Washington on the 9th instant, are IN
great demand. Each senator, repre-

men of the joint committee alone have
the control of the tickets, which are
not yet printed. The arrangements
are intended to be so complete that

Two men, brothers, entered Wash
ington newspaper Office one day recent
ly, armed with pistols, and commenced
a Quarrel with one of the editors who
happened to be in. They intended,
evidently, to shoot the editor with
whom the quarrel was made, and while
one of the brothers grappled with him
the other fired his pistol several times.
Instead of killing the journalist, how
ever, he killed his brother. An assas-
sin in intention thus met with sudden
and terrible retribution. The other
who fred the fatal shot made himself
liable as murderer since he caused
death while deliberately engaged in the
commission of an unlawful act.
TEE New York Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children has is
sued it's seventh annual report, giving
an interesting account in detail of the
work of that organization during the
year 1881. One thousand nine hum
bred and ninety-nine complaints were
received by the society for the year,
1861 cases were prosecuted, and there
were 500 convictions obtained. One
thousand one hundred and sixty-one
children were relieved and placed in
homes or institutions, and 357 were
cared for and clothed in the soeiety's
reception room. The average cost of
sheltering, feeding and clothing S57
children was ST. ITO for each child.
1t cost S15, 2SS to run the society during
the year, and the receipts were s16,6ol.
THE report of the soclety for the sup
preston of vice, which has just held its
annual meeting in New York, shows
that its agent, Anthony Comstock, has
travelled over $4,000 miles, seized 35,-
600 open letters and 10000 songs, eata-
logues, ETC., of grossly obscene char
acter, and destroyed many pounds of
books and sheet stock, and twenty-five
pictures of the same description. One
hundred offenders have been arrested
during the year, and forty-four convict
ed and punished. The entire expense
of this work was but $1,000. The laws
have been severe enough, but hereto
fore there has been little effort to en-
force them. Mr.. Cemstock is engaged
in good cause. The publisher of OBJ
scene literature, and those who send 1t
into the homes of the land, 20 poison

of the yilest order, and merit any pun

DEATH OF JOHN HAMPDEN
HH11fB VME

The death on Saturday last OF John
Hampden Chamberlayne of the Richmond
estate" was shock felt in every part of
this Commonwealth. He died in the Wig
or OF his manhood, in the meridian OF MS
splendid intellect and in the very crisis
Of his usefulness-for at no other time has
Virginia SO needed such son as he. In
his death every true man lost a friend and
every trickster foe. He was NOBLE by
instinct, and Nature had sent him out
knighted with the highest rank within her
gift, peer of the Order of Gentlemen.
Poor, daily workman for livelihood.
his active sympathies were with those
who have not this worlds goods. Rich in
genius and learning, in those graces of
| life that make friends, he was the COM
panion and counsellor of those who manag.
the world of affairs and to whom the
seen from afar. He was truly a man Of
the people, of all people.
1t was his ambition to make paper
like himself. aud he did SO. 1t could not
be party organ; it would have BROKEN
this mans heart to have been the trimmer
and opportunity hunter that this editor Of
political organ has to be, but it could
have been something better, and it was
that something every day it was publish
ed. The paper, like the man. stopped to
nothing; the friend Of all, it was the ser
want of none.
It is not by his former editorial career
brilliant as it was, that he will be remem-
bered; it is not for his career as soldier,
gallant as it was and capped by his superk
bravery at the Crater, that he will bt
cherished longest, but it will be by tbs
journal which he founded, which ht
5 intended should be the monument Of his
life, and in the service of which he spefl
the last days of his life. that he will be bes
known. His wonderful intellect, his higf
8 courage, his endurance in labor all be
longed to John Hampden ChamberIayns
of the ''State.'' It is as he would have it
he left the ship going before the favorins
wind of fortune, and those who pact
her deck trained long under the nov
glazed eye Of the dead commander.
The long and mournful company which
followed the dead editor to the grave OF
Tuesday, including the House of Dele
= gates which had adjourned for the pur
r pose, was a fit evidence of that sorrow
r which pervades all hearts in the Common
d wealth.
