TryfnG TO BulldoZe General Sher1dan.
A Cairo, Illinois, special, November y,
to the Chicago Times says:
General Phil II. Sheridan arrived in this
city last night On route for Chicago from
New Orleans. The train of the Mississippi
Central railroad on which he came was
seven hours late, and consequently he was
compelled to remain here until this after
noon. The loss of time by the train that
brought him he attributes to attempts to
bulldoze him. When the train arrived at
Bolivar, Tennessee, it was several hours
late, and ON leaving that station it ran at 3
lively speed. Near Middlebury, e small
station about elk miles north of Bolivar,
the train was run off the main onto side
track, switch having been opened by un-
known parties. Luckily the enginser sue
oeeded in stopping the train before any
damage wGs done. 1t was backed out
and again started on the main track,
but had gone only short dis.

from the locomotive and received injuries
that will prove fatal The engineer re-
mained on the engine AID was but slightly
hurt. The train was made up again, and
again started out. After running few
hundred yards the engine struck q huge
telegraph pole lying across the track, hat
no damage was done. Four different piles
of ties and telegraph poles " sre run into
within the distance of q mile. General
Sheridan became very nervous, and when
he left the car at the first obstruction, he
had his pistol in his hapd, but in the dark
ness he could see no bnlldozsrs nor bandits,

Gold.

About one month ago the importation of
gold in large quantities into this country
from Europe was begun for the fret time
since the panic which occurred in 1873, and
within the time indicated there have been
about 5000, QUO in gold received in this city
from abroad. In order to learn the cause
of the sudden influx of such comparatively
yesterday called upon 3 number of promi.
nent bankers and capitalists in Wall street,
and in every instance received the same
answer to his questions in regard to the
matter. They said that the balance of
trade was in favor of this country, and that
as it cost less to remit specie than to
buy bills Of exchange, the balance was set
with said: 1.-THE reason for this is very plain.
We are now clothing, feeding, and lighting
q large portion OF Europe, and We arc not
importing anything like an equal amount
of merchandise from them. The goods
they get from us must be paid for, and as
exchange is high they prefer to make their
REMIT ances in geld. l can not give you
the exact figures, but within the last ten
days 300 900 barrels Of refined petroleum.
this country to Europe, and that amount
alone is undoubtedly large enough to affect
the price of exchange. Besides the petro-
leum, the large amounts of cotton and
grain and other products sent ont must he
taken into consideration. A great part of
the money now coming in GOES into the
hands of the thrifty, saving portion of the
community, and they are taking care Of it.
and are not inclined to spend recklessly."
In reply to q question as to why the price
of geld did not decline, in view OF the
largo quantities being imported, another
gentleman said that he sscribed it to the
present unsettled condition of the political
aft airs of the nation.
There were SO many incendiary speeches
and threats made by the Democratic ora
tors and editors throughout the country
that the people were timid. and were dis
as the presidential question should be def
nitely decided, however, he believed that
the price of gold would be much lower.
Another said that, besides the primary
cause.-the balance Of trade in favor OF
this country-it was thought that the
Roth child. Morton syndicate might have
something to do with the sudden inc ease
in the amount of the importation Of gold.
They might be sending gold here and de-
posting it in the United States sub-treaeury
in order to pay for the four and one half
per cent government bonds subscribed for
by them. He could not cay how long the
present condition of affairs would last. but
it might possibly come to an end within
three or four weeks, as large impOrtstions
of holiday and other goods generally made
about the middle of December. Orders for
them might be sent ut any time by cable,
and they could be shipped to this country
by frst steamer, and in that way the diff
ference might be made up. or At least ma
terially reduced.-Ne,o York Times.

Governor Wickliffe-They are in charge
of the clerk Of the court and the Demo
cratic Conservative supervisor.
General Anderson-I presume they are
safe in his hands.
Major Herron-I would desire to make
an explanation with reference to the polls
of East Baton Rouge. The papers of poll
No. in ward No. will be found in the
box you have examined, for the reason
that the supervisor refused to accept the
returns made by the commissioners, they
having changed the commissioners on the
morning of the election in this way: The
Democratic commissioners, when each COM
missioner exhibited his authority to act,
finding that neither of the r. publican com.
missiozers had taken the oath required, and
therefore not being qualified to act. ap.
pointed ono under the law. aud they two
appointed an other commissi. ner, thus ex.
cluding the man who claimed to act as a
Republican commissioner, because he bad
not been sworn and qualified. For these
reasons the supervisor declined to receive
the returns from him. Only twenty-eight
votes were polled at that poll.
The board adjourned until ten O'Clock
this morning.

POLITICAL NOTES.

A private letter from St. Francisville
contains the information of q probably
fatal assault on Q colored man named
Davis, fsmiliarly known as one of the
"Duggs boys" by q son of Willis Hamil-
ton. 1t appears that Davis came to the
store of ]. Fuban & Co., about five O'Clock,
November 25, and Hamilton said: "Look
at that Radical -. Let's kill him."
Davis turned and said: What have done
that you should wish to kill mel" Hamil-
ton said no more, but shot him through the
head from the mouth to the neck. Davis
fell, but, rising for Q second, drew q pistol
and fired, but missed Hamilton, who again
shot him, this time in the thigh.
The Sunday before q colored man, name
unknown, was shot on the road near the
town.
Senator Sherman on Thursday addressed
q letter to Governor Palmer, proposing
to him and the Democratic committee that
if they would furnish copies Of the stfida-
Wits taken they would be forwarded to the
President with those taken by the Repub-
licans.
Governor Palmer replied that the COM
mittee wished the whole matter printed
and laid before the people of the country,
but declined ito be the medium of cOmmu-
nication between the representatives Of the
President and the citizens who claim to
have been chosen by the people of Louis
lana at the late election as Presidential
electors" They were willing. however, to
cooperate to secure publication.
