A CAPITAL SCANDAL.
Infamous Conduct of Two DipI0-
matte ROughs.

WASHINGTON, June pa scandal of the
last social season has just cropped out. At
big reception given during the season by
Walter r. Davidge, prominent lawyer Of
this city, the Secretary of the FreHch Lega-
ton, Lazsme by name, and an attache Of
the Spanish Legation, named Pola, paid
especial attention to young lady from
Kentucky, the daughter of an ex-Judge.
When the guests went to the supper room
the two foreigners piled the young lady
with wine, and kept her at the table until
the room was deserted. They kept drink
ing wine with her until she was under its in
iuence. Having her In this state, they be-
gan taking liberties with her. This was
done openly. A number of people, who
dropped into the supper room, saw what
was going on. The libertines attempted to
get the young lady to run home with them.
A lady who knew her interfered and took
her home in her carriage.
The occurrence was reported to the
French and Spanish Ministers. Both La
zeme and Pold were recalled by their gov,
ernments. The former has just managed to
secure restoration to his official position.
His return renews the scandal, and makes
it public. He is ostracized by all decent
people.
Immediately after the affair the young
lady involved went to New York, and a
short time ago married rich man from
Boston,

Avery Green, a farmer of Hannibal, N.
T., asked his sick wife if she wished to
live any longer. She answered that she
thought she did. "Well,' SAID Avery.
81 don't know as do. We are paving
out money all the time for doctoring and
il don't amount to anything" Where.
upon he went out into his orchard and
shot himself through the head. It is
not surprising that a man should reach
the conclusion that shooting somebody
is the only way OF getting even with
the doctors, but lit is evident that
Avery Green shot the wrong man.
Ii he had shot the doctor he
might have put an end to the doctors
bills. If he had even shot his wife
he would have deprived the doctor of a
patient, and so curtailed expenses. But
to shoot himself was evidently mistake.
It only gave the doctor an opportunity
for an extra fee-and the fees for post
nortem are always large-and it left the
sick wife to go on ''paying out money
for doctoring" all the same. On the
whole. Avery Green cannot have a place
among the hberators of mankind. In a
financial point of view Mr.. Avery Green
must have been a very green man.

Chairman lewis OF the State Cen.
tral Committee Removed = A
StraightOue Ticket 20 be Put Up
I'm Augusta Fusion Delegation
TO Call ON Garfield.

RICHMOND, VA, June 21-Pursuant to
the call of the Chairman, Hon. John f.
Lewis, eighteen OF the twenty-seven mem
bers Of the Republican State Central Com
mittee met here to-day. In accordance with
resolution passed by the committee
in February last, which provided that for
the well being of the Republican party in
Virginia no member of the Republican
organization on the committee could at the
same time be q member of another organ-
ization that did not acknowledge allegiance
to the Republican party and its principles,
the Chairman, Mr.. Lewis, who was recently
nominated as the Readiuster candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, was declared no lon
ger member of the committee, and Gen.
N. G. Wfckham was elected to succeed him
as Chairman.
Mr.. Lewis did not attend the meeting,
since after the call for the 21st he sent out
a notification of the change of the date of
meeting to the 2Sth. The majority of the
committee, however, which met to day and
who represent the "stFaight OUTS" under
the lead of Wickham, Jorgensen and Dez-
endorf, acted upon the first cali of the
Chairman and transacted important busi-
ness. They decided to hold a convention
on August "a, at Staunton,
for the purpose OF nominating
candidates for State offices, and that
none but straightout Republicans could
vote for delegates, or be eligible for cleo
tion as delegates. The basis of representa-
tion in the convention is one delegate for
every 500, or fraction of 500, Republican
votes polled In each city and county in
1880.
In view of the confusion caused by two
days being set the committee resolved,
out OF abundant caution, to adjourn to meet
here on the 28th inst. The next meeting. 1t
is thought, will be lively one, as the Re-
adjuster element will have an occasion to
express their dissatisfaction with the action
of to-day's meeting.

CHARLESTON STIRRED.
A Move of the Steamship Lines
Causes ConsIernatton.

CHARLESTON, June 21.-Considerable sur
prise and some indignation is caused in
commercial circles here at the enforcement
of rule by all the steamship lines, requtr-
ing prepayment by consignees on all local
goods before delivery.
The merchants, who complain, say that
the new system will cause them iniuite
trouble and delay In the receipt of these
goods. while the steamship people saw th e
system is enforced in Savannah, New York
and other ports, and while it can do con-
signees no harm, it is necessary for the pro-
lection of the lines from unjust claims for
damages or overcharges for freight.
The system of collecting freights after
delivery to consignees has prevailed here
for so many years that the new departure is
rather startling. The complaints come
principally from the retail merchants. The
wholesale dealers seem to acquiesce in the
new arrangement.
