VIRGINIA POLTTTCS

The perplexity which now surrounds the
Democratic members of the House of Rep
'esentatives from Virginia is the natural
sesult not only of lack of manly honesty,
but of the disregard of political consistency,
bfwhich the entire Conservative party in the
State has been guilty. We have frequently
characterized that organization as the sham
Conservative party, because its pretence
70 conservatism, while, in reality, it is de-
voted to Democracy, is the most transparent
Of political shams. That other pretence of
. support Of the National Administration
has been exploded and exposed so COM
pletely that further allusion to it is not
needed; but just now the gentlemen re-
ferred to are in quandary about their ALE
glance to the mandate of King Caucus.
They have no idea of entering Republic
can caucus composed of legitimate and
honest friends and supporters of the Ma
donal Administration, and violently re.
oudiate all connection with the Republican
Or Administrstion panty in the House.
But the Democrats are fixing up quietly q
scheme for the resuscitation Of their former
strength in the control Of the Government,
and in doing this they are compelled TO a.
sort to certain measures which the psop1s
Of Virginia, under the influence Of PresE
a mi Gsnnt's administrator and The teach
Ing OF The Republican party, have leaned

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.

The simple question of the removal of q
bank proved the mine to explode addi-
tional invectivc against the District govern
meni in the House yesterday. Hagerstown
is now plentifully supplied with moneyed
institutions, and can therefore consistently
allow the transfer of one house to this city,
and, in consequence, all parties concerned
being satisfied, the regular process of appeal
to Congress was resorted to. But this was
an undoubted indication of commercial con-
fidence in the capital city, and must be
properly explained before final permission
could be granted. 1t is true that possible
interference with the business of our curb
stone brokers by the extra capital legiti-
mately afforded our citizens was not spoken
of, but the claim was made that the per-
sonal property Of the bank would be free
from taxation, and therefore somebody
must be injured. But it was not quite
transparent to spectators that the failure to
tax bank injured any individual, so long
as their assessments were not, in conse-
quencc, increased; and, as the Govern
not interested in the matter. These were
the two objections urged against the con-
templated change of locality by the bank,
but they served the more ,laudable purpose
of an extended assault on the District man
agement. But free and outspoken cham
pion for the great Improvements wrought
in this city was not wanting. Mr.. Todd,
of Pennsylvania. although new in legisla-
ton, completely exhibited the futility of
all attacks on the present government,
and delivered glowing eulogy on the
courage and ability of the men who under
took the great work Of transformation. Our
District Delegate also came to the support
of the present system of taxation in Wash
ington, and aided in the general overthrow
of the position assumed by the aggressor.
On the whole, yesterdays debate is clear
cxemplifcation of the fact that with free
discussion and unbiased judgment the oppo-
nents of progress are ever worsted. The
army bill, which subsequently, came up,
changed the prosecution, this time the
General Government being the defendant.
In the Senate an involuntary start was
made when the financial propositions ema-
mating from the Finance Committee were
brought to notice, but this was soon quoted
under the soothing influences of the bank
rupt bill. The active lawyers Of the body
were in their glory, and evidently watched
the progress made with an evil eye. for the
dainty morscl now being served is rapidly
being digested. But the day expired with
what might be termed an elegant sufi-
cheney" remaining for the morrow.

who these people arc 70 DESTROYS OF
wreaking their vengeance on Sharon,
and what he has done to provoke their
wrath. As to Sutro, the cause Of his en-
nifty Is very apparent. He projected an
undertaking out Of which he expected to
make an enormous fortune, but was dis
appointed, and that soured him and
makes him snarl and snap like O mad
dog at every one who does not agree
with his way Of thinking. An to the So
sallod Independent, that is against Sharon
because Sutro is opposed to him. Going
further, the Democrats are against him
for the reason that he does not train
with their party, and they alone arc able
to offer any reasonable grounds OF oppo-
sition. The others, Sutro especially,
are opposed 10 Sharon simply because
the latter is not in favor Of the. tunnel.
Sutro feels that the influence OF two Sem
atsrs from Nevada, who are not in favor
of his project, would prevent any fur.
Their legislation by Congress. This Ia

Fatal Array.

From the Eureka Sentinel, Sept. ISL
The Democratic primary election, yes
terday, on Ruby Hill. was attended with
. sad result, occasionsd by . dispute
arising at the polls between Owen Kssfe,
night foreman ut the Richmond mine,
and Edward Collins, a miner employed
at the Eureka Consolidated works. The
latter had been appointed n OF the
judges OF election, and yesterday morn
ing. o controversy being raised ss to his
legal right Of acting A. such, he came 70
town 10 be informed A. to what he should
do In tho matter. He wss assured that
there was nothing to prevent his acting,
and on returning he found the polls had
been opened and another man substi.
tuted in his place. Tho quarrel result
ing in the shooting and death Of Kssfs
occurred about 2 O'Clock in the after
neon. A diversity OF opinions are given
As TO who Was in the right, one claiming
Collins was justified, the other that II
was o cold-bloodsd murder. II il stated
by many that Kesfs had been unusually
active in challenging voters, particularly
in the case Of persons residing in the
southeastern part Of town. A dispute
occurred between him and Collins, which
soon oon led to abusive words, when
the fsrmer struck his opponent a blow
in the face, when the latter Immediately
drew . small dsrringer pistol. known as
q "Southsrner." and fred. the ball
taking effect in the left breast imns-
diatsly above the heart. Some say that
Collins was down. with Kssfs on the top
OF him, when the shot was fired; others
affirming that both were face to face at
the time. The wounded man was taken
to his residence and DR.. Connolly called,
but he lived only about an hour after
the shooting. Father Hynss was also
dispatched for and arrived in time to adj
minister the last rites Of the church to
the dying man.
Collins was arrested by officer Patrick
Mcbride. The feeling over the matter
at the time among the miners was in
tense, and the cry OF Lynch him. was
and under the excitement Of the
moment the prisoner would doubtless
have bsen sunmarily dealt with but for
the timely arrival Of Deputy Sheriff
Mike Walsh, to whom Collins was turned
over, and taken to the County Jail,
he how IL. Koefs was we'll known
in town and Ruby Hill, and had many
friends. He leaves o wife and four
small children, wholly unprovided for.
Collins, the slayer, Is about thirty
years Of age; has been on tho Hill for
some mouths, and until yesterday was
licked upon u . ~peacsable man. Wis.,
itng him at the Jail yesterday, he made
q statement similar 10 the above report,
aud claims that he was forced to do a.
he did.
The different versions OF tho affray
are conflicting. and not until the Cor
onsr's inquest and the testimony OF the
witnesses be given can o correct state
ment Of the fatal ARRAY be arrived at.
The funeral Of Mr.. Keefs will take
place tomorrow, under the auspices Of
the Ancient Order OF Hibernians.
