THE Conservative journals Of the state
have all taken The Dispatches cue, and are
jubilant enough over the recent election,
as one that has saved Virginia latter the
fashion of four years ago.. from the rule
of the "ngger and outside barbarian. ,
Well, any way to save the dear old state,
and if salvation is to come Through Bour-
bonism, we won't object to the miracle,
nor dispute its authenticity when once made
apparent to our incredulous senses. 1t is
possible, perhaps, for life and activity to
come out of dead lion, as instanced by
the piece of dramatism in Judges, where
the bees swarmed out Of the neck of the
young lion rent by Samson; but as that
is the only historical instance, not SCI
down as absolute fable, we must confess
to some incredulousness still as regards
the animating prospect before us.

There is no end to the follies and eccen-
trcities arising under that intangible code
which ''men Of HONOR as they persist in
calling themselves, adhere to as the rule Of
action governing their conduct under GER
tain given circumstances. A proposition
to leap hand in hand from the dome of the
National Capitol, in order to settle per-
sonal difference, is a unique, if not
felicitious one, as that would be to leap
into the crater of Etna at the present
time, to get rid of the necessity of making.
a less heroic entrance into eternity by meas
uring rapiers. But the proposition to
commit suicide on the hazard of game
of cards, is the last phase Of this
mania for Jumping the life to Gomez" and
the fashionable bellies of Heidelburg
must have enjoyed a sensation fully equal
to the popular demand, when the follow
ing affair of honor came off short time
since, in that city of splendid universities:
1t appears that four young men, who
had formerly been intimate friends, met
on the 9th of September, at the Swan
Tavern, in Heidelberg, and after drinking
pretty freely, began to quarrel. One Ct
them, Count Ottendorf, called Mr..
Silfred Meyer, an American from Chicago,
cowardly Jew, whereupon the latter
promptly challenged HIM. Ottendorl
accepted the challenge Immediately.
Meyer, in tone of great excitement,
proposed that all four should repair to the
Ritter Hotel and there play a game o.
'sixty-six." The loser should shoo
himself with q pistol. This proposition
was accepted, and the four students re
paired to the hotel. They ordered win
and cards to be brought up to privat
> room, and Ludeken, one Of the four
, procured two loaded pistols from neigh
, boring armorer. The fourth studen
/ dealt the cards, and Ottendorf and Meye
> seated themselves, a pistol lying b.
the side of each. The first fey
minutes the game remained almost ever
. But then Meyer obtained a singl
g advantage, and Ottendorf, seeing that b
Y was lost, suddenly jumped up, and ex
: claiming, "Adieu, my friends" seized hi
> pistol and shot himself through the righ
, temple. He fell a corpse to the floor, Will
Q his companions stood as if petrifed for

cept OF copy OF the testimony taken in the Wa

pressed with the duty devolving upon him, and
that he shall commence at once to serve notice
upon the President OF the Potomac Ferry Company
and the unlicensed officers employed on the Wa
wasset that suit has been instituted against them
for violation of the Steamboat law. The company
has already been informed that the Steamboat As

will be obliged to enforce it.
The Body of s.Beau'' Hickman Horribly
Mutilated.
Efforts are being made to-day by the Chief Of
Police to discover the mutilatorS OF the body OF
"Beau' Hickman, which soon after interment in
Potters Field was exhumed, the legs disjointed at
the hips, the head severed from the trunk and
skinned, the viscera taken out and removed, with
the exception of the heart, which found in the
basket near by, wrapped in newspaper. dis
sectlng ivory handled knife was found in the
vicinity. From appearances 1t is thought the par
ties were frightened from their work before they
had completed their plans. Some benevolent gen.
tlemen had made arrangements to give the body
decent burial In the congressional Cemetery, and
on the undertaker's going to Potter's Field to re-
move it the sickening mutilation was first discov-
ered The remains, however, were collected, placed
in new colin and inferred at the cemetery.
