This letier was published in the newspapers.

That part of the story upon which all xceounts agree. is | to the effect that this morning, a little past 1 o’clock, four voung men who go by the names of Frank MeGarry, Johnson Carter, William }Montgomery and Charles Bryarton were sitting on some hbenehes in the park, When there came along a man who got into an altereation with the four voung men, shot and killed one of them, and then disappeared. The dead man Was taken to the Dispensary, and proved to be Charles Prvarton. Oflicer Shipp, who arrived on the ground soon after Bry- arton was shot, arrested Johnson Carter, and William Montgomery went along to the Dispensary, then yvaye himself up, and along | with Carter was taken to the Four Courts and locked up. Both were very much intoxicated, and Montgomery gave a confused account of the shooting toa reporter. It was as follows: ‘*We was all sitting 1nthe park—Charlic Irvarton, Victor Carter, and me.

It was expected that the mystery would be | solved this morning. There was a suspicion that Detective Eges.of | the city police force, Was the man who had done the killing. Ifhe had, why did he not report at hexdquarters immediately and ex- plain the affeir, A theory advanced was oa 1 2es Was coiiik home fhrough the park, and that these four men had attempted to garrote him, and in self-defense he had fatally shot one of them. But if this was true, why did Eges MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPRAR, and leave the affair shrouded in tery? The four young men _ in tha park were notoriously bad chara“ers; one of them bad been in the Penitentiary ana T22 others had served fre- quent terms in the Work-house. crowd bad been accused of attempting lo gar- rote Judge T. T. Gantt some time ago. They were all recognized to be loafers and associates of thieves. Ifthey had really attempted to garrote the stranger who fired the fatal shot nobedy regretted the killing, for it would be a good riddance. This presents the state of the case when a Post-Dispatrcnm reporter went up to the Four Courts this morning. One of the first things to be learned was that Detective Eggs had reported about five o’ clock—some three hours after the shooting — but that he DECLINED TO MAKE ANY STATEMENT. Of course, if he had dene the shooting he would have said once. He was the man-—there could doubt aboutit. But why’ This is question altogether. When the reporter arrived Ecgs was sitting in the cffice of Captain Lee. llis appearance was an astonishing surprise. He is a heavy-set man of thirty- five, massive features, thick, sharp nose, ruddy complexion and tvlean-shayed face, ex- cepta big mustache. He looked terribly downeast. His eyes were red and btloodsbot just as if he had waked up out of a drunken slumber. Ifthe roughs had attempted to rroie him and he had killed one of them, it was tt good thing. and everybody . would say so. . And thus the reporter spoke, but Egus did not appreciate it, or HM way net applicable to his case. . ‘*The Post-DIspaTcr « anxieus to get vourstatement, Mr. Eggs, beeause that will be secepted as a full explowntion,”’ said the reporter. **I did not,’’ said he, ‘‘know I had shota man.

It does not seem to have entered into their minds that a general statute con- trolling the actions of two millions of free- men in this State was a matter about which any one was to be consulted except the half dozen peppery divines who constituted the mecting. Thelaw was to be whatever best suited them, and what suited them best was alaw conferring on them the full power of the State in legalizing marriages, the State taking the responsibility and the ministry tuking the fees. This would certainly be a very agreeable distribution of the spoils, but, we cannot wonder that one or twoof the gentlemen felt some uncertainty as to the prospect of getting it, and that a proposition to retain a lobby of one was carried. This shows that there is a limit even to the expectations of a ministerial league, although the limit is set very far away. To understand the ab- surdity of their position it is necessary to vo back to the origin of the present agita- the Mr. Wilson, character and Christian life tion. A minister, Rey. whose high would reflect credit on any church or com- munity, was fined for having solemnized a marriage between persons under age. I[n- stead of paying the fine and acdimitting that a minister had no business to marry people he knew nothing about, the ministers grew indignant and commenced agitating fora law which should clothe them with civil au- und divest them of civil responsi- They tionize the statute book than to require the thority bility. think it is better to revoln- clergy to exercise common prudence in the exercise of a delicate function, and they insist that marriage shall be made a purely civil matter, but that its fees and emoluments may still remain in the hands of the clergy. This is merely changing a bad law to sub- Our marriage law is not a very good one, but no serious difficul- tveither in legal or religious matters has resulted from it. In fact, the complaint against it now is not against any of its de- fects or inconsistencies, but against one conspicuous excellence of it, which is, that whenever any man, priest, or layman, for the mere sake of pocketing a fee, becomes an accomplice in all the evils which lie be- Shall be pun- ished. it ought to stand. Certainly it ought to Stand until we get something better than And under any circuinstances it is not advisable to change the ‘general statutes of the State for the mere convenience of a few clergymen who the proposed substitute. have shown their manner of making thein. ARE THERE PRIVATE RIGHTS:* The shameless perversion of law, the ut- ter prostitution of justice is strikingly illus- trated in the case of Mr. Walsh. It is time that the public attention should be called to the principle, precedent and practice involved in this case. It is time that the question be clearly answered, Are there any private rights left which.a news- paper is bound to respect? Or is there to _ the heartless sensationalism of the day? no line or limit reckless, [s it right to invade the sanctity of the home rand family to gratify a vicious taste for scandal? It is really difficult to imagine a case in which all conceptions of right and wrong were more completely discarded, and in which the itself has more completely the instrument of «a gross law become injustice and scandalous wrong. The pith of the case may be summed up in very few sentences. One morning, to the utter amazement of everybody, one of the morning papers had a long circumstantial and sensational story to the effect that Mr. Thomas Walsh was insane, and that his wife was preparing to put him into an asy- lum. Now Mr. Walsh happens to be one of the shrewdest and most successful men in this State. before, it If his mind was ever spoken of view to its remarkable strength, subtlety and shrewd- ness. There is no manin this State against whom such a charge ridiculous. The very day before it appeared Mr. Walsh wrote, in the editorial room of the Post-Disparcn, the excellent descrip- tion of the new Southern Hotel, which he will probably build. When we first read the sensational story, we thought it might be intended as a joke, thought it wretchedly cruel, and anticipated an editorial retrac- tion or apology. But instead of this the paper reiterated its statements the next day and aggravated them by the announcement was solely with would seem more that it was ready to prove them. Of course, Mr. Walsh sued for libel. nd now comes the most extraordinary e. Instead of a trial by judge and ysteacl of a defense by the newspaper ublic is treated to a lot of testi, before some obscure notary, Walsh seems to be on the de- wspaper is the plaintiff. If. ve that Mr. Walsh has at xd. Mr. Walsh is forced | themselves as unreasonable in | their demands as they are ill-tempered in | trouble and expense to show that he fs uot crazy, when there is not a man, woman or. child who knows Mr. Walsh at all who does not regard that charge as an incomprehensible outrage. And all this takes place under an infamous decision by which depositions are allowed to be taken before any notary with- out the slightest relevancy to law or logic or the merits of®the case the very moment any suit is filed. Is this right? Would it not be infinitely more decent for the journal in question to openly apologize? Is it not in the interest of decent journalism and the protection of private rights to protest against such con- duct? Even if Mr. Walsh had been treated by Dr. Hammond some years ago, even if the substantial points of the sensational story were true, as_ they undoubtedly are false, the publication of the article was an unwarranted violation of all decency— an encroachnent upon private rights. We are sarry that any journal in this city should have committed such an outrage. There are rights which even enterprising newspapers some personal and private should respect. THE GRAIN BILL.

Some New Facts About the Man Who Killed Manager Porter. {From the New York Sun. ] MARSHALL, ‘TRX., Mareh 50.—In justice to the good muume of this town and of Texas, it should be thoroughly understood that the drunken ruftian who killed Benjamin F. Por- ter ongMarch 19, and who will undoubtedly be hangeu for that murder in due time, is not a Texan, and that his crime is nowhere regard- ed with more detestation than in Texas. Jim Currie was born ip the county of Clare. on the banks of the Shannon, He was brought to the United States when abont ten years old. His parents settled in Dunkirk, N. Y., where he grew up. Going to Cincinnati, he got work as fireman on the Little Miami Railroad. At the beginning of the war he enlisted in Com- pany A (Capt. Fisher) of the Twelfth Ohio Volunteers. ‘Toward the close of the war he was promoted to be sergeant, and served on provost duty in Charleston, Va. After the war he returned to Cincinnati, but svon got work 2s a locomotive ¢ngineer on a railroad in Kansas. Not long afterward he quarreled with a manin Junction Ciiy and shot him dead. The killing of another man led him to go into the army as ascout, and he was with Custer on several expeditions. A few vears ago he killed «a brother of Capt. Fisher of the army, with whom he had served in Ellsworth, Kas. In the same town, in an affray ina disorderly house, he killed a Woman and twomen, and mortally wounded four other persons. He would have been lynched if a railroad friend had not smuggled him out of the State in his water tank, Currie’s head being barely out of the water. Currie resigned his commission as captain of a company of scouts and went to Memphis, where his career was equally bloody. From Memphis he came to Texas, and was eimploy- ed on @ railroad as engineer. He succeeded in exciting the employes there to a strike, for which he was discharged. Then he came to Marshall, and got work on the railroad here. That was about tive years ago. In a broil in Dallas he was shot in the neck by a young man whom he had insulted. In August, 1877, he wus epgineer.of a passenger train, but was taken off for disobedience. He was then em- ployed as a cletective by the company to hunt down the thieves who were plundering its cars and depots. Very few of bis arrests resulted in conyie- tions on account of his ignorance and self-im- portance. He would take no instruction from the company’s attornevs or officers. The night of the murder he cursed a one-armed person, but to his dismay he found that he had mis- taken his man, and he was made to retract every word he had said. Currie is now in jail to await the session of the grand jury, which meets in May, and which will undoubtedly indict him. It is thought that he will make application fora change of venue, but probably this will be re- fused. The feeling against him is not that of pe. but enly astern desire that he shall ve brought to justice. Nothing will prevent his having a fair trial, and as humane a hang- ing as our Sheriff can arrange for him. Mr. Barrymore’s wound is impreving. His wife arrived on Friday last. Miss Cummins leaves for home shortly. The whole company seem grateful for the treatment which they have received sinee the murder. Gini MORNING TELEGRAMS CONDENSED. FORELUN.

There were no neighbors for miles around, with the execption of a nephew of Motley, the historian, who had left his father’s pleasant home near Boston, Mass., and located a sheep ranch close by here. The Farrells cave u8 a most hospitable reception. We bade them good-bye late iu the afternoon, turned off to the right of Sheep Mountain, and, entering a narrow plain be- tween high ranges of hills, spurred forward our jaded animalss until the gathering shad- ows warned us that we could proceed no fur- ther with safety. At daybreak we spied a large flock of sheep in a corral close by a rude cabin or dugont, in which were two boys, sons of Mr. Farrell. Here, twelve miles or more from home, they bad been tending a flock of 2,300 sheep during the entire season. They shot their game with an old rifle, did their own cooking, and lived entirely alone with their dogs and two ponies employed in herdivg the sheep. They alter- nated in watching the sheep, which were driven into the corral every night, as rotection against bears, wolves, and other wild animals. AB antelope which one of them had shot the day previous was suspended near the doorof the cabin. There was a good range here, and the father had in the apring tinte sent the sheen and the boys to possess it. You will be surprised when I tell you that these lads, entrusted with the care of over 2,000 sheep, and living here in this remote, secluded spot, were only ll and 15% years of age. It is astonishing, the carly sel{-reliance which these frontier children display, and the skit whitch. as mere urchins, they attain in herding sheep. —— — — . Widow Oliver’s Lawyers.
