THIS contrasts most favorably with the
washington Republicans denunciation OF
General ALsERr SIDNEY JOHNSON. Inc
Republican recently said:
.. To yeueratc the memory Of Albcrtsid.

crir;nste along with him all who DO H.

conptry. because. unlike him. they are IN

ton in regard 10 the character oil the men
who died for the cause OF the South The
latter comes from a paper puoilsheo IN
si1bt Of Arlington. the horne OF General
LEE. and not far from Mount Vernon.

himself.
viii General MALONE and Mr.. RIDDLE
psRaER withdraw their recommendations
o. the Republican? Their friends claim
that those recommendations were written
long before the Republican said what it did
about ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSON, and that
therefore General MALONE and Mr.. RID
DLEnERCER are not responsible for their
organs language. Very well. The plea
is n good one if those senator's eih noo
come oat and uithdrdT their certificates Of
recommendation, and dcnouRce the an
quaqe Of the Republican. win they do so!
II not. they need expect 10 other sort OF
denial to avail.
The Alexandria Gazette has hunted up
the certificates. They are as they follow:
PETERSBURG, Va, January 4, 1882.
Dear Mr.. Kilbourn,-lt gives me pleas
ure to commend the National Republican,
so wei and ably edited. TO the earnest
friendship OF those who would uphold the
Constitution and the laws, discourage sec
tional lines and class legislation, foster pub
lie education and respect the rights and
care fof the proper interests OF all the peo-
pie of a common country. Yours truly,
WILLIAM MALONE.
The Weekly National Republican is just
what is needed in the South. Independent
Democrats who refuse to act with the Bouir-
bon organizations VIII lind it, as the Nir-
ginia Rcidjusters have, a fearless, ont
spoken, and judicious promoter OF haI-
mony and cooperation Of all the anti-Bour-
bon clements at the South. Iwish success.

discourage sectional lines! That
reads well in view of the Repubticdn's de-
nunciation Of the great hero and general
ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSON. ga iudicious
promoter Of harmony" indeed! Now, let
RrppIEBERGER and MALONE speak out.
They did not hesitate to recommend the
Republican. Let them be as quick to de-

EOAD y HER BODY CAST INTO 4 BRANCH
TIE MURDERER AROBBER AS WELL.
fCharlotte Journal-Obscryer.l
One OF the most brutal murders on record
was committed Yesterday morning near
China Grove, on the public road, almost in
sight Of the village. 4 cOlOrcd woman
named Mag Partec, who washed for Mr..
Thomas, the agent OF the Richmond and
Danville depot at China Grove, while on
her way TO the station, carrying some
clothes for Mr.. Thomas, was waylaid and
murdered by some party or parties un-
known. Shortly after the murder was COM
mitted her body was found by some passers-
by lying partly in a branch. From her
crushed and battered head the blood was
still flowing, ming,ing with the water and
dyeing the stream crimson hue. Life had
been extinct but 4 short time, as the body
was found to be still warm. 1t did not re-
quire Il close examination to see that all the
left side OF her head had been crushed in,
evidently with a club or some other blunt
weapon. The clothing OF Mr.. Thomas,
which the woman was carrying at the
time she was murdered. could not be
found, and it is supposed that the party
who murdered her took the clothes and es-
capped with them. The scene Of the
murder is just a short distance from
the depot, but in rather secluded locality.
The murdered woman bore a good charac-
ter, and her tragic death has caused a great
waive Of excitement to sweep over China
Grove and the neighboring country. White
and colored men put ont at once in search
Of the murderer, who could not, on account
OF the early discovery Of the deed, have
had much the start OF his pursuers. a
messenger was sent to Salisbury TO notify
the coroner, and an inquest will be held.

FINE ART IN THE BoUEDLEss WEST
Miss Honora Daubigne has just completed
portrait Of her father IN oil It would
have looked more like the old gentleman,
and would have smelled infinitely more
like him, had she worked the portrait in
whisky. Still, as q work of art it is a
very valuable painting; thirteen dollars
worth of tube colors were used in its con-
struction, and the frame alone cost forty
five dollars. The hair wart on Mr.. Daub-
igne's cheek is omitted in the portrait, and
the right ear, which was bit off in fight
down at the red bridge ten years ago, has
been restored by the magical touch OF the
accomplished artist, The nose of the
subject also has been toned down, being
treated in pale lakes instead of yermillion.
To get at the true soulfulness, the tout en-
semble, the immortal intellectual chiaro.
oscuro of Mr.. Daubigne's nose it would
have to be treated in the lake Of birthstone,
il there ia such q color. As work of art,
however, the portrait is one of which our
city may well be proud. 1t can be recog.
nized by a glance at the name of the sub
ject, which WAS neatly lettered on the frame
by Steplsdder. the sign.painter. IL lHark.

fishing. The next day he went to the club
and took a striped bass of eighty pounds,
the largest captured this year. The Presi-
dent should now try for the sea serpent
West Island.
This has been an unusually poor year for
sport in the Western States at prairie
chicken shooting, and is even said to be
the poorest ever known. The american
Field claims that the cause is to be found
in the too early open season, which, it as
serts, should be at least two weeks later.
1t says "The date should be changed to
September lst, and the law vigorously en-.
forced. A bird has not now the slightest
chance before an even ordinary shot, es-
specially with the heavy guns and large
charges which are usually used. The gun,
therefore, must be handicapped by making
the season close until the birds have grown
sufficiently large and strong to give them
a chance for their lives. The time has
come when shooting should become a
question of skill, and not mere slaughter.
Then will the sportsman find more real
pleasure in q bag of a dozen or fifteen
skillfully killed than in one three or four
times the number which have been
murdered. The more difficult the
sportsman makes his shooting, the
more pleasure he will derive from it. y
This Is probably correct as to cause, and
the plea for the adoption of such guns
and rules as will require better skill IN
place of the present frequent method OF
numbering with two-inch blunderbusses, is
in the direction we have heretofore urged.
and which is eminently sensible.

reports of an abundant quail supply. The
birds appear to have nested well. In many
localities, on account of the drought, they
have retired from their usual haunts to the
denser woods, but though the birds them
selves are not seen, their whistling is heard,
and that is sufficient promise. The ruffed
grouse are generally in good supply. al
though on certain grounds, where they
have been plenty of late years, none are
found this fall. The periodical disappear
ance of the ruffed grouse is topic OF much
animated discussion. Many theories are
advanced to account for the fuctua'
tions, but though some of these
are plausible, none of them appear
to us wholly satisfactory. We have
noted the facts for forty years, but an ex
PLANTATION of them is yet to be found. In
a certain locality where the birds have beer
abundant, the supply will begin to de
crease, and in three or four years the game
will have become almost extinct
Then the number will gradually in
crease, and in time the shooting will b'
good. We have heard of no specially re-
markable woodcock shooting this season
The dry weather has driven those long
billed favorites into closest cover, and they
have been difficult of discovery and ap
proach. As noted in former issue, tn,
shore bird shooting has practically amount
ed to nothing. Forest and Stream.
