The Boston EOening Star, of Saturday,
prints an emphatic refutatiOn of the re
ports published in various journals,
charging the Ninth Massachusetts Regi
ment with gross misconduct at Rich
mOnd. The Star states that the regi
ment did not make any stay in Rich
mond. Instead Of being involved in q
difficulty with Virginia troops at York
town they serenaded General Fitzhugh
Lee and were complimented by him and
other distinguished Virginisns as being
the best drilled corps on the field. Gen
eral Lse went SO FAR as to say that eff
they had not gotten the prize it was not
because they had not won it. T" General
Hancock, in an interview with Colonel
Strachan, was highly indignant at the
ISLANDERS circulated about the corps, and
authorized an official contradiction. The
stories are said to have been set on foot
by Jersey man named Grubb, the New
Jersey Battalion being the Ninth's most
formidable rival.

A Tragic End 20 the Huntsville
Scandal.

Huntsville, Ala, Special to Nashville Amert-
can. October 81.
D. L. Love was killed in Greenville, Miss,
to-day, by John T. Lanier, of this city. The
following special to the Huntsville I'tde
pendent gives the particulars of the killing:
GREENvILLE, MISS, October Glove
came here several days since, and was en-
gagged in trying to get up subscriptions for
cotton factory. Lanier got here from
Vicksburg this morning. He and his father,
In going to the hotel, saw Love enter a
livery stable on the opposite side of the
street, apparently not having seen them.
They crossed over. and at the door saw him
talking to the stable proprietor In the rear
of the stable. Lanier advanced, shotgun
in hand, and when about twenty
yards from Love, the latter turn
mediately fred. Love was struck
in the neck and face, and turned to retreat.
Lanier fired the other barrel as Love en-
tered q buggy and mule shed. Love fell,
but got up, pistol In hand. Lanier had by
this time run up to the mule shed and
opened fire with a pistol. Love was now
down, but endeavored to crawl away
through the stalls, but his strength failed
and he gasped his life away on dung heap,
his mouth and eyes being full of 1t when he
was turned over. Love, who never fired,
had fourteen bullet holes in him. Lanier
surrendered, aud is now In charge of the
Sheriff He has retained Percy and Yerger
to defend him. Public verdict is that Love
was justly slain.
The causes which led to the killing are as
follows: Love and Lanier we're both suitors
of Miss Ida johnson, an accomplished
young lady of this city. She accepted La
nier, and they were married while Love was
in this city. He left for Mississippi few
DAYS after the marriage, and from West
Point, town in that State, he mailed to the
ding cards containing his own name and
that of Miss johnson on one side, and on
the other a printed statement rejecting
upon the chastity of the lady, and even
charging her mother with being cogniZant
of It. Lanier remained silent in regard to
the villainous insult offered, and none but
few friends knew what course he
would pursue. So about ten days
ago he left the city quietly in
company with his father, b. G. Lanier, Sr.,
his brother, Hon. B. G. Lsnier, Jr., and K.
j. Harrison, bound for Mississippi, on the
track of the traducer, with the result above
stated. The sentiment OF the whole COM
munity is with Lanier, and all applaud the
act done by him. Milton Humes, ESQ, w.
r. Rison, Colonel VIM. NJ. Holting, DR.. G.
NJ. Harris and VIM. Baldridge, some Of our
most prominent citizens, all leave tonight
for Mississippi to render any assistance to
Lanier that may be necessary. d. L. Love
came here last spring from Mississippi, and
was instrumental in organizing the cotton
factory here. He endeavored to obtain some
position IN the factory, but the directors re-
fused to elect him. His subscription to the
capital stock, amounting to $500, was re-
turned to him about two months ago.

John Sherman's Little Game OF
Ruff


The report of the recent Treasury in
vestigations, called for by Senator Sher-
mans resolution, was presented to the
Senate yesterday. AS the report is
merely formal and is damaging mainly
to Pitney, the displaced custodian of the
department, it offers as neat coat of
whitewash as Mr.. Sherman could desire.
He was careful to have the call for the
testimony voted down, and as he was not
assailed in the report, he can, doubtless,
escape annoyance on the subject so long
as the nice balance Of parties is preserved
in the Senate.
That the testimony would make inter
esting reading, the little that is known OF
it and Mr. Sherman's care to suppress it,
make evident. A man conscious Of his
integrity. placed in Mr.. Sherman's posi-
ton, would have either scorned or court
ed investigation. Sherman knew that
his name was understood to be smirched
by the testimony that brought about
Pitney's fall He knew what the report
contained, and he grabbed at it with the
hope Of throwing dust in the eyes of the
public. Instead of calling for the report
alone, he should have demanded the
whole of the testimony. That he pro-
cured its suppression makes the public
the more anxious for the whole story of
the Treasury rascalities.
President Arthur and the new heal of
the Treasury owe TO the people to re-
open the investigation. Regard for
party, which took care of Pitney after
he was ousted, will alone prevent the
truth from being made known. The
President will be recreant to the trust
which the people have accorded him if
he does not have the search continued,
aud if regard for Mr.. Sherman shall pre-
vent his performing this plain duty, he
will exhibit msgnsnimity all the more
remarkable in view of the humiliation
that Sherman subjected him to but two
years ago.
Sherman, however, in the view of his
associates, has earned immunity in con-
sideration of his services, and though the
just suspicious of the public have been
strengthened by hislast transparent trick
at vindicasion, they will, probably, not
be verified till q change is wrought in
the control of affairs. Then, perhaps,
the record of Sherman will be lost sight
of in the mass of corruption that the
vanished supremacy of Radicalism will
have revealed.

Senator Malone insists upon the Re
publican Senators standing by the nomi-
nations OF Gorham and Riddleberger for
Secretary and Sergeant alarms of the
Senate. The Republicans believe they
could elect a Secretary acceptable to
Senator Davis. Of Illinois, but they
must get Gorham out Of the way first.
Senator Malone refuses to consent to
any other candidate except Gorham, and
he has said that il the Republicans do
not make an effor. to elect Gorham and
Riddleberger, he would submit resolu-
ton to this effect. He will hardly do
this, however, as the resolution would
undoubtedly be defeated.

A Washington dispatch says the Demo
cratic Senators comment freely upon the
action of the Republicans in acting
against calling for the testimony taken
by the Treasury Investigating Commit
tee. They think the Republicans made
mistake, and several Democratic Sena-
tors say they will, if they can, call pub
lie attention to the vote of the Republi-
cans. and maintain that it was done to
suppress facts. The Democrats intend
to make capital out Of it if they can.
When the report comes in, another mo-
ton, calling for the testimony, will be
made by the Democrats, and this, they
say, will give them an opportunity to
discuss the matter and emphasize the
points they wish to make. 1t is said
that the Assistant Secretary will accom-
pany the report with a written defense
of himself, when it goes to the Senate.

Forty years ago it was a crime for q
foreigner to learn the Chinese language,
or for Chinaman to teach it to him;
and though the Marking treaty was
made in 1912, twenty-five years ago,
there were only five places In the vast
empire in which foreigner might dwell.
The great interior was still closed, as
none might go further than could be
reached in twelve hours from treaty
port. The whole empire is now open.
Thirteen out of the eighteen provinces
have been actually occupied by mission
aries and their families, the gospel has
been preached in nearly all the principal
cities and towns, and the Bible and many
forms Of Christian literature are circu-
lated everywhere.

Miss Grundy, writing from Washing
ton Of the opening of the Supreme
Court, says: GAS the Chief Justice got
a new satin gown for the last insugura-
ton Che says he gets new one only
whenever he is about to swear in a new
Presidency and Justice Harlan also
bought new one last spring, and those
of Justices Woods and Matthews are
also new Of course, there probably never
were so many new gowns worn in the
Supreme Court at the same time The
material of these gowns is an excellent
quality of satin de Lyon, except that of
the Chief Justice, which is satin de
chine. None of the other Justices are
privileged to wear satin Of that grade.
for, as it is well known, satin de Lyon is
merely satin finished silk"
