DEADLY AryRAY.-A terrible shootins

DEADLY AEBRAY.-A terrible shooting
ARRAY occurred ia The Ormsby House at Carson
City, Nevada, February I'd, between n. V.
Barnhart and Thomas Peasley, and resulting
in the death of both parties. Rarnhart was
the attacking party at the time. After
Pessley bad received two Shots one of which
passed through bis body. he exhibited great
strength and nerve, seizing and throwing bis
assailaut from him With such force as 10 thrust
him through the door of the card-room, and
then, though dying, he drew his pistol and fred
three shots, when, weak aud faint from his
mortal wounds, be staggered to the opposite
side Of the room and fell upon the floor 1t
was found that Barnhart had received pistol
ball in the heart, and died instantaneously In
regard to this affair, the Carson Appeal says !:
There is q history connected with this
terrible occurrence, to which it may be we'll TO
briefly allude. Last Winter, while Peasley
was Sergeant-at- Arms of the Senate, Nathsniel
Squaires who is DOW in the States Prison
under conviction Of the crime OF arson,
approached q crowd 10 which Peasley was
standing, and declared be could whip any id
abolitionist-or words to that effect. From
some cause or other, Peasley confounded
Barnhart with Squares, and upon meeting
him, soon AFTER in the St. Charles Saloon,
attacked him and fred several shots at him,
without serious effect Out of this there grew
. grudge which Barnhart cherished, and, on
meeting Peasley one day at the Glenbrook, he
challenged him to fight with pistols. 1t was
Peasley's refusal to engage in this combat that
Barnhart alluded to when be first accosted
Peasley, yesterday morning. The victims Of
this tragedy were both strong. vigorous men,
in the very perfection Of physical health and
manhood. Peasley has long been prominent
resident of Virginia City, and enjoyed much
popularity among his acquaintances. Barnhart
was quite young man, being scarcely twenty
four years of age, and had be been given to
better habits and guided by more commendable
impulses, might have been a useful member
Of society. As it has terminated, be has paid
the terrible penalty of a reckless life and
revengeful spirit. This is another of the many
sad commentaries which are presented to us
upon the vicious and dangerous practice of
carrying deadly weapons and bringing them
into use in the settlement of trivial personal
grievances"
Peasley was o native of New York, aged
about 36 years. Barnhart was native of
Indiana, aged about "a years.

TEE OLD Doxrs1ox-A Tennessee paper

TH. OLD Dox1S1oS.-A Tennessee paper
comments as follows upon the recent action
Of the Virginians: The Virginia abstraction
isss were always clsmorous over their lost
rights, and they have lately discovered that
they have lost another right. Holding that
every State has right to be represented in
Congress, and that Virginia, whether in rebel
lion or not, was still State, they have come
to the conclusion that Virginia has q right TO
be represented in the Federal Congress during
the whole rebellion. The reconstructed Leg
islature at Richmond wiz probably claim full
mileage. salaries, and interest, from 1861 to
1865, to heal the wounded honor of the Old
Dominion. Virginia now sees the importance
of having double delegation during revolt,
one for the loyal and one for the rebel Congress
1t is so convenient"

TUESDAY, DECEMBER IL, 1896.
After Their Places.

WE see it stated that the subject of dispensing
with the employment of women in the Trea-
sury Department is undergoing discussion.
1t is asserted that, while many of them are
capable and earn their salaries, others are
inefficient and undeserving; Notwithstanding
which, it is impossible to discharge them,
owing to the Importantly of friends and other
influences, the pay being greater than that
which women receive in any other vocation.
The pressure for appointments is overwhelm-
ing. The Presidents house, General Grants
headquarters, and the Treasury Department
are besieged continually, and on many days
the greater portion of the time Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and his assistants is
taken vp in refusing to employ women, and
in explaining the reasons for such refusal.
There are now from fifty to one hundred more
women in the Treasury Dep utment than The
Secretary is justified in retaining. In view
of all the disadvantages attending the en-
ployment of women, and the continued pres
sure for appointments, and the consequent
annoyance, the Secretary Of the Treasury is
considering the expediency of following the
example of the Secretary of the Interior, of
dismissiug at once all the female employees.
We wonder if none OF these difficult
ties are encountered with respect to male
applicants for office? Are there no ''ineffi-
cient or undeserving" men whom it is impos-
possible to discharge, Sowing to the importu-
nifty of friends, and other infuences?" The
papers have lately referred to series of
deialcations and forgeries in the Treasury
Department, perpetrated by a young man
closely connected with high official. This
fellow is the son of cerLain officer in one
branch of the Treasury Department, and his
fraues have been notorious for months both
in Washington and elsewhere.
Are the Presidents house, General Grants
headquarters, and the Treasury Department
"besieged" by nobody but poor women, ask
ing for employment? Is not the pay of many
a clerk in Washington larger than he could
get elsewhere tor the same work?
We hope the selfish, greedy crowd of
hangers-on at Washington will not succeed in
this effort to make places for themselves by
taking work away from the few women that
are employ ed there, for that is all that this
proposed movement means.

LANDED AT LAsT.-The city was yester-
day thrown into pleasurable state of ex-
citement by the news that the Britannia had
been signalled off New York. Although
little has been said in the papers about the
anxiety felt for her safety, yet those who
have had every opportunity of judging had
lust given her up for lost. In these days of
rapid steam propellinq, the fact that vessel
has been out thirty days in crossing the
Atlantic is considered good ground for
alarm, if not despair. When it is remem-
bered. therefore, that the Britannia sailed
from Glasgow on the Sd of November, and
was never again heard from until the 10th of
December, the people can imagine the relief
in shipping circles when told that she, with
her freight OF two hundred human souls, had
at last reached New York and was coming up
the bav. We feared we would have had to
add another to the list headed by the Baltic
and footed by the ill-tated EVentn9 Scar.
