comes in contact with the daily press. II
WIS eagerly caught up, however, by the
wAysidc newspapers that appear in this and
other States, and in some cases has not been
contradicted. For the information and bene-
fit OF such papers we print the following
extract from the Baltimore Sua, on the sub
ject, giving its opinion of those endeayoripp
to keep alive the vile sander:--
Nothing can be more discreditable than
the attempt which is being made in certain
quarters to connect the President with The

way from O5ce0la to JscksonpoTt, where
hey are TO be mustered out. When
opposite Island IS, the Cleek stopped at
q little bayou, and a man named John
Davis, better known ss Gunbcat Davis,
got on buH-d.
Shortly after the boat got under way,
Davis aud PIE of the militia got into q
discussion Of the murder Of Baugh Ia
detail Of which VI gave some weeks
eg0). Davis, who It appears knew
Baugh, and wss ccg1izAnt OF the hide
Gus circumstances under which he was
murdered, spoke Of his death In denun-
I cistory terns. A gentIeman-One of the
( officers 0. tile bOat-overhesriDg the
conversation, and experimenting that It
would lead 10 trouble, went 10 Davis and
advised him to stop the conversation

Wien the boat reached Mound City,
which Was at about z O'Clock Monday
morning, the militia, finding they could
not make q close connection al Memphis,
but wCujd have to lie over several dsys,
determined TO remain there, and accord
Ingly went ashore. The Cheek was

and Davis f0olishIy went ashore.
While standing N the bank he
was approached by the men to
whom he had been talking, and
the same subject gas sgsiE commenced.
The lieutenant was present who
claimed 10 have had charge OF tie pgrty
who murdered Baugh, and he persisted
in talking about me murder, asserting
taat hs YVES right, that Bsugh deserved
all be got, ana if he had q chance he
would dc the same thing over. The gen.
tIemsn who warned Davis before, step
ped up 70 hin and addressed him again,
telling him to stop the conversation.
On this, Davis dropped the converse
ton and walked on board the Cheek, but
as he did so, he was followed by two OF
the militia, armed with muskets sud
58yOnets, arrested and carried on shore.
Here they demanded his money, and
Davis refused 10 give itup, (hsviug none,
Ia truth, cut not telling MS fact to them).
After 8 second or third demand, L of
the Tuhs ans raised his gun and shot Davis
through the isiE breast above the heart,
the ball passing through aHd coming OUT
under the shoulder blade, making s

THE CAN-CAN IN New YoRK.-The Home Jour
nal describes a masked ball in the following
graphic style:
Here at least the mask was thrown off; mo-
body claimed respectability vice herded with
vice, corruption with corruption. But in the
frightful maelstrom were hurled far down the
dizzy road to ruin hundreds of young men, fitted
by birth, training and education for exalted po-
sitions in society and it was affirmed there
were respectable women present; and it is GER
tain, that ordinary staid and sober men, with
faces lined With care, witnessed and applauded
the horrible parody upon enjoyment with a zest
only too evident. The bestial spirit of sensual
ity and RIGHTEOUSNESS ruled the hour. High and
low reduced to fiat and uncompromising
level of degradation. Quadrille. lancers, schot-
tische, waltz and polka were all arbitrarily can
canzed. Women were tossed from boxes to floor
and back again, like many packages of dry
goods, or borne aloft in crowd, shameless.
upon the shoulders of shameless men. Not one
faint flicker of refinement, not one feeble flicker
of remonstrance, marred the consistent eifront-
cry and debauchery of the occasion Paris was
outdone by New York the eccentrcities of La
Closerie paled before the extravaganza of Mi
Caremc and the long night of revelry went out
in the gray twilight of day-break, like garish
meteor that drops from the zenith to the horizon,
leaving red trail of blood behind it. Even the
voice of Mrs. Grundy was awed into silence by
