Tho crowd ii-ually assembled nt the Vnshnir
ton depot iU the dejmrture of the train for Bulti
nioro, nt noon yesterday wi- tlirown Into con
siderable excitement by the report of a pistol
fired in tho ladles' car. A rush was mado for the
scene of commotion. It appears that Mr. E.
Dorsny Etchison, formerly coinmcrelal agent at
WaUnioros, who left that place for Canada,
where he has resided for three or four years pan,
came on hero two or three days ago, and this
morally with his daughter took eeats In one of
the cans of the train then about to Btart. Shortly
after he was seated he was approached by
Colonel W. . R. Lount, formerly
of Tennessee, but now of this
city, who, tappluff him on the shoulder, said,
pointing to a friend who hud accompanied him:
"This is my friend, Cuptain John Nye, and I
have called with him to see why you havo been
polng about the city threatening to kill me on
fight. I have done nothing to you, and would
like to sec you outside tho car for an explana
tion." Mr. Etchlson rose from his seat as if to
accompany them, .and Colonel Lount and Cap
tain Nye, brother of the Senator, turned to leave
the car. It appears as the partr moved out
Colonel Lount, who was walking fa advance of
Etchison, suddenly looked round and found a
pistol pointed at his back, lie had but the
alternative of warding off tho shot. Lount
turned quickly, and In throwing up his arm
the pistol exploded, the ball taking effect in the
left hand, breaking tho finger. Lount planted
his fist upon Etchison 'g nose, smackjng the bridge
and knocking the individual down. Lount then
ecized the pistol, and catching Etchison by tho
throat, put tho pistol at his head, remarking,
"You scoundrel, you ought to have your
brains blown out, but I spare your life for tho
sake of your family." Tho employes of tho car
eclzed the combatants and were about to sepa
rate them, meanwhile two policemen appeared
nud took the parties into custody. There were a
number of ladies in the car. It may be Ima
gined that they were not in tho most
Bcrenc state of mind, not a few taking
an opportunity to give vent to their
feelings. Etchison, during the combat,
accused Colonel Lount of improper conduct with
his wife, who has for three or four years past
lived a portion of the time in Canada, but a
greater part of tho time here, boarding at the
Bame house with Colonel Lount. Colonel Lount
claims that he was unarmed except with his
walking stick. The parties were taken to tho
station house. Lount was released on parole and
Etchison held for a hearing. At 6 o clock this
evening the cose came up before Justice Wal
ters. Etchison was present, his face in a very
dilapidated condition, and was supported
by two lawyers. After some prelimi
nary conversation outside, the case was
called up. Tho Justice asked Lount whether ho
had any charges to make. lie replied he had
none. A policeman then remarked that the re
port of a pistol was heard In tho car. Lount re
plied that a plntol was heard to explode, but he
thought that tho person who held the tveapou
was too much of a coward to fire it; so he sup
posed it went off by accident. Tho whole affair
terminated in smoke. Etchison will leave for
Memphis, Tenn., at once. iV. Y. Herald.

Mr. Bright, in answering questions in Par
liament, in kis oharaoter of President of the
Board of Trade, unites in a marvellous degree
the freedom and boldness of the popular
tribune with the oaution of the Government
offlciaL The remarks with whloh he aooom-
5 antes his direct reply would, in the old Whig
ays, hare made Lord John Russell's hair
' stand on end; and as to Sir Robert Peel bat
the thought of what he would hare done ia
too appalling to be pursued. A olose observer
of Mr. Bright, a writer who ia in the House of
commons every evening, says tnat more and
every day the right honorable gentleman
I mellows into exeelleuoy and originality as a
minister 01 state.
He is by nature or by habit peremptory in
his manner and paaseology. These attributes
he retains, with a dilTerenoe; for, though they
are used with maoh effeot for the purpose of
offiolal "ending off," they are tempered by a
tone of conciliation, whloh makes him pleas
ing even to postulants whoso requests, direot
or indireot, he is obliged to refuse, and that
with preoision. Then, too, his humor is
always at his call, and is infused into his
answers, and the little speeohes he has made
with as muoh Judgment as effeot. Somehow,
too, the presence of Mr. Bright e'zerclses an
insensible influence on the oonduot and de
meanor of his colleagues, even of the very
highest. It may well be taken that the
knowledge of his keen polltioal powers, his
contempt of fusslness and shuffling, and all
the lower arts of officialism, to say nothing
of his arowed intention to "show up" his
oolleagues whenever they deserve it, must
operate on that body generally and indivi
dually.
At a oonferenoe recently held in Alezan-
dria, Va., Bishop Ames, of the U. . Church,
stated as his belief that "tobaoao was doing
more harm to the Churoh than whisky."
The inauguration of Oeneral Grant was
1 eelebrated at between eighty and ninety dif
ferent places in Germany. The best poets of
the Fatherland recited poems on the oo-
easion.
