"sPoNGINa" ON NEWSPAPERS.

Every mai thinks newspap +
fair game. If Il soc ETY. or amy bO'iy
OF men get up il concert OF IL ball,
or other from OF entertainment, the
object of which is to put money in
their pockets, or if the proceeds are
to be devoted to charitable purpos
es to add to their own glOrificatiOn,
they become very indignant if the
proprietor of a newspaper do not
assist them by series of gratui
tOus advertisements for several
weeks before the event takes place.
These gentlemen should remember
that literary men, i'll this practical
age, work for money AS well as for
fame, principally for the. former,
however, and the business mana
ger of a newspaper, if he wishes to
keep on the safe side of his ledger,
conducts his charge on the same
principle as the head of the bust
ness establishment. People who
are getting up ball would feel
chary of asking a pre- emf or pair
of gloves from any merchant Oh
that account, yet asking aud expec-
ting to receive a gratuitous adver-
tisement in similar demand. The
editor of the Marlboro Macs Jour
nal states the Case very plainly
when he informs his readers that
tive long ago adopted the plan of
our regular reading no.
tice price for all editorial announce
ments of entertainments to which
all admission fee is affixed. In the
way of news or news topices we
freely and gladly insert sketches OF
all entertainments after they have
become matters of history. 1t is
only the preliminary work, looking
to the drawing out OF increased pat
ronage from the public, for which
we expect cOmpensation."0N 0.

A NEWSPAPER QUARREL ENDING IN A
PERS0NALRENCONTR AND A MURDER.

Leavenworth, May 13.-The shoot
ing of Col. ID. r. Anthony by Mr..
Embry on Monday night grew out
of some severe. criticismSoi in An
thony's paper, the Times, on the Ty-
geographical Union. Last Tuesday
Con. Anthony, an Associated Press
agent, sent forth dispatch stating
that John S. Coulter, previously
foreman of the Commercial Office,
had been compelled to resign his
position by the Typographica-
Union that he had also been eXpcll
led from the Union, and treated
with so much harshness and injus-
tice that he had just committed
suicide. Upon this version of the
facts Col. Anthony commented
with great severity, denouncing the
Union, its officers, and members
without stint or mercy, and arraig-
ming them and their policy on
various allegations of dishonarable
conduct. These articles continued
to be printed even after the Times,
in It's local columns had reported
that Coulter bad not committed
suicide, but had died from an over
dose OfpOisOn not taken intentional
ly. The appeal, Mr.. Embry's paper,
retaliated by charging corruption in
the Post Office. The newspaper
controversy grew extremely bitter
and personal.
On Saturday evening, in front of
the Opera House, Anthony and
Embry met, and Embry de-
manded an apology for language
that Anthony had used. The latter
said. eco away 1 will have 10
controversy with you." Anthony
started to walk to ParhaM's drug
store, and Embry kicked him. On
Sunday morning the Times, pub
lished that Anthony was followed
by two cowardly assassins. The
Appeal burlesqued the rencontre,
and in editorial articles violently
denounced Anthony as a coward.
On Monday night, at the Opera
House, in the third act of ''De>
bOrah," when the stairway WAS va
cant, Embry and Anth ony met. the
latter going down and the former
up stairs. Anthony slapped EN-
bry in the face, aud the latter in>
stantly drew his pistol and fred
three shots, one taking effect in
Anthony's breast. Anthony fell
On the stairway and was carried to
the dress circle. Embry was ares
ted at the foot Of the stairs. The
greatest confusion prevailed. Men
and women shrieked and rushed
hither and thither in frantic alarm.
Embry, addressing himself to the
people in the parquet, said, "Keep
your seats no one will be hurt"
Embry's mouth was bleeding when
he WAS arrested.
Col. Anthony is a brother of Su-
san b. Anthony. He was one of the
leaders in the Free State of Jenni>
sons regiment during the war. He
has been Mayor of LeavenwOrth and
a member OF the Legislature, and is
now Postmaster of this city. An
tIlony is still alive, but there is no
hope OF his recovery.

Washington dispatch says that a
very rapid increase in the silver
coinage within short time causes
some Treasury officers to think that
the Secrettry will begin paying
out silver in lieu of fractional cur
rency before the meeting of Con-
gress in December next. II is es
timated that by the last of june
(tbe end of the present fiscal year,
there will be about six millions Of
dollars in silver coin in the Treas
ury, and that by the first of Sep

The following in a late copy of
the Free West, an ADglO-Amcrican
published in London:
The Hon. and Rev, James W-nt-
worth Leigh, brother of Lord
Leigh. of StoneIeigh Abbey, War
wickshire, who for some years held
the family living of StOnelrigh,
where lie was universally respected
has bid adieu to AlbiOn's migrate
full shore 9. and arrived in New York
recently by the White Star steamer
Celtic,en route for Georgia, where he
will make his home in future. The
estate which he goes to cultivate
ID the property Of Mrs. Leigh, an
American lady, whom the Hon.
and Rev. gentleman wOoed and won
whilst on tour in the country some
three years ago. The property is
Of vast extent, but owing to the I'M
results accruing to the
Southern States from the late un.
happy civil war, it is now only par
TALLY cultivated. One of tho far
famed Sea Islands, at one time pro-
1ucing the finest cotton in the
world, is included in the estate.
Sfr. Leigh has taken out with him
eightEnglish laborers,a blacksmith,
and wheelwright, and
their families. He proposes TO see
how these men like the country and
themselves to the comdi-
lions of climate. and if every thing
promises favorably he will, after
) time. encourage colonization OH a

the South is not in politicians and
force bills, but in an enlightened
public opinion. One Sometimes
is led to suppose that the South
cannot be svisited without insult,
and probably violence, should they
claim Lhe privilege OF free speech.
The best answer to such an impu-
ia! ion against catholic unity is tn
say heartily, SEQ South" meet its
hOspItabl people, who will gladly
share their last crust with q cour
teous guest; read for yourselves
the evidences of their loyalty

and witness their beautiful devo-

and hiGh-spirited, and lovers of
their traditions and their tireSides,
they shall speak of their woes in
the Language Ofresentment, think it
nothing strange.
Our task is done. We have pro-
posed to ourselves the work of do
ing what we could to shape public
opinion by relating what our eyes
have seen and our ears heard.
Cur reflections cannot possibly
have amy political significance,
save i'll the direction of real Un-

to-day, as We stood during the
bloody years of war; and, because
of that, We lift our voice for such
measures as shall make real Union
possible and easy. The South
needs and desires peace and pro-
lection. not only by, but against.
the Government. We are not un-
mindful of her faults, but we come
to night to plead only her virtues.
Already as we preach the sky
seems to be Frightening. Men of
all creeds, schools. and political
beliefs are beginning to vie with
each other in their efforts tn do their
brethen justice, and to engage
their gratitude and respect. God
speed the day when We shall again
have a united and happy country,
when inf lefty and ignorance, idle
ness and vice, shall be our only
foes, and IL common church fold

''The committee, at the head OF
