SHOOTING AT RENO.

A shooting ARRAY occurred Mt the
Reno race track yesterday afternoon,
which the Democrat stopped the press
to note, as follows:
The fight commenced between Tom
Raymond and Jas. Mooney, driver for
Derby, of Virginia. 1t was about a
bet. Six shots each were fired. One
taking effect in Moneys head-not
dangerous. Raymond was unframed,
save by blow from Moneys pistol.
After they had emptied their reyolvers,
they approached each other and
clinched. A stranger, named Fred
Twigg, received the only fatal shot.
He had just come from Virginia TO work
for Derby. He was behind Mooney
when the firing commenced and at
once made for stall, only to fall head
long into it--dead. The fight occurred
under the shed in front of the stalls.
Mooney was very badly hammered with
Raymond's revolver. receiving deep
cnt. probably with the hammer of the
pistol Raymond is in Jail aud Mooney
in the hands of DR.. Hogan. We for
bear any comments. The inquest viii
be held tomorrow, when we will fur
nish full particulars. A thousand con.
flicting rumors are in circulation as to
the cause of The afiray.

Now, who speaks first for taking stock in
those cisterns We need them-of course
We do-need them worse than anything else
need them every day, every hour and every
minute It is true there is no prospective
money interest in them-no promise Of dol
lar and cent diyidends-no reasonable grounds
that the money invested will ever be returned
no assurance that anybody will grow rich
or make money out Of them, save, perhaps,
the laborers who dig the holes, the men who
furnish the lime, brick and sand used in their
construction, and the mechanics who build
them. But there is safety in them, and as
dollar saved is the same rs two dollars earned,
the saving Of our property by means of the
extinguisher furnished by them, in case of
fire, VIII prove the money expended TO be an
enrichng investment indeed. Now then,
don't all speak at once-but who speaks for
stock in the e;sterns Every day we put off
che building Of them, re are guilty Of q crime
against our neighbors and ourselves.

Beg Congress adjourned on Thursday last,
at noon, and if ever a country experienced a
good riddance of bad rubbish, We think it
was the United States, when Congress ad-
journed. Taking it, all in all, it was, we
think, the most truculently partizan body
that ever assembled iu this country; and yet,
80 far as its aims were discoverabe it seemed
ss though determination to kill of the Re
publican party was its main object. Nearly
every measure which had been condemned
by the people in the recent. election met its
approval, while for everything which promis-
ed 10 raise the party from the low position it
was compelled to occupy in the recent elec-
fion, it had nothing but opposition.
Of things the people desired peace for
tLic whole Of our country; and yet more time
was wasted ia an effort to continue the causes
of strife throughout the South, than was
employed in doing good, or an attempt to do
good IN ether quarters When the present
Congress came into power, the Louisiana
troubles were in comparative infancy Oi
their existence Congress was made aware by
rhe earnest appeals Of the President that
eoule thing should be done to quiet them
and that his course was taken, subject to
change only through their action. Did they
heed this? The spectacle Of January f. ol
United States soldiers organizing legisla-
ture, and seating legislators, VIGOROUSLY in
opposition TO the expressed will of the peo-
pie, IS an all sufficient answer Had Con
gress two years ago set about the making
the crooks of Louisiana's troubles straight,
the force Of example would have saved u:
the Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi trou-
Lies, and our whole country, would doubtless,
to-day be in peace, and the people in the
peaceful pursuit Of prosperous business life
But no everything aud everybody, who
should have known better seemed to be seizeo
witt, partizan blindness, which would set
nothing but the blood of the past, and thus
working themselves into partizan frenzy
could work ooly for the partys ruin.
We have neither the time, nor the incna
tion to pursue this theme to It's legitimat,
end, through all its disreputable ramifea
tions. It is sickening subject, and we drol
il with a hope that now that the days 0
Congress have departed, We may look for
prompt marshalling of the masses of tn
party, for the lifting up of the mighty fallen
and for another grand battle for victory fo
the grand principles Of the party OF the Union
Of one thing we are assured The peopl
breathe freezer over the thought that tn
Forty third Congress has ceased to exist.

The Legislature has passed an act pro-
viding that all municipal, borough and
township officers, chosen at the February
election, shall assume their duties on the
first Monday of April succeeding. At ten
o'clock on the forenoon of that day mem
bers of city and borough councils are to
meet for organization, and mayors of t'tles
are to be inaugurated at II o'clock on the
same day. All local officers whose terms
would otherwise expire before the first of
April succeeding the election, are continued
in Office until that date School directors
whose terms now expire in June, are ex-
cepted from the operation of the law. As
this bill establishes uniformity in the tenure
of local officers, which have heretofore been
somwhat uncertain in their duration, it will
probably be generally acceptable.

The Hancock Herald says that a log

diameter, and containing 1925 feet, was

Creek last Friday 1t is said to be the
largest log ever taken down that stream.
Some difficulty was encountered in getting
it down from the mountain. A yoke of
oxen weighing 5000 lbs were hitched to
it, and in coming down the steep descent,
Mr. Thomas had attached to It a long raft

and stumps to prevent its rEnning against
the team, hut she rope broke and let the
log loose, taking oxen and all down the hill
at rapid rate, some two hundred feet,
bringing up against pile of car stems.

no harm was done. In getting it out Of
the woods three yoke of oxen were used.

at the age Of 80 years, months and % days.
The deceased was young man of good NOR
al character, honest and upright in all his bu-

ed by all who knew him. He was employed
during the last year by the D. L. & w. RR
Co. as Agent and Operator at Spragueville,
and although suffering much, at times, from
the disease which was preying upon his consti-
tuition, he still adhered to his business, urtil he
could hold out no longer. He then left his of
fee and his business, on the 9th of February
and went to his home, never to return, as he,
himself said "but to die" and in one day less
than a week, after reaching that home, he
breathed his last, and his spirit took its eternal
flight to that bourne, from whence no traveller
ever returns.
The funeral services took place at the house
of deceased, on Thursday the 18th, and the
ceremony was improved by Rev. F. l.. MAR

Since the action of the House of Repre-

pute things have come into much more
cheerful shape, The plan proposed has
been practically accepted by both parties,
and the Conservative members of the
Louisiana Senate resumed their seats in
that body before the adjournment on the
4th inst Only few extremists now hold
out, and they will have to yield under the
pressure of public opinion. As Congress
has decided to recognize Kellogg as Cover
nor until 1876 the President will of course
sustain him and thus render hopeless any
further attempt to make revolutionary
change. For the good of the whole coun-
try, and the peace and prosperity of Louis
lana especially, this result should be well
coined and sustained by the senses of the
people.
