TIE Boswells are vel known and
have made their max in the literary
world. The death Of Sr Alexander
Boswell. son of Jobnson's biJgfapher,
ubo WAS killed IN a duel with james
Stuart, of Duncan on the Goth Of
March, 1s22, was deeply lamented by
he country. To him Ayrshire owes
chiefly the monument to Burns on the
banks Of the Doom, for to him Burns
was a congenial spirit, and many of his

means Of it the world has been favored
with transcripts OF some Of the rare
tracts contained in his library. 1t is
curious to note that the first Boswell
of Auchinleck was OF the stock of Bal
muto, in Fife, and it was in Flfeshire
that the duel was fought which proved
fatal to a man in all respects the supe-
rior of Stuart of Dunesrn. 1t would
be Of no use now to Iecapitulate the
circumstances which gave rise to this
duel. but we may remark that in spite
Of all that was said by Cockburn and
JtfIray at his trial it may be asserted
that James Stuart Of Dunearn's con-
duct was not, at least, worthy Of admi-
ration. The MSS. of Boswell were
procured by what was little else than
a theft. Borthwick, the partner of
Alexander, had sold his interest in the
Sentinel. and Alexander had the MSS.
in his custody. Borthwick, in the alb
sence Of Alexander, broke open the
desks in the Sentinel Office and carried
the MSS. to Stuart, who thus became
the resetter Of the theft. Boswelrs
MSS, which were thus discovered, led
| to the duel. Then again, how did Stu
art act in respect to Alexander? He
attacked Alexander in the streets of
Edinburgh with a horsewhip while
Stuart's servants held his hands. For
this cowardly Outrage Alexander sent
Stuart challenge, and on his declining

to have given meeting to such man
as Stuart had shown himself to be, but

SCENES IN THE COURT ROOM-THE DE-
MEANOR OF THE PRISONERS AND THEIR
FRIENDs-BREATHLEs INTEREST IN
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THE
VERDICT. .
People tried to get into the Criminal
Courtroom at Chicago last Friday morn
ing as early as O'Clock, and the first ap.
plicant was woman. who became very
angry when refused admission. She ap-
pealed to every one of the forty officers
gathered about, but they were firm in their
refusal. and 500 people who applied be-
tween that time and 9 O'Clock were given
the same answer. Every conceivable ruse
was resorted to. but the officers were mex.
orable, and when the verdict was brought
in there were probably less people in the
court room than at any time during the
trial.
The crowd outside numbered about one
thousand people, and these were kept in
formed of the progress inside by the police,
Some of the people succeeded in getting
up stairs and took seats at the west end
of the room, where were Mrs. Spies, Mrs.
Parsons, N eebes' wife. Lingg s sweetheart.
August Spies sister and his brother Fer
dinand, Mrs. Ames, Gen. Parsons. Spi ss'
mother, and half dozen others, who have

ed, and the Judge sang out to the specta-
tors to take seats and not to make any
demonstration. The prisoners was brought
in and arranged along the south wall by
the windows. The Judge then turned and
told the clerk to call the names Of the jury.
This was done amid oppressive silence.
The man Neebe, was probably the
most affected OF the prisoners. Neebe
turned and looked across the room to the
place where his wife was sitting He cram
ed his neck forward and said something
in an undertone to himself. Parsons look.

brother, the general, was standing. He
turned and looked into the street where.

and women gazed anxiously at the upper
windows. Parsons gazed hurriedly around,

ana rs -une vlNDIoAiois says slls.. = platform
was adopted, lat Lexington] will it
kindly inform us how it likes that
platform as compared to the Wythe-
Vile platform? and, also, what that platform
contemplates regarding those three vial quesl
tons, the tariff, the Blair bill. and the inter
nal revenue? We should like to have an honest,
unequivocal answer.-High5aaad Recorder.
We like the Wytheville platform better
because it calls names and goes straight
to the point. The platform adopted by
the Lexington Democratic Convention,
contemplates the hearty support OF the
Blair bill, protection for every thing that
lies under the soil of Virginia and of the
labor used on it when it comes out of the
ground, and the abolition of the internal
revenue. 1t means that when the tariff is
revised. as has been promised by both the
Republican and Democratic parties of the
Union in opposition to fostering monopo-
lies, then the main business of a Demo
cratic congressman from Virginia is to get
in the new tariff all the protection that
Virginia interests and workingmen. can
get. And that is the platform of the DEM
ocratic nominee of this district. This an
swer we assure our contemporary is both
honest and unequivocal. 1t would be a
good platform for the Republican Congress
sional nominating convention to adopt at
Staunton in opposition to the free trade
views of Schurz, Evarts, the N. Y. Times,
the N. z Euenimg Post, the Nation and
other eminent free trade authorities in it's
own party.

The Baltimore s.Sun" of Saturday says
that the wheat exports from Baltimore so
far this month, the first of the new crop
year, have been encouraging, and the
grain-dealers are doing good trade. For
The week ended on Thursday the exports
included 752.715 bushels of wheat and
30,679 barrels of -four. The wheat season
opens with bright prospect for trade at
chat point, and the volume will continue
good for some time to come. The outlook
is the BEST the Baltimore grain men have
seen for long time. The railroad yards
are full of arrived and departing Western
freight, and the long trains of loaded cars
are moving day and night. 1t is said the
demands for rolling stock to accommodate
the business are crowding the Balti.
more 81 Ohio railroad shops with work.
More men are being put to work every day
st Mt. Glare, Locust Point. and elsewhere
along the line. It locks as if the foreign
export trade from that port and the home
business demands are giving the Balti-
more railroads about as much traffic as
they can handle just now.

POLITICAL NOTES.

It is now stated with apparent certain
ty that Gen. John E. Roller, of Rocking
ham. will run against Col. O'Ferrall. as
an independent Democrat. He has made
no announcement of the fact himself.
Gen. Brady of the Petersburg district
has issued an address declining to be a
candidate for denomination. This pretty
we'll settles the matter that Gen. Malone
is to run in that district.
Hon. Samuel ]. Randall, by invitation,
addressed the Irish National League now
in session at Chicago. His appearance
was welcomed with enthusiastic shouts.
The Democrats of Pennsylvania have
nominated for Governor Chauncey For
ward Black, son of the late Jerry S.
Black. He is at present 1t. Governor of

Black Democratic ticket was elected the

Capt. j. A. Potts, of King George coun-
ty, Va, who was delegate to the Alex

From the first Virginia district it is
learned that Mr.. T. Spcer Curlett expects
to get the Republican nomination for
Congress in that district, though Col.
Mayo and Messrs. Mcdonald, White, and
others are working for it.
