six is the Centennial year. 1t is
also the year when an Opposition
House of Representatives, the first
since the war, will be in power ut
Washington and the year of the
twenty third election of a President
of the United States. All of these
events are sure to be OF great inter
est and Importance, especially to the
two latter; and all of them and ev.
erything connected with them will
be fully and freshly reported and
expounded in The Sun.
The Opposition House Of. Repre-
sentatives, taking up the line of in
Quiry opened years ago by The Sun,
will sternly and diligently inyesti-
gate the cOrruptiOns and misdeeds
of Grants administration and will,
it is to be hoped, lay the foundation
for new and better period in our
National history. OF all this The
Sun will contain complete and ac-
curate accounts, furnishing its read
ers with early and trustworthy in
formation upon these absorbing
topics.
The twenty third Presidential
election, with the preparations for
it, will be memorable as deciding
upon Grants aspirations for third
term of power and plsndei, and

MINED HoMIcIDE.-John C.. Costley,
IT, l;ued,-Last evening, between four and
five o'clock, several men were in the Union
barroom, upper corner of Melpomene and
Dryades streets. Among them were 7. j.
Newhouse, J. C. Costley. Jr, and J. Z.
Irene. Irene asked Newhouse to play q
game of billiards, and they played two
games, after which tho two stepped to the
bar to take drinks. IRENE asked Costiey
to Join them, and he consented, though
slowly. During the time IRENE and New
house we're conversing about political
club. and the conversation became animat-
ed, resulting in the two clinchiRg. JUST
then Costley, having witnessed the
affair, drew a pistol, it is stated,
and pointed it toward Newhouse, when the
last named seized Costley's hand. At this
iuncture Dalton Newhouse, brother to L.
J. Newhouse, entered the room, having
heard loud talking; he, seeing that Irene
intended to attack his brother, caught hold
of him. While the younger Newhouse and
Costiey were engaged Newheuse's revolver
fell out of his pocket to the floor, and both
men reached for the weapon 1t was the
that q shot was fired, the bullet hitting
Costleys head, killing him almost instantly.
The proprietor of the barroom was at the
time waiting ON customers, and says that
he did not see the shooting and is unable to
testify as to the truth. Officers Fulton
and Weldon were near the scene and
entered the house Is soon a. possible
but the Newhouse brothers had gone into
the yard. where they were arrested. They
and IRENE we're arrested, but the latter
was released soon afterward. % he was
only charged with disturbing the peace
and the elder Newhouse was released lit
tie later. Irene subsequently visited q
political club meeting and made public
statement of his understanding OF the difh
guilty. Coroner Chsstsnt was summoned
and will hold an inquest to-day.
The above relation is given - heard by
our reporter. but it may not be q correct
version; indeed the statements furnished
copficted to such an extent that there II
no telling who was right and who wa
wrong. The coroner's jury will perhaps b
able to CLEAN the truth to-day.
