The Wheeling InteliigenCer can't get us
TO discuss bow much OF Virginia's debt
properly belongs to West Virginia. We
are willing to admit that West Virginia is
not legally nor morally bound to pay one
third Of the debt as it existed in 1871; but
We cannot concede the honesty Of those
West Virginians who declare that their
State owes only in proportion to the amount
OF money expended ia that State prior TO
1861. Such rule would relieve our own
Accomac and Northampton and various
other counties of ell responsibility for any
part of Vireinia's debt. We hold that
West Virginia ought TO pay in proportion
10 her taxable-yalues In 1861. But even that
rule would require her to pay good many
millions which she has no idea Of paying.
Our own belief Is that West Virginia intends
70 repudiate, or rather has already repu-
dated. all the debt she Justly owes. She
has allowed it TO become so large that 1t is
unmanageabe. And as she felt compelled
to repudiate more than half of it, she per-
hans concluded that she might as well be
hung for sheep as lamb; and so repu-
dated all OF it. We don't know a man in
West Virginia who is in favor Of paying
even five millions OF the fifteen assigned to
her In IS7l-now grown TO twenty-four
millions. So we end, as we began, that we
can't be induced TO discuss such an abstract
question. West Virginia has to all intents
and purposes repudiated all her debt, let it
be much or little. She wouldn't agree to-
morrow to pay five millions OF dollars II
she could thereby be relieved OF the obli-
CATION 10 pay the tweniy.four millions
which We have so literally assigned 10 her.

UNDER THE CAR WHEELS.
A Street Car Driver Jerked Over the
Dashboard BY a FracIIOus Horse.

Yesterday afternoon a eolored man named
Jim Shaw, driver On car No. 2, on the
Whitaker street line Of the Savannah, skida
way and Seaboard Railroad. met with a very
serious and possibly fatal accident. While
on the down trip, and passing Charlton
street, the single tree suddenly broke, and,
striking violently against the hind legs Of
the horse, frightened him, and he began to
plunge wildly. The driver held on to the
reins, and was jerked over the dashboard,
and fell directly in front OF the car, both
wheels passing over his legs. The horse was,
by prompt action Of the conductor, prevented
from running away; the unfortunate man
was found beneath the resr platform. He
was lifted on board the car, and, as soon as
the single tree could be adjusted, carried on
down IS far as DR.. PURSES Office. That
physician not being 10, the car continued to
The Broughton street switch, when Shaw
was transferred TO the up car and conveyed
TO the Office of DIR. Charlton, where he was
left. On the return Of the car, on which
the accident happened, from she Bay, the
conductor stopped 10 see how he was. He
was again taken on board and carried TO the
Office On Anderson street, and from thence
sent 70 bis home on Montgomery street in a
wagon His legs are badly crushed and
bruised, and It is thought some OF the
smaller bones near the ankles are broken.
dis condition last night was reported as
quite serious.

THE FATE OF A PEACEmaKER.
A COiored Barber Shot in the Leg.

Last night about half-past 10 O'Clock
difficulty occurred between a crowd of col
ored men and boys at the corner OF South
Broad street lane and Jefferson street, which
resulted in the shooting Of an innocent
party. We are told in the good book that
"Blessed are the pescemakers," but this &C.
currence proved that there are exceptions,
as ''the peaeemaker" was the only one hurt,
the parties engaged in the difficulty
escaping. Upon investigation into the
affair the following particulars
were ascertained: A number OF eolored
men and bows who had been drinking at the
bar of a grocery In the vicinity
Of the locality mentioned, and were
more or less under the influence OF liquor,
got into dispute on jefferson street, near
the lane, in which very harsh language was
used. While the dispute was Its height, and
three men were debating with much pro-
family whether to maui a youth in the party
by the name of Albert Miller, who had
taken exceptions to some remark that was
made, Thomas E. Mordecai, well known
and respectable colOred barber came up and
suggested that It was rather unfair Tor three
to bounce one, and he rather small, and en-
deavored to make peace among the parties.
Angry words followed this interference In
behalf Of order, and one of the parties drew
a knife, as the click of pistol was heard, aud
threatened IL any one drew weapon on
him he would carve him to pieces. Tom,
who was a peacemaker, finding his EFFORTS
were Of no avail. started to walk OF, when
! the pistol was fred, by whom
is not known, and the ball
struck Tom 10 the right leg, just below the
thigh bone, and passed through, lodging IN
the flesh In the inside Of the leg, where 1t
could be easily felt. Tom staggered, and
several Of the crowd, including OF course
the Individual who fired the shot, ned,
and Miller and another colored youth
assisted Tom to his mothers house,
on South Broad street, lane, near Barnard.
| physician was sent for, and gave pre-
| scription to enable the wounded man to
sleep quietly, but no effort was made 70
take out the ball.
The parties in the affair all escaped, as, IN
| fortunately, there was no policeman in the
neighborhood at the time the shooting
occurred. At half past twelve O'Clock last
night, when a representative OF the NEWS
saw the wounded man, he was suffering
considerably from pain, but no serious
results are apprehended, and the
! ball will probably be cut oui
20 day without difficulty. Mordecai is q
| barber with Mr.. Phillip Hermann, and Is
known as an industrious, respectable color
ed man, aud his present misfortune is due
to his efforts to prevent difficulty among
| others.

Il DISHONEST PORTER.
Trapped In his Tricks and Covered
with a Pistol.

For some time past a firm on the north
side Of the Bay have been annoyed by the
mysterious disappearance of small change,
stamps and various other articles about the
establishment. The porter of the house, a
coloreG man named Lynn Burke, was
thoroughly trusted, and no suspicion attach
ed to him until lately, when one of the
clerks was impressed with the ides that bg
close watching he might discover in Burke
sanOther good man gone wrong" and he
accordingly determined to lay in wait for
the seemingly honest porter.
Yesterday morning shortly before six
O'Clock be went down to the office, and Sc
curiCg good place where he could com
mand q view of the premises, and at the
same time being concealed from the OBJ
servation Of any one entering the Office,
calmly awaited ''the man and the hour
His place Of cOneeslment was an old dry
goods box in a corner, the last place that
the porter would think Of exploring. In
/ due time Burke arrived and Immediately
/ proceeded TO the cash drawer, which he
/ pulled out, and investigated the cOntenls
I with the greatest interest. II is the custom
| to leave a small SUN of money in the drawer
| for change, and Burke was evil
IDENTIFY Disguised at not finding a
larger Ou luib OCCdciOug but
his disappointment gave way to fear, when
The gentlemaDly clerk, with an ugly looking
revolver in his hand, which looked as
though it could speak 10 more fOrcible than
eloquent tOHes, gracefully evacuated
the drys goods boz. and covered" the
peeulating porter, as they say In California.
This vas indeed surprise to Burke, and he
was unable 10 express himself, but stood
trembling before the steady barrel Of that
revolver, which contained five chambers
ready 70 be vacated at the shortest notice.
Burke is g stout, buTly negro, and but for
the persuasive look OF that glittering Smith
& WessOn would undoubtedly endeavored
TO have placed the plucky clerk kOTS de-
combat AS it was, he was constrained
TO remain quiescent until other en-
pioyes OF the house arrived,
when Constable Eodres, of Magistrate Mo
lina's court. was sent for. and quickly re
spending, Burke was taken into custody
and carried to Jail in default OF bail,
