A correspondent of the Norfolk Landmark
writes the following scandal from Washington:
"One Of our last scandals If not the latest, has
Just commenced to be whispered around in pri-
waite circles-good food for the gossips to gloat
over during the dull season. An official occu-
pying position in one of the Departments fell In

accepted. Nothing remarkable in that Every
thing went on happily until the appointment to
office of q beautiful lady, and being assigned

her favor to eaptivste him, which she seems to
have done with 8 perfectly reckless hand. During
office hours they exchanged glances, smiles and
seemed to affiliate from the start The official
stopped his visits to his intended, and soon the
rumor was spread around that he was engaged to
his pretty elerkess. He paid her all the atten-
ton and court that an enamored lover could. He
gave her q handsome diamond ring, and mag
nifcent locket that excited the envy Of many
damsel. His sister dying, his mother presented
her with several rolls of silk for dresses that had
been bought for the sister, but, owing her sick
ness and demise, had never been made up. The

thereby saving her pay for her; Under this

forwarded her pay to her address, which she re-

during this time letters were passing to and fro,
but now they did not come with the regularity of

that he could retain her second months pay for

MURCH CHARIOTs.
A Trial Trip in Wsshington-TheirP robabls
Adoption by the New Company.


The Washington Chariot Company organized
for the purpose Of establishing lines Of transpor.
tstion mot conflicting with the street railroads)
and placing thereon conveyances sufficient and
suitable to passenger and light freight trafic,
and especially for family marketing sccommoda-
tons, seems to be going about the work in good
earnest. The scheme meets the general appro-
baton Of the housekeeping public, who will have
in them convehiences never before offered in this
city. The sudden appearance upon the streets
yesterday Of the Murch coaches surprised as
much as they pleased the interested travellers
who supposed that operations had not been com.
menced.
The subcommittee, composed of Messrs James
II. McGnl and James q. Bowen, and selected
rfrom the committee Of i've recently appointed by
the company TO negotiate for the coaches, has
been to Cincinnati and paid visit to Mr.. O. w.

their regular trips. Leaving THE REPUBLICAN

taking in on the return the west half Of the pro-

The excursionists, among whom were Messrs
A. Davis, Jos. A. Hoffman, Jas. H. McGIlI, Jas.
9. Bowen, Mr.. Murch, b. E. Elliott, John Dunn,
John Harmon, II. Moran and others, were highly
pleased with the ride, and pronounced the coach
an elegant, comfortable and easY-running con-
yeyance. 1t will seat sixteen persons and carry
thirty-hve on crowd. The ride had o good
effect upon the stock, and several gentlemen
M. Morgan, MI: Lease and others-invested to
the extent Of s425. This bringb the total sales
this week up to $40 shares Of SIS each, or $4,000
Another run will be had this morning, from 1880
toll O'Clock, when both the winter and summer
chariots will be brought out.
The only objection which the stockholders urge
against the Murch chariots Is that they are too
luxurious, with their cushioned seats and orna-
mentations, to be profitable. What weight this
fault may have VIII be seen Monday, when the
matter OF accepting or refusing the chariots Will
be decided.

A mcst brutal and bloody ARRAY occurred last

pears that two men, one Of them named Charles
Bogue, came 10 the corner, where they halted and
engaged in conversation. Their words merged
into q dispute, which waxed warm, and In the

ting powerful blow, and knocking him into the

Of age, and Q butcher by occupation. He was
somewhat under the influence Of liquor, and ap-
peared willing to talk about everything else but
the circumstances connected with the case, and
the Information was only obtained through
patience In listening to his round-sbout stories
and plying repeated questions. He said that he
belonged In Phenixville, Chester county, Pa,
and came here week ago and was boarding at
