The Cincinnati Election Winds up with
Row.
CINCINNATI, April This afternoon,
just after the close of the polls in the
present eighth (old fourth ward, fight
commenced in John Gibbons's saloon,
on Front street, about square distant
from the polls, between two men. Of
ficer John Gleason, Of the city police,
went into the saloon, and tried to quell
the disturbance. A crowd followed,
filling the room and the fight became
confused. Gleason fired his pistol,
breast. Leonard is thought to be dying.
1t is said that he was trying to keep the
crowd off of the officer. Police-officer
Gleason was severely beaten and
bruised about the face, head and ribs,
and the attending surgeons fear that be
will not recover. He states that when
he went in the saloon the crowd turned
on him and beat him down, and that
was the reason he drew his pistol and
fired. He did not seem to know of aim
ing at any particular person. Officer
Murray attempted to get into the saloon,
to aid in quelling the disturbance, was
knocked down by the crowd and beat
en-, but not severely hurt. The riot
alarm was turned. At this time about
twenty officers who We're on the ground
started to the station with Officers Glea-
son and Murray, both of whom
the crowd charged with shooting
Leonard. But for the arrival of a COM
pany of police from the nearest station,
there would probably have been addi-
tional bloodshed. The officers succeed
ed without further trouble, and the ex-
citement, though still great, is cooling
down. There is no political
Specification in the fight. The
persons who first begun the fight in a
saloon were of the same political party.
Officer Gleason fired only once, came of
with the loss of the pistol and billy.
Several fights had occurred at the polls
just before closing, which warned the
officers, and caused the already large
detail of police there to be increased.
Where the trouble did occur it was not
anticipated, and it had gone on foI
somel time before the officers within
call felt alarmed. The ringing of the
police alarm bells had great effect in
quieting the angry crowd.
From England.
LONDON, April 7.-Parliament will
adjourn tonight to the twenty-first in
slant.
In the house of commons this even
ing, the budget was presented by the
chancellor of the eXchequer. The floor
was well filed with members and priv
ileged persons, and the galleries crowd
ed with spectators. Mr.. Lowe, ON ris-
ing, was greeted with cheers. He pro-
ceeded to make his statement of the
budget, of which the following are the
principal items: Finance for the year
ending March 3lst, lS73-grants
by parliament, e7I ,8S1 900; ex-
e70,7l4,00O; estimated
revenue, G71, ,S45, 600; actual revenue,
SO, SOS, 775; present debt, e7S5, 500, 600;
of the debt during the year,
&c, ,S6l 600. Estimates for the year end
ing March 81, 1874: Expenditures, e71, =
81 600; decrease from last year, not
withstanGing the enhanced price of
coal, G10, ,000; revenue, SO, ,617, 900; bal
ance On hand at the end of the year,
eI2, ,OOO,O 900. After making this fatter-
ing financial exhibit, which put
the house in good humor, Mr..
Lowe said the government had some
propositions to make. 1t had to provide
Tor the Geneva award, and proposed to
pay half of the amount of revenues of
the present year without the addition OF
a penny to the taxation. He next sur
prised the house by announcing that the
government was enabled to propose a
reduction of fifty per cent. on
the duty on sugar, and take off a
penny from tax on incomes. These
proposals, if adopted by parliament,
would change the estimate to the follow
ing figures: Revenue, e73, ,762, 900; ex-
pelditures, e73, All 900. Thus 2 heavy
would be met by a large re-
ductiou made in taxes, and a sat
isfactory surplus shown. Mr.. Lowe was
frequently cheered while making his
and at the close was loudly
He then moved, in accord
ance with the recommendation of the
budget, that the income be reduced one
penny on the pound. Several members
criticized the budget. Sir Wilfred Law
son remarked that the government held
on to the spirit taxes, and it was evident
that habitual drunkards were the sheet
anchor of the British constitution. Mr..
Fawcett complained of what he termed
a cowardly way of partially paying the
Alabama claims by borrowing from the
income tax, and from sugar and other
duties. The budget was approved pro
lorna, and the house adjourned over
Easter holidays, until April 2lst.
COifaN, Louisiana, Sacked by Negroes.
New ORLEANS, April THE rumors
of disturbance in Grant parish, which
for several days have prevailed, were
yesterday confirmed by several passen-
gers who reached here on the Marie
Louise. On Wednesday last a crowd of
negroes, armed with double-barreled
shot-guns, and headed by a colored man
named Ward, entered the town of Col
fax, took possession of the courthouse,
and ousting the parish officers, assumed
their functions. On Friday, when the
Mary Louise left the vicinity, a report
was current that the white people
had been driven from the parish
in large numbers, and that a body
of planters and others had left Alexan-
dria TO retake the town. 1t appears that
after the election two sets of officers
were appointed, one by .Pinchback and
the other by the McEnery government.
The parish is conceded to be white, but
no returns of the election were forwarded
to either board. These appointments led
to disagreement, and few days ago
two delegations, headed by MIR. Rutland,
on the fusion side, and Mr.. Ward, on
the other, visited Governor Kellogg.
High words ensued between the CON
testants, Rutland saying that they
had the offices and We're determined to
keep them, and Ward rejoining in eff
feet that there would be no trouble
about the colOred men seating them
selves when once they made up their
minds. Both left for home, andeRs be-
fore stated, Ward opened the ball on
Wednesday, after having secured pos
session of Rutland's house, which was
