BRUTAL HUSBANDS.

Yesterday George w. Armstrong and
Thos. Cullen were arrested and locked
up In the Second Precinct Station,
charged, from Information received,
with having, on the 18th instant, brutal
ly assaulted and beaten woman named
Sarah Cullen, wife of the latter. A
DEMOCRAT reporter visited the woman
at the Charity Hospital, and found her
in a most distreSsful condition, her face
being all black and blue and her body,
as stated by the nurse in charge, shows
signs OF a most terrible beating.
Mrs. Cullen states that on Monday
last her husband came home drunk and
while in the yard in company with Arm
strong, drinking beer, she approached
him for the purpose Of taking his hat
Armstrong becoming enraged at having
his friend interferred with piled in to
Mrs. Cullen and kicked her all over the
yari, then revived her wounded feelings
by watering her with couple Of buck
cts OF well water. Mr.. Cullen thinking
that Armstrong had been too lenient
with his wife, grabbed broomstick and
combed b. hair with it.
At this juncture Mrs. Armstrong put
in an appearance, and was about to
clear the cOmbatants from the yard,
when Armstrong; fist caught her in
the jaw, which had b.en sent with con-
force from his right shoulder,
and had the effect OF making Mrs. Arm
strong swallow some OF her teeth. The
neighbors finally interfered, and the
fighters dispersed.

THE RADICAL DKMONsTRATION.

Booml Booml BoomI 'Rah for Hazy Weller.
The Radical cannon went of at the foot OF Canal
street. yesterday evening. ~ agreed on. The
cannons. tied on to some old drays. Numbered
down to the levee: and the Metropolitans boldly
and unninchingly did their duty like soldiers
and patriots. nobody being present. this time. 10

to color. Witnessed the performance By the BY.
the foot Of Canal street IL rather queer place
for the Metropolitans to celebrate . Radica
triumph. One bell rang or rather tolled feebly
and some tug or steamboat blew its whistle
in mournful. melancholy. plaintive
manners and then. when the police fired thirty
shots tthe number Of electoral votes the candi-
dates are expected to get) the excitement reached
such freezing point a. almost to beget cheer.
However. the mules In the neighborhood seemed
the most excited and more frightened than the
Democrats at this grand demonstration. and
one or two tried to run on. All peacefully over.
the drays were recalled. and the cannon dragged
away, leaving behind q very disagreeable. sui
phurous Radical smell.

ignorance Of what it oil meant. the
general impression being that the almanac was
sick, and that the Fourth Of July had been pre-
delivered.

Tim Fararas and John Rice we're taken
into the Third Precinct from 667 ST.
Claude street, by virtue Of warrant,
wherein they were charged with having
stolen property in their possession,
knowing the same to have been stolen.
Among the distinguished arrivals at
Capt. Joseph hotel we notice the name
OF Mrs. TreviIle, who is staying there at
the request OF A. Populus, who charges
her with larceny. and on two separate
affidavits with threats to kill.
Pierre Rebore and Borea Kieff, a: 80

skiff in their possession.
John L. Lewis is now resting on his
laurels in the Eighth Suburban Station,

The Pslfcy of strict Ecsnemy and ne-
trenchment 70 be Maintalned.

The Policy of strict Econemy and Ne.
trenchment 70 be Maintained.
The budget Of the city for the current
year IL being discussed at the City Hall
and from present appearances the indi.
cations are that 1t will prove far more
favorable than circumstances would
seem to allow. II there is q deficit Il
will be comparatively small. When the
estimates Of the administration were
made, It was believed that the expenses
Of the police and schools would be re-
duced to figures proportionate to the
ability OF the city to pay; but as 1t is
the laws which govern these two
branches Of our city government
still leave them in the hands OF mer-
cenary men, and beyond the control OF
the city. which has, nevertheless, to
levy the taxes only to turn over the
funds virtually to the police and school
boards. The city has also been thwarted
in its projects Of retrenchment by the
persistency of the Radical party to keep
1--we police courts when two would be
amply sufficient to meet the require
ments OF the city, thereby continuing q
useless expenditure Of thousands OF
dollars yearly.
There have been apprehensions In
some quarters that the Council might
be compelled to increase the city tax
alton from one and half to two per
cent, but after inquiring into the matter.
the rumors appear to be without foun-
dation, and there is an unmistakable
on the part Of the admin
to meet the exigencies OF the
situation by still stricter economy and
further retrenchment.
Even now 1t is proposed to scale the
Of the employees In the City
Hall twenty-five per cent. The propo-
sition, although entailing hardship, Is
we'll received by the en-
ployees, who understand that 1t is far
better to receive their reduced wages In
cash than the full amount In scrip.
The wharf lease matter is still under
and it is hoped will soon
be amicably settled between Mr.. Eller-
man and the city. In the event that the
city shall cancel the lease it is pro-
posed that the wharf bondholders
or a combination OF these, shall as
sumo the position OF Mr.. Ellerman. An
of the lease for. say, two
years, would also form part OF the con-
tract, and in compensation the new
essees would bind themselves to re-
luce the wharf dues in accordance with
} new tariff to be provided for.
When this is accomplished the diff
,ulties which now exist will be mate
rally lessened. and it is not improba-
Die that the budget will make better
showing than might otherwise be ex-
,ected.

STATE HOUSE.

The Two Louisiana Votes For Hayes.
The Cincinnati nominations are very
politely and very cool y rt csived at the
State House. Little is known OF Hayes
opinion on Louisiana matters, and
Wheeler is no great favorite, having as.
sisted the Democrats, they say, in steal.
ing q half dozen Radical seats in the
Legislature. "It is a strong ticket" is
the most they can say Of It; not par
ticle Of enthusiasm can they manage to
get up. It IL doubtful II barrel OF
whisky could persuade any negro In the
State to venture into genuine "hip,
hip, hurrah."
The vote Of the Louisiana delegation
is not much applauded or appreciated.
The Louisiana delegates did neither of
two things expected OF them, lead for
ward VIGOROUSLY Morton 3 columns, nor
fall In gracefully behind the favorite
States, and help to boost him up and
elect him as the Republican proposed.
Instead, they wandered off on all the
wrong side roads, Morton, Bristow and
Blaine.
Kellogg and Pinchback are credited
with being the two knowing ones who
foresaw the end and went over to the
winning man on the last innings. The
others unluckily clung on to the chilly
Mr.. Blaine. Louisiana came before Mis-
sissippi and Michigan, and the delegates
had voted before the detection OF Mich
igan to Hayes assured his election, and
were unable by the rules OF the Conven-
tion from changing their votes.
AS to Wheeler, the delegates blunder-
ed worse, Louisiana being almost the
only State that opposed him and pre-
vented his unanimous nomination on
the first ballot.
The politicians, however, promise to
make up for these mistakes by getting
up little Hayes Wheeler enthusiasm
now.
Kellogg has wandered off to Chicago
for few days, in search Of pleasure and
health rather than business and poll.
tics. He has made arrangements fol
this stay, having pretty well filled all
the appointments, thus removing all
temptations from Antoine. He is ex-
pected back Wednesday or Thursday
Packard may also be delayed day OF
two. The others will be here either this
morning early or tonight.

All the members OF the Congressional Com
mittee, with the exception Of Gen. Gibson ard
Mr.. DarraIl. left yesterday evening for Wash
ington. Mr.. Darrall went to Cincinnati
a few days ago to attend the conven-
ton. When he returns he and Gen. Glib
son will proceed to Bayou Sara to investi-
gate the West Feliciana troubles. which they
will report to the committee at Washing
ton. Beyond they have no authority and will
not inquire further into the Customhouse af-
fairs as is reported elsewhere under . misap
prehension Of the facts. Yesterday morning
the testimony taken before the committee was
Of . negative character. and generally unim-
portant. In the afternoon more negative
was taken. Among the witnesses who
appeared was Supervisor Kinsells. who fled
several afIidavits In the crooked salt transac-
tons. Other documentary evidence from the
oface Of the auditor OF the port was also fled.
The committee then adjourned TO Washington,
where they will continue their work until 1t Is
completed.

Cen. Hancock has been growing, Of
late, in popularity as the Democratic
nominee ct st. Louis while Gov. Tilden
who. q few weeks since, seemed to be
the strongest man In the party, has
been losing ground. We shall not be
surprised, however, II, since the nomi-
nation Of Gen. Hayes, Gov. Tilden
again assumes the foremost position
and finally obtains the nomination.
The nomination Of Hayes on . plat
form tainted With tho Western idea Of
imitation, together with the fact that
Morton. Logan. Ferry and other distfn-
guished Western Republicans are infia-
tionists, may possibly develop into still
moro aggressive activity on the currency
question, and offer the Democratic at
st. Louis an opportunity to nominate
candidate, and adopt . platform which
will tremendously increase the strength
Of the Democracy In the East, ana
carry, besides New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, the States Of Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire. Indeed,
II II possible that the Republicans
after their brief career as q hard
money partyare returning to the theory
Of imitation with which the whole his
tory Of their party IL identified, while
the Democracy repudiating the heresy
OF it, Ohio line, may plant itself square
" and fairly upon it, time honored
doctrine Of hard money.
Should this policy be adopted at st.
L0tis, there ID no man moro likely to
obtain the nomination than the reform
Governor Of New York.. whose name
and fame are identified with Democracy,
hard money, and reform.
We are not making q prediction, yet
shall not be astonished II Gov. Tilden is
at st. Louis on hard money
md reform platform. And, II this shall
be the case, 1t Is very likely that the
South and the East will combine to
elect the next President.

Credit always entails loss, and
whoever puts himself in the power
of a creditor will have to pay, sooner
or later, his proportion of all losses,
and in addition the expense of col
lection with accrued interest and
profits on the loan. Let every
Southern agriculturist remember
this, and pay as he goes. Buy only
that which is absolutely needed, pay
for it when You get it, and then take
good care of it; and the result can
not fail to be beneficial. Debt is a
hard task-master; and they are real
ly happy who have never come un-
der his CALLING exactions.-ISo

Small Farms.

An agricultural paper tells Us that
s.small farms make near neighbOrs;
they make good roads; they make
plenty of good schools and churches;
there is money made in. propotion to
the labor; less labor is wanted; every
thing is kept neat; less wages have
to be paid for help; less time is was
ted; more is raised to the acre, be
sides, it is titled better; there is no
watching of hired help; the mind is
not kept in a worry, a stew, Il fret,
all the time. There's not SO much
money to be paid out for agricultural
implements. Our wives and chill
dren have time to read-to improve
their minds. A small horse is soon
curried, and the work ola small
farm is always pushed forward in
season. Give us small farms for
comfort; aye, and give us small
farms for profit" And all this is
true if we carry to the small
farm the same cash capital that he
would put on a larger one. The
writer OF this has had a very varied
experience this season, extending
from into Canada to the Gulf oil
Mexico, and undertaking chiefly in
pursuit OF agricultural knowledge,
aud he is quite sure that If most Of
our farmers would sell half theil
land and put the labor and capita
spread over large farms to the
smaller ones left, it would be Z
great move in the right direction

olive years of good stealing in
South Carolina is, according to
Judge Mackey, of South Carolina,
the platform of the carpet bag Sena
tor John j. Patterson. of that State.
That Senator finding that those who
were operating with him in that
State were becoming frightened at
Governor Chamberlain's measures
OF reform, upbraided his associates
for their fright, and undertook to
rally them for further plundering
exploits with the following battle
cry: .Are you going to let Chamber
lain frighten you off with his Cry Of
reform and economy? Why, gentle
men, there are five years OF good
stealing in South Carolina yet" The
| FIVE years extend two years beyond
Patterson's present term as Senator.
H. evidently wants to hold the
thieves in line to re elect him.
