Capt. Mills was selected by the Re-
publican Convention for Auditor by a

TIE ORKNEY SPRINGS HOMICIDE
Our Harrisonburg correspondent men
tions the death Of Coss Johnson, result
inc from rencounter with Capt John
Avis, at Orkney Springs on Friday last,
the 9Th inst. We have learned from
Captain Jack Moore, the proprietor OF
the springs, the particulars Of the diff
Guilty, and from them there is no ques-
ton that Captain Avis acted entirely in
self defence. Some six months ago
Capt. Avis, who is CommSsary Stew
ard at Orkney, had given orders that
johnson should not have any liquor at
the Springs. This inceEsed Johnson,
and he frequently threatened TO Kill
Avis, in consequence. He placed him,
self in a position to waylay the Captain
shortly after the order iorbidiDg liquor
being sold to him, and made an assault
after night, with stick. Avis wrench
ed the stick from him, or got possession
of it in the scuflle, and inflicted severe
punishment on johnson. From that
time until the rencounter last Friday,
Johnson had frequently threatened that
lie would kill Avis, and on Friday last
said that he would Kill him before he
went to bed. Avis had passed into the
store and through the main room, into
a back room. Johnson came in the front
room, and started to follow Avis, when
he was stopped by the Clerk, with whom
he had a scutile, the Clerk endeavoring
to keep him away from Avis. In the
meantime Avis, who knew nothing Of
the cause Of the scutfie, passed out again.
Johnson got away from The Clerk, and
started after Avis, who was in advance
some distance, unaware OF the purpose
of Johnson. He was called back to the
store, ard met Johnson, by whom the
assault was commenced by severe lick
with the fist. The two clinched, and in
the attempt TO part them, both fell,
while on the ground Avis picked up
stone and struck Johnson on the head.
They were separated after much Difficult
tv, when Johnson again seized Avis in
the collar, and dragged him to the
ground, when Avis again struck twice
with the stone he had in his hand. This
closed the conflict, although Johnson
still continued to breath threats OF ven
geance and murder johnson was not
stunned by the blows he had received.
He went about in the rain, aud contin-
ued to inhale liquor which be had pro
cured from an outside source. His
wounds were dressed by force, he refus-
ING to consent to any surgical attention.
He finally became Frustrated and died
on Sunday morning from the effects,
no doubt Of the wounds, dissipation and
exposure. There was no fracture of
the skull.
Capt Avis was well known in this
city during the war as Provost Marshal.
! He was the jailor of John Brown, and
we believe his hangsman. johnson was
a huckster of milk to the cabin visitors
of the Springs, but had no employment
at or connection with the establishment.
He had been married, but We learn did
net live with his wife.
The statement given US exhonerates
Captain Avis from criminal intent in
the unfortunate Stanton Iir-
ginian, Stpf.l3.

INCENpIARIsM RAMPANT-The alarm

about half-past eight o'clock on Thurs

the Charlestown Mill Our fire depart
ment and citizens promptly repaired to
the scene of the conhagration and by
active and continued efforts, which were
kept up nearly all night, succeeded in
exiinguishing the fire and saving the
barn and other buildings and two stacks
of wheat adjoining the barn. Two large
stacks Of wheat and small stack OF
oats were destroyed, entailing loss OF
about one thousand dollars. The whole
was insured in the Franklin Insurance
Company, Of Wheeling, represented by
Z. NJ Aisquith, Esq. This act OF IN
cendiarism was one of the boldest we
have ever known. 1t occurred early in
the evening, on a beautiful, clear moon
light night, Immediately in the suburbs
of the town, only short distance from
the farm dwelling, occupied by MIR.
Thomas Frazier and family, and within
small compass between public road
and the railroad, both of which are OF:
ten frequented between dark and bed

toned fire had been gotten under con
trol-between nine and ten. oclock-a
fire was discovered upon the farm OF ii.

a half from town and half mile from
the residence of that gentleman. The
property fired and destroyed there con
sisted Of large field barn, with large
quantity of unthreshed cloyerseed, the
whole valued at eight or nine hundred
dollars. No insurance.
After the occurrence of the fires on
Thursday night mounted patrol was
hastily gathered together, and secured
the country in different directions, but
up to this writing we have heard of no
clue to the party or parties responsible
for these fendish acts.-Spirit.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TOUR.

AS the readers of the Register are
aware, the President OF the United
States, accompanied by several mem
bers of his cabinet, has been swinging
around the circle" or in other words,
been making visit to several of the
Southern States, and the way in which
the presidential party has been met by
the people is certainly all that could
have been desired. The speeches made
by the President were manly, straight
forward and to the point. There was
nothing ambiguous about them. He
addressed himself 10 the good common
sense of the people. and the people in
turn gave him cordial and sympathet-
is hearing. The President laid aside
party and ignored professional pol
iticians altogether. Old is>uss-issues
that have kept the sections apart these
many years-were quietly buried out of
sight and were no; as much as even al
luded to in any of his public utteranceS.
Every where the President went he
was met by the leading men OF the
South in both the great political parties,
the democratic leaders being as cordial
in their Endorsement Of the Presidents
policy as the republicans could possibly
he. The people evidently believe Mr..
Hayes is sincere in his efforts TO pacity
the country, and they cheerfully render
him that support which they think his
patriotic motives deserve The effect
OF the presidential tour cannot but have
a good effect upon the people OF the
whole country, and so far towards
breaking down the influences which
professional politicians and demagogues
have exerted to keep the sections apart
In this regard, barring the precedent
and the manner of the Presidents cleo
ton to the high office which he fills,
Mr.. Hayes is certainly doing the very
work which it was thought might be
best done 10y democratic admlnistra-
ton, and the country is fortunately not
suffering from continuance in power
of the party which had brought it to
the verge of anarchy and ruin. Let US
hope, moreover, now that he has risen
above mere partizanship, that his efforts
will be seconded by the fair minded and
patriotic people Of all sections of the
country, and thus make it impossible
for the Blaines, Buffers and others of
that ilk further to disturb the peace of
the Union.
