Lynchburg (Va.,) Ncrs: Without mem
tioning any names, we may lie permitted to
state the following facts: Three years ago
a prominent and well-known resident Of
neighboring county was ioully murdered
on his return home from this city, and nm
der circumstances of peculiar brutality.
Three persons suspected of the crime were
arrested and tried before two justices of
the neighborhood, and after thorough in
quiry discharged, though believed the
guilty parties. One of them removed to a
distant State, and died mIserably of a
loathsome disense. Another committed
suicide by shooting himself with musket.
And the third and last witness to that hor-
rible murder has gone to meet his confed-
crates in the spirit land, having fallen from
n railroad train, in drunken spree, and
crushed into shapeless mass hy the cars.
And thus it is that, while retribntion NAV
be long delayed, The murder of an unoffrn' :
ing citizen is avenged, and the community
breathes freer.

The two great men Of the New York
Democracy are Horatio Seymour and John
Morrisey--the brain and Drawn Of the pnr
ty. What a fine Secretary of War the
Honorable John would make, and how
lively it would be for the post-tradcrs, the
army bummers, the moth contractors and
tie thieves and lobbyists generally
about the War Department. OF the two
leaders, as they appeared at the Utica Con-
vcntIon, we think the Honorable John
made the better impression. His address,
like the poetry Of Walt Whitman, was free,
uncon6ned and sea breezy. The IIonora-
BILE John uscs his words rs he docs his fists,
for the expression and deveopement Of
ideas. The Honorable Ioratio uses his
words in the Taleyrand sense, for the con-
cealment OF ideas. OF the two ways, we
like Johns the best, in spite of the gram
mar. We know what he says when he is
through. We cannot always say ns much
Of Seymour, eloquent rs he is.-N Herald.

Speaker KERR deserves credit for his
ruling, Tuesday, on the Indian Bureau
clause Of the Appropriation Bill. The Dem.
ocrAts had attempted to override the refusal
OF the Senate to transfer the Indian Bu-
reau to the War Department, by tacking
such transfer on to the Appropriation Bill
The Republican members made the point
OF order, that such an amendment was not
germane to the bill, and consequently for
hidden By the rules. The Democrats. with
the exception OF Mr.. Cox, sustained the
amendment, but were overruled by the
Speaker. We are not familiar with the
merits OF this bill. but il is time to stop this
taeking on to appropriation bills, with the
hope OF g'tting them through, such bills
~ will not stand on their own merits.

SUCCESSION OF VEGETABLES.

A succession of certain kinds of vegeta.
bles is important in every garden. Sweet
corn should be planted every two weeks up
to July. Plant about three feet and a half
apart, with half shovelful of manure in
hill, after applying heavy coat of dung
plowed in; but let it be we'll rotted. Then
you need a succession of beans, both bush
and pole varieties; also of turnips and
beets, two sowIngS at least also of lettuce
and tomatoes. 1t does not pay to hire a
man to work a garden, except to prepare
the ground and plant the main crops, but
it does pay Ueil to have good garden, well
cultivated by ones own family. The boys
and girls can do the wedding.

A Santa Fe SOciable.

At about five O'Clock yesterday after
noon, says the Santa Fe NeU Mexican,
the usual quiet of our surroundings was
broken into by loud and repeated shots.
Suoposing that some one was emptying
navy revolver of old loads, we paid
no special heed until some person on
the street below sung out: "Joe Stinson
and Van Smith are shooting at each
other in the Plaza!" Fastening down,
we arrived in front of the Governor
residence, when we saw Mr.. Smith
standing on the east side of the Soldiers
Monument in the center of the Plaza,
holding Winchester 16-shooter at rest,
as if waiting for some one, all alone,
with blood streaming from one of his
hands. Colonel Wilson was the first
to reach him, and next came Governor
Army; to the latter Smith gave up his
gun and was led over to his room at the
Broad Gauge Saloon, and DR.. Gordon
Immediately summoned to his assist
ance. Going along with the crowd we
saw blood freely sprinkled about the mid
die eastern gate of the Plaza, and one of
the palings of the fence shattered by a
bullet. Across the street from this is
Messrs. Fisher & Lucas's jewelry estab-
lishmeRt. On each side of their large
show-window the wall had been perfo-
rated by bullets, and one had also
entered the shutters lying beneath the
window, greatly to the alarm of Mr..
Lucas, who was at work at his table
behind the glass. Next door, south, at
the Broad Gauge Saloon, another bullet
had shattered the sash in the lower
north corner of its window. Proceed
ing again to the monument in the Plaza,
we found blood spattered on its eastern
front and the indentation of a bullet in
the granite panel, high up on its north
eastern corner, and also the mark of a
glancing bullet on its southeastern cor
ner.
InquiriDg the origin and cause of so
much promiscuous shooting in one of
the most frequented thoroughfares and
densely populated portions of Santa Fe,
we were informed that Messrs. Joseph
Stinson and Van Smith had met that
afternoon in saloon, and while there
controversy sprung up between them
in which harsh language was used.
Both parties were very much under the
influence of liquor at the time, and to
settle the difficulty Stinson proposed to
Smith to meet him at the monument in
the Plaza, and fight it out the old way
with pistols. There the parties separat-
ed, Smith going to his room and pro-
curing a Winchester rifle, and Stinson
arming himself with a navy revolver.
StinsOn was on the ground first, and
seeing Smith coming across the street
with a rife, instead of a revolver, COM |
menced blazing away at long range
before Smith reached the gate. Having
emptied his revolver, Stinson leisurely
walked across the center of the Piazza 10
the west, and entered the drugstore of
DIR. John E. Murphy, Smith firing one
or more shots from the Winchester. In
this strange duel Smith received two Sc
we're but, we are pleased TO say, not
dangerous wounds, and Stinson escaped
without scratch. One Of the balls en-
tered the palm of Mr.. Smiths right
