A Negro Desperate.

A negro desperate named Louis Ira.
Wis, VIII" murdered in cold blood in
sPauiding County, Georgia, a month
ago, a DIR. Butler, wife and child.
colored woman and two other rerssns
arrived in this city ON the negro excnr.
sion train from Atlanta last Mar, and
until yesterday had heas. 5,jiioyinr .
faneied secHTity from that retribu.
tive justice from which he had fed.
W.. 5. Brown, Sheriff of the conDtyin
which the murders We're COMMITTED.
having heard that the bloodthirsty
seoundfel was lounging about the city,
arrived here yesterday in quest If him.
Sheriff Brown being known to Travis,
he. deputised Captain Skies, officer at
Chattanooga depot, to make the arrest.
Al $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon Cap.
tain Skies discovered Travis on
church street, opposite the old Acads-
my building, looking intcntiy at '.fy-
ing jenny" in an open space at tho
South sitlc of that thoroughfare. Har-
Ing already been informed of Travis
desperate deeds, Skies took every pse-
caution not to allow the rascal to cel
the advantage of him, and not 10
arouse any suspicion in Travis mind
until he should get near enough to iay
hold of him. Captain Skiles accord.
ing!y walked up in the direction of the
spot where Travis was standing. Ira
Wis became uneasy Mt his approaeh,
but made no motion to depart. Wien
Captain Skies had reached him he
caught him hy the collar and told hin
he was his prisoner. At that moment
Travis jerlied out a Colts revolver and
shot ut Captain Skies, grazing his
right hand. Sliles broke bis mace
over Travis head, which, caused Travis
to drop his pistol. They then hads
desperate struggle for the mystery, end
ing in boil, being thrown to the ground,
Travis falling upon his pistol. In the
scuffie Travis again secured his pistol.
1t this juncture Captain Skiles snap
ped q Derringer at him. The negro
then shot at tskiles, the ball taking 0ut
a piece of the iatter's ear. Captain
Skies now drew forth small Smitli&
Wesson pistol and shot Travis in the
neck, after which the latter gave him
self up, and was conveyed to the
Chattanooga depot, from whence be
was taken to Atlanta by the Sheriff,
manaeied and lIandcuffed, on the 6:0
p. VI. train. 1t is believed that Travis
wound may prove fatal. Governor
Bullock, subsequently to the commit
tai of the dreadful murders mentioned,
offered $1,000 for Travis appreben-
sion, the citizens adding $1,000 more.
Whatever may be the reward, Captain
Sixties certainly deserves not only to be
commended for his bravery, but 70
share in the division of the money.

HE QUARTERLY REVIEW The
London Quarterly Review for October
is the most brilliant number of that
celebrated periodical which has ap-
peared for many day. Some of the
very best writers have contributed sim
gle articles any one of which is worth
the price of Il years subscription. The
article on the German Patriotic Songs
will command general attention, and
send the blood to the finger-ends ofey-
cry eye who sympathizes with poetry
and patriotism. The two leading arti
ctes ON the war are. able and exhaus-
tive. Those on the "sIismanacement
of the British Navy" and the .Inefi-
cheney of the British Army" will be all
the more interesting now that a gener-
al European war seems imminent

The Baltimore Underwater, a Journ-
al we'll known in the mercantile com
munity throughout the country, in q
very able article, fayoring the reform
movement presents the name of John
". Garrett, Esq, President of the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, for
the nomination of the reform party
for President in 1872. The Under
writer speaks very truly of Mr.. Gar
ret's great ability, large experience,
force of character, knowledge of the
public affairs and love of right, all
of which bring him prominently for
ward at this tin e. But mistake
has been made by the Underwater.
Mr.. Garrett is q Democrat, and !
learn will be presented by the Dem-
ocracy of Maryland, before the Dem
ocratic convention as their choice for
the Presidential nomination. Mary
land claims that considerable consid-
Grafton is due her for her recent elo-
rions victory over tie proteciionists
and their cash and their negro allies.
Maryland in presenting Mr. Garrett,
does not present q local reputation
b Il t o n known and respected
throughout tie whole country. Thus
is another name-J. ". Garrett s.
added to that of Hoffman, Hancock
Hendricks, Thurman and OF h er
bright lights in the Democratic party,
either of whom can lead us to victory
n the peaceful contest for standard
bearer in the next conflict at the bal
lot-box.
The Radical Western members and
their buzzard friends are noseing the
Interior Department to smell ont
what they may best fatten on, under
the administration of Secretary Cox.
There was no slices there, but the
hopeful and trusting politicians ex-
pect mach now, time will soon de-
termine the truth or falsity OF their
rosy hopes. The result Of the recent
elections seem TO suit both parties.
The Democracy are content. The
Radicals smile ghastly smile and
say, they are pleased because Con-
gress has no longer two-thirds vote
to override the wisdom of the wisest
and pnrest of Presidents. / his con-
dition of things is extremely pleasant
The Radical members who were not
re-nominated think that their party
is going to pieces, and those who
were defeated, and they number a
few, think that the people are losing
their powers of appreciation, ''in
short" as NIicawber said, they were
choused out of their election So
they were, by two many votes being
cast against them.
