A private letter to the editors Of the
| Dallas CTexas) Herald, dated Kaufman,
February l9, 1870, says: There was a Sc
| rious difficulty at Canton last week. One

two men named Bottom. One Of the
| Moores was also killed, and q bystander
named Smith was wounded, and it is re-
ported that he has since died Of his
wounds. The parties are all lads. The
/ killing grew out of some sudden quarrel,
and had no connection with the political
| troubles which occurred there last
summer.
To General Buffers remark 'that re-
spectacle members Of the press can as
/ easily be distinguished from the bad ones

"more easily we hope for "there are
some rascally lawyers who, after a long
life of wr~ong-doing, are still elassed by
most people with the honest men Of their
profession" In the language Of Captain
Cutie, the meaning Of this remark de-
ponds upon hits application" We
hope General Butler will not take it as
personal.
