Reckless Journalism.

1t is alleged that General McCook lays
the death of his wife at the door of CORE
spondent of a Chicago morning paper, who
broke her heart by circulating Infamous re-
ports concerning her. The correspon-
paper denying the allegation, but
it is said that General McCook
will not accept the denial, and will take
the chastisement of the man into his own
hands. We do not know the truth of the
charge, but ifwell founded there is no pun
lshment too severe for the scoundrel who
would thus malign an innocent woman.
This shows what that excessive smartness
and reckless and defamatory style of writ
ing which so many people admire will ac-
complish in the end. 1t may not be
now and on this occasion, but some of
these days lesson will be taught these
men which, though it be severe, will be
salutary and richly merited. PiHsJatyQ

Another Attempt to Commit
Suicide.

About 7:3O A. NJ. yesterday, lady o.
quite respectable appearance jumped from
the Canal street ferry when twenty or thirty
yards from the Algiers wharf. After float
ing some two hundred yards she was rescued
by parties near at hand in skltf. She wal
taken, quite insensible and life almost ex
tinct, to the Office of Dr. W. H. Riley, who
after an hour or more, succeeded in restoring
her.
The doctors professional opinion, to
gether with her candid statement, gives
room for doubt as to the intention to COM
NIT suicide.
Friday, in consequence of the excessive
heat, the lady, who was previously in i'll
health, was attacked by vertigo and fell in
the street, slept but little during the night,
and arose early to take ride on the ferry
to Algiers, when nearing the wharf, while
standing near the gangway, was seized with
giddiness and fell.
We suggest that some Of these extra Off
GERS be placed on this ferry to prevent sui
cides, which the hard times and heavy
taxation induce. Notwithstanding that the
alarm was given, it is stated parties on the
boat made no attempt at rescue.

A Family Chloroformed.
The House Burglarized.

Between the hours Of 3 and yesterday
morning the residence of Mr.. A. H. Les
trapes, No. 14s First street, was entered by
some unknown burglars, who effected thei1
entrance through the dining-room window
leading into the side alleyway. They sue
ceeded in taking away 500 worth of jewelry
which they found in the pockets of Mr.
Lestrapes' clothing, which they dragged
into the dining-room.
They then proceeded to appropriate the
silverware and had already tied it up in a
shirt for the purpose of carrying it off, but
it is supposed that they were frightened by
the crying of one of the children who was
taken sick during the night, and they made
their escape Just as Mr.. and Mrs. Lestrapes
awoke, who found that they had been chic
reformed. They Immediately arose; and, go
ing into the dining room, where they found
everything topsy turvy, and discovered their
loss.
The thieves seem to have been rather par
ticular in their selection, as several pieces
of oroide jewelry were found on the table,
where the scoundrels had tested it with acid
and laid it aside as not worth their carrying
away. They then entered the residence of
Mr.. Chas. Pratt, No. LAG First street, and
after going through the kitchen and dining
room, left in disgust as they found nothing
light enough for them to take away

word of friendly advice to the young. l

yard for nigh on to twenty years. and have
undergone many sad vicissitues with my
neighboring sisters. Ny coffin has moulded

might be soothing to others is wOrrit and

going on over my head Sunday afternoons
annoys me. Giddy girls and hobbledehoys

know you always defended the under dog in
the fight, speak a word for us damp, I'M

After experiencing a chill on the receipt
of the above Growler came to the realiza-
ton OF the fact that there was considerable
truth in what the old lady said. We have
noticed with regret this resting place of the
dead frequently is made the scene Of levity
and mirth. To visit the spot is proper, but
not for the purpose of sport.

pricef 1t is fast becoming the rule in this
city, regret to own it, to keep the day Ia
borers, ard other employees, ont Of the bread
money, earned in the sweat of the face, as
long as it is possible: say from ten days to
any greater possible number.
And the plan adopted by our City
Fathers is an abomination, to put it mildly.
The employees of the city receive, after a
delay of ten or fifteen lays, a certificate that
days service rendered and thon they are
compelled by their necessities to sell those
certificates to brokers, who seem to have
formed ring for the purpose of purchasing
those time certificates at the greatest posi-
BILE discOunt-say from twenty to fifty per
cent. Are not those certificates receivable
for taxes' If SO, to what extent Please
enlighten us.
This seems to be specializing in the life's
blood Of the labOrer, does it mott
Is there no way by which funds can be
found to pay those sons Of toll in currency

If not, had we not just as well end this
whole city government, upon the ground
that it is too expensive, and in its place Or
ganiZe volunteer government, and dis
pense with the half million dollar police,
substituting therefor a citizen patrol Let
the owners and Occupiers CT each square OF
the city organize and police that particular
square. There are honest citizens enough to
be found, who, under the circumstances,
would be enabled to agree upon practi-
cable plan of doing SO, without hope Of
fee or reward, if once the matter were
presented to them in clear terms.
Give us your views upon these suggestions,
if you please. COMMON SENSE.

able for taxes as follows: For taxes Of

preciate the hardship endured by working
men in waiting for the money they SO dearly

present State government is more than
mortal can do. This is only one OF those
cases where the people feel the oppressive
effect of usurpatiOn.

An ARRAY.
A Cane the Weapon.

Yesterday afternoon the neighborhood Of
the corner of Poydras and Carondelet streets
was considerably exercised over little
affair between two newspaper men. 1t
seems that, some time since, correspondent
of prominent Chicago paper sent on a
letter, in which celebrated Radical female
politician was anything but complimented.
She was compared to lady whose name
has gone into French history as one of the
shrewdest of wire workers.
The writer of the letter was for some time
unknown, but after the lapse Of weeks it
gradually leaked out who was the author.
One Of the Picayuae corps, meeting the
gentleman on Carondelet street yesterday
evening. asked if he was the writer. The
correspondent responded that he was, where
mon the Picapune man dealt him a severe
blow over the left forehead with cane,
which was soon followed by another over
the head The Chicago correspondent was
considerably stunned by this shower of
blows and reeled backwards, when bystand-
ers at once interfered and separated the
parties.
As soon as both of the gentlemen were
separated the crowd dispersed.

The gentleman who penned the subjOined

ton of the ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, which distinguish the Plea

even defective firearms and other weapons.

excuse for respectable citizens making walk

Cotton Anoat.

In reply to our correspondent, who asked
about cotton shipments, we would say that
after inquiry we learn that the largest load
of cotton ever sent from our wharves was
seven thousand bales, on board the ship
Ocean Monarch, just before the war. Re-
garding the carrying capacity per ton, it is
generally conceded that sailing vessel will
carry three bales per ton measurement, and
steamers not quite so much. A 5000 ton
steamer would carry upwards Of $500 bales.

A supposititious Case.

Mr.. Growler-Now that the efficiency and
regularity Of the police are under discussion
perhaps your investigations may enable
you to give the desired information in re-
gard to a case that may arise.
For instance: Suppose public journal
should become obnoxious by exposing the
sinsOf officials, both of omission and commits
clude to silence said journal by the taking
off Of one or more of its editors, would it BE-
possible under q well regulated and efficient
police system, to secure the services of two
or more of the force to do the job9
In case an arrangement could be made,
would it be possible for the men thus en-
gagged to leave their beats, appear on the
streets in citizens dress, and be recognized,
without the knowledge, connivanoe or con-
forcef
In case such an arrangement could be
effected, what would be the probable cost !
and would it subject the party Of the first
part making it to subsequent levies of

Inquirer's letter reads like some of those
missives Of the days of the Borgias. The
hints so delicately thrown about past
event evidences some knowledge of that of
which he writes. If in our city case like
his suppositious one could occur, it is time
the manhood Of our people had asserted it.
