Mr.. LINCOLN on CARPET BADGERS. What
President Lincoln thought OF political adven-
'ursrs, known as carpet haggers, from other
states 10 the South, awaiting themselves of the
abnormal state of things there 10 obtain the
offices, may be seen from the following:
"EttcWtire -IanSi0n, Washington, November
u, lSt2.-Dear Sir: DR.. Kennedy, bearer of
this, has some apprehension that Federal
officers not citizens Of Louisiana may be set
up Us candidates for Congress in that State.
III my view, there could be no possible object
10 such an election. We do not particularly
need mem ers of Congress from these States
10 enable us 10 get along with legislation here.
What we do want is the conclusive evidence
that respectable citizens OF Louisiana are will
ing 10 be members OF Congress and TO swear
support Ia the Constitution, and that other
respectable citizens there are willing TO vote
for them and send them. To send parcel of
northern men here as reprcsen tatives, elected,
AZ would be understood tand perhaps really
SOL 1T The point Of the bayonet, would be dis
graceful and outrageous; and were ! q mem
Der of Congress here l would cast my vote
against admitting any such man 10 a seat.
Yours, very truly, a. LINCOLN.
"HOn. &. +. Shepley."
1t viii be recollected that Louisiana was
practically reconstructed at an early day
under Mr.. Lincolns auspices, an election
held, and members of Congress chosen but
his party never admitted the members, and
finally ignored the State government.

THE KILLING OF Mr.. SHANK by. CoLosEI
ARNBTRoyd-CoLossI ARMsrRoSu's ACqutr.
TAL.--Mr. Martin L. Shank, mason and
plasterer, who isv q resident of Bridgewater,
some time ago had purchased sieve of Colo.
mel L. J. Armstrong, merchant OF the place.
Shank shortly afterwnrd rendered payment
for the sieve, but rs Colonel Armstrong had
not received the bill for It, the matter was de.
ierred. Some time afterward, however,
having use for the money, Colonel Armstrong
called upon Shank and demanded payment for
the sieve. From some cause or other Shank
became offended, and quarrel ensued between
The parties; but Sank paid the bill either then
or shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, on
difficulty, Shank attacked Colonel Arm.
strong In the street and threatened him
with personal violence. On Saturday last,
while going from his store TO his dwell
ing, which is near ShanS's residence, the
attack was renewed, but the timely in
reference Of friends arrested the affair,
and Shank was taken home and confined in n
room. After dinner Colonel Armstrong, fear
iui that the attack would be rene wed as he
returned TO the store, armed himself with a
pistol for the purpose of defending himself.
His fears were verified for Shank had escaped
from his room, and rs soon as Colonel Arm
strong made his appearance upon the street
the former attacked him with a chair which
he had taken from shop near by. Colonel
Armstrong drew his pistol and warned Shank
that II he advanced upon him his life would be
in danger. Shank dsregarded the warning and
continued TO rush upon Colonel Armstrong
with the uplifted chair, and when In the act
of striking the latter the pistol was dis
charged, the ball taking effect near the pit Of
the stomach. Shank was taken TO his house
and every attention paid him, but the wound
was mortal and he expired within an hour or
so after the fatal occurrence. E..
We are personally acquainted with Colonel
Arms trong, and understand that he is disabled
in one of his arms, and was not capable Of
parrying the attack of his assailant, who is
represented to have been a comparatively
young man, in the yigor Of his strength.
Shank, was unfortunately, under the influence
of liquor when he made the attack upon
Colonel Armstrong on Saturday. c'r@.
A thorough examination of the case was
had yesterday ut Rridgewater before four
justices. which resulted in Colonel Arm
