loyal basis; and the loyal people ofthese
Southern States, once in possession of su-
preme power over these traitors, will answer
for it that they will no more disturb the
public peace. or infame the people against
the government. This is all the loyal pco-
pie of the South ask. Pass Mr.. Stevens bill,
and they will take care Of secessionists, lat
ter-day war men, and traitors of all kinds
They will not torture, or shoot, or hang
them, or malign and persecute them, as
they did the Unionists during the re-
bellion, but they will make them know
their places, and will see to it that they new

paper-has ceased to be. We expected it
would collapse, but we looked for it to live q
little longer. 1t was pious secession paper,
relieved now and then with CLEAN of truth
and loyalty. We felt certain, when the Doc
tor advised his Southern friends to accept
the Howard amendment as the lesser evil,
that he had signed his own death-warrant.
1t is true he saw his mistake and tried to re-
cede, but the set to which he belongs are as
devoid of mercy and charity as they are of
loyalty. The Doctors lot is hard one
He declared during the rebellion that he had
as much faith in the Confederate cause as he
had in his Saviour, the Redeemer of man
kind. This propitiated and secured the ia
vor of the leaders of the secession cause, and
the Doctor was getting on quite handsome
ly; but in an unlucky hour he told them the
truth for their own good, whereupon they
whacked his paper out of existence. 1t is
a sad thing for one to be deserted and de-
nounced because he tells the truth. The
Doctor had served these leaders faithfully
He had coined his very prayers into seces-
sion speeches to uphold 1.-THE cause" He
may well exclaim-
az could stand upright
Against the tyranny of age and fortune;
But the sad weight of such ingratitude
Doth crush me into earth.'

" Whats the matter, Tom r. Dsncey said,

ness then desired to leave. Immediately he
heard firing. Saw somebody behind the ON
nibus shooting. He had started that way.
but turned back and saw Sauls shooting. He
fred twice. Six'or eight shots fred. I saw
Bryan with his pistol out. sauls did not
fire from behind the omnibus and Bryan
could not have done so. The omnibus was
to the left. Thinks the first shot was from
that direction. Saw Bryan with pistol drawn.
He said to Sauls, /" If you como here / will
kill you" 6auls said, with his hand over
the wound, You need not shoot, I'm shot
already" He then walked towards Suggs.
The parties were six or eight feet apart, and
were friendly few minutes previously. Wi
ley only appeared excited, saying that he was
accused Of stealing money.
Thos Dancey was called, but was absent.
The witnesses having been examined, the
jury returned the following verdict:
"That the deceased, Wiley Sauls, came to
his death by a pistol-shot, fred from the
hands Of Quentin Bryan"
The following was the jury: Messrs. W.

The deceased was well known in this COM

at bis sad and untimely death. He leaves .

An eloquent prayer was offered on Tues
day, in the House of Delegates, by the Rev.
G. W. Langhorne, of the Methodist Church,
which was peculiarly appropriate to the &C.
casion. He spoke of the gloom which over
cast our political horizon, and prayed that
Providence would smile away the surcharged
clouds, but, he continued, {" if the storm must
burst, let it break upon those who have so
madly invoked it, but let peace and sunshine
settle upon our heads "-Richmond Eaquirer.
This reverend and pious gentleman would
like to have the storm burst at Washington
City and on the Northern States. He wants
more civil war. He no doubt insists that
his own section shall be allowed to do as it
pleases, and he prays that, doing as it pleases,
it may have sunshine all the while The
people were beguiled by just such prayers
during the rebellion.
Gov. Vance advances the same views when
he says the North will do us justice when
they shall have had the same experience we
have had.
The Petersburg Eapress wants the Presi-
dent to fight the Congress. 1t says:
"The man who wields the Presidential
sccptre has vast, almost unlimited powers at
his command; and in such crisis he would
stand justified to the country, and to posteri-
ty, even should he resort to extra constitu-
tional measures to sustain his Office And
regarding the government now as practical
despotisnl-the despotism of many-we are
free to confess that we prefer the rule of one
man, call him by what name you will
whether President, Emperor or King-to the
many-headed monster aspiring to the seat of
absolute power"

The burden of taxation is reported by
Mr.. Wells to be heavier on the American peo-
pie, per head, than on any other people in the
world. Adding the internal revenueto that
raised from customs, during the last fiscal
year, the tax IN gold, per capita, was I'll.
SO in the United States, e1092 in Great
Britain, $7.97 in France, $3.50 in Belgium,
$5.43 in Prussia, and 5.27 in Austria And
in this country, during the late fiscal year,
the ratio of taxation on property amounted
to three and ninety three hundredths (3.93)
per cent, while in great Britain it was only
nine-tenths of one per cent.
