One of the most horrible tragedies
ever recorded was enacted at Nashville,
on Thursday evening, resulting in the
murder of Capt. M. s. Allen by III. B.
Payne, and the wounding of citizen
named Cochrane. The circumstances are
as follows: About one year ago, Allen
seduced Payne's wife. Last Winter,
Payne sued for and obtained divorce
from his wife, but he swore he would
kill Allen. About 6 o'clock on Thurs
day evening, Payne met Allen, and i'm
mediately drew revolver, firing three
times, the first shot taking effect in AL
lens shoulder. The second shot missed
Allen and wounded Cochrane severely in
the hand and thigh. The third shot
broke Aliens third rib on the left side,
passing through his heart, and, of
course, caused instant death. The af-
fair caused great excitement, as both
parties were among the Oldest and
wealthiest citizens. Payne is in Jail

LIFE AT SARAToGA.-The shoddy aris-
tocracy at Saratoga have great difficulty
in wearing their unusual advancements.
Some of them make most ridiculous work
of it-reminding beholders of premium
cattle bedecked for agricultural fairs.
One unfortunate Ounce of oleaginous
development actually went through the
martyrdom of dressing fifteen times be-
fore supper on Tuesday. A young DAM

yesterday "astonished the crowd" by ex-
claiming, "Lor ma; Nv dropped my
diament into the gravyl' A vigorous
search for the lost jewel-a stomacher
pln-was made in the kitchen refuse,
but unsuccessfully. 1t is only worth
$1,000, and papa" comes within Toodles'
definition of a gentleman. He ''don't
care darn" There is a greater crowd at
Saratoga now than ever before at this
time in the season; but less Of real, re-
fined gentility.

killed at Lockport, N. Y, Tuesday even
ing by a railroad train, which struck
him in the neck, causing death in five
minutes. Mr.. W. was Sc years of

and wide circle of acquaintance to
mourn his loss.
"A boy eighteen months old, son Of
Mr.. Ellery Chamberlin Of st. Johnsbury,
wandered on to the railroad crossing
only d few rods from the house ON Sat-

dication of the sentiment of the peopls
of Virginia, The Times is jubilant, and
asserts that those elected are as good
loyal men as their opponents. The Bull
letin, which is just as disloyal as it dares
to be, says:
"The election of yesterday simply
means that the people of Virginia, so far
at least as Richmond can be taken as a
representative of that people, turn not
with the spirit of the craven and the
renegade from opinions which their kith

INTELLIGENT CENSUS TAKBRs.-The
New York papers are showing up the
brainless character of some Of the per-
sons appointed to take the census in that
State. To the question-"What other
changes in the social condition of the
people have you observed since 1S6O2"
the enumerator of the town of Coles
vile returns the following answer:
"a majority of the people have not
been as sociable or as companionable as
previous to the commencement of the
war. They charge republicans and
abilisihionists ov being the caus of the
war and propesied their success and a
divided country But change has come
over the spirits Of their dreams they now
appear sullen and disappointed and say
little or nothing about the war"
Another says "the war widows have
been too sociable." A third states since
he commenced to "tak" the census, the
number of deaths "have not varie much, u
although there have been twelve or fif-
teen cases of the small pox.

The RICHMOND ELEcTIoN.-For Mayor.
Sturdivant received 1886 votes, and

about the same. The Unionism of both

ELECTIONS IN ENGLAND. They have
been having a general election in Eng
land, and the London correspondent of
the New York Times gives the following
interesting account of chow they do it"
in that anti-democratic country:
When the French conscript asked his
sergeant how they made cannon, "You
take hole" said he, land put some
metal around it, finish it off, and there is
your cannon" In England, when you
want an election, you build hustings
"a sort of shed with staging and
seats, with a noisy and drunken crowd
around it, hooting and yelling, and
sometimes throwing rotten eggs, dead
cats, and harder missiles, and pola an
election. For one quiet man who has a
voice to give, there are six or more who
have only noise to make, and they make
it, When a Liberal tries to speak, the
Conservative non-vOters drown his ut
terances; when a Conservative candi-
date wishes to enlighten his would-be
constituents, the Liberals are equally
free of their clamor. But as neither
Liberals nor Conservatives have any
thing to say that is of the least import
ance, as those who cannot hear might
vote, and as those who can vote have
made up their minds, and very likely
got the price in their pockets, the loss
of speeches is matter of no conse-
Quence. Cabs are OF consequence, to
bring up the voters, who generally go on
foot, but must ride to the polls. Colors,
blue and orange for the Conservatives,
and red white and blue for the Liberals,
are of Importance. Handsome four-in-
hand turnouts, with dashing liveries,
are of Importance. Open public houses
and close committee rooms, clever agents
and plenty of money are of great i'm
portance, though the Mayor has pla-
carded every dead wall with warnings
against illegal "bribing, treating and un-
der Influence" whatever that may be.
The noisy, drunken and sometimes vio-
lent mob of non-voters in English towns
strikes me as pretty strong argument
against universal suffrage, unless it can
oe shown that giving these men ballots
would save them the trouble of throw
Ing heavier and more dangerous missiles.
Ihere would be more to oribe-but COM
petition might reduce the price. Look.
ing at the election of Mill and Huges
you will say money does not ALWAYS

ing of less than $50 men, resisted sue
cessfu'ly for three days, and at length
compelled the savages to retreat. Ter

these Indians, who, it is alleged, have
resolved never to bury the hatchet until
the whites have been driven from the
