THIEF SHOT AND KILLED.

About eleven o'clock last night three men
regarded by the police as class of heavy
thieves, named Michael Hickey, Richard
Joyce and H. Pietrie, were standing on the
corner Of Canal and Franklin streets, talk.
ing together. On the approach of patrol.
man, Hickey remarked to his companions
that the officer knew him, and he was
going to leave.
Thereupon he started ON run. and the
cries were quickly raised, stop hin, y
"shoot him. etc. Patrolman Coughlin
joined liz the pursuit, and when on Frank
lin street, between Canal and Gasauet. he
fired at the fleeing man to induce him to
stop, and the fatal ball entered the left
breast of Hickey, shortly causing his death
Two night keys were found in the pockets
of the deceased, who has been engaged
with his gang in entering houses that are
vacant and stealing gas fixtures, lead pipes
and other heavy articles, which are readily
converted into money by the junk dealers.
Hickey is the man who put ont ten boxes
of tobacco, some time since, from the store
of l. N. Marks & Co., the intention of
making heavy haul.
The body of Hickey was taken to the
First District station last night, and Joyce
and Pietre were arrested and locked up in
the same station.
Officer Coughlin surrendered himself,
and remains in the custody of Captain
Schrieber, charged with the killing. A coro-
ner's inquest will be held to-day, when all
the facts will be elected.

THE CUsToMEoUsE WRONG.
Opinions of the Press.

We make the following extracts from an
editorial in the Boston Transcript:
The outrage at New Orleans, whereby
United States troops were employed against
the delegates favoring Governor Warmoth,
deserves the prompt attention of the ad-
immigration, anu the summary punishment
of all the federal officials responsible for
the disgraceful transaction. Casey, Pack
ard and the rest merit immediate suspen-
sion from their offices for so deceiYing and
imposing upon General Reynolds, then in
Texas, that he lent the military for the use
Of these intriguers. The administration can
not afford TO lose its well-earned fame for
moderation and peace by allowing itself to
be compromised by an implied or never so
remote Endorsement of this altogether un-
Unsuitable act. Let every federal officer at
New Orleans concerned in itbe given notice
to Quit.
There is something quite whimsical in the
efforts made TO fasten upon General Grant
the odium rightly attaching only to his New
Orleans superserVieeable adherents In
good time, the President will snow to the
country that he maintains the same respect
for law he has heretofore shown throughout
his whole career, and is not TO be persuaded,
by any consideration, to employ the mill
tary. except in legitimate way to quell
public disorder, and preserve the reign OF
good government. Those who expect to
ind, IN the occurrences upon which we are
commenting, the evidence of the Presidents
intention TO play the role of a military die
tator, and force himself on the Republican
party as its next Presidential nominee, and
then to secure his election by the ''strong
arm of the nation, will be grievously dis
appointed. Tie President needs not to re-
sort TO such means, or run such risks. In
dications are abundant, on all hands, that
the opposition to him in the Republican
ranks is only nominal; and when he is once
in the field for reelection, what reasonable
grounds are there for supposing he can be
beaten by the Tammany Democracy

Ot tnc w asCOHsAu Dtmocracys
WAsBINGToN, August 24.-Darden has
the deliriun, caused by being deprived of
| accustomed stimulants, aggravated by a
conclusion of the brain received in the fight
with Mccarthy.
A semi-otfcial statement regarding the
money on the Golden Rule, discredits the
idea of robbery. The money was in com
pound interest notes, none Of which have
been presented to the treasury.
But ten of $50,00O,0 900 of the five per cent
loan allotted to the United States remains.
The following is the fifth resolution of the
Wisconsin Democracy:
ResolUed, That as the late amendments to
the constitution have been declared, by the
properly constituted authority. to be part
OF the fundamental law of the land, thev
are binding upon the people; that the
Democratic party now, as in the past, knows
no higher law than the constitution; that
the 'time-hOnored principle of strict con-
struction applied by its trainers, and
accepted by the wisest statesmen and iurists
OF the country, should be observed in all
legislation by Congress relative to the con-
stitution and its amendments; that the
Democratic party is opposed to the with
drawal OF civil and political rights from
any class of the people, and that we de
mand the removal of all political disuuali-
fications.

TeXee Crop Prnsnecrs-

A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal
writes from Bray's store, Lamar county,
Texas, as follows:
Our crop prospects are tolerably good in
Eastern Texas. From Paris, west, crops
are not good, on1y where they were planted
early, and could drain; SO much wet, and
then very dry for twelve weeks. Cotton
looks well, but without rain soon it will be
cut short. Fair prospect for rain now, we
will make plenty. My son and myself have
between four and five hundred acres in
corn and cotton. Some corn VIII make
forty bushels per acre. Cotton is very
good. well boiled, and some open; lands
rich, black prairie and gray sandy; crops
on Red river were never better where cul-
tiyated. Health is good. Lands range
from fifty cents to one dollar, and from
five to ten dollars for unimproved. I'm
proved lands range from five to ten and
fifteen dollars, and in popular neighbor-
hoods it is worth from twenty TO thirty
dollars. Water is scarce in dry season;
some places, good wells by going fifteen to
thirty feet; others, forty to fifty, and some
account. We have good cisterns.

Bark HiIda Stranded.

Our dispatches this morning report that
the Norwegian bark Hilda, Captain Tor
jusen, which sailed from New Orleans for
Bremen, on the fourth instant, was stranded
during the recent gale. The Hilda cleared
on the first instant for Bremen with four
hundred and sixty-three hogsheads of to-
baceo, two boxes merchandise and six
thousand pieces slaves. The vessel and
cargo are a total less. The captain is
saved, and it is thought the crew also are
saved

Coal AND WooD.-As coal is probably
cheaper now than it will be later in the sea-
son, it appears to Ms that it would be ad-
advisable for families to lay in a supply at
once, for all winter. Messrs. DeWint &
Maurel, No. I30 St. Louis street, have a
large stock of Pittsburg, anthracite sand
camel coal on hand, which they will deliver
to families and steamers at the lowest
market price, and be sure to give fair meas.

of the public patronage as they are both re-

political prospects of Bowen, the lately par

in South Carolina. According to late
advices from there, he will not contest De-
doing last fall, but will proceed to make a
bold move to have himself nominated for
Governor. His late persecution, it is said,
has given him q strong hold on the negro
element, Notwithstanding the fact that
DeLarge belongs to the latter race, and has
heretofore been foremost among his perse-
