DEATH OF A GOOD OFFICER.

In the death of City Sergeant Charles
H. Eppes Richmond loses valuable
officer and u true man. AS soldier lie
was always foremost in the discharge of
his duties, and when near the close of the
war, while serving as color bearer of the
Forty sixth Virginia regiment, he was
shot down ON the battle field and sup.
posed to have been lnortally wounded, the
grief of his comrades was deep and gen.
eral. He was captured by the enemy,
however, and recovering from his wounds.
returned to Richmond TO serve as captain
of the police for some years and after.
wards as city sergeant, the latter being
an office of profit rs we'll rs of RESPONSE
bility. In all the positions held by him,
whether as color. bearer of his regiment,
captain of the police or city sergeant,
fidelity to duty and efficiency were his
marked characteristics. He was generous
and charitable and true to his friends, Of
whom no man in similar sphere of life
had more loving aud devoted ones His
fine physique and general appearance of
healthfulness in the days of his younger
manhood seemed to have marked him out
Tor many years of usefulness and honor;
but disease, which often undermines the
strongest constitutions, marked him ms
it's victim, and for some time past he had
been in failing health. He was only fifty
six years old; but in that periot! his
. marked personality had impressed itself
upon the people among whom he was
born and reared, and that they trusted
and honored him the record of his active
life fully shows.

DR.. Godfrey Hunter, the Republican
nominee for United States Senator from
Kentucky, has been indicted for attempt.
ed bribery by tho Franklin county, XIV,

Wilson. Captain Noel Gaines and Thomas
Tanner The Republicans Indignantly
flenounce the Indictment as Democratic

Hunter, but partisan feeling is so strong
in the State that it will hardly effect the
general result one way or the other Hun.
ter's friends, who have stood by him so
faithfully heretofore, will not falter in
their devotion now, if they believe his OPP
ponents are prosecuting him, while the
silver Democrats will labor all the more
earnestly to prevent an election by the
present Legislature, in the hope that when
the next is chosen there will be a major
ity of members friendly to Blackburn.
In this view they are probably right, for,
Mckinley prosperity is not only acting
as sort OF political boomerang in the
North and West, but in Kentucky and
other border States also. If the Republ-
cans fail to elect Hunter or some other
man of their party during the present SEES
sion, they can hardly hope to win after
the people have spoken Mt the polls,
