Tilt re bms been a very wide and deep inter- j
eet taken in the misunderstanding between
General Toombs and Mr. Stephens. Both
gentlemen have numberless friends all over
the State who deprecated the difference. The
reoonoiliation hat awakened a lively expres
sion of gratification with but one or two very
faint augge-Hiions of comment upon the
meagre explanation of the settlement.
From General Toombs himself, we have it
that the reconciliation was absolute, complete
and entirely honorable to both parties, and
that he authorized the statemert that he was
ready to maintain the honor, not only of him
self, but of Mr. Stephens in the transaction.
It was entirely unnecessary that the publio ! Ninth Congressional District to inform $on of your
should be admitted to the terms of the settle- unanimous nomtuatiea as tho Democratic candidate

felt the same affection for and confidence in! WJPayms,
each other as of old, and General Toombs
avowed his entire readiness and tAger desire
to be sponsor and champion of the integrity
of Mr. Stephens in the matter as his own.
We make this statement by his authority,
and we add on our own, that on both sides
the affair has demonstrated as punctilious an
honor and as brotherly a sentimental ever in

The nomination of Col. Milton A. Candler

Says the Macon Telegraph : ‘ Mr. Candler

people, the people of the State can trust
him.”
Says the Augusta Chronicle : “Mr, Candler
is a staunch and true man and will make a
splendid standard bearer for the Democracy
of the Fifth District. We have no doubt but
that be will be elected by a large majority."

PARTICULARS OF THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN
COL. MOSBY AND CAPT. PAYNB—MOSBY
ARRBSTFD AND BOUND OT11
IN $5,000.
{By Telegraph to the Herald ]
YTashington, August 21.—In a political dis
cussion in London, Va.. a few days since, a
difficulty arose between Capt. A. D. Payne
and Col. Mosby. This ledto a challenge from
Mosby to Payne, which was borne by. Ms. /as.
Barbour. Judge Keith, understanding that
th* Paynes aud Barbour were in consultation,
and knowing the animosity existing between
the former and Col. Mosby, ordered
the arrest of Gen. W. H. Payne, cousin to A.
D Payne, Judge Thomas Smith and Barbour.
Mosby left Warrenton aud came to Washing
ton by the cars, to await the acceptance of
the challenge. Payne left in a buggy, which
he abandonc d about six miles from Warren-
ton. Barbour having been arrested, the
acceptance was biought to Washington by
another party. After Mosby arrived here he
went to the house of John J. Barbour, and
remained for some time, but afterwards went
to the East Capitol Park, where he was in
consultaiton with Mr. Barbour and other
friends for some time, when they went to
Sanderson's for refreshments, and the Colonel
was nxrested by detectives.
Tbe challenge which Mosby had sent to
Payne was accepted, and the meeting ap
pointed to take place at Buckl rad, Prince
William .onnty, Va., this morning, the
weapons to be rifiles and the distance forty
paces. Immediately upon tbe arrest of Col.
Mosby, he was takan to the residence of
Judge Dawson, of the police court, and gave
bail in five tucusand dollars for his appear
ance tbis morning, and also gave bail in the
sum above named to await the requisition of
the Governor of Virginia, or to appear before
Judge Keith at Warrenton and enter reeogni-
zrace there. It is not known here where
Capt. Payne is. Col. Mosby leaves for War
renton this morning. This is regarded as the
end of the matter.
the cause of the difficulty.
Warrenton, Va., August 21.—It is known
that the affair between Mosby and Payne
grew out ot a certificate’ given Payne by H.
C. Bowen, setting out that Mosby had de
clared himself a candidate for Cougreas, and
desired the election of certain delegates from
Rappahannock township.
Mosby seat the challenge. Payne's second
was L S. Helm. The second of Mosby was
J unes Barbour. The place cf meetiug was
near Backhaul, Prince Willium county, Va ;
the time, 11 o’clock to-day; the weapons, i
nli Judge Keith secured the street ot
Mosby iu Washington, and prevented his fill
ing the appointment. Payne got on tba
ground wriiii great difficulty. All parties have
been or will be put uuder bonds.
CAPT. PAYNE ON THE OBOUND.
Alexandria. Va., August 21.—A Gazstte
special from Warrenton says that Capt. Payne
and his seconds were on the ground at noon
to-day to meet Col. Mosby, near Buckland,
but the latter was prevented from keeping his
appointment by his arrest in Washington, by
an order from Judge Keith. The affair will
not be permitted to go farther.
MOULTON-BEECHER.
“I Did Tell You Two Falsehoods.’
BEECHER SUED-
P AMACUMI *100.009
[BY TRLXOBAPH TO THE HKBALD. ]
Washington, August 21.—Moulton’s "state
ment is out and will probably take twenty
columns.
In a letter addressed “Dear Fransis,” and
signed “Wretchedly, Elizabeth," are these
words: “I did toll ^ou two falsehoods;” and
“you know I was obliged to be frank, and I
now say, rather than make others suffer as I
cow do, I most lie, for it is physically impos
sible to tell the truth.”
The document concludes by saying that
“this publication, to which Beecher forces
me, alter four years of constant and sincere
efforts to save him, it leaves him and Mrs.
Tilton in almost the same position in which I
found them, excepting in eo far as thsir own
late aisingenious untruthfulness iu their
solemn statements may lower them in the es
timation of the world. I reserve to myself
the right hereafter to review the statements
of Beecher iu contrast with the facts as shown
by the documents herewith subjoined, and
others which I have in my possession, the pro
duction of which did not seem necessary until
some portion of the published evidence de
manded contradiction. 1 *
Tilton's suit against Beecher for improper
relations with plaintiffs wife was commenced
to-day. The damages are laid at one hundred
thousand dollars.
The Argus reports that Beecher is about to
sue tbe World, Tribune and Eagle for libel.
The Beecher Committee will not be able to
report before next week.
Should there be anything in Moulton's
statement requiring an investigation, the Com
mittee will Lave to hold a call meeting and
examine whatever witnesses are required.
This of course will delay tbe report, which in
all likelihood will be ready before next Friday
night.

A EOMANTIC STORY T11014 INDIANAPOLIS.
[From the Chicago lnt.r-0c«es.]
Valparaiso, Ind., Aug. 10.
I met Dr. A. O. Stanton of this place tc-day,
and haring heard that be knew something
about Beecher's former life at Indianapolis, 1
sat down and questioned him. The Doctor is
a brother-in-law of the late Gov. Willard of
this State, and during the gubernatorial career
of the latter was quite intimate in the circle
iu which Beecher moved prior to his depart
ure from Indiunapols. Tne Doctor is also s
distant relative ol Mr. Stanton, husband of
Elizabeth Cady, and knows a good many ol
tbe parlies who have figured in the great eean-
dal.
Doctor," said I, “who is the lady men
tioned as having been intimate with Mr.
Beecher at Indianapolis?"
Doctor: Tbe lady was a Miss Bates, daught
er of Harvey Batee, an old resident of that
city. I
Correspondent: Do yon know the circnm
stances attending tbe alleged intimaoy?
Doetor: No; only as I heard it in the circle
ia which tbe parties moved.
Correspondent: Please give ths story as
told.
Doctor : Miss Bates was s member of Mr.
Beecher’s church, and was regarded as a very
lovely young lady. Like many others of her
sex, she became absolutely infatnated with
the great preacher, though he was then only
locally fantons. Whether this affection was
returned by Mr. Beecher or not I am unable
to say, and perhaps no one besides the parties
themselves actually knew of the facts, bnt
that it was a mutual regard was freely charged,
and they were often seen together. The story
also went that a criminal intimacy existed
between them, bnt, of eourse tins wss mere
supposition. Tho history of tbe affair if it
were folly told would be one of deep sadness
as well as intense interest. Miss Bates loved
onoe, and that love tilled her heart too com
pletely to ever permit another object to enter
there. Always a tegnlar attendant at cbnrch,
she seemed to drink in the words of the pastor
as though they were the waters of sternal
life. It wss the most complete, unbound
ed worship I ever knew. Oatwardly, how
ever, she rarely ever committed an indiscre
tion, and was seemingly the modest, sweet girl
she has always been. At last the summons
came from Mr. Beecher to go to Brooklyn.
The news of his determination saddened all
hit parishoners, bnt it froze Miss Bates into
a ststae. She mat Mr. Beecher once at least
sIodo after that. What passed ia not known,
but she came from the meeting with a faraway
look, an icy oalmness, a chadless, hopeless
expression that nearly broke the hearts of her
friends and gained the pity of all who saw her.
She never uttered a complaint; if Mr. Beecher
hud wronged her the secret was locked forever
in her own breast Tbe attempt to arouse her
to an interest in any other parson was useless,
and after a little it was abandoned. Sbe lived
on, sad, single and alone, until abom eighteen
months ago, I think, when she died. It was
a most melancholy case, bat whether Mr.
Beecher was to blame for it I am nnable to
say. There is personal magnetism aboat him
whioh makes him rrresiatable with most wo
men, and I do not doubt bnt that ho conld

Prosecuting Attorney; Frank Buskirk and one
Lawson are reported killed, and Dave tStrat-
ton and several others badly hurt. The en
tertainment took place in the public street,
and lasted sometime. As usual there was a
lady in the case.
The announcement of such a bloody trage
dy, in which three men were reported killed
and others wounded, caused a Herald corre
spondent to be despatched to the scene, to
ascertain what truth, if any, there was in the
above paragraph. After 300 miles of railroad
travel, the Herald representative arrived at
the capital of West Virginia, where he had to
procure a private conveyance to pr cetd
across the KanawLm Valley and the western
slope of the Alleghenies, a distance of sixty
miles, to the Logan Court-house, which is
situated close to tho eastern border of Ken
tucky. Afcer a most fatiguing and difficult
journey, having had several mishaps and a
great many obstacles to encounter by the way,
the reporter finally reached the reported
scene of
THE TRIPLE TRAGI DY.
Logan Court House, the seat of the county
of that name, hardly rises to the dignity of
even a counry village. It is located away
among the hills of the Gnyaudotte, complete
ly isolated and about sixty-five miles from the
mouth of that stream, which empties into the
Ohio, near Huntington. Besides the Court
House, wnich is a primitive structure a curi
ous specimen of architecture and very unpre
tentious iu its style, there are but lew other
houses in the place. These include the inev
itable country store and the blacksmith’s
shop, the dwellings being small rough log
and plank buildings, quite comfortable, how
ever, in their arrangements. Upon my arri
val I found the little community still in a fe
verish state of excitement over what I ascer
tained to be
A MOST BLOODY AND MURDEROUS RIOT,
having its origin in the alleged seduction of a
young andbaudsomo widow, a resident here,
in order to give a clear conception ot the af
fair, it will be necessary to state briefly the
circumstances of a murder that occurred here
as far back as 1870. Daring the month ot
May ot that year, the quiet mountaineers ol
thin county were startled by the intelligence
that a murder bad been committed in this
vicinity—a most cold-blooded, deliberate and
foul murder. Tho victim of this tragedy was
a well Known and esteemed youug man. a
storekeeper by profession, named Peter D.
Morgan, who wan singularly popular through
out the county, while the murderer was sup
posed to be one Urias* Brshkirk, a man of
exceedingly bad reputation, and who, owio^
to former difficulties and rencontres in which
he frequently used the knife and pistol, bad
to leave the country mid seek an asylum for
the time being in the West. Consequent up
on the murder was tho arrest of Bushk»rkon
the suspicion that ho had committed the
deed, aud this was almost confirmed beyond
the question of a doubt by developments that
followed. Unfortunately for Busbkirk he
had a very ’pretty, charming and
FASCINATING LITTLE MOUNTAIN WIFE.
with whom report went to show aud subse
quently facts to prove that Morgan had been
too intimate. It was during one of the peri
ods ol Bushkirk's involuntary exile tbut ’his
intimacy was begun, but so attached had Mrs.
Bushkirk became to the paramour that the
liason was continued af»er her husband s re-
tarn. Fora time th*. ill cit visits of Morgan
to the faithless wife were skilltuliy concealed,
bat at length they btcnme uugarded as to tbeii
meetings, and the knowledge of their mtir-
conse finally reached the enrs of tho husband
Bushkirk, who was a deperate man, aud aftei
tbis had been hear^to threaten to kill Morgan,
andjm the very evening of tLe murder he said
no snould not be surprised to hear ol Morgan’s
brains being blown out. It wits on that very
nigbt Morgan was at bis store as nsu»d, attend
ing to bis business, aud BiiHhk.rk was seen
in the neighborhood armed w. h a riflo. Mor
gan had served several^ of his oust »mt r-» and
was engaged in waiting upon a lady, standing
behind bis counter, when some one on the
out side, with teirible and deadly aim sent
a bullet crashing through the window and
THROUGH THE BRAIN OF MORGAN.
Almost simultaneously with the report of
the gnu tbe blood spuited from the wound
over the face of the lady Morgau. Morgan
fell to the floor a corpse, a crowd rushed to
the scene and the greatest excitement prevail
ed. A few moments alter this Bushkirt, with
the most importable coolness and delibera
tion, went to a doctor living Dear by and told
him ho had heard a gun go off' and ho should
be surprised if so e one was killed. Bush
kirk alter some trouble was arrested and
lodged in j til, but that edifice not being very
secure he found no difficulty iu escaping trom
it very soon after his incarceration, aucV he
remained away over two ye^rs. Ho returned
1872 mi showed himself publicly
in the neighborhood, when, as iu doty bound
the authoiities had him
RE-ARRESTED,
and a trial was had. Among the witnesses at
this trial was one It. B. Williams, a young
lawyer, who testified to some of tbe threats
Bnsbkirk had made against Morgan. The
jary, however, disagreed and his counsel
moved for a change of venue, and had his trial
transferred to Wayne county, where, after
several postponrments, it came off last March,
resulting in another disagreement of the jury.
Basbkirk was then released on bail and re
turned here, where he most opportunely in
terposed and prevented a great deal of blood
shed on Tuesday last. The only connection
this murder has with the affray of Tuesday
lies io the fact that the origin of each was
similar, the results nearly the same and some
of tbe principal characters figured in both.
ANOTHER WOMAN THE CAUSE.
Peter D. Morgan, who was murdered by
Bushkirk iu 1870, was r married man.
Besides being the seducer of Bashkirk’s wife
he was also, therefore, unfaithful to his mar
ried vows. His wife was quite youug aud
pretty, and, os a mountain beauty, was the
rival ef Mrs. Bushkirk in tbeir maiden da\s.
Tbis nvaltj’, which bad a cessation during
their early married life, was renewed when
tha one was a grass widow (by the dusution
ot her husband), tho other a widow indeed.
Both ot them began to lead fast lives, and
both had their respective tiain of admirers.
Among the admirers of Mrs. Morgan was 11.
0. Williams, now Prosecuting Attorney of
Logan county, with whom sho had an amour
of a considerable duration. Williams, it wili
be recollected, was one of the principal wit
nesses against Uiias Bu*hkiik for tho murdur
of Morgan. The fact of the intimaoy of
Williams with Mrs. Morgan having become a
matter of notoriety, it soon reached tbe «nrs
of her brother, Guy Lawson, who beeamo
fearfully incensed against William*, and he
resolved to call him to account for it On
Tuesday MoralDg last Guy Lawson met Wil
liams in the street, or rather Mad, near the
court-house. A renoountro had been looked
for between them and both wore armed, as
were also their friends on both sides, in an
ticipation of what is here designated
“LIVELY TIMES.”
Dawson confronting Williams, with his right
hand resting in au ominous way upon his hip,
said:~
“You, Tillian, you have debauched my sis
ter, and you’re a low-lived scoundrel aud a
coward."
drew tbeir pistol* and firing began. The
friends of both parties by tbis time arrived at
tho spot and an indiscrimminate lnsilade took
pla e. Frank W. Busbkick, a brother
of Urias Bushkirk, came to the aid
of Guy Lawson, aud ft brother of Williams
came to hia aid. In addition to thsse a num
ber of others rushed upon the scene, all of
them ready as occasion required to escape the
cause of either of the combatants. The af
fray by this time had reached its highest pitch,
and the yells of the combatants and tbe rapid
pistol shots, with the quickly changing posi
tions of the parties, made a spectacle long to
be remembered at Logan Court Mouse, li. C.
Williams shot and laid Guy Lawson Aor* du
eombat, while Frank Bushkirk shot and se
verely wounded both the Williams. Blood
flowed freely on all sides, and at one time in
the melee three ot tne principals were laid oat
in the street in a most terrible condition,
still tiring and fighting with the ferocity and
madntss of the most bloodthirsty savages.
Just at this juncture and when the fight bad
reached its mo»t bloody phase, Urias Bosh-
kirk suddeuly appeared on the scene, revol
ver in hand, accompanied by his wife, and
springing directly between the combatants,
shouted, “btop this! ’By G—d, I’ll kill tha
first man who fires a shot !” This had a
magical effect, and the belligerent spirit in
all parties at once subsided. Bushkirk was
highly commended for his action, as in a
moment more a host of friends on both
sides would have been involved, and several
lives might have been sacrificed.
THE CASUALTIES.
It was thought at first that both Williams
and LiWoon were killed outright, but that was
a mistake. Lawson was shot in the right
breast near the heart, and is not likely to
recover. Willi aids was shot under the left
eye, the ball pus'iug down into his mouth,
knocking cut in its course several of his
teeth. Williams' brother was shot in the left
leg; and a uau named Dargess was shot be
hind the left ear, bat the ball did not enter
the sknll.
Nearly all ot tbe parties have bet-n arrest
ed. I is slated that several oi them were un
der the influence ot whisky at the time of the
tight; but it is also feared the matter is so
complicated about the women, that the fond
may be renewed ut any lime by the lriends of
either party. The excitement still continues
here without a jot of of abatement since the
fight.

INTERESTING REMINISCENCE OF THE LATE WAR.
[Front tbe Atlanta Commonwealth J
The following affecting reminiscence is to
ken from the introductory chapter of Dr. Cra
ven’s Prison Lite of Jefferson Davis. It will
ba read, we hope, with tender interest by the
people of Atlanta, as the Gen. Walker referred
to is our honored citizen, Gen. W. S. Walker.
Our people are too ready to forget such ser-
vices a* were rendered by the heroes of our
Lost Cause. They should be held sacred as
the traditions of our fathers :
Late ono summer evening, hot, hungry,
dusty, thirsty, lired, exasperated, and full of
vengeful thoughts, I was riding down the
road from the bloody aud resultluss encounter
near Bermuda Hundreds, to where my field
hospital had been established. Saul journey-
iuu to Damascus, breathing out Uiretttenmgs
agiiiiS'. his enemies, was in to fiercer spirit.
Tue day b«d been oppressively warm, our
losseseuoimous, onr gams nothing; and worn
out with the labor and wretchedness ol super
intending the ieroov.il of ihe wounded, I was
cantering wearily but rapidly back to where
imny hundred sufferers, in ail stages of man-
glemeiit, lay awaiting the paiulul remedy of
the Liirgcon s art. Never before had tbe re
bellion, with its attendant horrors, appeared
so inhuman 10 my miud; and it the hot ha
treds of my soul could have taken shape in
words I would have exclaimed, addressing the
Confederates under Beauregard:
‘•Oc, that each slave had forty thouaand live*.
Una is poor, too weak for my reveugc : **
Hail way between the battle-field and my
hospitals, I overtook four of our boys in blue,
uuder a corporal, tenderly carrying to the
rear a stretcher on wai«h Ly a wounded
rebt 1.
Sjuiething tempted me to halt and dis
mount. God fotgive me if it was a desire to
assure myself that all the suffering was not on
our aide. It so, tne unworthy feeling was ol
brief duration; for no sooner, throwing the
reins to uiy orderly, did I stand beside tbs
litter and g«ze upon ths pale, pinened features
of the wounded man, tnau all prompting ot
patriotic hatred vanished, and there was
nothing leiL yx my existence but the deep
overwhelming sympathy ot ths medical man
lor a patent needing aid to call huu back
from death.
He noeUed aid, indeed. Hi* let t arm w&»
shot through; Lis right itg waa suatteied ana
badly mangled above the ankle; his hip was
torn by the full of his hor.-e, and life appeared
last ebbing away. In his horse, by tue way,
as it tell uuder uim, there were sixteen bul-
ietf*. Ho had ridden right in on top of !h.
Gth Conn regiment, and our boys had given
him what we call a “blizzard.''
“My poor man,” I said, “you are wounded
near y unto death. ”
“I feel it,” he faintly replied. “I am Gen.
Walker, of Beauregard’s corps. Lst me rest
somewhere, und dictate sums last words to
my wife aud commander.
Where was my hatred now ? Whers ths
first thiist of retribution that should havs
looked on this unfortunate’s agony &• a jast
j adgmen ?
Giving him some brandy from a posket-
flask, I told the corporal in ch rge to earn
aim to my 7 own tent, next General Gdmsre’r
bead-quarters at Hatcher’s House; and hastily
scribbling a line to iny hospitable steward,
“lake charge will bo with you soon.” 1
remounted and galloped off to the sickening
ounces always presented in a field hospital
after a severe engagement.
It was midnight, or some little later, befjrt
my duties to the hundreds of our boys would
allow me to visit the sufferer iu my tent.
His case needed immediate amputation of the
lower leg, and there was no sufficient light
for perloriniug the operation.
“fear down that suaoke-house and kindle
a big bongre,” was my order. “We mast get
light somehow, and quickly, or this man will
die. He is seven-eights on his way to death
already."
Never before had I been bo painfully
anxious. The leeling arose, no doubt, from
an instinctive consciousness of my uoprofes
sionul thoughts, or half thoughts, when first
halting beside his litter. The man had to bu
saved, or au unhappy recollection wonld
hauut mytlife. No appliance that care or
skill could furnish must lie wanting. It has
been against Beauregard all day that my an
ger had been especially kindled. I recall our
first deteat at Bull Hud. Was I alvraw to wit-
deteat when opposed to this enemy ?
And it was against Beauregard and all belong
ing to him, that day, while contest lasted, that
the imprecations of my soul, if not uttered,
had been most vehemently felt.
But here now was a military part of Bean-
regard—ono of his eyes or arms—over whom
l yearned 11s if with a brother’s sympathy.
My business was to heal the wounded, not to
wound. By what right had I indulged tbe
vengeful thoughts which filled my breast when
fir»t meeting on tho road this shattered human
wreck?
Tho bonfire was soon blazing, and before
tho operation commenced—as a fiapyy result
could scarce bo hoped—I procured an amaa-
n**nr:i for O ineral Walker, to whom he hur
riedly dictated two letters. They were fare
wells to bis Wife aud General Beauregard.
Will the loyal world think worse of me, if 1
confu-s, (hat while hearing (ha few feeble
whi per* iu which tbis wounded rebel ,eom-
ranmeated to a strange soldier of the hostile
force what he expected to be his last words"on
earth—his iuat messages to the Commander
he reverenced, and the Wife he w»h to see no
mure—I found an unusual moisture making
my sight uncurtain ?
General Walker, however, was not destined
to die. By the flickering light of the bonfire
and with the aid of Surgeons Janeway and
Bozelle, the amputation was successfully per
formed, and hia other wounds properly dress
ed. He remained ot oneo my guest aud pa
tient until sufficiently restored tor safe trans
fer to the General Hospital at Fortress Mon
roe, sod is now hopping around the earth
somewhere, Myths and hearty on the lef that
le left him.
