MORE FACTS AND FIGURES, As the figures are produced from the different counties giving the re sult of the last election in Virginia, they show with emphasis how un founded and grossly slanderous was Mahone's cold-blooded and base at tack upon the people of that State. We published a few days ago an article from the Eichmond Dispatch giving the aggregate vote at the last election as compared with the two previous elections, and showing the increase of the vote cast by both par ties as an answer to the charge of in timidation. We herewith reproduce from the same paper an extract giv ing the official returns from a num ber of counties especially referred to by Mahone as counties in which in timidation and force prevailed. There is no answer to figures like these, which tell their own story with a force which volumes of -writing could not increase. Thus the figures stand : In Pittsylvania county, in which Danville is situated, the Coalitionists, or we might say the negroes, there being only a few hundred white Ma honeites in that county, increased their vote from 2,895 in 1882 to 3,547 in 1883. In Henrico county, in which Rich mond is situated, the Coalitionists in creased their vote from 1,481 in 1882 to 2,162 in 1883. In Halifax county, adjoining Pitt sylvania, and one of the counties named by General Mahone as those in which the negroes had been intim idated, the Coalitionists increased their vote from 2, C10 m 1882 to 2,985 - in 1883. In Hanover, another of the counties named by General Mahone as the scene of violence and intimidation, the Coalitionists increased their vote from 1,008 in 1882to 1,641 in 1883. In the county of Charles City, an other of the counties libelled by Gen eral Mahone. the Coalitionists in creased their vote from 481 in 1882 to 611 in 1883. In the county of Floyd, another county libelled by General Mahone, the Coalitionists increased their vote from 668 in 1882 to 1,247 in 1883. In the county of Augusta, another of the counties libelled by General Mahone, the Coalitionists increased their vote from 2,014 in 1882 to 2,249 in 1883. In the county of Lee, another coun ty libelled by General Mahone, the Coalitionists increased their vote from 732 in 1882 to 1,290 in 1883. These are all the countie ; except Charlotte named by General Mahone. In Charlotte the Coalitionist vote fell off froml,237 in 1882 to 1,072 in 1883. iut in Charlotte county there was at least one Democratic negro club, and at every precinct a smaller or larger number of negroes voted the Demo cratic ticket. Mahone was never suspected of being actuated by any conscientious scruples in his political ambition, but his utter baseness is established when his slanderous assertions are con fronted with cold facts and figures like these. The announcement of the death of of Col. A. P. Bennett, one of the as sociate editors of the Richmond State, will be read with profound regret by those who knew him, and esteemed him not more for his clever personal traits, brilliant talents and sparkling wit, than for the modesty that shrank from notoriety, and was content with duty well performed. For years he was one of the brightest lights of the Richmond press, whose columns Bparkled day after day with the scin tillations of his wit, and the creations ornistancy. Sleep well, true and urea worker. it ib uaia that nearly 36,000,000 trade dollars have been coined, of which 30.000,000, or thereabouts, are in China and Japan, and are carefully noaraea Dy the natives. Of the 6. 000,000 in America nearly all is held Dy speculators who bought them con fiiderably below par. and are now tnaking up a strong lobby to induce Congress to redeem them and convert hem into standard silver dollars. WASHINGTON. 9 ' The New Court ol Claims JuJge In structions Cabled to Our Naval Com mander on . the Asiatic Station. Other Notes. Washington, D. C, Nov. 21 The President to-day appointed Lawrence Weldon of Illinois. Judge of the Court of Claims. Joseph H. Blackfan, Superintendent of Foreign Mails, died this evening. As a result of the Cabinet's deliber erations on the strained relations be tween France and China, .the Secre tary of State, has pent a cable mes sage to the officer in command of the naval force on the Asiatic station containing instructions as to the course to be pursued by him for the protection of xYmerican interests in case of open hostilities between the the two countries, It is not desired nor advisable to make known the contents of the message at present. In the matter of the grants to the State of Alabama within intersecting limits of Alabama roads, not likelv ever to be constructed, the Secretary of the Interior has authorized certi fication of all granted lands for pur poses of identification. The power of the State to dispose of the same be ing held to have attached within such limits, notwithstanding the pro viso in granting the act, declaring that lands granted for each of the roads severally shall only be applied to the construction of that particu ar road, for which they were granted and for no other purpose whatsoever. He holds that the restriction of the proviso finds ample scope in apply ing it to those portions of the sev r'al roads now within intersecting limits of the lands of which have no com mon relation to other grants made by the act, and may not be diverted by the State from the purpose of their appropriation. NoConfiJrr.ee in the Grand Jury. New Orleans, Nov. 23. After the grand ju: y was called yesterday, District Attorney Finney moved they be discharged. He said he meant no reflection upon any individual but had heard on the streets more about the workings of the jury room than he could learn m the court build ing. The public he said had lost con fidence in the grand jury as a body and he shared that feeling. Judge Lusenberg therefore discharged the grand jury without ck lay. It is un derstood the assertion of interested parties on the street that the rand jury in Kate Townsend murder trial having stood divided as to a question of murder or manslaughter had something to do with the action of the officials in having them discharged. Judge Lusenberg will select another grand jury and the Syes Townsend murder case will be passed upon by thorn. - - . - A Southern Telephone Company. Washington, Nov. 24.

If you have any blood diseases or skin humor it is your duty to yourself and posterity to take the only vegetable cure, which ia Swift's Specific. Swift's Specific has relieved me of malarial blood poison after I had been confined to the house for five mom!!? and had been dosed with blue mass and calomel and other poisonous drugs un til I was in despair. Swift's Specigc is the remedy for this kind of blood poison. C. M. Clark, Agent Southern Life Insurance Co., Atlanta. Ga. FOR I.AOIES. I have been using for a month or two in my household, Swift s Specihc (b. b. S-), the greater portion o it having been consumed by the fern? e portion of my family, and with the happiest re sults. It acted like a charm on my wife, who had been in bad health for a longtime, and for whom I have paid hundreds of dollars for doctors and medicines; It began to build her up from the first dose. Another female member of my family took it with equally satisfactory results. It is cer tainly the best tonic for delicate Lid ie that I have ever used, and I have tried them all. I have no doubt that want t exercise, close confinement in poorly ventilated houses, sewer gas poison and malarial poison often produce sickness among our wives, daughters and sisters, and I believe Swift s Specific is the rem edy for all this sort of blood poisoning F. L. JONES, J. P. Quitman. Ga. TREATMENT OF CARTER. For twenty years I have suffered from a cancer on the side of my back near the shoulder and exhausted the whole catalogue of remedies without any relief. The cancer growing worse all the time, the wholelupper part of mv body became stiff and full of pain. 1 had virtually lost-the use of both arms, my general health had broken down, and 1 saw it was only a question of time when life itself would be destroyed, in this condition I commenced the use oi Swift's Specific. The first bottle re lieved me of the stiffness in the neck, the second gave me perfect use of m arms, and I feel strong and well m ererj way. I am a poor man but I would not takfl SKOnn for the good I have expe- Lrienced with Swift's Specific. I believe it will force out an ine poirwu o. - me W. K.
