complishod Professor of the University, of. Viz
ginia. The Wing snys-tio died on Saturday
morning from n wound inflicted by pistol shot on

tho following of tho circumstances that led
to this melancholy catnstrophy
''Thnrsday night was the anniversary Of a riot
which occurred afews yoarssince at the Collie Q md
which has been regularly observed by Some nc, Of
disobedience 10 the College regulations, among
those who cherish the recollection of the scene, or
who sympathIse in the factious spirit the rioters
About nine o'clock there was much disorder in the

by noises his door he went out to suppress
dividuaIs who were ,nasked. He reached forward
to raise the mask of one of Them when he retreat
ed and thu. professor following him up received
from him pistol shot which took effect-fatal il
has turned out TO be; but nj tho time it was not
considered mortal The Lall entered just below
the naval and is said to have passed around the alb
domen down the fleshy part of The thigh, whence
1t was extracted. The Pro fessor fingered in great
agony until Saturday morning about 8 o'clock
when he was relieved by death, The tragic event
has robed society Of an ornament and our principal
literary institution Of profound scholar and jurist
who has done much 10 raise it to its present elcva,

The Wing states that two students have been ar

animation to have been continued on Monday
One Of them had absconded but returned and gave

"MR. VAN BUREN's BRITISH
COACH.r

The CoNNEcTIcUT HERALD publishes
what follows, as from the correspondent
of the Boston Atlas:
"MR. VAN BUREx's BRITIsH Coach
This have seen myself, and can bear
witness TO the truth of Mr.. Ogle's state
ments. It is said that this coach was
built at Long-Acre, London, and in the
style and finish Of the richest gilded car
riages Of the wealthiest noblemen who
dash through Portland square, Portland
place, and St. James street in the British
metropolis. 1t is further said that when
Mr.. Van Buren imported his British state
coach, and splendid British carriage har-
mass, about the 18th of July, 1882, moth
ing but the breaking out of the cholera
in New York prevented such demon
stration on the part Of the coach builders
and harnass makers, of that city, as would
have made it almost hazardous for this
plain hard handed Democrat to introduce
another British state coach at the port of
New York;
II seems almost pity to deprive the
poor Wings of the smallest portion of the
luxury they most delight in-FALsEHoo
We must, however, be cruel enough once
more to spoil their feast, by saying to all
who have an appetite for such veracious
paragraphs as the above, that Mr.. Van
Buren, never imported a carriage in his
life, and that he never owned or posses
sessed one that had been built out Of the
United States; and that the story about
the British coach, like the thousand and
one falsehoods with which most degra-
ded press, and 1--WE are sorry to say it,)
an almost equally degraded party, are ev-
cry day nauseating the public taste, is in
all its parts sheer fabrication, destitute
Of all co!or Of truth; and doubtless known
to be so as well by OGLE as by his CO.

LETTER FROM GEO. McDUFFIE, |

LETTER FROM GEO. McDUFFIE,
In reply 10 an invitation to attend the
democratic state rights convention at
Milledgeville, Ga.
CHERRY HILL, June 24ih, 1910.
Gentlemen:-l have had the honor to
receive your invitation, in behalf of the
"'citizens Of Baldwin county, who are op-
posed to the election of William Henry
HARRISON to the Presidency Of the United
States,"' TO be present at the celebration
of the approaching Anniversary of Amer
ican Independence, in MiIledgevile.
Though am constrained by circumstan-
ces TO decline your invitation, concur
fully in your opposition 10 the election of
Gen. Harrison. If there were no other
objections TO his election, the audacious
and insulting position he has assumed of
refusing to disclose his opinions to the
people, on subjects of vital impor-
rance to their welfare, while asking their
sutfrages fer the highest Office in their
gift, and the disgusting mummery oflog
cabins and beer barrels, which
would disgrace the orgies of the lowest
demagogue, by which his nomination has
been heralded forth even by the highest
of his partizans, would be quite conclu-
sive with me. | consider all this a gross
and contemptuous Insult 10 the people of
the United States; and if weak superan-
uated old man, utterly destitute of quail
ications 10 sustain the dignity, or per-
form the duties of the office, could be
elected President under such auspices, |
should consider it "a reproach to our COM
mon country. But as a Southern man,
| have much graver objections 10 him.
He is National Republican, holding all
the doctrines and principals of that party;
he was nominated by that party, and will
sustain every measure which may be pro-
posed by its great leaders. Mr.. Webster
uever uttered a constitutional doctrine,
and Mr.. Clay never proposed a messure
that Gen. Harrison has not supported or
approved. In fact he will be tool in
the hands Of these two gentlemen, and
TO elect him, would be 10 adopt their prin-
ciples and measures. If southern states
men are prepared for this, cannot be-
lieve the people are. Having Withdrawn
entirely from the field Of politics, DISCUS
ted with the everlasting scramble for Office
which gives party coloring 10 every
public measure, | beg it to be understood,
that while am utterly opposed to the
election of Gen. Harrison, | am not the
partisan of Mr.. Van Buren,, though would
greatly perfer him TO his opponent. The
principles he has not only avowed,, but
maintained openly and firmly, are dear to
the South and what is equally as impor-
tant, they are the principles of his party.

A RUINED COMMERCE AND NO
MONEY.

Among the outcries for deluSion, is the
incessant exclamation of the Opposition
that commerce is ruined, and that money
is no more to be had and yet ever anon
the New York correspondent of the Ma
tonal Intelligencer informs the public that
money is abundant in New York at low
rates-that no investment can be had for
it, as there is no business doing and no.
body is to be trusted, confidence being so
utterly extirpated.
Now the facts, as shown by the returns,
proves the exports are greater, on The av-
erage, than they have been for any Sc
ries of years that can be taken in our his
tory; and ifthere were any doubt about
the activity of our commerce, of the ex-
istence of business for the investment Of
money, the following facts, which were
brought cut at the late great CUNARD
dinner, at Bosten, at which Mr.. Quincy
presided, would at once dissipate if, A
New York paper thus alludes to the state
ment Globe.
From the following paragraph in the
I
Boston Morning Post, we understand the
foreign trade Of Boston TO be in very
aourishing state:
"To what very sad state the commerce
of Boston has been reduced by this wick
ed Administration? It's tonnage is only a.
bout equal to the amount Of the whole
tonnage of England a century and hall
ago. In 1880 the number Of foreign and
coastwise arrivals was $3.50; and last
year they were only 5,S04, which is but
an increase Of little more than 1900
And then look at the account of foreign
arrivals! In the whole year of 1880, the
whole number was 042, and now in Mr.
Van Buren's administration, in the frs
six months of 1910, the whole numbe
has been only 66l for the half year
What good cause the merchants Of Bos
ton have TO make war on Mr.. Van Buren
Their foreign commerce in his Admin
istration is in six months only littl
more than equal to that Ofa whole yea
