The Liberal Movement in the Old
Dominion.
Virginia Soreheads Preparing for Cincinnati
Judge Davis Their Favorite-Curtin,
Greeley or Walker for
the Second Place.

RICHMOND Va, April q, 1872.
Almost at the eleventh hour q liberal republican
movement has sprung up in Virginia, which, from
the names OF those who are prominent in its de-
veopment assumes some Importance. The ele-
ments in the recent Republican Convention held In
this city were SO nharmonious and the lighting
between the federal Office holders and the outside
parties was 80 disgraceful that several OF the
leading
REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE BECAME DIsAFFECTED
and at once opened q correspondence with Senators
SchurZ Trumbull and Fenton, at Washington. At
the invitation OF the latter one of the sorehead
republicans visited that city, where conference
was held and plan Of action agreed upon to
further the liberal movement here. In accordance
with that programme a meeting will be held in this
city on Wednesday next, which will be attended by
such men as Franklin Stearns,
THE wEALTHIEsT REPUBLICAN IN THE STATE,
and the lifelong friend OF the late John Minor
Bolts; DR.. Charles S. Mills, another wealthy repub-
lican Judge Alfred Morton and others. Delega-
lions will also be present from Alexandria, Lynch
burg and Norfolk, and If time does not prevent the
calling OF regular convention delegates will then
be appointed to attend the Cincinnati Con-
who was prominent in bringing Gilbert G. Walker
forward for Governor for this State In 1870, which
resulted in such signal triumph for the conserva-
tves II Is further understood that the delegation
to be sent from here to Cincinnati will be in
structed.

for the Presidency and either Governor Curtin or
Horace Greeley for the Vice Presidency, and rnmor
has it that Governor Walker will also be put forward
for the latter position.

THE CASINO SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Two Victims Instead OF One-Condition
Of the Wounded Men.

Of the Wounded Men.
The disturbance that took place in Houston
street'on Sunday morning ended more fatally than
was at first supposed. Clemmens, the young man
who was carried to Police Headquarters, had been
scarcely removed from the Fourteenth precinct
station house when another man, named
John Cummings, OF 800 West Twentieth street, was
sent into the station house. suffering from wound
received In the same general fight. Cummings was
not so badly injured as Clemmcns, as the ball had
only entered the cheek, passing out again at the
back of the head. His wound was dressed by the
home. Through the courtesy of Warden Brennan
reporter OF the HERALD was permitted an
interview with Charles Ciemmens yesterday at
Bellevue Hospital. He stated that the disturbance
was the result Of a disagreement that took place
on Saturday last among number Of young men
who live up town. What the original cause OF the
bad feeling he could not tell as he was not con-
nected with it. They seemed, as far as he
could judge, to be a perty Of friends who

MURDEROUS ARRAYS IN BROOKLYN GIN
SALOONS.
One Man Fatally Stabbed and Two
SeriOuslv Injured.

One Man Fatally Stabbed and Two
Seriously Injured.
There were two murderous ARRAYS in Brooklyn
gin saloons on Saturday night, and in one case the
probabilities are that 1t will result fatally.
THE FIRST ARRAY
was in voman's liquor saloon, at the cor
ner Of Thirteenth street and Fifth avenue
South Brooklyn. Two men, named Ke
ferd Wrcsdcn and Henry Mailer, got
into dispute after having imbibed rather freely,
and rough and tumble fight followed. Wresden
had some Of his ribs broken, and he then seized q
knife with which he made an assault on his oppo
nent INJECTING serious If not fatal injuries about the
head. The cry of "POce " attracted some officers
OF the Eighth precinct, and the wounded men were
removed to the hospital.
THE SECOND ARRAY
occurred at a late hour, in the liquor saloon OF
James Hayes, 1e0 Twenty-flrst street between two
men, named Thomas LOwery and Mathew Bradley.
The parties, 1t Is said, had been drink
ing and were quarresome, and they got
into an alteration, which led to blows.
In the course OF the ARRAY Bradley got
his pocket knife out and stabbed Lowery in the
abdomen, INJECTING q wound which the physicians
pronounce of fatal character Bradley was ar
rested by Ronndsman Drscoll, OF the Eighth pre-
cinct, and locked up to await the result OF the in
juries inflicted, and the wounded man was taken
to his home.

ROBBERY IN A HOTEL.
An Aged Professor OF Music Losing His
Money and His Watch.


Professor q. W. 4 Jones' Of the Madison Avenue
Hotel went to Police Headquarters yesterday
afternoon and complained to Captain Irving that
Nora Flanagan, OF ga West Twenty-fourth street,
who had been formerly employed as q servant
in the hotel, had robbed him on Satur-
day night of 5000 in money and gold watch
worth $40 The Professor portly gentleman,
who Is seventy-sx years old, gave Detectives Clapp
and Walling description OF the girl, and the
officers started out to look for her. As Nora had
held situation in Prince street before going to
Madison avenue the detectives went to look for her
In that locality, and were fortunate enough, after
SHORT SEARCH,
to meet the young lady in question. They took her
to the Central office, and upon searching her found
the Professors gold watch and $50 in money.
Dora's story Is that the Professor has been atten-
tive 10 her since she left the Madison Avenue HOTEL
and, by appointment she met him on Thurs
day night last
ON THE CORNER OF EIGHTH STREET
and Third avenue. He then desired her to call at
the hotel on Saturday night, and she did SO. The
Professor also cautioned her against letting any
one see her as she went through the hotel but
this she was unable to do, as Mrs. Babcock,
the proprictress, met her the staircase and she
could not avoid talking to the lady. She went into
the hotel at nine O'Clock in the evening and lett u
about two O'Clock in the morning. The professor
assured the prisoner yesterday In the cell that none
OF the particulars OF the case would be published ~

SHOPS OF CoNsTANTNoPLE.- have
spoken of the shops. They are funny
little boxes, with one half of the cover
turned up, the other half laid down as n
counter. The purchaser stands outside
the merchant within. No goods are
made n show of ; there seems to be no
anxiety to sell 10 anger at having
everything turned topsy t1lrvey; no
offence at an offer of just half the ask
ing price. The bazaars are collections
of shopkeepers in some particular
branch-gloomy sheds, often odorous,
generally dingy, crowded and stupid.
The number Of tobacoo-pipe merchants
and manufacturers amazes one at Con

lars the long cherry tube is beautifully
wrought in gay silks, and jewels often
glitter along the sides, because the
pasha expects to pass his pipe round
among his visitors, and has no better
means of displaying his wealth. His
wife cannot receive strangers and make
her parlor museum, because the harem
is forbidden ground her slippers out
side the door prevent even her husbands
entrance and most of his leisure he is
glad to spend anywhere else than in such
monotonous stupor. A genuine Turk
sees hardly any Turkish ladies'; he never
beholds his wife till after marriage, and
does not commonly marry more than
one, unless he is some grand official who
is expected to live in style. He never
alludes to his family in public, or ex-
poets it to be; to ask after madame's
health would be the worst insult. The

WINNING Horses.

There are persons who think that the
spirit and temper of q horse must be
broken to make him valuable. PROBES
sor Wagner, in his work on the "Edu-
cation Of Horses" says:
81 would caution all who train or use
horses against exciting the ill-will of the
animal. Many think they are doing
finely, and are proud of their success in
horse training, by means Of severe whip
ping, or otherwise rousing and stimula-
ting the passions, and then from neces-
sity, crushing the will through which
the resistance is prompted. No mistake
can be greater than this, and there is moth
ing that so fully exhibits the ability,
Judgment and skill OF the real horseman
as the care and act.displayed in winning
instead of repelling, the action of the
mind. Although it may be necessary to
use the whip sometimes, it should always
be applied iudiciously, and great care
should be taken not to rouse the pas
sions or excite the will to obstinacy.
"The legitimate and proper use Of
the whip is calculated to operate on the
sense Of fear almost entirely. The af-
fectionate and better nature of q horse
must be appealed to in training, as we'll
as in training child; but if only the
passions are excited, the effect is deprav-
ing and injurious. This is vital princi-
pie, and can be disregarded in the man.

Marriage and the Death.Rate.

The death-rate in the married and UNI
married was the subject of paper recently
read by M. Bertillon before the Academy
of Medicine in Paris. The results are
based on statistics derived from France,
Belgium and Holland, and arc as follows :;
Of married men between the ages Of 25
and 80, the deathrate was per thousand,
unmarried 10 per thousand, widowers %
per thousand. OF married and unmarried
women the rate was the same, viz: 9 per
thousand, while in widows it was II.
In persons from 30 to 35 the death rate
among married men was IL, the unmarried
5, and the widowers 10 per thousand.
Among the women it was for the married,
10 for the unmarried and Is per thousand
for the widows, from which we obtain the
following tables.

Total for decade 10, II. Al.
AGE. WOMEN.

Which demonstrate that while in the
case of men the death-rate was the same
throughout the decade for the married and
unmarried, there was a great fatality among
the widowers. We may, therefore, con-
clude that while the married state docs
not actively improve the sanitary condi-
ton in men, the relapse into the unmarried
state is attended by great fatality. The
apparent explanation of this result is the
reduction in the tone of the system from
the mental affection that follows the loss
Of the wife, and doubtless critical eXami-
nation into the diseases which carry off
widowers in such large proportion would
support this hypothesis.
The singular fatality among widowers
might be advanced as an argument against
the married state for men, for it is not at
tended by any corresponding advantage,
since the rate is the same both in the mar
ried and unmarried; but this is only a
superficial view of the case, for it must
not be forgotten that the very increase in
the death-rate among wide wels shows how
much they have lost in losing their COM
panions, and that loss is an indirect but no
less certain evidence that there was gain,
although it may appear to be obscure.
Among women, on the contrary, MARI
age reduced the dcath-rate nearly one
third during the decade; it had therefore,
an excellent sanitary effect. On relapsing
into the single state of wldowhood great
increase in the death-rate is again seen,
although in a less degree than in men,
Applying in this instance the same argu-
ment as in the case of the men, we arc
driven to the conclusion that while the
loss Of the companion increases the death
rate among women, the results are not as
fatal as among men, in the proportion, as
the table shows, Of lorty-one in the men, tC
thirty-two in the women.

CARE OF HORSES. A celebrated writer
SAYS "All horses must net be fed in
the same proportions, without regard to
their ages, their constitutions, and their
work, because the improperly of such a
practice is self,evident Yet it is con-
stantly done, and is the basis of diseases
of every kind. Never use bad hay on
account of its cheapness, because there
is not proper nourishment in it. Dam
aged corn is exceedingly injurious, be-
cause it brings on inflammation of the
bowels and skin diseases. Cbaffis better
for old horses than hay, because they
can chew and digest it better Mix chaff
with corn or beans, and do not give tho
latter alone, because it will make the
horse chew his food more and digest 1t
better. Hay or grass alone will not sup
port.a horse under hard work, because
there is not sufficient nutritive body in
either, When a horse is not worked hard
its food should be chiefly hay, because
oats supply more nourishment and flesh.

food /; hay not so much.
