account OF that scandal" We consider
that at best social scandals have no
business in newspapers. They are
not legitimate news, nor do they sup
ply the kind of Literature that mothers
and fathers like their sons and daugh-
tiers to read. In the next place we OBJ
ject to lending our columns as me-
dunn through which to spread q story
that has already given q sorrow strick-l
en- family pain enough. Those who
suffer griefs Of this kind are loath to
have them advertised merely for the
curiosity Of quid nances. Our esteem
for the mother and family of the I'M
fortunate lady who was duped into
the reported mock marriage forbids
that we should give space to crafty
the public curiosity as to the details
Of the story.--Advocate.
Fe-e-ugh! How considerate and
straight-laced our esteemed neighbor
has grown to be, of late How much
ly mistaken were those who believed
that it was owing to the fact that the
Advocates mammoth Friday edition
hadn't the space to spare and that the
interesting dissertation on silk cul-
ture, in Saturdays, had alone depriv-
cd the public of ''the States account
of that scandal" 81
We breathe easier, upon learning
that in this matter, the Advocate was
controlled solely by its keen sense Of
chaste propriety and milk white NOR
atty. Surely, the old matrons and
the blushing maidens Of the lcommu-
nifty will applaud our virtuous con-
frere and encircle his innocent brow
with the wreath that appertains to
guileless "juvenility.''
In view of the above rebuke, EVIL
IDENTITY fired at the CAPIroLIAN, we
feel in duty bonnd to rise and explain
why it was that we reproduced the
Estates account of that scandal"
Our attention having been drawn to
a public announcement, IN the New
Orleans papers, calculated, ii not ex-
planned, to place in false light the
name Of lady whose connections oc-
cupy n high social position in this city,
we felt that to reproduce the state
mcnts voluntarily given the States by
the lady's own relatives, would be to
assist them in silencing the nisrepre-
sensations that in such cases never
fail to gain circulation through the
mediums of busy tongu es.
The lady in question is a native of
this city, where herself and relatives
are known to every one, in eonse-
quence of which, we believed it to be
the duty Of the CAPIToL1AN to pub
lish an account that must, In great
measure, shield her from malicious
criticisms. 4r
As the Advocate lacked the good
sense that teaches Il journal to per-
form its duty, it should, at least, have
kept its ears concealed by withhold
ing the pitifnl excuse, which, by shut
ting out the facts, does grievous in
jury to an assaulted reputation.
The plea of considerable morality
advanced by the Advocate, will hard
Iy pass current when contrasted with
a certain Avoyelles scandal, which a
friend informs us, appeared in its
columns some time ago; in verifica
ton of which we invite the editor to
refresh his memory by consulting his
files.

murdered Saturday. Her husband lefr home at

and going into bedroom, found his wife lying
in pool of blood on her back dead, and covered
with quilt. She had been shot three times In

fled his neighbors, the nearest being quarter

Gen. Boynt0n, correspondent OF the Cincin-
natl Gazette, will at once institute suit for
damages against Gen. Sherman for libel, and
the latter will have chance to prove the truth
OF some OF the hard things he has said about
Boynton Last week, in an interview that he
knew was to be published, Gen. Sherman stated
that Gen. Boynton was man entirely witho 10
character, and that for thousand dollars n
would SANDER his own mother; that he IS very
persistent and energetic in manufacturing false
hoods, and many other similar remarks refer
ring to Boyntons attack upon the accuracy of
Sherman's autobiography. Gen. BoynJon c. mes
out in card this morning announcing that he
will select a tribunal and a form OF acton
which will afford Gen. Sherman an opportunity
to prove the truth Of these statements or exhibit
him to the world as a reckless slanderer."
BOynton wrote note to Sherman incloSlug a
copy OF the interview, and asked Sherman If he
had been correctly reported. Sherman replied
in the affirmative, and repeated what he had
said. Boynton at once took steps to bring a
libel suit, and his petition will be filed in day
or two.
Under the law Of the District of Columbia no
true statement is libel, no matter how severe it
may be- but Gen. sherman will find 1t very diff
iicult to prove the truth of his statements about
Gen. Boynton, who is universally regarded as
reliable and conscientious correspondent

ANOTHER IMPORTANT RAILROAD COMBINATION

ANOTHER IMPORTANT RAILROAD COMBINATION.
NJ. jay could Extending his GI'dSp.-The New
York Journal Of Commerce learns from what it
deems a reliable source that terms for the con-
solidation OF the Kansas Pacific and Union
Pacific railroads have been agreed upon. 1t
has been agreed that the stock Of the roads
shall remain as at present, S13 900, 900 for the
Union Pacific and 81 900, 900 for the Kansas Pa
cfic. After the consolidation sufficient stock of
the Union Pacific is to be Issued to retire the
stock OF the Kansas Pacific at the market price
OF the Union Pacific. As it is reported that Mr..
jay Gould holds about five-Seyenths of the
stock OF the Kansas Pacific, this arrangement,
and the amount OF Union Pacific held by his
friends, will give him absolute control of the
road. The mortgage bonds will remain as at
present lien on the respective divisions for
the completion of which they were issued. One
result OF this consolidation will be to give to
the Union Pacific two outlets at its eastern end,
one as at present at Omaha, while the Kansas
Pacific connects at Cheyenne and uniteS 1t with
the Wabash system OF railroads at Kansas City.
Under the act Of Incorporation the Union Pa
cifc was compelled to distribute all freight
landed at Omaha equally among all roads GEN.
tering there. After the consolidation the man.
agement can evade this, in case favorable terms
cannot be arranged, by sending their freight to
Kansas City, via Cheyenne, and forward il by
the Wabash system.
