KEi'iTitMtANS lu the Virginia Legls
lature are ready to vote for a compromise
bill regulating the State dubt, which Is
acceptable to the refunders. There lb
great consternation i n the ranks of the
readjustors In consequence.
TiiitoroH the agitation recently In
augurated at Rau Francisco, many per
sons who were opposed to the Chinese
have now become disgusted with the
talk by Kearney and his followers, and
have withdrawn their support from
hlni. .
That the number of defuced coins Is
very large and seems to be Increasing Is
probably observed by every person hand
ling much money. The government in
order to abate the nuisance, has directed
its agents not to receive any clipped or
mutilated coins, and if every one will
follow this course they will soon be
crowded out of circulation and the petty
swindlers will be forced to turning their
attention into some other direction.
Penatok Bayahd on a recent visit
to Virginia was invited to visit the Leg
islature, which was in session at the
time. He flatly refused, and emphatic
ally stated that he had no desire to asso
ciate with debt repudiators. He had
nothing but contempt for them. If all
person b who refused to pay their honest
debts were treated In such an unceremo
nious manner it would have good cflect
on mankind in general.

A Deliberate Murder. '
PrnsiunGii, Feb. 24. A bold murder
was committed this afternoon on Tunnel
street. The murdered person was a
young man, apparently 25 or 80 years of
age, and the murderer, an old drunkeu
scrap-iron and rag dealer, who is seen
daily in the village of Old avenue, but
nobody seems to know his name. Two
boys, each about 15 years of uge, were
eye-witnesses to the murder. They were
on their way to school, and had stopped
on the sidewalk just above Fifth avenue,
when they noticed two men turn the
corner. The young man, William Penu,
was carrying a dinner bucket and a
bridle, while the other man wore a long,
brown overcoat, was short and heavy,
had a reddish moustache and whiskers,
and in general was very ragged and
drunken in appearuuee. He was a man
much older than his companion, per
haps fifty or lifty-llve yeurs of age, and
the two seemed to be quarreling. Hot
words were passing between them.
They had not gouo more than twenty
live or thirty steps from Fifth avenue
when the old man, who was next to
the sidewalk, gave the other a push Into
an ally, and at the same time drew ft
large butcher knlfo from under his over
coat and stabbed him in the left side.
The wounded man fell , with a groan.
The man who stabbed him stood and
looked at 1dm fora short time, and when
the wounded man called "police," he
replied, " Polloe I call the police, (1 n
you. I don't care," and turning around
coolly, walked down the street. The
two boys followed him, but it does not
seem that they gave the alarm. A crowd
soon gathered arouud the injured man.
He didn't seem to be bleeding at all, and
the people were in doubt for a while
whether he really had been cut. The
man was breathing very heavily and
was utterly unable to speak. He was
unconscious, and died within Ave min
utes after he was hurt. Kelley, the mur
derer was arrested the next day.
Selling Chickens in Broad Street.
A crowd of some 4,000 people gathered
at 11 A. M. Wednesday arouud the Sher
itr'e auctioneer, Thomas Sullivan, in
front of the Stock Exchange to buy some
Brahma fowls and In an indirect way to
subscribe generally to the Irish relief
fund. Two large drays were drawn up
in the middle of the street and on one
of these improvised platforms Cornetlst
Levy tooted the " Irish Washerwom
an," " The Harp that Once Through
Tara Halls," ' The Girl I Left Behind
Me," and " St. Patrick's Day." Sever
al stump orators volunteered their ser
vices, Captain Ilynders monopolized the
business. While his speech was con
tending with the shouts of the multi
tude the following subscription were
received : Wm. Traphagen, $100; Nash
& Crook, $125; Henry Hughes, $230;
James O'Brien, 30() ; George Canfleld,
$330, and Sheriff" Bowe, $125. The three
Brahmas, which were the gift of Mr.
Iluckholdt, of New Haven, were mon
strous birds, the cock weighing seven
teen pounds and the hens twelve pounds
each. After some competition they were
knocked down to Andrew Martin for
$35. Three Plymouth Rocks were sold
to the same bidder for $13, and a lot of
pasteboard eggs, or " persuaders," to the
truckman, Mr. Taggart, for $4. Several
smaller contributions were received,
swelling the total amount to $1,200, and
then Levy blew " Garryowen." A gang
of pickpockets made merry with the
purse of the philanthropists during
the proceedings. The police were pow
erless, for It took over half an hour to
clear the sidewalks. N. Y. World.
Tho Sand Let Gang and the Chinese.
San FitANuiKco, Cal., Feb., 24. At
the sand lot yesterday, Gannon tho
leader of the unemployed, intimated
that they would finish their rounds
among the employers of Chinese this
week, after which there would be less
noise made, but their meetings would be
secret and dangerous to those who refus
ed to comply with their demands. The
Board of Supervisors, the Chief of Po
lice, and a number of prominent citizens
held a private consultation yesterday,
which Is believed to have reference to
the threat made on Sunday by Kearney
to erect a gallows on the Band lot this
week. Among the business classes the
revival of a committee of safety Is talk
ed of.
Western Storm.
' A Bismarck special dated Feb. 24th
says : The worst snow storm ever
known in the northwest raged here for
two days. For two months a succession
of storms has interrupted travel on the
Northern Pacific, causing a very large
loss to the roads and to the Black Hills
Stuge Company. But three trains have
arrived from the East since February 1,
All extensions, Improvements and re
pairs are suspended.
A Strange Mother.
The story comes from Easton that a
mother tried to have her son sent to the
House of Correction that she might get
rid of him. His case was dismissed, when
the Judge ascertained that he was her
fourth child, and she wanted to get rid
of hlni on account of her husband's
having Insisted that she should bear
only three children.
CSrMrs. John Book, a colored woman
of Lancaster, on Monday gave birth to
her twenty-second child and died about
two hours afterward. Mrs. Book was
an industrious, hardworking woman.
She had been married about twenty-four
years, and within that time gave birth
to twenty-two children, fourteen of
whom are living. They are of course of
all age -from 23 years down to one day
old. At the time of her death Mrs.
Book was about 42 years old. Her
husband is a hardworking laboring
man, usuully engaged in carrying the
hod. . I .
A widow met a certain gontleman

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. I
Wasiiinoton, D. C, Feb. BfJ, 1880.
Tbo calling of the Demooratlo Conven
tion at Clualmiatl two week Inter than
the Republican Convention at Chlongo baa
an unmistakable significance Ohio they
Intend to make one of the debatable
grounds of the campaign, and If tbe Itopub
lloans make a blunder In tbolr nomination
Pennsylvania will also be doubtful, The
blundur which the Democrats are hoping
their enemies will make Is the enforce
ment of the third toi m Idea In the nomina
tion of Grant. In that case the Democrats
would nominate llanoook, who, with the
prosont dissatisfaction with tbe Grant
Cameron management in Pennsylvania,
would probably carry that State, The
Democrats think that this would Justly
give them a fine ehanoe. But will tbe
Republicans make this mistake ? I don't
believe tbey will. They are beginning to
be foarful of the third term themselves,
and it looks as though Blaine would break
that boom In Illinois. Thoy may blunder,
but It looks as though they would not so
completely put themsolvea Into the hands
of their opponents as to nominate Grant.
It Is probable that the deficiency bill for
the Star Mall service will be adopted, be
cause it will be disastrous to cut.down that
service now. But It will be so qualified
that the extravaganoe of Its administration
cannot be continued.
The Ute prisoners will be here in a few
days, and shortly we shall know what their
fute shall be and whether peace or war
will be the oondltion of the "Indian ques
tion" for the season.
Under the bill, giving the State five per
oent. of tbe value at one dollar and a quar
ter per acre, of lauds granted by the Gen
eral government on military land watrants,
the following states will be benefited, and
in the amounts named in round numbers :
Iowa,
Illinois,
Missouri,
Wisconsin,
Minnesota,
Kansas,
