From the Richmond Enquirer.l


~ O644O11s
The undersigned were surprised to sec in the
Richmond Wig of Thursday morning last, in a
"Card" over the signature of G. Irving, most
lunwarrantable and false statement in relation
to the private charactero Judge John W. Brock
enbrough. Were it not for the fact that Judge
Brockenbrough is prominently before the peo-
pie of the State as candidate for the nomina-
ton for the office of Governor, and the fact that
the Card referred to may be read by those who
neither know the Judge personally, nor the wri-
ter of the Card, it would be entirely unneces-
sary to take any notice of it whatever; but such
being the case we deem it our duty, as intimate
acquaintance of the Judge for the last five
years. and eye-witnesses of the transaction spo-
ken of in Iryings Card, to mako this statement
in order to correct any misrepresentation that
may arise in relation to the facts in the case,
from perusal of the said card. This statement
is made on our own responsibility, without adj
vising with the Judge in the matter, knowing
that he treats the foul imputation with silent
contempt.
The assertion that the Hon. John W. Brock
Ienbrough is q man of dissipated habits, is news
to those who have known him longest and
best; and although eminently socialin his ma
ture, no man dare stand up in community
where he is known and appreciated, and make
such charge. The man who would presume
to do such thing, would at once be branded as
an infamous liar and traducer of the character
of one of Virginia's noblest sons.
In relation to the s'breach of the peace in as
saulting Minister Of the Gospel" charged
against the Judge, we have to say, that instead
of being desperate and malicious assault, as
this man would have the public believe, it was
simply resentment of an insult offered and
repeated, and was done from an earnest con-
viction of duty to himself and family, and not
from a desire to do personal violence. A large
majority of this community entirely exculpated
the Judge from any blame in the matter, and no
man regretted more deeply than he did himself
the necessity of the act. The assertion that the
Judge was drank at the time of the occurrence
and that this was the plea offered by him and
his friends, as palliation of the act is as base
falsehood as ever was uttered by foul ira
Queer of the character of honorable men. We
state it upon our sacred honor, and can produce
fifty witnesses to substantiate our statement,
that the Judge was as entirely sober as any
man ever was at the time of the occurrence, and
acted in the wholematter as high-toned hon
orable gentleman should do
Thousands of the people of Virginia who
know Judge Brockenbrough personally and re-
gard him as splendid specimen of-that noblest
class of men-the Virginia gentlcman-will
brand this foul aspcrsion on his character as a
malicious falsehood, and the author of it an un-
prncipled slanderer.

IMPORTANT LAND Sur IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
"A heavy land suit is being tried in the Circuit
Court of Kanawha County, Virginia, in which
Messrs Emile and Charles Dumas, E. Lacouture
and Dduc de Mousignon, are all suing each 9TH
er for piece ofland, of which the Kanawha
Star gives the following history:
ut appears that in the year 1881, Col James
Swan of Boston, died in Paris France, seized
and possessed of very large tracts of land lying
and situated in the counties ofRandolph, Hnrri-
son, Wood, Kanawha, Green Briar, Bath, w.
Ter, Logan, Boone, and other counties West Of
the Allegheny Mountains, in Virginia. That
these tracts, in the aggregate, contained up
wards OF two million acres of land. That after
the death of CO.. Swan, these lands became
forfeited to the Commonwealth, for non-pay-
ment of taxes, amounting to some $4,000. In
the year 1888, it was made known to the
General Assembly of Virginia, that COL Swan
had rendered service to the United States, in
our Revolutionary struggle with Great Britain,
had become indebted in large sums of money to
officials of the French army, and his old COM
ranion in arms, and has in his last will, directed
that his large landed estate in Virginia should
be sold to pay his creditors the money thus
borrowed. These facts being made known, the
Legislature of Virginia very generously and
magnanimonsy, on the 18th day of March, 1888,
passed an act conveying all the lands forfeited
to the State, as before mentioned, to one John
Peter Dumas in trust, for the benefit of the
creditors of James Swan, which creditors were
mostly Frenchmen, residing in France"
The itigants all claim to have bought the
claims of the French creditors to a greater or
less extent, and are suing each other and Josiah
Randall-that gentleman having claim of
$4,000 against the land, as trustee appointed
by tho Kanawha Court. The suit will soon be
decided.
