We had a call today from our
friend ]. G. Buckley, who advertised
in yesterdays paper that he had
81, $50 in city scrip for sale, and he
came around to thank us for rails
ing the quantity to $4,000, but ad-
ded that we had better put it to
the true figures, as the city did not
have this much outstanding against
it. He let us off from a damage
suit and subscribed for the paper,
saying he liked to see progressive
ness, even in figures.

die tragedy waS enacted in this

was and is great excitement. Wm.

convict and deperado, who was in
Jail awaiting transport to the peEl-
Tertiary to serve a term of four
years TOR house. breaking. AT
6 o'clock last night q general police
alarm was sounded, and soon an
excited coowd thronged the street
leading to the courthouse aud Jail
Tue shooting seems to have been
a part of the operation of a con-
certed plan at general jail delivery
and one which was barely frustrat
ed.

and without warning Evans turned
rpon the jAllOr and opened fire
upon him with q pistol at short
range. Taken by surprise, Mr
Cook returned the fire with his re
volver, and, though desperately
wounded, fore, d the negro to re

as h3 ran. Through desperately
wounded, tue plucky officer opened
the door, hoping to intercept the
fugitive In his attempt to escape
through an upper window, but the
negro, OWNING his int ntlon,
made a desperate plunge through

carrying sash and shattered glass
with him. Apparently ulinJ1red
by his dangerous leap he was upon

The New Election Law.

We publish IN this issue the new
election law. The few changes
made are Of little Importance,
The most important change Is the
grouping of electors on Presidential
tickets. Under the present Law,
any one can vote as he desires
for presidential elections, while he
could not under the old law. The
abolition OF the spec al clstab'e
feature and the substitution OF one
of the jnIges to be selected 10y the
Judges Of lection, is an insult t.
the Intelligence of the Virginia
people. The people wanted the
special constable feature abolished
The Legislature has done iuhnltIy
worse than they would have done,
had they r, fused TO abolish that
feature OF the law.
