The LOUISVILLE TRAGEDY.-From the
Courier Of last Monday, we gather the par
ticulars of the aftray and death we noticed
the same day in the Journal. The two young
men, John Herr, Jr., and John Owings. had
been intimate friends, and slept in the same
room with another young man the night be
fore the sad occurrence. In the morning
Herr missed a sum of money, and accused
Owings Of stealing it. A bitter alteration
ensued. During the day Herr purchased a
single barrelled pistol and Owings a revolver
at the same establishment. They met Sat
urday morning. Warm words ensued, and
shots were exchanged without effect. Ow-
ings Immediately shot again, the ball of his
revolver taking effect in Hers left breast
followed them with two other shots in rapid
succession, both of which took effect, one il
the left side, and the other in the thigh of
Herr, who fell, and almost Immediately ex-
pred. Herr was the son of John Herr Esq.
who was elected to the State Legislature
last year. Young Herr had served gallantly
under Gen. Taylor, and was in the prime Of
life. Owings stood transfxed to the spot,
and was arrested.

REPUTATION OF CONTRACTS.

liquidation Of Just debts by those who contract
them is crime. But has one generation right to
mortgage the property that it belueaths To another
And is poserity bound by the acts oil its predecessors
II not, who could blame the British people il they
should throw of the weight Of debt incurred by the
ambitious wars Of her rulers through many years OF
wrong and oppression s"-So,the,n Argus.
Mr.. Jefferson was the first to breach this
theory in our country but he lived to see
its iallacy. 1t would, indeed, be most sal
utary doctrine which should prevent one age,
after exhausting its own means, from drawing
on posterity for the supply Of its extrava-
gance, or the support OF its ambition. Wars
would be less ruinous, il they could no long
er be carried onupon the credit Of those who
are yet unborn. But this cannotbe There
are no lines to separate and distinguish the
generations Of a community. The stream
Of existence never stops to admit Of measure
ment. One age passes away from another
as insensibly as the twilight fades into night.
Then it is not unreasonable that we should
bear some portion Of the burdens in accept
ing the benefits Of our progenitors. For the
world is in continual progress, and every
generation receives from the past more than
it pays. The enjoyments we possess are
but the gradual accumulation of benefits
which one age has transmitted to another.
There is no danger that posthunous obliga-
tons will crush the energies Of a new race.
The average duration Of the same genera
ton Of men is, according TO the latest est-
mate, calculated to be about eighteen years
and three quarters, and at the end Of that
time majority Of those who contracted have
passed away If 50, according to the doc
trine which would justify Republication Of State
debts at home, old contracts would be no
longer binding. It is difficult to see, if the
theory be admitted, why the debts Of to-day
should be binding even year hence, for as
fresh generation succeeds to generation, every
year brings forward a large proportion Of men
wholly exempt from the obligation Of paying
principal or interest, and mere majority has
no right to bind those, This, as has been
said, is one Of the ingenious speculations with
which Mr.. Jefferson amused his literary leis-
ure while as a statesman he made treaties
binding the United States to an indefinite
period, amounting in a single case to fifteen
millions Of dollars, without so much as con
sidering what posterty might think it.
This same posterity, however, is luxuriat-
ing in the enjoyment ofthe legacy, and would
not part with it for all the cost multiplied a
million times -Nepmk (N. j. } Ado.

THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURES.

Fauquier Springs, on Saturday night,a pleas

room has been quite commodiously fitted up

ment Of that decomposition that the morbfc inIiu-
ence, II any, is impressed upon the organism. This
impression, once made, the series Of morbid pheno-
mena to which 1t gives rise must be met by the
siaeE merely chemical antldoe Is no longer OF any
avail.
The present position OF the question, then, mny be
shortly summed up as follows:
II has been stated by Schmnbein as the result Of a
few experiments, that during the prevalence Of intiu-
enza In his vicinity, his esl-slrips were more
rapidly and deeply coored on exposure TO the atmos-
phere than at other times.
Of influenza.
Cholera, in northern climates, having been very
generally preceded by epidemic OF Influenza has
been hence concluded that these Two diseases depend
upon common cause, and that that cause IL ozone.
hypothetical cause having been thus discovered,
Il IL further supposed that the chemical antidoe TO
the calse Is the proper remedy for the effect.
II has been assumed, with how little reason we
have already seem that sulphur is the especial and
peculiar chemical antidoe 10 ozone, and hence that
both cholera md influenza are TO be prevented and
cured by the internal administration Of sulphur.
viii only add, in conclusion that however much
our allopathic friends may be bewildered and led
away by newspaper reports Of wonderful resurrec-
tions under the use Of sulphur, thanks to polar
star, the law OF simude, we are In no such danger.
If there be any drug In the pathogenesis OF which the
records Of our school are especially rich II Is certain
ly sulphur, and the homeopathic physician, In con-
sultng them, will never be at loss TO know before
hand what will be proited by Its ndministra-
tion, and what will need other Of the rich and
varied contents OF our mat ria medca.

NURSING CHOLERA PATiFNTs.--ln the
address of the New York Board Of Health,
il is stated that there is no reason to appre-
bend danger Of contagion from cholera.
This IS an important fact that cannot be too
well ascertained nor too generally made
known as, Invested Of its contagious char
acter, the disease is robbed Of half its ter
rors, and those whose friends are attacked
are enabled to use their best exertions in
combating it, unsppaledby the fear OF self
sacrifice.

number, before the war, was two. It was not

this condition. No appointments can be made to
fill their places. The Brgadiers of the line are
now-Gen John E. Wool, whose commission dates
June %, 1871, and Gen. David E. Twiggs. June
80, 1916.
The command of the two Divisions of the Army
was assigned, by the late General Orders. to The
senior Brigaders-the selection between them TO
be made by the elder. At the time of issuinc the
orders, the two seniors We're Gaines and Wool, and
the selection had been made by Gen. Gaines of the
Eastern Division, headquarters at Baltimore. This
Division had therefore fallen to Gen Wool.
although he had not yet taken command. Since
the death of Gen. Gaines, the Divisions will be
commanded by Gems. Wool and Twiggs, and the
choice of the two will belong to Gen. Wool.
