an amiable man but he was auburn haired
and he was Virginian with the towering
pride of the Old Dominion when fired.
The man who slew him was modest and
amiabie editor from Ohio, but one of the
most reckless, CALLING and at times unjust
vituperators on any respectable American
newspaper. Nobody's feelings were sacred
from the scourge of this man Cockrelrs
pen. The erring society belle
and the unfortunate cripple came
in alike for his unsparing ferocity. Not
many months ago Cockrin was dragged
into court for criminally libelling some of
the officials of his city and state. The man
whom he slew had, through lack of low
cunning, perhaps, been repeatedly thwarted
in his quest after political nominations.
He had sworn never to dabble in politics
again, and his failure to adhere to his
resolution attracted the attention of the
adverse critics.
The red slayer and his victim were men
of unfortunate dispositions; they were not
vicious but they were fated to get into
trouble whenever they should meet their
man.
One version Of the affair is that Cockrill
was crowded to the wall which if true
would make his act justifable homicide in
the eyes of the law, but whatever the court

his pistol at short arm and pointing to-
ward Cockrill; that Cockrill uttered the
words and gave the warning as telegraphed
last night; that quick, brief tussle took
place; that Cockrill fired; that Clopton
closed with Cockrill, and only released
his hold of him when McGufin placed the
pistol he had taken from Slayback to his
(Clopton's) head and told him to do so or

There are good many democrats who
are disguised with the fusion party, and
are going to abandon it and vote on the
other side. One of this kind is Capt

that he is done henceforth and forever

The Progressive Age published some con-

A Large Failure.

BUFFALO, April IA.
The First National Bank of Buffalo closed
this morning. A large number of their
drafts issued to livestock dealers have drawn
on the Fourth National Bank of New York
city on the 4th inst, and since, were yester-
day dishonered in New York. The extent of
drafts unpaid is thought TO be large. The
failure will seriously affect large number of
livestock dealers. 1t is believed the deposit
tors will be paid in full.
Government bank examiner Young, now
in charge of the bank, reports that the cause
of the suspension, as now apparent, was
management only, no defalcation on the part
of the bank officers being shown. The vol
ume of business transacted was greater than
the capital warranted. The loss, if any,
will fall upon the stockholders. 1t is be-
lieved that the paper of the bank issued will
be paid and customers protected.

rHE sHIPHERD INVESTIGATION.
The Witness still Refuses to- Answer all
the Questions of the Committee.

WASHINGTON, April IA.
The Shipherd investigation was resumed
this morning.
The witness said the subject of war with
Chill was never discussed with Blaine or with
Senator Blair
He was not aware that General Grant ever
wrote letter to Washington, saying that II
was time that the United States should stel
in.
Belmont pressed the witness for the reasons
which he must have had in his mind when he
(Shipherd) said there were grave reasons
why the Secretary of State didn't give his
(Shipherd's) letter to the Attorney General
for criminal action, but failed to obtain any
further light upon the subject.
The witness stated that he presented his
letter of introduction from General Grant TO
President Arthur, but declined to repeat what
occurred at that interview with the President
Belmont-Bur didn't it have any relation
to the Peruvian Company in any way!
Answer.-Yes, sir.
The witness declined to answer what the
relation was.
Belmont did it occur that Blaine
sent dispatch on the 18th, indicating that
the Peruvian Company was bubble; that
your interview took place on the 18th,
and Blaine sent another despatch, which was
Witness am only cOgnizant Of the
chronological facts. / will not attempt to
give an explanation.
Witness in response TO questions stated that
neither he or his associates ever entertained
the slightest suspicion of possibility OF war
with Chill.
Belmont-Will you tell US what you un-
derstood by marginal note upon Blalne's des-
patch? Go in Steve.
Answer-The impression made upon my
mind was that the wishes of the department
were that Hurlbut should go on in the course
he was pursuing, regardless of the text OF
the despatch.
The witness declined to state whether the
draft of the instructions which General Grant
endorsed had any allusions to possibility OF
war with Chill. He would, at the proper
time produce the original. In response to
further questions the witness repeated more
in detail his theory of Blaine's idea in
writing the letter of Dec 3rd, and added: l
desire to state here, in regard to published
statements that had certain correspondence
with Blaine, that there certain letters which
Blaine would not like to have published.
There is nothing in it. The statement is
false l never received autograph letters
from Secretary Blaine, and all cOrrespon-
dence that ever passed between us had been
published.
The witness stated that in sending docu-
ments to Mr.. AriZola to be delivered by Min
lister Hurlbut he considered that he was deal
ing with the executive (Calderon) and while
presenting his own interests, that is, those of
the Peruvian Co., he was at the same time
availing himself of any collateral opportuni-
ties which might arise, such as the interests
of Peru in that connection.
The examination of Shipherd was post
poned till tomorrow and Mr.. Brown, chief
clerk of the State department, was questioned
in regard to some of the printed documents.

Duty of the. Senate in Regard to
Nominations by the President.

A very clear statement of the duty Of
senators in regard to nominations made
by the President. is found in a recent COM
munication published in the Boston Ad-
vertiser in relation to the question Of con-
firming Mr. Worthington as collector Of
the Boston custom house. As the duty of
the Senate in regard to nominations made
by the President has been likened by
Gov. Plaisted's friends to the duty of the
Council regarding nominations by the
Council, the following statement is of
special interest as showing how false is
the theory they maintain that the Council
is bound to confirm the nominations of the
Governor whether they approve them or
not. The writer says:
1.-The complement Of the doctrine of the
independence of the Executive in max
ling nominations is the doctrine of the in
dependence Of senators when the ques-
''tion of confrmingt the nominations comes
'before them. There is perhaps some
treason for expecting senators will vote
''to confirm nominations which they have
''advised the President to make But it
''is too great strain on common-sense
"theories of party discipline to maintain
THAT senators are under obligation to
''vote in the senate to confirm nomna-
''tions which they have told the President
''they believed to be unwise or unfit.
"When the President has made nomna-
''tion contrary to the judgment of the SEN
''ators consulted, they are not bound to
"relinquish their own judgment. Their
faction will depend on their sense of the
requirements Of duty in each case"
