E. li. M Ult It AY, Editor. THURSDAY, J?NB21, 1883. ONE V KAU.SI .no. SIX MONTHS. 7?**. I r.o Dollar? ir uni pnld lu advance. The acquittal of the defendant* in the Star Route cases is no surprise lo the country, though il alfords the occasion for the most intense disgust to nil citizens who appreciate or desire the integrity of judicial proceedings in the United Slates, j That the defendants were guilty had ful- i ly inpressed itself upon the public mind, by the testimony as taken in tlio trial : and published in thc picas ol thc couti- : try. Un tho iirsl trial of this case, tho ?dry Iniled to agree, showing that lhere j was sufficient evidence to cause a doubt upon their minds, and in ibo subsequent trial, which has just ended, one of the defendants turned State's evidence and testified positively and With circumstan tial demonstration of the truth (d' his evidence. In addition to all this, the testimony of Hcrcdell, thc testimony which hung the lirst jury, was also offered, and lhere seemed to be no possible doubt as lo thc guilt of thc defendants. Thc government and the prisoners were ably represented by counsel, and thc trial has been progressing for several months, nt great expense to thc government. Tho end is a most shameful perversion of justice, and can only be explained by the fact that it was necessary for the Repub lican party to secure the acquittal of the defendants. Thc public attention was directed to tho Star Route Irauds, ami in response to a demand for the punishment of lie guilty, tho administration institu ted the prosecutions with much pomp and display, but very great care has uren taken to secure their acquittal. It is a fair sample of a Republican administra tion of justice. The Democratic party never bsd a better prospect of success in a presiden tial election than it now has for 1884. Hut two dilliculties at present appear. Thc first is the trouble that always at tends thc selection of candidates, and the reconciliation of disappointed aspi rants, in New York John Kelly is always an uncertain quantity, caring more for his own power than for tho suc cess of any political party, and giving his influence lo whichever party promises him the best reward. In Indiana Messrs. McDonald and Hendricks do not speak, and their friends have taken up their quarrel. In Pennsylvania Sen ator Wallace and ox Speaker Randall are unfriendly, an minor diff?rences exist iu various puts of thc Union. These differences between men, however, always exist, and are not more serious than arc usually found in all political enmpaigns. They ure noi likely to count much in the coming canvass. Thc serious difficulty in the caso is tho posi tion whieh the party i.i to nssume on the turill' question. There is no doubt that the mass of tho Democratic voters of the country are opposed to a protective (uriff, and the party will lose much of its pres ent advantage by failing to adopt a posi tive, clear and unmistakable resolution in favor of a tariff for revenue only. Thc outrageous system of robbery of the many for the benefit of tho favored few is becoming moro and moro obnoxious to the great mass of the people, who ure annually called upon to contribute mil lions of dollars lo enrich tho already opulent manufacturers of New England. If the party should fail to take n clear and explicit stand upon this issue, it will sacrifice tho respect and confidence of thousands of its warmest adherents. Tho Republican party is the party of protec tion, and it will poll tho muss of the votes of protectionist.*. The Democratic party can only hold the an ti-protection vote by reiterating its opposition to pro tection. It will not be enough, however, to declare for a tariff for revenu? only. The Democrats must nominate candi dates who are and have been opposed to the doctrines of protection. If the National Convention shall be fortunate enough to secure good candidates upon a tariff for revenue platform, it ?B nlraost certain that the Dem?crata will control the next election, and by that means rulo the government for years to come. THU GREKNVIIXE SHOOTING AFFRAY. The iVrics of Saturday contains the following about the parties to tho shoot ing affray ir that place : Public sentiment fully sustains Mr. Kay, and he received many wann en dorsements of hin action. Mr. Floyd's wound is certainly a serious ouo, and his condition waa not so favorable yesterday morning for a timo, but ho Improved and was doing very well nt a Into hour last evening. It. will bo impossible to any for some days yet what will be tho result of his injury, as tho wound ts dangerous ly situated, and poritonitis might set in, which would bo fatal. If this dauger ia safely passed he will uo doubt recover. Mr. Davis's wound ls ia good condition, j and with tho careful attention it ls re ceiving ho will bo out again In a few days. Mr. Kay has many friends in this County who regret the occasion for tbe shooting exceedingly, but every one entirely approves his conduct.

A ?.KLT.N VILLI: SCANDAL. Thc Kum ol a Young Citri ami a Shout I li); A (Tray Ilot n ern lin- Filth? r anti n> i ll?-t raj er. (JKKI:Nvii.i.K, .June l l. A shooting I ..crape occurred in this city about ll j j o'clock today, tin' preceding and alton- ' j dant circuinstanced of which embrace a ! ind and shameful story. Humor lias ! lilied the air foi several days psst ol thc seduction of a sixteen-year old I daughter of .Mr. L. W. Kay, constable lor Trial .lustico Croft, by L. Washing- : ton floyd, a young merchant broker, for- 1 morly of Newberry, and ol nu impending hostile meeting between the seducer and 1 thu lather of lin- ruined girl. Confer- : enees were had at which Floyd made a Hat and positive denial ol'nut ami all ol thc fads alleged, and avowed thc report a slanderous falsehood originating with M. 1?. Harrison, a young mau who had previously been paying attention io Miss Kay. l loyd and Harrison were brought face to face yesterday morning, when Harrison repeated and assorted to he : true what lie had previously Mated, ?lamely, that he had several nights ugo seen Floyd take Miss Kay to his room in the M HU ld i ll building, where he remain ed closeted willi lier lor some lime. Floyd thereupon culled Harrison a liar, and immediately pistols wire drawn. Harrison was in thc uci of firing when his hand was caught and a tragedy pre vented. Thc seduction was stoutly de nied by Miss Kay, and her irate falber was ijuite ut a loss to know whom to call to account. The whole truth came to light last night, however, by a full and detailed confession from the git I to lier parents. The story reveals (lie premeditated and fully planned and finally accom [dished ruin of thc unfortunate girl, who is the poHsesHor of rare beauty ard against whose fair name nothing has ever before been said. About two weeks ago, according to Miss Kay's account, she was taken out for a buggy lido by Floyd. When they bad reached the top of Caris Mountain, live miles from town, the buggy was left and shu was induced to stroll amid the cool recesses and ra vines of thc mountain. Hollies of wine had Leen provided hy Floyd, and thc victim of Iiis paci?n was induced to im bibe until she was well under the tollu "nee of the wine. They returned to the city about 1? o'clock that night. Since then thc inveiglement ol thc girl into the room, ns told by Harrison, is alleged to havo occurred. About 11 o'clock lo day, in above stated, Mr. Kay, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Slr. IL <>. King,repaired to Floyd's office, in tho rear part of the store of Lipscomb, Kussell .S: Co., on Main street. Kay made a formal de mand upon Floyd thal he should at once marry his outraged daughter. Floyd made a positive refusal and the shoot ing begun. Floyd, in anticipation of what was coming, had a cocked pistol in his hand in his cont pocket mid fired as Kay was drawing Iiis pistol from his hip pocket. The firing was in quick succes sion. Floyd firing tiiree times and Kay twice. Kay's second shot took effect in Floyd's right side, and a third shot from Kay's pistol, which would doubtless havo proven fatal, was prevented by the sci/.uro of Kay's hand and pistol by oth er? present. Kay was not hit. Floyd's second shot penetrated thu right arm of Mr. T. W. Davis, who was standing probaby twenty feet oil', causing a pain ful wound and a slight fracture. Thus tho shooting occurred, thc impression on all present being that Floyd was proba bly fatally wounded. Ho was taken tn a room and afterward? on a litter to the Exchange Hotel, where his wound was treated by Dr. T. T. Karie. Thc hall, which was from a :io' calibre Smith A Wesson revolver, penetrated the right sido of the abdomen, being a slanting shot, and came out about eight i lichen from thc piuco it entered. Ita range wat probably not deep enough into tho body to penetrato thc peritoneum. Although its course cannot bo precisely ascertain ed, no serious results aro anticipated Mr. Kny, believing he had killed his au tagon ist, surrendered nt once to Sherill QUreath. He was held hut a abort time however, ami wai released as soon as il was known that Floyd's wound was aol considered fatal. The affair created in tense excitement, which has continu?e most of tho day. Public sentiment ami sympathy are entirely with Kay and hil family.-Disjtatch to the New? ami Cou vier. _ A Fine Lot of Immigrants. Nearly all of thc 760 Irish immigrant! who arrived on Monday by the Auchen Line ste..~er Holgravia left this city last evening. Those who remained worn c few single girls for whom situations had boen provided in New York. These im migrants, who were assisted in reaching thia country by n grnnt of $25 each fro?? the llriii?h government, form one of ii number of parties which are being seul to America. They belong to that dasi of Irish who have no land, but work nt day laborers. The women and youngei mcmbors of these hun ilion have also been accustomed lo labor, aud thu ofliciala at Castle Garden say that they are indus trious and thrifty people. Superinten dent Jackson considera them nn excel lent class of immigrants. There aro among them 127 hcuds ol families and 407 children. This shows that sumo of tho families must be large, and a Times reporter who visited Castle (?arden yesterday to see the new comers beheld some mothers surrounded by ten children each. Some of tho people brought over their parents and there were seven persons among them over seventy years of age, but these will all find homes awaiting them in America. Forty-eight of the immigrants were un married. Tho proportion of children was somewhat larger luau Superinten dent Jackson liked, but he did not think there was any valid objection against them. The greater number of them had letters to relatives or friends on this side of the Atlantic, by whom they have been encouraged to come over. Last yeat the British government endeavored io make arrangements with owners of largo mills here to tak.i large batches of people, but Superintendent Jackson was averse, to the plan and did all he could to discour age it. He did not wish to take peoplo ?rho came here on sp?culation. Some time ago the agent who was hero hut year sent a message to the Superintend ent asking him whether he would take 1,000 peoplo, and he answered no. Ho was induced yesterday to think that these new arrivals were a part of the 1,000. The immigrauts were all well provided with mouey iii the shape of drafts on the Anchor Line, payable after they had Btarled away from ibis city. All were furnished with through tickets to their destinations, They all come from Kerry, and nearly all are going to Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Three or four go to Ottawa, Canada. They were unusually well dressed for imrai ?rants, and were all in excellent health, 'he Board of Poor Guardians of their County in Ireland examined them all before permitting them to start, and none' were allowed to come who were not con sidered to be excellent immigrants, They all .speak English well, and, aa they are going to meet friends, except those who are already employed, they will not become burdeos in any way. Superintendent Jackson considered them very much better than the Italians who momo to America in such numbers.-AV ic York JXmet, June 12. - The boom io Confederate securities continues at Richmond.
