At the last session of the Leglsla

pretext of taxing the city railroads.
which at the time we exposed and
derided, and which as we predicted
was treated with contemptuous indif'
ference by those corporations, aud
this fimsy dodge is Row attempted to
be made the cover for the present ap-
preparation on the ground that the
State was irrevocable committed TO
the appropriation. Last winter men,
bers of the Legislature had not the
hardihood to vote directly for an ap-
preparation, but since then the friends
of the measure have so industriously
labored to suppress all expressions OF
hostility to it, and SO appealed to
State pride, that members fancied
that they could now do with impu-
nity what last session they dared not
do. In this they are grossly mista-
ken, as they will discover if they will
make inquiry among their constitu-
ents at home.
We tell Governor Hartranft plain
ly, that among the tax payers in this
portion of the State there is no di-
vided sentiment, and that they look
to him for an intimation of that pow

much to the advantage of the Com

his admirable veto of the Somerset

of the capture eff Bender, the noted
Kansas assassin, by the Mormon

was arrested in Sewer County, and
lodged in Jail in San Pete county.

BLoopsHEp is threatened in Arkan'
sas. growing out of the election held
in that State in 1872. when Governor
Baxter was installed as the duly elec
ted Governor. His election was con-
tested by his opponent, Mr.. Brooks
and in 1873 the Legislature on a re-
count of the vote decided that Bax-
ter was chosen. Legal proceedings
were then instituted by Brooks, and
last week the Supreme Court decided
that he was entitled 10 the Office, the
Judge granting writ of custer. I'M
mediately Brooks took forcible pos
session of the Capitol, ejecting Bax-
ter, and surrounding the building with
an armed guard. Baxter has declar-
ed martial law, the citizens are arm
ing, and collision is declared to be
imminent. The President has been
appealed to, but declines TO interfere.
Last accounts state that the War De-
partment has ordered an officer to
Little Rock TO prevent telegraphic
communications with Washington
from being interfered with.

ARRAY Between . Lawyer and . Mer.

LOUISVILLE, April l4.-About ii
O'Clock this morning w. X. Abbott
a prominent lawyer of this city, and
John r. Green, a member of the firm
Gorton, Gait d Co., bankers, met
near the entrance of the Court House,
when some words passed between
them, and the lie was given. Abbott
then struck Green with cane, when
the lattr drew pistol and fred three
times, the shot taking effect in
Abbott's right side, the center of his
breast, and through his right shoulder.
There are conflicting statements in
relation TO who struck the FIRST blow.
Green was arrested. Abbott is lying
in very critical condition. The
unfortunate affair created profound
sensation, as both parties are widely
known and highly respected.

CLERGYNEN

are the favorite victims of black
mailers, for their position is so pecu-
liar and uncertain. In their cases
the services of some fair but abandon
ed women are brought inte requisi-
tion. Some years ago distinguished
preacher in a Broadway chucrh resign
ed bis charge and left the city bro
ken-hearted, because he had permit
ted himself to be plundered by band
of men and women who had combin-
ed to place him in position. His
friends felt that he was innocent, and
yet they advised him to go, because
weakness had put him under suspi-
cion. He had deems ent for to consoal
adying woman and be went, and was
ushered into her room, and left alone
with her, and was then surprised by
a confederate, who claimed to be the
woman's husband. The house was
a regular trap, the woman prosti-
tute, and the two were black-mailers
but it was enough. He was weak
enough to pay once, and then it was
all over with him. Paying was an
evidence of guilt, and, innocent of
guilt as child, he was compelled to
resign his charge and leave the city.
But it did not end with this. His
prosecutors followed him to his new
home, and extorted more money, for
every step he took to relieve himself.
only put him more securely in their
hands. He was compelled, finally
to leave the ministry. But they do
not always succeed so well. Not
long after another clergymen ap-
preached in the same way, laid very
neat trap, and had his aecusers
brought TO shame. He thus saved
himself q lifelong trouble.
The only way to defy them, aud
utterly refuse to pay. That ends it.
They have no reason to div ulge
what they know; in fact, when their
secret is made common property, it
ceases to have any value to them.
They always leave such people
alone.
