Queen Notwithstanding Cele4
>>DratsOn. ~ A

To the Editor Of The VaUy Tryinian
Dear Mojor; "A few days ago you asked
my opinion Of the proposed Queen Victoria
birth day celebration at Richmond.
Although second to none in my respect
for the Quees, both on account Of he. private
and public worth, yet perhaps through obtu-
sity on my part, cannot see the policy or
wisdom Of the scheme as proposed. cou-
slider that the English in settling in Virgins
ia4 making it their future home, should as
much as possible, identify themselves with
the Vipgnians and their institutions.
I do not admire the spirit of isolation
which 50 macy Of my countrymen manifest,
No doubt many Of the customs and u7ases
here, are objsc ionable, and it would be
most simpea aud easy to fnd fault with them;
but on the other hand are there MT as many,
aavI believe more,i the old country equal
ly susceptible Of being found tault with?
Why restrict the banquet to English men,
their wives and daughters? N5where III
Virginia have heard Queen Victoria spa-
ken of, but with feelings of respect and add
miraton. I believe that the suooess Of this
celebration will be imperiled if it be made
to exclude Virginia ladies and gentlemen.
Each Epglishman should at least have the
privilege'pf giving two invitations to the
banquet, -ss Respectfully yours,
HIS.

AN ASTONISHING CASE OF BJaAMY.-At
the Tombs police court, New York, on We'd
nesday, there was an extraordinary case Of
bjgamy ventilated. The complaint was Mrs.
Catharine Bruder, a German, who lives with
her husband Benjamin Brudsr and three
children, at 206 West Twentieth street -
Bruder and his partner, VIM Livingston,
keep livery stable iu the first story, and
their families live in the second story. Liv-
ingston has a son twenty-five, who lives with
him. The latter has no regular occupation.
Mrs Bruder says that young Livingston en-
tered her rooms one day last October With
out knocking. He was apparently under the
influence of liquor. He asked her to marry
him, aud became desperate upon her refusal
He drew pistol and brandished it around,
swearing that he would shoot her, her hus-
band and children il she did not comply
He actually fired at her, and the ball pene-
trated the closet door against which she was
leaning. Mrs Oatharine Stohl, Mrs Bruder's
apartments. Hearing the pistol otshot she
entered the room and Livingston went out
Before he went he threatened both the wo-
men and all connected with them with in
slant death if they told any one Of what he
had done On the evening Of October IS,
Livingston again went to Mrs Bruder's room
and renewed his demands aud threats, using
the pistol as before. Ttis time no protec-
tor was near, and 10 mortal terror Mrs Bru-
der laid down her nursing baby and went
ont with Livingston, 81 hey went to the res
idence of the Rev w Fl Wardell. and were
there married Befrc they entered the
house of the preacher, Livingston renewed
his threats, and said he would shoot her
where she stood if she baked him by telling
the preacher. Livingston Was subsequently
arrested and hold for trial.

The most cruel outrag, that has ever been
perpetrated upon the growth and prosperity
of city, is that of the obstructionists of
Washington, in making a selfish war upon
Gov. Shepperd and, the Board Of Public
Works ofthe national capital. Gov. Shepperd
is marked man Of the age. He came up
from the jack plane by force of native g.
MUS to be one Of the most thorough men of
the times. His bold and daring efforts to
make Washington city what it should ha as
the nations capital, haVe encountered the
fossil ohstructionis,s, who had not the brains
nor the nerve to meet tho situation, and to
break him down, they have Matched up all
kinds Of charges against him. He demand
ed full Investigation, which is now going on
before committee of Congress. The de-
velopments thus far triumphantly viudicate
his administration, aud it is confidently expects
ed the final result will be 10 harmony with
the facts as, ascert tanned In the matter Of the
school interests. It is to be hoped that the
croakers will be forever silenced, and that
the enlightened policy which has been iuau-
gurated by Shepherd will not hereafter be
allowed to be nterfered with by men, who
think nothing ia right or honest that they
do not themselves do. Of course, the effect
is temporary stoppage to important i'm
provemsnts, but all over, they will be pushed
forward with renewed energy.
