MIR. WALKERS paper, the Charleston
Courier, deprecstes any agitation Of the
Capital question, and concludes review
oil the agitationS that have taken place at
one time and another in Virginia in favor
OF the removal OF the Capital from Rich.
mond TO some other point, with the fol-
lowing remark:
Capital removals is not one OF the
faults OF the Virginians, and some OF her
neighbor1 might learn the lesson 10 ad-
vantage"
The neighbor referred 10 Is the sover.
elgn State Of West Virginia we presume.
But what does Mr.. WALKER do with the
TACT that the Capital Of Virginia was once at
Williamsburg, and was removed from that
place to Richmond because Of the greater
Importance OF the latter and its accessi.
bllity to a greater number ot people And
what would be thought nowadays OF the
removal Of the capital Of Virginia from
Richmond back to place like Williams.
burgS And yet would 1t look much more
ridiculous than did the removal OF the
Capital Of West Virginia from Wheeling
to Charleston Not much more we opinc.
When the Capital Of West Virginia, like
that Of the old State, is located at Its
principal city, it will then be in order Tor
Mr.. WALKER to hold up the example of
Virginia to us. and 10 discourage any fur.
ther agitation of the question.

Two Negroes Eight a Duel.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March S.-Two negroes,
Peter Blair and Moses Sullivan, had some
angry words, during which Blair told
Sullivan he was no gentleman, The lat
ter demanded an apology or satisfaction
with shot guns or pistols. Blair replied
that he had no apology to make, but ac-
cepted the challenge, naming the time,
place and weapons. The parties met at
Sand Bar Ferry this morning, accompa-
MED by their seconds, two negroes named
Ralph Knight and William Armstrong.
The ground was paced of and Colts five
shooters placed In the hands Of the prin.
cipals. Knight gave the words Of com
mand. He said, "Peter, Is you ready ?"
Peter said, "Yes sab" Moses, Il YOU
readys" Moses replied, ayes sab" They
then commenced shooting and both par
ties fired away until the last barrel was
discharged. The pistols were reloaded, i,
the principals resumed their positions, the
words OF command were repeated and the
firing recommended, and was continued
until Blair fell to the ground, shot through
both legs. The parties returned to the
city Immediately.

Throughout Germany, whenever girls

Of those who attend the windows for the

IN all the cafes and restaurants are Of
the same sex. They are generally yery

fact that 30 many females are employed
in the toughest and1hardest descriptions
OF laboring work, 1t speaks well Tor the
sex that they are seeking and securing

The money writer Of the New York

vantage OF whatever benefit may be de-
rived from the final action of Congress in

who claim, and perhaps with good reason,
TO understand the views Of the Admins

that imitation Is iorgone conclusion, and
that the positive demonstration ot that
policy is only a matter Of time. They
claim that both financially and politically
expansion is necessity, for the reasons
that Inc present system oi taxation, as
business runs, will not furnish an ade.
quate revenue to meet the requirements
OF the Treasury; that the party in power
lear the political effect oil additional tax,

UAshINuTONI march Z.
The House met, for debate on the tax
bll, Mr.. Wilson, OF Iowa, In the chair,
The Speaker protein was addressed by Mr.
Wood. Mr.. Beck, another member OF
tho Committee on Ways and Means fol-
lowed. He criticised the course Of The
Secretary Of the Treasury, and rldiculed
him for the panic he had got into about
finances. he (Beck) thought there was
no occasion for that panic, and he had no
hesitation In announcing that he would
never vote In the present condition OF
things either In favor OF taxation. or 10
add TO the interest bearing debt Of the
country. The Secretary had seen ct In
palpable violation Of the law to issue
$25, ,000, 900 oi the $44,0O0,000 which he
tacetiously called reserve. He (Bsckl In.
tended 10 insist that the act should be
legalized, but he would not hide the fact
that the issue was illegal. 1t was no
wonder, however, to find insubordination
in the Executive Department when the
President OF the United States was seen
to take the State Of Louisiana by the
throat and by fraudulent opinions pre-
viously obtained from drunken Judges.
put the Federal loot on tho neck Of that
people.
Alter discussion with MIR. Garfield on
the question Of q reduction OF taxes, Mr..
Beck referred 10 the enormous sums paid
to custom house officials in New York
and Boston, and stated that the Collector,
Surveyor and Naval Officers Of New
York, whose principle business It was to
control primary conventions and stuff
ballot boxes, had received since this Ad-
ministration came into power more than
would pay the whole United States SEN
ate for q year and a half. He had no
sympathy with talk about irredeemable
paper currency. The currency could not
be irredeemable while the Government
collected taxes averaging for some years
$4OO, 100000; and which, by taking
payment OF It's own duties In currency,
would absorb every dollar Of the green
backs In twelve months. The merchants
would be glad of 1t, but the bondholders
demurred and protested. The Monopolists
1emurred II Congress would" abolish
National Btnks and make banking
Tree, or better still, use government cur
rency. 1t would all come right.
Mr.. Kelley, another member Of the
Committee on Ways and Means, next
addressed the House.
