Sulphur In the Air.

The Dispatch of the 18th inst. pub
fishes correspondence of hostile
character between Gen. Peyton Wise of
Richmond, a brother of Hon. George D.
Wise. and L. L. Lewis, q. 8. District
Attorney, brother of Hon. John F.
Lewis, in which Lewis acknowledges
the correctness of the report of his re-
marks in speech in Petersburg in re-
ference to George D. Wise, who is abb
sent, canvassing in Southwest Virginia,
in which he alphabetically denounced
Geo. D. Wise as "a liar, scoundrel,
and fool" whereupon his brother,
Peyton Wise, uses the following LAM
guage which, he says, sis not intended
to be hypothetical but absolute :"
'The public will observe that have
affixed to the name of l.. L Lewis the
other titles which belong to him besides
the high-sounding one of United States
District Attorney (God save the mark J
and they are those Of Fool, Blackguard,
Liar, and Coward"
The remarks of L. L. Lewis in refer
ence to George D. Wise were based, we
presume upon the following remarks of
Wise. at Wytheville, as reported by the
correspondent of The State in his letter
dated Sept 18th. on the superstition that
Wise had been reported correctly
when Capt. Wise gave the touch of
his burning genius to the second can.
.didate of the Coalition party, John F.
Lewis, it struck the audience like q
flash Of lightning. 1.-THE arrest of in
nocent citizens Of your own section !"
brought down the house in wild app
plause. The slanderer of Henry A.
Wise, this man who stole money from
the people by fraudulent fees and by the
salary. grab, is now a candidate for high
office, and seeks the sufffages of the peo-
pie he has SO foully wronged."
If the remarks of Wise were correctly
reported, about which we have some
doubt, we do not wonder at the indigna-
ton expressed by Lewis. We regret to
see such intense personalities introduce
ed into the canvass.
p. S.-We learn that Peyton s. Wise
and L. L. Lewis have gone to fight q
duel.

DEATH OF q. 8. SENATOR BURNSIDE.
Gen. A. E. Burnside, U. 8. Senator
of Rhode Island, died of spasms of the
heart, at his residence in Bristol, Rhode
Island, at IL o'clock last Tuesday
morning. He was the inventor of q
breach loading rifle. He was q ma
tive of Indiana and graduate of West
Point, and served in the Mexican war
and also In the late war between the
States.
Senate in 1875 and reelected at the last
session of the Rhode Island Legislature
for second term. He was not a ready
leader, but she had considerable influ.
ence in the Senate on account of the
high regard In which he was held by
his political opponents as we'll as his
political friends. Until the vacancy oc-
casioned by his death is filled the de-
mocrats will have q clear majority in
the Senate.
By former legislation man crippled
on railroad could recover damages; If
killed there could be no recovery by
the widow or children. Who bethought
himself of these helpless poor ones,
whose support is often suddenly taken
away. Did General Malone direct any
of his men in the Legislature to have
such law passed? Was Harry Rid
|-dleberger, of the Valley, the patron of
such bill, or Paul, or Fulkerson, or
Massey, or any Mahoneite? Not that
we ever heard. But John w. Daniel
had such bill passed, and we know
widows who have awaited themselves of
his thoughtful legislation.-Lynchburg
