A Lamentable Affair.

Mr.. e. c. Curtis, clerk in Wingo, Ell
lott 6 Crump's boot and shoe store, in Rich
mond, was shot five times on, the morning
Of the Sd, by Geo. E. Poindexter, from the
effects of which he died during the day
Mr.. Poindexter, the day before, had gone
to the place of business of young Curtis, and
accusing him of having insulted lady
friend a day or two efore, assaulted him
with horse whip. Curtis disclaimed any
knowledge of having done or said anything
improper, and offered to make ample repair
alton if any such construction had been
placed upon anything he had said. The next
day, Curtis in company with Mr.. G. F. Nc
CURE, a friend, to the factory of J. X,
Childrey & Co., where Poindexter is en-
ployed, and demanded an apology from
Poindexter. The latter replied that he had
none to give, and Curtis, advancing with
stick, was warned off by Poindexter, stating
that he was armed, and would kill him if he
Curtis struck him. Curtis continued to ad-
vance and strike with his stick, until the third
shot entered his head, and he fell unconscious
at the feet Of his slayer.
Both young gentlemen are spoken of in
the highest terms, and from the character
given Curtis it is altogether improbable tina
he was guilty of any improper conduct to
the young lady. Indeed, her own statement
OF the case, would acquit him, when it is
pr operly sifted and weighed.

THE REYNOLDS CAsEs.-In the United
States District Court for the Western Dis
trict OF Virginia, which sat at Danville, Va,
Tuesday, Judge Alexander Riyes presiding,
the first case called was Lee and Burwell
Reynolds, two colored men from Patrick
county, charged with murder, who were last
fall taken from the State authority by Judge
Riyes' order. James T. Field, Attorney
General Of Virginia, on behalf of the Com
monwealth, made an application for con-
tinuance Of the case to give the Common
wealth time to make and obtain a decision
on an application to the United States Su-
preme Court for writ of mandamus re-
curing Judge Rives to surrender the pris-
oners to the State authority, on the ground
of lack of jurisdiction in the United States
District Court. After lengthy argument
continuance was granted. and the case was
set for trial April 22d, at a special term OF
the court.

The victory was received by the Readius-
tiers in perfect silence, and with no marks of
applause or signs Of exultation.
This ended one of the most exciting, hard
fought parliamentary contests that has ever
taken place in the Legislature OF Virginia.
In 1t was brought to bear every subtlety OF
parliamentary law, every manGuyre, every
shift and bubble that could he thought of,
and the Speaker had difficult work to solve
the various complex questions brought to
his notice.

Important Amendment.

Judge Allen, in the House, on the 2Sth
offered the following important amendment
to the bondhelders proposition for the settle
ment Of the State debt. 1t is acceptable to
all parties, and contains, we think, essential
provisions, for the successful operation of the
measure, should it become law. 1t will
meet the objections of the bill, based upon
the fear that the present rate OF taxation will
not produce revenue sufficient for all the
purposes of government, and the interest on
the public debt at per cent, and to that
degree remove any apprehensions which
may be entertained OF default in the in
terest payment, and in the support of the
Schools:
II. Whenever there shall not be a suf1i-
Gent amount OF money in the Treasury of
the State to meet the accruing interest on
the said bonds promptly, the Auditor is
hereby authorized and directed, by and with
the advice of the Governor of the State, to
raise by temporary loan, to be returned out
of the accrning revenues OF the State, a sum
sufficient to enable him to meet promptly
the said interest as it accrues. And in case
the Auditor shall not be able to raise suffi-
cienL SUN lOf the Salu purpose ny IOais, he
is hereby authorized and directed to issue
non-interesJ- bearing certificates Of indebt-
edness of this State, to be signed by himself
and countersigned by the Treasurer, and
properly registered in the offices of the Aud
itor and Treasurer, for the sum OF one dollar
and multiples thereof; the same to be print
ed from plates which shall be the property
of the State, and to sell the same at not less
than minimum price to be fixed by the
Commissioner of the Sinking Fund. The
said certificates shall be receivable for taxes,
debts, dues, and demands due the State, land
this shall be expressed on their face.
l3. The amount OF such certificates which
may be issued at any one time shall be fixed
by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund,
and the proceeds OF the sale thereof shall be
devoted exclusively to the payment Of inter-
est as aforesaid. The Auditor shall report
regularly to the General Assembly the
amount and character of certificates issued
under this act, and the net proceeds thereof.
IA. The said certificates shall be received
by the Treasurer of the State and be cancell-
ed on receipt thereof, under the regulations
and prohibitions now existing in relation to
coupons for interest ON the public debt, ex
cept that no tax shall be deducted therefrom,
and the fact of their cancellation shall be
noted on the said registers.

VALLEY r. r. Billion Thursday last :,
in the Senate, Mr.. Sherrard, presented the
following substitute for the previous bill, in
reference to the Valley r. R. which after
haying the preamble of the previous bill in
serted, was read third time and passed I'M
der suspension of the rules:
Be 1t enacted bv the General Assembly of
Virginia, l. That unless the Valley r. r.
Company shall complete its railroad from
Stanton to Lexington before the LIST day
OF April, 1881, to Buchanan by April l, 1882,
and to Salem by April l, 1888, its charter
shall be forfeited, and the Attor ney-General
shall proceed at once by proper judicial pro-
ceedings to procure an adjudication of for
fixture.
2. That upon such forfeiture the whole
property of said Valley Rail road Company
shall be sold as an entirety, and the proceeds
of sale duly distributed according to law.
3. That the purchaser of said property
shall be entitled to form a corporation under
the laws of this State as if said railroad had
been sold, together with all its rights and
all the rights, franchises, and privileges con-
ferred on the Valley Railroad Company by
its charter and by all the amendments there
to, and shall take such. franchises, rights,
and privileges subject to the obligation to
construct said railroad complete to Licking
ton within one year, to Buchanan within
two years, and to Salem within three years
from the date of such sale and purchase.
4. That in case such purchaser shall not
complete such work within the times above
stipulated and required, then the whole
franchises. rights, property in the same shall
be forfeited to such counties and cities of
this Commonwealth on the line of said road
who have subscribed for the capital stock Of
the original company, or of the company
succeeding thereto, in proportion to the
amount respectively paid by them.
5. And upon such forfeiture the said coun-
ties and cities shall have all the rights, fran
chises, and privileges Of the original cor
poration and OF the successor thereto, and
shall constitute corporation upon the same
terms and entitled to the same rights and
franchises as the original corporation and its
successor.
6. This act shall take effect from its pas

Extra Session.

The dilatory motions and parliamentary
tactics OF the extreme Re-adjusters in the
House of Delegates, prolonged the session
OF that body through Saturday night and
until II O'Clock NJ, Sunday, when an ad-
iournment was voted without coming to a
vote on the adoption or rejection of the Nc
Cullough plan for a settlement of the State
debt. In this way the regular session ex-
pfred without final action, and simultane-
ously with the expiration of the term, the
Governor caused to be read his proclamation
converting an extra session. The Senate had
voted to extend the session five days, which,
il 1t had been concurred in by the House.
would have imposed no further expenses for
legislative services. The extra session,
however, entities each member to $3.50,
in addition to $500 already drawn, wheth-
er the time be short or long. This is
cruel wrong to the people, especially
when it is known that by fair square vote
the debt issue could have been disposed OF,
and an extra session avoided. The minori-
ty will be held responsible for this injustice,
ton at issue upon its merits, and not neces-
state an extra session by the extraordinary
and disgraceful filibustering resorted to-
The protest presented in the Senate by Mr..
Fulkerson, one Of the leaders Of the minor
ity. against an extra session, is a weak at
tempt to shift the responsibility, and escape
the odium which must follow the reck-
less disregard OF the Peep les wish and in
terests in the course pursued. The wrong
perpetrated, by the obstructive tactics avail
ed Of. amounts to a political crime, in that
1t frustrated the will OF the majority in the
Legislature and Of the people OF the State,
for there is no doubt that public sentiment
strongly favors the acceptance of the propo-
sition submitted by the creditors. In char
ity We will attribute this reckless defiance Of
popular desire and disregard of the true in
terests of the State, to perverted views of
duty, rather than to bad ambition. Wheth-
er the people will be so lenient is q matter
for the future to determine. The fact that
there was plenty Of time to settle tho debt
question during the regular session, and
that exhaustive discussion of all its details
had been allowed, will incline the unchar-
liable to conclude that the extra pay con-
nected with the extra session had something
to do with the matter. Certainly the inter
ests OF the people have been trifled with
the State wronged, and fearful respon-
sibility assumed by those who have brought
about this state of affairs.
The Legislature is now proceeding in ex-
ira session, and will doubtless come to a
journs.
