A LAW SUIT AND NOT A DUEL IMPENDING. ‘The position of the principals in the much advertised Wise-Lamb embroglio was made known to THE STAR several days ago, and there is no reason for believing that it will not remairfo the end what it was then represented to be on the very highest authority. The news- paper talk of # hostile meeting between these purtles according to the commonly accepted Tegulations ol the “code,” fy, of course, In view ‘of the length of time which has elapsed since the insulting words were spoken, tosay nothing Of other reasons, the remotest sort of a proba bility. Indeed, on the statement of Mr. wW ise, made tow iriehd during his late visit to this city, there hus never been to his mind but one of two courses tor him. ‘to pursue, “The first of these,” sald Mir. Wise, “when I consider the bru- tality of the language he (Lamb) used, is to shout him without order or method, as I would an outlaw or a wild beast, The other.” he con- Unued, “Is to sue him for the outrageous slan- der he has uttered against me and give to some institution of charity or benevolence the damages, I might recover. By the latter course I would save myself from the crime of killing and at the same time retute in a court of jusuice the truth of his slanderous words. My laclina- tion,” he further snid, “is to arraign Bim in the courts, whereby I will’ contorm to the laws of ny state, and obtain in that way a vindication that none will thereafter dispute. It is likely, therefore, that Mr. Wise will bring an action of slander against Col. Lamb, in which he will allege special and heavy damages to his reputa- tion, standing, etc., growing out of the peculiar nature of Lamb's words. ‘Besides the common law action for defamation of character, Mr. Wise may Join with that under the statute law of Virginia, au action tor insult- ing words, In aid of discouraging dueling and other deadly encounters there ix a statute law of the state which provides that “All words which from their usual construction and com- mon acceptation are construed as insults und tend to violence and breach of peace shall be actionable.” ‘But it was Mr. Wise’s opinion, when here, that Col. Lamb had probably been misled by the 1alsehoods of other persons regarding the matter spoken of here by him and if so that for the insult an ample apology would be offered him, Should Mr. Wise carry out the invention of suing Lamb, the latter may, under the laws of Virginia, either justity himself by prov- ing the truth of the words he 1s charged with uttering or give evidence in mitigation that “he tude Ur ollered to make: an spology to the plaintiff for such detumation betore the com- inencement of the action or as soon afterwards as he bad an opportunity of doing 80, in cuse the ction shall Lave been commenced before there was opportun! making or offe such a) ‘These are the words of the tute in the case. A legal remedy for the al- leged wrong done to Mr. Wise is a new de] ture for the chivalry of the Old Dominion, but there 1s no doubt the public would weleomeé the change and applaud thy determination of Con- gressinan Wise in the matter.

Mr. O'Donobue, who is Mr. Cochran's most particular friend and backer, spake for both, and while Mr. Cochran was out of the Toom fora moment assured the reporter that the new member was going to make his pres- ‘ence felt in the next House, and for one thing ‘he was going to stand up and fight civil service oa Mr. O'Donohue 1s secretary of the Tam- ay executive committee, and a shining ligHt in the society. He was spoken of as their candidate for mayor until the George compli- cation came up. “I knew,” he said, “that George's vote would be large. “They did not think 1t, but [sald it would not be jess than fifty thousand. Iam with democracy against anything, but I am with everything against socialism, 1 am against socialism every time.

"We'll use 4 against him. I tell you, there are 30,000 democrats who voted ior him before who would go to Blaine. Isay there is no use, he cannot throw over the workers and the money.” “I am not a tree trader,” continued Mr, O'Donohue; “I have spent five months abroad, and am convinced that American labor must be protected.” Senator Sherman Talks. PROTECTION ROUND TO HELP THE REPUBLICANS, “The recent elections,” Senator Sherman said in an interview in New York, “nave brought mauy surprises to both parties, but I think, on the Whole, the result has not been unfavorable to the republicans.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY WALKER MAKES AN ADVERSE REPORT. The New York Sun to-day says: United States District Aulorney Walker has reported adversely upon the petition for the pardon of James D. Fish, which was sent to him from Washington several weeks ago. Mr. Walker's reportis a long document and deals largely with the details of the trial. He shows that every opportunity was given Fish to prove his innocence of the charges against him, and this he signally failed to do. “Ir Fish was guilty then, ie {8 no less guilty now. There is no more reason why he should be pardoned on the score of fil health than any other convict similarly situated, Theetfort in fact, would not be made but for the social promineuice which Fish en- joyed. Jie lst ofsigners to the petition for Fish’s rdop is long, and includes nearly naif the nk officers in thecity. ‘The list would make. 4 column of interesting reading. In order that the names may carry their full amount of weight the broad column to the right contains such phrases as “retired trom that busines, but forinerly president” of such and such Banik where the person signing is not an active presi- dent, vice president, or cashier. It is manifest from’ Mr Walker's report that he has been little influenced, if any, by the representations of Dr. Johnson, Fistis family physician, who ex- amined the prisoner at Auburn on Wednesday. Upon this point Mr. Walker has so little to say that the conclusion is natural that he regards {vasa sentimental view of the case and not worthy of Venality in Oftice.

HE SAYS THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TWO MAJORITY ON JOINT BALLOT, AND THAT THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE MEMBER OF THE LEGISLA- TURE 18 ELIGIBLE, “I don’t see how the democrats can be de- prived, by any fair means, of their two major. ity on joint bailot in the Indiana legislature, said Postmaster Dalton, of the House of Rep- resentatives, to a Sak reporter. Mr. Dalton is ‘one of the democratic leaders in Indiana, and he took an active part in the recent campaign. “What are the facts,” inquired THE STAR re- porter, ‘‘in regard to the democratic Justice of the peace who was elected to the legislature?” “The true state of the case,” continued Mr. Dalton, “is this: At our township elections last spring our people in Vigo county elected a jus- tice of the peace. He supposed that his term began at once, but when he filed his bond he was confronted with the commission of the man he was elected to succeed, ang that com- mission runs until next year—1887. Now, our constitution provides that no man’ who holds a Judicial position shall be elected t6 any other than a judicial office during the term tor which he was elected. Now, the man elected by the democrats as justice of the peace never entered upon the discharge ot his duties as such; never assuming the functions of the office. He could not doso until the expiration of the time for which bis predecessor was commissioned. At the recent election this man who was elected ‘a Justice of the peace, but whose term has never begun, was elected to the legislature. Our best lawyers contend that the case 1s too plain tor controversy; that as the term of the legislator elect as Justice of the peace had not begun, he is lawfally eligible to the position to which’ he as last chosen.” Who will determine his eligibility?” “The lower house of the legislature to which he waselected,” was the reply. ‘And the republicans have a majority in that house,” suggested the reporter. “Yes,” replied Mr, Dalton, they have ama- Jority, and it has been suggested that they may unseat a suffielent number of democrats to give them a majority on joint ballot. Of course they might do that. They have the power, but if they undertake to control the legislature and procure a U.S. Senator by any such means there will be trouble. ‘The people will not submit to any unlawfal exercise of party power in this ease. For my part I have bo uneasiness on the subject. The democrats have two majority in the legislauure and they will elect that Senator without any troubie.”” “Who will get the senatorship?” the reporter asked. ‘d Mr. D.

According to late returns the Nebraska legis- lature will consist of about 90 republicans and 43 democrats. A large number of the republhi- cans are avowed supporters of Senator Van Wyck tor re-election, but he is opposed by the regular republicans and also by a portion of the | democracy, The regular republicans will prob- ably hold a caucus and make a nomination tor Senator, which will be opposed by the Van Wyck men of both parties. The contest will then develop into a free fight. A recount of the vote hus been ordered in the third assembly district of Camden county, N.

TESTING THE LEGALITY OF THE BOYCOTT. The legality of the boycott is being ested for the first time In Massachusetts at the trial here tofore mentioned in THE Stax, begun at Ply- mouth Wednesday against Peter McGough, of Lynn, and William B, O'Keefe, of Salem, both prominent Knights of Labor, An indictment ainst them charges that an agent of Charles farrington & Co. was.in Plymouth on June 16, selling leather to Piymouth manufacturers, and that the delendauts attempted to prevent one F. F. Emery, ot Plymouth, from buying leather of the agent by means of threats oi boy- cotting; that Ly these threats they induced sundry persons to leave the employ of Emery, and prevented other persops irom entering bis employ ualil. be should agree to purchase no more stock of the Harringtons, and that Emery. was finally compelled to accede to their de- mands, to the injury of his business and that of the Harringtons. Chief Justice Brigham, in overraling Gen. Butler's motion to quash the indictment, said: “It is a principle well established that every man haé the right to choose his own employes, aud any interference with that right is uniawtul. Every employer has a right to employ whom he chooses, and every manulacturer has the right to buy and sell from and to whom he pleases, and to use in any lawful way any ma- terial which he. may choose to buy. But the right of labor to choose its own empioyer is no more sacred than that of the employer to buy what and of whom he chooses, [1 is alsoa pri ciple that labor has the right to combine for the amelioration of its condition. Of course such & combination will reduce the profits of the employers. Employers may also combine to regulate laber, and the value of labor may be rednced asa result, or lator may be ex: to more rigorous conditions. Both combina tions act adversely and injuriousiy, but within: thelr rights. ‘These being the righis of the par- lies, any man who undertakes to prevent the mafulacturer from buying wha or trom Whom he pleases interferes with # legal right, So if a combination of persons be made to interfere with that right, it is an unlawful combination, If the means used for interference are unlawful, there is » combination in every sense of thé law.

The Adams Ex; Robbery Case Sti Farthé& Complicated. St. Louis, Nov. 12.—There probably never was amore humorous and recklessly daring highwayman than the Individual who recently robbed the Adams Express car on the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad of over $75,000, and who fs pleased to be known as “Jim Cum miings.” He captured one of the largestamounts of money ever lost by an express company, and despite the fact that a wealthy corporation and u and experienced detectives in counury are doing all that money and brains can do to run him down, Mr. Cumiaings occupies his spare time in detying his. pursuers and In furnishing them with false clues upon which to exercise their ingenuity, He seemsto feel so absolutely assured of his own saiety that he dares to have @ little amusement with the express company. He has written several let- ters heretofore and the detectives all agrced that they were written by the now imprisoned messenger, Fotueringhat, before the robbery ‘was committed as a measure of safety, should he be suspected, and au alleged expert peaman | testified before the grand jury that the hand- writing was the sume as the messengers. ANOTHER LETTER FROM CUMMINGS, But the Republican 4s in receipt of a fresh let- ter, dated Topexa, which it prints this morning, inthe same handwriting as the others, and signed “Jim Cummings,” which goes to show that Fotheringham could not possibly have written either of the others. In the leiter he states that he regrets that suspicion should rest upon Fotheringtam, and asserts that the mes- pauy’s property. He requests that the packas which accompanied the letter wiich contained property vaiued at $10,000 in notes, mortgages, ete., be returned to the Adams Express com: ny. Upon one receipt for money to the First Nadonal bank of Eureka, Kansas, appeared the following signature: “Jini Cummings, tor First National bank, Eureka,” and on tbe line below where the fact is to be ‘noted if the money is not received in proper shape, occurred the words: “I have vo complaint to make whut- ever.” 4 postscript to the letter says: “I sent that banknote to Frank James for a Joke, not for any desire to get him into trouble.” ’ The letter irom W. H. Damsel, manager of the com- Pauy, toan agent calling upon the latter topro- cure 4 sepond Londsmaa, Lue rovber wrote, “In order to give ‘bloke’ a chance to sve if he’s’ auy good on earth, [ will goon bis bond.

In spite of the fact Ubat this last letter goes to prove that Fotheringham was not its writer, « morning paper says: When the messenger's trunk wasexamined, there were a number of letters, some written in a peculiar backhand which’ “Jim Cummings” affects, others in a hand slanting in the other direction, and important of all, sheets of paper with the signa- wire of W.
