The Richmond Wing acknowledges that
the Democrats do not have control Of the
polls in Virginia, and that of the three
Judges at every voting pecinct in the State
the Democrats have only one; and that OF
the remaining two, one is Mahonete and
one Republican, and that these two inva-
riably unite against andioverrule the single
Democrat. In making this admission (and
1t could do nothing less) the Wing virtually
abaudons its whole case; for why should
the Mahopeites cry for "free vote and a
fair count" when they not only receive the
votes but count them, II any legal voter
is denied the privilege Of casting his ballot,
or doesn't have bis ballot. when cast, fairly
counted, it must be with the connivance OF
either the Mahoneite or Republican judge,
as it would be impossible for the single De-
mocratic Judge to do so without such con-
niyance. -Aterandria Gazette.

SHOOTING AFFAIR AT COL.
LIERVILLE.
One Han Killed and Two Wounded
at Midnight.
An Unknown Desperate Bites
The Dust.

Collierville was the scene of a des-
perate shooting ARRAY at midnight last
night, in which three men were shot,
one being killed and two others
wounded. The particulars, as nea as
can be learned, are as follows. A
large, powerfully built man, of a very
suspicious character, was discovered
by Uity Marshal L. H, Arlington in
Paine & McDonald's saloon and res
taurant at the hour named above. AS
he was dourishing a large navy pistol,
and was threatening in his manner,
the officer attempted to arrest him,
when he defied arrest and claimed to
be a detective. Mr.. Abingdon. then
demanded that he show his authority,
at the same time taking hold of him.
The desperate then pushed him back,
saying IF you want to see my au-
thority | will show it to you" at the
same time drawing a navy revolver and
firing at the officer, the ball taking effect
in the shoulder, inaicting a slight
flesh wound. Mr. Abingdon promptly
returned the fire, his shot striking the
man in the side, but did not cause
him to fall.
Mr.. Will Paine, son of the proprie-
tor of the house, came to the officers
rescue, when the weuld.b be assassin
turned and fred at Mr.. Pane, just as
be was STOPPING to get a shotgun
which was heal by, the bullet taking
effect in the left shoulder. But the
shot was not such as to stagger Paine,
who raised his gun and fired the whole
charge of buckshot passing through
the mans neck, nearly severing his
head from his body, killing him on the
spot. Upon examination it was seen
that the shot from the marshal pistol
had taken effect in the body of the
man. He is described as weighing
about one hundred and fifty pounds;
about six feet high, with heavy black
whiskers on his chin, not having been
shaved for some time dressed in dark
overcoat and Derby hat, dark pants,
and wore gaiter shoes.
A gang of negro thieves was Gala
boosed here yesterday. 1t is thought
that this gang, which is composed of
six or more bad characters, have been
committing numerous burglaries in
this vicinity.
The mail rider, Mr.. Amos Harrell,
was attacked by a couple of thieves
near Collierville, yesterday, and shot
through the hand while making his
escape. Every effort is being made
to bring the guilty parties to justice,
Much credit is due City Marshal Alb.
iugton and Mr.. Paine for the prompt
ness with which they disposed OF the
murderous rufian.
