mingled emotions Of pleasure and saInessw hieh
have been awakened in reading the following

Roanoke send it to you republication, that the
readers OF the Union and the public generally may
share in the sorrowful qualification in its perusal
II proyes beyond question that, whilst from disease
and other causes Mr.. Randolph exhibited on some
occasions an rascible and peevish disposition his
heart was nevertheless the depository oil some oil
the finest and noblest feelings of which our fallen
nature is capable. l do not accord FULLY wlthsall
the sentiments he has here expressed; but in its
general tenor and spirit, the letter hrs my most
hearty apnrobaton. II is a beautiful specimen Of
raternai sympathy expressed in terms OF tenderness
and proprety which have never seen excelled.
It was written to his half brother, the Hon. Henry
St George Tucker, on the occasion OF the demise
Of his eldest son. youth of singular promise, pos
sessing largely the personal and Intellectual atrac-
tions Of his accomplished father. 1t is proper to
remark that the letter was found among the private
napers of the distinguished gentleman to whom II
was addressed by his son, John Randolph Tucker,
of Virginia. Hoving been long associated with the
family of Judge Tucker in terms OF intimate Tlena-
shin. have obtained permission from MIR. Beverly
Tucker, Of this city, to dispose of this commum-
cation as nav Judgment and sense OF proprlety might
dictate l therefore send it to you for publication
and bcspeak for it especially the attention oil those
who, in the days of other years. were associated
with its distinguished author IN the relanons oil
personal and political friendship.

TIE LAST OF INTERVENTION, "a Ia
THE PIPER.

It was fondly thought, no doubt, bymany of our
tax paying citizens, when the, enormous expenses
incurred by the Common Council for the entertain
ment of KoSsuth and suite were footed by that
body, (although. it is true. notwithout some little
compunetion) that that would be the last and that
our city treasury would not be taxed to greater
extent on that sc0e but II would seem aslt in TINS
hope Gas in many Others Of like character) they
were doomed 10 disappointment, to', even at tins
day, wi en- KoSSuth is well nigh forgotten, we aTr
treated to small bill for board, &C., at the irving
House. This bill. amounting 10 only S3,SUO) was
presented to the Board of Aldermen, on Monday
evening, in the shape Of resolution authorizing
the Comptroller 10 pay It; which resolution was re-
feTred by THE Board to The Committee on Finance,
who reported last evening" in favor thereof and
which report was adopted. 1t would seem that the

was one, appointed that gentleman, with one OF

each; but when Mr.. Howard sent in his bill Tor
S14 1888 81 for fifty days board, (from the nth OF
November to the 31st of December)-beingo only
1886 per day-the Committee were quite taken
aback and sent for the Mayor for an explanation,
which he gave-averring that Mr.. Howard then
said thathe was misunderstood, and told the mayor
tlpo doHers per day instead of per t0eek.
After some considerably delay, Mr.. Howard
agreed 20 reduce his bill $1,000, thus effectng a
compromise. The Committee, then, as II afraid
to expose the who matter to the public, asked an
appropriation of only $4,000, giving out that it
was to pay Mr.. Howard in full--and with this UNI

appropriation who would not have done soil it had
been known that there was nearly half as much
again to be paid at some future day-which s10,

on account.
The followingi is the bill, verbatim, by which it
will be easily seen how the account actually

" The following law case was decided in New
York city few days since. Itpossesses more than
local interest, and point of law, very important
to advertisers and subscribers, is very clearly laid
down:
James Watson Webb, Esq, brought an action
against Mr.. Henry J. IbbotSon, 10 the charge
for inserting an advertisement in the Courier and
Enquirer. The advertisement was loaded, and
published on the inside page, and it proved for
the plaintiff that the usual charge fer advertise
mentS so published, was 50 for each insertion,
which amounted to about $500. For the defence
it appeared that the defendant was an annual sub
scriber and advertiser at $40 per annum, and that
his agent, when ordering this advertisement to be
inserted directed the plaintiffs clerk 10 leave out
defendants other advertisements as payment for
the one in question. 1t was, however, commended
on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant
could not be ignorant that an advertisement pub
lisLed in the form that this done, did not come
under the defendants privilege of inserting GER
tain amount of advertisements as $40 subscriber.
The Court charged the jury. 1t is said the ad-
vertisement was inserted in an xtraordlnaty man
and kept in conspicuous place, and was seen
there by the defendant, and it is said that the fact
of his having seen it there, ought to charge him
with paying for it. And if so, it ought to charge
him with it, unless he saw nothing extraordinary IN
it; in which case it was not necessary fol- him to
say anything about it. Buff he saw it, and knew
that il was inserted in more conspicuous place
and form, than advertisements usually are, then he
was bound to notify the plaintiff that it was not
his intention to have 1t SO inserted. IT man sub
scribes for paper, and is sent longer than he
dered it. he should give notice of it, as he should
not expect to enjoy the benefit of the paper with
out paying for it And if, in this case, the adver-
tisement was inserted in an extraordinary form and
conspicuous place, which should enhance the
charge for it. and the defendant did not intend it
to be so, he should have notified the plaintiff or
his agent that there was amistake in the matter.
Verdict for plaintiff 1918, being the full amount
claimed, with interest. 40 s; +s

The .Pateuburgh Intelligencer, of Monday
gives the particulars of outrage Of more than
ordinary horror, which occurred on Sunday in that
city, and which we announced few days ago, by
telegraph. Some days since a man by the name
of Sadler.waS committed 70 the Peters buTgh Jail
.on charge of slave stealing and locked up with
John Jones, horse thief, and Boyle, all Irishman.
Sunday morning, after furnishing these prisoners
with their breakfast two Of the guards Of the jail
turnedaEvay do the same for the colored prison
ers in opposite cell, leaving the former at iber-
ty to come into the passage. Just as the officers
were locking the door of the negro cell, SadleT,
who had previously told his companions that he in
tended to gain his liberty at all hazards, and Jones
rushed out of the passage and locked the officers
in. Sadler, who had six-barreled pistol in his
possession, by what means does not appear, shot
negro, George, servant in Jail, and rushed to the
outer door, which he ordered Joel SturdeVant,
standing by it, 10 unlock under penalty OF being
shot. ar. S. stepped aside, and Sadler shot him
dead. He then, accompanied still by Jones, fed
from the prison. They soon after separated, Jones
going to Chesterfield, where he was soon after ar
rested and brought back. Sadler went TO Prince
George County, where he was caught by Mr.. Led
better. He refused to return to PeterSburgh. on
which Mr.. L, told him, al will shoot you If you
don't CO., Sadler replied, "Charley, love you
and will not hurt you''-Iaised his pistol to his
head. snspped it twice Intellectually, but the third
time bullet passed through his brain and he fell
dead. George, the colored man lies in a very
