WARRINGTON, February o.-About one
month ago an article rejecting upon the
character Of A. NJ. soteldO, Of this city and
clerk to the Senate Committee on Rail-
roads, appeared in the local columns ofthe
National Republican. Since that time several
similar articles have been published in the
same journal, and this morning another
appeared. The last publication appeared
to trouble soteldO and during the day he
is said to have been in conversation with
friends, from whom he solicited advice as
to what steps he should take to prevent
the appearance Of further stories Of like
character.

The following is the item referred to as
appearing in the Republican Of the 9th inst.
1t reads as follows

Warrington Republican.

Of the Lyon House, on F street, clerk to
the Committee on Railroads of the United
States Senate, and newspaper correspond.

Hinton, a typo Of the Republican, s. II he
would secure for him the original manu-.
script OF news article which appeared in
these columns relative to A. NJ. Soteldo
and Colonel James Francis Keegan on the
18th ultimo. Mr.. Hinton, who was an
apprentice on the Republican some years
ago, when Mr.. Soteldo was its manag.
ing editor, and who has been attached 10
the paper for the last ten years, proved
10 be incorruptble, and refused to violate
the customary confidence reposed in the
employees ola newspaper Office. Just why
Mr.. SOteldo, jr desires the original manu-.
script is not known, but he ought TO re-.
member that bribery is not journalism,
and that such a proposition coming IRON
the clerk 10 Senate committee would nat.
urally tend to destroy confidence in said
clerk. The night after the publication Of
the article referred to Colonel Keegan for.
warded card to this office, giving the de.
tails OF the disgraceful affair which brought
himself and Soteldo into the courts and
newspapers. Mr.. Soteldo got wind Of the
intended publication, and through his
earnest personal solicitations, and those Of
his friends, based upon the plea that it
would ruin him in the community,
the card Of Colonel Keegan was
not published. This injustice 10
Colonel Keegan and favor to A. NJ. So
teldo is repaid by the latter in an attempt
to corrupt one Of the employees of his Jour.
mel. It is not forgotten in this city that
when this man Soteldo was managing editor
OF the Republican he boasted that he held
the mirror up to nature in presenting the
naked facts OF passing events to the public
through its columns. Whether he did or
not is best known TO those who remember
his signal failure in his efforts at so.called
refOm-a failure TO be very naturally ex-
pected when Mr.. SOteldos connection with
u well known blackmailing sheet in New
fork-namely, the Free Lance, was so we'll
remembered.
The original manuscript OF the first arti.

in our possession.

The news quickly spread, and in few
minutes crowd ot several hundred per.
sons had assembled in and about the Re.
pbblisdn office. The business office, news and
editorial rooms, swarmed with newspaper
reporters, friends Of the respective parties,
and many others merely curious. The
place where the shooting occurred is a
small room in the second story OF the
building, about ten by twelve feet, with
one window overlooking Pennsylvania
avenue, and a single door opening directly
into the editorial room, aiTordinS It's only
entrance and exit,
The furniture Of this room consisted Of
single desk, used by Barton as news edl.
tor, and two plain wooden chairs, besides
one occupied by Barton, stretched at full
lOngth upon the floor, with his head Mi.
lowed upon a pile OF newspapers.

An evening paper referring to the sub.

to libel, and he thought he would proceed
in that direction; and he thought it would

"laugh best who laugh last" Between nine
and ten o'clock tonight, while Clar.
ence NJ. Barton, news editor, and Frank
Conger, business manager Of the Republican,
were alone in the editorial room. Soteldo
and his younger brother Charles entered
and took seats by the side OF Barton, ac.
cording to the statement of Mr.. Conrer.

face, drew from his pocket paper or
manuscript, which he requested Barton to

complied with. After concluding the read.

ject, that he (Barton) could not act in the
matter, and passed the paper back, at the
same time rising from his chair. Where

against the table, at which he had been
sitting.
A scuiIle then ensued, during which n
lamp on the table was tilted toward Con.
ger, who picked 1t up and hastily left the
room. Three or four pistol shots in Quick
succession were then heard. When the
alarm was first given the compositors upon

found Barton ejecting the younger Soteldo
from the editorial room.

1t was not known for several minutes
that the elder Soteldo had been shot: but
