TIE leading democratic journals in
all sections, says the New York Tribune
are showing a disposition to return to
the old party camps and 10 fight one
more battle at least under the old bsn-
ners. When the famous Allen Coun-
ty resolutions were first published there
was a warning on all sides; and for q
time 1t looked as il it only needed q
signal from some prominent leader to
start stampede along the whole line
But each waited for the other, and so
all stood still. Now the reaction has
come and the more literally disposed
Democratic organs are holding lang
uage like this in the st. Louis Rtpuj!i-
can concerning the invitation oithe Lib
eral-Republicans The Democracy
are strongly inclined to 60 into the next
battle under their own banners, aud
some Democratic organs are declaring
that they will not fight under any 9TH
er. But il the Liberals win a single
local bsttle-if they will l,iby any reason
able combination, carry Ohio and New
York, or either OF them, this fall, we
will believe they will be able to secure
all the Democratic votes they may
need for future engagements. What
more can they ask?'

years. Nothing has at any time oc-
CURED to disturb the harmony OF the
brothers beyond the usual boyish quar-
rels. A week or two ago Clinton Lit
tie, the second son, (sbout3l years old,)
came to Washington aud sold his
horses, and his brothers, Columbus, the
eldest, and Walter, the youngest, (who
is drug clerk with Mr.. Cropley. in
Georgetown, accompanied him home
to apend the Fourth of July at the
farm. Mr.. Franklin Little, the father,
was busy experimenting the erection
of a row OF houses he was having built
on Tenth street, near B, and remained
in Washington. The six brothers were
reunited under the family roof tree,
with the wife of Columbus aud sister
OF the Littles, and one or two young
ladies. On the fourth the brothers were
to have a shooting match at target,
but postponed it until next day, and
went TO visit neighbor, Willie Lewis,
and they all went to a picnic. Next
morning (the 5th) they all got up early
TO prepare for the projected shooting
match, aud were busy cleaning their
arms and loading them-some four or
five pistols and q rife-when they were
called in to breakfast by their mother.
It being her rule to require prompt
attendance at mea, times, the
brothers suspended operations and all
laid down their arms except Oscar,
(next iu age to Clinton who put his
pistol into his pocket, and Lycurgus,
(about twenty years old, } who with boy.
ish eagerness to be ready for the first
shot, took his weapon, a large navy
revolver, to the table with him. Alter
trihing with it awhile he laid the wesp-
on on his lap, the muzz!e pointing to-
wards his mother (next to him) and
Clinton beyond. The ladies Except
Mrs. Little) had not yet come to the
table. The pistol it seems was cooked,
for while they were at breakfast it was
discharged-still lying across the lap
of Lycurgus-snd the ball passed
through the thigh OF Mrs. Little into the
body OF Clinton. Columbus Little pos.
itively states that this accidental shot
was the only one fired in or out OF the
house. Mrs. Little had no artery touch
ed or bone broken, and was doing well
when Columbus left the farm this morn
ing. Clinton Little was terribly wound
ed, and died in the arms Of Columbus
at IL o'clock noon on Saturday, about
four hours and half after the shoot
ing. Mr.. Columbus Little says that
there was very naturally great excite
ment in and about the house, and that
the Winchester reporters or correspon-
dents took down the tale as it WAS told
by the gossiping cou untry ntighbors.
He says that the examination OF Oscar
and Lycurgus will prove the great in
justice done the family by the publish
ed reports Of the affair.
