OUR CITY.-We are panied that the
good name Of our city should be made IL
suffer by the crimes that have been com.
mitted within the last week. Our city
seems to be infested by a band of des.
peradoes, to whom a few dollars is a sui
ficient temptation to murder. How this
is TO be prevented We can scarcely tell
They do not seem to be professional
thieves, for whatever we have heard O
their attempting to housebreak. the iol
has been bunglingly done, and by Nc
means such an act as marks the expert.
enced thief. Various remedies will sug.
gest themselves to a rejecting mind
among which it may be possible to selec'
an available one.
When a stranger is found loafng abau
the streets without visible means of SUP
port, he ought to be made to account fol

citizens. The trial Of Hutchinson, YES
terday, attracted q larger audience than
any trial eve held in Galveston. There
was a great determination among citi-
zens, who spoke Of the matter. to defend
themselves. We were for a short time
at the establishment of one who deal.
largely in pistols, and have seldom seen
them sell so rapidly, even in Confederate
times.-Gn{uestOa Bulletin.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-Jane, n negro
woman, took laudanum Ons Monday
| night for the purpose of committing sui
eide, which intent DIR. Victor Friedman
frustrated. The poor woman was rem
dered desperate by the charms of a rival,
who had seduced her hearts delight
| from his duty.
STILL MORE OF IT.-Among the des-
perate things done on Monday night was
the assault of two rufians upon a gentle
mai near the residence of Mr.. w. Rich
ardsOn, editor of the Galveston News.
Two shots were fired by the miscreants,
who fled on discovering that their victim
was not Mr.. Richardson.
OUTRAGES ON MONDAY NIGHT.-A
negro house, down near the camp of the
forty-eighth Ohio, was broken open on
Monday night-a couple ~Ofnegroes beaten
awhile and fired at for running away.
At least this is the statement made tothe
Freedmen's Bureau. 1t seems that some
soldiers were out hunting for a man who
had stolen a ~dTay-that the man usually
boarded at the house, but was not then
there. The matter will be investigated
by Capt. Morse of the Bureau.
ANoTHER.-A gentleman, whose name
we did not learn, was attacked near his
own front gate by two men, one of whom
presented a pistol and demanded lis
money. He Knocked the pistol from his
assailant's hand-it went off on striking
the ground, and the rascals ran away.
ANOTHER HACK DRIVER ROBBED
On Monday night another hack driver
was engaged to drive out' toward the
beach, and when out in a sequestered
spot robbed Of all he had, some twenty
five or thirty dollars, the rascals even
taking his shoes.
STILL ANoTHER.-One of the Tioga's
crew was shot in the head on Tuesday
night, in a saloon, by a citizen. He was
taken on board the ship. We have I'M
derstOod that the wound was probably
fatal. No arrests have rs yet been
made.

The FFls5asters Nm Hold Bagded-
CortiHn to Tdbs Comnlead-Lf5eYals
Defeated al V2achuGso.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. c. B.
Black, purser of the steamship Crescent,
we are in possession Of the Matamoras
Rt4aehero, Of the seventeenth. The fol-
lowing paragraphs from that paper con
tsin the latest from Bagdad.
We ~eonversed with several passengers
who left Bagdad yesterday morning.
They reported nothing of Importance.
Bandit CoTtina, with a force of forty
men had arrived at ClaTksvilie. II was
understood that he was going TO take SUI
creme command at Bagdad.
There are two separate commands in
Bagdad-one under Colonel Lyon, OF the
Federal army, and the other al outlaw.
We were told that only by the two COM
mands keeping a Jealous watch on each
other was there order in the sacked city.
War vessels were in the otfing to the
number of three, one havingl left the day
before, southwark bound.
We have assurance that the fillibusttrs
and outlaws continue to quarrel among
themselves, and that most of them are
thoroughly discouraged. The prospect is
| GOOD for a general breaking up of the
| 1nholy alliances and combinations which
keep this frontier in constant alarm.
The RaRcherO discusses this question
! editoriallv, and thinks the scheme was
set on foot by officers oR the Texas side.
The Rancher0 is bitterly hostile 20 the
| United States Government, however,
and allowance must be made for that, in
estimating the importance Of its views.
Hear what it says:
It may be due to the truth Of history
that it should be known who did the
| pillaging and numbering at Bagdad. To
| settle that question we would inquire
/ where the outlaws and f~illibusters were
when it took place? They were not at
GAINESVILLE, nor Bagdad, and knew moth
ing Of what vas going on. We are well
advised that Crawford, EscobSdo, Cortina,
and all of them, were taken as much by
! surprise as We're we of the Heroic City,
when hearing the news. In fact,
none Of the leading land pirates would
believe il at frst-n0t until il vas mat
ter Of public notoriety. The few second
fiddle thieves that happened to be al
| GAINESVILLE, las, indeed, where are not
some of them all the while . took hand
in the affair. 1t was concocted and per-
petrated by officers of the United States
army, and the negroes were used by
them for the work. The negroes crossed
and recrossed under orders. There was
no such thing as a revolt among them.
At all events, this is ourconclusion, after
talking with twenty or thirty eve wit
nesses to the whole affair-after ascer-
tanning the whereabouts and movements
! of the outlaws and fllibusters at the timt
after a%seertaining that the proceeds o
pillage went into the hands of Fedora
officers.
From the Spanish side of the Ranchert
we translate the following:
The chiefs Lundes and Paramo have
been routed and killed at Cuitzeo de Is
Laguna by forces raised and equipped by
two estate owners in the neighborhood
The Imperialist forces of the Piedad en-.

TIE CHOLERA.-The Bermuda Gazette
states that the cholera IS still raging at
Guadalupe, IN the West indies; The
epidemic Is quite malignant and il is
feared that it will travel still further
westward, as the West India Islands are
strung along very closely together.
Porto Rico, which is a large island, is not
far distant from Guadaloupe, then comes
Hayti, tbsp Cuba, which latter island is
only a short distance from the Southern
point Of Florida. The isisads mentioned
are the chief ones comprising The West
India. chain-A large number Of minor
islands living between. There is, there
fore. some ground for apprehension in
connection With this news. It was hoped
mat the AtlaDtic Ocean you'd prove a
buIgzaTk that would stop the disease but

and again taiasg pp its westward march.
There Is one fact ia this report hat de-
sarves attention. It is positively ststsd
thar 6iae Destilenee was introduced into
the Island BY e Marseiiles vessel. If this
statement is correct, ii refptes the theory
that has generally obtained credence in
this country respecting the nontranspor-
table nature Of cholera.

I that if he would be satisfied with consti-

suffrage, repudiating rebel debt, and
guaranteeing National obligations, they
would make an effort to bring the party

ing of even the slightest apprehension as
to the result. He constantly refers TO
I" the people, with a manifest conviction
that public sentiment is overwhelmingly
on his side and that, in the event ofany
difference between himself and Congress
on these points, the party and the coun-
try viii be sure to sustain him.
I do not believe there is any evidence
whatever that the President has made a
single step toward the employment ofhis
patronage as a means of enforcing his
views. Members Of the Cabinet expressly
deny that anything of the sort has ever
been suggested to them; and the only
cases l have been able 70 discover out OF
which the runners have grown, have been
those in which ambitious and superser-
viceable assistant secretaries have under
taken to lay down rules for which they
had no authority.
Whatever may be the possibilities Of
a breach between the President and his
party, frankness and fair dealing is not
likely to increase them. It is in this
spirit he has discussed with members OF
Congress; and it is for the reason that
the country deserves the same treatment
that / have written.
