A PERSONAL encounter took place

A PERSONAL encounter took place
in the streets of New Orleans, last
Saturday, between Ex-Governor War
mouth and Dan c. Byerly, manager
of the Bulletin of that city, in which
the latter received wounds that re-
suited in his death in a few hours
The affair was the result of a news
paper controversy between Yarmouth
and the Bulletin, which led to the
publication of card by Yarmouth,
addressed to the manager Of the
Ru1letin, severely rejecting upon the
record of Mr.. Jewell, one of the edit
ors of that paper. Jewell challenged
Yarmouth, which the latter accepted,
and the preliminaries of duel be-
tween the parties, to come off on
Monday, in Alabama, was arranged.
Pending this arrangement, Byerly
met armOuth IN the street, and,
without word, struck him on the
head three times with a heavy cane,
inhicting severe wounds. Yarmouth,
unarmed, drew his pocket knife, and
closing with Byerly, cut six gashes
in his abdomen, from which wounds
he died the same evening. War
mouth was arrested and imprisoned,
but it is supposed will get clear on
the plea of self-dcfense. Meanwhile,
Jewell is waiting impatiently for
Yarmouth to get well to have the
privilege of shooting, or being shot
by the Ex-Governor. That is the
way they argue questions Of great po-
ltical and social import in Louisiana.

THE Springfield (NLass.,) Republic
can is one of that class of journals
that are wont to illustrate their sin
dependence" by the most unfair and
uncandid warfare upon the Republi-
can party and all its acts of admins
tration, a warfare descending to mis-
representation and aspcrsion of mo-
tiycs, to the picking out of small bits
of malevolcnt gossip, which, with
ont inquiry as to its truth, is
exalted into great scandals; to disin-
genious argument and Jesuitical
reasoning; and which is seemingly
characterized by a purpose to make
everything tell in the effort to hold
up the Republican party as the most
corrupt and dangerous political or
ganization in the country.
But Mr. Samuel Bowles, the editor
Of the Repu6Hcan,in letter recently
written to his paper from Washing
ton, is constrained to say, that if "the
discovering and enforcement of a
Republican policy were entrusted to
Vice-President Wilson, Secretaries
Fish and Bristow, Post Master Gen
eral Jewell, Sherman, Schurz, the
Morrills, Blaine, Dawes, Garfield,
Hoar, Hawlcy, Wilson and the like,
we should see the old ship righted in
less than thirty days Supplement
to this unexpected admission that
there is yet enough virtue left in the
Republican party to give the country
honest and beneticient administration,
we have the following equally sur
prising admission from Mr.. Bowlcs,
that its opponents, the Democratic
party, are not equal to the task of
ruling it wisely and honestly:
TOr tnc DenOclatS are 50 missing
their opportunity and Sinking their
responsibility to open wide the door
for Republican reorganization and
restoration. They are building neg
alive instead Of atfirmatively,-on the
incapacities and mistakes Of their OPP
ponents, rather than upon their own
virtue and strength. They offer no
policies or suggestions of reform.
They talk and act as if they preferred
the currency question should be ig-
nored rather than settled. They
present no scheme Of administrative
improvement. They show no ability
or desire to liberalize their organiza-
ton, or either personallyor politically
to tempt the votes that will make
them a majority, relying rather on
the same popular disgust with the
present administration that has got
them the next Congress-, to give them
the next Presidency, without the linn
itatlon of their enjoyment of its pow
er and patronage, and without an in
creased number of sharcrs thereof.
Verify some influence is at work
to open the eyes and broaden the
IDEAS of the ''independent" press.

THE Des Moincs Register records
it to the credit of that city, that but
two arrests were made on Christmas
day, and those for drunkenness. Nev-
ertheless, people will remember that
there are one hundred unrequited
murderers yet at large in Des Moincs
and vicinity. That few arrests are
made is not the most seemly thing to
boast of.

TIE cable brings from across tn

The cable brings from across the
water the intelligence of an appalling
disaster at sea, caused by the burning
of the emigrant ship Cospatrick,
bound from London to New Zealand,
with 500 souls aboard, all of whom
were lost, except the second mate
and two seamen. These were picked
up by British ship after ten days
exposure in an open boat, during part
of which time they subsisted upon
the flesh and blood of their compan.
ions who died in the boat.

The Pacific Mail investigation is
being pursued with energy in New
York, during the recess of Congress,
by the Subcommittee Of the WAYS
and Means Committee, and has re-
suited 50 far in tracing $4,000 of
Twins corruption fund to VIM. S.
King, of Minneapolis, ex-postmaster
of the House and member of Con-
grcss elect from Minnesota. What
King did with the money is not yet
developed. 1t is not likely that his
own personal services as a lobbyist
were so munihcently rewarded, and
there is room for suspicion that he
was merely the agent through whom
purchasable members of the House
received their rewards for voting for
the subsidy. We hope the committee
will probe the matter to the very bot
tom, so that the guilty parties, who
ever they are, may be held up to
the scorn and contempt of honest
men.

About week ago a man came to the
Miller House, at the corner Of Sycamore
and Ninth streets, and registered him
self as A. III. Norton. from Dayton, OnlO.
He claimed to be machinist by trade.
He has remained at the house ever SINCE
until last night, when he left, taking
with him about $500 in money, all that he
could iud in the safe.
1t seems that the man has been con.
cocting the plan ever since his arrival,
and has been iamiliarizing himself with
the interpahafranyemeni OF the house
and the habits OF the proprieJors and
clerks in order to make il a success. Al
any rate, instead Of retiring to his own
r9om last night rs usual, he concealed
himself in d closet in the room OF the
night clerk, who retires about ] O'Clock
every night, after locking the office sale
and putting the key in his pocket.
After the clerk had gone 10 bed and to
sleep last night, Norton came from his
hiding place, lock the key, Went 10 the
office alM opened the sale taking .out $40,
ali the money IL contained, and noie
for $40, payable at the First Nationa
Bank, and escaped.

the robbery was discovered, aud enriy
