Removal of Disabilities,
The disability bill which passed the House and Senate of the United States last week contains the names of over two thousand Virginians, among whom are some of the most prominent men in the State. The bill has been sent to the President for his signature, and no doubt before this has become a law. There is another bill being prepared now by the committee which embraces the names of hundreds of other Virginians, and it is the impression of gentlemen in prominent positions at Washington that it will soon be acted upon. Those who are desirous of having their political disabilities removed would do well to foreward their applications to some one of the Virginia Representatives in Congress immediately.
We append the names of those residing in this and the adjacent counties which appear in the bill just passed:
Fredericksburg---John S. G. Timberlake, John M. Herndon, M. H. Bradshaw, Elliott M. Braxton, etc......

STABBED---We learn that Friday night Lawrence Whitehead a colored barber on Main street, was stabbed by Mr. Murray Hugh Bradshaw. We have not heard all the particulars and only state the occurance. The stab is not dangerous.
"Fredericksburg Herald" dated June 13, 1870
FATAL STABBING
About fifteen minutes to eight o'clock, Thursday evening last, a difficulty occurred in front of the grocery store of Wm. H. Thomas, Jr. at the upper end of Main street, brtween Murray H. Bradshaw, (white) and James Lewis, (colored) resulting in the fatal stabbing of the latter.
The facts cited seem to be as follows: Bradshaw, who is engaged in the coopering business, had formerly in his employment the colored man Lewis, whom he charged with building a fire in his shop, which he said came near burning it up, had it not been for his timely presence.
This charge the colored man denied, saying that he could prove by a Mr. Watson that he had not been at the shop that evening, and that he had not made the fire, as charged. One word followed another, when Bradshaw struck Lewis in the face; a scuffle ensued during which he (Bradshaw) drew a knife and stabbed the negro, Lewis, to the heart, killing him almost instantly. On Friday morning, at 9 o'clock, an inquest was held upon the body of the deceased, and a verdict rendered according to the testimony.
The following is the verdict of the Coroner's Jury:
Corporation of Fredericksburg, to wit:
An inquisition taken at Wm. H. Thomas', Jr., Store, in the Corporation of Fredericksburg, on the 10th day of June, 1870, before L. B. Rose, Mayor, and as such acting coroner of the said Corporation, upon the view of the body of James Lewis, (colored) there lying dead: The jurors sworn to inquire when, how and by what means the said James Lewis came to his death upon their oaths, do say that said James Lewis came to his death from two wounds in the left breast inflicted by Murray H. Bradshaw with some sharp pointed instrument, supposed to be a knife.
In testimony whereof the said Coroner and jurors hereto set their hands.
L. B. Rose, Coroner; John S. Young, Foreman; (note: can't read next three names, A. B. M.) Samuel B. Kearsley, J. W. Ford, William Johnson, James H. Roy, John G. Hurkamp, Horace B. Hall, William T. Lowery, John Hayden.
After the examination of the body, two more wounds were found, either of which was sufficient to cause death.
The jury, after holding the inquest, adjourned to the Mayor's Office to hear the testimony of the witnesses who were summoned and severly sworn. James W. Watson testified that he was sitting on the steps of the store of William H. Thomas, Jr., when he saw Murray H. Bradshaw approach James Lewis, and in rather an excited tone and manner, accused the said Lewis with making a fire in his shop, which, if he had not extinguished at the very time he did, would have burned it up. Lewis denied the charge, when Bradshaw called him a liar, and struck him in the face, and then stepped back toeard the curb-stone, when Lewis advanced one or two steps toward him, but did not strike. Heard no words pass between them; thought he saw passes between them a few moments after, as they were retreating toward the corner of the store, but did not hear the blows; saw a pistol, but no knife, in the hands of Bradshaw; they then began to scuffle , and disappeared behind the corner of the store out of view; in a few seconds the colored man, Lewis, came around the corner, approaching the witness, and putting his hands on his breast, said the damned scroundrel has cut me; commenced trembling, and sat down on the stone step at the store door and expired.
Chas. E. Bentley was examined and corroborated the statement of the witness Watson in several particulars. William H. Thomas, Jr., was in his store when he heard the noise outside, then he stepped to the door; saw the parties scuffling, but did not see weapons of any kind in the hands of either party. The balance of his testimony was the same as given by the witness Watson.
Wm. Jefferson sworn: Lives on Princess Anne street, two squares from where the stabbing took place; saw Bradshaw running by the house while he was at the window, apparantly out of breath.
William H. Thomas, Sr., was the last witness examined: He was in his son's store with his back towards the door, engaged in conversation; heard loud talking outside, and went to the door; saw the scuffle and also Bradshaw strike the negro and push him off from him; did not see weapons used; the parties disappeared behind the corner of the house, thought nothing more of it, as he had seen them before, engaged in scuffling; soon Lewis came from behind the corner, approached the store door, putting his hand to his breast, saying, as in the testimony of Watson, that he had been cut &c. Bradshaw, after seeing the effects of the stabbing, ran off up the street toward his home, making his escape before an alarm could be given, and when this was written had not been arrested. The wounds must have been inflicted whilst behind the house, and out of view of the witnesses, as none of them saw the cutting or the weapon used in doing it.

The Cahoon Jury From Fredericksburg.
Judge Guigon of Richmond, having satisfied himself that a Jury could not be found in Richmond to try Cahoon, ordered the City Sergeant to procure a tales of fifty qualified jurors from points outside and distant from Richmond--that is, tewnty-five from one locality and the same number from another. Deputy Sergeants Lee and Holzinger were accordingly sent to Lynchburg and Fredericksburg with instructions to summon the required number of talesmen from these places.
As soon as it became known yesterday morning that Deputy Sergeant Holzinger was in town "after a jury to try Cahoon" you could see men scattering and hiding, like so many mice upon an announcement that Mrs. Tabby had arrived. We hear of many ludicrous adventures and dodges. Sentinels were posted to give warning to merchants, shop-keepers, &c.--Back doors were left open for dodging out, if the "Richmond Perlice" came in at the front door. One merchant being trapped, ran upstairs, hid himself in a hogshead of old hay, &c., from which queensware had been taken, and on the retiracy of the Deputy Sergeant from his store scampered off over the river to Stafford, and probably may not have yet returned. Yesterday was also a very sick day in Fredericksburg. It was remarkable how many people had sudden attacks, or members of whose families were taken sick, rendering the absence of the heads of the house out of the question. A great many people too, suddenly became impressed with the fact that they had made up their minds, had expressed an opinion, and were theretofore, incompetent jurymen.
The following named gentlemen (29 in all) were summoned and taken to Richmond by Sergeant Holzinger, in the last night's train:
J. W. Mills, R. E. Goolrick, P. P. Burr, P. M. Bradshaw,........etc.
"The Fredericksburg Ledger" dated June 27, 1871
CAUGHT.--Out of the thirty citizens of this place carried to Richmond to serve on the Cahoon trial all returned with the exception of five, who were thought to be competent, and were accordingly invited to "take a seat". The following gentlemen compose our quota: P. M. Bradshaw, Charles Miller, W. C. Littrell, W. H. Smith, and James G. Read. We have no doubt but what these gentlemen will hugely enjoy the Fourth. Last Saturday was consumed with the examination of one witness.

I've three little angels waiting for me
On the beautiful banks of the crystal sea,
When my heart is yearning and throbbing with pain,
And I fain would clasp my darlings again.
I'll look away from this earthly strand,
To the beautiful banks of the "Better Land",
I'll think of the angels waiting there,
And offer to God a thoughtful prayer.
I've three little angels to welcome me
When I, too, shall stand by the crystal sea,
When the Great Refiner hath fitted me
In me His own image, shall clearly see,
When in the robe of Christ's righteousness
My soul shall seek the home of the blest,
On the beautiful banks of the crystal sea,
My darlings, still waiting, shall welcome me.

Notes:
There seems to be a problem with her date of birth. Her headstone, in Manassas, Va. says Sept. 13, 1833 and the Combs Family Bible says July 14, 1834. As of this date I haven't been able to find out which one is correct. It's hard for me to believe that her family celebrated her birthday at the wrong time over the years, but the headstone may be a mistake as I have found many mistakes in the headstones of family in Manassas.
The "Manassas Journal", Manassas, Va. dated October 29, 1909
Died in Brentsville on Thursday, October 21, after a long and painful illness, Mrs. V. E. Bradshaw, in the 75th year of her age. The deceased was the only and accomplished daughter of William A.(sic. should be R.) and Sarah Wickliffe Combs. She was a lineal descendant of the Wickliffes of Virginia and Kentucky, and was a niece of William A. Wickliffe, who was twice governor of Kentucky, and postmaster-general under Buchanan. At the early age of 16 she married to Dr. Walter Hore, then a young surgeon in the United States army. Six children were the result of this marriage, only two of whom survive her - Mrs. Margaret Bowen and Mr. Walter W. Hore. Dr. Hore died suddenly of apoplexy in 1873, in the midst of a reception. Her second marriage was to Mr. T. S. Bradshaw.
She leaves only one son by this union, Mr. K. M. Bradshaw. The deceased was noted in her youth for her beauty, grace and charming conversational powers, and was one of the belles of ante-bellum days, but the crowning glory of her life was her charity. "She stretched forth her hand to the poor, yea, she reached forth her hands to the needy." Wherever sorrow, sickness or poverty cast its shadow, there she brought the sunshine of her love, sympathy and beneficance. In those days "that tried men's souls" she was to the wives, widows and orphans of the Confederacy an angel of mercy and love. In her last illness, when racked with pain, if a whisper of want or suffering reached her ears every effort in her power was made to alleviate it.
She passed away calmly and peacefully to Him who has said: "Inasmuch as ye have done it to the least of these My bretheren, ye have done it unto Me."
"The pilgrim they laid in a large upper chamber, whose window opened to the sun's rising. The name of the chamber was peace, and she slept until the break of day."
