a Doctor Deliberately Shot at Board
ing House Tea Table.

The use of the pistol is becoming fright
fully common IN this city for the purpose of
settling difficulties even Of the slightest
character and hardly day passes without
the report OF a shooting case Of some kind
or other. The public street is generally
selected for these passages at arms. The
pistol using gentry appear to be fond of pub
" shooting on sight, as it Is popularity {, rIned,
they wish all the world to witness the.afray.
An affair of different kind, however,
came of Saturday evening in Il we'll known
boarding house on Poplar street, kept by
Mr. Mills. Among the bOarders is Dr. 4.
= Lowe for some time has been q resident
of this city While seated at the tea table
about seven clock in the evening, a diff
Guilty occurred between him and Mr. Mills
about some family matter, and the Doctor
was peremptorily ordered to leave the house
The Doctor did not rise from the table to
obey the order as quickly as was desired,
and Mr. Mills drawing pistol from his
pocket Ievelled the weapon, fired, and the
bullet lodged in the Doctor right breast
The moment Mills fred the shot he attempt
ed to leave the room, but was Intercepted
by his wife, whom he unceremoniously
knocked down. DIR. Lowe then fired but
his bullet escaped its mark and Mills ran
out OF the house and up the street minus his
hat \ large crowd soon collected, and the
greatest excitement prevailed IN the neigh
borhO0d. The members Of the Mills fam
lily seemed 70 be cxasperated at the conduct
Of their father, and had he appeared on the
ground, and had pistols been handy, from
the expressions used, fratricide would doubt
less have been committed. Dr.. Lowe was
taken to his room and medical aid called in.
The wound which he has received is a very
dangerous one, and it is doubtful if he VIII
recover. He made his viii on Saturday
night in order to prepare for the worst that
might happen.
Mills, the would be murderer, was still at
large up to a late hour last night, but the

The Rumored Removal Of the Internal
Revenue Collector.

TIE Rumored Removal Of the Internal
Revenue Collector.
We don't know that the rumor relative to
a change in the Internal Revenue Collector
ship at this point is true; but it should be.
In common with every decent man in the
community, we hope the report viii be
speedily changed to fact.
Radical Rule Hough possesses no claims
upon the consideration Of either the Gov
eminent or the people. When it was pleas
ant and agreeable to be good Confederate
and endorse the Confederate Constitution
he was a good Confederate, and endorsed
that document When it became pleasant
and agreeable to turn against the South and
denounce the Confederacy, he was on hand
to do 1t. His Southern face served him well
in Confederate times, and his Northern face
has served him well since.
President Johnson has not hesitated,
recently, to lay the heads Of Federal Office
holders opposed to his policy beneath the
axe. 1t cannot be expected that he will
keep in positions of honor, trust and infu-
ence, men who act in concert with the Rad
icais who are endeavoring to break up the
Government and destroy civil liberty 1t
cannot be expected that he will ignore, for
such men, the claims Of others equally well
qualified, who are sustaining his noble eff

their purity.
The public understand Huffy Hough to
be a Radical of the Stevens stripe. He en-
joys a lucrative Office under the President,
and his influence is exerted against the
Presidents policy. This alone should mark
him for the official executiOner, even if his
course in grasping tax-titles 10 hold over the
heads Of Southern men and women impov-
erished 10y the war, and his persecution of a
religious sect, had not caused him to forfeit
the esteem of the community
While the work of official decapitation is
going on, Hough should not be forgotten.
His head bestows no especial grace upon the
Revenue Colleetorship, but would prove an
attractive ornament to the political heads
mans basket There are thousand rea-
sons why he should be Ousted, and not the
shadow of a reason for his retention
