Of Mr.. Sumner, condemns him and su,-
tains the President. The Philadelphia LeIger.
a the uestful and impartial paper. undoubtedly
expresses the sense Of the independent press of
the country in saying that the importance Of
possessing naval post and harbor in a COM

more than quarter of a century; that 1t is.

explanation of the affair, and soon after
arose. took drink, and started for the
doctors office to have the ball extracted.
The wound was, apparently, made by the
ball Of large pistol, which had broken
one of the large bones of the arm and
glanced downward toward the wrist,
where it lodged.
From what could, last night be ascer-
tanned, it appears that row occurred in
the saloon about ten minutes before the
shooting, in which friend of Mafit had
been put out. A difficulty then occurred
between Mafiit and some unknown man,
when NJ. was struck with the butt of a
pistol in the others hands, which caused
the wound over Matiit's eye The blow
also discharged the weapon and the ball
struck Nc Ooole, who was standing short
distance behind. McCoole and all his
witnesses of the affair refused to tell
anything about it, but it was afterwards
stated that Tom Kehoe was the man
who struck Mafflt. The police we're con-
seauently instructed to look Kehoe up

the whole affair will be ascertained to-

a Reverened scoundreI.

From the Troy Times, July 81
A day or two since a pious, sanctimon-
ious looking chap, assuming the name
of Rev. f. Whitcomb, arrived at Com
gress Hall, Saratoga Springs, pretending
to be disabled soldier, sick at heart and
wearied in flesh. His congregation in
Kansas, he said, gave him two hundred
dollars for relaxation from the cares of
his ministry, and after considering all
the attractions of the various watering
places he had concluded to spend his
vacation at our famous resort. But
scarcely had he landed in the streets Of
Saratoga before some graceless wretch
came up aud relieved him of his two
hundred dollars, and left him penniless
among strangers He told his story to
James IL. Breshn, the popular head
clerk at the Congress, and James, with
heart to feel for others woes, repeated
it to the other guests of the hotel, and in
a little while gladdened the Rev. "
Whitcomb's eyes with another two hun
nred dollars which he was told to put
away carefully in his breeches pocket.
The overjoyed minister accepted it with
tears streaming down his eyes. Every
body who saw him and had contributed
to his relief felt happy. 1t is such a.
glorious thing TO give. Suddenly the
aRev." Whitcomb disappeared, and was
next seen at the Round Lake camp meet
ing. We will let the Saratogian tell the
story of his reception and treatment
here:
"He stopped at Round Lake, did this
holy man. 1t had been better for Rev.
Mr.. Whitcomb had he not got off to visit
the camp meeting. Your modern Meth
odist is not easily taken in. He may be
as harmless as a dove, but he is also as
wise as serpent, and when the spirit

man with new pocket book to exhort
the wicked to repent, there fell upon him

elder. who did not happen to have all his
eyes covered with his devotional fingers
single look was sufficient. The genius
of the game leg and the white tie was
spotted. He might impose on hotel
folks. city guests and on newspaper men,
hut he could not flank a camp meeting.
Wr Wbitcomb' disguise was penetrated.
He saw himself as others saw him, and

healthy Methodist grip on his coat
collar, and some vigorous Aeth9dist
boots following close behind him;
The Devil, they thought, could

as ANYTHING else. but there was no room
for him at Round Lake. They told Whit
comb to go in peace, and so earnest
were they about it that he came near GO
