AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM
THROUGHOUT THE SoUThSIOe.
Fair to All Intelligent Enough to Vote
Honorable Electoral Boartis-A City
Primary for Petersburg.

PETERSBURG. VA, March s.-(Sps-
ciaI)-The passage of the bill by the L.
gislature attaching the Australian-ballot
system to the present election-laws OF
Virginia after the first OF July meets with
favor on all sides In this section.
1t Is believed that 1t will be fair to all
parties who are entitled by intelligence to
vote. and that no complaint can be made
by any person opposing the Democratic
party of unfarness. The Southside has
been sorely beset in the elections in the
strenuous efforts IL had made year after
year to keep the intelligence Of the peo-
pie in control Of local affairs. These eff
forts have been opposed by the ignorant
masses of, the Republican party, and for
some time with success. The people OF
the Southsidc are in favor Of the fairest
kind Of elections. and they have always
sought to secure them. The electoral
boards in Petersburg and In the South
side counties are composed of gentlemen
who are above reproach, and have al
ways appointed subordinates who were
recommended as honest and capable in
carrying out the election laws.
AT THE MUNICIPAL PRIMARY.
In the selection OF their candidates for
municipal offices at the May election, the
Democrats OF Petersburg will hold pri-
mary. In view of the multiplicity OF APP
plcahts for office their primary plan
will most assuredy be adopted. and the
old system of ward delegates. and
convention will be done away with. There
are three candidates for Commissioner or
the Revenue, two for Commonwealth
Attorney, and II IL expected that candi-
dates for other offices will in due time
be announced. one half OF the member
ship of the Common Council is TO be
elected this spring. and though the gem
eral public cannot imagine why any gen.
tleman should long for this office, yet IN
some Of the wards the most active con-
test is going on for the Council nomina-
tiOns.
IRON BRIDGE.
The new iron bridge to span the Apo
mattox river at the point betweer the
city and Ettrick, known as Campbelrs
bridge. will be erected the early part OF
next week. The city and the county OF
Chesterfield bear equally the expenses.
The structure will be a substantial ole,
aud one that will stand for years.

IL Is reported that one Of the members
az the General Assembly from this city
was yesterday robbed In Richmond Of his
package OF printed laws and bills, which
he had carefully collected TO bring home

RIO DE JANEIRO, March s.--oE the
night of Tuesday. March 9Th, barge
loaded with bacon, -four. and cylinder
oil belonging TO the firm OF Levering &
Co, OF Baltimore and Rio de Janeiro.
was stolen from the side Of the Hamburg
steamer Cantania, to which she was
moored. The theft was the work OF the
insurgents, who are ever on the aiert
TO obtain food and other supplies. AS
there was no German warship In RIO mar
Dor. the German vessels, with others
having withdrawn on account of the
prevalence OF yellow-fever. the head OF
the house of lowering e. Co. applied 10
Admiral Benham for redress. Admiral
Benham declined 10 interfere because the
stolen barge, as well as the steamer
from the side Of which she was taken,
was under the German flag. The German
government has notified the legation here
that a German warship may be expected
in Rio harbor very soon, when IL Is
probable that some notice VIII be taken
OF the barge incident.
The thefts on the part of the insur-
gents have been very common since the
beginning Of the trouble here, and In most
cases the stealing has been very adroitiy
done. Some time ago a barge loaded
with provisions was stolen by me insur-
gents under cover Of darkness from the
side OF n British ship. and on another oc-
casion sixty bales Of cotton were stolen
from lighter attached by hawser to
another British ship. In both cases appear
was made TO the British authorities, but
they not only refused to interfere, but
roundly cursrl the captains OF the SHIPS
for being such - fools as TO Keep
barges alongside Of their vessels over
night
BRITISH FLAG FIRED ON.
Yesterday as the tug Isabel, flying the
British flag was steamng into the outer
harbor. she was fired upon by the insur-
gent steamer Victoria. the shot passing
through the Isabels flag. The Isabel
stopped Immediately. and the Victoria 10y
signal compelled her TO come alongside
which she did. The Victoria took of one
OF the crew Of the Isabel pressing him
into the lnsurgent service, and ordered the
tug away. The matter was at once re-
ported to the British authorities, but as
Yet they have taken 10 action whatever.
All of the. naval commanders except Ad-
miral Benham have left the port foi
places of safety from yellOw-feYer The
deaths now average l25 daily.
Dispatches from Bahia show that the
election was conducted quietly. and the Pc
turns indicate the complete triumph OF
