The Pitts-ThOm Fight in Virginia

The recent " duel" at Eastville, Va,
in which Maj. Sidney Pitts was killed
and A. T. Thorn was fatally wounded,
was gotten up on short order. 1t has
made great sensation, as both parties
stood high, their families being among
the oldest and wealthiest in Maryland
and Virginia. Pitts was about 21 years
old, son of the late Judge Pitts OF
Norfolk, and nephew of United States
Senator Dennis of Maryland. He was
graduate of St. Johns College, Nor
folk, and was captain of the Athletic
Baseball club of Virginia. He had no
regular profession. Thorn is a young
lawyer of Eastville and is well known
as the nephew of leading Baltimore
physician of the same name. Pitts be-
ing indebted to the estate of Elijah Brit
tingham, the late Postmaster of East
vile, of which Thorn was curator, was
about to sail from Baltimore for St.
Louis when Thorn tried to have him ar
rested, but Pitts refused to sur
render, as the process was served
by jailer, not the proper officer. On
the day of the fight Thorn was
walking along street of Eastville when
Pitts hailed him and demanded an apol-
ogy for some remarks alleged to have
been made by Thorn rejecting on his
(Pitts's) character, Pitts adding that he
was a ssliar." 81 have no apology to
make, SIR" was Thom's answer, as he
drew a revolver and fired, the ball TAX
ing effect in Pitts's left hand. Pitts
whisked his own pistol from his pocket,
and the men snapped their weapons
simultaneously. They missed fire, the
chambers in both, by strange coinci-
dence, refusing to revolve. Having
struck the barrels upon their knees to
loosen the chambers, the combatants,
who were now only six feet apart, again
elevated the pistols and blazed away to-
gether, this time with fatal result. Pitts
was struck in the left breast, near the
heart, and fell forward on his face, ex-
piring almost Immediately. Thorn was
struck in the face, the ball entering neal
the nose and penetrating to the back OF
the head. He fell back insensible, and
there is no hope of recovery.

How Merit Wins in France.

The large number Of eminent men
that France has lost by death during
the past three years brings constantly
to mind fact not little surprising to
an American. II is the astonishing
number of persons Of humble origin
who rise to renown in all the depart
ments of human effort. We have al
ways INDUCED in the proud belief that
our Republican institutions were the
favored protectors of humble merit,
that under the wide wings Of religious
and civil liberty brain would rank all
other qualities and that kingdoms and
empires were not so blessed. In France
it seems there is an exception to this
rule, and that in spite of turbulences Of
every kind she has been generous en-
courager of merit, however humble its
origin. In all the departments of learn
ing the French seem to have natural
sense Of the practical necessity of a well
rounded development II student
gives evidence Of superior talent in any
thing that Is calculated to do credit to
the State he is wanted at once. No
matter who he is or whether he has
shoes to his feet, his brain is wanted.
In literature, the arts, sciences, and
nowadays in politics, the vast majority
Of eminent men sprang from humble
parentage and from some oui-of-the-
way corner Of the provinces. For eve
" reason Paris is the eternal earthly
paradise for every ambitious boy or
girl in France. II Is the brain and
blood of the provinces that nourish the
center Of the worid.-Paris Cor. Troy

Cut Out by His Own Son.

A rather novel wedding was solemn

day evening. Charles Harak, a wealthy
farmer, living near Ging's Station, in
this county, and whose locks have with
stood the assaults of seventy winters,
wooed and Gas he supposedly won the
heart and hand of Miss Mary j. Morris,
a neighboring lady whose golden tresses
have been famed by the gentle breezes
of IS summers. He proposed, was ac-
cepted, and yesterday morning the
wings of love waited him into the Clerks
Office, where he obtained the necessary
license. lie started home with light
heart and smiling countenance. But
alasl During his absence one of his
sons visited the tickle maiden and so
vigorously beseiged the citidal of her
affections that she surrendered, jumped
into a vehicle with him, drove TO town
by a circuitous route, and their hearts
were beating in unison as husband and
wife before the old man reached home.
A large crowd witnessed the ceremony.
It is said that the old gentleman, when
he discovered the true state Of affairs.

meet the expectations Of the people. 1t
grapples with irresolution the leading topics
now engrossing the attention of the nation,
and ventures no suggestions indicative either
of confidence of the Executive in his own
Judgment or of emphasis during the re-
mainder of his administration. He began
his term of Office by assuming that he had
found a way to national pacifcation, and
weary of the unsatisfactory experiences of
the past, the people submitted to his guidance
and awaited the result. In referring to the
elections in some of the Southern States, he
virtually admits that his policy has been
failure; he admits that the elections of the
9Th of last month were cruel and lawless
farce in Louisiana and South Carolina; he
admits that every cause of complaint having
been removed, the laws for the enforcement
of the reconstruction amendments to the
Federal Constitution have been trampled on
in many of the Southern States, and that re-
publican governments exist there only in
name; he admits that American citizens have
been and still are deprived of the privileges
of free speech and free political action in
many portions of the South and that the
rebellion there against the laws and auth rity
of the Government is fragrant, undis ruised
and insolent. All this Mr. Hayes in sub
stance admits; yet he dismisses the bject
with the expression of opinion that, while
the country has not yet reached complete
unity of feeling and reciprocal confidence
between the communities so lately and so
seriously estranged,' he feels can absolute
surance that the tendenc' c. are in that direc-
ton and with incrcs ng force" Upon what
does His Excellency bs e this assurance? Is
it upon the events of the past eighteen months!
or upon the 'omises of Wade Hamp, on,
which he made last year only to violate, and
which he is possibly now renewing! The out
RACES to which Mr. Hayes is compelled to di-
rect attention will be obIiterated from the
public mind by soothing referen y to g bet
ter tendencies of the guilty. T ere is nothing
either Ill the past or present to warrant he
assurance that the tendenc es of tie CONTROL
ing classes of tie South are toward any re-
suit less lawless or less radio. than the prac-
teal disfranchisement of tie blacks TIL
they do not deny. Is rot the du, y of the Ex-
ecutive plain in such an emergency! He
should not hesitate moment to demand of
Congress the faciliti~ Necessary to enable him
to execute the laws and project every citizen
in his righl to the b OF. He should make
this demand of the House, whether it be F
publican or Democratic, and leave the mem-
bers to answer to the people for their response.
If the duty Of the President is not plain to
MIN to-day, the election of 1880 will instruct
him.
