-Our county is very quiet
just now. particularly in political circles.
Several speeches were made on Thurs
day (court-day) by representatives of
the different parties, but there was very
little excitement on the grounds. The
Democrats are fully alive TO their inter-
ests and very sanguine. The Third
party is growing smaller and beautifully
less each day. AS election approaches
they are awaking 10 the fact that they
have been deceived, and We believe by
the Sth of November hardly man will
be left to tell the tale.
Farmers are busy seeding oats and
digging peanuts. The peanut crop is con-
sidered a short one.

some extracts from his slanderous
speeches against the South, delivered az

charlottesville Va. Oct 1S-Special.-
To-dav White Hall. fifteen miles north OF
this Mace. WAS the scene of a large DEM
ocratic barbecue, which was arranged py
the Democratic club Of that point. Ihe
crowd numbered 800 or more. A great
many of them were ladies, and were ad-
dressed by Messrs. Perkins. Woods. DaD-
ney and Harris Of Albemarle and colonel
Charles T. OFerrall, Of Harrisonburg.
Hon. John S. Harris was first intro
duced. and i'm a short and ringing speech
depicted the horrors of the Force Dill,
which ne considered the paramount
issue of this canvass.
Captain Woods followed by saying that
never was he In a canvass which exhibited
more earnestness, or in which he thought
there was ever more at stake and the
welfare OF the Government more impll-
Gated He differed with the preceding
speaker. who said he thought that Mr..
Harrison was honest, and added that he
considered him n man who performs the
works of the devil In the name Of the
Lord He then discussed the Force bill
in an able manner, which, he said, was
a deadly and dangerous blow at our rights
and liberties as American citizens. He re-
ferred with telling effect 10 an article In
a leading Republican paper in Pittsburg,
which stated that although the old Dem
ocratic party was thoroughly organized
in New York and led by such matchless
leaders as Hill, Whitney. Cochran, 1t
would fade away when confronted by the
mighty millions Of the Carnegies and the
Wanamakers. Captain Woods clearly
convinced his audience that such were the
tactics Of the Republican party to defeat
the will OF the people.
Next came Hon. w. d. Dabney. who
told the people in vigorous language thar
there were only two parties and two cam
didates before the people-the Democratic
party led by Grover Cleveland, and the
Republican party, by Benjamin Harrison.
He described Mr.. Cleveland as a man who
gave a cause TO his party and a party TO
a cause. He knew no South. no North, no
East, or West, but was President OF the
whole country. Mr.. Dabney spoke with
feeling and earnestness, and II is need
less 10 say that his strong points were
more than appreciated.
He was followed by Hon. George Per-
kins in one OF his happiest speeches.

and appropriate anecdotes. His defini-
tion of the letters G.. o. P.-go on pilfer-

said that the chances OF the Democratic
party never looked brighter, and urged
the sturdy old farmers not to desert II
now, but TO stand by Democracy with re-
newed energy and vigor. as IL was their
safety and protection. He received the
closest attention. and rounds OF applause.
Lastly came the gallant Colonel Charles

He Also Declares That General sickles is
Ineligible for Congress.

New York, Oct 1s-General Isaac s.
Catlin, nominated for Congress by the
Democrats of the Third district has de-
clined. He gives as a reason the fact
that he is ineligible for the place because
he is OF the retired list Of the regular
army and the recipient OF pension. Hs
has been informed by the Attoney-Gen-
eIal of the United States that his accept
snce OF office would yacate his place on
the retired list Of the army, and In conse-
querce he would forfeit the emoluments.
General Catlin says that he was very
reluctant to decline the nomination, but
he was obliged 10 do so because he cLn-
not take the risk Of being retired from
the army. He also says that General
Dar Sickles, nominated In this city for
Congress, is I'm the same fix.
The convention for the Third district
has been recalled for O'Clock this after
noon, but the nominations must be inled
to-day and there was no time to lose.
