in the market cases in the Superior District

Of the civil sheriff aud Board of Metfopoi-

traitor Turnbull, attended by posse Of
police, again closed all the private markets
but made few arrests. a show was made
earlier in the day by the sheriff to prevent
the closing Of the private market of B.
Bernichau, but his deputies retired before
the arrival of the police. But Mr.. Dick
asserts his intention to enforce the order of
corrt this morning, and if he persists in his
determination climax must be reached.
In the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas

by the marshal was expected early yester.

The Duel in st. James.

News from the parish of St. James con-
firms the truth of the report of the double
homicide of DR.. Charles Gray and Mr.. D. j..
Richard. The affair grew ont of words
uttered by DR.. Gray in relation 10 the cour.
age of Mr.. Richard and Mr.. johnson, be.
tween whom challenge had passed. These
parties were arrested, and DR.. Gray freely
asserted both were towards, would not
fight. and had themselves caused the arrest
to prevent the duel Mr.. Richard, regard
ing the remarks as d'rected more particn-
larly to himself, challenged DR.. Gray, who,
at first, refused to meet him. Mr.. Richard,
in a poster, containing many opprobious
epithers, denounced DR.. Gray, and this
brought about the fatal NEE, ng.
TIE weapons were STith & Wesson
revolvers. and the seconds Mr. J. r. Gallup
fer DR.. Gray, and Fe''x Poche for Mr.
Richard. Shots were twice exchanged
without iDjr~y, but at the third firing DR..
Gray was shot through the heat and died
instantly. Mr.. Richard was wounded just
beneath the heart and lived only a shor
time.
There is much excitement in the parish
over the matter, but the feeling is chiefly
against the seconds. DR.. Gray had acquired
the esteem of the people as au able ply ST.
clan and surgeon, a1d the opinion. so Ear as
ascerts med, seems to be tha. he was force
into -ne fight.

WASHINGTON, August l9.-Tbe article
from the Freemen's Journal to the effect
that the Spanish government, in recrrn Tor
securing the recognition OF the republic by
European powers, has agreed to cede the
leland of Porto Rico to Germany, occs sions
comment in all quarters.
But there ia no source here at present
from which to obtain official information
concerning the subject, either confrmstory
or con- cadictory of the startling ennource-
ment.
1t is known, however, that report ex-
isted year or more ago that Germany was
seeking to obtain possession OF the Spanish
West india islands. ..
Though the report, which was confined
only to small official circle, was regarded
as involving serious consequences, 1t ives
soon apparently forgotten. :a5
All that can now be seid With certainty
is that the executive department OF our
government is not inattentive iu this mat
ter, and that both Caleb Gushing at Mad
rid and j. Bancroft Davis at Berlin have
this subject on their memoranda Of instruc-
ton, and " i'll not tail at the proper time to
repeat to those COVER nments the position Of
the admuistrat ION as heretofore privately
and officially expressed by President Grant
himself, and also the Secretary of State, in
maintenance of the Monroe doctrine.

Good for Evil.

Mr.. Frank He;derhotf, collector Of the
port at Shieldsboro, man who has been
much maligned on account of his Repub-
lican principles in other days, has lately
rendered important Sci vice to the lumber
interests and trade OF Pascagoula by his
efforts and success n re-establishing
deputy collectors Office at Pascagoula. The
Secretary Of the Treasury has decided to
discontinue that branch of the collectors
Office, and ordered the deputy, Mr.. A. Il.
Gillespie, to turn over his books and papers
to the collector. The enforcement of the
order would have been death blow to the
shipping trade of Paseagoula, and Collector
Heiderhoff promptly, and with able argu.
ments, applied for its revocation. Upon
his recommendation Secretary Bristow de-
cided to continue the office for the entry
and clearance of vessels at Pascagoula.

The Term "Jew.o

l. will be remem bered that some two
years since Mr.. A. S. SolOmons, the book
seller and stationer. of this CITY, undertook
the task of having the word jew" as rsed
in an offensive sense, eliminated from the
American dictionaries. He wrote to the
publishers OF Webster's and Worcester's
editions on the subject, and ene firm
promised to soften the definition, and the
ether TO omit it altogether. In the 1873
edition of Webster the words "Jew, v. t.,
to cheat or defraud; to swindle," were
stricken out altogether, but they reappear
in the edition for the present year, where.
upon Mr.. Solomons renewed his appeal to
the publishers, and received the following
answec:
DEAR S1R-Yours of the twenty-seventh
received. We are very glad you have no
ticed and called our attention to the matter
you have mentioned. When the present
edition of Webster's was electrotvped we
had two sets Of plates cast. We have
printed from one set until last spring,
making in that set from time to time such
corrections as seemed needful. A record Of
such correctness was kept by our editor.
Last spring we commenced printing from
the second set, instructing our editor and
electrotyper to have the corrections made
in the second set that had been made in the
first, and until we received your letter we
supposed they had all been made before
printing from them. We inter that the
failure in the instance you mention oc'
cured BY failure 20 put on record that
correction when il was made. We now
send yorr letter to our editor. with dlrec.
ton to have the correction made at once,
which we trust will be satisfactory. We
will see that the correction is duly made.
This is, of course, satisfactory to our
well known fellow-toN lsman and the peo
pie throughout the country Of the Jewish
faith, and his triumph is made greater by
the fact that since the correspondence in
1872 Messrs Brewer & T'estOn, the pub
fishers Of Worcester's Dictionary, have
omitted in all their editions the object!ona-
bic definition of the word "Jew" as a verb.
The Je,cish Messenger is delighted with the
liberality and courtesy of both publishing
houses, and thinks that .'the Messrs. Mer.
ram, publishers of Webster's Dictionary,
deserve some encouragement in these times
for daring to do a simple act of justice,
more especially az they have positively
turned deaf ear to the immense Catholic
influence brought to bear upon them in the
endeavor to induce them to altar their
definition of the word Jeeuitical ~ Wash.

Unless we have rain shortly there will be
