DueIing In Virginia.

The Richmond Whiy ssys that the
trial o. McCsr!y for the killing Of Nor
decai in q due, fought near that city 9
few mouihs ago, developed the curl
ous fac. that 70 offence had been com.
mi,ted agains, the snli-dueliDg statute
OF Virginia. Ths statute against dael-
log denouoees as murder the kIlhng
in a duel fought without the State BY
any resident Of Virginia upon PreTi-
ou: agreement made within the same; 1;
but is entirely silent IS TO any such
killing within the limits OF the Com
mooWealtb. and thus leaves tne same
as an offense at common law. Tha: ia
70 saw, il the duel between tnsse gen.
tlemeu had been fought outs'de oil Vir-
ginis, then the statute Of Virginia says
the killing Of either party would bs
murder, but makes 30 provision for ths
killing il done within the State.

CLEVELAND, March "A meeting Of
the stockholders of Cleveland, Colum-
bus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis rsil-
road, is in progress here to-day. The
contest between the Lake Shore, Allan
tic. aud Great Western interests, isVery
sharp, aud It is difficult 10 tell what the
result will be, athou. b the representa-
tives OF the lat,e- claim they have the
most votes. The Lake Shore ballots
nave not yet been cast, it having been
thought advisable before noon 10 make
q change in the list proposed Tor Drec-
tors. A pretty shsp discussion on the

,ypclAL dispatch from Hopedale'
Obio shows that work has been
.ctuslIy begun on the Eastern Division
oItbe Wheeling and Lake Erie Rail-
rosd. There is a vitality about this
enterprise which some OF our over
cautious citizens have been unwilling
10 recognize. The local resources Of
the projected road are wonderful, and
such experienced railroad men as the
present contractors, the Messrs. SHAND.
LEY, are surprised that railroad over
the contemplated route has not been
already built.
The enterprise has our heartiest
wishes for its success, even though our
own city may reap bat few advantages
therefrom.

DECLINES. Mr.. Harvey L. Pike, in
view OF the unseemly scramble for Office
In this county, has come to the sensible
conclusion that "the post of honor is the
private station" and therefore requests
US to say that he will not stand as a

and satisfactory to himself, without the
aid of Office.
