THEY DO NOT SLEEP TOGETHER, To the Editor of Tux Evexixe Star. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. 1883. Please inform the public that if, from any rumor or recent event, unnecessary to enlarge upon here, the Impression has gone abroad that Col. Jno. 8. | Mosby ts friendly to Gen. Mahone, the impression carries a falsehood. As the brother-in-law of Col. Mosby I know and desire to say that for two or three years he has been writing from Hong Kong invective such as might be expected from one whcs? native state has been made the scene of a bacchanal and her honor-bartered away. I went Wedaesday evening with his young son to say to G n. Mahone that whatever was done that looked like compromise was done without Col. Mosby’s knowledge and ¢g.inst his wishes. Hoping other ings, We was mad. While this 1s not my con- e, as Sir Luctus O'Trigger said, to see trying to explain it,” for 1t seems to me “the quarrel isa very pretty quarrel as it stands.” CHARLES WELLS RUSSELL. —>__.

THE Fist WHARF DEAD-LOCK.—T here fs a dead- lock between the upper and the lower boards of the clty council respecting the method of man- aging the corporation fish wharf. The aldermen are unanimously in favor of p!acing Officer W. W. Rock in charge, and managing the wharf and recelving the wharfage directly for the city. It is contended that this method will avoid all trouble about fish offal, handling fish, &., and will be more profitable to the city’ than the method of leasing the wharf at public auction, which has been the custom here since the open- ing of the century, and ts followed in Washington and in Georgetown. In consequence of this dis- agreement the committee on public property have not yet fixed a day for the public renting of the fish wharf. The lease of Mr. 8. J. Reed, the present lessee, expires Upon the ist of March next. MIDLAND R. R.
