A QUARREL AT CARDs.-Thursday after
noon, in st. Bernard parish, at the racket
ground near the police station of the fifth
sub precinct, Mr.. James Corners, ex-Ser-
geant of Police Cripman, and Officer Smith,
were playing cards. Sergeant GOttschalk
came in and asked to be allowed to Join.
Alter some demurring he was admitted and
a game was played, which Gottschalk lost
The game was then changed to seven up,
aud Gottschalk and his partner won. Con
nOrs accused him of cheating, and at the
third game took the stakes. Gottschalk
snapped pistol at him, and Conners took
jr from him and struck him over the head
with it. Gottschalk then took Smiths pis-
tol from bench and fired. Cripman took
chat pistol away and Goltschalk went off.
Subsequently he came back aud said he
wanted to make friends, but Corners said
he had a knife in his hand. Nobody had
been hurt up to this time. A tusse between
Corners and Gottschalk followed, and q
shot was fired by some one, by which the
latter was wounded. Corners claims that
no demanded search then of all parties
and the only revolver found was in Colts
chalk's possession. Yesterday Officer Smith
arrested both C0nnsrs and Cripman, and
locked them up in the third precinct sta
lion, where they now are. Gottschalk is
said to have been shot through the groin.

tract. The Herald does not care one cent
about the Republican party, whether it
lives or dies; the Tribune is anxious to kill
it as soon as possible, for the reason that its
continued existence is the evidence of its
own loss of influence; the Sun wants it to
die because its editor has failed to obtain
the honor and consideration he expected at
its hands. As the American says, these
Journals declare that to nominate President
Grant would be to invite certain and swift
destruction. When their public utterances
are compared with their private and per-
sonal opinions and wishes. the conclusion
is inevitable that they do not believe what
they print, and that they fully understand
that if President Grant were renominated
his reelection would be inevitable. That
is the logic of their position.
Our contemporary adds: off theressshould
"be another effort to dissolve the Union,
land another rebellion to suppress, during
"the next two years, President Grant
"might possibly yield to apopular demand
"for his reelection for third term, but
eve do not believe that he has any real
"desire to secure denomination. 1t will
"be remembered that when questioned as
"to his intention to be candidate for re-
" election for second term his answer was
"that he thought it would be time enough
"to answer that question after renomina-
"tion had been rendered to him. He
maintained then the same silence that he
"does now, and whenever a Republican
"assemblage of sufficient importance to
"speak with authority seeks his opinion on
"the subject we have no doubt but that he
Twill give it to them in unmistakable Ian
"guage. Such convention, representing
1.-The Republicans of all the Southern and
border States, will assemble at Chatta-
"nooga in a few weeks, and we have no
"doubt that if such an honor is rendered
''to him by that body it will be promptly
"and emphatically declined" The indif-
ference of the Republican party to the ques-
ton seems to be calling to the journals we
have named For months and months they
have been calling upon the President and
bis friends Ito make a statement" upon the
question. The failure to respond to their
demands has almost set them crazy hence
the resort to all manner Of ingenious expe-
dients to induce an answer. OF this char
acter is the suggestion that the Southern
Republican convention to meet at Chatta-
nooga should make the formal offer, and
thus place the President in position where
he would be, as it were, compelled to speak.
The whole affair is very transparent trick
of the enemy. The Southern convention
is not called for the purpose of considering
the next Presidency. 1t is nearly two years
in advance of the time when it is proper or
eXpedient for the party to even discuss it.
The convention will let the subject severely
alone unless it wishes to play into the hands
of the enemy. What we need now in the
party is not dissension about the next Pres
idency, but united councils, vigor and de-
termination to honestly and fesrlessly dis
charge the duties of the present and Of the
near future. The Presidential question will
take care of itself in 1876. Hands of.

In SEVERAL % Letters from the People"
which we have printed recently the allie
CATION has been made that Crime is unu-
sually prevalent in our midst meaning
in the District Like many other EXPIRES
sions of opinion from that source, we have
allowed these allegations a place in our
columns simply because we desire to give
the People full opportunity for the publ
cation of individual views; but we desire
now to contradict them most emphaticslly.
The District to-day is better governed, so
far as the repression of crime is concerned,
than it ever has been before, and both life
and property are better protected. 1t must
be remembered that our population is ever
shifting, and that many changes take place
in the course of a year in the personnel Of
the lower classes, from which il is gener-
ally supposed the ranks of crime are re-
Cruited; and, further, that our population
grows with unprecedented rapidity. But
with all this the criminal record Of the
District compares fayOrably with that of
any other community of its size in the
country. Unlike other metropolitan COM
munities, we have no regularly organized
bands of thieves, and no strata of society
like that which under the names of Plug
Uglies" and Dead Rabbits" disgraced our
sister city of Baltimore not many years ago.
Perhaps we cannot raise our voice to other
cities and cry I'VE are holier than thou, /"
but, thanks to our efficient detective corps,
the annals of crime in our midst are circum-
scribed mainly to petty larcenies, and we
are free from the affiiction of a numerous
criminal class.

though most of his time was spent In hunting
up the Ku-Klux. At a subsequent visit in
1872 he paid more attention to the financial
affairs of the State, and wrote quite number
Of letters to the Tribune, which read very
much like they were prepared in the office Of
the Charleston Mems or the Courier"
1t seems that the burden of Mr.. Smalley's
letter was an attempt to prove that Mr.. Cham
berlain, the Republican candidate for Cover
nor, was implicated in the famous Moses frauds.
The Union proves conclusively that smaIley
either knew nothing about the facts or was
grossly misled in his information regarding
them. For instance, he charged that Mr..
Chamberlain, as member of the "Financial
Board, +" was responsible for the issue Of GER
tain State bonds, when the truth is that, as
attorney general of the State, he had nothing
to do with them except TO aid in fixing the
price for which they were sold, in the execu-
ton of which duty the Governor and State
treasurer were the leading and responsible Off
Gals. Other charges Of similar character
are disposed of in ar equally satisfactory man
ner by the Union, and Mr.. Smalley is pilloried
for public gaze as the INSCRIPTIONS servant of
an INSCRIPTIONS master. Rut it makes little
difference what the Tribune says nowadays
regarding such matters. The day of its inhu-
ence has passed.

THOSE "noble, heightened Southrons, l"
who complain so much of Northern tyranny
and of the despotic rule of the Republican
party, have but little to say regarding the
proceedings before the courts Of the United
States except as they relate to purely polit-
ical affairs, as for instance, the decision of
Judge Duren in the Louisiana case. They
probably purposely ignore the fact that in
every case brought before those courts In
the South, wherein personal rights and
privileges were involved, the judgments or
decisions rendered have been exceedingly
lenient Even in the Ku-Klux cases, in
which Reverdy johnson, one of the sttor-
neys for the defence, was forced to disclaim
against the enormity of the crimes of his
clients, the sentences pronounced by Judge
Bond, and all of the Southern District and
Circuit judges were prompted by an evil
dent desire to correct a serious social evil
rather than to punish the criminals as they
deserved TO be punished. Not only is this
the fact regarding the Ku-Klux trials, but
also as regards internal revenue cases, in
very few of which has the full extent of
punishment authorized by law been in
ficted upon persons convicted of its viola
ton. In short, the record of the judgments
of this class rendered by the courts of the
General Government in the South since
the close Of the war shows very plainly the
intent Ofthe Government to admOnish rather
than to punish.

THLRD.TERM POINTs

The Baltimore American has some sensi-
bic suggestions upon the Third-term agita-
ton and the intense anxiety of some of the
opposition papers on the subject 1t saws
elf President Grant were as unpopular as
"they Cthe Herald, Tribune, Sun, &c. \
" intimate they could not adopt more sure
"mode of securing the election of Demo-
"cratic President than to have him renom-
I" mated. If the Republican party is as
"dead as they predict and desire it to be,
"what difference should it be to these gen.
"tlemen whom it places in nomination for
''the doubtful honor of being defeated by
L" the triumphant Democracy with the aid
"of John Cochran's corporal's guard. To
"defeat President Grant would place the
Democratic party in more permanent
position of ascendency than their triumph
lover any other nominee the party could
bring forth. Such triumph would be
"the Reputation Of Republican principles,
"snd give charter to the victors to go into
call the extremes of folly that distinguished
the administration of Andrew johnson
"lftheir predictions aud representations
"were honest, they would look for, hope
for, and do all in their power to induce
"the Republican party to place General
'fGTant in nomination for third term.
There are some hOme-cuts in the above ex-
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-10-06

THE Buffalo Courier says: cat the
Southern Republican convention at Chat
''tanOoga the scheme of Grant for a third
''term is to be launched by Senator Patter-
'fson, of South Carolina, and Chamberlain. "
Reports of this character are being printed
in all the Democratic papers. The object
of them is to influence the elections in the
North this fall and help the opposition.
Senator Patterson, we have the best rea-
sons to know, does not contemplate any
thing so absurd and foolish as the launch
ing of the third-term scheme. The next
Presidential election is nearly two years of,
and the time has not yet come to con-
slider il.

The Columbia Is c. linton, replying to
recent letter regarding affairs in that State,
which appeared in the columns Of the New
York Tribune, says, ';the writer of that letter
was Mr.. E. V. smalley, one of the attaches of
the Tribune, who spent several weeks in this
State during the Ku-Klux times. Mr.. Small
ley is genial gentleman, Of great vanity, and
is possessed OF fair share Of conceit. He
came to this State as the regular correspond
ent Of the Tribune, then one of the stauncbest
Republican journals in the country, and he
rendered effective service in Ku-Klux times
which will not soon be forgotten Like this
great chief, Mr.. Greeley, he has wandered
from the Republican fold, and is now doing all
that lies in his power to destroy the great
party which made It possible for person of
Smalley's calibre to secure recognition. His
visit to this State three years since made him
acquainted with most Of the public men, al
