Another heavy bank delalcation is report.
cd, this time in New York city. 1t seems
that f. l.. fainter, cashier of the Atlantic
National Bank, has been doing what many
other cashiers have tried to do and escape
detection, viz. use the funds of the bank
for private speculation. He has, as he
might have expected, ANONYMOUSLY failed in
his dishonest speculation, and the result is
that he is in Jail and the bank insolvent.
His thefts amount to 100000 and upward.

The Rutland Herald claims that Congress
had constitutional right to vote itself back
pay, and therefore it is ungentlemanly for
editors to call it grab" or steal" This
constitutional argument reminds us rather too
strongly of the old silver-gray doctrines
about the consttutionality ofslavery and the
improperly of speaking disrespectiuIly of
that patriarchal institution Suppose, iu-
stead OF s., 1000, congressman had voted them
selves 100000 apiece, it would have been
Just as constitutional. But would the Her
aid still have thought it ungentemanly to
use those plain words And if not, will it
say where, in its opinion, it would begin to be
gentlemanly to call things by their right
names2

shooting ARRAY in Davenport

A disgraceful row occurred in low, dis
reputable place in Davenport between eight
and nine o'clock Sunday evening, caused
by whisky, women and spirit of rowdy-
ism, in which one man was shot and bruised
faces pretty evenly distributed, The case,
as stated to our reporter, is about as iei-
lows Two women, Carrie Wells and Mary
Parsons, had been out riding, and on re-
turning, stopped with their escorts at so
called restaurant, near the corner OF sec
end and lie Claire streets, for refresh
ments. While there, one Chas. McCarty,
well known along the river cities as des-
perate chara1ter--a gun boat boy-and
known as a shoemaker by trade in Daven-
port, came into the house and called one OF
the girls into the the front room, saying he
wished to speak to her He demanded
that she should go with him and, after re-
peated refusals he knocked her down
twice, giving her an ugly black eye and
cut lip. Covered with blood, she escaped
from him. Just as McCarty was leaving
the house by the back door, a party from
Rock Island came in-Wm kale, Jr.,
Charles Schlotter, and Albert Foot. See
ing the state Of affairs, they demonstrated,
calling McCarty by some deserved appella-
tons, whereupon he invited them out TO
fight. kale accepted the challenge, and
was getting the worst of it. when his two
companions took hand in Three shots
were fired, one Of which took effect in Me
Carly right side, traversing the ribs and
coming out near the back He also re
ceived several blows about the head from
rocks. The Davenport police were soon on
the spot, but the three Rock Islanders had
left for this side. Later in the night Foot
and Schlotter We're arrested and lodged in
our county Jail to await the action of the
Davenport authorities Kale could not be
found, MeCarty's injuries are not fatal
The locality of the affair is trequented By
disreputahle parties, some from this city
and some FROM Moline, whose names are
IN our possession, and we are more than
half inclined to publish them.
There seems to be no reason why the
Rock Island boys should dodge. They can t
escape the consequences OF their acts, and
might as well 90 over and have an examin-
alton If the facts are as stated they need
not fear anything very serious. They
