The brief announcement, yesterday,
that Colonel j. M. Heating, one of the
editors Of the Appeal, had been ar
rested in New York on the charge of
libel, brought'by Joseph Brooks, Gre
ated surprise and considerable re-
mark. Mr.. Brooks said, when here
last, that he did not care for the criti-
cisms Of the Appeal, but it seems that
he takes it more seriously. He admits
now that he does care, aud that to the
extent of thousands of dollars. He
adjourns the discussion to the
courts of New York, which is rather
an unusual procedure. The alleged
offense was committed in the State of
Tennessee, and it seems questionable
at first view whether New York
courts have any Jurisdiction. An
attempt was made once to have Charles
A. Dana tried in the District of Co.
lumbia for articles written in New
York City; but as he happened to have
no business in Washington for some
time, and a requisition would not hold
in a civil suit, the case fell through.
This was in the days of Boss
Shepherdism, when high-handed
rule prevailed. 1t is pretty
safe to predict that Manager
Brooks will get the worst of it, both
in his suit and in the estimation of
the press, the theatrical profession and
the public at large. When the com.
mercial value of a mans character
comes to be discussed in court, it often
happens that lawyers will make great
holes where there were only thin
places before.

CURIOSITY

prompted US to-day to
open a package of BLACK
WELLS BULL DURHAM
Lone Cur put up a year
ago and the tobacco was
as fresh and sweet as if
put up yesterday, so. you
may add that TO the list of
merits if you choose.
Have you discovered
those two features we men
toned yesterday? If not it
must be because you for
got to get a package.
Somebody is trying this
LONG Cur, just who we
can't tell, but we know
some people are investi-
eating our claims by the
way the orders are coming
in.
This is exactly the same
tobacco that we use in
BLA0KwELL's BULL DUR
HAM CIGARETTES, and is
prepared in exactly the
same way and you know
that means that the LONG
CUT is made from the BEST
leaf tobacco in the world
and is ABSOLUTELY PURE.
The writer overheard
two gentlemen talking
about this LONG Cur last
evening. Said one ut has
the finest favor of any
tobacco l ever smoked and
[ am satisfied it is per-
fectly pure" So there is
one man at least who
agrees with us.
Honestly now, isn't it a
comfort when enjoying a
pleasant, restful smoke to
feel that you are not abb
Sorbing any injurious drugs
and are smoking the same
quality of tobacco that a
famous Emperor has pro-
nounced unequaled?
When we came to this
city to introduce our Gig
arettes, some people asked
if we were not afraid they
wouldn't sell. We never
had any doubt of success,
for we believed that our
cigarettes were purer and
better than any others
and we thought we had
only to tell you the hon
est truth to secure your
patronage and now we are
just as confident of grand
success on this LONG Cur.
We are the originators
of the famous Durham to-
bacco, no one else thought
of manufacturing it until
we had made it a grand
success, and we are now
the largest smoking tobac-
co manufacturers in the
world, simply because we
have always given the
public the purest and best
goods.
The way BLACKwELL's

are selling is simply as

COL. DAVID A. WINDSOR NAMED.
a Voice from the Upper End OF the Eighth
District ON the COngrcssio on nj Question.

WINCHESTER, Va, July 20, 1882
To the Editor of TIE REPUBLICAN:
Many of the citizens of the eighth district of
Virginia are relying OH your paper as our expo
nent and champion of our cause The Coalition
movement is taking q strong foothold in this
vicinity, and is working up in quiet but sure
way. LUX kewarm Republicans and Readjusters
who have been content formerly to lie low and
do nothing but wait for the fruits, while other
men won the victory, had as well wake up. For
tunately most of them have already reused them
selves for the contest, and are beginning to
"catch on" to the true meaning of the Liberal
movement
COLONEL D. A. WINDSOR IS BOOMING UP
as the liberal candidate for Congress. We sin
cerely hope he may deci de to run. No triumph
throughout the State could be more signal and
beneficial than the carrying of the eighth district,
and Colonel Windsor Is Just the man to lead us to
victory. He is peculiarly gifted as leader and
an organizer. Combined in himself are tributes
of sterling adherence to party principles and un
fiinching courage. Brave in defense of his politi
cal position and indifferent to adverse criticism,
he has made sacrifices such as few men would be
willing to make. He Is a large tax payer in the
District of Columbia, and is identified with the
material interests ofthe State of Virginia. lie is a
practical business man, of liberal views, and
would represent conscientously and faithfully al
the people of the district. A.
