Arrest Of A. B. Phillips, Esq.
He is to be Taken from the
City.

Last night Special Officer Pierson arrested
A. b. Phillips, Esq, who killed Mr. Arlstlde
Bienvenu in a duel near Bay st. Louis.
After..Mr Phillips had been brought to the
Police Station he was placed i'll custody OF
one Duval, an officer of Governor Ames, of
Mississippi.
The charge against Mr. Phillips was IN
der The dueling laws of that State. 1t is
probable that that gentleman will have to
remain in prison during the summer, as the
court does not meet until fall. Officers
from our neighboring State have been in the
city for some time past, looking for those
gentlemen who participated ia number OF
duels lately fought, but this is the first
arrest
1t would seem Gov. Ames desires to annoy
the citizens of this State, as it is evident no
jury can be obtained in Mississippi which
will convict one for fighting a duel. Kel-
logg is known to have had full knowledge
Of one fought at Bay st. Louis, and yet he
recognized the requisition from Ames. The
whole matter looks like persecution similar
to that those gentlemen endured in the late
Wood Bachemin affair.

A SHOOTING ARRAY IN ST. BERNARE

A difficulty of a serious character occurred
at Ducros Station, in the parish of ST. Ber
nard. about eleven miles below the city, on
Sunday evening at $ o'clock, between Messrs.
Francis Artieta, merchant of the parish,
and Conner, his son-in-law. and Mr.. Chip
man, late SERGEANT of Police, in which Messrs
Conner and Chapman were both wounded.
The difficulty .seems to have had it's origin
in family differences.
The atfray took place at the door Of Mr.
Artieta's place of business, where no one
but the parties were present.
1t appears, by the statement of Mr.. Con-
nor, to have begun in an alteration between
his father-in-law and himself, in which both
drew pistols.
An investigation will, no doubt, elicit the
particulars.

New YORK, June s.-The merchants and
members of the Chamber of Commerce. at
a meeting held this afternoon, adopted reso-
buttons making a Special Committee on
Revenue Reforms to urge upon the Senate
imperative necessity for the relief of our
merchants, and praying them to pass the
bill now before them.
Copies of the resolutions were ordered to
be sent to each member of Congress. Jack
son Shnltz received the history of the bill
which had been passed by the House.
The bill went to the Finance Committee,
which concluded to pass it with a slight
amendment, but action was delayed. The
merchants along the seabOard would, he
thought, suffer most.
He ha1 kilograms from Mainland and
other places, stating that preliminary suits
bad already been begun there, and it was
almost confident that on the adjournment
of Congress books and papers would be
seized Unfortunately.
The following were appointed a commit
tee to proceed to Washington:

The Radicals are already at work for the
coming campaign. Barbecues are being
held in number Of the parishes, and the
bag pipes of the faithful are summoning tho
clans to perfect their already thorough or
ganization. Mr.. DeslOnde, Secretary OF.
State, left the city Saturday to make the
grand rounds through some of the countss
parishes. 1t is not beyond the bounds AFT
possibility that there is a movement on feoS
to leave out in the cold the white RepaDn+~
cans, for those who lead the colored mem
seem to be more dictatorial in their de
mands. We have but little doubt but whAa
the issues will be brought down to the qnes~
ton of the white and black races for the
next election. Everything looks that way
now.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Charles Francis
Adams in a letter to Senator Window eX-
presses, in the light of his experience as
Erie Railroad Commissioner, dissatisfaction
with both the McCrary bill to regulate the
transportation by rail as going a great deal
too far, aud with Mr. Windom,A suggestion
of simple measure for investigation.
which don't go far enough.
Mr. Adams does not believe it possible for
any nine men, no matter how honest and ex-
perienced, to properly revise the running
railroad tariffs as used in the United States,
and, even if they could, that they would be
able to reach the root of the present diff
ticulty.
The difficulty is the natural outgrowth of
the whole system and theory of railroad
construction, and it cannot be eradlcated
without upsetting the system, that of pri-
vate ownership, regulated by competition.
WASHINGTON, June Messrs Sheridan
and Plnchback argue their cases this even
ing at the bar of the House. Each has an
hour.
The London Morning journals report an
earl missing from the city.
A dispatch from Liverpool, says the Cou-
rier, states that.his name is Earl Marlborough.

WASHINGTON, June S.-A Republican ca :
Gus of both houses was announced to be

WASHINGTON, June "a caucus of the
Republican Senators and Representatives
was held in the Hall of the House of Repre-
senfatives tonight, Senator Chandler i'll the
chair, and Representatives Parsons, of Ohio,
and Lynch. Of Mississippi, acting as secre-
tares.
A proposition was offered that a congress
siOnal committee be appointed in view OF the
coming elections. This was opposed by
Kelly, of Pennsylvania who thought the APP
polntment of such a committee unnecessary,
as every man should go before the people in
his own way.
Senator Chandler explained the political
situation and gave reasons why the COM
mittee should be appointed, saying tat a
service in the party.
Mr.. Lynch (colored), of Mississippi, while
opposing the appointment ofthe committee,
spoke of the necessity Of pushing the civil
rights BILL and said the colored voters in
future, as heretofore, would support the
Republicans, there being no other party to
which they could go.
Others spoke, but as the financial question
was sought to be introduced, and as it was
feared this might produce discord, the eau
Gus avoided it by adopting the pending res
olution, and therefore the committee was
ordered to be appointed, each State delega-
ton selecting member, the selections to be
hereafter reported to the officers OF the
meeting. The caucus then adjourned
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to-day received dispatch from Supervisor
Perry, announcing the capture and destruc-
ton of five illicit distilleries in North
