Sena tor Twitchell,s Condition.

A messenger direct from Senator Twitch-
ell arrived yesterday, and brought a letter
to Acting Governor Autcine. The state
ments published in the Democratic papers
that Mr.. Twitchell knew his assassin, and
directed that no investigation be bad, are
Enthusiastically untrue. The Senator
says he still regards his life in danger, and is
nightly in dread of the house where he lies
being surrounded and himself killed. He
is being attended by an army surgeon, and
is doing as we'll as could be expected. His
left arm was completely shattered, and am
putation was necessary. He also received
two wounds in the right arm, a ball through
the lett thigh, and one in the back of the
neck. Senator Twitchell is no stranger to
bullet wounds. During the war he received
an ugly wound in the head, which disfg.
ured him for life. He is now carefully
cared for at the houee of Mr.. Harrison, and
the belief is that he is now out of danger
on account of his injuries.
Speaking of the shooting of Senator
Twi,chell. the Shreveport Telegram, of the
elSutu lu6tGut, Says
The Times of this morning says that the
Telegram spoiled point by saying that the
stranger" who did the late shooting at
Coushatta was armed with an improved
rifle, and after asserting that the White
League never existed as military organi
zation, secretly or openly in North Louis
iana says that it has 'infOrmation from q
source which we consider perfectly reliable
which is that the man had an ordinary
gleshooting rifle, and. moreover, that
he missed with the rifle and did the damage
with six-shOoters." The account given by
the officers of the steamer Durfee, published
in the Times of the fifth instant, says the
stranger was armed with "a Win.
chester rifle, carrying sixteen shots
and navy elk shooter" and the pri
vate letter from a citizen of Coushatta
published the came date, says he was
armed with sixteen-shOotipg Winchester
rifle and a Remington six-shooter." Dis
patches from Coushatta represented the
riti > to be Winchester rifle. So much for
the kind of weapon used, aud whether the
White League in North Louisiana existed
as a military organization or not, it has
been often asserted, and, we believe
brought out in testimony before the con-
gressional committee, that improved fire
arms had been received or shipped to
Coushatta. The stranger was very for
midable individual, at any rate, to shoot
down men in full view of the citizens, and
ride of unmolested at his leisure, leaving g
his victims weltering IN their blood.

The Whisky Cases.

The jury in the whisky cases, on trial il
the United States Circuit Court at New Or
leans, after being out about five or six days
we're unable to agree and were discharged
by Judge Woods. We have one or two
IDEAS on the subject of these whisky cases
which We will now express.
1t is somewhat singular, it seems to US,
that the administration should allow frauds
on the revenue connected with whisky mat
ters, to be carried on seven years and insti
tute proceedings by way of criminal prose
cutions only in the last year of the admins
tration, or the year Of an election. If it is
right to prosecute now, it was right to prose
cute years ago. The fact that the govern
ment never took any steps i'll this direction
until recently led the men engaged in manu-
featuring CT dealing in whisky to lock upon
the whole matter lightly, and to act with IL
difference. The prosecutions should have
been carried on from the very start, when
huge fortunes were made, and when
a violation of the law vas more deliberate
aud intentional. The government having
for SO long time shut its eyes to such
transactions, whisky men were bound to
presume no prosecutions would ever be in
stituted. 1t seems, therefore, rather harsh
to let the old manipulatOrs in whisky OFT
free and indict only those now or lately in
the business. Among the men now indicted
are some of the most public spirited,
charitable and patriotic citizens of New
Orleans, notably among them John Hen
derson, Esq. one Of the most UNIVERSAL! 3
respected and popular men in the State.
From the negligence of the government
in these matters, manufacturers and mer-
chants began to believe that no criminality
could be attached to any Of their acts.
Such people generally make all the money
and save all the taxes possible. This may
not be morally right, but it is business,
especially at this time. If any person
should be punished it is the government
officer, who is appointed, commissioned,
sworn and salaried to prevent these very
acts, and then allows them to be perpe-
trated with impunity. He is the criminal,
for he betrays q sacred trust, the meanest
act of which man can be guilty.
These views may be singular; no doubt
they are, but they are our honest views,
nevertheless. But whatever may be the
question of moral right or expediency,
Judge Woods, of the United States Circuit
Court, one of the very best judges in the
country, and Mr.. Beckwith, who, as zeal
Ous and faithful district attorney stands un.
rivaled, can not be blamed for their course
in these cases.. They enjoy the entire con-
fdence and respect of our community
very deservedly so--and have done nothing
but their imperative and stern duty in the
premises.-St. Charles Herald.

Before tho Naval Committee.
Henry Clews was examined by the Navs
Committee to-day, and testified thar he
knew the President was actuated in favor
of removing the government accounts from
Barring Brothers g. Co. by reason of the
menacing attitude existing between the
United States and Great Britain lin coose =
Quence of the Alabama claims.
The President considered it safer for tbs
government business and secrets to be CON
tided to faithful patriotic citizens, rather
than to those who would be likely to Join
the enemy in case of hostilities. The Presi-
dent was of the opinion that it was the
duty of the government to give all honor
able advantage in ita power to its OWE citi-
zens in preference to foreigners. Clews'
house was engaged in new railroad enter
prises, but so was that of B BsriDg Brothers.
Clews stated that he had paid no money to
any officer Of the government or any other
person for influence.

who spoke ON women's inventions. She
contended that women were quite as in

any position where brains, intelligence and
more than ordinary ability were required.
American Female Guardian Society.
The American Female Guardian Society
and Home for the Friendless held it's an
nual meeting to-day. The reports showed
that during the past year the house had
sheltered 1850 persons; 1869 persons had
been aided; 1873 women and children had
been received; homes had been provided
for Ill children; 10000 garments and 10000
loayes of bread had been distributed. The

The Presidents reply to Mr.. Blackburn g
resolution of inquiry was keen aud well
deserved rebuke to piece ct partisan i'm
pertipence, Mr.. Blackburn did not allude
to the President by name; but no one could
misunderstood the drift OF his question. He
did not explain his purpose in Offering the
resolution; but there was nothing to be
gained by it except little cheap and vul-
gar partisan sensation. II is indecent to
use official correspondence between the
legislative and executive branches of
the government for any such petty ends,
and when q member of Congress at
tempts to do it he not only dis
graces himself-whlch is a comparatively
unimportant matter, even when it is not
superfiuous-but he brings the country into
disre pute. We think, therefore, that the
indignant answer of the President was en-
tirely appropriate. Perhaps it was not
strictly in accordance with official etiquette
for General Grant to read between the
lines OF the inquiry, and give it an applica.
tion to himself which was not expressed in
the text; but we can not regret that he al.
lowed himself q little liberty under such
aggravating circumstances, and took the
opportunity to rebuke with stern dignity a
political assembly which is very much in
need of castigation. We hope the House
of Representatives enjoyed it.
The incident has served good purpose
also in bringing out brief, spirited and
satisfactory answer from the President to
the gable in which some blackguard news
papers have iudulged for several years with
respect to his summer holidays at Long
Branch. 1t was out of the question to notice
these criticisms (if they are TO be dignitied
by such terml until they came from q
quasi-respectable source. As soon as they
were taken up in Congress General Grant
answered and, we think, put an end to
them. Frequent and prolonged absence
from the capital may be an abuse; but there
is nothing in the constitution or the laws
which condemns the President to be four
years interned at Washington, and the pre-
tense that no executive act can bs per.
formed anywhere except at the seat of gov
ernment is a mere absurdity.-Ne'c York
Tribune.
