What Came of a FOx.ChaSe.

Down III Williamson county, Tenn, trag
ical feud has just grown out of a fox-chase
! In January party of hunters captured two
foxes alive, and the question of the right OF
possession got into the magistrates court and
subsequently into the United States Court, on
account of alleged intimidation of negro wit.
nesses. The feeling between the prosecution
and defense grew very bitter, and as each side
had many friends, nearly all the people living
IN the immediate section became interested in
the affair, one way Or the other.
The principals, however, went about armed
to the teeth, with their weapons ready PINNED
and swinging within easy reach. The poor
foxes, however, innocent of the mischief thew
were making, were all this time languishipe
in the custody Of the High Sheriff Wednes-
day night last Robert Wilson, who was the
leader upon the side of the plaintiffs, while
riding along the road, was fired upon from a
covered vehicle and instantly killed. A COM
panion at the time was dangerously wounded
This bloody deed will probably quash the
suit, while at the same moment it brings
about murder trial
The fatal issue of the quarrel is appalling;
the origin, trivial. We'll hath the Apostle
said: 'Behold, what great matter a little fire
kindleth!' To say that Reynard was to blame
would be unjust. To infer that fox-chasing is
wrong, and that the sportsman should shoot
his hounds and throw the gun into the river,
would be lame and impotent conclusion
We are sure that the entire party went out
upon the hunt merely for the sport of the
thing, and are positive that when they all
buckled saddle-girths at the meeting frolic
was the intention uppermost in the minds of
all.
How slight step it is from fun to funeral
Therefore we are constrained to observe that
If foxes do burrow in ones neighborhood, if
chasing them must be INDUCED in, then let
each and every hunter, before he starts upon
the trail, paste copy of the golden rule in
his hat and vow to abide by it. Then, should
| question arise as to the exact individual who
$ entitled to the brush, a spirit of concession
would render things altogether lovely.

THE RADICAL SIR ORACLE.

: Since its recent change Of proprietor, tn
Chicago Tribune has set itself up as the 81
Oracle of the press-as kind Of Radica
points must not be disputed. We are no
going to argue the point of doctrinal infalli
bility with the Tribune oracle ; but when b
quotes an article written before there was an
probability Of compromise as an illustration
of the manner in which we endeavored to de
feat that compromise, and quotes that articl,
as call by US upon the North to prevent it
we are compelled to express strong doubts a.
to its habitual veracity in the statement O
facts.
The Chicago Tribun. has repeatedly con
coded that the kellogg government was
never duly elected, and is the result of fraud,
and yet in the same article in which that con.
fession is reiterated it takes us to task as
"wild extremists, because, forsooth, we en-
phatically protested against the recognition
Of that admitted fraud by the men who were
elected for the sole purpose Of repudiating it,
and, if possible, OF depriving it by legal
means of its usurped power
The Tribune man goes even farther, and
actually charges us with the very crime for
which his own party is now held responsible
by vast majority Of the American people.
With brazen effrontry, be says that our Z" OBJ
ject is not peace that "do not want
settlement, but propose to prolong the
anarchy in Louisiana until 1876, in order to
fire the Northern heart, and to serve as polit-
ical capital in the Presidential election"
That a journal claiming such high rank as
the Chicago Tribune should initiate the stale
trick of the pickpocket and cry "stop thief =
while running away from his pursuers, is only
a little less astonishing than the contempt for
the intelligence of its readers which is i'm
piled in its course.
If there is any particular point upon which
all sensible persons are agreed, it is the fact
that the only object of Grant, and the sex
" who support him in Congress, is |
to precet a settlement of the Louisiana
troubles, to reopen the Brooks and Baxter con
roversy in Arkansas, and by every appliance
within their reach to goad the Southern people |
INTO the commission of some acts which might |
De construed into renewal of the rebellion
md furnish the eagerly desired opportunity
or placing them under the rule of military
atraps Of the Sheridan and Merrill order.
The editor of the Chicago Tribune knows
hat Grant 'does not want settlement"
md that he and his party, and they
lone, "proposesto prolong the anarchy in
until 1876, in order to fire the
Northern heart and to serve as political
apital in the Presidential election" If he
lenies this then he writes himself down as
he most unmitigated ass that ever undertook

THE POSITION OF THE BEE.

We cheerfully comply with the request Of
our friends of the Bee, to lay before our read
ers their answer to the structures upon the
course of that journal published in our issue
of Wednesday over the nom de plume Of
"Plebs"
"Plebs, says the Bee, "argues the point
exactly as though we had sustained the
Wheeler proposition, whereas we opposed it
as strongly as any. one. He seems to believe
that we are ready to sacrifice the rights of
representation. and particularly those Of the
members from Caddo parish. We never up
held anything Of the kind.
'We expressed our opposition to the Wheeler
plan and to any other settlement Of the same
kind, and reserved our opinion as to other
arrangements which might be consistent with
the honor and the rights of our representa-
tives.
AS regards those who favor the policy of
doing nothing and simply protesting, we are
anxious to hear their demonstration of the
results of that policy, demonstration which
none Of them has yet given us"
The Bee winds up its editorial by declaring
that it knows absolutely nothing Of the new
plan submitted to Mr.. Wheeler, and therefore
abstains from expressing an opinion about it. |
Our correspondent did not question the
motives of the editor of the Bee whose fidel- |
ity to the cause of Louisiana can no more be |
doubted than the marked ability with which
that cause is advocated by our respected
neighbor; and in publishing that communca-
ion we certainly had no wish to reflect upon
he conductors OF a paper which has done
md is still doing such good service to the
people of Louisiana

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

The frequent attempts on the part of some
swindler to impose upon the public by selling
what purports TO be Extra BULLETINS are
growing somewhat annoying. and we call the
attention of the public to the matter, in order
that the culprit may be- brought to a realiz-
ing sense Of the criminal character of his
proceeding. The residents in the upper part
of the Fourth and in the Sixth Districts have
been robbed on several occasions lately by
this fellow, and it is quite time he were
lodged in the Work-house or the Parish
Prison. II it be attempted again, we shall
have the party arrested and subjected to the
severest penalty Of the law.

RUMORS OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN
THE CABINET.
THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
Correspondence st. Louis Republican

Correspondence st. Louis Republican
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The grand topic Q
conversation about town to-day has been tn
sensational report that Grant was going to tr
a new deal of the Cabinet officers. Somebod
, started the story yesterday, but it had hardl,
got Tar enough along to even justify reference
to it in last nights dispatches. To-day, how
ever, it has been the theme of conversation
with everybody, and, though the most careful
inquiry fails to develop any basis Of fact a
the bottom, as part of the gossip of the CAPT
tai it merits repetition.
The statements all agree that the changes
said to be contemplated in the Cabinet are tc
be made on or about March 4. The following
il complete slate of all the rumored changes
Attorney General, Senator Carpenter; Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Senator West; Post
master General Senator Chandler 1t is also
stated that Mr.. Fish is to 90 out, but the SEN
sation mongers don't seen to have found anv-
| body for his place. Part of the story was
| that there has been quarrel between Grant
and Jewell, and this is unqualifedly denied
by the latter gentleman.
The vacancy created by the appointment of
West in the Louisiana senatorial seat is to be
filled by Casey, while to make the happy
family complete Pinchback will be admitted
and Kellogg recognized. The accommodating
manufacturers of this extraordinary story
seem to have been satisfied with emptying
four Cabinet seats and have not disturbed the

MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
Quite number of leading members of the
House are altogether dissatisfied with the
method OF contracting the jetties at the
mouth of the Mississippi River proposed by
the Senate Committee, and new bill similar
to the original proposition submitted by
Capt Eads, but materially modified with re-
spect to the method of compensation, was in
troduced in the House to-day by Mr.. Stanard
and referred to the Committee on Commerce.
1t proposes an addition to the river and
harbor bill providing for the improvement of
the Southwest Pass by Eads's jet:ies for the
sum Of SS,O00000 channel depth of thirty
feet to be given and the same maintained for
an annual sum of $4,000. The payments
are to be made in installments of 81 200, 900 |
when twenty-five feet depth is obtained and |
81, 600, 900 for each two feet thereafter until |
thirty feet of depth is procured, when S2,OOO,-
900 is to be paid. Each of these payments
in to be one-half cash, balance at the end of
twelve months.
This makes $1,000 600 and the remaining
81 G0O,O 900 is to be retained by the govern.
ment as pledge for the maintenance of
channel of thirty feet for twenty years at
cost not exceeding $50, 900 per annum The
main objection urged to the Senate plan is the
Danger that the appropriation may be refused
lor the continuance of the work after it is be-
gun, and all previously expended wasted.
The new bill has many warm friends, and an
Effort will be made to get an early considera-
ion OF it in the Commerce Committee.

Perfect shrieks of laughter went up from

the Old man to come back and he'd ssthrow

Act No. IL Of 1872 of the General Assembl,
of this State defines and fixes the amount O
per diem and mileage to which, during eacl
session, members are entitled; names the
officers and the number of employees to be
appointed, and specifies the duration of Their
service, and the compensations they are to
receive. The law is SO comprehensive and
minute in its provisions as to render calcu-
liable the total expense Of a session within a
sum of one thousand dollars. Although its
allowances for mileage are most exorbtan t.,
the whole expense under it should never
exceed one hundred and fifteen thousand dol
lars.
Yet with that contempt for every enactment
that proposes to restrain the plundering in
stincts which characterize our Radical rulers
they have made appropriations and incurred
liabilities for legislative purposes since the
commencement Of their career, never less
than three times, and often from six to eight
times, greater per session than that declared
sufficient by the act referred to-
Since this act became a law, the legislative
expenses in 1872 We're three hundred and
nifty thousand dollars IN 1878 they amounted
to four hundred and sixty thousand dollars !;
IN 1874 they foot up over three hundred thou
sand dollars Zone appropriation made this
year to pay legislative warrants of very doubt
full validity for 1870, 1871 and 1872, of the
necessary amount" believed to be about
one hundred thousand dollars; and the first
appropriation made the other day by Hahn's
bogus Legislature-to be followed by two or
three more, as has been the CUSTOMS for
one hundred and eighty-fve thousand dollars.
Every cent spent for legislative expenses
beyond the limits fixed by act No. II of 1872
is Illegal and should not be regarded as con-
shutting valid claim against the State. But
nevertheless we look to see the legislative ex-
penses of the present session run up at its
close to the customary 100000 or $500, 900.
