DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.--About ten
days ago, while Henry Hocker's children
were playing in the yard at his residence
one Of the boys let locust wthe fly back
which struck little Robbie (aged fve) in
the eye. The eye sweled and inAamed
SO the boys parents could not examine
1t closely, but supposing it was simply
bruised, did not call a physician for sever
al days. But as the eye did not improve
Dr. Lord was called in and on examina-
tlon discovered foreign substance in the
eye, which he proceeded to dislodge and
to the surprise of all drew from the eye
ball locust thorn fully half-an-inch in
length. 1t is probable that the sight of
the eye has been utterly destroyed, but
IN order TO ascertain certainly, the little
fellow has been taken to San Francisco
where experienced oculists will be con-
suited. Mrs. II. Clifford ard Miss Annie
locker went with Robbie, who, not feel
ing the enormity of his afliction and
beng in little pain, was highly elated at
The prospective pleasures of his journey.

The Pork MARKET.-With the ad-
vent Of Chinese New Year, chickens and
fresh pork camo into demand as all who
have to deal in those articles are well
aware. To supply the cravings of the
douglas City heather, Frank Mabie, of
the Douglas City Market, killed fine
hog which when dressed was calculated
would weigh $50 pounds. The hog was
hung up in the shop in readiness TO be
served out to the Celestials on the NOR
row and Frank started to the sanctity of
his home. When the morrow came, the
hog was non est. Some Celestials whose
love OF hog meat for the time being over
came their reverence for the laws of me-
nm ct t"um, had appropriated it during
The silent watches of the night and left
no trace Of whittier they had gone. A
search for the missing poi ker was at once
instituted but without result. The de-
mand for pork was never greater than on
that day and the probabilities are that the
thieves were themselves most anxious in
their apparent desire to purchase.

THE Bar Association of the District
has been greatly exercised lately regard
ing the appointment of auditor of the
Supreme Court of the District. The
clause of the statute under which the ap-
pofntment was made reads as follows:
The chancellor shall have full power and
authority 10 appoint, during his pleasure,
person Of integrity, judgment and skill in ac-
counts, to be auditor for the Chancery Court.
As this quotation is from the old Mary
land law it should be understood that the
Supreme Court of the District inherits
the powers and all the privileges of the
chancellor Of the old Maryland courts.

Not long ago Professor Marsh, of Yale
college, Yentured into the wilds of the Far
West in search Of fossils. He had no ranne-
milton or authority from any official source
for this proceeding; but his eminence as
scholar and his acknowledged prominence
as an investigator or discoyerer entitled
him to much consideration. When this
90 enthusiastic scholar, " as the New York
Tribune says, "and undaunted hero, in the
&c winter Of 1874, took his life in his hand
&c and with small party Of men plunged
90 into a country of savages and hostile In
I" dams, he found himself confronted by
the yeritable Red Cloud. This chief of the
red children of the plains and forests did
not st first appreciate the importance of the
chief Of the university and the library.

PRESIDENTIAL CALCULATIONS.

A letter received in this city few days
ago, from Wisconsin, contains the predic
- that large number of Western dele
s"'o. u INC L. Denublican National Con-
ventiOn will either be Ills
TO vote for the nomination of Gen. W. r.
Sherman as their candidate for President
Thereupon the reliable O. slate makers de-
duce that, unless President Grant withdraw S
his name in a peremptory manner the
entire South will vote for him, and that he
will also receive scattering votes from the
East, West, and Northwest sufficient to
secure his nomination. New England nav
be divided between Blaine, Hoar, and 9th
ers, and large scattering vote will weaken
the strength of all the prominent candi-
dates. General Sherman, however, will be
bitterly opposed by the Republicans of Ohio
and others Of like kidney who fear, no mat
ter how foolishly, the encroachment of
Roman Catholic influences in this coun-
try. Blaine will be violently opposed
by those who hold him, to some ex-
tent, responsible for the failure of the last
Congress to enact remedial legislation
which they deem TO have been required for
the Southern States. The anti Catholic
influence will also oppose him. President
Grant will be opposed by an array of dis
contented and disappointed office-seekers,
who 6atger themselves that they represent
q sentiment of the people in opposition to
the Third Term idea. Out of all this, the
Democrats may find some grains of conso.
lation; because, if these assumptions are
correct, there is prospect of q lively SQUAD
bic on the first ballot in the convention.
Other candidates are mentioned, and the
discussion provoked by the suggestion of
Gen. Sherman's possible candidacy prom
Uses to be quite lively. But we shall see

FROM every conceivable honest source
the President receives warm words approx
ing his course regarding the recent so-called
''whisky raid" The newspapers of the
country, regardless of party creeds, COM
mend it, and although some of them are
inclined to make invidious distinctions,
they are all compelled to admit that the Ad-
ministration has accomplished miraculous
victory over the greatest combination of
fraud and corruption of modern times. 1t
will be long time before the secret history
of this affair may be safely made public;
but enough is now known to justify the
earnest praise so generously bestowed upon
the President and Secretary Bristow.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-05-14

The Alexandria Sentinel thinks the next
Democratic candidate for President should
be a Western man. In this it reflects the
opinion of nearly every Southern Demo
Graf; but they are all induced to adopt the
opinion for pOlicy's sake. If they dared to
do so they would put in nomination 9
square-out State Rights Secession Demo
crat, who would represent the real views
OF the party. They know that the East
ern Democrats are more or less conserva-
tive on those issues, while the Western
Democrats, being free from the influence
of investments in cOastwise and interstate
commerce, are naturally disposed to yield
everything the South may demand. The
Sentinel says:
We have tried Mcclellan, Seymour and
Greeley, each of them representative men of
their section, and they have been beaten badly,
and il is time We should avoid such blind
folly.

PooR GEN. GORDON, of Georgia, is again
in trouble His declaration that the Con-
servatives of the South should, as a matter
of policy, declare in favor of maintaining
the political and civil equality of the COL
Ored people has been earnestly repudiated
bya writer in the Atlanta NeIoS. who says:
The truth has got to come; and the sooner
it comes the better. The position the negro
now occupies in our midst is shame and a
disgrace to American freedom. 1t is damna-
BILE outrage upon the pure blood that courses
its way through the veins of the h!gh-minded
TeVton. 1t is an infamy as black as hell it
self. 1t is a baneful curse that should
never be solemnly sanctioned by freedom
Arglo-Saxon race. And when Gen. Gordon
pretends to represent the true Southern senti-
ment by proclaiming q willingness to pledge
himself to maintain negro sovereignty in this
land, he is sadly mistaken.

THE District Commissioners have eau
tiously and earnestly taken the necessary

which has been rendered perfectly useless
by. the wear end tear to which it has been
submitted. The number of fires of recent
occurrence, il striking the alarms for
which the inef1ciency of the present ap-

to Justify the Commissioners in expending

in favor of the election of Governor Parsons,

THE ALABAMA DIFTICULTIEs-JUsT AS
WE EXPECTED. -.. ...

1t turns out that the "Court-house Legfsla-
ture," of Alabama, about which so much is
being said, vas organized without the knowi-
edge Of Senator Spencer, and had been in SEES
sion two days before he reached the city of
Montgomery. The leading men in that organ
ization were opposed TO Senator Spencer's Sc
lection-some of them very bitterly. In fact,
Governor Smith, the chairman of the commit
tee Of three sent by the ''COurt- house Legisla-
ture" TO represent that body here, was very
bitterly opposed to Senator Spencer, and we
learn has not been on speaking terms with him
for four or five years. The other two were
also opposed to spencer's election. 1t is well
known that the Republican State ticket had
just been elected by 10000 majority, and that
ifty-three Republican members of the House
Of Representatives had been fairly elected; but
the Democrats had succeeded In getting, BY
fraudulent certificates of election, five Dem
Oerats in counties which elected Republican
members. They boosted openly that it was
their intention to deny Governor Parsons, Hons.
J. Pennington, A. White, P. G. Clarke and
other elected Republicans the right to seats in
the Legislature, because some had been elected
Grant electors at the same election and others
were ineligible on other similar frivolous pre-
texts. It was well known to Democrats and
Republicans that the friends of several promi-
nent Republicans were expecting to 60 into the
nominating convention opposed to Spencer,
but when It was seen and known that
the Democrats were about to override the viii
Of the people Of the State and revolutionize the
State government by force, as they had done two
years before that time. Governor Parsons,
upon whom most OF the opposition to Spencer
was concentrated, refused to allow his friends
to use his name as a candidate, and he himself
put Senator Spencer in nomination, and he re
ceived every Republican vote In the Legislature.
This whole matter has been the subject of fnL
vestigation by the United States Senate, and
the legality Of the courthouse legislature
fully established, and that decision Is not likely /
TO be disturbed. The statement that Pelham,
sheats and others acted as q committee to Sc
cure speneer's election by fraud is sent out by
the Demecratic politicians to injure the Re-
publican party in this way. Colonel sheats is
q thorough, sound Union man If there ever
was enc North or South, and is very popular
with the Union men of Alabama, and IL the
present Administration could be induced to re-
move him It would be such injustice as to
aliente the affections of such large number
of tae only friends the Government has In
Alabama that It would rebound 10 the interest |
of tie enemies Of the Government In that State.
SO hr as Judge Pelham is concerned It was
