Probably there never occurred IN this
state an event more narrowing IN its
details than that which has recently
raised Brownsburg. in Rockbridge
county. to such lamentable distinction
If anything was wanting to give the
last touch Of inexpressible horror to the
tragedy there enacted. it was added in
the pistol shot that laid Mrs. Walker
dead az the side of her expiring husband
to whom she was applying. in the midst
of tue confusion and turmoil that sur
rounded her. the tender ILLUSTRATIONS Of
a faithful wife and woman. Could there
be more frightfuI commentary upon the
evil that results from giving an un'
brldled rein to unlawful passion. The
act Of the older Miller led TO his murder
by DR.. Walker who. in turn. was de-
liberately shot by the younger Millers,
one of whom was fatally wounded IN
,ho aifray. The diaboical homicide Of
Mrs. Walker by James Miller surpasses
the bounds of credence. and in justice
to human nature we can only suppose
that it was committed in = moment Of
uncomfortable frenzy.
Here are four homicides all directly
following from the act of one man.
While we have tho most unaffected
sympathy for the feelings that infiu
enced DR.. Walker under the peculiar
ly aggravating circumstances in which
he was placed by the gross insult to his
wife. yet lesson is to be drawn from
his conduct and its fatal consequences
which may well impress itself upon all
who are prompt TO take the law in
their own hands when they have a
ground for personal resentment 10 salts
fy. A. soon az Mrs. Walker revealed
TO her husband what ha taken place.
the subsequent tragedy was to be ex
pected. for the spirit that led DR..
Walker to attack the senior Miller led
his sons to defend their father little as
he really deserved it. Every element
thus met to create terrible explosion.
aud in the very midst of it the limo
cent cause. Mrs. Walker, persisted by
the pitiless hand of the assassin.
We are not surprised that public SEN
timent should be profoundly stirred III
Rockbridge by the occurrence Of SC
awful tragedy in its confines. We
earnestly trust that the frghtful con
sequences of disregard of moral de-
cency in the first instance. and vi9s
lent assumption of the right to mSN
out sanguinary punishment in defiah&e:
of law in the second instapce, wSfA
make a lasting impression that %Aa
prevent the recurrence of siml3x51
event in this State at any time in IS Z

Since the happy result Of the recent
struggle relieves the public mind from
painful pressure. it is well for us 10
see the way TO so range our party lines
that we may restore the Democratic
party to national power in lss2.
The first thing is to recognize the
clear aud trenchant fact that national
contest shouIi not be fought on a local
issue but on national one, and to this
end. the point of wisdom and patriot
ism isto bring the Democratic party in
line on its national principles of tariff
taxation for revenue. as opposed to the
Republican idea Of taxation FOR the
protection Of few monopolists on the
worst fallacy of class legislation.
The people arc rapidly beng enlight-
ened "a to the gigantic fraud upon
which the Republican party rests. ard
in two years they will know enough OF
what we may call high tax politics TO
omen their heretofore bandaged eyes.
There cannot now be a doubt OF the
result in our faver unless we barricade
our own march with that same local
issue upon which the last national cleo
ton was won by the Radicals.
As soon as the intense fires OF war
were cooled the popular sentiment dis
played instructive dislike for the Repub-
lican party as 1t had done years before
for the Federal party, It's sponsor and
godfathers.
But in the flush Of victory the South
ern leaders unfortunately advanced the
idea that as they furnished the vast ma
iority they had a leadership OF the
the Democratic party, and this went on
reducing our power until at last the
policy in the last Democratic House gave
all the important committees to the
South. and put the Southern leaders,
Carlisle and Mill. and others. in com
mand.
We believe that in the light Of the
succeeding events the sweeping success
Of the Republicans victory. and their
present occupancy Of both Houses OF
Congress and the Presidency. IS owing
to that same Southern leadership.
which puts the national fight on
local instead Of national issue.
Now the Southern people evidently
have pointed out to them the fact that
they recognize. and the popular voice
will call for what we have explained
above.
The masses Of the PEOPLE knew that
the Northern Democrats saved them
after the war. and what they aim al
and what they need, is peace and pros
perity.
We need that more than the fostering
of a popular sentiment for personal
politics.
And. therefore. let The true friends Of
Democracy call for the national aud not
the sectional issue.

The tragedy at Lexington. KY. has,
like most other cases Of the sort IN the
South, called forth moral essays from
the Northern press and criticisms on
our civilization. IL is to be remarked
that this duel, as it is called. though
the meeting between the two men was
a chance one. strikes the Northern man
as an illustration OF bad civilization
because men of character and position
were engaged in it.
Yet. acknowledging the.possible rea-
son Of such view, is il not sign oil a
certain lack of civilization when the
daily papers TEEN with lucid accounts
OF divorces in all classes of society.
What makes true civilization will re-
main an open question for philosophers
for a long time. But without defend
ing the duel, il may be said that such an
unfortunate burst of animal passion as
that at Lexington. would not have been
allowed if the two men had submitted
10 the arbitrament of the code.
II is the high christian rule that
should govern all gentlemen, that duel
or a personal war of any kind, is impoi =
sible among honorable men, and it is al =
solLtely true that in the South no man
ever escaped a stigma worse than any
the law could inhlct if he engaged in a
personal fight that he could avoid.
Civilized countries recognize the
"duel" without by any means recog-
nizing such a fight as that at Lexing
ton. and when the duel is farce the
participants get all the rldicule they
deserve. and when il is a tragedy pub
lie opinion calls them to severer trial
than the law.
Q IL is certain that modern manners
and morals are better than IN former
times. and we can only hole that the
spirit Of the times will soon be such
that society Will not recognize man
who is guilty Of a breach Of good man
ners in attempting to wreck a personal
spite by violence.

AMERICANS do not expect for a long
time to see the laws delays expedited
on the beautiful model of France, where
the criminal, after being caught, is put
through the Process Verbal or verbal
examination, and brought to trial as
soon "a the evidence can be all obtained.
But it is gratifying that sometimes. at
least, the law s delay is accompanied by
great care and particularly, aud the
guilty at last brought to punishment.
Such was the case in the Anarchist
trials OF Chicago, that gave not only
this country. but the whole world, a
great lesson 10 teach the difference be-
tween libeuy and license.
And such, il 10 TO be hoped. will be the

WE warmly endorse the pertinent
AMI public spirited editorial reference
in yesterdays State to the illegal OBJ
sruction to the passage Of vehicles and
wa,farers. caused by the disregard on
the part of the Richmond and Ale
ghany Railroad Company Of the city
ordinance, which prescribes the limits
within which they shall have the rig t
to block the crossings at Seventh and
Ninth streets. OF all the privileges ex-
ercised by the railroads within the con-
fines of our corporation. probably none is
a more constant source Of Inconvenience
and annoyance than the right Of the
Richmond and Allegheny to run its
cars across these two thorougbfares ;
one being the principal street leading to
the Union depot. the other TO Manches
ter. Our authorities should see to ii
that this inconvenience and annoyance
are not further increased by violation
of the restrictions laid down in the city
ordinance.

WE have criticised the Australian
ballot system constantly. as 1t has beer
worked in several States as an expert
ment, but without recommending it L.
our own Legislature. The difficult,
that confronts us IN Virginia is purely ,
question of educating the voter to know
what he is casting his vote for.
The mass of ignorant voters VIII
be the first to be benefited by such a
qualification as will give moral aud pa
triotic tone TO the representative legisla
tive power. Labor and capital must b,
brought together by the enterprise OF
that class of men who use each in then
proper spheres, aud get up mercantile
concerns and manufacturing concern.
that pay capital it's interest and labo,
it's wages.
IL great community is handed over
to unprincipled demagogues and ignc-
rant voters. 1t rs quite certain that
American capital and enterprise viii
shun the place.
Everyone knows that between IN,
fortytwo great States OF the Union
there is an interchange Of free trade in
all the elements that constitute modern
business. and we cannot interchange II
we are governed by a mob led by poll

All that Virginia needs il just law
defining the qualifications Of the voter.
and one that the constitution will re
cogn'ze. And this the coming Legisla-
ture should give us.
