SHOOTING AFFRAY IN LYNCHBURG /!
A coLoREp MAN DANGEROUSLY HURT,
Bail Refused the Perpetrator Of the Deed!
[spEcrAL DlspAroH ro THE STATE JOURNAL

Lynchbeuy, July pa difficulty oc-
Cured here yesterday evening, between
James M. Dougherty, proprietor Of live
ry stable on Eleventh street, and colored
man named Waddy Buckner, in which the
latter was shot. The ball entered about
two inches below the shoulder blade and
lodged near the spine. !. The shooting, it is
supposed, grew out of quarrel in which
Buckner was charged with stealing sad
die from Dougherty's stable some time ago.
Buckner's wound is considered DANCE
rous this morning. Bail has been refused
Dougherty by the Mayor, and he was COM
mitted to Jail. '-

How sweetly the memory Of good men
lives in all, after days fragrant with the
gratitude of the poor, is daily called to our
minds here in Richmond, and all over this
continent, so blessed with the munificent
benefactions of Geo. Peabody. So from
across the Sea, even comes the voice of the
struggling poor, breathing blessings for the
land that gave birth to their departed friend.
Giving all he had to humanity, he has found
himself the possessor of that immortality
which no genius or power unconsecuted by
love of man can ever gain. m .ssH s.. /,
The completion of his immense lodging
houses for the poorin Peabody's square,
London, is thus noticed by the Globe: ~
Another block of model dwellings will
be formally opened on the 1st of August,
which ought to secure for the memory Of
George Peabody warm corner in the
hearts of all who are interested in the well
fare Of the poor. Peabody square, it has
been designated, and it stands behind . row
of trees at the lower end of the Blackfriar
road. On entering this structure ones
first impression is that it is not likely-and,
in fact, it is not intended-to afford houses
for the poorest of London poor. People
who have been born and reared in dens into
which broad daylight and fresh air never
penetrate would in such place probably
feel like bats in the sunshine. Here are
two fine quadrangles of light, airy-looking
buildings, the white and red brick-work Of
which is charmingly relieved by a pretty
cluster of trees in the center Of each square.
The rooms are well-lighted, ventilated, and
thoroughly comfortable. Water is laid on
copiously, the staircases and passages are
lighted with gas, and such bathrooms are
provided as are not TO be met with in many
houses at $500 year.
There is. no approach to any jaol-like
uniformity in the arrangements of the
rooms, and in the rules of the establish
ment there is nothing the most fastidious
can object to, except it may be Rule 8,
which says: "Tenants cannot be allowed
to paper or drive nails into the walls" for
one can hardly imagine a cosy, cheerful
looking room with neither. paper nor pic
lures on its walls. The two quadrangles
afford accommodation for 800 tenants, oc-
cupying one room at half crown week,
two rooms at 81, or three at $1.25, and at
these rates the whole building is already
taken, and could have been let twice over.
Every effort is made to insure that the ten
ants shall be only those whom the trust is
charged to benefit-the deserving, strug-
Cling poor. Indirectly such places are cali
culated to benefit even the most squalid
and miserable of our population, since they
must increase house accommodation of the
poorer kind. g.rsa gna

The Ball and Chain to be Discontinued.
Police Justice White has given notice di-
recting the use of the ball and chain upon
persons sent to the chain-gang to be discon-
tinued. This speaks well, and more partic-
ularly SO, when it comes from Conserva-
tive. 1t shows that there is one Democrat
who is willing to lend his aid in rolling on
the great wheel of progress, and to assist
in doing away with these ancient ideas and
institution of cruel barbarism.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD.


We copy the following .unique article
from the Lynchburg Ne'ps of the 26th,
showing its estimate of the ''New Depar-
t,re" and the Departurists. 1t, like Davis
and Toombs, has the honesty to come-out
and say what is felt by about ninety-nine
out of every hundred people Of the South,
but who for political purposes hypocriti-
cally declare the good faith of their action.
The "New Departures" compare their pre-
sent action with the Walker Movement.
Admit it, and their departure, after obtain
ing power from their pledges, will only
make the cases more analogous. Hear the
Ne,cs speak for itself: -
"THE NEW DEPARTURE
sThe New Dcparturists' continually in
sist that those who do not fall in with their
peculiar ideas, are deplorably lacking in
political wisdom. They say we must ac-
commodate ourselves to circumstances that
what's done can't be helped half loaf is
better than no bread, and other venerable
propositions and proverbs, which no man
Of common sense is expected to gainsay.
Snow, we need not be told that whats
done can't be helped and least of all by
some people in Virginia who helped, to do
it, and insisted that it must be done, and,
when it was done, and the consequences
rolled down upon us, were the first to take
the oath, and having done SO, to invoke all
other animals to have their tails cut off in
like manner. We know very well that
what's done can't be helped We know
that all the supple postures and sneaking
departures in the world can't bring back
the dead power of the South, nor raise from
the grave her dead heroes. Knowing that
it can't be helped, we shan't try TO helpjt,,
and least of all by hypocricy and lying.
But there are some things that we can help,
and among them is personal and political
decentralization. !'H.. A'''7
ITO acquiesce in the radical departure
from the constitution, and decline to COM
bat it because it is dead issue;' to reyer-
ence it as part Of the constitution, and as
being valid in law, though mterpolated by
force and fraud into that instrument; to
withdraw all opposition to those bastard
amendments because opposition is iInpoli-l

and abhor them, may suit those who are

SENATOR; SUMNER bas been, in tho opera
don Of re-organizing the committees Of the
Senate, dropped from that Of Foreign Rela-
tions His bitter personal attack upon the
President in his discussion upon the Santo
Domingo question, is, no doubt, as generally
supposed, the cause Of his renewal, though
Senator Morton made the statement that the
one thing had no connection with the other.
Mr. Sumner is highly incensed at his treat
ment. and the leading journals of the day are
arraigned upon both sides Of the question of
propriety and right in the course taken. The
ground of those who justify the measure, is
that the President has right TO expect har.
mony of sentiment on the part OF the chair.
men of important committees, like that of
which Mr.. Summer was the head On the
ground of public policy, the argument is at
least plausible. The successor of Mr.. Sumner,
is Senator Cameron of Pa, who is said to be
a partzan friend of the President Though
the Pa. Senator is not considered the equal of
Sumner, yet, on the score of ability no objec.
tion is raised to Cameron. The objection is
to his willy, facile character as a politician,
and the inferred apprehension that the Presi.
dent may lapse into the power of men of
Cameron's crafty character. There is perhaps
very little ground for uneasinsss upon this
score, for If the President has made his adj
ministration, marked for one feature more
than another, that point, as most prominently
open TO criticism with politicians has been
that Of his appointments and their indepen.
dence of this class of friends. There is pret.
ty good reason to conclude that in the future
as in the past, the President will be able to
yindicate the soundness of his course and pol
icy. MIR. Sumner entered his protest against
the proceeding, and flung the craftsmanship of
the Committee on Privileges and Elections in
the faces of the Senators, and stslked from
the chamber.
The N. Y. Htrald's Washington special OF
the l4th, says he understands that Senator
Cameron will resign lis position as chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations. on
the ground that his health will not permit
him to assume such laborous duties. Cameron
is anxious TO be chairman of the committee
on Privileges and Elections, which Mr Sum.
ner declined. Senator Harlan IS the next
man on the committee on Foreign Relations,
to Cameron, but being chairman Of the com.
nlittee on Indian Affairs, cannot accept the
Craftsmanship of Foreign Relations. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Morton, third member of
the committee, will be made chairman.
