Array Between Garnblers.


The Chicago Times says: A shooting af-
fray occurred in front Of the Varieties Thea
IRE a few evenings since, between two we'll
known gamblers named David Stanton and
James Leary. The former is q permanent
resident Of Chicago, and the latter, II is said,
halls from Memphis. They had been engaged
in a friendly contest Of skill' in the gambling
robins located in the Varieties building, and
there dispute arose concerning the wager.
The precise nature Of the dispute could not
be ascertained at the time, but il is repre-
sented to have been Of very trivial nature.
From the gambling room Stanton and Leary
proceeded 10 the street and seated them
selves on some barrels in front of an adjoin.
ing saloon.
Here they discussed their differences for
some time, in frame Of mind which did not
appear to threaten serious consequences.
Finally Leary took from his pocket re-
volver, quickly presented IL to the head Of
Stanton and fred. The latter, as soon as he
saw the weapon, attempted to evade the
shot, and partially succeeded by dropping his
head, and by some unaccountable and mex
plicable process placing himself in such q
position that the ball struck Just over the
left eye, glancing upwards, and only pro-
ducing flesh wound. Stanton, surprising
himself to be mortally injured, rushed into
saloon near at hand, and exclaimed, "Tm
fxedW words which, when interpreted, con-
veyed the idea that he was MORALLY wounded.
After his head had been examined by a
physician, and it was ascertained that be was
not after oil in n critical condition, he be-
came imbued with spirit Of retaliation, and
in an excited frame Of mind sought for the
man who attempted to take his life. Leary,
as soon as he had committed the bloody
deed, walked leisurely away, and was found
by Stanton on Washington street, opposite
the Opera House. A scene here presented
itself which beggars description. The wound.
ed man, covered with blood, and with the
crimson fluid streaming from his forehead,
furiously assailed his fellow-gambler and
would-be assassin. With one terrible blow
he felled Leary to the pavement, and then
continued his blows with renewed fury, finally
eliminating the furious assault by jumping
into his face with his heels, and mutilating
the body and face of his opponent in shock
ing manner. Had not the bystanders inter-
fered, it is believed that Leary would have
been xii on the spot, SO great was the
rage and so blind the fury Of the maddened
man who was beating him, After the second
phase of the ARRAY Stanton was placed under
arrest and taken to the armory.

Respect for the Cloth!

We have an old friend who has been
brought up strict church member, says the
Union Democrat, and when we get after the
masked Mokannas-the veiled prophets Of
Abolition who disgrace the sacred cause
of religion by demon worship in the DEVILS
pulpits-the old gentleman sometimes re-
monsrates, and gently urges more respect
for the cloth. Respect of the cloth! We
have profound regard amounting to veneer.
alton for the pure and holy man who preach
es peace on earth and good will to men-the
religion of Christ, simple and undefiled.-
But for the coIdb|ooded hypocrite and black
hearted scoundre who vociferates blood and
murder, clad in the garb of sancity, and
graspng with polluted hand the Book Of
Eternal Life, we have supreme and mex
pressible contempt. Such monument ofhu
man depravity fills our minds with uncon
querabe adherence. Like vice, to be hated
he needs but to be seen, and it is labor of
duty and love with US TO show him up in his
true character. Respect for the coth!-
What! when it is bedraggled with the filth
and slime of the cutters and rank with the
pestilential odors Of the sinks of iniquity!-
Look around you, old friend, and take heed
of passing events Witness the fruits of
pulpt prostitution in the dishonesty, ;centi-
business and decentralization of the times.
Scan the criminal calendar, and turn shud'
derng!y away from the lying catalogue Of
diaboical crimes embracing rape, seduc.
ton, fornication, robbery aud murder-of
which these ministers of hell have been pro-
ven guilty in the sight Of God and man.
Respect the CLOTH AS we'll ask US to respect
the highwayman, who, clothed in priestly
robes, put pistol to our head and takes the
last dollar of life Of toll. With the same
propriety demand us to respect the man
who, in the sacred name Of friendship steals
into the family circle, to blast and destroy
its honor andAhappiness, 1t is monstrous
wrong to preach of such thing. Fiendish
wretches have stolen the livery of heaven,
have prostituted the Cross Of Christ, have
sold themselves to the Prince of Darkness,
and are doing bis work on earth. Their
souls are warped and blackened with sin and
crime. Worse than ghouls that live off
the human bodies of the graveyard, these
debauched parsons would Danish peace from
earth, make a pandemonum here for their
master the Devil to revi in, and wreck the
souls salvation of their of their delud
ed worsbippers in the world to come.
Base, hollow hearted miscreants, scorn and
hate are feeble words to express our utter
detestation of the infamous class Could we
bave our way, they should end their earthly
career with a sudden jerk, and join John
Browns soul in its march to abolition glory.
1t would be blessing to mankind to Gu; off
at once, root and branch, the whole vile tribe
of political preachers

The Cattle Plague.

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
furnished Congress with brief history ot
the cattle plague, which is officially declared
to be identical with the rinderpest and with
the murrain Of 1845. 1t is shown that in
1862 it destroyed $4,000 of the 296, 900 cat'
tie attacked in the Austrian domnions. In
1868 it overran Hungary and other Austrian
dependencies, killing 65 to SO of those at
tackled by it, The Commissioner reports
that France, BY prompt action extirpated the
disease last Autumn with the loss Of 43 cat
tie, and afterward, when introduced into the
Paris Jardn d'Acclimation, it was again ex.
trpated with the loss of 35 animals.
In England its increase is reported as con-
stanty accelerating, numbering IL 900 cases
in November, 10000 in December, $4,000
at New Years, 10000 the last Of January,
and l77,6s9 the last Of February, at which
time the number which died was 1l3, 3,2l7,
killed 2O,958, recovered 23,769, and unac-
counted for 1876. Of the herds exposed
the number attacked was at first A per cent;
the number which died was in November 43
per cent, and at the last Of January 60 per
cent; but the number killed, which was 36
per cent. in November, was but 13 per cent.
in January, and in November per cent. re-
covered, and in January ! per cent. The
English cattle are found less capable of re-
sstance to The disease than the Dutch. No
reliable specific or mode Of treatment is re'
ported. A copy Of the new cattle plague
law of England is communicated, and Con.
gress is appealed to for law under which
vigorous measures could be applied in case
of its introduction into this country.

LOYALTY AND DIsLoYALrY. - The New
York Commercial Adoertiser an able, intell,
gent and dgnified Republican journal, re'
marking on the late Connecticut election,
says: at is not 'disIoyaI' to differ from Mr..
Johnson, though it used to be held so to differ
from Mr.. Lincoln. This is clear illustra-
ton that the case being altered, that alters
the case for year ago differing from the
President was 'treason'-now it is patriot.
ISM The loyal people should have been
wiser in their generation than to allow this
point to be taken against them. Had they
possessed any toeration and had they not
been governed by mad frenzy, says the Noun
tain Democrat, they would have seen that
the epthet, so freely flung around by them
would, like curses. come home to roost.'" :"
The Sacramento Union and its satellites of
the interior urged loyal mobs to insult Dem
ocratic newspapers for questioning the wis
dom of the policy of The President, now
these intolerant and venal and sIavish sheets
villify them for sustaining the President
They insisted upon slencing and imprison-
ing all disloyal persons; how would they like
a dose OF their own medicine?

The Trial of Civilians by Military Conn
missions UNCONVENTIONAL.

We have already called attention to the
fact that Chief Justice Chase, of the United
States Supreme Court, has given the decision
in the Indiana case of Milgan, Horsev, and
Bowles, that they arc entitled to be discharg,
ed, and that the Commission had no iuris.
dction to try them. The effect of this de,
is "to make null and void the verdcs Of
many Others of these unconstitutional, half
military, half civil courts; bit 1t cannot re-.
call to life those who hare been illegally exe
cu'ed. 1t will, however, lead 10 the release
OF the assassination conspirators now on the
Dry Tortugas; and as the Constitution for
bids that citizen shall be twice put in jeo
pardy Of life or limb for the same offence,
they will probably escape all further punish
ment OF course the decision Of the SUI
preme Court will silence the senseess clamor
for the military trial of jeff. Davis and other
rebel leaders, and if they are tried at all it
will be under the Constitution and laws
There nerer has been any justification for
these military trials. The Constitution ex.
pressy secures trial by jury, except in cases
arising in the land or naval forces, or in the
militia, when in actual service, in the time Of
decided, where the condemned attempted to
organize resistance to the draft, this ex.
ception might have been stretched to cover,
if any; if not that. it will touch none Of the
many civil trials by military commissions
during the war;"
That the War Department, under the con-
troll of Edwin Nj. Stanton, should have per-
sisted in proceedings so manifestly in violal
tion Of the Constitution, as every intelligent
lawyer and citizen knew at the time, is evil
dence that this officer and his political allies
intended 10y their despotic acts, not only to
damage their political opponents, but, by
undermining the Constitution to lay strong
and deep the foundations of their own pow.
er. Thousands of men have been cruelty
wronged by the infamous system, and hun.
dreds have been put to death under it with
no more color of law than the assassin
Booth had to take the life of Lincoln
While we rejoice in the vindication of the
law, we cannot forget the crimes that Stan
ton and his organized corps of law. breakers
have perpetrated. 1t is not becoming that
this man Stanton should remain in connec.
tion with Government he has disgraced.

discovery at the head Of Capel valley, about
fifteen miles from that place, ledge Of white
quartz, in which are small cavities containing
petroleum-a spoonful or so in place, here
and there imbedded in the solid rock. A
company, called the Aadin petroleum
company, has been formed for the purpose
of prospecting. Not long ago quicksilver
was discovered in the same vicinity, in it's,
fluid condition, imbedded in quartz. Nature
must be suI ject to spasms in that region.
