vention Of Saturday, July IL, and Messrs.
L. E. Bentley. Louis Lefort, Daniel Grant,

ton of Rutherford B. Hayes. of Ohio,
and William A. Wheeler, of New York,

grand old Republican party; that we be-
lieve their election will be q guarantee of

strength of our cause, and heightened the
chances of victory. We express our unal-

will give him our continued support while
he remains as true and steadtast TO Repub-

The Funeral Of Mrs. Willis.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, in noticing the
Obsequies over the remains OF Mrs. Helen
c. Willis, the sister Of Senator Twitchell,
on Monday last, in this city, says: Mrs.
Willis, it SCENE, lost her husband by VIC
lence in the South, and at the same time
was sister of Senator Twitchell, of Lou
isiana, who was wounded by band of as
sassins some months since" Well. yes;
that is scarcely an Overstatement of the
case. Mrs. Willis husband, dead for two
wears, murdered by the White League
Democracy, would "seem" to be ''lOst,"
while MIR. Twitchell, with both arms off and
shot in one leg 80 as to be unable to
walk, would ''seem" to be wounded"
The Enquirers v ay of putting. the facts
as to these internal outrages by the Tilden
and Hendricks Democracy reminds us of an
expression used by Mr.. Twitchell himself
yesterday morning. When accosted by .
visitor with the question whether he would
return to Louisiana, Mr.. Tilden replied that
he would 80 soon a. he was able; that he
was far from being discouraged yet, al.
though he had suffered enough to 'dis-
courage" him during the past four years.
The murder of one brother and three
brothers-in law, the death of two sisters in
law as the direct result of the assassination
of their husbands, the death of an only
sister in the same way, and the personal
loss of both arms and the use of one leg from
the wounds of six bullets shot by Iilden
and Hendricks Democrat, are circum
stances tending to discourage" almost any

they did not disappoint their friends, as
they kept up steady pull all the way
round, getting home in good order, recelv-
ing hearty cheers from more than their
Third District friends. The Riversides
were second, but not near enough to GUS
tain their well-earned reputation. The
other boats were somewhere, when it was
announced that the Hopes had made the
trip in 1896.
Had the public to-day found nothing IN
the newspapers concerning this regatta the
blame must have rested on the managers
OF the race, as press reporters were not
given the least attention; indeed, had not
those gentlemen depended entirely on their
own resources for information there would
have been nothing published. As it is our
readers are warned to accept the published
reports with grains of salt. 1t is hoped
that there will be better arrangements for
to-day Unfortunately the course compels
visitors to face the setting sun, which pre-

Hiding Sans Suggestions.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune, July ID, sage:
The Banking and Currency Committee
again postponed the vote upon the bill to
repeal the specie resumption act, notwith-
standing the majority vote OF the House
instructing the committee to report the
bill There can be no doubt that the voice
Of Mr.. Tilden has become the potent re-
straiuing influence in the Banking and Cur
rency Committee. Three weeks ago Cox,
Payne and other original hard money Dem
Ocrats on the committee were bringing all
possible party influence to bear upon Glib
son and Wike to force them to vote against
their consciences and tor the bill, which
represents the initiation plank of the st.
Louis platform. At every meeting since,
these De mocrats, who were so persistent to
carry out the St. Louis platform, have been
silent There is excellent authority for
saving that their silence has been secured
by the direct command. if not By threats of
Governor Tilden.
Requests have come from Tilden direct
to the Democratic members of the commit
tee that the repeal bill should not be re-
ported. Ii probably will not be. Governor
Tilden thus coyertly seeks to spurn the St.
Louis platform. Meanwhile, it is known
that there ia growing bitterness oH Til
denis part toward Hendricks, for his activ-
ity in behalf of the initiation plank of the
St, Louis platform. Hendricks has publicly
declared that the demand for the repeal of
the resumption act is vital part of that
platform. He has sought to impress his
views upon Western members here, and
has even intimated that he might not &C.
cept the nominate unless the repeal bill
was passed. Tilden, on the other hand, is
working directly upon the Banking and
Currency Committee, to prevent it from re-
porting the bill. These are facts which can
be fully substantated. 1t now seems
probable that Tilden will triumph over his
associate on the ticket in the Banking and
Currency Committee. This action, how
ever, has not strengthened Tilden with the
powerful initiation ring of his party.

BRIEF MENTIoN.-TwO prisoners, one
male and one female, very drunk. were
dumped into the first calaboose Sunday
night. The woman said her name was
Phil. Sheridan and the man insisted on
calling himself w. L. Evans.
A very large old fashioned cannon was
last week brought here from the Pensacola
navy yard, and sold for old iron. A large
pair of timber wheels picked up the old
shooter and started for foundry, but the
wheels could not stand the pressure, so
tumbled together on Julia near Carondelet
grim as war.
John Manuel, who has been connected
with the police force about thirteen years,
has been dropped from the rolls, as the
commissioners assert that they have proof
that Manuel was guilty of telling things
which he, as telegraph operator or officer
was bound not to reveal.

The police arrested several half grown

acting for Judge Evans, discharged them
with mild warning. Captain Gray will
continue to arrest the offenders.

An Indians Story
A late dispatch says:

An Indian who came in from the hostiles
says niue bands in more numbers than he
could count, engaged with Cnster. and they
lost more than he did. The Uncpapas alone
lost l6O killed, and they were q small por.
ton of those engaged. Among the killed
were Crazy Horse and Black Moon. The
latter was the first, Crazy Horse the second
and Sitting Bull the third CHI of the
Sioux. Colonel Smith says the body of a
great chief was found, and for q time was
supposed to be that of Sitting Bull, but
men who know him pronounced against it.
The story in relation to Indian losses comes
through reliable sources, and is believed
here. The statement that the Grosventres
and Mandans had joined Sitting Bnll proves
untrue. though they seriously contemplate
that course.

THE LAKE RRGATTA YEsTERDAY.-Thou-
sands of people incommoded themselves
yesterday to visit Lake Pontchartrain, via.
the railroad, to witness the annual regatta
Three contests, all of considerable interest
were advertised, and took place az per an
nouncement, with but single exception;
that diversion was in the third, four-Oared
barges, when the st. John Club raised an
objection to the shallop used by the River
sides, and finally withdrew from the race
The protest was that the Riversides' barge
was not barge, strictly speaking-only a
gig built up. However, the other entries
announced themselves not only willing but
ready to start.
The first race was for single SOULS, one
mile, for which there were six entries. The
St. John Club named the boat Rose, r. G.
Musgrove; the Perseverance, boat Johnnie
F., James Keegan; Southern, boat Henry
Cox, M. Dallas; Orleans, boat Ripple, n.
Edwards; Hope, boat Charlie, O'Donnell;
Howard, boat Eva, Bat Calvin.
The start was tolerably fair one, and
the contestants Kept their pace until near
the half mile stake, when Dallas drove his
head toward the lakes bottom, and soon
after ODonnell followed suit. This left
the race to Mr.. Musgrove, who quietly
vowed himself to the string in S:5Sl9-win-
ner.
The second race was for double SOULS,
one mile and half, three entries-How.

Burk, bow, and Thomas Burke, stroke; St.
John, boat Amelia, George LeSassier, bow,
and K. II. Mitchell, stroke; Hope, boat
Hattie Buckley, William Brennan, bow.
and John Lusk, stroke. The distance to
the turning stake was too great for people
on the pier to see them turn, but as they
neared home the Ho wards red shirts
showed at the fore, that club winning the
race in ll:51.
The third and last race was for four.

HOMICIDE BELOW ALGIERs, AT THE CUT-
|oFF.-Last Saturday two little children
those of Magill Monsono and Alexander
Jones, fought about the same as do three
DAYS old chicks while the old hen is not
looking. It was not likely that they would
or could harm each other, but the mothers
never thought of that, and each ran to pro-
tect her offspring, when they themselves
began to fight with teeth and finger nails,
and as if the war was not sufficiently lively
old man Jones took hand; then Monsono
stepped into the ring, holding a picket,
which he swung around promiscuously; in
deed, one end of 1t somehow met up with
the elder Jones' body. After that the
Younger Jones. Alexander, hearing of the
assault, loaded up his musket in business
like manner and shouldered the weapon,
proceeding to Crawford's store. Monsono
was also on the war path, and as he looked
into the same store Jones noticed the handle
of large knife protruding from his pocket.
Threats were made, and the end was that
young Jones discharged his weapon at Mon,
eono, killing him on the epot. Feeling that
he had simply saved himself he started for
the Algiers police station to surrender him
self. and did so. His statements and those
of the friends of Monsono do not agree.
