given clue to any evidence to support
his villainous accusation. Noperson not
utterly abandoned to deeency would
accuse another upon such grounds. He
has carefully studied to do it in cow
ardly manner to escape legal RESPONSE
bility. All that our correspondent can
do under such circumstances is to chal-
lenge the proof, and in the absence of it
to brand Halstead as a libeler and a liar,
as he has done. The burden of proof
rests with Haistead, and the brand of
liar till he produces it.
The Commercial of the same day, thus
paid its respects TO the Gazette and
Enquirer
The clatter made by the Gazette and
Enquirer, about an incorrect version of a
private business letter written by the
editor of the Commercial to an agent in
| New York, is a noise to distract public
/ attention from their own misconduct.
| The truth is that neither the Gazette nor
| the Enquirer is conducted on square busi-
neps principles. Both are run on false
pretenses. The managing proprietor of
the Gazette visited the Enquirer Office on
legitimate business, and was denounced
for making "dishonorable propositions,
an incident that made it impossible to
give the Enquirer publishers credit for
common honesty or fairness in the trans
action of ordinary business. The Gazette
employs swarm of agents to solicit for
it, and they fill the air with lies, both in
this city and New York-lies about their
business and our business. The Gazette
also enters upon the map and chrome
trade, in connection with its daily issue,
thus introducing into the daily newspa-
per business the generalization that the
prize system produced among the week
lies. The Enquirer prints pages of free
advertising, discrediting itself, and dam
aging, as far as it goes, legitimate inter
ests; and the Gazette carriers go out
loaded with free papers which are thrown
helter-skelter about town TO popularize
the Gazette So both the Gazette and En-
quirer, corrupted, we suppose, by the sus
tenance drawn from the Canal Ring
have departed from the legitimate line:
of enterprise, and are conducting theil
affairs like very dead beats, with base
/ charlatanry that barely escapes the line
, of criminal fraud.
| On the same day we received anothel
| Cincinnati daily, and Columbus daily

ment in the shape of letter from wo

Mr.. Bundy it says:
Among the Republicans, Hon H S.
Bundy will have an excellent chance for
reelection. His record has not been
identified with odious measures which
have SO enraged the people and threat
ened the existence Of his party Thus
far no democrats or Republicans have
particularly objected to anything done
in this session of Congress. His speech
on imitation, right or wrong, will meet
with the favor of the masses about here,
for the resumption of specie would press
the poor to the wall and favor the rich,
or perhaps it would be better to saw,
would favor the creditor and oppress the
debtor, as it would make debts contract
ed in currency to be paid in coin, OF
which fact, the Board of Trade will please
take notice in their next discussion.

AMENITIES OF THE PRESS

The following appeared in the Whining
ton Journal last week:
AMENITIES OF THE PRESS.
The Cincinnati Gazette pronounces Hal
tead "a liar and scoundrel, ;" and Hal
stead retorts by denouncing Richard
Smith white livered sneak and black
guard. 1t will not be long before both
of these journals are lecturing the coun-
try papers for their failure to observe
the decencies and proprieties of journal
ism.
On Friday the Gazette had long edi-
torial, commencing thus:
THE sNEAKING LIBELER
That Mr.. Halstead meant to perpetrate
an infamous libel on our Columbus cor
respondent, Mr. Furay, is plain to US and,
we presume to all who read his efforts.
That he did it for malicious purpose,
and that he knew it to be false, is equally
clear to US, and we presume it is to all
our readers That he carefully studied
the art Of doing this, in sneaking and
cowaRdly manner, so as to perpetrate the
injury without subjecting himself to legal
liability is equally clear. His pretense
on Thursday of stating the libel in terms
to make it ''actionable" is in itself
abundant PROOF OF tnlS assassin design,
for that which pretends to be positive
assertion is, in fact, a retraction of the
original charges, and is only, in substance,
charge that an agent of the Liquor
Dealers Association made Mr.. Furay a
present because they were gratified with
the course of the Gazette.
This is as big lie as the other, but it
is also retraction of the other lie, and a
self-conviction of the liar, who is Hal
stead, for he has not furnished the first
| item of evidence to support his charge.
And in the course of the same article
the Gazette says:
| At first there was pretense of giving
the names of two persons who could tell.
One of them showed this to be lie.
Then he was dropped, and the statement
as to the other was that some one said he
could tell. And if that person should
affirm that he paid Mr.. Furay money, it
would only be the oath of a person en-
gagged in corrupt business, whose oath
would not be entitled to credit, and who
would be most likely to cheat his en-
ployers with the story of money paid to
others which he had put in his own
pocket That is the common practice of
such agents. Halstead has, therefore,
not furnished an item of evidence, nor

of the Cincinnati Commercial, thus sums
up the work so far of the Democratic
Legislature:
WEEK NUMBER FIVE
Of the session has been much like its
predecessors in the main characteristic
that much has been proposed and little
done. Though each House has passed
some bills, the State has escaped for an
other week any additions to the list of
its laws. The summary of work done up
to this time is, bills introduced, about
two hundred and fifty; bill passed one !;
speeches made, say FIVE hundred; prom
ises to the people of the State before
election, disregarded-not ascertained.

RAILR0ADING UNDER DIFFICULTIES

From persons who have come over on Nor
gan's Texas Railroad, we learn that for some
twenty miles between RaInas and Chackai
houla stations, the track is about 10 inches
under water. The trains are still running,
but the utmost vigilance has to be exercised
to prevent accidents. Several men ride on
the cowcatcher, armed with long iron point
ed poles, and as the train, like huge am
phibious steam monster, plows along, they
push away floating logs old ties ETC., that
the current constantly washes over the rails.
The app arance of the train making its
way through this inland sea is said to be
very peculiar, and the sensations of the pas
sengers must be exceedingly novel. The
road is kept in such perfect repair, however,
that there is no danger, though, by reason
Of the precautions taken, the time of the
trip is over eight hours, instead of about
four hours AM a halt.
We are informed that, in order to be pre-
pared for an emergency, Mr.. Morgan's agents
are making arrangements for steamer to
run from Brashear to the Bayou Black, to
connect with the branch of the road which
runs to Houma from Terrebonne, so that,
even if the water should rise much higher
on the track, passengers would be brought
through without delay.

The f urOpe.

NEW YORK. April 3O.-First officer Buck,
formerly of the steamship Greece, arrived
yesterday. He told friend that with al
adequate crew of disciplined men, he could
have taken the Europe around the world.
The men sent from the Egypt to aid Buck,
all went down to the cabins, previously oc-
cupied by the officers, broke open casks of
liquor found there, and became intoxicated
and uncomfortable. These men were there
fore more of a hindrance to the officer in
charge than an aid. Two of these men were
in such a condition when the boats left the
Europe with the salvage crew, that they re-
NAMED in ignorance of the fact, until the
boats had arrived alongside, when they were
missed. The crew of one of the boats then
went back for them, and found them help
lessly drunk.
Mr.. Buck said, as he passed under the
stern of the steamer in the first boat which
left the Greece, in answer to the signal of
distress, he saw the officers rnnning about
the deck, covered up to their necks VITA
cork life preservers. He called ont to the
French captain, who was leaning against the
rail, and asked what was the matter. Capt.
Lemarie replied that the vessel was sinking
Buck shouted back that the Europe did not
look like a sinking ship.

Recent events have caused much anxiety
in London concerning the danger to which
that metropolis is exposed on account of the
insufficient means for extinguishing great
fires. A deputation from the society Of arts
the other day made strong representations
clared that there was constant and great
danger of an immense calamity in London.
They said that it is proved that by reason
of defective mechanical and structural ar
rangements, as well as an insufficient supply
of water, the metropolis is exposed to such
extensive confagrations as have occurred
in Boston and Chicago"
