Whilst we have too much confidence in the wisdom and commen humanity of Congress to apprehend , that they will impose such a curse upon the citi- zens of Washington again, we are not willing that the common ‘sound judgment and de- cency of our bie citizens should be outraged and misrepresented by a few political fossils, male and female fanatics, communists, and a pestiferous individual who rails against axes, because it is the only debt that he can be made to pay.

He was arrested on September 26, 1879. “1 thought his mental condition was a8 sound as ty own, if that fs a fair criterion,” said the witness. “I saw no signs of insanity during the eight weeks he was poet adjutant. before bis arrest. He did not periorm properly all the duties of his office, He was from time to time absent when he should have been eae He was put under arrest by Colonel Wilder in. my absence.

He saw bim also on the day of his return to the post when he was first arrested and found his health and physical condition good.

A CLEVEL MINISTER’S WooINs.—The con- eregation of the Woodland Avenue Presbyterjan Church in Cleveland, Ohio, are exercised over the extraordinary mode of courtship adopted by their pastor, the Rev. S. Blake. He is some- what advanced in years, and has been twice a widower, but has no children to interfere with No. 3. During the revival last fall Mr Blake took an active part with Moody and Sankey, and his zeal and energy have resulted In over @ hundred members being added to the fold. He , Of Course, the object of the immediate and tender solicitude of the mothers in Israel who had marriageable daughters, and their jealous Watchiulness over his temporal interests has given rise to the present agitation. He was very much impressed with the appearance of Miss Blood, a young lady just out of her teens, who has entered the normal schools to fit _herseif to become a teacher. She attended Mr. Blake's church, and he became assiduous in his atten- tions. Butit is his actionsin the pulpit that have occasioned a scandal. His members claim that he has been observed during his sermons to press his hand upon his heart and direct his eyes with unmistakable meaning toward his fair parishoner. During the delivery of a lec- vure it fs said that he directed his entire atten- on to the young lady, while she was_ observed throwing him little kisses with her finger-tips from the convenient, though ineffective, con- cealment of a fur muff. She has also visited him while he was sick at the rectory; and the deacons, after a consultation, have determined to give the pastor a vacation of two weeks, in order that he may visit St. Louis and receive fresh inspiration from Brother Moody. Z THE WEAVERSVILLE (VA.) SHOOTING CASB.— Mention was made in Monday evening’s Gazette of an affray between two men—one white and the other colored—in Fauquier, in which the lat- ter was seriously hurt. The true facts of the case are as follows: Near Weaversville there fs an Englishman named James Clough, who has vned and worked a farm for some twenty years past. He is an old man, between 60 and 70 years. He has always borne an excellent character among his neighbors as an honest, industrious man. He nas employed for the past year Willis Hart, a colored man, about 24 years old, and un- lartied. Last Sunday evening Willis Hart was riding a horse, accompanied by his brother, on foot; rode in the yard and up to the door, and called Clough out. It seems that he owed Hart $46 for hire, and he demanded his pay. Clough told him that he had no money, but would pay iim the first chance. Hart responded that he would have it now. He was ordered off the premises by Clough, but refused; dismounted and drew his pistol, one of the cheap revolvers, carrying a ball about the size ofa pea, As he put bis hand tm his pocket, Clough also drew, but Hart fired the first shot, the bullet striking Clough in the side; but not penetrati to the body. Clough then drew the rof his army Colt, and the ball struck Hart above the collar bone, and came out under his right arm. As Hart staggered back he fired his second shot and it struck Clough in the breast, but did not penetrate, Hearing the firing, Clough’s son came running out with a shotgun, but Hart's brother: Fa eo it, and, during the struggle, it went off. ‘The parties now’ separat on Tuesday morning Clough was taken to Warren- ton and lodged In jail. He wiil be tried on the sth of next month before Justice Redd, to see whether or not he shall be bailed.

ANOTHER LYNCHING CASE IN VIRGINIA—Mis- c:genation the Cause.—A Richmond dispatch to the New York Heraid gives the particulars of a case of lynching for miscegenation in Franklin county, Va. From this dispatch it seems that a colored man of bad character named Richard Woods, had deserted his wife and children and was living with a white woman named Nancy Williams, the mother of two illegitimate ghii- dren. Last Monday night a party of men Went to Nancy Williams’ house, and after much troubie effected an entrance. After searching tor some time Woods was found under the floor cf the cabin, where he had concealed himselt. Woods and the woman were then bound to- ‘therand driven a considerable distance, the iynchers following with drawn pistols. When they arrived at a lonely point in the road the prisoners were halted and the negro Woods was ordered to strip. He partially undressed himself, and requested one of the mob to un- button his shirt as he could not reach the but- ton behind him, owing to one of his hands be- ing tied to the Woman. This request was re- garded by the man to whom it was addressed as am Insult, for he instantly knocked the negro down, and he was set upon by several of the gang and severely beaten. The unfortunate hegro, rendered desperate, at this critical junc- ture made a break from his custodians and ran, but fell from exhaustion and terror before he had gone very f: He was closely pursued by the mob, who, as soon as they came up, shot him several times and killed him.
