Proceedings Instituted in the

union at Nashville.
HOLDS OFFICE IN LOWNDES

Montgomery June s.-(Specal. Inn
parchment proceedings against J. Colvin
Wood judge of probate of Lowndes coun-
ty, were filed in the supreme court today.
The court will likely set day for its
hearing at tomorrow's session.
Mr.. Wood is the present probate Judge
and a nominee of the democrats for re-
election. 1t is charged that he mas been in
temperate in his habits, and that ne has
attempted to purchase votes the allega-
tions being that he offered money and
did give money to men for votes and to
control votes at the last primary cleo
ton.
The law of Alabama requires that pro-
ceedings of this kind must be instigated
by at least five reputable citizens and
taxpayers of the county who shall give
bond ir ample sum to cover all costs This
has been done. the following citizens of
Lowndes county making the charges: V.
H. Bell, G. w. L. Carr, c. 2. Rogers,
H. II. Mcpherson and A. f. Brooks.
Cases of this kind may be heard in open
session of the supreme court or by deposit
ton at the home of the witnesses in this
case. which will be a great relief to the
court and probably shorten the proceed
ings.
This case has been brewing for some
time Rumors of actions and practices of
Judge Wood not approved by some of his
fellow citizens, have been heard, and
it has been said recently that impeach-
ment proceedings would finally result.
There are many men on both sides of the
proposition. and some exciting times are
expected.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

1t is too early now to say how
much technical value will result
from the FIVE days battles which
have just been fought on the old
Bull Run feids-that will be made
to appear in the official reports
But fraternally, and possibly politi-
cally, the bringing together of somel
10000 men fEom distant parts of
the Union, who have never before
met each other, to stand shoulder
to shoulder, and hotly contest for
supremacy in spirit of patriotism
and desire to learn the art of
war, will be beneficial in many
ways. In and of itself it is a good
thing to iAtrOduce men from Texas
and Georgia, all in the United
States uniform, to men from Maine
and Vermont; to let Florida and
tennessee look into the eyes ofl
Massachusetts and New York: to
see the man with a Parker button
on his coat grasp the hand of the
man who wears a Roosevelt medal.
Outside of army circles and those
actually engaged, little interest has
been manifested in Washington in
the great maneuvres in Virginia.
On Friday your correspondent went
to Manassas and thence to the
camps. Although a battle was
raging five miles away, and the Z
caRRonading could be heard, the
camp was as quiet as a deserted !
Near Manassas we found /
soldiers from Florida, Texas, Geor- :
gia, Vermont, New York, Massachu-
setts and Fort Myer, in Virginia.
Those who remained in camp were
'ecoWering from the fatigues Of a
