OLIVE LoGAN's LEoTURE.-The
audience at Virginia Hall last night was
scarcely as large as on fermer occasions
of the appearance of the lady. The lee
ture, we need hardly say to those who
heard it delivered short time since, was
vivacious, witty, and wise, and COM
manded the fullest attention of the
auditors. Every listener will be spurred
to new efforts in achieving worldly sue
cess, and we suspect that many who
have heretofore been innocent of special
object in life will speedily acquire one. So
the lecture, like that on " Girls" and
7" Nice Young Men," land the Passions, !"
will have the effect the noble author intend
ed, of inspiriting, encouraging, and elevat-
ing mankind. Heartier or more cordial
good wishes will follow Olive Logan from
no community in the land than from Rich
mond, whether she remain radiant star
in the lecture field or retire to those quieter
but not less noble, duties of the home
circle, which she is % eminently fitted to
discharge.

ALL FOR THE PRICE OF A TALLow
CANDLE.-Speaking of duels, we have
just been informed of most sanguinary
meeting which took place near this city
during the war, and which, we are told,
has never been publicly mentioned. The
parties to the affair were members of a
Mississippi regiment. One of them was
lieutenant, and the other had held the
same grade Of office but had resigned to be-
come sutler for the regiment. The lieuten-
ant had credit with the sutler, and had
purchased sundry articles, which had been
charged against him. When settling time
came around dispute arose between the
two concerning tallow candle which was
charged in the bill. They both stubbornly
maintained the positions they had taken
with regard to this trlfling matter, and final
ly decided to resort to the ''code" for a
final settlement of the disagreement.
The weapons used were Mississippi
rifles, and our informant says he
saw both the men stretched upon the
ground dead, the aim of each having been
unerring and fatal. Life has been not UNI
aptly ikened to a burning candle. 1t is
snuffed out with as little ceremony, some
times.

VERDICT OF THE CoRoNER's JURY
The jury of inquest upon the body of John
B. Mordecai was summoned together at 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by Coroner
Taylor, when other witnesses were examin.
ed, including the seconds in the tragic
affair. These, however, refused under the
advice of their counsel, to testify, protest
ing in writing, against the examination as
against reason and justice and precedent.
DR.. Hunter Mcclure gave minute testi-
mony asto the part he took in the affair,
and his observations and impressions and
at the conclusion Of his examination the
jury returned the following verdict:
"Cityof Richmond, to,oa: sgE

street, in said city, on the 10Th day of May,
1873, before me, w. II. Taylor, coroner,
upon the view of the body of John B.
Mordecai, there lying dead, the Jurors
sworn to enquire when, where and by
what means the said John 3. Mordeca
came to his death, upon their oath do
say. that he came to his death by a
pistol shot wound inflicted upon him by
w. Page McCarty on the 9th day of May,
1873, while engaged in duel with said
McCarty, and that from the effects of said
wound he died on thel4tb day of May, 1873:
and they further say that William B. Tabb.
John S. Meredith, William l.. Royal, and
William r. Trigg were accessories to his
death, and that Drs. j. S. d. Cullen and
Hunter Mcclure are ccnsurable for not
having given information concerning the
same duel to the proper authorities in time
to have prevented it.

The jury were then dismissed, and Messrs.

turned to the station-house. They were this
morning taken before Judge White, of the
police court, who, without entering into an
examination, committed them until the 22d
instant, and all the witnesses were recog-
nized to appear on that day. During the
interval, as has been stated in THE STATE
JOURNAL, the field of battle will be in
spected and the question of. jurisdiction
and determined.

condemn as improper the expenditure of

CHICAGO, August II. = A terrible
accident occurred at half-past ten
last night, near Lemont, on the Chi
cago g Alton Railroad, an incoming
freight train colliding with the south
bound express passenger train, almost
entirely Wrecking the latter, killing
six persons and fearfully injuring
some thirty others, many Of
whom, it is said, will die. The cars
caught fire and number of the in
jured were burned badly, while 9TH
ers were scalded by hot water from
the locomotive boilers. Lemont is
about twenty miles south of this city,
and the accident was not known here
except to the railroad officials, until
between twelve and one o'clock this
morning, and then only to parties who
happened to ascertain that surgeons
had been sent for to go to the wreck
ed train. 1t is impossible to give full
particulars at the present writing, but
they will be sent later. Among those
dangerously injured is J. w. Smith,
Warden of the Illinois State Peni-
tentiary.

The Cincinnati Commercial, the or
gan of the Brinkerhoff party, thus re-
fers to the personal assaults that are
being made by the Grant journals
throughout the State upon the per-
sonal character of Col. Allen, the
Democratic candidate for Governor:
"If the disposition is, as it seems to
be among the Republican newspapers
of the State, to wage a personal war
fare upon the Democratic nominee
for Governor, impeaching his motives
and disparaging his commanding
abilities, they will discover before the
election that they have been engaged
in an Improbable labor. The name
of William Allen has for more than a
third of century been a synonym
for integrity, dignity and ability. He
is of the best fruitage of the Jackson
era of Democracy. We may differ
very widely from Mr.. Aliens politi-
cal opinions, and SO far as he is per-
sonally concerned, think he has made
a mistake in entering canvass which
has for its chief object, on the Demo-
cratic side, the return of Mr.. Thur
man to the Senate but no fair-minded
man viii be disposed to deny that he
would, if elected, as creditably fill the
office of Governor as any man who
has been or could be named for that
position"

The Radicals of this county held
their Convention at Citizens Hall on
Saturday last to ratify the programme
of the central Ring. The affair had
been SO well set up and managed that
the plans of the ring managers were
carried through with little jarring or
discord. The ball opened by the cleo
ton of Hon r. P. Cannon, President,
and II. H. Stevens and w. H. Ric-
seeker, Secretaries-aIl out and out
Garfieldites. The usual committees
were selected, and in choosing them
the Chairman had the invaluable ser
vices of the ring leader.
The following is the ticket ratified

The principal contest was over the
candidate for County Treasurer, but
the three or four months work de-
voted to fixing the matter up for
Beatty rendered his success certain,
notwithstanding his opponent was 8

through the war. The ring managers

1asThe World says it is singular fact,
andeone worthy of note, that the Re
publicans since they came into power
at Washington have three times in
creased the pay of Members of Con-
gress. The first Congress in which
the Republicans had majority elected
Nj Banks Speaker, and before the
adjouFnment increased the pay of
sCongressmea. Up to that time the
compensation was So per day, and the
Democrats thought it was ample. But
the Republicans were not satisfied
with this, end increased it to $1,000
in gold. In 1866 the Republicans
again o#entgi in for an increase, and
raised it to 5000 per year. This was
after the close of the war, when the
country was trying to get back from
! the inflated prices. Now comes an
other Republican Congress of 1872
and 1873, which votes another in
crease, and not satisfied to apply it
to only future sessions. provide for
back pay for the entire term about
expiring Whenit the bill passed. Thus
we have the irstaRd last Republican
Congress devoting itself to the Busi-
ness Of salary grabbing. It was the
first impulse of the party when it
came into power and has settled into
"a confirmed habit, a sort of second
nature. Republican rule has added a
heavy debt upon. the nation, and
enormous salaries are extorted,
three times Increased, closing with
back-pay grab. The people have paid
dearly. for Republican rulers,
