PRINCE NAPoLEoN.-A circular has been is
sued by Prince Napoleon to his constituents in
Corsica, in which he appeals to universal suf
frage to vindicate his rights against what he
assumes as the exercise of arbitrary power OF
NJ Theirs in exiing him from France. He
says he is prescribed because he is feared, and
reminds his countryman that the Bonapartes
have twice saved France. He declares that
liberty does not exist in France. and repeats
his allegiance to liberal principles, and asks
that this new trial of his banishment will not
weaken the hope or faith of France in the star
of the Bonapartes. Sum-

A PROPER LAw.-The New York Legisla-
ture has passed the bill, which has been for
some time pending, intended to prevent the
frequent accidents that occur from the careless
haodling of firearms. It is now misdemeanol
in New York to point gun, pistol or other
6rearm at any one, whether the weapon is load
ed or not, and the crime is punishable by fine
and Imprisonment. This is wholesome en
actment, well worthy Of imitation everywhere

The Next Legislature.

We have no ordinary battle to fight In the
coming canvass. Since the war closed, there
has not been an hour when it more behooved
the people of Virginia to choose their very
abest and most valuable citizens for the Gene
raj Assembly. 1t is expedient to do this in Or
der to carry the State, and save it from the in
finite and irrecoverable political perdition of
falling into the hands of Radicalism. We must
bring forward for this purpose gentlemen in
every county and city who have the full con-
hdence and respect of communities in which
they live, and who can bring out, by the force
of their abilities aud character, the full strength
of the Conservative vote. 1t may be said that
the best men In the community cannot be in
duced to accept positions in the State Legisa-
ture. Ii they cannot, then, unless absolute
duty to their families forbids, they are recreant
to their duties to their State which has the
right, especially in an emergency like that at
hand to the services of its best citizens, and re-
creant to their own interests, which must be
literally ruined, if Virginia falls into radical
hands. Every one OF US, on such an occasion,
should be ready to make sacrifices for the sake
OF the common good. 1t is not only important
to the success Of the State ticket that the
strongest men should be brought out for the
Legislature, but because questions of extreme
difficulty and delicacy, involving the prosperity
of the whole Commonwealth will come before
that body.
As the people in different parts of the State
are beginning to look about them for candidates
for the Legislature, we deem these suggestions
appropriate and seasonable. NeUs.

A PIENDISIs HOMICIDE.
One Negro Runs II Knife with nDcndiy
Thrust into the Breast Of
Another.

The head waiter ut the Commercial
hotel, In this city, came to his death
yesterday, by knife in the hands OF
another negro, aged about sixteen years,
under the following circumstances:
The murdered man had directed the
culprit to ITO some work, to which
request he replied with sufficient incl
Witty to arouse the anger of the de-
ceased, who picking up plate struck
his insulter on the head, knocking
him down. With that blow the brute
was aroused In the soul Of the PROSTATE
negro, and on recovering from the
stroke he caught n knife from the
table, and with the quickness Of II
thunderbolt drove it with fatal fury
into the right breast of the other negro,
who fell upon the floor, dying in few
moments afterwards.
AS soon as the deceased fell, it Is re-
ported that his slayer drew the knife
from the wound, and throwing II aside
ran out the door and made his escape.
Major Barkley, our newly elected
Sheriff, gave pursuit in about half an
hour after the commission of the deed,
and tracked him as far as White Rock.

MURDER.
A White Man Kills u Negro.

From policeman we learn that
about seven o'clock last night white
man, formerly employed at the Cen
trail hotel, killed a negro man in front
of the tent saloon, next to the Scott
house, on Elm street.
The cause of the killing grew out of
the fact that the white man had been
cohabiting with the negro's wife, a
rather good looking negress, and had,
as the negro alleged, upon several
occasions before the fatal meeting lust
night, threatened not only to take his
wife from him, but to take his life also.
The latter he accomplished last night,
by secretjng himself near Where the
negro passed and shooting him twice
from his covert. The murderer es-
capped.
