That will settle the matter. 1t is not a
question that want to decide. 1t is not an

SOS fail to agree shall appear ut their place

no hesitation whatever in doing nv whole.
duty. shall shirk no responsibility"
Mr.. Ferry need not worry, unless he in
tends, in accordance with the cut and Il led
plan of the conspiratorS, to override the
aot1se and count in Hayes whether or no.
Ihon he will have good reason to tremble
1or Inc consequences of his uSurpation of
authority. The House will never consent
10 let him name the President and assume
the Judicial function OF deciding as to the
validity of the electoral votes of the biscuit
cd States. Neither they nor their commit
lees Will listen to any compromise that de-
mics or infringes on their right Of objection
to the counting of those votes, nor will
they accept the rcsul. if it is attained against
their rightful protests. They will not sit as
mere dummies while he figures UP 1856 votes
for Hayes, but will demand Il voice in the
proceeding. If Eice-President Ferry per-
slsts in so acting. spite of their warnings
and objections, then Hayes can only be
seated by force, following up fraud and out
rage, and the country will hold him to be IA
usurper.

In memory of Charlie w. Stampcr, died
January 4, 1877; only son Of Mrs. NJ.
T.. Stamper.
Surely,
death rides on every passing breeze
And turks in every flower;
Each season has it's own disease,
Its perils every hour"
Charlie was bright young man of 81
years and only surviving son of his devot ed
mother, possessing Il kind and gentle dis
position. The sound of his footsteps and
sweet, gentle voice made music for home
and filled the heart of his mother with glad
ness. But grieve not, dear parent, for
Charlie will walk the beautiful city of God ;
and though his gentle voice be hushed to
you, will join in anthems of praise around
the eternal throne.
''To those who for his loss are grieved
This consolation's given
He's from Il world of woe relieved
And blooms :: rose in Heaven.'

Shooting ARRAY.
columbia Herald, SOth. I

a terrible shooting atfray took place here
on Tuesday last which resulted in the death
Of one man, c. c. Fife, killed on the spot,
and the wounding of three others-W. L..
Wooton, w. b. Fife. and Calvin Wynnt. 1t
Is feared that the wound Of Mr.. wooton
may prove fatal. Mr.. Wyant is severely
hurt, being shot in five places, but neither
OF the wounds are considered dangerous.
Mr.. w. X. Fife received shot i'll the
tieshy part of the left arm near the shonl-
der.
From the evidence adduced before Judge
Smith. on Wed nesGiay. it appears that the
difficulty arose in w. Il. Fife cursing Woo
ton. for what cause we have failed to learn.
Mr.. c. G. Fife, the man killed, is II son of
w. b. Fife, and Wyant u son-in-law.
Neither the elder Fife nor Wyant had piss
tolls. The latter was armed with u bowie
knife and club, while the former had only Il
pocket knife; but c. c. Fife had a Colts
percussion revolver, and it was no who
shot Mr.. wooton.
1t was stated in evidence that c. c. Fife
fired the first shot at Wooton, who then re-
turned the fire, and all three men were
closing in upon him, John Davis, Henry
Blanks and Buck Groonls came to his as
sistance and commenced firing upon the
Fife party.
Altogether some fifteen or eighteen shots
were fired with the above mentioned de-
plOrable result. The shooting was ali done
in the space Ola minute or two, and sound
cd like the explosion Of y bunch of fire.

ensued almost instantly. He was /.
bright little boy, and his sad death has
been generally l;,mented.
On Saturday O! last week a number
of young men of Trenton went up in
skihs to the D'Arbonne hunting ducks.
Upon their return, young Mr.Stamper,
an excellent and promising youth, was
killed instantly by the accidental dis
charge of his gun. He was standing in
the stern Of the boat and had just shot
ut some ducks. His two companions,
Mcssrs. Rabun and Parker, had shot
about the same instant, and had their
backs turned toward him. A second
shot by young Stanper caused one OF
the young men to turn, when he saw
Mr.. Stamper falling. He was caught
in time to keep him from falling into
the river. The load had entered Just
above his left eye, and had torn of
nearly that entire side of his head. The
remains were conveyed home and in
tered next day with solemnity and
great regret.
