Desperate Captured.

We copy this from the Sherman tTexas)
Journal,
The Mcdonald family, who were released
from the Bonham Jail by some Of their
friends about year ago, and who were
chased from the southern portion of the
State recently were found on the East
Fork, on Sunday last, by j. L. Hall, Esq.
assisted by some police from Dallas.
The party summoned them about noon.
Robert Moore, the leader of the party, broke
through the lines, firing at the police. AS
he ran his horse past Mr.. Mcconnell he was
shot IN the face and arm. Mr. Hall fired
some fourteen shots at him, and Moore
fred nearly as many at Hall. The chase
continued for about seven miles in the
middle of heavy rain. Moore was armed
with breeeh-loading Henry rifle, and knew
how to use it. He escaped, but was so bad
ly wounded that he gave himself up to
some citizens the next morning, in order to
get surgical assistance Mr.. Robinson had
his horse shot, and, with Messrs. Copeland
and Cunningham, did good service.
The citizens Of Pennington deserve great
credit for the manner in which they turned
out to assist the officers of the law. Hall
says he broke up camp meeting in drum
ming mp recruits. Moore is safely lodged
in jail, where he will await the result of
two indictments against him. His wounds
are not of a serious character. The balance
Of the party escaped.

JOINT RESOLUTION
Relative to the removal Of a duty from rice
by the Congress of the United States,
and instructing our Senators and Repre-
sentatives relative thereto.
WHEREAS; The Congress of the United
States of America are contemplating, in
the readjusting of the national Tariff to re-
move tax or duty from rice, which act
materially affects one of the largest pro
ductive interests of our State, and other
wise fails in the first duty of government
in the protection of its material interests.
by the enforcement of healthy revenue
laws in the interest of protection to AMER
lean industry; therefore,
Be it resolved blythe Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of Louisi-
ana in General Assembly convened, That,
in the deliberate judgment of the General
Assembly thereof, it would be an unjust
measure and against a sound public policy
for the Congress of the United States of
America to remove the duty or tax on rice
at this time, in view of the large national
debt, and the depressing condition of the
business interest and agricultural industry
of the South. Therefore, we instruct the
Senators and request our Representatives
in Congress to oppose all such legislation
at this time, and that the Governor of this
State is hereby requested to communicate
this. joint resolution to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, so that they
may take prompt action thereon in the in
terest of the people of the State of Louisi-
ana.
Adopted in General Assembly, in the city
of New Orleans, on the twelfth day Of Feb

Considerable excitement was created in
town yesterday by the report that on the
previous evening a number of persons,
members of different families, had been
poisoned by drinking buttermilk. INQUIRY
developed the truth of the rumor. Mrs
Dram and Captain Holmes We're the Sc
verest sufferers, while twenty-five or thirty
others were more or less seriously affected
The symptoms one of our physicians pro-
nounce those of poisoning by arsenic. 1t
has also been suggested that the milk was
poisoned by the metal used in the vessels
IN which 1t was kept. But another physi-
clan thinks there is no metal thus used that
could have produced such results He is
disposed to think the sickness was caused
by something eaten by the cows. This is
known as milk-siclness, though the weed
or grass imparting the poisonous quality to
the milk has never been discovered. Until
the real cause of this singular and so nearly
tragic affair is fully discovered our citizens
had best abstain from too free indulgence
in the tactical fluid.
