DIR. Lenz, in a recent lecture at Paris
on his journey from Morocco to Timbuc
too, has been correcting some of the gen
orally received notions as to the copdi-
tion of the Sahara. 1t really foIms n
great plateau, about |, 100 feet above the
level OF the Atlantic, In no part of this
plateau is there to be found that depres-
sion below the level of the ocean which
is shown on the maps of certain geogra.
pliers, and which has led to wild schemes
of converting the Sahara into a great in
land sea. Moreover, the Sahara is not
one dead sandy level, but is really great
ly varied in its aspect. Rocks are sue
ceeded by sandy plains, here and there
are oases covered with alfa grass and
stagnant shallow sheets of water The
fresh water fossils which are met with in
many parts show that the Sahara is not
the bottom of dried up sea. Again,
the temperature is not nearly so hot as
might be expected, In short, the Sahara
is not so bad as it has been called, wild
beasts are rare, and the most formidable
enemies to be met with are the touring
tribes, who, according to report, recently
massacred the French Trans Sahara En-
pedition, As to Timbuctoo DIR. Lenz
found he had to traverse "A great space
covered with ruins before he could reach
the inhabited part. There are now only
10000 inhabitants, but many schools and
rich Libraries.

p04rted-What the Citizens Want
The matter of change in the Commits
sioners of the District seems 10 occupy the atten
ton of numerous aspirants to serve the Govern
ment in that capacity. The persistent Bowen, not
content with sending a delegation daily to
the White House, yesterday inflicted an inter
view upon the unoffending Critic in order to
set forth what he believes to be his peculiar fitness
for the position. In referring to some of his acts
while mayor, AIr. Bowen says: "In my message
to the councils June %, 1863, I recommended the
abolition of the contract system IN toto and the
employment of laborerS by the day 20 perform cor
poration work. which alienated the contractors
from me, and that alienation exists to this day."
The writer well remembers some of the day
laboriDg that was performed during the
Bowen administration. Able and stalwart
freedmen were seated upon the curbstone
ofmany of the streets diligently cutting the grass,
which sprouted between the cobble-stones in the
cutters with q common case knife. Oh. no.

ALExANnRIA,s SENSATION.
What Caused the Difficulty Between
Payne and Burke.

Special to THE REPUBLICAS.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 16.-In my dis
patch last night could only give you the brief
fact that Mr. Louis E. Payne, formerly clerk OF the
County Court, had been shot by Edmund Burke,
the Commonwealth attorney for the county of
Alexandria, in the Tontine restaurant The affair
caused intense excitement, and has been the prin-
cipal topic of conversation to-day. Both parties
are we'll known, have been actively en-
gagged in local and State politics, and each has
a large circle of friends. There is history con-
nected with the shooting that has not yet been
published, the facts of which L have
known for some time. It is stated that
one night last oruary. as Payne was
nearing his home after trip into the country
to attend political meeting. he saw Burke come
from the door aud walk rapidly away. Upon en-
tering the house Payne found his wife in such q
condition as to leave no doubt on his mind that
she had been unfaithful to her marriage VOWS,
and of course Burke was the suspected party ofthe
second part. Payne has not since lived
with his wife, who has since their separation, re-
sided with her mother in this city. Believing that
Burke had seduccd his wife it is natural that Payne
should have felt extremely bitter toward him. and
whenever he was under the influence OF liquor
he would threaten to take Burkes life.
These threats he has frequently made lately,
and Burke, hearing of that fact, armed himself
and when Payne entered the restaurant he deter
mined to get the dror on him. and so fired. Payne
was not severely injured, the ball entering his
right coat-seeve at the wrist and asSing the
elbow, grazing the arm an infictin3 only slight
flesh wound, amounting to nothing more serious
than an abrasion. There is another side to the
story, which is to the effect that Payne was in
the habit of frequently getting grossly
intoxicated and while in that condition, abusing
and ill-treating his wife, ami that she was COM
PEELED to leave him on that account. Her friends
stoutly maintain her innocence. and assert that
Payncs charges of her infdclity are wholly
unfounded. L give you both versions as
items of news gathered from the gossps.
resulting from the unfortunate occurrence of last
night This afternoon Payne was put under bonds
by Justice Thompson in the sum Of $500, with
General Lomax as surety. to keep the peace for
one year. Burke waived an examination, and
was committed to jail to answer an indictment at
the next grand jury term of the Corporation Court
He was subsequently taken before Judge A. W.
Chiffon on q writ of habeas corpus, and was adj
mitted to bail in the sum Of $780, with C. II. Smith,
r. T. Lucas, John 7. Hammond. and Robert Bal
lenger as surctieS. Mr. A. W. Armstrong appeared
for Mr.. Burke and Mr.. S. G. Brent for the Com
monwealth.
