LEGISLATIVE DoISGs.-The whiskey bill
(Motfett's) passed the House yesterday. The
tax per drink OF alcoholic liquors is two
and a half cents; malt liquor, half a cent.
Friends Of the measure are confident that ii
will go'through the Senate without trouble.
The House wants to appoint commits.
sioner of agriculture, and the Senate is OF
opinion that railroad commissioner is
needed. Each body has passed bill to
carry out its idea, and is waiting for the
other to act. There are already quite q
number of candidates in the field.
The House yesterday passed the reappor-
tionment bill. Senators say they will post
pone it indefinitely. 1t is very probable.
The canal-lease bill passed the Senate yes
terday. 1t now goes back to tie House with
Senate amendments.

LOCAL MA TIERS.

| The CAPITOL SHOOTING AFFAIR - Mr..
GoODE SENT ON TO THE GRAND JURY FOR
INDI T.-Police-Justic White yester-
day morning examined the case OF James
f. Goode, charged with shooting and very
slightly wounding William Ellis Jones in
the difficulty between the two which oc-
Cured at the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon.
'rhe facts elected were in substance about
the same as those heretofore published in
this paper.
Colonel w. W. Gordon, counsel for Mr..
Goode, asked the Police Justice only to in
flict such punishment upon accused as
might be deemed necessary for violation OF
the law as to carrying concealed weapons.
He stated that the meeting between the two
was purely accidental, and that Goode bore
no malice towards Jones, and that Goodies
expressions about Clemmitt were the result
OF passion, and that Goode desired publicly
to say that he was satisfied that Clemmitt
was honest and conscientious in the testi-
mony he (Clemmitt) gave in to the Commit
tee on Printing.
Major Robert Stiles, who was counsel for
Clcmmitt & Jones before the Printing Com
mittee, joined Colonel Gordon in asking
that Goode might be as leniently treated as
possible. He appeared at this time merely
as citizen, having the good Of the COM
lnunity at heart, to urge that, as the
meeting was accidental, and as Goode bore
no malice towards Jones, and had made re-
traction Of the language used in reference
to Clemmitt, the ends of justice would be
we'll satisfied by imposing upon Goode the
smallest punishment possible.
Captain GeorgeD. Wise, Commonwealth
attorney, opposed the suggestion ct Colonel
| Gordon. lie held that Goode had not only
been guilty OF carrying concealed weapon,
but had grossly insuted Jones and then
shot him, and all this in the Capitol OF the
State. Both parties were friends OF his, and
he felt reluctant to press the prosecution,
but sense Of public duty compelled him
| to do 80. 49,
Accused was sent on to the grand Jury to
answer for shooting with intent to kill. He
gave bail in the sum OF $4,000, with G. A.
Hundey, o. NJ. Marshall, and L. L. Bass rs
sureties. 75
It is admitted on all sides that Mr.. Jones
has acted very handsomely in this matter.
He did not have Goode arrested, and even
now does not wish to see him punished.

another accident at Clover HW.-Your

"Friend". "a Clover-Hill correspondent,
received the following information concern
ing an accident there on the morning Of
the 10Th:
can accident happened to the engine at
Bright Hope pit this morning at Sc O'Clock,
by which the rock-arm and spur-wheel
were broken and valve-stem bent. Fortu-
nately no one was injured. There are ten
or twelve men in the pit, and cannot be got
ten out until q new rock-arm is made"
Since the above was received we are glad
to learn that the workmen have been got
ten out, and it is probable that work is by
this time resumed. We thank Friend"
very much for his promptness in advising
us about affairs at Glover Hill. His former
communications were received, but were
not noticed because they arrived too long
after the occurrences they reported.

THE MozART.-The forty-fifth musicale OF
this Association was given last night to 4
brilliant audience, and the programme was
happily short, we'll chosen, and greatly en-
ioycd.
Miss Cooke sang Two solos, in which she
rendered some most difficult vocalization
with her usual correct taste. She is 4 fin
ishcd musician. and her execution is OF no
ordinary order. Mr.. J. E. Mitchell made
his first appearance at the Mozart, and sang
Campana's "Scout" with much spirit. He
has good voice, and sings with ease.
In his baritone solo "Let All Obey" Mr.
R. s. Chamberluyne acquitted himself most
handsomely, and received an enthusiastic
applause. He possesses sweet, rich bari
tone voice, and one which, for its natural
beauty and perfection Of tone, surpasses
any that Richmond has Of late years pro-
duced. -.....
Miss Rust's piano solo was given with a
precision and accuracy surprising for one
Of her years.
The orchestra was in fine trim, and gave
very faithfully the overtures OF ola Dame
Blanche" and "Tancrede and the
"Amelia Waltzes." In their playing there
was more expression than heretofore, and a
mo0uation observable, much more in keep
ing with the capacity of the hall. It is very
low pitched. and will not bear much forte
expression from so large an orchestra.
