On last Saturday night Deputy Sheriff
John Sheehan and Officer Sargent made
a raid on the old "Flat-Top'' on Fifth
street, where it has become the habit OF
idle darkies to congregate and pass away
the time in gambling on a small scale.
On this particular occasion there were
some eight or ten negroes busily engaged
in pitching "craps' in the upper story
OF the house. all of whom but two sue
ceeded in getting away by jumping out
Of the windows, etc. The two caught in
the house gave their names as Robert
Pasey and Jordan Watkins, They spent
Sunday In the lookup, and on yesterday
morning were taken before Judge Bird,
who gave them each fine of ten dollars
and costs. Pasey is a st. Louis steam
boat rouster, and promised to leave town
if the officers would give him a stay Of
execution. which they did. Watkins is
an old resident an chose to 90 to Jail.
where he will board and labor for the
city for the next fifteen days. Another
darkey named Weaver, who was also in
the gang, was picked up on the street by
the officers yesterday morning, and also
suffered to the amount OF fifteen dollars,
for which he gave security and was dis
charged. The "Flat-Top," we are in
formed by the officers, is a hard place,
that they intend toning down, or "die in
the attempt

tension prevails there on account of
the prevalence Of some fifteen cases of
yellow fever in the eastern section of
that city, in a locality adjacent to the
ship wharves, where hundreds of sea-
faring men find lodging. The whole
Health Department is at work. Three
deaths have occurred and several cases
have been sent to quarantine hospi-
tails. The line OF steamers between
Baltimore and Savannah have been
discontinued and several vessels are at
quarantine with cases of yellow fever
on board. One IN who died of
the epidemic last evening, remains
alone in a house. and DO M will go
near it,. Six cart loads of chloride Of
lime and other diSinfectants have been
scattered in adjacent streets, which
looks IA if a snow storm had taken
place. Police guard the infected neigh
borhooda and many families are moving
away for several squares. On every
side people are burning tar in front of
their premises.

BALTIMORE, Sept. Is.
Mayor Latrobe states that no cases Of
yellow fever prevails in Baltimore;
that official reports were made to him
up to last evening from DR.. Stewart,
Health Commissioner, and DR.. How

case of yellow fever was reported, or
has occurred. In his report, submitted
yesterday, DR.. Stewart states that ty-
phoid malaria fever prevails to some
extent in East Baltimore, fronting the
back basin in tenement houses, at the
foot of Thomas Dallas and Carolina
streets, and that he visited this locality
yesterday and found IL or l3 cases of
this fever, which originated from the
bad sanitary condition of the neighbor-
hood, most OF which were improving.
The persons suffering were not steve

any way be traced to the shipping in

Indian Treaty Contaminated.
OTTAWA, Sept. IS.
Information has been received by
the Government from Lieut.. Governor
Morgan, of the completion of a second
treaty with Indian tribes occupying
the country of which Fort Hill may
be described a. the center. Another
treaty, concluded three weeks ago with
the Indians near Prince Albert settle
ment, included all tribes east OF the
boundary of the treaty just made. The
treaty concluded embraces the whole
OF the North Saskatchewan country,
to the Rocky mountains, and leaves
only the BIackfeet Indians in the
southwest portion Of the territory to
be treated with next season.

WHITE PINE ITEMS.
From the News, 18th.

SHooTING.-Last Monday a China
man named Charlie Quong, a cook in
John Mollitor's restaurant, went tn
visit another Chinaman named Char
lie, who bad been cooking at Billy
MAYORS restaurant. 1t appears that
the two Cinnamon had been on the
best of terms, and that Quong was
showing his friend Charlie a new pis.
toll which he had recently purchased,
and while doing so the pistol was ac-
cidentally discharged, and shot Charlie
in the neck. DR.. Owens cut the ball
out of the Chinaman's neck, but thinks
it very doubtful if Charlie ever recov-
ers from the wound.
MAKING BULLION. - The Stafford
Company, who are running the Smoky
mill, are doing splendidly. The ore
that has been worked during the week
has averaged $40 per ton, just as it
comes from the mine. The company
have had some delays during the
week, on account Of the water pipes
and some other parts of the machinery
of the mill being defective. The mill
has stood idle for some three years,
and the machinery could not be ex-
pected to be in tirst-class condition.;
however, in a very short time every
thing will be running nicely.
4 GRAND JURY.-This body having
been in session for several days, adj
journed on Tuesday last. They found
three bills of indictment against the
following persons: Eli Cerdenelli,
grand larceny; bail fixed at $1,000;
James Sherron, felony; bail fixed at
$4,000; Caesar Belli, felony; bail fixed
at $4,000. They also ignored ten bills.
ATTENDING SCHOOL. - From the
grand jury report we learn that there
are three hundred and twenty-eight
children attending the different public
schools in this county, and that the
schools are generally in a hourishing
condition.

Our dispatches note the finality OF an
abortive cam aign against the Sioux,
a campaign conceived in folly and
born in massacre and defeat. Terry
has lost over one-fourth Of his COM
mand; Crook, like the King of France
in the old rhyme, has spent the whole
summer and at last has marched up
the hill and then marched down again;
and Custer with his three hundred
brave followers have fallen before the
bullets or beneath the scalping knives
of the implacable savages. And all
this disaster and disgrace We conf.
IDENTIFY charge upon the Republican
party as represented in the Senate of
the nation. Under the infamous
system which intrusts the charge of
the Indians to the civil authorities-a
system which has given to the country
a horde of disreputable thieves and
plunderers-these savages Of the
Northw west have, at Government ex-
pcnse, fed. clothed, armed and equipped
themselves for a successful campaign
against the soldiers of the Govern
ment. 1t has long been the policy of
the Democratic party to confer the
control of our red skins upon the army
where it belongs. A bill to that effect
passed the late Democratic House of
Representatives and was defeated by a
party vote in the Republican Senate.
But one drop is wanted to fill the meas
ure ofinfamy, and we venture to predict
that drop will not long be wanting.
We venture to predict that ere another
month passes by we will learn that the
remnant of these gallant men have been
ordered to Southern cities to secure at
the point Of the bayonet a Republican
success on The 7th Of November.

Hayes while at Philadelphia was
prevented, it Is said, from carrying out
his intention Of visiting Grant at Wash
ington, by a ruse Of the home keepers
of the Republican nominee, telegraph
ing him that pressing official business
demanded his immediate return to
Ohio. Hayes did return, but Morton
and Conkling both wrote to Hayes
telling him that Grant felt aggrieved
that his administration received no
Endorsement in his letter of acceptance,
and urging him to explain the omis-
sion to Grant. Hayes did write a let

Was unintentional, and eulogizing in

Grant invited him to Long Branch:

out Hayes, by publishing an extract

concerning bets upon elections; but in
order that the gambulous may know
for themselves just what the law does
say, we draw the statute on 'em. Sec
ton % Of the Act of March IL, 1873,
reads as follows:
"Section %. Every person who
makes, offers, or accepts any wager or
bet upon the result OF any election. or
upon the success or failure of any

number of votes to be cast. either in
the aggregate or for any particular can

That's the law. Now interpret to-
suit yourself. You won't need to in
