Some of our esteemed Republican

since to fight Bierne. of the Stale, "is a

and was V member of Company C,
Third N. C. Infanty, first as private
and afterwards as corporal. These
tacts account for much of the rare pluck

Far the first tfme since November,
Wilmington Del., is officially reported
absolutely clear of sniall-pox. Durinz
its prevalence there, there were 220
cases reported, of which 77 proved fatal.
Nearly all the fatal cases were among
patients who had never been vaccinated
or had not been vaccinated since child
hood. And still there is no news from the
bellicoso Virginian editors who went
out to fight a duel. A passenger who
arrived here last night, having left
Richmond yesterday afternoon, tells us
that opinion is divided as to whether
there will be any light; at all now. Iis
known that tMahone was in Richmond
all day Sunday and that he kept prelty
closfe, and it is supposed that Elam was
closeted with him that day. If such be
the case it is thought probable that the
Boss told Mr. Elam most emphatically
that he must not fight, that his life was
too valuable to his party to bo risked
idly and. as all' of the Readjus
tee ; belong ' to" Mah6ne,-: it- is
probable " that Elani will obey " him.
There is an undercurrent of opinion,

too, it would seem, that is not at all un
favorable to Elam who, it is said,
has been egged on by Beirne for some
time past and upon whom it is plainly
evident in this instance that the quar
rel was forced by the State people. But
Richmond is full of rumors and conjec
tures and nobody seems to know for
certain where the parties are or wheth
er there will be any fight after all. But
there is evidently onegeneral sentiment
on the subject and that is, that if there
is no duel now there will certainly be
one not Ions hence. . ,

j Street Improvements.
The street brigade have been for some
time busily employed in sawda sting
hc streets in the outer portions of the
city, until now nearly all of the princi
pal thoroughfares have been improved
by this method Of course, sawdust is
not as good and durable as ballast, but
in the absence of the latter it makes a
very good substitute, and makes a very
nice roadway, although it soon wears
out. , -
City Court, i
.The first case before the Mayor
this morning was that of J. H. Dur
ham, a colored lad apparently not more
than seven year3 old, who was charged
with sleeping under people's houses. It
seems that the little fellow is a waif
with no home nor kindred, and it was
decided to retain ; him in the guard
house until some one comes forward
who will be willing to take his inden
tures. - .
J. Thompson, also colored, - for dis
orderly conduct, was sentenced to pay
a fine ot $5 or be imprisoned in the city
prison 20 days. He paid the fine.
Returned. !
Capt. B. G. Bates arrived here on
Monday night, after an absence from
the city of about three weeks, during
which time he has visited Chicago and
opnngneiu, in., oesiaes omer promi
nent cities of the West and Northwest.
He returns in excellent health - and ex
presses himself as much delighted with
what he saw, heard and experienced
during the trip. He left Springfield,
Hi., on Saturday night last and arrived
here in little more than 48 hours alter,
during 4 hours of which time he was
detained at Washington. D. C. The
distance is about 1,300 miles.

Rev. James Carmichael, D. D., the
newly called reictorof St. John's Church
"in this city, reached here last night and
is now stopDinsr at the residence of Mr.
John Alexander wnere he ,wouia oe
happy to see his mends and the menis
bers, of the church. Dr. Carmichael is
46 years of age, is married and has one
kn nearly 17 years old, who is now at
school. He came here from Fredericks
burg, Va., at which place his family
for the present remain. His last charge
was in the diocese of Easton, MdL Dur
ing the yellow fever season of 1873 he
was rector of Grace Church, Memphis,
Tenn., and remained at his post through
the entire reign ot that terrible epidem
ic, which almost decimated that fated
city. He was taken s sick ; with the
d'sease, but fortunately recovered. He
will probably officiate at the services
which will be held at St. John's next
Sundays
The Dog: Question.
It seems to us that the haste with
which the city authorities dispatch all
ol the untoitunate canines who are
netted on the streets, taken without
badges, is rather unseemly. They are
all killed within one hour of the time in
which they arc captured, and in this
way therois but little' chance left for
tjhe owner f any one of the luckless
animals to redeem his property. A dog
may have been listed and badged, and
the badge may have been lost or , stolen,
and the dog may be captured and killed
Arithout the fact having been . discover
ed. In such a case the question would
arise, "What are you going to do about
There is another point and -it has
legal aspect. Uogs are property, ac
knowledged as such by the laws which
make them taxable subjects, and by
what right do the city authorities de-
strov that nroDrty by a mere act of
m - . -
arbitrary confiscation? They have
rieht to tax property and a right to
attach and sell property to pay for un
Daid taxes but have they a right to de-
strov property, at all events without
regular and due process of law, and
without affording an opportunity for
the redemption of that property? They
attach and sell a house for the noh
payment ot the tax thereon and if
they in that way become the owners
thereof they may pull that house down
or dispose of it in some other - way,
but they cannot destroy that house
without due process of law and as
leng as the title remains in another
name. If a house is considered , dilapi
dated or unsafe they, may condemn it
and have it razed and so too may they
order the destruction or a dog which is
considered unsafe and dangerous to the
public welfare." But as we" put it.
have they - the right to seize -upon
and order the destruction of a citizen's
dog any more than a citizen's house?

There was much of a dullness prevail

day. Every one seemed to be doing

a solvent credit so positively as would
warrant one in taking anoath fthat it
was such.
