Public Sentiment.

From the indications, as furnished by
the Press, it would seem that public
sentiment is in favor of the adoption
of the plan of settlement reported to
the Senate and the House by the COM
mittees upon the counting of the electo-
raj vote. The probabilities are that
the bill will pass both Houses of Con-
gress. The greatest opposition to it SO
far has been by the extreme Radical
Press. This bill was taken up in the
Senate on Saturday, when Senator Ed
munds Republican, in explanation and
in advocacy of all it's important provi-
sions. maintaining the constitutionality
OF the bill, and the propriety of its
adoption. The Washington Cores

opposition will come from the Republi-
can side. But in the House it has Bit

CASE OF STABBING AT LEXINGTON
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch says that, while skating on
river Cadet Walter L. KERN and col
ored boy named George Roleford acct
IDENTIFY ran against each other. A quar-
rel followed, which resulted in the cadet
inficting knife-wound in the left arm
of the boy and stabbing him over the
heart; but the cadet did little or on in
jury, as the point of the knife came in
contact with rib, which prevented 1t
from sinking deeper. It appears that
both were in fault The facts of the case
were developed before Justices Figget
and Chalky, Friday. The cadet and the
boy were each bailed in the sum of $500
to appear before the grand jury, which
meets during the session of February
County Court. Mr.. KERN, after an ab-
sence of three years, had just return ed
to the Virginia Military Institute, 9
week before this occurrance to complete
his education.

among Republicans is very much of the

are down on the whole thing. 1t is worthy
of Tilden victory, and appears to be very
well suited to bring it about. Our notion
is that Gov. Hayes would rather let the
presidency slide than to secure it on any
uch.copper-fipping operation.

THE DECEASED
was born in Richmond. n. Y, in lS26,and
was therefore, 81 years of age. he was
from an old and highly respected family,
received liberal education at one OF the
eastern colleges, and his professional edu-
cation and graduation from the Rensselaer,
Polytechnic Institute In this latter in
stitute he gave full promise of the abilities
which he was destined to display in after
years. Immediately after graduation he
was employed for several years in practical
engineering in various parts of New En-
gland, and next took charge of some i'm
portant work on the Boston and Albany
railroad. He came to this section of Ohio
in 1S49 to take charge of locating the C.
C. c. & 1. railroad. He was All engiLerr
also in its construction. Next he was for
a time superintendent of the Painesville
& Ashtabula road, and when the L. S. &
NJ. S. consolidation was brought about, he
was given his present position.
AS AN ENGINEER,
Mr.. Collins-enjoyed the confidence of many
of the leading railroad men of the country.
Among them was Commodore Vanderbilt,
whose friendship he also enjoyed.
We are told that when any work was to
be performed upon the great lines of which
he had control, Mr.. Collins plans and
methods were always accepted by the great
commander without question as the cheap

HIS CHARACTER.
He had the love and regard of the Com
pany-oficers and employes-and their af-
fection for him was shown with tears as
they learned his tragic end. When the
site of ColllnwOod was purchased, few
years since, for the construction of the
shops of the road, he. contributed liberally
towards the construction Of a missionary
chapel there, and has since shown great
interest in its support.

A Personal Gard.


To the Editor of the Leader:
Allow me to call your attention to the
slanderous attack upon myself in the Her
aid of the Goth inst. My remarks on that
occasion were reported by the LEADER in
their true intent, as they were understood
by all. The occasion was one which called
forth our sympathies and sorrows, and
none of US, except the reporter Of the Her
aid, was thinking Of card-playing, either
in its right or its wrong, but of death and
the sense of its nearness to US all.
Had either the reporter or the editor
been impressed as many of US have been,
no such personal attack could have issued
from their pen.
Let the death of one whom we all esteem
and love also teach how deeply wantOn at
tacks and heartless recriminatiOns affect
the heart of those who have grave response
bllities.
Thanking you for your uniform courtesy
and readiness to receive and publish my
communications, | remain yours, sincerely,
