A CARD FROM MIR. PRICE.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
When I answered the communication
of K I had no idea Mr.. Peyton would
be childish enough to resort to borrow
ing false reports of malicious scandal
mongers. or the charge insinuated
against me am entirely innocent, and
those who know me will never credit
such charge. Had the charge made
by Mr.. Peyton come from some ordi-
nary person I should merely have pass
ed it with frown, but coming as it
does from one of the peacemakers of
our community, from journalist of
unmeasured ability, I am both shocked
and grieved to see how the mighty have
fallen. Now in all kindness l would
advise for the future that when Mr..
Peyton attempts to mould public opin-
ion in favor of over jealous police ser,
geants at the expense OF commissioners
or other officials that he fling his darts
from higher plane than his last at,
tempt was leveled from.

KISSED FOR FIVE MINUTES The

love was had in Justice Landrums
court Friday, when William Scales
and Lula Beak were joined in the holy
bonds of matrimony. They walked
the length of the courtroom while
Bailiff Wimbish whistled hot Times
in Old Town To night, and with two
great, broad smiles they were joined TO.
gether. They were required to kiss
six times by the spectators, aud the
loud smacks drowned the hearty ap.
plause that followed. When the Fix
had been finished they showed no sign
OF closing, and for five minutes they
continued the exercise, when the Judge
called order in court and the love feast
was over"

No MATTER whether there be coz
servative Or liberal ministry in Spain,
the intention of the Spanish govern
ment is, and will continue to be, as
firm as it ever was to suppress the in.
surrection in Cuba, and that intention
is in exact accordance with the wishes
of almost everybody in Cuba who has
any real material interest in the vel
fare of that island. The condition OF
Jamaica, Haiti and San Domingo, and
that of the South during the dire days
of reconstruction, makes them shudder
at the thought of free Cuba, and is Ger
tainly enough to do 80.

THE WASHINGTON evening organ Of
the administration takes the side of the
Agnew wing of the republican party in
this State, as is natural, as that is
Mr.. Hanna's side. 1t also says the
election of Major Tyler "will represent
no triumph of free silver" But that it
will, is proved by the fact that free sill
yer is the plank of the platform upon
which the Major is running, and that ne
and all the speakers who are advocat::
ing his election lay more stress upon
that particular plank than upon ali the
Others combined, and that all the dem
ocratic candidates for the legislature
are also running upon the platform OF
free silver coinage at sixteen to one.

TIE Richmond Times denies that it
said it was one of the Virginians who
at the last election thought the repub'

rule the South by the negro vote, and
says the GAZETTE can't make good the
assertion that it did AS the GAZETTE
doesn't keep file of the Times, it, of
course, cannot quote its exact words.
If it did, or could get copy of the

EXCITEMENT AT APPoMATToX.-
When Mr.. W. Il. Lyon, democratic
nominee for the Legislature, had fin
ished brief speech at Appomat'
tox Court House on Thursday, in
which he stated that the only promise
he had made was to vote for the return
of Senator Daniel to the United States
Senate, s. P. Coleman, the county
sheriff, stepped up to Mr.. Ligon and, in
a loud voice that was heard throughout
the building, declared that he Ligon)
had promised to vote against Major B.
B. Lynn in the election of superlnten.
dent of the penitentiary. The crowd
had commenced pouring out of the
courthouse building, but when they
heard the sheriff sp: aking in evident
excitement they stopped to listen to
the controversy: MIR. Lyon denied
having made any such promise, and
Mr.. Coleman, growing still more ex.
cited, said "Then I will beat you. l
will run as an independent candidate
for the Legislature from this county,"
Mr.. Lyon replied that such q course
on the part of Mr.. Coleman would not
swerve him from his intention of de-
clining to pledge himself. Since the
meeting Mr.. Coleman has stated to
several persons that he is out for the
Office. Mr. Coleman is also candi.
date for reelection to the Office of sheriff
and is opposed by Mr.. Frank W. Nc.

After MIR. Coleman left the courthouse
Thursday he had an alteration on the
porch of the bui ding with R. b. Drawn
and several blows were exchanged.
Field Smith, well-known Appomat-
tox farmer, denounced the sheriff and
another fight was narrowly averted.

per cent. in the registration of Ohio
this fall, goes no little way to sustain

was enormous. Indeed; it is becoming
