The MoPFETT register. is fairly under
consideration in. Che New. York Legisla-
ture, having been referred to the Commit
tee on Cities, with. an instruction "to re.
port upon the .advisability Of the plan. - a
contemporary discussion takes place in the
New York press. The 9 SiInon-pure " tenn:
perance advocates are opposed to the
scheme on the ground that it !" puts pre-
MUM ion 5liquor-selling." The opponents
here are not objecting to it on that ground.
They oppose 1t because they are afraid 1t
will raise too much revenue! s15 s.,rs.s...s
An argument presented hy this paper last
winter Id Reproduced imam article in the
New York Times. That paper says that
the proprietors of many liquor-saloons are
delighted with the register because they
consider it protection against the infideeli-
ty of bar-tenders--i. e., provided there
should accidentally be such a bartender
about. IL this be SO, we suppose the oppo-
ition from the liquorsellcrs Will not be
very determined.
The register. is under consideration in
many other localities. Even in England
there has been much said about it, and the
prospect is that it will there be seriously
considered with reference to the ACCESSIBILITY
OF adopting it as taS-machine- ss
DR.. MoFFETT will discover that, for the
sake or the reputation OF the register, it
would be infinitely better that the bill of the
last Legislature enforcing the collection OF
the revenue through the: register should
have become a law. The results that would
have been thus secured from the register
would have given it triumph through civ
ilized countries. 49,. ~,

the Northampton Tragedy.


Alfred r. Thorn was about twenty.three
years old, the son Of Dir. William Alexander
Thorn, brother Of DR.: J. Pembroke Thorn,
of this city, and well. known practitioner
of the Eastern Shore. His family, like
Pitts's, is among the best in the State, hav-
ing connections with the Parkers OF North
ampton and the TazeWells Of Norfolk,
among whom Governor Littleton Tazewell,
OF Virginia, is too well known to need men-
ton. Thorn was a talented your lawyer,
graduated few years ago with distinction
in several schools OF the University of Vir-
ginia, and had for the last Two years pur-
sued his profession with marked promise Of
success In his native town. At the Univcr-
sity he conceived an attachment FOR a beau
tiful lady who had for several years been
regarded the belle Of that section. A
few weeks ago this lady was stricken
down by disease that for while
threatened. to cost her life, and young
Thorn left Eastville to be. in instant
attendance upon her during her sickness
in Richmond, whittier she had been con-
veyed to receive the best medical aid the
State could furnish. She was IN the course
of a few DAYS; pronounced out Of danger.
At this time it is believed Thorn is her at
fjanced lover. In 1875 Thorn came to this
city for, the purpose Of embarking in mer-
camille life, but falling OF his ectations.
returned 10 The Univ rsity, where he studied
the law. During this year he was a.proml-
nent member OF the jefferson Literary So
city, and was honored with the position OF
their orator at the final commence He
ALWAYS sought the best assoc Citations, and was
regarded as q high-toned young fellow. He
was temperate in his habits, never drinking
nor yielding to any OF the temptations
which surrounded him, on all sides. His
reputation at college was that OF man who,
notwithstanding his cleYerness, was the
most simple-minded and confiding student
Mt the University.
PREVIOUS THREATS 5Sf
Sidney Pitts. his antagonist, was in this
city twice in few days before the occur
renee above related. On the 18th instant
Sunday be visited CDR Slater'sn and
other g saloons.,' AT eae Of these he told
the proprietor OF the trouble he expected
in Eastyille on his return to that place. To
the inquiry from the proprietor, Swell,
when shall hear from you again ?" he re-
piled: oh, you'll hear from me through
the papers," His manner was not thought
threatening, and nothing was said of the
affair .ntil the sequel had followed. A gen.
tleman n this city states that the quarrel
had beer brewing for loTg time. Some
time ago Thorn, in a conversation with DR..
Robert TAYLOR, OF Easty lie, was asked II
he would accept challenge from Pitts
should such q conting ency arise. His reply
was that he would not; SO II seems he bad
armed himself only with view to seli-de-I
fence. t;ss sisS3. b
The sad event has cast a gloom oyer the
whole community in which it occurred, and
is regretted by d large circle who esteemed
both OF the parties TO the affair.
