STARTED FOR BLOOD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July S.-Chas,
Porterfield, one of the most popular
young men of Charlestown, Jefferson
county, and Charles Morton, OF
Richmond, who were arrested here
yesterday while preparing to 60 to
Virginia for the purpose of fighting
a duel with pistols, have amicably
arranged their difference, and left
Washington with their seconds to-
day.
George Washington, of Charles
town, and a great nephew of the
Father Of his Country, was to have
been Porterfeld's second, and Major
Daniels would have performed that
service for Morton. Owing to a
technicality in the law the parties
were dismissed to-day in the police
court.
The causeof the quarrel which led
to the meeting was an insulting
letter written to Porterfeld's father
by Morton, in which the latter
accused the former of intercepting
letters he had written Porterfeld's
daughter.
Mr.. @. B. Butcher, also Of West
Virginia, was to have been master
of ceremonies at the duel, and made
all the arrangements for the meeting.
He accompanied the two chivalrous
gentlemen from the city this after
noon.
The West Virginia colony here is
very much excited over the sensa-
tional developments in the case.

SICK OF HIS OWN MEDICINE.

We hear good deal every once
in a while about not encoura ging
home enterprise, and charges of OPP
position to it are even made, and
that gratuitously, generally by those
who themselves are not able to pay
for single share of stock in any.
thing, and have none unless they
get free stock for imaginary services
or take it out in trade. We have
time and again shown cause why all
our projected enterprises fail and
why many of those who have money
hesitate to invest for want of conf.
dence. In speaking with some of
those actively engaged in starting
manufactures, this trouble was adj.
mltted and acknowledged. That we
have means and facilities here for ell.
terprise, there is no doubt, and it is
proven by the successful business
established by individuals without
soliciting stock of anybody. Such
men as Messrs. Hughes, Parks,
Frazer, Bishop, Farrin, Bowers,
Fitz, Shaffer, and dozens OF others
whom we could mention, employ
hands and conduct prosperous bust.
ness on their own merits without APP
pealing to the public for subscrip.
lions. Stock companies are desir-
able and have advantages over in
dividuals, when properly managed.
For twenty years nothing has been
attempted IN Martinsburg IN the
way of public enterprise but what
single Objectionable individual was
at the head. Did he ever start any
private enterprise on his own brain
and money account? Not one.
But he Was after patronage and he
got it, even when all others lost.
That Is what people are learning to
Judge public spirit by. Many re.
member the abuse and opposition to
men, some of whom are not here
now, because they were in his way.
politically or in civil matters they
were pursued with vengeance.
People remember these things; the
little respect they received or rights
they had, when a few unprincipled
men could run the community. Times
are changing, people are changing.
and men and enterprise have to
stand on their merits. The public
is willing to encourage any business
project that gives promise of help
ing the town, and in no way can
public confidence be quicker gained
than by discretion in the selection
OF managing and presiding officers.
What use to invite failure and dis.
