a LONG SENTENCE

From the Louisville COurer-Journal.
A dispatch from Memphis, Tenn.
says that the conviction last week
by the Supreme Court of George
MillingtOn tor murder IN the second
degree, ard his sentence to fifteen
years in the penitentiary, is the
first instance since the war IN that
State of the punishment Of a rich
man for felony. MilIington is CON
nected with the Bolton and Dick
ems families, between whom there
has been a feud for nearly twenty
years, first one and then another
falling by bullet or knife, until
there are but two or three male
members of either family left. Mil
lington, who is civil engineer, and
is from Virginia, married ono of
Wade Bottoms daughters, and,
though quiet and inotiensiye be.
tore, seemed to have imbibed some
of the passion for killing which
af1licts the entire connection. He
had a quarrel about six months ago
with Tom Kennedy, at MlllingtOn
station, near Memphis. and going
to the place about week afterward,
armed with gun, he found Ken.
nedy sitting on porch, and shot
him dead. He was defended by
three Of the ablest lawyers in the
State, and spent many thousand
dollars to secure acquittaI. Short

by a guard to the penitentiary.

THE VIRGINIA DELEGATION,
New York Mail and Express.


There will be very few prellmi.
nary contests at the Chicago con.
vention over the admission of dele.
gates. In most Of the states there
has been entire harmony in choOs.
ing the party representatives at
Chicago. In one state, however,
and that an important one, there
will be contest. We refer, of
course, to Virginia. The history
of the Republican party in Vir-
ginia for eight years past has been
a stormy one. Often it has come
very near to victory, and there is
scarcely room for doubt, that if the
party were thoroughly united and
capable of acting together in per.
feet harmony, success is sure in
the coming campaign.
The Republican party is not one
to be "run," for any length of time,
by local chooses" The experience
OF various party leaders that might
be mentioned, proves this conclu.
siyely. But in Virginia, one man
has asplred to boss the party in a
more offensive and dictatorial man.
ner than has been characteristic of
any other leader in any state. Sen
atOr Malone has set up his will as
the will of the party and has
threatened it with ruin if it does
not follow his every behest. His
latest performance is characters.
TIC. He "set up" a delegation to
the Chicago convention which rep.
resented, not the freely and fully
expressed, will of the Repub.
ican voters of Virginia, but
his own private and personal views.
This delegation large portion of
the state convention refused to en-
dorse. They resented the applica-
ton of the unit rule, aud resolved |
to send to Chicago a delegation
that would fairly express the wishes !
OF Virginia Republicans. The re-
suit IS that one delegation seek adj.
as Mabone's men; ana the
other, as the representatives OF the
Republican voters Of Virginia.
1t is hardly doubtful which dele
CATION will be admitted to the con.
yentlon; and it is not at all doubt.
ful which should be admitted.
The convention can afford to dis.
regard Mahone's threats. The Re-
publican party. in Virginia and
elsewhere, can get along much bet
ter without him than with him, so
ong as he aspires and attempts to
DO a dictator in his own state. If
nc wants to work in harmony with
other leaders, there is a place for
lim; but the Republican party in
Virginia has no mind TO continue
playing the role OF Sinbad, with
Malone as the Old Man OF the
Sea.

A Perfectly Credible Story,
[From Ihe Chleago News.l

While the National Convention
was in session at st. Louis yester.
day, there was a curious interrup.
tlon to the proceedings. Sudden
ly, without any apparent cause, all
the delegates were seized with a
TT of sueezing. Immediately Mr..
Scott telegraphed the following
question to Washington: "What
is the President doing ~ Soon he
received from Secretary Lamont
the following reply: "The Presi.
dent has just taken a pinch of
snuff to relieve cold in his head"
When Mr.. Scott had read the mes.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION
[Washington snnday Gazette. ]

Washington Sunday Gazette.l
The Democratic clans have had
their gathering, done their work,
and like Phoebe Carey's Injuns,
shave folded their blankets, and
silently cut and run" They have
put up a strong ticket, they
have tried to wed the "Mugwump'
and the "unterrifed" Democrat,
they displayed remarkable en-
thusiasm, and capped the climax
by placing extreme free traders
upon a platform both whose legs
are badly dislocated in the attempt
to straddle free trade and protection
at the same time. There is a great
amount of dissatisfaction with the
platform and not little with the
ticket among the rank and file OF
Democracy, but let no Republican
be deceived thereby. Democrats
wrangle and scOld and swear like
drunken fshwomen at Billings.
gate before the election, but
on election day they go to the
polls as one man, vote early, and
invariably as often as they can,
and do all in their power to elect
their candidates. They do not
know any such thing as scratching.
They vote the ticket, the whole
ticket, and nothing hut the ticket.
They stand up to the rack, fodder
or no fodder, and it requires a
workman at a hug to take their
political measure on the ground
They may quarrel as much as they
like but that doesn't have any
effect on their voting. AS the late
Silas Wright once coarsely but
truly said "The quarrels of Demo-
Gratis only produce more Demo-
Gratis, as the fighting of cats only
ends in increasing the number OF
cats.D Every Democrat will vote
the st. Louis ticket.
But there is a large majority of
the voters of this country which is
not attached to the Democratic
party. These men are intelligent
and think for themselves. The
platform of the st. Louis conven-
ton disgusts them. 1t is fraud
on It's face. 1t halloos with pro-
lection and runs with tree trade
It is the most disingenuOus plat
form eyer put forth by the Democ'
racy. 1t is like ferry boat, made
to run from either side without
effort, according to the Will or
within of captain and crew. Such
a platform is no declaration of
principles. 1t is merely a sign
board to indicate the want of
principles.
The country Is in no good mood
for such trifling. There is too
much at stake. The vast business
interests of the country are on the
eve of grave disaster. Trouble of
the worst kind threatens. 1t does
not matter that the Democratic
ticket is a good one. 1t Is freely
to be conceded that personally
Mr.. Cleveland is both a strong and
a good man, while everybody in
the country respects Mr.. Thurman.
1t is not a question so much of men
as of principles. Surely then, with
an acceptable ticket on the plat
form of protection the Chicago
convention should win in the COM
ing campaign.

The Inter Dream has a lot of let.

handsomely in long walking
matches on the art of walking well.
What they mean is walking fast
and keeping at it for a great while.
But the art that is required is the
art OF walking gracefully and beau
tifully, and the gIrls need it more
than the young men. Go out in
our most crowded street, when il is
most Respondent with youth and
beauty, and you will hardly see "A
girl who walks with distinction and
dignity. They turn their toes in
or they move with a jerk OF the
hips, or they set one foot down i'm

1t is all the reverse OF art and the
opposite of beauty. 1t should be

rouse enthusiastic sentiment, but
the other illustrates substantial re-.
suits.
congressman Henderson and
Gear, of Iowa, left this city for
Chicago on Saturday night last, to
make arrangements for the coming
Convention.
But little business of Importance
was transacted By Congress last
week, owing to the large number
of absentees who were attending
the st. Louis Convention.
Gen. Zachary Taylor is to have
a $4,000 equestrian statue in this
city. He was President, you re-
member, from 1915 to 1S49.
The President has approved the
act of Congress providing that
pensions heretofore or hereafter
granted to widows Of soldiers of
the war of the rebellion shall COM
mence at the date Of their hus-
bands death. This law applies to
all widows claims which have been
fled since July LIST, 1880, but not
TO those fled previous to that time.
Notice has been given by the
Pension Office that in the settle
ment under this law of claims al
ready allowed no formal applica-
ton will be required, and the
services of attorneys will not be
necessary. Widows entitled to
back pension need only write a
letter giving name, pOst-Office adj
dress, and the number of the GER
tlficate now held by them, and the
claim will be allowed with as little
delay as possible.
Grave fears are entertained
among the Republican leaders
here tina { the Chicago Convention
will result in a deadlock between
three or four of the most prominent
candidates. From all the informa.

Mr.. Sherman will have the lead

THE VIRGINIA BONDS.
JUDGE KEITH MAKES AN IMPORT
ANT DECISION IN REGARD TO
THEM,
National Republican. |

lNNNiphoA ANoBhnAiNoh'
In the circuit court at Alexan.
dria yesterday Judge Keith allowed
Judgment for the state to be enter
ed in over 100 cases where coupons
were rendered for taxes. The bond
holders, who were represented by
Mr.. S. Ferguson Beach, attempted
the same dodge which they have
successfully worked on several Oc.
casions in other courts, that OF prov.
ing all coupons rendered declared
genuine by simply the production
fof one bond, but Judge Keith ruled
tn at the coupons must be verified
in each case separately, and that
the bonds from which the coupons
we're clipped must be produced in
every case. This took the wind
ont of the bOndholders' sails, as
they had no bonds in court with
which to comply with this con-
struction of the law, and Judgment
was entered up as each case was
called. There are about 300 more
cases to be called today, which will
90 the same way unless the coupons
are verified. A new and interest
ing point was introduced by the
commonwealth in the trial of these
cases which will affect directly
many large taxpayers who own
their own bonds and have rendered
coupons, and who have rested easy
upon the idea that they were safe
from harm. The point was to the
effect that any taxpayer, seven
though he produce the bond from
which the coupons were clipped"
who has rendered coupons for 9th
or than his own Indebtedness, dd
iumpuS, has thereby inYalidated
his own tender and stands in debt
to the state. Judge Keith held the
point good, and several, though
they we're present in court with the
bonds ready to verify the coupons,
we're compelled to suffer judgment
to be entered against them, as they
rendered for the Indebtedness of
others in connection with their own.
Judge Keith's decision on this point
is said by members OF the bar to be
perfectly correct and in accordance
with the law governing tenders.
