ONE OF the, unfortunately, not
strangest, but most noticeable things OF
this strange, eventful age, is the fact
that among the southern democrats in
Congress the northern republican lead
ers find their most active and elect
i've followers in all their selfish schemes
by which they hope to profit themselves
by the seizure of foreign territory, UNI
der the guise of patriotic desire to pro
mote the welfare and greatness Qf(the
country. 1t is readily understood how
Il few men in the Nerttiil, and some dis
naturalized Americans in Hawaii,
could be proiited by the annexation OF
thatcountry, but how either the coun-
Try at large or the South could be, can
be told only by the few men referred to
and their Congressional agents, and
even by them by no means satisiac-
torily.

BISHOP TURNER, of the African NJ. +.
Church, is one Of the most intelligent
men of his race. He says "You may
send negroes to Jail until half of them
are convicts. They will still be men,
ace to this country" The Bishop is
right. Jails have no terrors for the av-
erage negro. On the contrary, in cold
weather, he ratherprefers them, as they
require of him no work, and as they at
ford warm and comfortable quarters
with three square meals a ay,and con-
genial companion. Imprisonment doesn't
have deterrent effect upon the Grim
inally and viciously disposed negro, but
he breads the physical pain of the
whipping post as he does death.

Letter from Rappahannock.
Correspondence Alexandria Gazette.


WASHINGTON, Va, Feb. 13.-The ne
groes in this part of the county are as a
rule well-behaved, industrious and po-
lite in their manners, but now and then
they forget themselves, and the result
is they have come to repent. Last Sat
urday Frank Finn, somewhat ola char
acter in Flint Hill, raised disturbance
in Chelf's store with young Anderson,
the clerk. and the result is Finn has a
very sore head, if not cracked skull,
caused by weight. Chelf has been ar
rested and will have Il hearing to-day.
Rappahannock is DESTROYS to see Mr..
Basil 3. Gordon succeed Colonel Chas.
Z. O'Ferrall. as it is now understood
the Colonel will be candidate
for Governor. Mr.. Gordon is well
known throughout the State and his
claims are such as should be recognized.
AS chairman ofthe executive committee
he has successfully managed the cam
paigns, and displayed singular execu-
tive ability in all the various duties of
the Office, giving his time, labor and at
tention to the interests of his party.
Then, too, Rappahannock has not had
Congressman for many years, not
since the Hon. J.. French Strother rep
resented it some years before the war,
and it is now about time her turn should
come again, and there is no one to
whom the honor is more deserving, or
who will fill the place with greater fl
deity and attention. In this Kappa
hammock is strictly in earnest, and will
do all in her power to secure the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Gordon.
The heaviest snow Of the season is
now falling and the roads are in fear
full condition. b.

THE AMERICAN manufacturers Of tin
ware have petitioned Congress for the
removal of the tax on pig tin. They
say that as tin is not mined in CONNER
cial quantities in the United States, the
tax is nothing more than burden upon
American manufacturers, and that for
eign SPECTATORS are already shipping
tin to this country and storing it in or
der to reap the profits therefrom. But,
all the same, the present leaders of the
democratic party, in face ofthe demands
of the national democratic platform, say
there must be no early extra session of
the next Congress for the purpose ofre-
moving the unnecessary, but burden
some, tax referred to.

THE NEW YORK ltorld, the anti
Tammany organ of New York, in COM
mending the appointment of Judge
Gresham TO the premiership of Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland's cabinet, says
.sthe new forces which rally to our
standard aud support our principles
must be not merely tolerated, but well
coined and made to feel at home"
WHY, certainly /; aud no wise democrat
objects to according them such treat
ment. But that is vastly different
thing from putting them at the head OF
the democratic household, though, ap-
parently at least, the Uorld doesn't
seem to think so.

SEVENTEEN COUPON CAsEs.-Seven

SEVENTEEN COUPON CAsE5.-Seven-
teen coupon cases, brought by Col
onel Maury, of Richmond, amounting
in the aggregate 10 between $500 and
5000, were tried in the Circuit Court,
in Petersburg, on Monday, and in each
case the verdict was against the State.
The Commonwealth raised point in
only one case, where the bonds
were not produced. Upon this
point argument was heard. The
coupons in question had been cut from
bonds in possession of and accepted by
the State for funding, and this fact
having been established to the satistac-
ton of the Court and jury, the point
was overruled by the Court on the
ground that the State would not ac-
cept spurious bonds.

LYNcHED.-At 1890 o'clock last
night an infuriated mob battered down
the outer doors of the county jail at
Chattanooga, Tenn, and forced their
way into the cell where Andrew Blount,
colored, charged with assaulting Mrs.
Mary Moore. white, aged 81 years, was
confined. Despite the protests of the
Jail officials and many leading citizens,
they took the negro to the bridge which
crosses the Tennessee river and hanged
him from one of the arches. The as
sault occurred about noon yesterday on
Helen street. Blount was arrested on
suspicion, but Mrs. Moore was in doubt
whether he was the man. Neighbors,

oner protested his innocence, and an in
vestigation by number of leading citi-
zens Indicated that he spoke the truth.
Later facts show that the negro's
identity and guilt were fully established.
