For Shame
To the Editor of TIE REPCRLIC

To the Editor of THE REPCBLICAN:
The first appointment made IN the In
terror Department by Secretary KirkwOod was
Bourbon watchman from the Navy-Ya recon-
mended by Hon. Hiram Price. The East Wash
ington Garfield and Arthur Club protested, but he
is there yet. One of the latest appointments by
the same official unnsturalized negro, who
has not been in the country two years, recon-
mended by Senator kellogg. He is there yet that
is if he is not i'll JAIL he and his white wife were
arrested on the street the other day for drunk
enness Section 1854 of the Revised Statutes stared
the great war Governor of Iowa in the face when
he made these appointments. It's pity that the
wall of the starving children of some soldier out
of employment could not reach his ears. For
shame STAi-NARI.

| HEARING ON HENRY HERBNER's HABEAs
C0RPus.-The hearing upon the h0beas corpus
case of Henry Herbner, committed to jail for
non-payment of fine for violation of city Sunday
law, was begun at the corporation court room
this morning before Judge Chilten-Messrs.
| Stuart and Burke representing Herbner and
| liquor interest. opposed to the Sunday law; Mr.
| Mushbs,k representing the liquor interest, in
! favor of the Sunday law, and Mr.. kemper repre-
| senting the corporation. The defence was
based upon the argument that the courts having
| already decided that the corporation OF Alexan-
dria had no power to create msdemeanor.
thereby made void the section which declared
| the act to be a misdemeanor, and subjected the
person convicted under it to fine. The fine
upon Mr. Herbner under that section was there
| fore without warrant of law. On the other side
it was contended that even the words ''shall be
a misdemeanor," stricken out. the statute still
imposed a legal fine for an offence. The judge
will render his decision this afternoon or to-
morrow.
INCREASE OF JUsrrcEs-An effort is now being
made to procure an increase of justices of the
peace i'm Alexandria county. The list
is now at the minimum fixed by the consti-
tuition. The justices are: Arsngto'a-P. W.
Squier. white, J, H. Robinson and Thos. Ford,
colored. Westinghouse. c. Nelson, white, h.
Whiting and ]. B. Mitchell colored. Jefferson
j. w. Wormley. ]. w. Beckley and Henry
Drummond. all colored. In all. seven colored
and two white justices 1t is said. however
tiat nine justices OF the peace are aounuantly
sufficient for the population of the county, and
it is not thought that any increase will be made:
for it is by no means certain that an increase Of
justices means an increase of justice.
ACCIDENT.-A little girl named Ella Moore,
residing on North Pitt street. had her LEG broken
by being run over this morning near the inter-
section of King and Fairfax streets. She was
in play running on the street chased by other
children, and ran under a feed wagon of Taylor
d Co, driven by colored man and drawn by a
mule. The vehicle passed over her. breaking
her leg. She was carried into Creghton's store.
near by. and thence to her home on a stretcher.
