lowing paragraph details some of the consequent
ccs Of the controversy to which we alluded in
our last, between Messrs. Archer of the House
Of Representatives, and Mr. Richie of the Rich
mond Enquirer.
Our readers are aware that controversy of a
disaSreeable character has been pending for
some time, between Mr.. VIM. s. Archer Of the
House OF Representatives and the Editor of the
Enquirer. We learn with very great regret
that on Friday evening last, Mr.. Archer assault
ed Mr. Ritchie, with a cane in front of the Bank
OF Virginia. MIR. Richie drew pistol which
was wrested from him by a third person, before
he could use it. The immediate provocation
was probably an editorial article in the Enquirer
OF that day. The Richmond papers Of Saturday
are silent on the subJect.-FTed. Dire.
As we learn by rumour, (Which travels with
as great rapidity now days as the mails did
before they were reformed into more mode
crate pace by Major Barry the eldest son of
Mr.. Richie had challenged Mr. Archer-the
challenge was accepted, and the parties went
on to the District of Columbia, to consummate
their meeting, beyond the reach of the Virginia
dueling law. The result will soon be known
and we shall also be enlightened as TO the con
duct OF Mr.. Archer, alluded to in the paragraph
quoted above from the Arena. As it now stands
he appears deserving of strong rcprobation.-
We cannot look with complacency upon resort
to " club law" either by friend or foe Mr.
Richie Junior. who is said to have called ont
MIR. Archer, is an amable and accomplished
young man, who ranked high at the University
and has since spent couple of years in foreign
travel. He is probably about three end twenty
years of age.

Only one other reference will be made
at present to your political movements
during the session Of the Legislature in
1912. AT that time, the presidential cleo
tors were appointed by The Legislature
Each house nominated ticket II the
nominations agreed, the persons thus
nominated were chosen If they disa
greed, the Senate and Assembly met IN
Joint ballot, and voted for the electors out
Of the ticket thus presented by the respec
tive houses.
On the 9th Of November the Senate
and Assembly proceeded TO nominate,
viva voce, the electors. Three tickets
were run, in each body. The result was,
the Senate nominated Clintonians, and
the house federal electors; and when these
bodies met in joint ballot, Chntonian cleo
tors were chosen. Now, sir, as mem
Der Of the Senate. (the rules requiring it,
you rose IN your place, and read oil The
names of the candidates for whom you
voted. Every man Of them was opposed
to James Madison. The late Col. Henry
Rutgers, Of the city Of New York. was al
the head Of the Madison list; you voted
against him, and all his colleagues. Gen
Root, Gen. Haight, Nathan Sanford, and
others of that class Of politicians, support
ed the Rutgers ticket Can 1t he neces
! sary to pursue this branch Of the subject
Has il not been demonstrated, beyond Thu
cavil Of the most skeptIcal, that from ISL
to 1918 you was opposed TO the part,
then in power, and 10 their measures
The statements which have been given
as TO your official acts, are derived from
! the journals Of the Senate. Your speech
in caucus, sc. if misrepresented, may be
corrected by some one Of the gentlemen
who have been named.
Your biographer says-"The sessions
Of 1913 and 1914 were peculiarly trying
The federalists then had the control Of the
Assembly, and were violent and uniform
in their opposition to the war and its sup
porters. A majority Of the Senators, with
Mr.. Van Buren,, and his able coadjutors,
Nathan Sanford and Erastus Root, at
their head, were equally infexibe." Pray
Sir, were Sanford and Root your coadjn.
tors in opposition to the war and its sup
porters" in 1875 or were you at that
time, in union with the federalsts, oppos
ing the government?
Again. Your biographer, speaking oil
the contest between the two houses in
1918 and 1914, says :-"T'his led to seq
eral public conferences, involving The jus
tice and expediency of the war; and the
conduct and merits of the national ADM
nistraton were debated, in the presence
ofthe two houses, by committees chosen
on the part of each" "In
all Of them Mr.. Van Buren, was princi

/ Cruelty to horses 1t Is usual in Eng
| land for horses which are broken down by
age or III usage, TO be employed in the
( omnibuses and hackney coaches, and one
cannot think of the ingenious aud cruel
arts oil the drivers TO force them into AN
| acton beyond their physical strength,
without Indignation and horror. One plan
"hich generally proves successful, is, to
lacerate the hide on the back or side of the
wrctched animal, and thus leave the bare
flesh and nerves exposed as mark for the
whip OF the driver. This is, in the cock
ney dialect, called ga ra,o," and we take
the following commentary thereon, from
the lips ol learned omnibus driver on the
Paddington road, which we find in a Lon
don publication. The wretch who resorts
TO such an abominable practice, deserves
the execration of every honest man:
You may take your oath there's no
thing like rae for getting the 90 out of
boss as long as there's any in him. You
call it cruel. but I'll just tell how ii is now
Your buggy gentlemen, and sich, they
takes and uses all the high courage out Of
boss, very good then they sells him TO
us, and we .Gogs the agork out of him; but
after bit he gifts whip-hardened, and
worked down, as it were, though its like
there is plenty of go in him still, if we
could only get it out. Well then comes
the use Of the rae !; and If the raw don't
come natural, by the rubbing of the traces
and sich like, why some folks will make a
raw, with bit of blister plaster, or what
not, and its mortal to see how you may get
all the rest of the work out of the boss
quite sprightly, by whipping into the ra,o
I'll he hasn't leg to stand upon, and is
good for nothing but the knacker's sham
bles. 1t may be crueiish, but it is all fair
IN the way Of trade. We buy bosses for
what work is in them; and we've a right
10 get the work out OF them, of course, or
else whats the use."
We should like to have this experiment
tired on the omnibus DRIVERS, who are in
the habit of using the rac, for about six
months, at the end of which time, thew
would be enabled to make a pretty fair
report OF the character Of the punishment.
