LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 6, 1894.
A subcommittee from the city demo
cratic committee have agreed upon s
bill which the Legislature will be ask &c
TO pass legalizing primaries and nomin
ating conventions in Richmond. II
provides for fine or Imprisonment OIL
both for persons violating the rules
governing the primary.
In the primary election held here
spring before last there were alleged
irregularities, but it was thought at the
time that the reports were greatly ex.
aggerated. The present move is looked
upon as being wise measure, however
Delegate Nico has offered bill to
legalizc primaries throughout the
State, but it is hard TO tell if it will be
passed.
Miss Virginia D. Ferguson and Mr.
Ansel ID. Landcrkin were married this
morning at st. johns Episcopal Church,
the ceremony being performed by the
rector, Rev. Il. A. Goodwin. The we'd
ding, though quiet and unostentatious,
was withal beautiful in its simplicity
and modesty and in the historic old
edilice never did there more happy
gathering assemble. Every seat in the
house was filled, many of the most
prominent people in the city being pres
ent. The chancel was beautifully de
corated with palms and scarlet flowers

men, and the family is very prominent
in fashionable circles. They have
heard nothing of the alleged illness o.
the minister, and are somewhat anx
ious as the result.
Thomas n. McNamee and VIM. ]
Gaul, the men charged with the MUIR
der of Robert Lee Atwell, have been
indicted by the grand jury. The full
story of the alleged killing was told in
this correspondence at the time. There
are several sensational features con-
nected with the case, and the trial will
be watched with more interest than
any court proceeding here since the
celebrated Cluverius trial.

On SUBJECTS in which the people OF
Virginia take little Or no interest, the
legislature is prone to instruct the
States representatives in the U. S. Sen
ate how to vote; but on those in which
they take great interest, the proneness
referred to lapses into the most inert
supineness. Every true Virginia dem
ocrat desires as many competent States
rights democrats on the U. S. Supreme
Bench as possible, and when man is
nominated for seat on that bench
who does not come up to the required
standard, it is one of the duties of the
legislature to instruct the States Sena-
tors to vote against his confirmation, as
that of Kentucky has recently done.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. FEB. !. 1894

SOUTHERN people are, and, OF right,
should be. free traders, for the good OF
the whole country, as we'll as OF thelr
own. But they are human, and, being
so, it is not at all unnatural that many
of them should be provoked with the
party to which they belong, when 1t
proposes tariff bill that protects the
products of New England with a dcty
of forty per cent, but removes every
vestige of protection for such southern
products. as coal, iron ore and sugar,
especially as that party promised them,
in its last national platform. that its
tariff bill should be one Tor revenue
only. and, as the bill that has passed
the L. 5. House of Representatives will,
instead OF increasing revenue, decrease
it. by reducing the imports of the artl-
cles that compete with the duty bear
inc manufactures of the North, aud en-
larging those of the non-duty bearing
products of the South. All this being
so plain that those who run may read,
the wise men Of the party hope the re-
port that the democratic members OF
the finance committee of the Senate
will impose low and revenue tariff on
the southern products referred to, may
prove true. If it be, entire harmony
will be at once restored among the con-
gressional delegations from Louisiana,
Alabama, the two Yirginias and Mary
land. and ali of those States be safely
anchored in the democratic party, but
some OF which, otherwise, now that
the fear of negro domination has been
dissipated by the repeal of the federal
election laws. may deem themselves
absolyed from party ties at the next
election: and ii must be conceded that
the condition of the party now is not
such that it can afford to bear the
loss of single southern State.

THERE IS little wonder that some
democratic members of the U. S. House
of Representatives refused yesterday to
vote for the resolution denouncing Min
lister Stevens, and yet sustaining all that
he did. If he did wrong, as most dis
interested and fair minded men, familiar
with the case, believe, that wrong
should have been righted, and not per-
mitted TO stand, to the disgrace of the
country in the eyes of the civilized
world. Mr.. Daniel told the truth
in the United States Senate yester-
day, when he said, in effect,
the Hawaiian affair was the biggest
piece of counting out he had ever
heard of, and that the U. S. Minister,
with the U. S. forces, counted in 1900
Americans, and counted out all the rest
of the people of those islands, and that
the former were now ready to sell the
latter's country to the government
whose agent had made the count.

T. J. Smeddick, the civil engineer who
was for a number of years connected
with the city engineers and street COM
missioner's departments, was in the po-
lice court today charged with petty lar
ceny. The case appears to have grown
out of a misunderstanding, and the de-
PENDANT was promptly discharged
Mr.. Smeddick left an old plug hat at
c. Chivers' renovating establishment last
week to be cleaned and blocked. He
thought Mr. Chivers said he could have
it last Saturday. Chivers says he didn't
Mr.. Smeddick called for his hat Satur-
day. and it wasn't done. He called again
Yesterday afternoon, and still it was not
quite ready. Smeddick demanded, as his
hat was not done, that he should be
given another hat, or else his old one
whether done or not. Chivers refused to
give up the old hat unless Smeddlck
paid 90 cents for the work already done
on it. Smeddick wouldn't hear to this for
a minute, so he took an old hat that be-
longed to Chivers and went home. He
saws he thought the hat he took was his
own. Chivers had Smeddick arrested
for petty larceny and Officer Carruthers
served the warrant Chivers will get the
hat back, and Smeddick will get his
when it is done.
