ed Saturday evening by II. M.
Clarke, one of the editors of the
Democrat, in a quarrel which grew
out of a political discussion, which
commenced in jest Boyd accusing
Clarke OF having been a Ku-Klux

saying that Boyd had been a LOYAL
League leader. Boyd responded
by calling Clarke a id liar.
Clarke asked him to retract the
expression. Instead of doing so,
Boyd put his hand behind him as
if to draw a pistol, and advanced
on Clarke, who drew q pistol and
fired three shots, one taking effect
in the right arm, another in the
shoulder, and another in the breast.
Boyd fell and soon expired. Clarke

CRIEF JUSTICE WHITE ON
POLYGAMY.

SALT LAKE, Feb. Chief Jus.
tice White, in charging the gand
jury, to-day, concerning polygamy,
said: "We had better look it
squarely IN the face, distasteful as
1t may be to some, and govern our.
selves by right, reason and manly
discretion in dealing with it. Po-
lygamy must be suppressed in this
territory. Mormanism may survive,
and, relieved from it, would stand
unshackled and free as every other
creed or mode of religious worship,
shielded and protected by the con
stitution Of our common country
but If Mormanism cannot sever It.
self from polygamy, it will be to
it the bridal Of death. l

TisE GRANT-BRIsTow FEUD.

The reports of a disagreement
between President Grant and Sec
retary, Bristow having been re
vived here with more than usua
particularly of detail, your cores
pondent to-day undertook to sift
them to the bottom. 1t has been
stated, among other things, that
the issue between the President
and the Secretary reached a point
where either concession Or resigna.
tion must speedily ensue. This
report your correspondent feels au-
thorized to deny in toto. Secre-
tary Bristow has no notion of re-
signing. There are some differ
ences of opinion between Mr.. B.
and Mr.. Grant in regard to the
pending Whisky Ring suits, and
particularly in regard to the Bah
cock case; but there never have
been any discussions which could
be characterized as anything more
than animated. 1t is known that
the President does not entertain
the same kindly feeling for, or the
same tender confidence in Bristow,
that he does in Belknap or Robson,
for example. On the other hand,
he regards Bristow as an aspiring
man, not over-scrupulous as to the
means which he may employ for
his own advancement. In this
light the President looks upon his
Secretary with something like ad-
version, but Mr.. Grant thinks that
to force Bristow out of the Cabinet
at this time would almost inevi-
tably make him the next Republi-
can nominee for the Presidency,
and this feeling compels the Presi-
dent to the utmost forbearance
and circumspection. On the other
hand, Mr.. Bristow thinks that if he
were to leave the Cabinet now, be
would be torn to pieces during the
three months intervening before
the Republican Convention, by the
organs Of his rival aspirants for the
nomination, and he is hence moved
to hang on yet a while longer.
Thus are two sets of influences
operating to prevent an immediate
rupture IN the Cabinet, and it may
be safely assumed that they will be
strong enough to overcome any
temporary disagreement that may
occur. If Bristow leaves the Cab
met at all it viii not occur until
within two or three weeks Of the
assembling Of the Republican Con
vention, and not then unless he can
get a better pretext than he has
had for several weeks. Had the
Henderson case been deferred until
the middle Of May, it is safe to say
that the Secretary would have made
it the pretext Of resigning for the
dramatic effect 1t might have had
upon the Presidential situation.-
But as the case stands now there
is less likelihood of a Cabinet rup-
ture than there has been at any
time since the whisky trials began.

BABCOCK,S TRIAL,

st. Louis, Feb. g. Attornev
General Dyer opened by detailing
the history of the conspiracy, which
was opened here in 1871, stating
that 1t embraced all distlllers, rer
tifiers and United States officers
and employees in this city, and had
its ramlfications even in Washing.
ton. He cited several of the dis.
patchs alleged to have passed be.
tween Joyce, Mcdonald, Avery and
Babcock to show that the latter
two persons were engaged in con-
spiracy and in corresponce with the
conspirators. Dispatches between
Joyce and Babcock touching the
appointment of Col.s Constantine
Mcguire as collector of internal
revenue, after the death Of Charles
w. Ford, were cited. Colonel Dyer
said it would be proved that from
that time the defendant gave infor-
nation to the ring here. The de-
partment was thwarted in all its
efforts to get an investigation that
would reveal the frauds for the
reason that revenue officers sent
here were either bought up on their
arrival or advIces had been receiv-
ed announcing their contemplated
visit, and an opportunity was thus
afforded the distillcrs 10 straighten
up and show regular work. Dyer
claimed that it would be clearly
shown that Babcock not only had
a full knowledge of the frauds that
were carried on, but that he aided
them in their work and received
money directly from Joyce, who
mailed it to him. Babcock and
Avery were the two men at Wash
Hgtpn who kept the ring pts.ed.-
Even after the indictment of Gen
eral Mcdonald, Babcock, it would
be proved, was in secret cores
pondence with him. The evidence,
Colenel Dyer said, would, in a
measure, be circumstantial, but not
a link in the chain should be miss
ing.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9.-Acting under
the advice Of the court, given just
before the adjournment last night,
the government counsel in the
Babcock trial to-day, passed over
the conspiracy in 1871 and 1872,
and produced testimony to show
the expense and operations of the
whisky ring from 1878 to 1875. No
direct evidence was brought out on
Gen. Babcock, the testimony being
general in character, tending to
show who were in the conspiracy
and its extent. Joseph FitzroY was
put on the stand at the opening OF
the morning session and kept there
an hour and half. Fitzroy was
deputy collector of the internal
revenue, and after the departure OF
Conduce, McGrew, in November,
1872, became the actual business
man Of the ring. Sartentotf, the
foreman of Ulric's distillery, was
also dismissed.

THE WAR IN CUBA.
Correspondence of the New York Even
ing Mail,

ing Mail
The second importont engage
ment of the so-called winter cam
paign has been fought in the Sig
uanea woods, on the 26th inst, un.
der Brig. Gen. Montauer, leading
the left wing ofthe Spanish army tc
dislodge q force of rebels, estimated
at between 5000 and 1000 strong,
from the swamp shelter, and, if il
we're possible, destroy the valua-
BILE rebel factories and powder mill
known to exist therein; according
ly on the morning of the aforesaid
date the camp at Guareiras was
astir, and proceeded by strong
line of skirmishers, $500 infantry,
300 cavalry, with eight mounted
howitzers, moved out in marital ar
ray. Deploying nis forces in line,
Montauer leading the center, they
advanced into the forest, keeping
up an incessant fire, the artillery
in the extreme advance clearing
the way. No response came from
the unseen enemy, retreating slow
ly in front of the advancing Span
lards, till clearing was reached,
on the inner edge Of which an abat-
tbs seemed TO exist; halt was
sounded, and the extended line
contracted to clear this space and
carry what appeared to be rude
parapets, escorting it on the south.
Half an hours shelling followed
by four pieces in position, and then
on the double quick the infantry
was led to storm it, half the inter
vening space traversed, not with
out inconvenience, because the
ground was Uttered with lately fall
len timber and underbrush, and 81
lence reigned, interrupted by the
measured and slow retorts of the
four pieces Smelling at high range,
when from the two angles opposite
an enfilading artillery fire opened
from two masked batteries, well
supported by rifle firing. A wa
vering occurred, and finally a dash
was made, gaining only . few steps,
for the volleys Of the enemy thick
ened SO that hundreds fell per MIN
ute; the centre broke and fled back
followed by the two extremes.
Just at this time q yell resound-
ed over the din of battle, and Hen
fst}Reeyes, the American, led q
amounted infantry from under
cSSer, "a follow up the pursuit.
lHkScsspread, and men, horses and
lfmaments became tangled mass,
everything cumbersome was cast
down by the retreating enemy-to
the north border Of the clearing
when the reserve force Of l,500 in
tantry and cavalry protected the
shattered host and checked the
rebel advance.
The close of the day found the
Spanish army back at Guareiras in
q demoralized and pitiable condi-
tion, minus la officers and 642
men, with loss of four pieces OF

A BOYISH CURIOSITY THAT
WAS SATISFIED.
From the New York World. |


There is unhappily too much rea-
son 10 believe that the horrible and
fatal panic at Robinson's Opera
house, in Cincinnati, yesterday,
was the deliberate work of a
young boy who was fond of his
joke. OF course, this young
American humorist had no adeqate
idea of the effect that he would pro-
duce by yelling "Fire!' at an OPP
perfume moment in the midst of q
theatre crammed with women and
children. Had he suspected, how
ever family, what thing panic is,
a thing more horrible even than
mob rage, with it's concomitant
swoonings, shrieks, imprecations,
prayers, desperate struggles for life
regardless Of other life, he would
hardly have tried his experiment
Though it was not as successful as
it might have been, the aggregate
OF death and agony, mental and
physical, was doubtless amply suf-
1clent to satisfy his curiosity, and
1t is not likely that any who were
present will, while they live, engage
In or contenance practical joking.
The catastrophe serves to remind
us what materials are to be found
in every church, theatre or crowd
ed terry-boat, needing but the yell
Of a drunkard, a maniac, a brute
or q fool, to be quickened into hor-
ror inexpressible.

4. H.. BUTLER AND THE SUGG
FORT CLAIM,

Hon. r. R. Butler, of Tennessee,
has arrived in the city, and is await
ing developments in the Sugg Fort
Gase. He states that he is not
aware of any Indictment against
finn, neither have'any Of his friends
been able TO ascertain that one has
been found. He says he knows OF
no reason why there should be eth
er, as his connection with the Sugg
Fort case was mere routine mat
ter, such as every Congressman is
called upon to perform every week
for a constituent. 1t was, he says,
by the merest accident that he was
called upon by Mr.. Fort, whom he
had never seen but once before.
After the adjournment of Con
gress he was unable to leave the
City on account of illness for several
days, and while confined to his
room he was called upon by Mr..
Fort and urged to go up to the
Treasury and identify him. He
declined to do it on account of his
Illness, and Mr.. Fort afterward
brought carriage to his house and
Tenewed his request AMI offered to
lake him in the carriage. Under
these circumstances he went with
Fort, and all he did in the premises
was to identify him as a constitu-
mt of his, and when the check was
eaid he lndorsed it to satisfy the
parties that Fort was all right, and
had it not been for his detention
here by sickness some other Ten
iessee member would probably
lave done the work for Mr.. Fort
instead of him. Fort offered to pay
him for his services, but he declin-
ed to receive anything, and Fort
then offered to make present to
his wife and lie would not allow
that, and he never received q dollar
Of the money. He says all this has
been sworn to before the grand
jury, and he does not understand
upon what ground an indictment
can be found against him. d

that the Bristow and Jewell ticket

Indiana, is at work very busily in

has the promise of Governor Ames'

Ames at the head of the party, and
he has Jealous friends and agents
