A Judge on Dueling.

RICHMOND, VA, Sept, 20.-Judge
Atkins, of the Hastings Court, today
in charge to the grand jury called
special attention to the law Of libel.
His charge is supposed to be an effort
to break up duellng. In ii Judge
Atkins said: "There is class OF
cases in which strict enforcement; Of
the law would be of great benefit 10
the community, the law against libe..
A libel is the malicious publication Of
any writing, sign. picture, effigy or
or other representation tending to de-
fame the memory of one who Is dead
or tue reputation Of one who is living,
and 10 expose him 10 ridicule, hatred or
contempt. 1t is punishable as a misde-
meanor on the ground that such pub
licatien has tendency to disturb The
public peace. You will readily see,
gentlemen, that the enforcement oil
this law would prevent many OF the
unseemly shooting matches which
usually follow these publications, and
gentlemen would soon begin to look

Under this heading the Virginian. o.
date Sept. 2lst, 1883, has undertaken
to give its history of the origin and
subsequent passage of the "School
Bill" suppose the editor Of the
Krginian gave such history as was
furnished him. but unfortunately bis
information was incorrect.
The facts in the case are simply as
follows:-About the first of December
1878, 1 went into the Office OF Judge G..
r. Calvert, in Ne Market, and stated
to him that if bill could be drafted
that would retain the money due to the
public schools in the several counties
in the Stale, that thought by that
means the public schools could be made
satisfactory 10 the people. Judge
Calvert replied that he thought it could
be done without difficulty; and after
discussing the subject for while,
draft of the bill embodying it's princi-
pies, was prepared, partly by Judge
Calvert aud partly by myself. The
next morning started to Richmond;
and upon my arrival tn ere, l called to
my assistance, Mr.. Bernard OF the city
OF Petersburg when some changes in
the form of the bill were made, and
then submitted. will state here now
that Hon. II. II. Rddleberger was not
present. nor was there any other draft
OF a bill present, except the one pre-
pared by Judge Calvert and myself
AS to auy conversation between Judge
Calvert and Mr.. Riddleberger on the
school question l have no personal
knowledge, but do know that l never
saw, nor heard OF any other bill except
tue bill before alluded to.
Nor was the School Bill of which l
was patron ever submitted to General
Malone. was not IN the city of Peters
burg in the fall or winter Of 1878, and
If had gone there at that time | would
by no means have consulted Malone
Cd the subject. During the session OF
the General Assembly of 1878, 1 did
90 to the city OF Petersburg 10 consult
General Mshone concerning a bill that
1 had for the settlement of the Public
DEBIT at that time Gen. Malone en-.
dorsed and approved the Barbour Bill,
at that time | had not thought OF the
School Billiard [ will say now, that
neither Gen. Malone or Capt. Riddle
berger ever saw the bill for the public
schools. of which l was patron, until it
was seen by them iu the public print
should it become necessary for the
above statements 10 be futher verified
and It can be done. AS 10 tn future
history of the bill, the statements Of
Mr.. Henry are IN the main correct.

ENTERPRISE A section having as
much good timber as this has should
certainly have enterprise enough to
manufacture it into such implements
as we use. We sell the timber at about
what it Is worth 10 the woods, let other
parties pay the freight to their factory,
manufacture ii into wagons and then
we buy the wagons paying all the
freights, costs and profits. 1t is GER
tainly poor economy, but so long as
people will do business in that way, II
pays them to get the best article they
can, and Hotel. Smith & Co. have
