An OLD RICHMOND HOWITZER
Elected to once By a scare-Crow-Howi 1T
Happened,

There are still living many members OF
the Howitzers who recollect Travers d.
Moncure. their brave and faithful old
comrade. His career has been somewhat
a chequered one. Just after the war he
became captain OF a Potomac steamboat
for two years. He took her up James
river during a freshet in that stream, and
being unacquainted with the channel, cast
anchor one night in a broad expanse OF
water determined to stay until daylight.
He had not been there long before from
the rapid subsistence OF the water he saw
sorn-tassels appearing all around the
boat He had anchored In cornheld, ana
he got out pretty quickly.
Although a success as steamboat cap
tain, yet after he came out OF the corn
field with his boat he went into the steam
saw-mill business. and beginning up IN
Stafford. his native county, he sawed
straight through the intervening country
until he came TO King William county.
Here he met with and married Miss Bes-
sic Douglas daughter OF Hon. Is. Is. Dou-
glass a bright, witty and charming little
woman about as big as his fist. but with
a heart az big as her body and brain
bigger than either. After this happy
termination OF his wanderings. "Trav,
as his friends called him. anchored win
no raging waters or "corn-tassels 10
make him shift his ground.
Being universally beloved and popular,
the people OF King William county ran
him for sheriff against very strong re
publican in county with large Re-
publican majority. "Tray" was elected by
about twenty votes. and IL was done IN
this way:
He was riding along the road as the
shades of evening advanced, when looking
through the thin skirt OF bushes when
bordered the highway, he saw coiored
man in the cornfield leaning upon his
hoe-hande. "Tray" hailed him and made
his business known in soft and persuasive
accents. The colored voter not only did
not reply to or notice him. but as pun
of wind passed, actually turned his back
upon "rrav," who was so indignant at
such rudeness that he used language
very much like cuss-words. Getting
better view OF the darkey as he rode on he
discovered he was scare-crow!
The colored people hearing Of the Incl
dent. were so tickled by IL that they SAID,
"Anv man who wanted the office so bad
that he electioneered with the scare-crow
ought TO be elected" And they elected
him. A.

DlNGLEY TARIFF BILL.
MORE WEARISOME DELAfs IN
STORE FOR THE MEASURE.
1t WIN Scarcely Become Law Before the
First of Augustine Democrats
Want to Examine

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Demo-
cratic members OF the Senate Finance
Committee to-day followed up their re-
fusal Of yesterday to allow tee tariff bill
to be reported direct to the Senate.
with the announcement. that they would
expect to be given opportunity for a
thorough examination OF the schedules
Of the bill as amended before 1t is re-
norted TO the Senate. They have al
ready employed one expert, and will
employ others. to take up the bill in their
behalf as soon as 1t is presented to them.
They expect to be able TO examine the
bill sufficiently to permit 1t to go to
the Senate in about TWO weeks time
after they receive IL.
DON'T WANT DELAY.
Thora has been some talk among the
Democratic senators OF granting hear
ings by the full committee, but this pro-
position does not appear 70 have met
with general favor. The Democratic
members of the committee fear that
inslstance upon this course would be
construed into a determination 10 delay
tho hill for the sake OF delay, which
they insist is no part Of their pro-
gramne.
The decision of the Democratic membtss
NAV have the effect OF causing a post
ponement OF the presentation OF the
bill beyond Thursday. Some Of the Re
publican committeeman now say that
they may not conclude their work be-
fore Monday morning. as there are
still various matters, which are not dci-
niteIy decided. and which It becomes
necessary to fix absolutely before going
into the fun committee. They are stirl
working with the hope OF presenting
the bill Thursday, but are less hopeful
than formerly.
PREPARING FOR A SIEGE.
The Republicans think they discover in
the present attitude OF their Democratic
colleagues a disposition to delay the pas
sage Of the bill. which they had not
previously counted upon. and are making
their preparations for long siege in the
Senate. as well as in the committee.
Some Of them express the fear that. tbe
bill will not become n law before the
1st of August.

NOT 4 STATE ISSUE,
Orange County Wants Tyler Partly Bee
ca.se of His Free Silver Views.

ORANGE, VA. April 27.-Special.-In a
large gathering at Orange County Court
on Monday, considerable discussion TOOK
place as TO the coming contest for Gov
ernor. The general sentiment seemed
TO be that Major Hoge Tyler was entitled
to the Democratic nomination. both on
account of the fact that the people
through their delegates to the last guber-
material convention. had promised him
the nomination and because OF his posi-
ton on the question Of free coinage.
The valuable aid given the party by Mr..
]. Taylor Ellyson, is admitted by all, but
they think il would be an error 10 put at
the head of the ticket man who did not
earnestly favor the free coinage or silver
at 16 to l.
The farmers are strong for Tyler and
they will control the county.
Considerable damage has been done by
frost but unless we have repetition OF II
there will still be a good yield OF fruit.
