cial)-Your correspondent has Just learned

woman in the vicinity Of Pound Gap,
where the Mullins family was murdered
I'M the spring Of 1se2. This woman was the
widow of Wilson Mullins, one Of the MUIR
dered persons Of that family. The report
saws that she was walking about the
premises of her home. and was shot by
some one secreted In the brush some
distance from the house. ana circum-
stances point to Fleming as the perpetrar
tor OF the foul crime. The supposed motive
is that as Mrs. Mullins was the material
witness in the case against Keenan, Flem-
ing she was killed to destroy the evil
dence against him.
IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS.

This seems to be the Dispatches idea
party. With It, whatever the party au-
thcritiea do IL right, never mind what
th.t may be. II the authorities OF the
Democratic party should publish high
ly-laudatory biography OF Judas 1scariot,
we should expect the Dispatch TO COM
mend Il al good precept for all Demo-
crats.--The Richmond Times.
IL the authorities OF the Democratic
party. 70 which the Times give Its I'M
reserved support until four months ago,
should publish a highly.iaudatory biogra-
ply OF Judas Iscariot. the Dispatch would
unquestionabiy commend II up to the
time OF the betrayal. From that eepoch'
the Times, notwithstanding all OF Its r.
cent Inconsistencies could at last be per-
fectiy consistent and commend the life
of the betrayer.-Dispatch Of the 18th.
IL the foregoing means anything at
all, II means that the Times Is now play
ing the same part towards the Demo-
cratic party that Judas Iscariot played
towards our Lord and Master. We under
stand this to be the meaning and accept
II as such.
WIN the Dispatch now oblige the Times
by stating what part OF Its course OF
conduct amounts to betrayal OF the
Democratic party?-The Richmond Times
A Democratic stumper repeated In this
city a few years ago In admirable style
the story OF the bull that had got after
a powerful fellow. who grabbed 1t by the
tail and began to twist the tan most
mercilessly and soon had the bull below
ing in fine style. "Oh yes" cried out 'he
sturdy fellow. "bellow a. much as you
please; who began this row.
So we say to the Times. We are not re-
sponsible for introducing Judas 1scariot

That Habeas-Corpus Case.

Argument on the application for a writ
OF habeas corpus in the case or Lizzie
Walton, the woman who is in the Henrico
county Jail charged with the murder OF
Solomon Benjamin jenkins. was post
poned until 2 O'Clock this afternoon. The
continuance was necessary on account
OF the fact that the County Court was
engaged all day yesterday In hearing two
small cases which had been set previous
to the habeas-corp arrangements.
Lizzie's lawyers Messrs. Pollard ana
Mosby. assert that they are confident
that they can show that there are no
reasons why the alleged murderess should
not be admitted to bail, while Common
weaIth's-Attorney Sands thinks lie has
evidence which viii justify the Judge in
refusing to allow the release OF the wo-
man on bail.
A great deal Of important testimony In
the case will be heard this afternoon.

Acts of the Executive.

The Governor yesterday declined 10
grant the application Of a lady to be a

is. as contemplated in the law.
