A ReyengefuI Father.

On last Wednesday evening Joseph
Cimarelli was the victim OF severe
beating at the hands of one Louis
Dubroc, barber on Lafayette street,
near Carondelet. 1t appears that Gina
relli was somewhat smitten with Du-
broc's daughter, who was across the
Lake, and had also received letter
from his fair admirer, which con-
tanned certain insinuations against her
fathers language that the father had
on a previous occasion used against
Cimarelli, and which the daughter had
made bold to tell her lover.
Cimarelli, after perusing the letter,
accosted Dubroc regarding its contents.
Dubroe denied the allegations, and on
the letter being given to a third party,
Dubroc grabbed it.
This reused Cimarelli's anger, who
started for Dubroc, but not being as
good a man on the muscle and kick as
Dubroc, he came out second best. The
castigation that be received was SO
severe that for while his life was in
danger. Dubroc was arrested, arraigned
and released On bonds.

A SQUARE BALANCE WANTED.
The Council Earnestly at work ON the
city Budget.

To meet the expenses OF the city for
the current year without incurring the
necessity OF issuing scrip or any other
like obligation, Is what is occupying the
attention OF our City Administrators just
now. The condition of the city, finan-
cially. 30 far as this year Is concerned,
Ia. that at the rate Of the present month
ly expenditures, as compared with
ia income, IL will show deficit by
the first OF January, 1877, OF
$1G1 900, unless means are adopted
10 obviate IL. The situation, how
ever, Is far from being desperate.
The first remedy proposed, Is that which
computes with sordid facts and figures
-reircnchment; by decreasing the
number of the citys employees and re-
ducinp the salaries OF those retained,
md those Of the Administrators them
selves, twenty-five per cent. rms IL
is reported will be reached by u
reduction In the expenses OF THO
Department OF Improvements amount
ing TO $l0S,0O0 for the remaining SIX
months of the year, and to Sb3,ooo
In the other six departments. It u the
opinion OF Mr.. Plsbury. the Admins.
traitor Of Finance, that this reduction OF
"
without much difficulty, and the exigen-
cies OF the budget complied with. The
second proposition involves the closing
OF the free markets. IL isalso the opin-
ion OF Mr.. Pilsbury that, In the event
these markets are closed, the city will
be enabled to obtain 100000 for Its
markets on lease Of two years. or this
amount 100000 is entered on the
budget pledged to the late fiscal
agent leaving q surplus Of 100000, to
be added TO the credit side OF the budget,
thus reducing the deficit TO $6i 900.
which will bc easily supplied.
In such case the hardships which
might otherwise result to the employees
of the city will be greatly modified, and
Il is barely possible that there may be
no reduction Of employees or salaries at
all
The wharf question Is In statu quo, ow
ing to the proceedings taken in the Supe-
rior District Court by the bondholders.
Therefore its effect upon the budget, II
1t can have any, cannot be determined
until Judge Lynch decides in the
matter.

THE THIRD PRESS CAST.
Another and More Powerful one ordered
from the North.

On Thursday afternoon large mum
ber OF ladies and gentlemen were In at.
tendance at Leeds Foundry to see the
pouring" in the casting Of the third Of
the 76-inch cylinder Tyler presses which
have been ordered Of Messrs. Leeds q
Co. The spectacle was a novel one to
many, and was looked upon with great
interest and admiration by everybody,
in some cases even with awe.
Without wishing TO enter into the de-
tails OF the operation, the chiefest i'm
portance of which Is that 1t Is a new
step towards progress and enterprise, 1t
may be said that the process occupied
fully an hour and the vices Of forty
or fifty mechanics and laborers, super
intended by Capt. Archibald Mitchell
Among the prominent gentlemen
present, the names of Messrs. John b.
1atitte and s. III. Kennedy should be
mentioned.
As has already been stated in the
DEMOCRAT, the new impulse given to the
construction OF powerful compressors Is
due mainly to the sound criti i5mA Of
Mr.. Latitte, who was the first TO dare
to express his surprise that the first cot
ton market OF the world should be
provided with only the most in
ferior presses. Mr.. Lafitte has not
only preached but practiced. As Presi-
dent or the Louisiana Cotton Tie Com
pany, this gentleman has ordered for
his company another press, which will
make six in all, with which New Or
leans will be provided, by the begin
ming OF the commercial year.
The new press will also be or the Ty-
Ter pattern, with many patented i'm
provements and novel features, and was
ordered in Reading, Pennsylvania, ow-
ing to the inability of our home insti-
tutions, through press OF business, to do
the work here. 1t will have 75-inch
cylinder and popderous lifting rods IL
inches in diameter, IA cumulations, and
Is expected to create u pressure OF
twenty tons to the inch, therefore max
ing 1t the most powerful cotton com
pressing engine in the world. Among
the novelties which it will present will
be its frame, which will be entirely of
iron, and two small reversible cyl
inders. These reversible cylinders are
intended TO not only accelerate the re-
versing OF the machinery, but also to
avoid any possible arrest when the
rods touch the perpendicular line, as
has been the case frequently, in one in
stance neccssitating the dlsmounting OF
the press to put 1t back in working or
der. The press wedge will also be of a
novel pattern and great improvement
on the old style.
The new press, Mr.. Lafitteassures us,
will be placed into position, In the Bat
ture Warehouse, which will then assume
the character OF a cotton press, and be
ready TO go into operation on the first
of Sep4mber next.

A Grant, A Robeson, A sheridan.
[Chicago Times.l


Secretary Fish has remaining chance
to signalize himself as a Talleyrand, by
forcing the Haytians to eat the longest
and the humblest sort OF leek for the
seizure OF a culprit on an American ves-
sci. For such an act as this England
prepared for battle, in the famous Trent
business, but England did not have a
Grant at the head Of the nation, nor a
Robeson at the head of the navy. II
we were not engaged with the Indians,
this would be good work for Sheridan 8

his relative will die; the doctors are

Tildsn.s. majority In Indiana is
5.555. Peter Cooper received 1888
votes, mostly Republican. The fact
is suggestive.
Gov. Chamberlain received so, 4O3

Political Ou,IooIe

We haye endeaVored to keep our
readers posted as to the important
phases of the political situation as it
d0velopes from week to week. Cen
gress has SO far done nothing of any
Importance except to send committees
to South Carolina, Florida and Louis
lana to investigate the elections in
those States. The Senate aAd the
House have each sent their own COM
nlttses, and each Of those State CAPT
tails 10 now favored with the presence
OF two committees from Congress,
each hard at work collecting evidence
In favor of one side or the other. The
majority Of the House committees are
Democrats, and the majority of the
Senate committees are Republicans,
and It nay be safe to say, that the
Democrats will report that Tilden car
Rad those States fairly and fully, and
the Republicans will report that the
returning boards haYe decided the re-
salt In accordance with law and JUS
tice. These committees will not tie
ready to report until after the holiday
recess which Congress has taken.
Beth parties in Congress are quiet
and apparently in good humor, but
the when election investigating COM
mittess begin to report, say, during the
middle OF january, the Congression-
al fun " and fury, for this session,
will begin-in earnest.
In South Carolina, Chamberlain
and Hampton both have sworn in and
claim to be Governor, and the Repub-
Mcans recognized Chamberlain and the
Democrats recognize Hampton. The
presence Of the national troops alone
prevents open war there between the
tive parties. Hampton's Democratic
House Is still with him, aad he Ii try
ing his best to persuade the Demo
cratic members Of the Senate to with
draw from the Senate chamber and
act with his House. When the gener-
nj government puts its foot down,
Hampton will probably subside.
In Florida and Louisiana all is quiet,
and both aides are pouring In evidence
Of intimidation. The funny part of it
IL that in Louisiana especially, scores
Of negroes appear before the House
committee and swear that they have
been bulldozed" and intimidatsd
from voting the Democratic ticket.
What it takes to intimidate q man from
voting il not as yet very clearly defin-
ed.
The interesting point, of course, is
how Congress will count the vote for
President. The Senate will probably
count Il for Hayes, and the House fer
TIldep. It Is possible, though not
probable, that both Houses will agree
on some way Of counting the vote be-
Esre the day for doing it, Feb. 18th, ar
rives. So far no plan suggested meets
the approval Of both parties.
We venture now just this prediction
