YEsrEKDAy,s SAD Work.

The fatal rencontre which occurred yes
terdayat the county court house between
two attorneys of this city, is matter to be
much and universally deplored 1t was
the elimination Of feud and antagonistic
feelings of long time existence between the
parties engaged. Both were men of I'M
pulsiye feelings, quickness of speech and
impetuous action; both had at various
times taken prominent parts IN the severa!
elections and other. contests, and at the bar
and in events which have transpired
in this city, and they had as often
FLASHED in their meetings. There had been
for long while spirit of personal hostil-
ity between them as ii appeared to all who
knew them. The smouldering spark re-
quired but slight breeze to beget per
sonal collision, but the friends of either
were scarcely prepared for the tragic de
movement which our local columns this
morning record. Dallas has been uniort-
innate within the past few months in the
matter of notoriety in the criminal calen-
dar first We had the Chambers killing, by
Freeman, next the shooting dead of
the would-be robber in the st.
George hotel, then the Pearson
scandal, and now the sad event ofyesterday,
In one respect she was fortunate, and that is
that there was the purely personal feature
about each difficulty which might have re-
suited elsewhere, and does daily transpire
81 ,bo,
political nor public connections whatever in
any of these homicides, and although the
fair name of Dallas has by so much been
furnished, the trouble is not of Dallas as a
city or section, as of the unhappy relations
and peculiarties of the parties themselves
involved One of the lessons again
taught by this scarlet event is the evil of
carrying the accursed pistol convenient to
the heated hand bristling with rebellion
and under the mandate of the excited brain
on fire with a fiendish anger that few mo-
ments of delay and reflection would cool at
least to the point of discussion with discre-
ton And yet another is the
evil of nursing and inHaming the feelings
against anyone whose opposition pride
and petulance or other things have de-
termined we should subdue or chastise,
even though it be by speeding the murder
GUS lead upon its fearful mission, ard
making life the plaything Of the passions
in their blood-red rioting. The late
law Of Tennessee makes the importation
and sale Of these weapons misdemeanor
with severe penalty, and appears to be
working effectively, as did that against the
"Arkansaw tooth-pick." This strikes at
the fountain head of these tools of slaugh-
ter, and has saved many n life from being
plunged with sudden act into death
and judgment, the ruin of one
family and the stained, sad memory
for another. The statute against
the carrying of concealed weapons seems
not to work in this nor the other states, and
some other one had best be tried. The car
rying of the pistol by dangerous characters
begets the necessity of a protective provis-
ion of similar kind on the part of the better
class. Let the weapons be kept beyond the
limits of the state, il the law against their
being carried on the person cannot be exc
cuted

AN exchange makes the following very
sensible and pertinent suggestions to our
southern farmers, and they would do well
to heed them, if it be possible. OF course
circumstances wonderfully alter cases, and
frequently a man is actually unable to do
what he, of all others, knows clearly will
be of greatest benefit to him. The clipping
is as follows: The south, in taking new
industrial departure, should not overlook
two matters of great Importance, viz
greater diversity in agricultural produc-
ton, and an abandonment of the pernicious
system of heavily mortgaging the future by
an abuse of the credit system. There is no
good reason why the southern farmer
should not continue to obtain his butter
from the east, his hay, bacon and mules
from the west, and then tell the world
that farming don't pay in the south.
The fact is, he don't know what farming is.
He has too long had cotton on the brain"
