IT is generally believed at Wash
ingtcn, that Hayes has so ipgratiated
himself into Me favor Of the people
every where that the attempt to break
him down in his Southern policy will
be abandoned. Some Of the sore
heads are anxious to arraign him for
treachery to those who put him in Of.
fee, but the antagonism towards him
is daily weakening. The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer says that The only danger
which now besets Hayes is the just
criticism which his Civil Service poll
cy invites. The theory has been ap-
plauded, but the practice has not been
in accord with il. II before Congress
meets, Hayes shows a disposition to
enforce Civil Service Reform in its
true meaning, he will have placed the
disgruntled ones hors de combat, leav-
ing them not peg upon which to
hang their differences. He is good
deal stronger than his party, and the
machine managers are fast beginning
to find il out"

county, in which Maupin Dangerously shot
Burnam. Burnam Afterwards had Maupin

Term Of the Court. Burnam had made
many threats and as many DEMONSTRATIONS
to attack Maupin, and after Court adj.
journed yesterday evening. Burnam tried
to draw Maupin intoa difficulty In front Of
the Courthouse door, but fsiled. He then
selected two Of his friends and placed
themselves on the pavement between Mau-
pin and the stable where Maupin's horse
was, and when NJ. saw him in his passway,
he hesitated sometime whether he would
attempt TO pass or not, but finally Maupin
resolved to try tc pass him. Maupin drew
his pistol and attempted TO walk by with
il in his hand, and just as he was about to
pass, Burnam drew his pistol aud they fired
simultaneously, each shooting the other
through the head. Two Of Maupin's broth
