THREE MEN KILLED AT Ida WILEY
From correspondent residing at Ida
Valley we learn that on Monday, the 18th
instant, about five o'clock p. NJ, a muir
derous ARRAY occurred at the saloon of
Scott & Fitzgerald, in which three men,
Hugh Scott, John Duffee and George
Childs were shot and killed. Our CORES
pendent says that the testimony before
the Coroner's jury was to the effect that
two men were playing cards in the above
named saloon; the game became quite
exciting by reason of outsiders betting
on the result. George Childs and
W. b. Hobin, both outsiders, got
into an alteration in which the lat
ter struck the former blow with his fist.
Childs Immediately drew a six-shooter
and shot Hugh Scott n bystander, twice,
both shots taking effect and killinu hin
instantly. Childs then shot John Duffee,
also an innocent bystander, the ball sever
ing the femoral artery of the right thigh.
Dutiee died in about thirty minutes. As
soon as Dufiee was shot, some person in
the crowd, unknown to the jury, fired at
Childs, killing him instantly. Scott was
20 and Dlffee 80 years of age. Both
We're innocent OF any participation in the
row, and neither of them, so far as is
known, had ever incurred the i'll will of
their murderer. The letter OF our CORE
spondent was hurrledly written, hnt he
promises us further particulars of this
singular affair by the next mail.

PARIS, May "a.
The debate on the interpolation. intro
duced by the Conservatives, began in the
Assembly this afternoon, the floor and
galleries being crowded. Duke de Brog-
lee opened the debate with speech in
support Of the Interpolation. Dufaure,
Minister of Justice, declared on the part
of the Government, that it was not neces-
sary to abandon the provisional regime
and acknowledge the Republic. Presi-
dent Theirs then mounted the Tribune to
speak, when instantly storm of objec-
tons and protestations came from the
right center, which was met with counter
cries from the other side. A scene of
excitement and confusion followed, which
battles description. The President in
vain endeavored to make himself heard,
but his voice was drowned in the uproar,
Finding the house would not hear him,
Theirs descended from the Tribune and
consulted with the Minister of Justice,
M. Dufaure, who took his place in the
Tribune, and on securing silence, said
that he had been instructed to formally
notify the Assembly, in accordance with
the law adopted last session, that the
President desired to address the House
in person. and requested an adjournment
until tomorrow morning, when he would
proceed to deliver his speech. The
Chamber accordingly adjourned
A special meeting of the deputies of
the left has been called for o'clock to-
morrow morning. The left are pleased
with Dufaure's speech and conduct.

IN criminal statistics, the census of
1870 discloses the fact that on June LIST,
there were in prison in the United States
32,9Ol prisoners, of whom nearly one
half (1G, no, were native born whites,
and the remainder (s,S2S), foreign born,
and S,O56 colored persons. Comparing
this with our total population, it will be
seen that one person out of 1,172 is a
prisoner, and that the three classes max
ing up the total are, relatively, one pris-
oner 70 every l,744 native born whites,
one to every 637 who are foreign born,
and one to every sos of the colored race.

The New York Times, reviewing the
action of the Republican party the past
year in its exposures and condemnation
OF corruption, says truly: lit is idle to
talk of such party being corrupted. 1t
cannot be SO until the proportion of the
good men and bad men in it are reversed.
Before that can occur there must be a
struggle, in which We believe the bad
will have to succumb. We admit that
the Republican party will. sooner or
later, have to throw off those of its active
members who are corrupted, or perish !;
but We have no fear that it will perish. :"

Elsewhere appears an account OF the
Virginia duel which has furnished the
press an opportunity for sensational
headings and comments upon the code
duelIo. In this case, as in the most, and
we might say most all others, the party
in the wrong survives and the one who
gave no serious offense and was forced
to fight is dead. Here is sermon in a
senteace on the absurdity Of seeking re-
dress for real or supposed injuries at the
muzzle of the pistol. The controversy
has been adjourned because the better
pistol-shot killed the other, but the real
question at issue is left open for others
TO discuss the trivial cause of the diff
Guilty. The survivor may escape punish
ment by law, but there is a conscience
within him which will continually try
him for murder in the first degree, and
ever find him guilty. 1t may be dor
mant now, but like all imperish able
principles it will live, and like the ghost
of Banquo refuse to down at his bidding.

oughfare when he is bent on business or

heart that be had fell aud paid the pen

A POLITICAL PHENOMENON.

The trite saying that extremes often
meet is seemingly about to be verified by
a remarkable political transformation in
a quarter least and last expected. Henry
A. Wise the most red.hot secessonist
and defiant rebel that came out OF the
war alive and unchanged is about to be-
come the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor Of Virginia. Wise is the man that
hung old John Brown, and as the hadi-
cal party failed to hang Wise at the
close Of the war, they have concluded
TO make some use Of him rs Governor.
He is quite willing to be used that way.
although he has never recanted single
one of his violent expressions in war
and in peace, nor renowned any Of his
extreme radical views about the war.
As a rebel he is still in the bonds Of his
ancient iniquity, but he wants to be Gov
ernor, and will condescend to shake
hands with the Republican party acress
the bloody-gallows of old John Brown.
He is a friend of General Grants upon
some unknown and contradictory prin'
ciple, as yet undiscovered in nature, and
the President generally remembers bis
friends. 1t is understood that the
aged but fiery Ex-Governor will
declare himself an independent can.
didate and supporter Of the admin
istration some time in July. The
Republican Convention meets at Lynch
burg on the 3Oth of that month, and will
have an inviting opportunity OF declar-
ing in his favor. If old John Browns
soul is still marching on in big circle,
aud this earth rests on an arc of that
big circle, there is little surprise in
store for him when he comes around to
Virginia next time which will make him
rejoice that he is out Of the party. Wise
will certainly owe an apology to old
John Browns memory, and should set
about erecting a monument over his
grave, which duty has been entirely
neglected to this time.

ST. PAUL, May l6.--A dispatch from
Edwinton on the Missouri river, at the
crossing of tue Northern Pacific railroad,
says 1.-THE Sioux Indians for the past
few days have been making themselves
quite numerous on the west side of the
river at this point in the vicinity of Fort
Lincoln. Ia the night about one hun
drsd of them made dart upon the fort
approaching within about seventy yards.
They we're repulsed by the troops and
scouts The loss OF horses on the part
of the fort was light No loss of life
This lot of Sioux have made an encamp-
ment in the heart of the river valley q
few miles above the fort and are almost
daily seen in the neighborhood of the
fort. Scouts are kept in active service
and can be seen from Edwinion as they
gallop over the nights, bordering the
west bank Of the river, making observa-
tons The surveying party is soon to
penetrate into the heart Of that country,
and it is deemed necessary by the com
mander TO keep watch on their move
ments.
