man c, M. Kinskey whom ''the Organ
endorses as a gentleman and scholar of
high degree and superior attachments. As
the people of this city happen to have a
personal acquaintance with Mr.. Kinskey
ard are somewhatfa familiar with his sayings
and doings while living in their midst, the
highly figurative language of''the Organ,
in speaking of his fitness and rare qualities
OF person and INTELLECT, may be taken with
some grains of allowance. The peculiarly
happy method of the veteran editor in
expressing his ideas with the rich, rare,
and graceful diction of an accomplished
llnEuist, sometimes betrays him into the
use of language which. through natural
and becoming to his flowing
pen, Is not really intended
to be any more eulogistic than the more
mon-place expressions and plain
er words of his less gifted cotemporaries.
Without presuming to institute any COM
parison whatever between the personal
merits Of the democratic candidate and
the brilliant nominee of the workingmen,
1t Is perfectly legitimate and proper to say
that the democracy have no occasion to
fear any juxta- position of qualifications or
any comparison of real merits.
Of course our pride of locality is greatly
battered by having candidate of any
party; particularly one who has been intro
duced to the public, for the first time, IN
such feIicitous style and by such an accom-
plished and gallant political usher as the
Sir Charles Grandson of "the organ"
but as there is little more In store for Mr..
kinskey than the honor of getting his
name before the public, our pride in his
being a citizen of this city is not likely to
be gratifed by any profitable results to
the city's reuown.
The democratic candidate, maugre the
extraordinary combination of personal
greatness which is allied iu opposition, will
receive the full support of the democracy
OF this county; and not only because he is
the nominee of the party, but for the rea.
son that he is in every way proper per-
son and well qualified to perform the du.
ties Of the Office.

Yesterday evening in passing Tallmadge
hall, which adjoins the old theatre
where Lincoln was murdered, observed
that it was Illuminated, and asking the
long haired man at the door what he was
to have, he replied: "A lecture by the
great high priest of spiritualism, Mr..
Davis. L remembered that when quite
boy had read book on spiritualism, bv
Davis, full of transcendental jargon, the
tiy leaf of which was adorned with por-

ten cents and strolled in to hear him. One
sees some queer looking people in large
hall full of spirltualists. 1t is said that
every man has his insanity, but a spectacle
of room full of middle aged men and
women, elated with homogeneous insanity
is spectacle. From Mr. Davis lecture I
would infer that his insanity is of the
mIlder, more refined. and ETHEREAL type.
His rhapsody was as convincing as chaste
rhetoric, poetical hypothesis. and unim-
FASHIONED diction could make it. The
philosophy or rather "misophy" which he |
taught was to dlstrust the senses. with |
their lore OF science, and listen only to In. |

and the hereditary experience of infinite |

nounced spectacular spiritualism and So |

The best part of his lecture was that in
which he ridiculed wealthy Ohioan, whose
business detained him in New York, while
his wife took care of his family in the buck

painting of his spirit bride. the women he
vas to wed in the spirit world. He said

KILLING i'm Franklin.

On Monday night last, number of gen
tlemen arrested Jack Pituford, a negro Of
desperate character, in Franklin county,
for an attempt to commit nameless out
rage upon young married lady OF high
responsibility. He was conveyed to the
county site by Messrs X. NJ. Newman. S: X.
Magee, E. H. Montgomery. g. Flowers,
james Afford, w. d. Moore and James
Bicker. On their arrival they conducted
him to the Chancery Clerks Office, intend
ing to guard him all night and have him
tried before, the proper authorities the
next day. Some Of the gentlemen started
for a store to obtain something to eat,
when the negro selzed Mr. Newman's gun,
which had been placed near him, and lev
cling it on those present, remarked that he
was charged with crime and he wished to
know what 1t was; at the same time firing
at, and almost in, the face of Mr.. New
man. who lodged as the gnn fired, the
load passing over his head. Mr.. New
nan drew his pistol and fired Immediately,
wounding the desperate, who fired the
second barrel of the gun, wounding Mr..
Moore-though not sefiously -after which,
he attempted to make his escape but was fir
ed at by S. K. Magee and G. Flowers, ten
balls striking him, from the effects of which
he died In few minutes. The above
particulars We have from an eye witness.

Tuesday night, Dec 3rd. The entire
business portion of the town was cons

was in fumes.
The losses are apttoximated to be
between S225,000 and 100000, with
about $106, 900, insurance. Holberes
were insured for 10000; Griggs, about
$4,000. r. W. Phillips was also in
sured, amount not known. The Sun
once saved most OF its type. 1-ne
Beacon Office saved but little, but was
insured for small amount. Both
offices lost their presses. No private
residences were burned. The post office
material was all saved, except the
mails.
Judge Foote in said to have been the
greatest loser on burnt houses. His
estimated loss was $4,000 without a
dollar OF insurance.
A. X. Davis, had his elegant liquor
saloon burnt. He didn't loose great
deal.
About dozen lawyers were burnt
out of their offices, but mostly saved
their books and papers. Mr.. Di SIN kes
is an exception. He lost everything in
the shape Of Books and papers-deeds,
notes, accotnts, briefs-everything.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but there is a report that it started
from room in the hotel that was oc-
cupied by a drummer. who on leaving
it left the fire in the stove in his room
in careless and dangerous condition.

Mrs, Rrmcp.

The question which is now agitating
Washington society, is, as to how Mrs.
Bruce, the wife of our copper>headed
Senator shall be treated, when she
takes up her residence in that city.
Bruce has rented an elegant house IN
Washington, for the remainder of his
term. which does not expire until March
1881, and he and his wife will soon oc>
cupy the same. 1t is customary for
the wive, of Cabinet officers and Sena-
tors, to call upon the bride of another
Senator. 1t is said that the wives of
Cabinet officers will not hesitate to visit
Mrs. Bruce, and make her feel at home,
and that Mrs. Hayes will even go SO far
as to invite her to be present at the
first Presidential reception. We hcpe
and believe, our Southern ladies will
have too much pride to :ountenance
Mrs. Bruce as an equal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1873. q.
Editor Brookhaven Ledqer:-
The House on the 4th. the second day
OF the session, passed two appropriation
bills, the Fertilization bill amounting
to S275, 900 the same as last year, and
the West Point bill, amounting to
about 100000 There was no oppose
ton and but little discussion. The APP
preparation Committee will have its bills
ready as fast as the House can take
care of them. On the larger ones there
will Of course be debate, but every~
thing 50 far indicates working rather
than talking session. Even Senator
Blaine's buncombe resolution as to the
intimidation of voters, which comes up
to-day, will probably pass with little or
no discussion. The Democrats will att
tempt to secure amendments, but seem
disposed not to insist on them. Sena-
tor Thurman and perhaps one Southern
Senator will make short speeches.
Many bills on financial subjects have
been presented, but it becomes clearer
every day that none of them will even
receive consideration until after the
fixed day for resu,nption--January 1st

doctors or mechanics do their respective
callings, and here We must say, that
some of them become perfect in the

the South the most favorable, and they
will continue to tramp over it, begging

whenever it is done, the person be-
