Correspondence OF the Herald


RICHMOND, Va March 13, 1915.
M. Calhoun m Riehmond-Botts for Congress
A Nep York Orator in the FieLd-Danipst.r, &c.
DEAR BENNETT


What can ! communicate, that can possibly in
terest the readers OF the Herald, from this dull
quarter Of the globe, except mere matter of fact?
| will attempt 10 give you few items, by way Of
killing an hour


First. Mr. Calhoun created little stir among
his friends here, by staying over one day on his
way South, which was taken advantage Of by Civ.
ing him private and recherche dinner, at the Elk,
change, by about twenty of his most ardent friends,
the Napoleon OF the press In these "dlgglns'' being
invited To preside, with Mr. Calhoun on his right,
and General Lamar Got Texas) on his left. Some
excellent toasts and sentiments were given, and
The party separated at early hour, to attend
select party at r. G.. SCOTS, where the eve-
ming was spent IN the most convlvlal manner by
set OF rs choice spirits as can well be egaed
together IN this region


Second. James A. Sedden, Esq was yesterday
nominated by the democrats Of this congressional
district, in opposition to the immortal John Minor
Bo,ts-who, 1t may be recoected, one night SLEPT
with John Tyei-Mr Jones having declined,
some time since, tor payate reasons, from again
entering The canvass. OF MIR Bolts, it is unneces
sary for me to speak, as he Is so well known by
Yourself and readers, having played SO distinguish
ed part in heading Captain Tyler, and advising





which was the most eff-ctua means he could have
used TO head the "Mlll Boy of the Sashes'' HIS
opponent, Mr.. Sedden, is lawyer of extensive
practice in this city and vicinity, and of the most
unblemished character and reputation; scandal
cannot point her finger TO dark spot his re-
puation professional man, otherwise. The
contest will be warmly contested but the result is
not at all doubtful-Mr. Bolts cannot carry so
heavy dead weight as Texas (allhough a pretty
good racer) on his back.


Third. Mr.. Melville, the tall democratic spouter,
par ercence, from your city, Is also here, probably
looking up political influence for some valuable
appointment for services rendered. Should he be
disappointed, 1t would be pity, as he is pretty
much of the opinion, understand, that Mr.. Polk
could not have been elected had it not been for
his dlsnterested exertlons during the canvass
Nous rerr0ns.


Fourth The Postmaster here, General Payton,
Is shaking in his shoes, and probably will not be
re-appolnted, although powerful democratic in
Huen has been brought to bear TO retain him.
Fifth. DempsteT Is giving a series of his popular
entertainments here, but with not good success
as he deserves.


Sixth, and last The trees have been n blossom
here some days, and the thermometer has been as
high II in the shade last week and several days
IN February 1t was high As "a, which has brought
forward vegetation OF everv kind, fear prema-
turey. Yours, truly,
