HORRIBLE HoMICIDE-A Man Killed With
Coat PiCk.--A difficulty occurred in a
clearinghouse for workmeD. kept by John
Dutley, in Wheeling, West Va, on Sunday
night, with terrible and fatal result. The
proprietor, Dutfcy, in Il quarrel with Thos.
harrington, boarder, so enraged the latter
that he commenced an attack upon Duffey
and others, and had to be put out into the
yard. The Wheeling Register says:
Duffey followed out 10 the back door, as
if to see what was going on, and fell down
the steps into the yard.
At this time Harrington was being taken
out ofthe yard By way Of the alley and front
gate. Before they could get him out, how
ever, he broke from his captors, and ran
back to the rear of the house, where Duffey
was. Picking up coal-digeer's pick, he
swung it with both hands. driving it into
the body of the unfortunate Dutfey, strik-
inc him about four inches under the right
arm-pit. Dutley fell, taking Harrington
with him. Harrington raised to sitting
position, and, raising the pick over his
head, made a blow to drive the wicked in
strumcnt INTO the brain OF the wounded
man. This attempt was thwarted by by
stander, who jumped across the handle Of
the pick, and prevented the blow.
Duttey's family raised him and carried him
into the house. He lived only about ten
minutes afterwards.
Harrington seized a large shovel that was
lying in the yard, and with it fought his
way out to the street, where he tlourished
his weapon among the crowd, making them
look out that their heads were not taken
on.
Squire Clohan issued a warrant for the
arrest OF Harrington, and he was taken
into custody by Officer Reed and lodged in
lAi.

LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
Congressional.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 2.-Senate.-Mr.
salisbury moved q reconsideration OF the
resolution for the relief of France and Prus-
sia, in order "to correct grammatical er-
rors which were disgraceful to the Senate
and American people" The motion was
voted down.
The bill suspending the use of the pres
ent spirit metre was taken up. Several
Senator's spoke in favor of the bill, as the
metre was ineXact in its results and oppres-
sive to distillers. Objection was made to the
present consideration of the bill, and it
went over. 1t has already passed.
The House bill allowing the same draw
back to exported brandy as that accorded
to rum and alcohol was amended so as not
to allow the drawback until the law goes
into effect, and passed.
The bill dividing Virginia into two judi.
cial districts was passed, and goes to the
President.
The bill for subsidy to the steam mail
service in the Gulf was discussed until ad.
journment.
House.-The bill to provide for the collec.
ton of the debts due the Federal Govern
ment by southern railroad corporations
and authorizing the Secretary Of War to
compromise. adjust, and settle the suits on
such terms as to amount and time OF pay.
ment as may be just and equitable and best
calculated to protect the interests Of the
Government, was passed.
The discussion of the bill extending the
time for the completion Of the st. CroiS
and Bayfield, railroad brought out much
opposition. The land grants and the bill
was recommitted (Which is equivalent to its
rejection, as the committee does not meet
again this SESSION. by 4 vote of 1O2 to 81
During the discussion Mr.. Kelly, of Pa,
said he would vote for no original grant o.
land other than such as would be necessary
to construct a great southern trans-conti
mental road. The people Of the South
were entitled to such a grant, and so ne
had said when Intercepted by his consti
tuents.

VIRGINIA LEAF.-The continued cold and
stormy weather naturally prevents any fur
Their preparation Of the weed for market,
and makes the receipts OH the Virginia
"brcalis" very limited in quantity. This
short supply of course keeps prices up,
having been made the excuse for 4 further
advance of from ten to fifteen cents on
bright wrappers. Considering there is so
much leaf in the barns awaiting favorable
opportunity to be "struck," it seems un-
fortunate that we should not be able to get
at 1t, and that so large an advance should
have 70 be submitted to. But the clerk of
the weather that mythical and broad
shouldcred Individuals wholly response
bic for the present condition ofthngs. The
planters cannot strike" their leaf without
season of mild, open weather, be they
ever so willing, and the continued hard
frost of the past two months has been as
badly adapted for marketing leaf tobacco
as can we'll be imagined. Still our local
dealers, having laid in q considerable stock
at the decline in prices early in the season,
have been able to do very fair business
during January by selling below the pre-
sent Richmond rates, but their stocks have
now been nearly exhausted, and Of course
cannot be rcplcniShcd ut the same low
figures. Prices. it would seem, must keep
up for several weeks to come-probably
the greater part Of next month-aS only
continued season of soft weather will enable
Il sufficient supply of leaf to reach the Vir-
gnia "breaks."-Ne,c York Tobacco Leaf.

1.-THE hand Of a beautiful and accom-
plished young lady (Miss g. residing near
Gerardstown was sought in marriage by
two rival suitors, both fine looking. The
rivalry had gone on for some time, and it
was given out on Monday last that Mr.. Nc.

altar. This would have discouraged most
men. but not Lieutenant S. He had follow

daunted or driven from the field by any or
binary circumstances. The day was fixed
for the marriage Of his rival, but, like q true
cavalier, he determined to grapple with
seeming Fate. He sought an interview
with the young lady, gained her consent to
change the programme, made hurried ar
rangements, and was married on Tuesday,
before his rival had time to suspect that
the course Of true love- was not running
smooth

been in the city for several days, as we un-
derstand, looking to hostile meeting on
the classic ducllng ground adjacent to
Sand-Bar Ferry. Col. Johnston arrived in
the city on Monday evening, and of course
expectation WAS on the tiptoe as to hos
tile meeting yesterday morning. at the Sand
Bar duelling ground. Public expectation,
however, was disappointed, from some
cause not appearing. During the morning,
however, dispatch was received bv his
Honor Mayor Estes from the Mayor Of
Charlotte, n. c., giving information of the
projected hostile meeting. In the exercise
OF his official duties under the law, Mayor
Estes decided upon the arrest Of the parties,
which was cOnsummated about | O'Clock

Lieutenant King, of the police. They ap-
peared before Justice ELS, and each gave
bail in the sum Of $500 not to violate the
