The announcement Of the death. by sui
eide, in st. Louis, OF Mr.. Charles b.

this city, caused great eurprise and re-
greet. The deceased was son of Mr.. II.
L.. PIummer. and was recognized as one
of the best Judges Of cotton In the South.
His business IN the West and South was
10 purchase cotton for eastern friends.

Of the elite OF the young men of this

speak at the same place and time.
POLITICAL.
The outlook for Democratic success in
the Fourth District is growing brighter
and brighter each day. A great many Of
the farmers who during the past two
years have acted with the Populists will
this year act and vote with the Demo-
cratic party. and great many of the
old-line Republicans will vote for Mr.. Nc
Kenney In preference to the Republican
candidate, whose only stock in trade is
the Walton law, and who spends most
OF his time in teaching his deluded fol-
lowers how to spell his name. that they
may be able to vote rightly. What huge
parody on intelligent elections.

A Card {, ON Dir. Dawson.

RICHMOND, VA. September ~, 1874.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your recent editorials on the subject OF
opcning the campaign here with some dis
tinguished speakers, and your comments
on the fact that Richmond mas not SO
far had her share Of instruction on the
issues Of the campaign from the stump
may, not unnaturally, give rise to the
inference that the City Cor .ittee, whose
especial duty 1t is TO look after these
matters has been derelict. In justice 10
the gentlemen who compose this commit
tee / beg to say that some time before
your first editorial appeared this qves-
ton was thoroughly discussed by the
ward euperintendents. and invitations
were extended to some OF our foremost
orators TO come to us at the earliest
time they could arrange to do so, among
others. Senator Daniel, whom we particu-
larly wish to have with us. He was
written TO by Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson,
myself, and a number OF his intimate
friends.
If the Dispatch will kindly suggest
some more advisable means OF securing
the services of speakers for Richmond, or
X II will suggest to us the names OF
some gentlemen who 1t thinks would most
readily consent to honor us with their
presence. and who are most capable OF
instructing the people Of Richmond on
the issues of the campaign, the commit
tee will receive such suggestions with
sincere appreciation.
The Dispatch may rely upon 1t that the
committee will leave nothing undone
which 1t Is in their power to do to make
the campaign In this city active and ag-
gressive. and the people shall not be de-
prived either OF the pleasure or the bene-
fit of hearing the issues Of the campaign
discussed In due time / beg to remain,
Yours, very truly.
MARION l.. DAWSON,
Chairman City Committee
We are glad to hear that the City Com
mittee has taken steps to open the cam
paign here. But one OF the chief points
that we have been making In our articles
is that a big meeting should be held here
before the attention Of our people be-
comes too greatly absorped In the Expo
siton.
Major Daniel will suit us first rate: II
he can be gotten We say ''all right" But
until the Majors answer has been re-
ceived-untll he has declined-we should
not care TO suggest the names OF other
speakers. If he consents 10 open the
campaign here We don't want any Other
speaker; he should have the whole eve
ming to himself.-Editor.
