How the Nashville Party are
Spending the Time.

Special to the Union and American.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. S.-The big
drill for the silver service comes of to-
morrow, and will be participated in by a
number of Communicates. 1t is generally
admitted that the Nashville Commandery
is about as well drilled as any here, and
our boys are going to make a big effort to
carry that service to Nashville when they
return. They have the handsomest BAN
ner here, and in marching through the
streets are frequently cheered. The ladies
of our party are in excellent spirits, and
are delighted with their visit, having de-
voted most of the time 20 sightseeing.
The balls given here Tuesday night, at the
respective halls of the three Communicates
of New Orleans, were the most elegant
affairs ever gotten up in this city.
During the entire day, nearly all the
business houses on Canal, and other streets
in the central portion of the city, were
decorated with banners of various descrip-
tions in appropriate recognition of the
event, and the thoroughfares were thrOnged
with eager spectators, and it is acknowl-
edged that the demonstration even surpasses
that of last Mardi Gras day. Last
night the Knights and their ladies were
given a reception on board the fine steam
er, the Great Republic, by the Ascalon
Commandery, of st. Louis, which came
down on that steamer. To-day, various ex-
cursions up and down the river were gotten
up, the battlefield of the war Of 1872,
which is situated four miles down the river,
proving great attraction.
The races do not attract the attention
that was expected, and sporting men say
there is but little money changing hands at
the track. Most of the Nashville party
will start home this evening and to-mor-
row evening, the train which reaches Nash
vile at 12:20 at night, leaving here at 4 P.
N. the day previous. B.

now in command Of Her Majesty's ship
Challenger, has been selected 10 command
the expedition to be fitted out by Great

on the steamer Illinois for Philadelphia,
but their medical examination proving un-
satisfactory, they were again landed, and

Particulars Of the Bloody Fued Be-
tween the Ross and Downing Fac
tiOus.
VINITA, INDIAN TERRITORY, Dec. s.
information has been received here that the
recent murder and riot at Talequah, the
capital Of the Cherokee Nation, was wan
ton and cruel murder ON the part of two
members Of the mounted guard detailed by
the chief, VIM. P. Ross. 1t seems two of
the guards got drunk, went down tine street
shooting off their pistols and declaring they
wanted to kill Downing man. The first
one they came to was man
working in a stable. They killed
him, then joined their comrades
and formed in line near the postOffice.
The Downing party formed further down
the street and commenced firing at each
other. More than one hundred shots were
fired. Two men were severely wounded
and several slightly. The murderers were
protected in the pOstofhce Sunday for sever
al hours, and no effort made to have them
arrested. They finally escaped to the
country. The whole riot grew out Of the
intense bitter feeling between the two par
ties known now as the Ross and Downing
parties. Intense excitement prevailed
when our informant left, and serious
trouble is likely at any time.

BLACK HILLS.
Scientific Trophies from the Land OF
Enchanfment.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Dec. 3.-Prof. o. c.
Marsh and scientific party arrived here last
evening from the bad lands south of the
BLACK Hills. The expedition was very sue
cessful notwithstanding the extremely cold
weather and continued hostilities of the
Indians. The latter stopped the party
twice, attempted a night attack on their
camp and otherwise moleSted them. The
explorations were made under great diff
ficnlties, but resulted in important discov-
cries. About two tons of remains of tropi-
cal animals were found, among them many
new 10 science. This collection goes to
Yale College, and will soon be described

THE recent action of the Northern
Methodist Church, appropriating some
$4,000 for missionary purposes In the
South, the Memphis appeal regards as
little less than an insult to our active
Christian denominations. 1t suggests
that these thousands would be more
proftably and with better taste ap-
piled to the poor and ikneedy of the
large cities, who form an army, grow
ing In numbers, that excites the SYM
pathy of all real Christians, and dur
ing this winter must be a source of
deepest anxiety to statesmen and phi
lanthropists."

GEN. SHERMAN AND THE PRESI-
DENCY.

Crawford" of the Pittsb1trg Leader
(Rep.), in letter to that journal from
Washington, says:
Sherman's strong points iorthe Pres
idency are declared by his friends to be
his availability, growing out of his I'M
mense personal popularity and the re-
lations his family sustain to the Cath
olic Church. Not being a Roman
Catholic himself, he would lose no
votes on religious grounds, while the
zeal and activity of the church would
be quickened because of thewell- known
devotion Of his family to the cause Of
their religion. 1t is claimed also by
some that Sherman is a man of more
learning, originality and statesman
like grasp of mind than any General
developed by the war, IN addition to
being the most brilliant military
leader.
But how can such an impulsiye, un-
manageable, meteoric man get party
nomination.? Well, he will be the first
choice of the few, but the question that
the Republicans Will be compelled to
consider will be availability. That de-
termined Grants selection, and may
determine Sherman's.

SHOULD NEWSPAPER ARTICLES
BE SIGNED?
Galaxy for December.

GALAXY 1Or december.
The impersonality of the newspaper
writer gives his opinions an undeserved
weight. Impersonality has advantages
in the courageous utterances it inspires;
but it also deceives. If DR.. A. pub
fishes his views upon a disease of the
eye, if Dr. z. puts forth his theory upon
a disease of the liver, we have the Opin-
ion Of an expert; and so, if DR.. u. dis
cusses eyes and DR.. A. treats of hvers,
we know that each is out OF his special
ty, and we Judge him accord
ingly. But a newspaper concentrates
the gifts of many contributors, and
thus gradually gives the impression of
having accumulated vast stores of
knowledge and experience, ready for
use at any moment. In reality, the old
writer's may be gone, new editors may
control, or a given article may be the
product of such personal prejudices,
as. if known, would excite contempt.
In the works Of a great satirist there
is a cartoon containing three figures
walking In single file. First struts off
mass oil fine clothes; secondly, a naked
figure; thirdly, that same body, with the
clothes on. The first is called Rex; the
second LudoTicus, and third and state
lest is Ludovicus Rex; anditis clear that
TO the making up Of the final and i'm
pressive Ludovicus Rex, the Rex"
constitutes quite as imposing a part as
the Ludovicus-the gorgeous trappings
as the pitiful little man. So 1t is with
the journalist and his surroundings.
Stripped of the mysterious corporate
character that hides HIM, and with the
''impersonality" unmasked, the writer
of slashing article might dwindlc in
Importance, and his utterance, now so
sonorous and grand, might be very
much like the word of any other
among a thousand citizens; for no mat
ter how big the trun.pe it is only
man that is blowing.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 3.-COl. Sam B.
Toms, a well known railroad man and
wealthy citizen of ElizabethtOwn, died at
the Gait House in this city to night.
A special to the COHieT-JOHnGi says
Harrison COckerill was not shot by Hon.
John d. White, as first reported, but by
DR.. Shull, whose brother he killed some
years ago. The wound is thought to be
mortal.
A special to the COlTieT-JOIUpdl says
that three negroes were taken from Jail by
a band of masked men at Morganfeld,
Tuesday night, and hanged to trees, near
town. Uniontown, in the same county,
was visited by a destructive fire some
weeks since, and these negroes
had been arrested and charged with
starting the confagration. They after
wards confessed the crime, giving as an
excuse that the proprietor of the distillery
in which it was started had turned the
mother of one of the negroes out Of one of
the houses in which she was living. The
"reglIlatrOs" were mounted and are
thought to have come from UniOntOwn.

all of which passes Immediately into the

FRANCE

PARIS, Dec. 3.-The Radical Republican
journal, La Republique FrdncdiSe, says the
greatest confusion exists among the various
parties of the Assembly. Both the Right
and Left consider a dissolution imminent.
La France believes the idea of the removal
of the Assembly, by successive partial
elections, is gaining ground, and adds that
a motion to that effect will shortly be in
troduced in the Chamber.
The Presidents Message TO the As
sembIy.
The message of President MacMahon
was delivered to the Assembly this after
noon. He says that order has been main-
tanned throughout the country. Relations
with foreign governments are on an excel
lent footing; no foreign power doubts her
desire to maintain pacific relations with
all nations. The financial position
of the country has improved at
home, thanks to a good harvest. The ex-
port trade has never been so considerable
as during the last four months. Everything
now favOrs the expectation that these most
satisfactory results will be at least equalled
in 1873. The President insists strongly on
the necessity of definite legislation with re-
gard to the constitutional powers, and con-
tinues as follows:
'.Ineessantly agitated by propaganda Of
the most perniciOus doctrine, the country
asks you to guarantee, by measures, the
action Of the public powers during the
period of stability which you promised

The Civil Rights Bill.

Gen. Butler will, on Monday, insist that
the House shall come to a yea and nay
vote on the Civil Rights bill, which is No.
? on the calendar, and of which he claims
TO have special charge. 1t will require con-
siderable parliamentary skill, in view of
the position of the bill on the calendar, TO
prevent some formal vote upon it. Its
present position gives it the key to the sit
uatiOn, aud, if filibuStering is attempted to
eEade a vote, the friends Of the bill can
compel the House to waste a great deal of
time. The bill, in all its features, is the
original Sumner bill. 1t contains the OBJ
iectiOnable provision regarding mixed
schools. Some Of the friends of the bill
are endeavoIing to effect a compromise
which shall result in striking out the mix
ed-school provision. Gen. Butler does not
favor any compromise, but insists upon
direct vote upon the bill as il stands on the
calendar.
