SHOT Down IN THE STREET-Yesterday
afternoon, between 5 and o'clock, the
startling report of pistol was heard near
the public square in Charlotte, N. G. A few
moments after, it was discovered that H. C
Long had killed w. F. Cuthbertson, his
father-in-law. This is the result of Cuth.
bertson's threats against the life of Long.
When Long married Miss Cuthbertson, her
father was very much enraged, and at the
time had to be put under bond to keep the
peace. Sunday last Mrs. Cuthbertson went
to see her daugh liter and grandchiId, and when
she returned home her husband nearly
killed her with buggy whip, and
would have shot her if she had not thrown the
cartridges ont of doors before he could load his
pistol Afterwards he sent word to Long that he
intended to kill him and his lLong's) wife. Long
is in Jail. The popular verdict is in favor of
Long, and it is considered clear case of self de-
fence.

EVERY BODY except Gen. Johnston, who
stopped the advance, knows that Washing
ton could have been captured by the Con-
federates Immediately after the first battle
of Manassas. But, according to Secretary
Stantons letter, which Mr.. Kelley read in
the U. S. House of Representatives last
Tuesday, it could have been captured al.
most as easily in the spring OF the succeed
ing year. But the discussion of such things
now is worse than silly; it is almost Grim

that should have no place in the minds and

IT Is reported that Mr.. Manning's letter
resigDing the position of Secretary OF the
Treasury was written by Mr.. Fairchild, the
assistant secretary. No matter who wrote
it, the recommendations it contained for
stopping the coinage of silver and for reduc-
ing tho tariff are eminently wise. The tar
id has closed the markets of the world
against American manufactures, and the
continued coinage of silver has made silver
currency so cheap that the agricultural
products of India can be bought with it at
lower rates than those of this country.

Arrest of Supposed Incendiaries.

CHICAGO, June 1O.-Ever since the Canal
street fire last Monday morning, in which
eight human beings were burned to death.
the police department has had from four to
six detectives stationed in the neighborhood
watching the ruins and examining every
suspicious looking person in the vicinity.
The neighbors have all been questioned as
to their whereabouts on the fatal night, and
all floating rumors have been thoroughly
sifted. Last night the detectives arrested
five men-Andy Kelly, James Donnelly,
Thomas Callipy, Thomas Power, and VIM.
Denver The men were taken to the Hin
man street station and locked up in sepa-
rate cells. None of them arc book ed, tho
officers not deeming it best to make any
charge against them at present. In the
meantime the detectives are looking for
more evidence against them, and the pris-
oners will be kept in confinement until it is
thought best to give them hearing. Kelly
was the FIRST person suspected of having set
fire TO the place, and the detectives were

reason he was suspected was that the owner
of the burned buildings had a serious
