Let ms Settle.

The Talley does not seem capable OF
understanding why the three gentlemen
who represent equal interests in the
HERALD should disagree on the merits
Of the brokers' bill. l will tell you,
nelghbor, that / abhor and detest that
measure and will not for the sake of a
fixed policy sacrifice my convictions.--
Hence am hOeing my own row IN the
colsmns of the HERALD. have been
too long accustomed to taking care Of
myself to hesitate about doing so now.

bill IN 1871 when only 80 men out o.
six hundred and odd who voted at the
Court House sustained me. Yet the

opinions on that question. l remem'
Der to have attended certain Staunton

delegates from the towns OF this county
arrayed against me, and this winter
observe the representatives of the peo-
pie Of the upper counties clamoring for
a repeal of The charter, and the counties
themselves struggling for relief from the
burdens it imposed. I might mention
two other lone hands, but hope these
may remind the Valley that swapping
convictions is not the characteristic OF
the " demagogue."
Now to the brokers' bill.
The VALLEY has not yet mentioned
that meas ure except to prOclaim it a
settlement. Any new funding Of the
debt would be settlement. The ques-
ton is, should we make such settle
ment? or, If one be made for US, should
we accept it? Not one reason we pre-
sented against it has the Taley noticed
or answered. Perhaps the subject
would overtax the columns of the paper.
If that be the trouble my proposition to
the Valley is to meet its Editor, or any
champion he may select, in Polytechnic
Hall. on any Saturday evening after the
first of May, for full, free and frank
discussion of the merits Gifts pet meas

Am italian Bigamist In Newport.

NEWPORT, r. l., October 21.-This morn
ing an Italian resident Of this city, named
A. Avallone, who heretofore has borne an
excellent character, was confronted by ms
wife, who had just arrived from Italy. The
husband did not expect to see her, as ne
had married q Newport woman, by whom
he has had five children, three OF whom are
living. He told her that he did not desire
to return TO her. The wronged woman
thereupon made rush for the street win
the determination Of asserting her rights at
the home OF her husband. The latter, new
ever, was too quick for her, ana Dy the
questionable aid OF some Of his friends she
was induced to leave the city before she
could see wife No. 2. She will return
probably tonight and have her nus
band arrested for bigamy. One OF the chli.
dren OF the first wife, Il boy twenty years OF
age. has been working fox his father, and
believed that his mother was dead. AS
soon as he learned the truth he left bis
father. aud is determined to avenge his mo-
theirs wrongs. AyalIone returned from a
visit to Italy only three months ago, and
while there lived with his first wife. Wife
MOO is in an unpleasant predicament. She
is an American, and sympathizes with her
unfortunate predecessor, who cannot speak
a word OF English. 1t is rumored at this
hour that Ayallone has left the city, and
that the woman was drugged before she
was taken on board OF the steamer bound
to Providence.
