John 7. Hoffman.

Governor Hoffman, who was elected
at the late election by tremendous
majority Governor of the great State OF
New York, in his annual message intl-
mates that the war is to be Kept up
against the Radical party until every
one of its infamous measures has been
buried beyond hope of resurrection
And this is no idle threat. The Radi-
cal majority in Congress, owing to the
appropriately of the Grant administers
ton. has been reduced to such small
figure as to be wholly unreliable
There are enough liberal free trade
Republicans from the West to succeed
by Democratic aid in preventing any
more legislation for the exclusive ben
eft of New England capitalists and
manufacturers. This victory over the
corrupt legislation of the Radical adj
ministration will be due solely to the
efforts of such uncompromising Demo-
Gratis as John L. Hoffman. The New
York Governor has become so popular
all over the country, and his name has
been used SO frequently in connection
with the Presidency, that he has re-
Gently been forced to publish card
declining to be consideretlsa candidate.
If the people want him, however, they
will force the Office on him, whether he
is candidate or not.

W Governor Alcorn, who was gen
orally supposed to be more cob than
corn, has, it seems, some very good
points after all. A fellow named Il.
w. Flournoy, who wanted an Office,
undertook to commend himsef to the
Governor by abusing General Lee and
the Mississippi University at Oxford,
after the most approved Radical
fashion. Alcorn refused to appoint
him, alleging that any man who would
abuse the memory of such man as
Gen. Lee or who would attempt to
Radicalisc the State University, is
unfit for office. Whether these are the
true sentiments of the Mississippi
Governor or whether, like many other
Radical officials, lie is preparing the
way for leaving the Radical sinking
ship, we are unable to say. The letter
is, on the whole, very remarkable one,
and has created a considerable COM
motion among his recent eulogists.
His conduct is certainly in striking
contrast with that of that other newly
hedged Radical Confederate General.

Federal flag over the N. O. Custom
House in homer of his former chief.

BEAUTIFUL TuoUGHT.--Therc is but
IL breath of air and heat of the heart
between this world and the next. And
in the brief interval of painful and
awful suspense, while we feel that
death iswith us, that we are powerless
and he all powerful, and the last faint
pulsation here is hut the prelude OF
endless life hereafter, we fell in the
midst of stunning calamity about to
befalI us, that ca, tn has no compensa-
ting good to the severity of our loss.
But there is no grief without some
henificent provisions to soften its In
tensities. When the good and the
lovely die, and the memory of theil
good deeds, like the mOon-beams on
the stormy sea lights up our darkened
hearts, and lends to the surroundings
a beauty so sad. so sweet that we
would not, if we could, dispel the
darkness that enyirOns us.

Grant and sumner.

Some of tho Radicals affect to sncel
at the opposition of Mr. snmncr to
Grants new speculation in the annex
atiou of San Domingo. Bat they can
ill conceal t..eir uneasiness beneath an
affected grin. Mr.. Sumner is the old
eat and ablest Republican in the Sen
ate, and has done more to build up the
party than any othe six men in the
Union. General Grant himself show
ed how anxious be was to obtain his
support by paying him an obseqnious
visit to beg him to withhold his oppo-
si,ion. And Mr.. Coltax betrayed the
anxiety of the administration on the
subject, when he went to the White
House at day break to inform the ad-
ministration, in the administration
shirt tail. that Sumner had been beaten
in the Senate. 1t is even said that
some OF the military whippersnappers
who act as gentlemen usliers at the
White House, have threatened tn ham
die. the Massachusetts Senator after the
manner IF Preston S. Brooks.
Let t. en- rave and gnash their teeth.
Although Sumner is beaten in the
Senate he has not done with the San
Domingo job by good deal. He will
get it killed in the House, or else he
will expose the grandest scheme Of
Executive raseality on record. In the
mean time the Democrats jare enjoying
this little Radical family quarrel te
the utmost. They have some hopes
of seeing each side vanish in regular
kilkenny cat denouement.

that the greater the amount collected
the greater the amount will stick, but
simply from their oyer flowing pa
triotism, or rather 'loilty." The
nomination and confirmation of Cen

that unless liberal allowance of pap

S2DNTS IN ARKANSAS.

Intelligence reached ths city, says the Memphis
AUdldache Of September 20 that u desperate shoot
Ing ARRAY occurred Shawnee Village, Ark, about
twenty miles apove Memphis on the Mississippi
River, which, from the information received, Is
likely to result In the death OF the TWO persons who
participated IN the afiray-Dr. +. Grundy McGavOck
and william Barry ThadlOrd. IL appears that dur
ing the latter part OF last week DR.. Green Bennett.
Gavock, abO It q mile rom the river, was engaged
In gathering IN his hogs from tine woods for the
purpose OF killing and packing them. In doing so
he took several claimed by DR.. McGaVOck, who was
denied that he had any intention Of taking possession
OF the Doctors properly, but the transaction led to
nign words between the parties.
On Saturday afternoon mr.. Bennett paid q visit to
DR.. McGavocK's plantation, accompanied by a young
man named Barry ThadfOrd, and entered the house
iOr the purpose OF talking the matter over. Mr..
Bennett is said to be AFFLICTED win deafness, and the
conversation IN regard TO the hogs was carried on
between ThadfOrd and DIR. McGavock. High words
passed between The parties, which ended in DR..
McGavOcK ordering the parties to leave the house,
gate, when 1t seems the quarrel was renewed
and words of an exciting character were used
on both sides, which led to the drawing Of
pistols by DR.. McGavock and Mr.. Thadford.
from Thadl0rd's pistol grazed the top OF Dr..
McGavOck,s head infcting a scalp wound, the Sec
ond carried away the third finger OF his left hand
while the third entered his mouth, the bullet pass
GUS, and, what Is feared, fatal wound. Before the
third shot was fired Dr. McGav0ck shot his antagO-
MIST in the breast, and Is stated that the bullet en-
tered the lungs OF Mr.. rhadford.
The wound Is OF a very serious character, and the
opinion OF mis- medical attendant Is That he cannot
recover. Both gentlemen arc under the care OF DR..
Davies, O gentleman or considerable experience,
who, 1t is said, has little hopes OF the recovery OF

The fourth annual fair of the Narragansett Park
Association commences tomorrow and continues
four days. The entries for each are not as numer.
Gus as might have been expected from the liberal
amounts involved; but this Is accounted for In o
measure from the multiplicity Of tr0tting events in
various parts Of the country, all occurring at about
tho same time. What Is lacking IN quantity,
howveer, is fully made up In quality, and
the result will prove Of far more interest
to the visiting public though not so profitable to
the association. Large fields are good In their
way-in fiat race, on wide course-but, on the
trottng turf, they have got to be O bore. For the
four days OF the meeting there eight purses the
aggregate amount of which Is $20,500 The first
purse which Is for horses that never beat three min
utes, has eight entries In the 224 purse there
are Draco Prince, Myron Perry, John j.
