FURIOUS FIGHT IN NELSON COUNTY,
Among the stirring incidents that have re-
Gently transpired here is a furious fight
that took place last week in the Buffalo
Ridge, between Ned Hudson and his son
Bill on one side, and two: young men
named Lane on the other. 1t appears that
the Lanes were employed by George w.
Mitchell, Esq. to haul some railroad tie.
from of the land on which the lludsons
reside. Old man Hudson came into the
woods where the Lanes were, and ordered
them off the land. Upon their refusal to
comply, he hurried oil to his house and
soon returned with his son, armed to the
teeth, one with shotgun, the other
with pistol. Ned Hudson fired at one
OF the Lanes and hit him in the leg, in
ficting slight flesh wound. The Lanes
rushed for their assailants, overthrow
them, and whipped them so soundly they
begged for quarter, and were glad to get
of with their lives. In the fight one OF the
Hudsons had a part Of his ear bitten off,
which was afterwards sewed on by eX-
Justice John Hunt Pamplin, but report
says that he sewed it on upside down,
and, as 1t has begun to heal the work will
have to stand, or new surgical operation
will have to be performed. Politics had
nothing to do with the fight, but it may not
be out OF place to state that the victorious
Lane boys are Democrats, while the two
Hudsons and their skilful surgeon are dis
tinguished statesmen OF the Malone per.

Several days since the Mahoneite organ
boastfully said that the Democrats OF the
Council would be "shelled out" OF their
position. This was mere brdg, rs the Sc
quel proves. At meeting Of the Select
Council last night the president OF that
body, Major VIM. 4. Foster, handed in his
resignation, as did also Mr.. Lewis w. Webb.
We know nothing Of the reasons that In
duced Major Foster to resign, but presume
that not wishing to occupy partisan posi-
ton in this community he could not follow
the dlctation OF the Mayor, who appears TO
be running the Select branch at this time.
Mr.. Webb was really shelled out OF his
place by Captain Elliotts application Of
ld,o to persons holding positions, both Fed
eral and State, at the same time.
The vacancies will not be filled until the
next meeting OF the Select Council. In
the mean time the Democrats " hold the
fort. "-Norfolk Ledger.

Row AT WEST POINT.-On Monday night
about O'Clock difficulty occurred be-
tween Mr.. Eller and Mr.. Barnes near the
hotel bar-room, which resulted in Mr..
Eller's leaving and going down to his
place Of business, and after short time re-
turning to the same place, and as he was
about entering a bar-room, Mr.. Barnes,
being inside, saw Mr.. Eller coming in with
pistol in his hand, threw a glass at Mr..
Elias head, and caused blood to come
forth, and in minute or two, in the street,
MIR. Eller shot at Mr.. Barnes, and "nobody
hurt" Mr.. Barnes pursued Mr.. Eller,
and Mr.. Eller and some Of his friends,
caught MIR. Barnes and "downed him.
and some outsiders parted them.
The Mayor gave the following judg-
ment: Mr.. Barnes to pay s5 fine and costs
OF the trial, and that both Eller and
Barnes be bound over to keep the peace

Both wheat and oat harvest over. Oat
crop q failure-eaten up by the bug. Wheat
crop large and of good quality. The
threshers are abroad, and soon there will
be bread for the hungry. Owing to the want
of food during the winter and early spring,
occasioned by last summers drought,
many went on the railroad and elsewhere
to seek work, consequently labor in the
county has been very scarce; but notwith-
standing this the grain crop was harvested
in good condition. Corn is looking well
and tobacco out of the grass, but looking
badly, though there has been no lack OF
seasons. Many wheat-growers provided
themselves with reapers this harvest
long step ahead. Hope our hills will not
force them two steps backward. One new
steam thresher made its appearance in the
county about Il week since.

victed for the murder of Mr.. Creed Carter,

The Administration pronunclannento on tDe
subject OF political assessments mas Deen
freely discussed In all the Departments ana
among Government employees generally to-
dav. The document reads very well on us
face. but it does not deceive the shrewd
ones, It Is to be expected that some per,
sons in the Departments will fail to respond
n the circular OF the Republican Campaign
Committee, but such as do can rest assured
that they will be marked, and sooner OF
later their Official heads will come on.
All or nearly oil OF the Democratic
clerks In the Departments have al
ready responded and paid the assess
ment levied upon them. Indeed, they are
always among the first to pay up, as they
know that their tenure Is at the best very
precarious, and they are ever on the alert
that as little suspicion as possible shall at
tach to them. The receipts OF the Repub-
lican Campaign Committee will not be one
cent less on account OF the opinion. The
clerks and the subordinate employees OF the
Government cannot however, understand
why the screws are applied with so much
more vigor to them than to the higher OFF,
cials-those who get the cream OF the emol-
uments and the honors, and who give or

The Issues.

Mr.. VANCE made capital little talk in
the United States Senate the other day.
He submitted what he styles the issues
which are presented to the people by Re-
publican legislation. He submitted them
in the form OF docket, and says they are
the issues which are to be tried in the High
Court Of Reform. They are as follows:
1. Bank Capital and Deposits Us. Farm
ing Capital and Implements.
No. 2. Bank Checks Us. Trace-Chains.
No. 3. Rat-EXterminator, Bug-POwders
& Co. Us. Camphor, Opium, and Chloro-
form.
No. 4. Lubin's Extract, Cinnamon-Drops
& Co. Us. Salt.
No. s. Buchu, Rosadalis, and Cunduran-
70 Us. Cotton and WoOllen Machinery.
Nails, and Stoves.
No. 7. Steel Rails for Railroads rs. Hoes,
Axes, Planes, and Saws for Workingmen.
No. 8. Cigars and Cigarettes Us. Cotton
Ties and Cotton-Bagging.
The reader will perceive at once that Mr..
VANCE was burlesquing the bill presented
by the Republican caucus to reduce the in
ternal taxes. Mr.. VANCE said he desired
to appear for the defendant in all those
cases. We quote:
"The Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman
has given us an intimation that he appears
for the plaintiff in the case Of playing-cards
the Senator from Michigan mir. Congerl,
believe, appears for Rat EXterminator,
Cundurango & Co."
Mr.. HoAR replied to Mr.. VANCE. When
he finished:
Mr.. VANCE: Mr.. President, one reason
why labor Is higher in Massachusetts, than
It Is In North Carolina is that in North
Carolina we have to paw for our own labor
and Massachusetts, labor too. When the
Senator comes to count up the patent
churns and the double back-action rotary
cutrand-come-again self-adiusting pumps
and self-acting rocking-cradles--
Mr.. HOAX: Why do you not invent and
make them for yourselvesS
Mr.. VANCE: / decline to be inter.

me to interrupt him, and he can take his
seat now II he pleases.
Mr.. HOAR: l will.

yances that we buy from New England
and which are protected by a tariff rangin.

our wages to our own laborers and ali O
those, | think we are paying really twic
= as much, in fact, as he Is.
Mr.. LOGAN: thought the Senator wa
4 opposed to taking the tax off patent-medi
cines.
Mr.. VANCE: So we are opposed to tax
Ing II of anything down below the revenue
standard. hope the Senator will not be
uneasy about observation-disclosures. We will
not tax them so "a to be beyond his reach.
He needs liver regulator, 1 think, right
now.

that yon could earn by the toll OF your own

Der when he takes the stranger and shows

traveller on the highway wants II broken up.

A SHARP REPORT.-A Cosltionist ap-
preached Democratic friend Of ours (who
had fought Massey bitterly during the last
two campaigns) on the court-green, at
Cumberland courthouse, on Monday last,
and said to him that he hoped he would
speak against Massey as he had done in the
past. The answer he received was any
thing but pleasing to him, when the Demo-
crat said: ooh no, you endorsed every
thing Massey did up to the meeting Of the
last Legislature-I endorse everything he
has done SINCE" The answer was brief,
but it was to the point. Bdrmuite Jour

THE FATHER OF READJUsTMENT.-1n open
ing his speech in Winchester on the 18th
instant Mr.. Massey reminded his audience
that when be last spoke here he had been
introduced by Hon. Z. r. Fauntleroy as
the great "Father of Readiustment." Du-
ring the course Of his speech Mr.. Massey
made Use OF some severe comments upon
Mr.. Rddleberger, whereupon Hon. I. T..
Fauntleroy and three others arose from
their seats and in solemn procession moved
TO the door and out OF the hall. As their
figures disappeared from view Mr.. Massey
remarked, 81 see some OF my children are
iorsaking their daddy" And "the chill
drem" must have thought that it had thun-
dered from the shout that went up VIM
chester Times.

THE COALITION MEETING IN PAGE CoUN-
TY.-[Front Royal RedJaSter. I'VE didn't
think the prospect very encouraging for
Johnny Wise. The meeting held at the
close of the discussion for the appointment
of Coalition delegates to the district con-
vention was very SHINY attended. Mr..
President, the secretary, and the mover OF
resolves were there, and perhaps half
dozen others. Many Observation-Disclosures
stood aloof, and will have nothing to do
with the Coalition concern.
The people of Page will not be deceived
by any pretended Liberalism. In State
politics they are Readiusters, but in ma
tional political contests they are DEM
ocratic, and will prove it next November
by polling large majority for the Read-
juster-Democrati ticket.

Reliable intelligence from all quarters Of
the State, and from the man most directly
interested, and who ought therefore to be
well informed about the matter, is to the
effect that Mr.. Massey will be elected con-
gresham at large by large majority. The
only way his majority can be reduced is
the opposition Of such swaybacked Debt
Payers as prefer man who says he wants
to root out Debt-Payers to one who rightly
thinks the Virginia debt has nothing to do
with national politics, and who is sick Of
the crimes that have been perpetrated in
the name Of Readiustment.- Alerandria
