ST. LOUIS, February ia special
from Topeka, Kansas, says that near
Helena, Colorado, on the eighth instant,
thirty vigilantes went to the house OF
one Gibbs, and on his refusing to deliver
himself to them, to be hung, set fire to
the house in which were Mr.. Gibbs,
two women and several children. Gibbs
leapsd out through the flames with 3
revolver, and shot three OF the party
dead and wounded a fourth, when the
rest took to their heels and fled. Gibbs
had recently been acquitted on a charge
of murder, and the vigilsntes proposed
to take summary appeal from the de-
cision when set him at liberty.

We have an admiration for Gibbs.
We are not sure that it is not a case de-
mandiDg the interference of the "Higb-

United States. The writ of hd6eds cor

should immedi 4teIy go to Colorado and
ascertain how he will be received in
society there; the army should be con-
centrated upon Helena; several mOni-
tors should be transported to Colorado
to keep the peace, aud various other
things should be done. The unvarnish-
ell facts appear to be that Mr.. Gibts, o.
Helena, Colorado, had been accused OF
murder. He had been tried and ac-
quilted. There were several people in
the neighborhOOd who didn't sgree with

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
second Louisiana committee, composed
of Messrs. George +. H0ar, Frye and
Wheeler, Republicans, and Marshall, OF
Illinois, Democrat, returned yesterday,
and viii meet tomorrow to consider
what report they shall make to
the house. So far as can be
learned, the first two are disposed
to favor the recognition of Kel-
lOgg and indOrse the action of the ille-
gaiiy constituted returning board by
which the five Conservative members of
the legislature were thrown out. Even
if Mr.. Wheeler joins in this report,
which is just the opposite, it will be no
ticed, Of the report of the sub committee
VINO went down in December, it is
d0ub ful if q majority of the committee
can be secured to report to the house in
favor of the kellogg usurpatiOn. With
MessF5. Potter, Phelps and Foster and
Mr.. Marshall against it, q majority Of
the committee is assured.

the New O1eans committee are here
and will have a meeting tomorrow.
Mr. HOar proposes make report to
the house as soon as possible and within
three dSys at the iurthest. Judging
from the conversation of members
Of the committee it seems prob
able that the report which the whole
committee will make will not differ ma
terially from the subcommittee re-
port, except in the matter of the
White League, which the members
Just returned appear to think
more miSchIeYOus organization

New York HERALD

New York HeIsld.l
The revolutionary scheme cOncOCted
by the Republican house caucus is not
unlikely to stir up u breeze. The mod
crate Republicans, who have been deep
Iy alarmed at the tone of the Presidents
Arkansas message, and at the avowed
plans of the Brooks faction to drive out
Garland when congress adjOurns, and
their confidence that the President will
help them, are not inclined to trust
greater powers in the executives hands.
1t has become generally known that the
President did call to him the Republican
members of the Arkansas committee,
and. that he tried to impose upon
tbem his views, which he eX-
pressed in very vehement language,
declaring that unless Brooks WAS
made governor OF Arkansas the whole
OF the southern States would be lost to
the Republican party in the next eieC-
ton. This attempt to influence the ver-
dict OF q committee Of congress sent to
investigate facts and report upon them,
and TO il fiuence them to make a paril-
san report for partisan purposes, has
aroused Indignation aud alarm. Many
Republicans feel that it is not safe TO
leave the Arkansas matter open, They
fear that unless congress positively re-
cOgniZes the present government the
President will, under the lead Of bad
men whOsurrOund him, not hesitate to
act, even without warrant OF law.

Special to New Orleans Times
There is no doubt but there will be an
entire change in the Federal officials in
Louisiana, except Casey, and that soon.
IL is not certain who will succeed Pack
ard or Ringgold; for the rest the slate is
made up here. Packard will make q
desperate effort to retain his place.
Washington Special 10 Boston POST
The periodical rumOrs Of changes in
the cabinet are again current. This
time, according to the slate as made up
by those claiming to be best informed IN
this direction, AttOTney-GeneIai VIII
liams is to give way to Senator CaTPen-
ter, and General BrlstOw will vacRte the
treasury department, and that vacancy
is to be filed by Senator West, Of Lou
isiana. What is 10 become Of Williams
and BristOW, and where they are to go,
are questions which the gOssips do not
pretend to be so well prepared TO give
enlightenment upon, but they claim 10
have positive, though very mysterious,
means OF knowing that changes are
soon to be made in the cabinet, and
that those above mentioned are the
most probable. NObOdy'S name could
astonish people more in connection with
the secretaryship of the treasury than
that of West, yet the reasons assigned
for placing him there would seem pat
ent. 1t is said that Mrs. Grant would
like to have her brother in the United
States senate from louisiana, and Mrs.
Casey, as the wife of q senator, would
be a fsvOrite companion at the White
House,

THE TELEGR RAPH.
Bill InIrOductd d In ihe House TO ReEu-
late Telegraph Lines.
New York Herald. !

New York Herald.l
We have read with some interest an
important bill introduced into congress
by General Butler, entitled, San act to
establish certain telegraphic lines in the
several States and Territories as post
roads, and to regulate the transmission
OF commercial and other Intelligence by
telegraph" This bill proposes that ali
telegraph lines be made pCstrOads, and
that the government shall advertise for
proposals to send messages over the tele-
graph lipes on the same principle as the
mail is transmitted over the pOstrOads.
The telegraph companies are directed 10
receive all messages sent to them from
any other company at the regular rates.
1t forbids all companies from taking
part in the collection or purchase OF
commercial news. 1t provides that the
tariff on messages by cable from offices
in foreign countries shall not exceed, in
addition to the cable rate, the ordinary
rate. 1t directs that press dispatches
shall be sent to all journals and associS-
tions without discrimination, and that
there shall be no favOTitism shown to
any newspaper. 1t provides that all tele-
graphic messages shall be privileged
communications under the law; that
tariffs shall be uni orm; that govern
ment messages shall have priority; and
any person violating this act can be
fined one thousand dollars and mprisOn-
ed for two years. This bill is one OF the
most important measures th2t has been
introduced into congress. Many features
of il we approve. At the same time,
there are other features OF it which do
not commend themselves to us. We
fear that to have the government inter-
faTe ID a private business is q bad prece-
dent. Nor do We see very Well how any
government can take possession of the
telegraph wires as p0stroads without
making some compensation TO those
who own these roads, who have estSb-
lished and supported them from the
first, taking the risks of their success. a
} bill might be introduced, on the same
] principle, directing the Herald to publish
/ ali the advertisements sent to the other
( papers at the rates which the other papers
/ charge, and forbidding us from choosing
! ouI own rates. These. however, are OBJ
! jectiOns that occur 20 us on a hasty read
/ ing Of General Buffers measure. Our
! view has always been that the best way
/ to solve this problem, which is always a
serious one, is for the government to
adopt the postal system. If We are to
take possession of the telegraph wires,
let Us do it on the principle upon which
it has been managed in England. But
how we can take possession Of the lines
without compensation to the companies
is a matter which may be clear to Gen.
eral Butler, but which is not so to US
At the same time there Is enough good
in tine bill TO Justify its immediate con-
siderstion. This business requires re-
form, and under the pressure OF public
opinion reform must come.

One of the straBgest and most horrible
Of sensational incidents took place the

dreu who were playing in the environs
discovered floating il the air and partly
entangled amid tie branches Of tree
white parcel upbOrne by means Of some
twenty or thirty little red tOy-DallOOns,
which were attached to it. The atten-
ton OF the police being called to this
singular object, it was brought down and
the package opened, which proved to
contain the corpse Of new born infant.
investigations into the matter brought
to light the following facts: The child
was that Of a poor tOy-maker and his
wife; just after the confinement Of the
latter the husband had died suddenly,
aud ali the household goods and
chattles had been seized for rent. The
unhappy woman was driven mad by
this accumulation of misfnItunes; she
killed her infant and then went out and
threw herself into the river, leaving be-
hind her d written paper in which she
declared her intention OF committing
suicide, and said that she chad gotten

A QUORUM WANTED.

From our Special Correspondent
NASHVILLE, TENN, February IT,
F or two days past there have been so few
members Of the senate present that the
speaker has had occasion to announce
several times the lack OF quorum,
whereupon the sergeant-at-arms has
been sent out on, accommodating expedi-
ton to the library, representative hall,
committee rooms, etc, for absentees, in
order that business might be resumed.
-Four members of the senate, Uiz Buch-
anan. Finlsy, TrOtter and Hodges are
absent on duty, investigating the man
agement OF branch prisons and charita.
bic institutions, and will probably be
gone q week or ten days.
TAXING DOGS.
The bill providing for tax on dogs came
up on its third reading in the senate to.
day, and its passage was ably advocated
bv Senators Wilson, Haynes, Logan
and others. The former said that in his
section sheep raising had been almost
entirely abandoned in consequence of
injuries inflicted upon wOol-growers by
worthless dogs. Be cited the case OF
one Of his neighbors who had had five
hundred dollars worth Of sheep, and said
lLaL he AOol
sheep in this way. Logan read an eX-
tract from KillebreW's Resources Of
Tennessee, showing that there are two
hundred and fifty thousand dogs in this
Slate; that hog weighing two hundred
pounds can be raised annually at the eX-
Rense necessary to keep q dog for the
same length OF time; that thess dogs
destroy annuity thirty Thousand dollars
worth of sheep, and that the aggregate
amount of damage done the State an
nuaIIy by reason Of such an army o.
worthless dogs is not less than eight
million FIVE hundred and fOrty-hve
thousand Iour hundred and thirty.foul
thousand dollars.
Senator Butler moved TO amend The
bill by excluding rat-terriers and poodle
dogs from its provisions. Senator Jones
moved to amend by exempting shepherd
dogs from taxation, and the bill, together
with the proposed amendments, we'
then re- committed 10 the judiciary com
mittea. The interest in
