Gambling and Shooting.

Yesterday about half-past 2 o'clock
P. M, row occurred between two ne
groes on College street just below Broad.
The circumstances attending the case, as
we were enabled to gather from our gen.
tlemenly police officers, were as follows:
1t appears that the two, named respect
lively Willis House and Sam Denton, had
been gambling most of the day Friday,
and when they closed operations, House
invited Denton TO come down to his house
yesterday when the game would be con-
tinued. Denton accepted the invitation,
and accordingly spent the day, up to the
occurrence of the disturbance with House
at his shanty, located SIS above indicated.
The game went steadily against Denton,
and finally House had won some $50 from
his guest. Denton becoming rather weary
of ''gettiDg shut of his money in this
way, resolved to come the grab game,
and suitiUg the action 10 the thought,
hauled down the pile in 4 most uncere-
mDniOus manner and made tracks for an
other locality. House thsreupon grasped
pistol and gave chase, firing four shots
after him, some of which, however, took
effect. At this stage in the game, the
police came up and arrested both parties
and lodged them in jail. They are both
represented, by the colored folks who are
acquainted with, them, as hard cases, and
probably there may some interesting de-
velopments he brought 10 light, of which
this is the commencement.

able farms. He was delighted with our

fields that had been properly cultivated
He saw the negroes lying around doing
nothing, while the fields were white with
cotton. He thought our lands were too
high, and would drive immigrants TO other
sections. In regard 10 one matter, he was
manifestly mistaken: He thought there
WIS still among our people a disposition
to discourage the immigration Of Northern
men into our midst Northern men are q
little too sensitive on this subject. Be-
cause our people do not entTeat Northern
men TO come among us, ii is no reason
why they Go not sincerely welcome all who
desire and elect of their own choice TO live

Further resistance on the part of the
French will end in anarchy or the perma-

corquerors, or the armed inter-
vention of neutrals. Intervention
would be worse than either anarchy or
foreign occupation. The guilt of further
resistance would not be on the men of the
fourth of September, but upon the coun-
sellers of the Empire, who prevented the
Empress from making terms after Sedan,
and the Senators of the Empire, the
Empress presiding, must now meet and
