Johnson. R. W. Johnson, a well-known yonng man of Staunton, a painter by trade, died In Ashland, of painter's colio, on Monday, June 27th. at the residence of Mr.

Jos. Burden. Although among strangers, It is gratifying to his sorrowing relatives to know tbat his last moments were soothed by every attention that kind hearts and willing hands could show him. The particulars of hit sad death are given In the following letter from Miss Mary Burdett to his mother, Mrs. J.

W. Johnson Ashland, Sunday, July 3rd, 1881. Mas. Johnson we are strangers, still it is with a feeling of sympathy for yon tbat I endeavor to write this letter. It was at our house that your son died.

On Friday he got off the boat, and was very sick. He succeeded in getting to an old building on the river bank, where be lay suffering for a few hours, when some one found him there and went for assistance. He was then removed to the hotel, and remained there one nigbt. As the place was hardly suitable for one In his condition, he was brought to our house on Sunday evening. We had two of tbe best doctors in town to attend him.

They said his sickness was the painters' colic He suffered very much all day on Monday. Mother and father gave him the closest attention and care. Ma asked him If he did not want us to write to bis parents. He said no; it would only give you trouble to hear he was sick, and he would not distress you. He wished he was at home, but Ma told him to try and feel at home, and we would do all we could for him.

One of our neighbors spoke to him of dying; he only said, he would soon be up and well. We soon knew, by his manners, tbat he was a gentleman, as his conversation proved bim to be. Although we knew he was in a critical condition, we hardly thought his life would so soon draw to a close. About e'ght o'clock Monday evening he had a sinking spell. We thought he was dying.

He survived, and noticing our excitement, he said: "I am not dying; I live." From then he seemed in great pain, although he thought he would live. He grew very restless. We all knew his life was fast ebbing away. His last words were: "Raise me quickly; I feel as if I was going to draw my last breath." Only one more struggle, and all was over. It was Just 11 o'clock.

He was dressed neat and clean. We kept him two nights until we should hear from you. The answer came, to bury him here. Our neighbors came in and the minister held prayer, after which he was taken to the cemetery and laid in a very pretty place. Although your son died among strangers, still be received the kindest attention from ourselves and neighbors.

He bad no clothes with him. He told us bis trunk was in Ironton. Probab'y it will be sent you before long. I will send you his shirt-studs and a lock oi hair. These will be treasures to you.

If you receive this, please answer, that we may know you got It. Very Respectfully, Mauy "WINE OF CARDUI" cures irregular, painful, or difficult menstruation. For sale by Dr. N. Watt A Staunton.

We extend to tbe newly married pair our hearty congratulations, with many wishes for a prosperous voyage, not only across the ocean, but through life." A Virginia Editor lii-tbc River The Greenbrier Independent, famous for its marvellous "snake stories," has the following well-dressed up account of a misadventure which recently befell Mr. Richard Mauzy Editor of the "The next issue of the Stauntox Spectator will likely contain an article on the "Pleasures of a Plunge Bath in Mountain or the same idea dressed up under a similar title. Bro. Manzy loves to fish, and started from Lewisburg last Saturday to catch black bass in Greenbrier river. He told us rather confidentially how it was, but thinking it may tickle his friends to hear how he caught them we let it slip at a venture.

Finding a hole of water about fifteen feet deep he "fooled around" tbe edge a good while and didn't get a nibble. Finally, however, he "got a bite," and became totally oblivious to everything else. It was only a little tug at the little slip of the great big splash a silk hat and fishing-rod were left floating above to mark tbe place while our brother quill-driver, with bis Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes on, went to the bottom and scratched) around to hi. heart's content- Where the wily bass and catfish swim 'Neath the bending twigs of the river's brim. With fifty pounds of water in his clothing he crawled out and squatted on a stump to "drean," looking for tbe world Just like one of those little things that "rise up in tbe wather an' holler The idea of the editor of the Spectator converting himself into a street-sprinkier to water the vegetation of West Virginia! His garments were spread onton the bushes In the sun to dry.

Untying his horse to ride home tbe animal reared up fell backward, smashed the saddle all to pieces, and ran away. Brother Mauzy took up tbe river after him, puffing and sweating as he sometimes does when chasing around bis sanctum a loose idea that he wishes to catch and harness up in an editorial paragraph. To top it all off, though, be had to lead the horse back afraid, or to be more generous, feeling too miserable to ride! As editors don't have but one suit of Sunday clotbes, they ought to leave them at home when they go fishing for bass. Come back again. Brother "And thou shalt sleep Tby weariness away on downy beds Of river-moss, where the pnlses of tbe tide Shall gently lift thy hair; or thou shalt float On the soft currents that go forth and wind From isle to isle and wander to the sea."

But If the ordinance require, tbat parlies getting water from the city must be notified when it is found necessary to cut off: be water for the purposes of repair or any other purposes, then we say the ordinance is not ol served by those in charge of the water-works.

From the Charlottesville Chronicle, we learn tbat tbe venerable William Wertenbaker, who has rilled the position of Librarian of tbe University of Virginia for more than fifty years, having become too feeble to encounter the labors incident to the position of Librarian, has been retired on full pay, and Mr. Frederick W.

A Letter from Jefferson D.itls. Louisville, July Courier- Journal prints the following: "Beauvoir, Harrison county, July, Mr. Findley S. Collins Dear have received ours of the sth instant, and thank you for the kind expressions it contained. The evil influence to which you refer as causing tbe bitterness felt towards southern men, it may fairly be expected, will give way to the sober sense of tbe people if they shall, like yourself, detect the sordid motive for which stimulants are administered.

I will not, like the telegram, you cite in regard to tbe attempted assassination of tbe President, say I am thankful tbe assassin was not a southern man, but I will Say I regret he is an American. A crime black enough in itself has a deeper dye from tbe mercenary motive which seems to have prompted it. I sincerely trust the President may recover, and that the startling event will arouse tbe people to the con sideratron ofa remedy for the demoralization which a wild hunt after office is creating. "With the best wishes for your welfare, I am very truly yours, "Jefferson Davis." Cool Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, speaking of Mr. Lewis's call upon the President, says: "Among those who called subsequently was ex Senator Lewis, of Virginia, wbo is runnifg for some kind of an office, Lieutenant Governor I believe, on the readjuster or some other just erg' ticket.

The ex-Senator did not appear to have many friends around the mansion, and he met somewhat cool reception. There appeared to be no one up-stairs whom he knew, except Mr. Brown, the President's private secretary, and as Mr. Brown was out for a few moments, almost the only time be has been absent from his and the chamber of the President since the assassin's bullet was fired, Mr Lewis had to go away, not, however, without communicating the gloomy intelligence that he would call again." Capitation Readjusters don't propose and never did to remove the capitation tax. Tbey are only trying to relieve the law providing for it of that feature which requires its prepayment to entitle a man to vote.

And whs should it pot be done The existence of such a law is only tending to degrade our people, by causing them to vote for tbe party, without regard to principle, who will pay tbetr poll tax for tbem actually to sell themselves for tbe paltry sum of a dollar. Page Courier. Well, if a man will sell bis vote for the "paltry sum of a dollar" when he gets no benefit from the money, for how much less will be sell his vote when he can pocket the pelf? Riddle us this riddle before you charge that tbe existence of the law requiring the prepayment of the capitation tax is "tending to degrade our people." How the News is Springfield Bepublican calls attention to the fact that there are several striking points in the way in which the attempted assassination of President Garfield is received and interpreted. First, it is almost universally received aa an authoritative and providential summons of the nation to the reformation of the patronage, of the evils of place seeking and place-giving, and of bossing by aid of official place. Second, tbe calamity is deplored at the South as heartily as at the North.

Third, the response of Europe is for the most part intelligent and sympathetic, showing that "the united States of tbe World" is not a distant idea. The world la now at peace for the first time in some yean. The Colored Factor la Southern Politics. The New York Tribune a few months ago sent a special correspondent through the Southern States to write up Southern politics. The letters of this correspondent, with very rare exceptions, have shown him to be a man of unusual powers of observation and keen penetration, and they have always been marked by great ability and by a conscientious desire to be frank and honest.

So much to the advantage of the Southern people have his observations frequently been, that the journal which employed him has at times tried to break their force by an editorial paragraph, and bis last letter, written from Danville, Va, received the honor of a half column editorial rejoinder. In this letter the correspondent deals largely with the question of negro suffrage in Southern politics. He says that while in the towns and near them and wherever the white people greatly outnumber the colored, some of the negroes are as intelligent in regard to political matters as the average of the operatives in a New England factory town, "but even in such places most of the negro voters are entirely incapable of forming opinions or judgments of their own in regard to political principles, doctrines, or activities." He follows this opinion up with the following "If a man who owns a hundred sheep could pin a ballot into the wool of each, drive the flock to the polls, and have the ballots accepted and counted, the process would be 'voting' on the part of the sheep as truly as is the carrying of tickets to the ballot-box by multitudes of these negroes the exercise of the right of suffrage on their part. The chief difference is that the negroes have bands in which to hold the ballots which are put into them by their drivers or managers. Their mental act of 'voting' differs little from tbat of the sheep in the case supposed." Such is the voter that the National Bepublican party has given us, and when the Conservative party of Virginia in a measure mitigated the evil by imposing the Capitation Tax, a mere pittance for the privilege of the franchise, the Mahone faction comes in and hopes to lengthen its days and gather spoils by fastening this horde of ignorance more tightly upon the Commonwealth by its repeal.

If The Tribune had dispatched this out-spoken member of its staff to Richmond tbe other day to report tbe proceedings of the Mahone Convention which nominated Col. Cameron for Governor, he would doubtless have been forcibly struck by the anomaly of bearing tbat young Virginian, who never in the past let an opportunity escape to strike a blow for his State, social order and race, declare that be would be a shepherd to these colored voters, and would "lead Africa into the war." The true and Conservative people of Virginia must see to it that this and all other schemes of her enemies to degrade her are Norfolk Virginian, The Public public school system was established in Virginia by the Conservative party. That party constitutes the main strength and support of the system. It would, therefore, seem to be hardly necessary for anybody to undertake to defend the Conservative party from the charge of being the enemy of the public schools. However, as the Whig gives Colonel Tom Evans a round every day or two, we call its attention to the fact that one of the foremost Funders in Virginia, not to say the Hon.

J. L. M. only two weeks ago deliver in the Theatre in this city to an immense audience cf funders a most powerful address in advocacy of public schools, which address was received with rounds of applause by the said under audience. We will mention, also, tbat Hon.

A. M. Keiley, chairman of the State Executive Committee of the Conservative party, is also known to bave heen for years active in upholding and popularizing the public schools of Richmond. We will also note the fact tbat where the Conservative party is strongest is just where the public schools are the befit and most efficient in tbe in Lynchburg, Staunton, Danville, and Richmond. And, finally, we would ask, what would the public school system be without the support of the Funders Dispatch.

Ss 4 There was a grand demonstration in in the Main Centennial Hall of the great exhibition of the 4th of July, at which several Southern men made speeches by appointment. The Hon. J. Randolph Tucker made tbe third speech, and is reported in the Times as follows; "He began with an allusion to the assassination of the President, which, he said, bung like a pall over tbe To him, he said, the pain was doubly keen, because the wounded Magistrate was his warm personal friend. Then he spoke at length on the relations of the Declaration of Independence to the progress of liberty throughout the world.

In the progress of his remarks he made a strong declaration for tbe Union, accepting the will of the majority as law. This and many of his other remarks were enthusiastically applauded. While he was spe the Indian children arrived, and he paused a minute until they were seated, saying it was right these exercises should pause a moment in deference to the aborigines of the country." Public Sympathy July The Secretary of State furnishes ihe following with a request that it be given the widest possible circulation: Executive Mansion, I Washington, July p. M. To the Press On behalf of the President and Mrs, Garfield I desire to make public acknowledgment of the very numerous messages of condolence and affection which have been received since Satur day morning.

From almost every State in tbe Union, from the South as bounti fuily as from the North, and from countries beyond the sea, have come messages of anxious inquiry and tender words of sympathy in suoh numbers that it has been found impossible to answer tbem in detail. therefore, ask the newspapers to express for the President and Mrs Garfield the deep gratitude which they feel for the devotion of their fellow-countrymen and friends abroad, in this hour of heavy affliction. James G. Blame, Secretary of State. i The Bicbmond State says: "One beautifully illustrative thought, drawn from the overarching sky above bim, was given expression to by the Bey.

Dr. Hoge in tbe course of his very excellent speech at the citizens' meeting for condolence with the President, which we have not seen in any of the reports published of this address. Looking aloft as he hurled his vehement denunciation against tbe fell-spirit of faction, he said: 'Behold that beautiful constellation of Ursa Major as it rolls unceasingly and unchanged in position around the polar star, to which it forever points us! So should our thoughts and aspirations be directed to the pole-star ot principle, and never for a moment be diverted from their true course to follow after tbe false and vicious teachings oi fanaticism and faction, which, like yonder baleful comet, spring from one knows not wbere, nor lor what evil purpose, and disappear one knows not A Boston Divine on "The South at St. Albans, July Tbe session of the Institute of Instruction last evening was devoted to a speech by Bey. A.

D. Lloyd, of Boston, on "the South at the School." The speaker opposed any attempt to educate whites and Macks in the same school. Co-education, he said, was not to the notion of tbe southern people.
