The Alexandra Gazette states that
Francis l.. Smith, ESQ of that city, as
counsel of Mrs. Gen. Robert Z. Lee, has
prepared an application to Congress, pre-
posing to sell the government the Airing
ton estate, containing eleven hundred acres
of land. The property was sold for a
tax of 1920 The memorial contains
an elaborate argument to prove the un-
constitutiOnaGty of the act of Congress
under which the property was sold, and
the invahdity of the sale upon other
grounds, resting on recent decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The owners of Arlington, however, are
anxious to avoid litigation, and propose,
for fair consideration, to make valid
title to the property. We join with our
Alexandria contemporary in the hope
that this proposition will meet the appro-
baton of the Congress of the United
States. The national government, we
hardly think, would be willing to hold
possession of an estate worth more than
100000, for the paltry sum of 800. O7.

WE publish to-day an extended notice of
Cornell University, by an able coTespon-
dent of the New York Times, which we
hope will attract the attention Of those
among our readers interested in furnishing
10 the youth of Virginia opportunities for
the higher education. Our Agricultural
Scrip, if rightly managed, will enable us to
offer something like this to our own youth.
If that large class of men, who create all
things that supply our wants, are to be re-
cognized at all in the provisions for liberal
culture, Cornell University is what we
should take for our model. Its success
cheers us with hope. True, we cannot hope
Just yet to receive the magnificent gifts of O
Cornell, and our University may not be SC
fortunate as to secure for its presiding off
Ger so royal man as Andrew G. White
who bestows munifcently upon the in.
stitution over which he presides, his money
as well as his genius.
We shall hardly get Goodwin Smith al
first, but a school organized in the spirit
and on the general plan of this one, is
what we want, and with our scrip to begin
with, what we can get. We commend this
glorious example, and invite our liberia
rich men to emulate the noble generosity O.
White and Cornell, in the bestowal of then
money to public purposes.

SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. Is, 1871.

The mayor of Norfolk, yesterday, issued
his proclamation prohibiting The colored
people of that city from holding public
meeting, for the purpose of giving express
sion to their views relative to the murder
of Policeman Wilson, of Portsmouth.
The Norfolk Faginian now endorses the
action of the mayor, as it before advised
the interference to prevent the meeting.
Not because we are Republican, nor in
the interest of the colored people, cs-
pecally, but because of its dangerous
character, do we denounce such action.
1t. oyerthrows all the safeguards of liberty.
1t is a precedent, which, if followed,
would result in the denial of the right of
assembling for any purpose. The same
course pursued by the mayor of New
York, received the just eensure and COL
domination of the Press of America. Were
the order of things reversed, had the
mayor of Norfolk been colored man, and
its white citizens proposed to hold meet
ing, and he had issued prohibitory order,
u fearful storm OF Indignation would have
fallen around his head If the fears enter
tanned by him were well grounded, his
duty was plain and simple, to call out the
police force and protect all.
Perhaps we have Governor as equal to
to the situation as was Hoffman Of New
York. IL so, now is the time for him to
show his mettle.

effects can only be destroyed by Governor

From the New York Start
Va TORTURED TO DEATH.
Horrible Scene in the South Carolina Peni-
H tentiury.


The death of Jefferson Brown, in the
penitentiary of the State of South Carolina,
will form one of the most terrible chapters
in the history of modern crime. The hor-
ribe manner in which he was tortured to
death is sufficient evidence that the boosted
civilization of the nineteenth century has
not yet rid itself Of the barbarous practices
of the dark ages. Certainly no act of
modern times will surpass in cruelty that
which resulted few days since in the death
of former resident of New York city.
The following are some Of the facts which
were elected at the inquest, although the
authorities have shown great reluctance in
permitting them to be published.
If all the tortures of the damned were
double distilled and rectified and then con-
Generated upon the hideous monsters, who
thus cruelty and inhunanly murdered this
poor wretch, they would be inadequate to
SATISFY the demands Of justice:
jefferson Brown, a young man eighteen
years of age, left this city shortly after the
close Of the war to go to Richmond, where
he expected to work at his trade as car
penter. Being unable to secure employ
ment at Richmond, he moved to Spartans-
burg, S. C.. Here, for time, he succeeded
IN earning enough TO support nm but bus
mess began to grow dull, work failed, and
at length he found himself utterly destitute
either of the means to return North, or the
ability to support himself where he was.
AS he stated on his trial, he was driven by
necessity to lawlessness and was captured
in the first attempt at petty thieying, He
was tried at the county seat, and sentenced
TO five years at hard labor in the State pen
itentiary at Columbia, South Carolina, a
prison which has national reputation for
its filthiness and the brutality OF its keep
ers.
For nearly two years Brown worked at
his trade within the wall of the penitentiary,
quietly and faithfully performing the work
that was given him, hoping by good conduct
TO shorten his term Of Imprisonment. One
day about month ago, however, he ven-
tured to demonstrate with the warden for
furnishing him with mouldy bread, and
meat so putrid that it could not be eaten.
The warden replied that it was ga id
sight to good for such hound," and order
ed two Of the keepers to place Brown in
