RESULT IN RICHMOND.
4 Quiet Day. a Fair Vote and Big
Lamb Majority.

The primary here and throughout the
district, so far as can be learned. passed
or quietly and without special incident.
There were no fights and the absence of
drinking crowds around the polls was
remarkable.
Last night when the returns were read
out at old Market Hall there was but
little excitement or enthusiasm, most OF
those present having learned approxi-
mately of the result before the official
figures were given.
Captain LAMBS friends were out in
pretty full force, but there was no great
crowd nor did those present Indulge
in hilarious demonstrations. They took
thier victory in a philosophical manner,
mush as those of Mr.. Wallace took the
defeat of their friend. and all seemed i'm
bued with the idea that there was a. COM
mon enemy to fight and that 1t behooved
all Democrats to prepare for battle under

FAILING OFF IN MONTGOMERY
A Negro Who Was Wagner in War
Claims the Old Soldier Qualification.

Especial Dispatch to The T.Imes)
CHRISTIANSBURG. VA, Sept IL
Tho Board of Registrars for the Chris
tiansburg Magisterial District, of Mont
gomer-y county Monday mot at courthouse
and will be in session here all week.
Two hundred and sixty voters have been
registered to this date of whom only
twenty-one are colored. The number OF
voters on the old books was about one
thousand, and it is the opinion OF the
most conservative that not more than
four hundred will register this fall.
Very little interest is being taken by
the voters to be registered in any section
Of the county, and less than half the
usual vote will be placed on the books
this year. The colored contingent usually
polls about four hundred votes In the
county, but under the new registration
not over one hundred will be able to
get on the books this year.
About twelve white persons were turned
down on the understanding clause and
about one hundred colored fell the same
way.
Several persons took an appeal to the
Circuit Court, among them being a negro
who was pressed into service in Gen.
Breckinridge's army in 1858, and served
as wagner until the close of the war,
receiving eleven dollars per month, the
same as soldiers received He was
free negro and contended that he had
a right TO register under the military
service clause, but the board decided
against him on the ground that a wagon
er was not a soldier as contemplated UNI
der the Constitution.
Hon. G. a. Heermans is counsel for
this petitioner and says he feels confident
of winning before Judge Blair. Judge A.
A. Phlegar was one of the first to regis
ter here Monday morning. Tho names Of
the registrars in this district are R. D.
NJ Charlton. chairman; George w, Fagg
and Jesse Miller.

MANCHESTER VERY CLOSE.
Mr.. Wallace Carries Three WARDS but
Lamb Wins-The Counties.

Carrying three wards in the city of
Manchester MI Jefferson Wallace was
then beaten in the majority, his oppon-
ent, Captain John Lamb, only carrying
one ward, yet having a majority Of 80
votes of the city.
With the closing Of the poles last
night at eight o'clock, Manchester had
passed through one Of the most quiet
and orderly primaries ever held The
viva Voce system of voting rendered the
work of the registrars and judges much
easier and shortly after the hour of
closing friends of each candidate knew
the result. The city central committee
were only kept in session for about thirty
minutes. They celebrated the primary
with supper in a private room over the
cafe of Pete Donald, where toasts to
Virglnia's Democracy We're proposed and
drunk to with a whoop, for the nominee
of the primary, the choice of the people
Eight hundred votes is doing very well
for the city, not many more than this be-
ing polled IL the municipal election. I'm
till the last ballot was recorded there
were friends of each aspirant around the
polls, and at the Second precinct there
was just a little ruffie when ticket hold
ers of Captain Lamb challenged voter
now and then.
From early in the morning it was clear
ly seen that the Second Ward would go
with a good majority for Captain Lamb.
The other three wards kept nip and tuck
through the entire day, ending with
small leads for Wallace. These, however.
did not balance up with the large ma ior-
ity Captain Lamb had received in The

Immediately after the polls We're closed
there was a cheer given FOL the winning
aspirant. Small boys prominaded the

that these We're for Wallace, and the
night was made hidious with their yells.
Not Knowing how Richmond had gone,
the small majority received by Captain
Lamb in Manchester did not dampen
yelled until hoarse.
No sooner had the city committee com
pleted their labors with the ballots than
they were adjourned for business.
Registrars, clerks and judges of cleo
tons in Manchester received pay for
their days work last night as soon as
rney had completed their tasks. They
can boast of being the only gentlemen
acting in this capacity in the Third Dis
trict who received compensation for the
days work as soon as they had finished.
At the Second Ward there was little
ruf1le between two we'll known gentle
men, but in the other wards everything
was quiet. In fact this little dispute did
not amount to anything. Not an arrest
was made during the day.
Accepting an invitation of chairman
Cousins of the City Committee. the MEM

delinquent tax collector And last
night the board Of aldermen had to
pass the minutes because they were
not complete and could not be adopted
until they were. The clerk said he
didn't have time. Yet he has time to
act as delinquent tax collector and to
sit around and abuse people for exer-
cising the inalienable prerogative of
free speech and simply insisting that
public officials adhere to the law, and
if they have no right to hold office to
get out of it,
This administration never has muz-
zled anyone yet, however.
