The Killing of DR.. George Martin.


On Monday night, the End inst, Federal
officer, Lieut. Kief, shot and killed DR.. Mar
tin instantly, and also shot off the end Of
Mrs. Jesse L. Heiskell's finger. This oc-
Cured at the residence of Mr. Heiskell near
the North Garden about Is miles Southeast
of Charlottesville on the Lynchburg road.
The Charlottesville Chronicle furnishes the
following account Of the tragedy:
"About haf-past one o'clock, Mr. Heis-
kell Jour statement comes at second hand
from Mr.. HeiskelD was reused by an uproar
in his yard-shouting and shooting. lie got
up from his bed and went to the window of
his chamber (up-stairs,) and raising the win
dow, inquired, Who was there? The an
swer was ''Federal officers-come to arrest
Mr.. Heiskel." He replied, II am Mr..
Heiskell." Some one continued to swear
and knock at the door, still crying out, 81
want Mr. Heiskell.'
There was a ladder against the house, and
the party (who seems to have been Lieut..
keif) who was making the noise, assembled
this ladder, and landed in the upper porch.
DR.. George Martin the brother-in-law of Mr..
Heiskell. had been aroused. and had lust
gone out into this porch Keif said to him,
IL want Mr.. Heiskell' DR.. Martin said,
DWELL, there is Mr.. Keiskell' Kief re-
peated II want Mr.. Heiskell" DR.. Martin
said, "Well, there he is-what do you want
with him P' Kief hereupon fired pistol at
Dr. Martin, the bali entering the ear, and
passing through his head. Dr. Martin fell
and died instantly, Mrs. Heiskell (who was
standing at the window by her husband,
threw up her hands involuntarily, and Keit
fired second time at the window, the bal
shooting off the eEd of Mrs. Heiskell's finger
Mr.. Heskel instantly touched spring. and
let down the window, when third bal
passed through it. Mrs. Heiskell rushed
out into the porch to her brother, whom sht
had seen fall, and Kief snapped his pistol a
her-having probably discharged all of hi
barrels
By this time another member of the mill
tary party had assembled the ladder, and see
ing what had transpired, exclaimed, "Boys
this is no place for us-we had better ge
away from here" The party accordingl,
left, without arresting Mr. Heiskell.
About light, however, they returned, an,
Kief was still violent, and said, che woult
have that man Heiskel." Mr.. HeiskelI hat
gone out to get assistance from his neighbors
! About this time, Capt. Foster, from Rich
mond, who had also been sent to arrest Mr.
Heiskell, arrived on the ground He imme
diatey explained to Lieut.. Kief that he wa
Captain in the United States service
showed him his papers, and informed hin
that he was under arrest. He ordered hin
to disarm, and to disarm his party-all o

Admission of Southern Members,

The Washington Correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says that zone who has
made careful inspection of the whole list of
Congressman elected as Republicans, and
who is competent to judge, expresses the
firm conviction that three-fourths, at least,
will endorse the President, and vote side by
side with Democrats and known Conservative
Republicans in favor Of the admission of the
Southern Representatives.
The truth is, the more honorable and Con-
stitutonaEloving among the Republicans are
completely disguised with this eternal agita-
tion and opposition to wise measures of res
toraton, and it is this very thing that has
driven them from further association with the
extremists

LOYAL Hen and Disunionists.

AS ours is Republican Government, at
least in form, and should be so in fact, the
term loyalty is not properly applicable, as,
upon our theory of Government, the people
are the s)0ereigns, and those entrusted with
offices are only the agents or servants of the
people. But waving the propriety Of the use
of the term, we would ask, "who are, in real
ity. the truly loyal? Loyalty is not due to
Congress, or any other branch of the. Govern
ment, but to the Constitution Of the United
States, and those who are tie staunch friends
of that great chart are the truly loyal, and
those who are willing to violate the provis-
ions of the Constitution are disloyal. Fidel-
ity to the Constitution is the true test of 10y
atty.
We would also ask, 'Ewho are the real dis
uniQnists at this time 2" Those who are OPP
posed to recognising the Southern States as
members of the Union are disunionists, and
those who are in favor of recognizing them as
members of the Union, and willing, conse-
quently, to accord to them equal rights, un-
der the Constitution, with the other States,
are the true friends OF the Union. AS strange
as it may seem, the people Of the South, who
have been trying to destroy the Union, are
now IFS best friends, and most anxious for it's
reorganization, whilst the radical republi-
cans, who have been SO blatant for the pres.
-ervaton Of the Union are now the disunion>
lists, laboring to prevent the restoration Of
the Union.

IN OR OUT OF THE UNION.

The State of Virginia is either ia OF out of
the Union. If Virginia is an the Union, she
is entitled to all the rights which The Consti-
tuition Of the United States guarantees to the
several States comprising the Union. If she
is out Of the Union, she is entitled to perfect
freedom and independence, and has the right
to adopt such rules of Government as may
suit herself. If she is not member of the
Union, she is not entitled to elect any one to
represent her in the Congress Of the United
States.
The administration of Mr. Lincoln made
war upon the people of the States which
passed ordinances Of secession, because it de-
MED the right of secession, and considered all
ordinances Of secession as mere utilities
that, in spite of such ordinances, the States
claiming to secede were still IN the Union,
and under obligations to obey the laws of the
United States. If the administration had
recognized the seeding States as being on
of the Union, it would have acknowledged
by such recognition, that 1t had no right tc
make war upon the citizens Of those States
The war upon the South has no justification
save upon the theory that the States claiming
to secGde were, all the time, States IN the
Union
If this theory be correct, (and it has beer
so decided by the stern arbitrament to which
the question was submitted) then the South
ern States were, during the war, and still are,
4" the Union, and, consequently, entitled tc
all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution
to the several States of the Union.
This being 50, it becomes the duty of every
citizen to claim the rights guaranteed tt
them by the Constitution. The only restric
lions which can be rightfully imposed upon
the liberties of the people are those embraced
in the Constitution of the T. S., and the
laws passed in pursuance thereof, not in vio
ldfioa thereof. But some say, we are a co n
quered people, we are governed by might, we
are helpless, we are in the power of those
who have no regard for the Constitution, that
it is folly to talk about our Constitutional
rights, that we should meekly acquiesce in
whatever the dominant party should do,
however violative of our Constitutional rights,
We do not concur with those entertaining
such sentiments. We believe that we should
contend in proper spirit-the spirit of peo-
pie "who know their rights, and knowing
dare maintain for all the rights guaranteed
TO US by the Constitution, and we have faith
that they will be obtained, If the proper
course be pursued. They never will be &C.
corded to US if we do not claim them A
people willing to surrender their birthright
do not deserve to enjoy it.

Governor Brownlow, in his message to the Ten

The recent decision of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, that brokers who buy and sell for
others on commission are Dealers and liable to pay
the same tax as merchants, will probably destroy
the business of very useful class, who, for a
small commission, say one half of one per cent,
make purchases and sales of iron, groceries, oil,
cotton, etc. They cannot afford to pay the same
tax that regular dealer in drugs, hardware, gro
ceries, etc., could, as the profits materially
different. We think the true defn ition of deal
or is one who buys and sells on lis own account
and at his own risk.

Stamp Tax en- Marriage License.

Ministers of the Gospel are required by
law to afflx five cent stamp to each cirtiG-
cate Of marriage they may return to the
clerks Office. This is necessary before it can
be admitted to record. A failure to affix the
stamp to any instrument of writing requiring
the same, subjects the party executing such
instrument to penalty of two hundred dol
lars.
1t is also the duty of parties getting mar
ried to enclose ONE DOLLAR to the printing
offices where they have their marriages pub
lished. Ministers should remind the Chap
Ply Grooms' of their duty in this respect.

Robbery by a Brig. General,

On Friday week, in Lynchburg, Gen. J. C.
Briscoe, in command Of the sub-district of
was arrested, and sent in irons to
Washington City, and confined in the Old
Capitol prison, charged with robbing large
sum Of money from the safe of the Quarter
master, Maj. NJ. II. Alberger. The theft
was committed while Maj A. and his clerks
were at dinner, aud the safe was entered by
means of false key. The robbery was wit
messed by a detective, and while Gen Bris-
coe was placing the money in his own trunk,
he was arrested.
The Lynchburg Virginian says that "Gen-
eral Briscoe was an officer Of good standing,
had fought himself up from the ranks, aud
enjoyed the confidence Of his superiors and
associates. He was an Irishman by birth,
a graduate Of Dublin University, and seemed
to bea man of accomplishments But by one
false step all the fair fabric of fame and hon
or mat years Of toll and danger had reared for
him is shattered, and he stands before the
country a common criminal awaiting the
criminals DOOM"
An account giving some further particulars
Of the robbery says:
1t appears that of the stolen funds, rep
resentug altogether about forty thousand
dollars, all but three thousand dollars in gold
was worthless paper. which was nut IN the
place whence it was distracted as decoy after
the war department had learned of the con-
spiracy to commit TIE robbery in which it is
charged that General Briscoe and the sutler,
Lackey, were engaged.

Negro Suffrage Defeated in Connecticut.

The amendment to the Connecticut Consti-
tuition to permit negroes to vote was voted on
in that State Monday week, and defeated by
from FIVE to seven thousand majority.
f the few negroes in the nutmeg State
are denied suffrage by the voice of the peo-
pie of that State, with what reason can they
ask the South to grant suffrage to the mil
lions of negroes in the South who have just
emerged from state Of bondage. Has SER
vitude qualified them to vote? Can millions
who have just been changed from slaves to
freedmen be entrusted with the elective fran
chise, whilst the few colored freemen in
Connecticut, who have been free a long time,
cannot be -? It is absurd, unless bondage
qualities and freedom disqualifes.
