Out on the Pacific Railroad, the
other day, a Kickapoo Indian saw a
locomotive coming down the track to.
ward him at the rate Of forty miles an
hour. He thought it was an imported
breed of buffalo, AMI he was anxious to
secure it so as to take the prize at the
annual exhibition of the Kickapoo Ag.
ricultural Society. So he fastened one
end of Of his lasso to his waist belt, and
when the engine got near enough, he
threw the moose nicely over the smoke
stack. Perhaps it is not necessary,
but we may as well relate that the 10.
comotive did not stop. The engineer
and fireman witnessed the most sue
cessful attempt to do the flying ira
peze made by any kickapoo Indian
upon the plains since the first of last
January. There was an aboriginal fu-
neral at the next station, when the en-.
gine arrived. The grave was not large,
for they cnly buried a small piece Of
copper-colored meat tied to a string
aud inclosed in a sardine box.

A SHOCKING DUEL WITH KNIVES.
About sundown on Friday evening
two young men of Alexandria, in or
der to settle difficulty that had aris-
en- between them, armed themselves
with knives, and accompanied by some
of their respective f.iends, repaired to
the grounds around Lockaber, across
the canal locks, where having DOTTED
their coats, they fought according to
the rules in force in Western Texas
previous to the war. After prolong-
ed conflict during which both were
cut and slashed 10 an extent that sat

and carried to surgeons to have their
wounds dressed. Neither Of them was

the man said they were trying TO get a
little money to rent and furnish room
where they might meet at night and
read good books and study, instead Of
spending their time idly and wickedly
in saloons, billiard rooms and on the

honest, straightforward manner which
appealed strongly to the heart and

friends Of the ladies approached--as

FIVE or ten dollars in behalf of so good

ladies were thus interviewed by this

ty holds its mcagre mantle over them,
OF which the following is an instance :

paper. She worked two years, during
which time she earned. besides her
board, about 5000; and availing her.

ing Office affords, acquiring a good ed

gagged, to he married to one of the
smartest lawyers in Ohio. Such Il
girl is bound to shine and eclipse tens
OF thousands who are educated in the

a SPEOR OF WAR IN CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA was 80 far removed from the
operations Of the war for the suppression of
that region probably have only a very indis-
tinct idea of the nature and results of the
conflict, and when they talk about resisting
the operations of the fifteenth amendment
they evidently have no clear conception of
the present political situation. The Demo-
cratic County Clerk of Sacramento has de-
clared that the votes of colored citizens shall
not be received, and the "unterrihed" of that
city have rallied to his support and have pro-
missed to 'back him with all the moral and
physical force God has given them" The
Democrats have peculiar way of appealing
in sort Of left-handed fashion to the AL
mighty when they get into a tight place,
but the events of the last ten years ought to
have convinced them by this time that the
Lord is not on their side at present, nor is He
likely to be, unless they make material
changes in their principles and practices. 1t
is at least doubtful whether the combined
moral and physical force of the Democracy of
Sacramento will be able to precipitate revo-
luton on the Pacific slope, but it is Just
possible that if they create a disturbance on
the subject of the negro vote that measures
will be adopted for placing the ballot in the
hands of the Chinese also, and for an average
Californian to acknowledge a Chinaman as a
man and brother will require an amount of
moral fortitude that we fear the Democracy
of Sacramento are not possessed of. The
County Clerk of Sacramento and his Democra-
tic hackers had better accept the consequences
of the fifteenth amendment without making a
row over it, and they will find it to their own
good if they patiently bear the ills they have
without flying to others that they know
not of.

possession of property equal in value to the
amount required would be received. On
Saturday Judge Paxson made an example of
an offender in the matter of straw bail that
ought to have good result in checking the
performances of those who, like the culprit
in this case, are willing to aid in shielding
criminals from the penalties of the law.
Henry S. Reichert, the individual who came
to grief on this occasion, offered himself as
bail for Mrs. Waite, who was accused of an
unusually atrocious attempt at arson.
Reichart swore that he owned property of
certain value, but it was afterwards discovered
that he was not worth a cent, and in
consequence he was promptly indicted, tried,
convicted, and sentenced to seven years
imprisonment for perjury. This was a severe
sentence, but there will be few respectable
people who will be inclined to dispute the
fact that it was both proper and just under
the circumstances. If our judges will give
criminals and their aiders and abettors to
understand that they will receive no mercy in
the courts, and that conviction will certainly
be followed by a sentence imposing all the
penalties that the law permits, they will be
able to effectually check in measure at
least, the spread of crime. Punishment to
be effectual must be certain and severe, and
by the sentence of Reichert to seven years
Imprisonment Judge Paxson has struck a
blow at the operations of professional bail
goers, and the practice of offering straw bail,
that cannot but have beneficial effect. 1t
only needs now that this sentence shall be
followed up by others of equal severity in
order to excite wholesome dread Of the law
in the breasts of evil-doers.

THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY.

On Saturday Judge Allison refused to grant
the mandamus applied for by certain of the
stockholders of the Mercantile Library to COM
pei the Directors of that institution, to open it
during certain hours of Sunday. The grounds
upon which the Judge refused the mandamus
were eminently just and proper, and will
commend themselves to the good Judgment of
those who are most anxious that the advan-
tages of the library should be enjoyed on
each day of the week by those who choose to
avail themselves of them The Judge showed
that according to the charter the Directors
had full power to establish what regulations
they considered expedient with regard to the
days and hours when the library is to be
kept open, and that SO long as it cannot be
shown that the Directors have improper mo-
tives, or that they design to occasion vexation
or embarrassment by closing the library at
certain times, the Courts have no right
to interfere. The persons who applied for
mandamus in this case have certainly acted
with very little judgment, and they have only
injured their own cause. There is q very de-
cided prejudice in the community against the
opening of the library on Sunday, and this
unwise action will only serve to increase and
intensity the opposition. This prejudice We
consider to be unjust, and based upon
totally wrong idea of the subject, but we cam
not dispute the fact that it does exist, and
among the most influential classes. To re-
move this prejudice fair arguments and dis
passionate statements of the great moral ad-
vantages that are expected to result from
opening the reading-rooms of the library on
Sunday are needed, and we sincerely believe
that if the advocates of the measure will only
take the proper course they can without
great deal of difficulty bring public senti-
ment round to their side of the question. We
hope that the stockholders of the Mercan-
tile will consent to the opening of the library
on Sunday, as an experiment at least, for we
sincerely think that great good will result
from it, and that it is measure in the inte-
rest of religion and morality. Those who
vote on the question should do SO only after
a thoughtful deliberation of the subject in
their own minds; and if all the stockholders
will give it the consideration it deserves,
their decision will be entitled to respect, no
matter which way it may be.

THE INCOME TAX.

CERTAIN members of Congress seem deter
mined, for reasons that we are unable to
fathom, to continue the income tax. The
Senate Finance Committee has reported a
bill to re-enact this obnoxious tax, and an
effort will undoubtedly be made to carry it
through both houses Some of the Senator'S
a majority we hope-are opposed to oppress-
ing the people of the United States for a
longer period with tax that was levied
strictly as a war measure, and with distinct
understanding that it was to be discontinued
at definite period. That period has now
arrived, and no good reason has been or can
be shown why the tax should not be allowed
to expire by limitation. The income tax was
submitted to patiently by a majority of
the people of the country simply
because they knew that it was absolutely
necessary, and that the Government during
the progress Of the war required every dollar
that it could possibly raise. 1t was submitted
to after the war had been brought to an end,
because it was important to reduce the bulk
of the national debt at an early day and to
place our finances upon satisfactory basis,
and more particularly because there was an
emphatic assurance that in a very short
time it would be discontinued.
The peculiarly oppressive and obnoxious
features of the income tax have little or no
relation to the amount that it takes from each
mans pocket, but to its inquisitorial character,
and to the fact that it requires every citizen
to make public his most private business
affairs There are few men who would not
prefer to pay much larger sum in some
other manner, and Congress will make a great
mistake If it supposes that the tax will be sub
mitted to as patiently in the future
as it has in the past. There is very
strong and growing disposition in all parts
of the country to make the abolition of this
tax test question, and members of Congress
who vote for its continuance will have to give
very satisfactory reasons for 30 doing if they
hope for reelection whom they again come

ST,RA W BAIL-A JUST SENTENCE
The facility with which straw bail can be
obtained by large number of evil-doers is
one of the greatest encouragements to crime
and one of the greatest hindrances to the
proper administration of justice. The COM
mitting magistrates appear to have no system
whatever with regard to accepting bail Some
times they require the production of deeds
and sometimes they do not and the conse-
quence is that it is generally the hardened
offenders who understand all the devices by
which justice may be delayed, who are most
frequently able to defy the laws with i'm
punity. In cases of serious offenses the
committing magistrates undoubtedly ought
to invariably require the production of deeds,
no matter who the bail-goer may be, and
check would be put upon the practice of
offering straw bail if it was well
nnderstood that for certain grades of crime
nothing bat documentary evidence OF the

before their constituents II is a sufficient
argument against the tax that the revenues
of the country do not noed il. We are now
paying off our debt quite as fast as is pru-
dent or desirable and the income tax ought
TO be allowed to follow the other arbitrary
war measures that ceased when the war was
over.
