OUR dispatches yesterday announced
that the bill removing the disabilities

cratic candidate for mayor of Dallas,

SOME persons are trying to injure
General Cabell by insinuating that he
isaringma,i, and to sustain the charge

water works proposition. That Is true.
He was one of a company who made
proposals to the city to put up water
works for Dallas, subject to vote of the
people. Mayor Long and the city
council agreed to the propositions. An
election was ordered and the measure
was defeated by one vote. General
Cabell at once withdrew the whole
matter, and has had nothing to do with
the hoestion,sinee, nor has he any idea

Murder in Grant dsAh.
The Nations Wards Killing
One Another.
Violence and Lawlessness the
Order Of the Day.

We learn from the passengers by the
steamer Bart Able, just down from Grand
Ecore, that on the night Of last Saturday,
the 23d inst, colored man at Colfax muir
dered his wife about some trifling matter,
by Draining her with his pistol, MASKING
her skull completely in, and causing her
death almost instantly.
Just as the boat reached Colfax on Tues
day night, on her down trip, negro
woman was shot and instantly killed by an
other woman, at negro ball.
We learn frOm the same gentlemen that
all the officers Of the law are absent from
the parish seat, without a single exception,
and that the most complete lawlessless
reigns among the nations wards in Grant
parish. This condition of affairs is the
legitimate result Of Radical teachings, and
calls for some action on the part Of State
Government SO ready to Cypress and perse-
cute white people, for protecting their
lives and property from the depredations of
just such negro mobs as now hold full sway
at Colfax.
Let us have Badger, De Klyne & Co.,
with Kellogg's body guard, to put down
bloodshed and crime in Grant parish,
among the negroes this time.

CURIOUS REQUEST OF A MURDERER
Clark Evans, hopeful youth twenty one
years of age, who is soon to be executed at
Carrollton, Illinois, for the murder of John
w. Holbert, has made a confession, in which
he admitsithat the deed was committed for
money. The confession concludes with the
following extraordinary request:
l know / have been guilty of terrible
crime, and have no doubt that will be
hung. If 80, do not want to be hung in
Jail, but in public, where everybody can
witness it, especially the little boys have
little brother at home that want to see
me hung, and want my father to bring
him. think it would be an advantage to
boys to see such sight.
1t is rather new thing for a malefactor
to especially desire that his g little brother
and his father should see him hung. The
report states that Evans is now vigorously
studying the Bible.

A MORTAL DUEL.

There have been many rumors current
on the street relative to a duel ON the taps,
between two gentlemen, natives of this
city. Many supposed that it was to have
taken place yesterday morning, and those
who thought they knew the place, took an
an early start for the grounds, but they were
disappointed, for it was only until five
o'clock last evening that both parties were
on the ground.
The cause of the meeting between Mr.. A
Guillotte and Mr.. Piseros grew out of some
private matters with which the public have
nothing to do. The terms of the meeting
were that the weapons were to be the usual
dueling pistols, the distance ten PAGES, and
both parties to advance after the word
Fire" and shoot at will. Promptly at the
appointed hoar both principals were placed
in position, and after tossing for position
and word, the respective friends withdrew
on either side, and in a cool and clear voice
the word was given: Gentlemen, are you
ready Firen' and the fame flashed from
Mr. Guillotte's pistol; Mr.. Piseros, without
firing, fell wounded in the left side.
The usual conrtesies were exchanged by
the seconds, and the physicians at once de-
voted their attentions to the wounded man.
Those present approaching the serious
character of the wound, sent to the city for
other physicians, who arrived on the spot in
short time.
The fight took place in the rear of Bonne-
bells farm, on the Metarie Ridge. At the
hour Of 10 P. NJ, we learned that Mr.. Pise-
ros was still alive according to the state
ment of our informant

The Crops.

rain Is the general cry in St. James. The
crops in that parish, with the exception OF
corn, are doing well, and general satisfac-
ton is expressed at the present prospects.
SO says the Sentinel of the 9th.
In Claiborne parish the Homer Advooate
of the 23d inst states that the failure Of
the crops is probable, owing to the want Of
rain. Gentlefdy.wwho have travelled over
all parts Of the parish say that there is
nothing in their remembrance like it. It is
needless to disguise the fact, and fact it is
beyond doubt-Claiborne parish is about to
experience the most trying year ever known.
The Natchitoches Ne,cs says: Vegetation
Of all kinds is suffering from drouth. Crop
prospects are very unfayorable. The river
is falling very fast, and navigation will soon
be st N end in Cane River.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT,
A Little Child Run Over by Street Car,
but Not Seriously Injured.

Yesterday evening, about 3 o'clock, as a
Baronne street car was On it's way up town,
and when about nalf way between Poydras
and Lafayette streets, a little girl about four
years old attempted to dart suddenly across
the street, either not seeing the car, or think
ing to pass it. Unfortunately she struck
the front of the car and was knocked vio-
lently down, her head falling out from the
track, but her right leg was caught under
the front wheel, which together with the
hind wheel, passed over it.
Marvellous to relate when the poor little
sufferer was picked up by her father, Mr..
L. Schummer, it was discovered that while
limb was dreadfully bruised there were no
bones broken. This seems almost incredi-
BILE. especially when it is known that the
car was nearly filled with people and there
was nothing whatever to lessen the shock
or protect the limb from the sharp edges of
the pitiless wheels. Mr.. Schummer keeps a
grocery at No. lao Baronne street, and his
little daughter was playing about in front
OF the store, as children will.
We have heard no blame attached to the
car driver.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial to the st. Louis Republican.
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-The Civil Rights
bill which passed the Senate on Saturday
morning is now on the Speakers table in
the House. The Judiciary Committee OF
the latter body agreed this morning to
recommend the passage of the Senate bill
instead of the one framed by the House
committee, in order to insure the passage
at this session of a civil rights bill. An
effort is to be made to amend the bill SO as
to include barber shops and lighthouses in
the public concerns in which civil rights
shall be accorded to all races. Such fea-
ture as this would make the bill somewhat
distasteful to it's warmest advocates, even
among the colOred people.
But the justice and propriety of providing
for equal civil rights in barber shops and
lighthouses are apparent and as essentially
necessary as in the cases of hotels, restau-
rants, bar-roOms, railroads and theatres.
The action of the house to-day in refusing
to take up the bill, by vote of 153 ayes to
50 noes, two thirds in favor being required,
demonstrates that when the bill does come
up it will succeed, unless it is amended as
above indicated. There are great many
who will only be glad to seize upon an ex-
cuse Of this kind to vote against the whole
measure. There is very little enthusiasm
for the bill in any quarter except among the
colored people themselves.
ALTERATIONS IN THE TARIFF BILL.
The Committee on Ways and Means to-
day made alterations and additions to the
Tariff bill before reporting it to the House.
The bill, as recently published, is correct,
with the following exceptions: All still
wines are to pay 40 cents per gallon in
casks, and 81 so per dozen quarts or twenty
four pints in bottles. There is proviso
that any wines imported containing more
than twenty-five per cent. of alcohol shall
be forfeited to the United States. Maccaroni
and vermicelli cents, and similar prepare
tions cents pound. AnchOvies and sar
dimes in oil, in boxes, Is cents per whole
box, u cents per half box, 4 cents per
quarter box, and in any other form GO per
cent. ad valorem. Bags, other than Of Ameri-
can manufacture, in which grain shall have
been actually exported from the United
States. may be returned to the United States
free of duty, under regulations to be pre-
scribed by the Secretary Of the Treasury.
All machinery adapted exclusively to the
manufacture Of ramie, jute or fax, may be
admitted into the United States free of duty
for two years from the LIST of July next.
THE RECEIPTS OF INTERNAL REVENUE
for the current fiscal year, up to the close Of
business hours to-day, were $4,000, 600.
Commissioners estimate for the year was
500, 0OO,0 900; thirty-fve days remain in
which to collect the remaining $4,000, 900,
and it is estimated that the total receipts
will exceed the estimate from 81 ,O0O, 900 to
A. 600 600
