THE ADDIsoN-GARLAND TRAGEDY.-The
affair between Addison and Garland, whose
trial is now going on in Virginia, was not
duel as it is commonly called. 1t was the
shooting down of one man by another in
cold blood. The grievance of Garland
against Addison about woman whom both
wanted to court, whether it was real or
fancied, was trivial. TO redress it Garland
armed and accompanied by two men, each
of whom was six feet tall and weighed more
than two hundred pounds, set out to seek
dr which ne FAD in his SG pocket sstt
put that the first shot was fired by Addison
The natural inference from these circum-
stances is that Addison supposed it was to
be fist fight until he saw bis opponent Get,
ting his pistol, whereupon he drew his own
weapon and fired in self-defence This. we
repeat, was not a duel. 1t was murder,
What the verdict of the jury which is now
trying the prisoner should be on the. evi-
dence in the case is clear What it will he
IN view of the sympathies and preiudices of
the jurors is another thing.-N. Y. Herald,

WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST %. 1882

PROF. WILLIAMSON, of the Virginia Mill
tary Institute. either from gratitude to the
Mahoneites for not removing him from his
position. or for some other reason not so APP
parent. has written public letter pralslnS
the Arthur administration and i'll favor OF
the election of Capt. John Wise to Congress.

Instruction, Professor Conrad ut the head of
the State College al BacKsburg, and pro-
tessor at another State institution pralSlnga
President who was removed from an Office
in New York ''for cause" and in favor OF
the election of Captain Wise. who is the ac-
credited exponent of party that has rcpu-
dated one-third of the State debt, and that
denounces preachers for asserting that what
is morally wrong cannot be politically right,
with all this. most people will think that
educational affairs in Virginia arc in rather
curious hands. One of the reasons Professor
Williamson assigns for his hope of the sue
cess of Mahoncism is its asserted rcconcila-
ton policy, and he quotes from Gen. Lee
the following sentence:
Il think it wiscst not to keep open the sores Of
war, but to follow the example of those nations
who cndcavorcd to oblitcratc the marks Of civil
strife and to commit to oblivion the feelings it
engendered.'
Has the Professor forgotten that though
Mr. Summer wanted the names of the bat.
ties of the civil war removed from American
flags, and that President Garfield said the
man would be disappointed who expected
political preferment by keeping alive wa,
memories, General Malone voted against
the repeal of a statute excluding cXConfcd
crates from the I. s. army, that the maj
the General follows implicitly in the Senate
Mr.. Edmonds, says the statute referred tc
must be perpetual to show which side wa

to have their property forfeited and TIL
