Conceals the wrong their wrath has wrought
And builds thereon gentler life

Blots out the track of fire and sword,
And makes the purple violets grow.

HeaUy on Prince George County Lands. -
We have just learned of remarkable case,
which does not speak very favoraby of the
lands of Prince George. Two years ago a
gentleman OF that county died, leaving his
widow 1900 acres of land to be held by her
during her natural life. She paws taxes upon
this land which amount to more than the real
value of its productions, aud yet she don't
want to reinquish her right 10 it. She has
recently consulted the law as to what is the
best course to pursue under the circumstances,
but as yet has been unable to arrive at any
satisfactory conclusion.

The pistol which caused this distressing
accident was a ''selfcocker" with which Mr.
Lucas was unfamiliar, and in handling which
caused the sad results we now behold. We

The Democratic Nominations. i Rich
mond will awake in the morning to find that
Democracy has so far completed its work as to
name the men who are supposed to be the
choice OF the party to represent it in the City
Council. We have not the temerity to deny
that the party has number of men come cted
with it who would IN AXE honest faithful and
capable members of the City Council, but will
such men be selected
Have not the actions of members of the pres
ent Council, who were endorsed as first rate
men BY the party when they were announced
as candidates for election, so disgusted those
who are really most interested in the selection
of capable men, that they will decline to take
any interest in the matter of their selection
and leave it to the control of the political
leaders? We are disposed to believe this will
be the case, and instead of turning out the old
concern, unanimously acknowledged to be cor
rupt, thev will ask the people to support many
OF the same men, and complain if it is not done.
We have wasted no time upon this question,
as we have nothing to do with their candidates.
We expect to offer TO the people of Richmond
such ticket will satisfy all classes that it is
the right one, and exnect to give Democracy
such whipping as will prevent it from exhib
iting such presumption 10 the future as it has
