The r?a!S <w ? Peaceful and Honored
Citizen of ihe Stato.
It Is with tho profoundest grief and
regret that we announce tho fall of
William M. Shannon, Esq., of Ker
sjuaw, in n duel with Colonel Cash, of
Chesterfield.
Mr. Shannon was a peaceful and
nobly good citizen, who had lived a
useful and honorable life for sixty
years. With, perfect truth can it bo
said of him that no man in Uie State
was more respected, more beloved,
rnore honored than he. Surrounded
by a largo family^?a wife aud thir
teen .children?he had ripened into
an honored and honorable life, a man
whom none associated with the
"bloody code.7' He was summoned
to tho field, as we are informed, as
in connection with matters growing
out of his professional duties in a
cause in court, and declined to an
swer an invitation calling him to ac
count, personally, for the discharge of
what he esteemed his proper profes
sional duties. Upon assuming this
position he wag pronounced, and, as
we are informed, published as a cow
ard. An imperious custom directly
in the face of the law of the Slate re
quired Mr. Shannon, uuder Buch cir
cumstances, to defend his aggrieved
honor, and he falls at the hands of
his adversary on the field, his life
blood flowing from his person, in
plain and unqualified violation of the
law of the land.
To our apprehension it is too late
now to discuBS the rightfulncss or
wrongfulneBS of what is called the
"Code of Honor." The Slate has
solemnly pronounced against it in the
plainest possible provisions of the
law. It is pot competent, according
to our understanding of civilized rule,
for tho individual citizen to gainsay
a law because he or others may hold
(and perhaps honestly) that it is an
unwise, hurtful law. He who violates
the plain law must justify himself un
der the law or be content to Buffer the
penalties it imposes. He who assumes
to be superior to the law of the socio-?,
-?^tyMn^wUich'-'uCrlive? takes this opHolfli
' and he must so mean when he refuses
obedience to its plain commands.
The question, too, with the sworn
officials pf the Stnte is not whether
they deem the law best served in the
breach than in the observance thereof,
but whether they are entrusted, un
der oath, with cnoosing which laws
they will enforce and which they will
not. It is a solemn question, but it
is one which must be met with calm,
unflinching, courageous faithfulness.
The Anti-pucling Society now has
a practical case presented to it with
which it may deal. If the law of the I
State against duelling is plain and un
qualified, and the sovereign power of
the State has through the Legislature
so declared, all that remains "is to
enforpe the law, and for the citizens
to demand, in the high defense of so
ciety, that the law be enforced." On
the other hapd, if it be impossible to
enforce the law, let it be stricken
from the statute book as an expres
sion of our civilization, which is in
conflict with the lecognized demands
of society. But if th:s code of blood
bo wrong, and the body politic are
unwilling to forego the law of the
land as it now stands, let ail know
who live under this law that the law
cf the State means what it gravely
eaith, and must be obeyed ; that the
tribunals of justice will in no event
shield the transgressor in deference
to the opinions of a few who may
possibly hold their right to personal
vengeance to be higher than the law.
If tho State has tho right to curb
the passions of its citizens and to say
to one in one case, thus far shalt thou
go, and beyond it you are solemnly
forbidden to go under the penalties of
the law, even unto the death penalty,
and it so saith and so enforces in the
one case without respect of persons ;
and it hath the right and doth equally
so say in another case it seems to us
to bo trifling with our civilization and
the most solemn securities of civilized
society to enforce the one require
ment and forego the other; for it is
to assume in the latter case that there
are opinions or individuals in the
State above tho law, and hence above
the State, and only beholden to obey
its behests so far as they choose to do
so, or so far as they agree with the
State in the rightfulncss of its re
quirements.
Ith* but just to say here that we
have no personal feeling in this mat
ter save that of a citizen prepared to
defend the law of the State against a
sort of public sentiment which fearful
ly misplaces good and law-abiding
citizens at tho demand of those who
assume tho right to require the citi
zen to disobey the law under which
he lives or Buffer tho penalties of a
bloody, merciless and barbarous cus
tom. - -
We would not sec any man pur
sued vindictively, but if it be necessa
ry to defend the law in the person of
an offender this wc would see done
calmly, firmly and relentlessly to the
high defense of the law as surely as
God Mveth, without respect of persons
or personal consequences.? Columbia

A True Lady.
I
WiUlncss is a thing which girls can |
not afford. Delicacy is a thing which
cannot he lost or found. No art can i
restore the grape its bloom. Famil
iarity, without confidence, without
regard, is destructive to all that
makes woman exalting and enno
bling.

Nothing? Jt i*thc first duty of a
woman to be a lady. Good breeding
is good sense. Bad manners in a
woman is immorality. Awkwardness
may be ineradicable. Bashfulncss is
constitutional. Ignorance of etiquette
is the result of circumstances. All
can be condoned and not banish men
or women from the amenities of their
kind. But self-possessed, uiishiink
ing and aggressive coarseness of 'de
meanor may be reekom d as a State's
prison offence, and certainly merits
that mild sort of restraint called im
prisonment for life. It is a shame
for women to be lectured on their
manners. It is a bitter shame that
they need it. Women arc the um
pires of society. It is they to whom
all mooted points should be referred.
To be n lady is more than to be a
prince. A lady is always in her right
inalienably worthy of respect. To a
lady, prince or peasant alike bow.
Do not be restrained. Do not have
impulses that need restraint./ Do not_
wish to dance with the prince un
sought ; feel differently. Be sure yon
confer honor. Carry yourself so loft
ily that men will look up to you for
reward, and not at you in rebuke.
Tbc natural sentiment of man toward
woman is reverence. He loses a
large means of grace when bo is
obliged to account her a being to
be trained in propriety. A man's
ideal is not wounded when a woman
fails in wisdom ; but if in grace, in
tact, in sentiment, in delicacy, in
kindness, she would be found want
ing, he receives an inward hurt.?Gail
Hamilton.
Another lor Hancock.
Mr. Jerome, the prominent Repub
lican who has recently declaied him
self for Hancock, said recently to a
New York World reporter: "So far
as my letter goes, the responses from
my family and friends have been
abundant and inosc complete. I have
received numerous letters from many
Republicans of prominence who de
clare that they agree with me abso
lutely in the sentiments of my letter,
and that they will support General
Hancock to their utmost. I hope it
will not prostrate Jones on a bed of
sickness, but I nm going to organize
a Hancock club in the twenty-fourth
ward. My *vanity* just now is to see
the twenty-fourth made the banner
Hancock ward of the country. I do
not believe that there is a single man
of intelligence in the ward who will
vote against Hancock next Novem
ber. Mark you that. The Tribune,
I too, has something to say of my letter
j and me as a "cold-nosed Republican."
As to that, I said in my letter that I
had been a Republican and I spoke
the truth. I voted for Hayes in 187G,
and I contributed funds to aid in his
election. I did the same for Cornell
when he was chosen Governor, and
the Tribune, may attack my record in
that respect as much as it pleases.
It may amuse the paper and it can't
hurt the facts!"

Night Life of Yonng Men.
One night often destroys a whole
life. The leakage of the night keeps
tho day forever empty. JjHgbt is
sin's harvesting lime. More sin and
crime arc committed in one night
than all the days of tho week. This
is more amphatically true in tho city
than in the 'Country. Tiie streot
lamps, like a Glc of soldiers, with a
torch in hand, stretch away in long
lines on either sidewalk ; the gay-col
ored transparencies are ablaze with
attractions, the saloon and billiard
halls brilliantly illuminated ; the gay
company begin to gather to houses
of pleasure ; the gambling deno are
a/lame with palatial splendor; tho
theaters arc wide open ; the mills of
destruction arc grinding health, hon
or, happiness, hope out of thousands
of lives. The city under gaslight.is
not the satrc as under God's sunlight.
The allurements and perils and pit
falls of night arc a hundred fold deep
er and darker and more destructive.
Night life in oar cities is a dark pro
blem, whose depth,and abysses and j
whirlpools make us start back with ,
horror. All nightlong tears arc full*,
iug, blood is streaming.
Young men tell me where you
spend your evenings, and I will write
out the chart of your character and
final destiny, with blanks to insert
your names. It seem9 to me an ap
propriate text would Im "Watchman
what of the night?" Policeman,
pacing thy beat, what of the nigh?
What are tho youny men of the city
(loins at night? Where do they
spend their evenings? Who are
their assoeiutbs? What are their
habits? Where do the}*'go in and
what lime, do you sec them come out?
Policemen, would the night life of
young men commend them to tho
confidence of their employers??
Would it he to their credit?
Make a record of the nights of one
week. Put in the morning paper
the names of all the young men, their
hahi's and haunts, that arc on the
street forv sinful pleasure. Would
there not be shame and confusion?)
Some would not dare to go to their
places of business; sonic would not
return home at night; some would
leave the city ; some would commit
suicide. Remember young men,
that in the retina of the all seeing
Eye there is nothing hid but shall be
revealed on the last day.?Christian

Pearson for Hancock.
Gen. A. L. Pearson, a recognized
Republican leader of Pillsburg, Pa.
has declared for Hancock. lie is
Chairman of the Republican Commit
tee of Pillsburg, and was recenty
Stale's Attorney, has been a stanch
friend of Ihe C.amcrons, and laoored
for the nomination of General Giant
at Chicago. General Pearson went
into the late war as a captain and
came out a major-general. He ad
dressed a Democratic ratification
meeting at Grcenburg, Pa., Friday
evening, and predicted that Hancock
would not only bo elected, but that
he would carry Pennsylvania. Gen
end Pearson has addressed a lettor to
General U. S. Grant, Crnirman of the
[Union Veterans' National Committee
resigning his connection with the
committee, "having reluctantly come
to the conclusion that the influence
I of the great historic party is ended,
! and ought to end ; that those who
pretend to keep up its organization
are doing so for office and gain, and
that its encouragement of sectional
hate is a constant menace to the Uni

the City Republican Executive Com

Two Girls' Horriblo Death.
Pqtxjiikkf,i'3IB, July C.?It was only
a brief dispatch that told of a terri
ble accident on the draw bridge on
the Hudson River Railroad trek, near
Dutches Junction, yesterday morning.
Little Bella Crismier was the daugh
ter of Hary Jane Williams by a for
mer husband. She was G years of
age. In compau}' with Annie Brad
ley, her half-sister, who is 14 years
old, and Mary O'Brien, a playmate 8
years old, she started "at 10 in tiie
morning for a ramble/*-T/hoir home
is situated just North of the draw
bridge. On the East side of ti?o
bridge, at a place called Byrnsville,
ia an old mill, whore tJic lif.Ue ones
were accustomed to play. It was for
this mill they started, and they had
to cross the draw-bridgo in order to
reach it. They were on the down
track. Suddenly one of them turned
as they got on the bridge, and saw a
freight train coming from the North.
All three stepped across on the up
track to get out of the way of the ap
proaching train. iTuSKpjthen Annie
Bradley looked Southland saw tho
Saratogo express coining North on
Ihe same track that they were on. At
this time little Mary O'Brien was a
little distance from thetn ; and nearer
to the approaching tram than they
were. Annie cried out to the O'Bri
en girl to burr}' back ofT the bridge,
and taking Bella Crismier by the
hand, started back with her. The
engineer of tlhc Saratoga express,
Archie Buchanan, saw them, but it
was *oo lato, lie rovcrsed his nn
gino a' d the air brakes toere applied,
but all to no purpose.- The engine
struck the little O'Bricjf girl first and
every car on the train ran over her.
It next Btruck Bella Crismier, and the
engine and every car ran Over her.
Annie Bradley was onjeiho East side
and had just stepped oft' the end of
the bridge, and received only a slight
bruise on the ankle. \
As soon as possible -the cars were
stopped, and the trairfMfcnd3 picked
up the remains of tifejDj|rb^rerit{/.'c5.
Thcir skulls were cruslico, and their
legs and arms were ground to pieces.
All that could he found of the remains
were placed on the side of the track,
and Coroner Schenck, of Mnsteawan,
was given notice and held an inquest,
the jury returning a verdict in accor
dance with Ihe pitiful facts. The
main witness was Andie Bradley, and
her testimony was given at the home
of the dead children, amid the shrieks
and moanings of tho parents, and was
to a certain extent incoherent. Cor
oner Schenck did not deem it, impor
tant to summon Engineer Archie Bu
chanan as a witness, although he
could probably have told a much
clearer story of the horrible alfair.
Other evidence showed that the train
men did all In their power to avert the
calamity. The funeral of the victims
occurred to-day and was attended by
a large number of people. Mary
O'Brien had a mother but no lather.
A Sad Case.
Danville, Va., July 9.?Last night
about midnigh Thomas D. Dcjarnette
entered a bagnio and enquired for
Mollie Dcjarnette, nn inmate thereof.
She appeared, recognized him as her
brother, and at his request went with
him(to a private room. A few minutes
afterward repeated pistul shots were
heard from the room. The police
were called in and found the door
fastened. They broke it down and
discovered the girl lying on the floor
weltering in blood, her brother stand
ing by her, pistol in his hand. He
immediately confessed having shot
her and averred he had done it to
wipe out the disgrace of his family
by his sister's conduct. Ho surren
dered himself to the officers and has
been committed to jail, He declares
his willingness to accept the i cnalty
of the law. A medical examination
showed that the girl was shot in five
places, two wounds at least being
necessarily fatal, and that she cannot
survive. She protests that her broth
er was right in taking her life, and
begs that he be not punished. On
their separation after the tragedy Ihe
brother and sister embraced with mu
tual forgiveness and tears of grief.

Terrible Adventure jn a Well,
Near the Umnliln River recently
Mr. Green was digging a well and Mr.
Scott his brother-in-law, while break
ing a young and vicious horse, appro
ached the well to speak to Mr. Green.,
then some thir'een feet helow.
As Scott attempted to start the horse
it whirled him around and, wvith cars
pinned back and mouth wide opon
made a plunge for him. lie dodged
and into the well the horse .tumbled.
As he went down he doubled up so
that his shoulders and side struck
Green, clashing him to tho earth.
The only thing that prevented him
from being instantly kill was a box
whicn was suspended by a rope which
was fastened above. This sustained
sufficient weight to allow him to
breathe, having been crushed down so
that his lace came lieside tho box.
At or.ee Scott realized the situation
and knew that the frantic efforts of
the]animal would quickly kill the man
beneath him, and seizing an axe he
jumped down upon the animal, when
a life and death struggle ensued. At
leng' h be managed to strike the horse a
blow on the head which stunned him,
and he then quickly dispatched him ;
as every time he struggled large
quantities of earth poured down upon
tbe luckless Green, who was Impris
oned beneath. Scott climbed to tho
surface and ran a mile and a half for
help.
Returning as quickly as possible,
men set to work cutting tho horse to
pieces and hoisting it out of the well.
Mrs. Green was present and cheered
her husband by telling him he would
soon be released. The poor man was
suffering intense agony and said he
could not live n minute longer. He
bade his wife farewell in choking
sobs. With frantic efforts the animal
was torn limb from limb until the last
piece was cleared away and the un
conscious man was found buried to
bis chin in dirt and gravel saturated
with blood, and was lifted to the sur
face. He was carried to his homo,
oJatyrc restoratives were applied, and
in a short time he spoke. Although'
no bones were broken he was badly
crushed and bruised, and may be con
fined to his bed for weeks.
A Story of Brick Pomery.
There is a minor in circulation to
tho effect that Brick Pomcroy has
made a lucky hit and secured about
8100,000, and those who toll the sto
ry claim they got it from good au
lliority. The story is very romantic.
Last summer, readers of his DcyiO'
erat will remember, there was pub
lished in that paper an article from
the pen of Pomcroy, reciting the ter
rible sufferings of an Animosa (Col.)
man, who, though wealth}', had been
turned out of doors by his family, to
whom he had deeded his property on
condition that they would support
him in his old age. According to the
article the ungrateful family, by false
swearing, caused the old man to be
incarcerated in an asylum for the in
sane, and then proceeded to enjoy
themselves upon his savings. This is
where Pomeroy's tale ends, and whore
Dame Rumor takes it up. It is said
that on his recent visit to Colorado
Pomcroy gave attention to the case
and succeeded not only in getting the
poor old man out of the asylum but
in putting him again in possession of
his property. It is then said that in
his gratitude the old man has deeded
his property over to Pomcroy upon
the same conditions ns it was first
given to his famil}'. It is a fact that
Pomcroy has a remarkable faculty of
satisfying ignorant people of his
greatness and it is not improbable
that this yarn may be true.?La

A Radical paper in Delaware recent
ly published the following which is an
indication of the proposed course of
conduct of the campaign : "It is time
that all men who love this land should
vacate any ground that leads to a
mere discussion of men. It is time
to awake to a discussion of principles,
and to recogn zc that this battle in
November is simply the adjourned
battle of Gettysburg. Seventeen years
ago the rebels failed to defeat Han
cock : failing there, they have not giv
en up the onset, but have simply
changed their line of attack and now
ask him, instead of Longstrcet and
Hill, to lead them in their endeavor
to gain possession of the Govern
ment."

An Adroit Swordsman.
Pulaski, as is well known, woo as
adroit a.swordsman as he was perfect
in hotsemanship, and Im? ?vor rode a
powerful and Hoot charger. {During
tho retreat of the American army
through New Jersey, in the darkest
hour of our national adversity, PuIra
ki wns, with a squall party ol horse
men, pursued by a party of British
cavalry, the leader of w4iicb ?was as
good n horseman and mounted nearly
as well as Pulnski. Pulaski rode in
the near of his detachment, and the
British Captain came in advance of
those lie commanded. The morning
sun was shining brightly, casting
oblique shadows, nud, as the pursued
party entered a ?long, narrow laue,
Pulaski, having satisfied himself of
the superior speed and command of
his horse over that of his pursuer,
slackened his pace and kept his horse
to the sjde of the lane farthest from
the sun. The pursuing ofilcer came
up in hot baste, his sword .elevated so
as to make the decisive cut upon pu
laski as soon as he could reach him.
Puluski rode as though he had not
heard the advance upon him?yet he
kept bis eyes fixed warily upon '.he
ground on the side of his horse to
ward the sun on la's right. As soon
as he saw the shadow of his pursuer's
horse gain upon him, and found that
tbe horse's bead by the shadow had
gained about half the length of his
own horse's body, he gave the sudden
sword cut of St. George, with his
powerful arm, and saw the decapita
ted head of the Jvnglish officer follow
the stroke.
His mathematical eye had measured
the distance by the position of the
shadow so^to^uratcly, and his posi
tion giving u:- ong back reach to his
right arm, while the cross stroke of
his pursuer must have been made at
a mheli shorter distance to have tak
en effect, that tbe pursuing officer
lost his head before he suspected that
bis proximity was known, or that a
blow was meditated.
^ _
He came to the door on tiptoe and
cautiously poked his head in, in a sug
gestive sort of way, as if there was
more to follow and inquired :
"Is this the editorial rinktnm?"
"How's that, sir ?"
"Is this the rinktum?Sinklum?
sanctum?or some such place, where
the editor lives, moves and does his
lying?"
I "This is the editorial room. Yes,
sir, come in."
"No ; I guess I won't come. I jes'
w'anted to see what a rinktum was
like, that's all. The great Jehosa
phat! ain't she dirt}', and don't she
loom up with old papers and trash?
Looks like our obi last years corn
crib?only wuas. And this is the
rinktum? Well, I mus' be goin',
good day."
And he departed the "rinktum."

method of informing my friends in
Shatlerfield and vicinity of the base
ness, wickedness and low down act of
some one who slandered me in my

ed in Shatlerfield that I had a fight
with a negro by the name of Wyatt
Stevens. I never saw the negro in
my life that I know of. I don't sec
what the low-down, dirty, filthy,
thieving cur that started that report
meant. Whoever he is, he would
steal trom a widowed mother?in fact
he would not hesitate lo commit any
crime where cowardice would venture.
And should he have brass enough to
own up and want redress, I will be
perfectly delighted to grant him the

I am perfectly responsible for every

Miscegenation and Misery.
One who "knows whereof lie
speaks" furnishes the Dailg Netoa the
following facts: About two miles
from the Courthouse on the Air Line
Road, is a shanty of one small room,
owned by A mislead Walker, a negro.
A part of this hovel he rents to Rich
Everett, a mulatto, fifty-three years
old, who asserts that he is married to
Lavinia, a white woman, thirty-four
years of age, who lives there with
him. This woman has two children
the youngest of whom recognizes
Everett as its father. Everett also
furnishes a section of this one crowd
ed room to n white woman, nged
twenty-seven years, who, in turn,
boards three other women, all. white,
and aged respectively twenty-three,
thirty and eighteen years. There are,
besides, two white and one mulatto
child in this room, where all live,
cook and sleep alike on the floor.
Walker, the nogro owner of the edij
