The Mahone-Johnson Difficulty.

RICHMOND, Oct l.-Nothlng is talked about
in the city, to-day, but the duel reported to be
about or to have been about to take place be-
tween Gen. Bradley T. johnson and Gen. VIM.
Malone. The casus belli is said to have been
the circulation 10 the city on the day the Pr-
mary election Of ''dodger' stating that Gen.
Malone had arrived in the city and instead OF
stopping at the Exchange had gone to the st.
James Hotel and not registered his name, but
was vi gorousy organizing opposition to Gen.
Johnson. 1t is said that as soon as Gen. Ma.
hone was informed of the tact that this ''dod-
ger was being circulated, be sent note to
Gen. johnson inquriug if he was the author
of it, or if not the author endorsed 1t. Gen.
johnson is reported to have replied promptly
that be not only endorsed it, but was at that
moment engaged In placing it before the public,
whereupon hostile messages werelnterchanged
and meeting was arranged to take place on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland to-day.
1t is presumed here that Gen. Malone was
seeking the appointed spot by way of Norfolk,
where be was captured by the mayor of Nor
folk upon telegram sent to him by the Chief
Of police Of Richmond.
There is a firm conviction in the minds of
we'll informed people that there will yet be a
duel. Gen. johnson, who is about entering
into Virginia politics, is thought to have al
ready distranchised himself by accepting the
challenge, and Of course, that consideration
caunot further Influence his actioDs-if indeed
it could have done so at any time.
The 'dodger' was not written by Gen. Johu-
son, but by one of his intimate friends. Prob
ably be never saw it until it was 10 print; but
undoubtedly be approved Of it and caused it to
have wide distribution. -Rtchmond Cor Of

The Cadet Examination.

EDS. HERALD:
Morrow, O.. Oct. 81. 1874,
A competitive examination Of appll-
cants was held in this place to deter
mine who should be recommended to-
day for the nomination, by Hon. John
Q. Smith, to the cadetship at West
Point.
Originally, the Board of Examiners
consisted of one from each county in
this Congressional District, but the
examiners from the counties of Clin-
ton and Clermont failed to attend
The Board then consisted of Millikin,
of Butler; Barnett, Of Warren; and
Priddy, of Fayette. Mr.. Godfrey, the
Principle of the schools in this place,
and a Mr.. Walker, of Butler county,
were pressed into service. Sixteen
young men were present, as applicants,
from the following counties: Clinton
5, Clermont 3, Warren 3, Butler 6,
Fayette l. Probably as intelligent q
class ofyoung men as could be brought
together in the district; and to be sue
cessful in such class was a triumph
to be proud of. The contest be tween
three of the applicants was so close
that it was difficult to decide which
should be the honored one. After an
hours consultation by the Board, ii
was determined that Mr.. Fred Ogle, Of
Washington c. H, Fayette county
Ohio, should be recommended to re
ceive the nomination. The Hon JOIN
@. Smith was present and expressed
himself to be well satisfied with TIL
result, and would cheerfully presen
Mr. Ogle as the cadet from the Sd Dis
trict.
thereby endorse this as being tn
, fairest, the most disinterested an
honorable manner of selecting from
all the young men in the district, il
, respective of party association or an

t sentative is, indeed worthy of til
thanks Of his constituency for the in
partial manner in which he has thu
bestowed his favor. P.

Gleanings From Exchanges.

The Chillicothe Gazette of last week
says; On Saturday morning last Mr.
Joseph Plyley, gentleman well
known throughout the country, met
with an accident of a most shocking
nature, and from which his recovery
will be long and uncertain. He was
engaged in picking apples, when he
missed his footing and fell to the
ground, striking it with his face, and
cutting his tongue almost in two with
his teeth. All the muscles of his chin
were torn loose from his lower jaw.
1t is supposed that this was done by
st lex or piece of limb being forced
in his mouth as he fell, and catching
in the membranes, thus lacerated them.
DR.. Jonathan Miesse was sent for, and
under his care MIR. Plyly is doing as
well as could be expected. He, how
ever, is subject to epilepsy, and should
that now suDervene, the result would
be serious.
The last rail on the Short line road
from Warren station to Parkersburg,
was laid on Saturday last. Maj. Pea
body is now engaged in making a
schedule of time, and trains will com
mence running over the new line in
about ten days. The old route will
be used as branch.
The first car of coal was shipped
over the Atlantic & Lake Erie Rail

officials. Among those already ripe,
this season we might mention Con

whom reside within its precincts.
J. G. Mag, who runs the distillery
near this city, was arrested and taken

Ezekiel Morris, of Washington
township, this season, had four acres
of barley, which yielded 1872 bushels
and then put the same ground in buck

raised the past season, sixteen acres
of barley, which averaged sixty bush
