The Quincy Scandal.

QUINCY, ILL.,, August 2lst.-The pro-
ceedings in the scandal trial are grow
ing in interest as the evidence accu-
mulates tending to convict Rev. Mr..
Hoffman of undue intimacy with cer-
tain women. One witness testifies
to having seen Mr.. Hoffman quit par
ticular houses at unreasonable hours
of the night, and another witness
swears to having been told by ply
sician, whose services had been sought
for purposes of abortion, that if he
(the physician) was at liberty to tes-
tify, he would substantiate General
Prentiss charges in two minutes. The
deposition of respectable lady, taken
out of Court to-day, has not been
made public, but is considered impor-
tant. 1t is understood to refer to the
day visits of Mr.. Hoffman to certain
women, who always took. the precau-
ton to close the blinds; but it may
have been for the purposes of confess
sion and spirital intercourse. Matters
look ugly to-day for Mr.. Hoffman, but
he may be able to entirely dispel the
cloud that for time hangs over him.
The Court adjourned at noon to-day
until Monday.

FIGHT.

cation.

At halfpast 10 O'Clock Saturday evening, a
serious difficulty occurred in the bar-room, cor.
ner ofCarondelet and Lafayette streets, between
Mr.. James Coughlin and James Walsh, court
officer of the FIRST Municipal Police Court, in
which Mr.. Coughin was shot twice, once in the
left hand below the thumb, and in the forehead,
just above the right eye brow, the ball passing
into the head and coming out just in front of the
right ear.
MIR. Coughlin says that Walsh came in there
intoxicated, took drink, that he (Coughlin) asked
Walsh to go and lie down. as the weather was bad
whereupon Walsh drew his pistol and fired at
him !; he (Coughlin) raised his left hand, the ball
striking him below the thumb and glancing that
then he stopped behind the counter to get his
pistol and defend himself, and, while STOPPING
down, Walsh leaned over the counter and shot
him in the head.
Mrs. Walsh says that she was in the back room
when she heard the first shot, she then rushed
into the room and saw Walsh with his pistol out
she grasped him and then he fired the second
shot, and attempted to shoot her. Walsh be-
yond contradiction, was very drunk, and refused
to give any satisfaction, except that he claims to
own the house which Mr. Coughlin keeps; that
he had no difficulty, but that Cou3hlin drew
pistol and fired twice at him. This statement
is not to be relied upon as Walsh scarcely knew
what he was saying. No physician could be
found up to IL 2. M. Saturday.

A TERRIBLE CASTlGATION.
A Pupil Of Public School UnmercifG lIy
Beaten.
Who Inflicted the Punishment?

Wewere yesterday morning Saturday visit
ed by Mr.. N. Meyer, who was accompanied by
his little son, A. Meyer, aged years, pupil
of the Marshall School, located on Church
street between Girod and Julia streets. The
principal of this school is one F. A. Golden.
MIR. Meyer tells us that on Thursday last his
little son was caught in the trivial derelic-
ton of talking during school hours, and was
brought up before Golden for correction. In
stead of Furnishing the boy by the deprivation
of some slight privilege, or inficting some light
chastisement, Mr.. Meyer states that Golden
whipped this puny, delicate child of six years
until he was black and blue, and his little
body covered with large welts from the blows
of the cane.
In support of this assertion Mr.. Meyer
showed us the marks on the body of the
child, and sure enough, his poor little frame
was fearfully discolored with large black and
blue marks.
We cannot imagine any circumstances
which would in the slightest degree Justify or
palliate such conduct in a teacher in our
public schools, and. especially one holding
the position OF principal-one whose duty
it is to oversee and direct the management
of the entire school over which he presides;
and in the name of the public, we demand
an immediate examination of the matter.
Mr.. Meyer, not desiring to take the law
into his own hands, made an affidavit and
had a warrant issued for the arrest of Golden.
We can at present suggest no punish
ment adequate to the offense charged, and,
until the School Board and Judge Evans act
in the matter, we must let the case remain
where it is, merely insisting on thorough
and speedy trial.
Since the article in our evening edi-
ton of Saturday appeared, Mr. Golden has
called upon us to deny the fact of his having
cruelty beaten little Meyer. Whilst admit
ting that he whipped the little fellow ON the
body three times in succession for the purpose
of enforcing obedience, and because he re-
fused to hold out his hand to be whipped, he
denies having castigated him so severely as to
produce the severe bruises he now has, and
requests a suspension of public opinion until
an investigation be had of the matter.
Mr.. Golden, on learning that warrant was
out for his arrest Immediately proceeded to
the Central Station and surrendered himself,
being released on bonds to appear and an
swer the charge.

Hon. g. B. Packard, U. s. Marshal:
So-Several complaints have been made to me
recently OF the maltreatmeut of United States
prisoners in the Parish Prison Of this city, A re.
cent occurrence l feel constrained from q sense
OF duty as well as humanity, to report to you.
On the 3lst of August OF the present year l
com mitted to the Parish Prison one Adoph Will
Hams, upon the charge OF mutiny ON board the
steamboat Flirt, navigating the admiralty waters
of this district. On the 18th inst. sent for him
to admit HIM to bail on his own recognizance, as
considered that, In view of the facts of the
case, he had been sufficiently punished. His
head was tied up and several severe scalp
wounds mad been inflicted upon it, THESE he
alleges, were inflicted by one Thomas Carey, a
superintendent OF said prison, by striking him
with revolver.
There is no law Of the United States protecting
its prisoners, as such nor can find any state
law which Furnishes the officers of its prisons for
maltreatment or violence inflicted upon this class
OF men. The officers, however, like private in
dlvIdual, can be prosecuted for assault with
deadly weapon, or an assault and battery alone
When an officer takes advantage OF his position
to commit violence, or infiict cruel or unjustif
able punishment upon the unfortunate men who
are consigned to hum for safe keeping, he ought
to be punished to the full extent of the law.
Trusting that you will call the attention Of the
State authorities TO this matter at your earliest
convenience,
am, very truly, your obedient servant,

Sweetheart do you remember how
=, Half hidden In the blooming heather,
We watched a workman at his plow,
One idle summer day together?
One idle, balmy, dreamful day,
Not over full Of song or splendor,
But rare with sweets of new mown hsy,
And rare with music soft and tender
We we're but children-you and L
-. With childhoods trust and childhoods hoping.
Der all our futures upward sloping.
II cold and care were anywhere
Or anywhere the dark Of sorrow.
We knew rot, thought not, dreaming there
OF but the day and but the morrow.
We listened to the song Of BIRDS
Ourselves as softly, lightly singing,
Yet troubling not with sound of words
The silence where perfumes were swinging.
Enough for us that we could feel
Our pulses to the Days pulse beating,
And know that for divinest veal
His spirit and our own were meeting.
Iknow not why-O sweetheart mine.
But that dear day my heart is haunting
What time watch the lessening line
OF ships that sail DER seas enchanting.

Unlevel lengths of sun and shadow,
Hiding my kisses in the moss
That edges all the old home meadow.

I rock the red rose on my bosom,
But cannot find you anywhere
On seas of space or beds of blossom
reach the sunshine and the dew;
l hear the nestled bluebird calling,
And yet know not if, with you,
The sunshine or the rain is falling.
So be it. All the world is sweet,
And haply you are somewhere in it,
No shadow of regret shall meet
The sunshine of single minute.
Summer is with me. Calm on calm
Is lying in my heart and over,
The while sit here palm on palm
With all the laughing land my lover.
