The WOUNDING OF TIE POSTMASTER OF
DANvILLE.-Last w ednesday night diff
Guilty occurred between Mr.. a.. VI. Wheeler,
| the postmaster mt Danvillc, and Mr.. William
Keen, a tobacconist OF that city, which re-
suited in the shooting OF the former by the
latter and the stabbing OF Wheeler by some
unknown person. From some unaccounta-
bic cause the Danville papers have been
rather reticicnt on the subject.
Ii our account of this difficulty be cor.
rect, it was extremely unfortunate, and
varies very materially from other prevailing
rumors OF its origin and transaction. We
are informed that Mr.. Keen, who had been
quite sick for some time, was sufficiently
well on Wednesday to 60 to the post-offlce
and attempt to get his mail, but FOUND his
box closed so that he could not open it, and
ascertaining the cause-to wit, that his box
rent was overdue, and his mail accordingly
withheld-Nfr. Keen became enraged and de-
nounccd the postmaster in very harsh Ian
ellage, which was not resented at the
time. That night Mr.. Wheeler went over
to the Arlington House, where Mr..
Keen boarded, and meeting with him
demanded retracton OF the language.
Keen told him that he would retract one
part of his language. but proceeded to de-
nounce HIM in other language equally as Sc
we're; ut which Wheeler struck him, knock
ing him down, and jumped on him. Keen
drew pistol, which was presented, and if
discharged as intended it might have re-
suited fatally, but it was ierked from him
by bystander, and the shot avoided; but
he managed to discharge his pistol, inflict-
Ing Slight wound in Wheeler's hand.
During the time Wheeler was stabbed in the
side by some of the party standing by, the
wound, however, being slight.
This, as we are informed, is the sum total
of the affair, and politics, as rumor has it,
had nothing on earth to do with it,
II the version above given is true, Mr..
Keen was wrong in denouncing Mr..
Wheeler. The law, as we know, compels Il
postmaster to close box for rent in arrears,
and ii in doing this Mr.. Keen became Of
Tended, it was unfortunate and wrong, and
we think Mr.. Wheeler had right, under
such a state of facts, to ask and expect n re-
traction. The demand, however, was doubt
less made on Keen unexpectedly, and he
acted, after being struck by Wheeler, just
as any other man in his condition would
have done. The stabbing part, however,
was extremely wrong, and is much to be re-
GREETED. 1t would have been far better had
the person who inflicted the stab parted the
belligcrcnts. Our views above are based
entirely on the premises that our informa-
ton is correct. Circumstances being
changed the case might be changed. chat

Cool PROCEEDINGS OF LYNCHERs-A
WIFE VOTES TO HANG HER HUsBAND.-It
was stated in Yesterdays issue that the ne
gro who committed the rape upon the little
white girl near Jefferson, S. c., had been
caught near the Arson county line and
taken to South Carolina. We learn to-day
that when the party who had him in charge
arrived at Jefferson a crowd OF three or
four hundred people, including both ne
groes and whites, collected, and the ques-
ton OF hanging him on the spot where
the rape was committed was dis
clissed. 1t was finally decided to set
tic the matter by vote. A line
was drawn, and all who were in favor
OF hanging were requested to pass to one
side OF it. Every person in the crowd, in
GLIDING the wife of the negro, came over
except one. When informed of his fate he
confessed the crime, telling the same story
as that given by the little girl, without hav-
ing heard her report OF it. He was then
taken to q tree near by and hung till he was
dead. From all we can hear there was no
undue influence brought to bear upon the
crowd to excite their feelings of revenge,
but that their actions throughout was that
OF men who were determined that crime in
its vilest form should receive its reward,
and that speedily, in order TO insure protec-
ton to. the people of the community

\ PENNSYLVANIA TRAGEDY.-A core
spondent of the New York Sun, writing
from Hamburg, Pa, states that on Sunday
night last a terrible tragedy occurred in the
billy region in York county, which was par
ticipated in by band called the 'forty
thieves" who had been driven from Lam
caster county and taken up their habitation
i'll cave in the hills. During drunken
carousal on Sunday last one of the men, Big
Mike, accused the chief, Bill Pratt, of I'M
fairness in the division Of plumber that had
been stolen the night before. This led to a
fight between them, eventually involving
nearly the entire party. at the close OF the
atfray, which was only stopped because of
sheer exhaustion upon the part OF some of
the participants, three Of the men had been
stabbed to death. They were known as
Patsy Burns, Dutchman Green, and Greasy
Bob. Big Mike, the chief, and two women
were severely wounded, and Big Mike died
on Monday. The murdered men were bu-
ried where they lay, and preparations are
being made for the capture OF the murderers,
who are supposed to have gone in the direc-
tion of the Cumberland valley, with the in
IGNITION OF escaping into. Maryland or West
Virginia.

we heard some time ago that the Repu6-
Means expected to elect HAYES by two ma
ssority in the electoral college. The procia-
nation OF GRANT that he intends to use the
army for the purpose OF electing HAYES
shows hon this small majority is to be OBJ
tanned: and the statement which comes
from Washington that the States he intends
TO force into the Republican ranks are North
Carolina. South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana, shows ,ohere this small majority
is to come from. This is close-euttlng

Gen eral Sherman.

General SHERMAN seems to be almost as
ignorant as General GRANT i'll regard to COLI
stitutions and laws. That is, il he said, as
he is represented as saying, that Mr.. LORDS
resolution was Joint resolution and had to
be obcycd. For, in the first place, the re-
solution was never passed by the Senate at
all, and hence could not possibly be Joint
resolution. But secondly the resolution it
self contradictS General SHERMAN'S state
ment. 1t reads:
BE it resolved Jy the House Of Repre-
sentatiUeS.'
Not by the Senate and House of Repre-
scntativcs.
And, thirdly, the resolution says not Il
word rs to the use OF the army, but or the
contrary expressly declares that 1.-THE
courts' are the proper instruments for
punishin" the offenders whom the rcsOlu-
ton dcnOunccs.
IL General SHERMAN were anxious to be 4
law-abiding officer, he would know that the
Supreme Court OF the United States has
plainly decided, and said in unmistakable
words, that the offences winch General
GRANT has erected into offences against the
Federal Government are in fact nothing but
offences against the State laws and coguiza-
BILE only in the State courts.
But it was never expected OF a military
man that he should do much more than
obey orders. General HANCOCK's friends
claim that his duty to do so was an all-suffi-
cient answer to the charge that he did wrong
in executing Mrs. SURRATT and the rest OF
the victims of an unlawful military court.
General SHERMAN'S friends are entitled to
the benefit OF similar plea ii it is good
one. But even this plea will hardly justify
him in giving the force OF law to House
resolution, and pcrverting the terms Of that
resolution so as to make it Justify him in
using the army to do what that resolution
says the courts must do.
