SHERIDAN'S "BANDITTI. - There
has been great hue and cry among
the ex-Re bells of the South and their
Northern 'synpathizers over General
Sheridan's dispatch in which the word
"banditti' was used. They have as
sumed, without any warrant whatever,
that Gen. Sheridan applied the word to
all the people in Louisiana, Mississippi,
and Arkansas He did no such thing
His dispatch first recommends the arrest
and trial Of "ring- leaders of the armed
White Leagues" The very next para
graph says: "If Congress would pass a
bill declaring hem bandittl, they could
be tried by military commission, -"
that is "the ring-leaders Of the armed
White Leagues" Now, unless all the
people of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Mississippi are White Leaguers, and not
only White Leaguers but armed White
Leagusrs, and not only armed White
Leaguers but ring-leadcrs of armed
White Leaguers, they do not come un-
der the application of bandttH as Gen,
Sheridan used the word. This is but
another instance of the tendency ofthe
Southern people and the Democrats to
go off like an old blunderbuss at "hslf-
cock" in this Louisiana affair. They
have not stopped to study the matter as
it actually is. They do not want to do
this. They simply desire to howl, and
howl they will in spite of the facts in
the case.-Pitsbargh Telegraph.

STRIKE ABOUT ENDED.-IRoN PUD.
Oilers SOON GOING TO WoRK.-W e
observe an article in morning contem-
porary, indicating speedy settlement
of the troubles between the iron manu-
features and puddIcrs, which we heartily
approve. That the refusal Of the pud-
dlers to accept the terms proposed at
the commencement OF the difficulty, has
been productive of much suffering to
the innocent members Of the workmen s
families, is proved in the fact that some
of them have beea recipients Of the
poor fund Of the city. The great de-
preston in manufactures, consegue Mt
upon small demand aud low and fall
Ing prices, forbade that the manufac-
lures should continue to run their mills
at positive loss, and 1t was the part OF
wisdom for the puddlers to have sympa-
thized with the manu- facturers in their
views. Having, on the con ntrary, gone
upon a strike, while able to work at
more than living wages, at least, we sub
pult it is unfair to more deserving
charities that they should receive assis-
tauce from the poor fund. Not only
have the puddiers brought distress 81
their own families. but they have
thrown out of employ ment large num-
Der Of assistants and luborers depen dent

We are glad however, to learn that
the puddlers propose soon to resume cp~

clusion, as much for the reason that ii
will relieve much present suffering, a.

THREE TINES AND Is SHOT THE
TEIRD ME--CONFEDERATES THROW
TIE BODY INTO TIE sUsQJEHANNA.
Thursday night alter eleven O'Clock,
thieves visited Il canal toat moored in a
secluded place at Williamsport, in which
a poor washerwoman lived. Her hus.
band was absent, and one of the fellows
entered and, takiag her by the throat,
threaten,d d to kill her ii she did not
give up her money. She arose, aud
followed by the robber with a revolver,
close 10 her head, went to looking gls. 8
and took out $lGO, all the money she
had iu the world.
He then retired and conversed with
the robbers outside, when he returned
and demanded more money. The poor
woman, upon her bended knees, with a
Bible in her hand, told him she had no
more, when he began examining the
bed clothes. lie again retired outside,
aud something about murder was said
The unfoitun woman now gathered
her little ones about her, extinguisheG
the lights, aud seizpg shotgun, laid in
wait. Presently the robber entered for
the third time, with a dark lantern in
his hand and as soon as he appeared III
the doorway, Mrs. Freed fired a terrible
load at hin. The robber fell, kicked
once or twice when his companions
pushed open the door, against which
the body had fallen, wrapped him in
the btdclothes he had removed on IT, e
occasion OF his second visit and hur.
riedIy carried him eff. 1t was thought
he was killed and that the body was
thrown through hole in the ice on the
Susquehanna, us there was a bloody
trail to an opening in the ice
The parties came in sleigh, aud the
robber who entered wore long black
whiskers, aud had very pretty hands.
After they had gone, little terrier dog
entered the boat evidently in search o!
its master. 1t had on a collar and ocket
and there was name on the collar, but
Airs. Freed could not persuade the can
iue to remain, and it left, following the
trail across the river on the ice to the
opening mentioned.
The shotgun contained handful OF
shot and the conclusion knocked Mrs.
Freed down. Her oldest boy, a little
fellow, seized hatchet and wanted to
go to where the robber was lying and
dispatch him, bat Mrs. Freed prevailed
on him to keep back, as from the deep
mutterings of the companions Of the
robbers she knew he would be mur-
dered.
