AIuDGE Oh A JOURNALIST.
A FsW inolseats from the History Of q New
York journalist.

Judge Barnard, of the eupreme
bench of New York, and Mr.. W. F.
g. Shanks, city editor OF the Tribune,
are engaged in a pleasant little ex
change of compliments. The fight
between them proves the SENSATION
which is to let the public mind down
gently from the contemplation Of the
Fisk tragedy. 10 re pOnse to Mr..
Shanks' card which had b zen already
published, Judge Barnard makes the
following communication to the in
teryiewing fend of the Standard:
have been informed that he

ties, and in his demand for satisfac-
tion l ieel that | am perfectly compe-

ties. CJlonel Howell, the agent of
the State Associated Press, informs
me that he ordered Shanks out of his
house for attempting to seduce rels-
ton of his. O'ROurke, whose letter
was appended to Shanks'. card, has
told the same story about Shanks.
Another gentleman, prominently con-
nected with the press, has cor
rOboIated the statement OF Colonel
Howell Colonel A. A. Davis has the
papers relating to a seduction Gaze In
which Shanks was concerned. Mrs.
Nelly Ames Eleanor Kirk has let
ter in her possession from one of the
Messrs. Harper, certifying that Shanks
was discharged by them for trying to
seduce q young lady in their employ.
She wrote letter containing all these
facts to Horace Greeley. Mr.. COnant,
managing editor of Hsrper's Weekly,
will also testify to the same state OF
facts. Miss EasterbrOOk, a sister Of
Mrs. Ames, was threatened by Shanks
that unless she would comply with his
base demands he would reject her ard-
cles, and thus deprive her of q hveli-
hood. Miss Easterbro Indignantly
spurned his proposition, but having no
male friend to whom she could appeal,
the scoundrel went unwhipped. Miss
LOngstreet, residing in Sixth avenue,
can also give information as to where
WhitelaW Reid, w. F. G.. Shanks,
Simonton and Keenan, spend their
days and evenings. AS to Shanks
being a news thief, Mr. Soaring and
Mr.. Putnam can give evidence.
Mr.. Morgan, sttOrney-at-law, has
more information relating to the ini-
quities of this villain, and desired me
10 call upon him fo- the facts. Now,

Years old, who boarded at the same

detectives were after him, but the

DE.rH OF A eREAr LAwTER.

Governor Thomas Bragg, OF Nortt
Carolina, whose death was announced
ia our telegrsphic pages, was native
of Warren county OF that State-the
son of a mechanic, John Bragg, and
Younger brother Of Hon. John Bragg
of Alabama, and o General Brsxton
Bragg. of louisiana. He represented
Northampton county in the house o.
commons in 1912; was the Democratic
candidate for governor In 1854. In
which contest he was successful, and
was reelected in 1856 was elected
Uoitei States senator, but resigned
in 1851. when North Carolina seeded.
Gov. Brsgg filed the position Of at
toruey general In President Davis's
cabinet from February, 1862, to Sep
tember, 1853, when he resigned. In the
summer 1901 20, when Holden played
the despot, and Pearson acted the part
OF Jefiries, the great services Of Gov
ernor Bragg were freely given to
the defence Of the brutslly used Ala
nance and Csswen prisoners. He
took a prominent part in the impeach-
ment of Holden. His great argument
on that occasion, in favor OF convict
ing that arch-enemy Of North Caro-
lima and unparalleled modern tyrant,
will stand forever as a masterpiece of
logic and elCquenee. He was, per
haps, the profoundest thinker and
most skilltul Iogician, save Badger,
who has made illustri us the name
and fame OF North Carolina. bis
private character was as spotless as
his genius and professional learning
were unsurpassed.
