WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1877

Mr. GIBSON, republican of Knoxville,
Tennessee, has taken time by the lore
lock and though Mr.. Reed has deter
mined that there shall be no other than
tariff legislation at this session OF Con-
eress. has introduced force bill, SO as
to have it ready for consideration as
soon as the regular session shall begin,
and Senator Hoar, in speaking OF 1t,
and with the result of the use OF Mr..
Hanna's corruption fund before his
ewes, says he has no doubt that with an
honest count Virginia would have gwen
Mr. Mckinley twenty-five thousand
majority. 1t isn't likely, however, that
the bill will ever be passed, though q
majority OF the elections committee OF
the last House did report in favor OF an
investigation of Southern elections, as
even Senator Hoar himself, and Mr..
Sneaker Reed, and almost everybody
else except Southern republicans, whom
Mr.. John Wise las designated as apos-
tates for the price of their apostacy, are
tired of the old and trite and worn ont
CRY about alleged election frauds
in the South, when, according to
reputable men in the North, election
frauds in that section have become so
freouent and common that proficiency
in their commission is more honored IN
the performance than in the breach.
When the Senate was composed OF bet
ter material than it is now, its members
never made assertions that could not
be supported by facts. but MIR. Hoar'
with the recklessness of ward poll
tician, states as fact about Virginia,
what he nor any one else can prove,
and is impelled to Go so solely by his
sectional prejudice against the people
whose lot was cast on this side of the
Potomac river.

THE RESULT of the recent elections /
Ohio and Illinois should stimulate
Senator Allen in his effort to have the
not merely alleged, but the proved
charges of republican, not democratic,
frauds, perpetrated in the North at the
last Presidential election investigated.
There must be something wrong when
States that go democratic the year be-
fore and the year after Presidential
election, when no money is used, 60
republican at a Presidential election
in which eighteen million dollars, ac-
cording to undenied accounts, were
expended.

AN EFFORT will be made to establish a
home in Richmond for the INDECENT Wild
ows and daughters of the Confederate
soldiers of the State. Of all the many
worthy charities to which Virginians
subscribe, none meets with more re-
sponsive chord in the hearts,
not only of those within the limits
of their State, but wherever they
may be, and their sympathy should,
and doubtless will, be manifested in
practical shape.

SOUTHERN LOAN AssoCIATIoN.-The
litigation against the Southern Build
ing and Loan Association, which has
shareholders in ten States, was begun
anew in Knoxville, Tenn, yesterday,
when 8 general creditors and stock
holders bill against the association was
filed in the Chancery Court by counsel
for several stockholders in Kentucy,
Tennessee, and Virginia. 1t prays for
a receiver for the association, alleging
insolvency and an injunction restrain
ing other creditors and stockholders
from bringing any other suits against
the defendants.
Chancellor Lindsay refused to allow

junction prayed for.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms
by machinery the first to put up seeds
in little packages the first to manu-
facture cut nails.
Now they are out with method of
curing dyspepsia by resting the stom-
ach. Their remedy is known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. II supplies
food in an artifcially digested form
and at the same time aids the digestion
of other foods in the stomach In other
words, by the use OF the Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial. dyspeptic virtually gets
along without the use Of his stomach
until it is restored to its natural strength
and vigor. A single 10 cent bottle will
oft-times give marked relief. Get n
bottle from your druggist and try it.

A coroner's jury met at MIR. Demaine's
undertaking establishment, where the
body had been taken, at ten o'clock
this morning. The jury, of which Mr..
]. F. Birrell was foreman. brought in
verdict to the effect that Dorsey came
to his death by his own hand. From
the evidence in the case it seems that
the deceased approached his wife this
morning while she was lying in bed
and dealt what he supposed was fatal
blow with an axe. His daughter, who
was sleeping alongside of her mother,
awoka and screamed and the would-be
murderer fled. As stated above, the
daughter proceeded to the station house
and reported the matter. Dorsey in
the meantime had repaired to the alley
where he cut his throat.

newly registered when he returned,
which he fully intended. So no alter
ations were made in the certificate

still carved up somewhere inside her. ;"
This was true enough. The figures
on the certificate, 9.56, were those

''My husband never lived to reach

firm Mrs. Carlingford's plainly-told
story. On my return to London that
night l hunted up some back volumes

matter of the Wasp and her owner,
William Carlingford. And, to be short,
the transfer was made on fresh sur

acquaintance, Mr.. Dewy, asking him to

skipper and crew-not without some
apprehensions of hearing by return of
post that Dewy and Moss were ready
and willing to sign articles with me to
steer and sail the yacht in their spare
moments. Perhaps the idea did not oc-
cur to them. At any rate they found me
a crew, and a good one; and spent a
very comfortable three months cruis-

across to Sicily, from Sicily to Cork
and back to southampton, where on
September 90, 1891, laid the yacht up

"Slums of New York by Flash
Light" is the subject of Prof. Van
Liew's great lecture in the Methodist
Church next Saturday evening Dec.
II. 1t is illustrated by one hundred
views, rs #. square, thrown upon the
screen by a powerful new double
stereoptcon, in which are used two
75o-candle power oxy-hydrogen lights.
The presentation is thrilling and vivid,
yet free absolutely from all that might
offend the most refined. 1t never fails
to delight, and it is original in style.
Search-lights are turned on the great
city, the bright side and the dark are
happily interviewer and the tears will
be chased away by laughter. 1t is
one of the most unique, interesting,
and instructive entertainments ever
given in Bloomsbury. In order to
bring it within the reach of all, it has
been decided to charge no stipulated
amount for admission, but to receive
a SiI5er oftring at the door. 1t is a
so cent entertainment and hence it is
hoped and expected that persons will
not drop pennies in the plates, but
will give sii0er o6cying. Doors open
at 1900 and the lecture will begin at
7:45.
