NEW YORK.

New York, May 5.--The members of
the Coopers International Unions of this
and neighboring cities met together in
large numbers last evening to protest
against the combination of certain en-
pldyers who have bound themselves not
to employ any Union coopers. This
combination of employers, the men say,
will last until they find they can't re-
cruit their workshops from the East and
West.
Ex-Congressmen John Morrissey and
John Fox, both members Of the Tam
many Hall General Committee, met last
evening in the bar room of Maison
Doree. Their friendly talk gradually
changed into dispute and eliminated
in wrangle, each accusing the other of
unfaithfulness and intrigue. At length
Morrissey offered to bet $4,000 that Fox,
now State Senator, could not be re-
elected or elected to any Office in the
city. Senator toxs reply was an oter
to wager Morrissey that he could not be
elected to any Office. A war of words
followed, which ended by Morrissey call
ing Fox id liar. The Senator asked
Morrissey to retract what he had said.
Morrissey declined to do SO, and put up
his hands. Fox, whose hands were en-
cased in kid gloves, asked Morrissey to
put down his hands. saying t" You do
not mean to hit me7" "No," replied
Morrissey, 81 don't want to hit you.
You gambler, you dare not hit me"
said Fox, advancing Atthis Morrisss5
stepped forward and struck Fox in the
face and butted him in the head thrice.
As he put himself in position to deliver
another blow mutual friends interfered
aud separated them. Fox's face was
bruised and slightly cut.

TWO SPANIARDS.
Don Carries and the Cure of santa
Cruz.


Monsieur U. L. Thieblin, better known
by his literary name of Azsnat Batuk,
in his new book on Spain and the Span
iards, describes the personal appear
ance of the Spanish pretender Don Car
los as follows
His face, since he began to wear a
full beard, mas Become quite handsome,
though slightly soldering aspect of his
mouth, and the deficiency of teeth
hereditary in the Spanish Bourbon
house. spoils the first pleasing express
sion. OF the sovereign, the statesman
aad the warrior, there is absolutely moth
ing in him. His political notions seem
to be of a very unsettled character
The same author also relates new
story about the Cure of Santa Cruz, the
wellknown fighting priest of the Car
lists:
Another fact characteristic of the
nature of this man is dealing with the
only prisoner he had taken at Enderiaza.
The whole number Of carablneros which
took part in that affair amounted to
forty.one men. Five of them got off in
safety; two we're drowned in attempting
to escape by swimming across the Bidas-
soa; nine were killed during the action,
twenty-three were mastered because
they had fred after they had hoisted the
white flag, and one was somehow or
other taken prisoner. Santa Cruz car
ried that man for several days with him
but when he learned that, notwithstand-
ing the letters he had sent to the Bay
onne papers giving the particulars ofthe
affair, public opinion in Spain and
France still persisted in accusing him
of having shot prisoners, he sent word
to his captive saying he thought it his
duty to justify the accusations Of the
liberals, and therefore to shoot him. Ten
minutes were allowed the poor man for
confession, and four balls put an end to
his life"
The cures letter to the newspapers
appears to have been regarded by the
Spanish and French people very much
as the American people regard that old
personal explanation " which General
Butler has spoken SO many times on the
floor of Congress, and which we shall
hear again from him in the coming de-
bate on the Ssnborn business. There is
a point in the growth of character where,
if man reaches it, his account Of him
self is Of very little consequence, even
# it be printed in the newspapers.

their collegiate education altogether,
as a regard for their interests, it makes
the faculty desist to save them from the
Just consequences Of their folly by
limiting their suspension to the com
mencement of the next academic year.
Before readmission to their classes they
will be required to have examinations in
the studies to be pursued by their re-
spective classes during the remainder OF
the session, except botany, and to give
written assurance that they will abstain
from hazing, and from all attempts to
interfere with the government of the
University. The public men OF the
State demand that the University facul-
ties, which are but the servants OF the
State, shall eradicate from the Uni-
versity the practice of hazing ana
every other form of disorder which may
bring upon it harm and disgrace
whether it costs the suspension or the
absolute exclusion of hundreds OF those
who have been admitted to its privileges.
The University can better afford to be
without students than without govern
ment, order and reputation. This ac-
ton Of the faculty is none the less i'm
perative, because the traditions with
which they have to deal have so low
cred the tone of sentiment in tSis as
we'll as in other institutions that prac-
ices which at home and away from
college would be taught by students
shameful and criminal are regarded as
innocent amusement in the University.

makes statement in regard to the mis-
fortunes of that region which may be
worthy OF notice, although we have
Aldermen here who know more about the
subject than any body in Louisiana, or
any where else. The extract is as fol-
lows: "We have (65e) six hundred and
fifty square miles; four hundred ofthem

living in the water, or rather on top
of it. Now I'll tell You what has gone

the whole Of Bayou De Glaizes, from
Moreauville to SHINES Park; three

and all of the north side of Baton Rouge

falaya is all under. The loss and misery
are unparalleled. What is to become of
ms, as country, the future must decide
At present the view is gloomy enough.
The newspapers cannot give you de-

YOU q faint idea of the desolatien that is
stalking through our loved land, unless
their reporters could visit the distressing
scene and feel the chilling touch Of want,

The houses are divided in flats or suites

each house has .janitor charged with
keeping the hall and entryways lighted
and in good order. The rents for these
suites of rooms range from $500 to $1,000
for the FIRST floor, to $500 for the third
