Two young men with very blue
blood, extremely delicate notions OF
personal honor and dignity, and re-
markably defective judgment, en-
gagged in shooting match at New Or
leans, in the public street, the quar-
rel arising from the circumstance OF
one looking at the other in what was
construed an offensive manner. The
parties exchanged eleven shots, one
of which wounded a lady in the leg,
another making hole in the scalp OF
a gentleman who Glanced to be near
the scene of the ARRAY. The prlncl-
pals in the ridiculous and outrageous
affair escaped injury, but it is to be
hoped they will be placed for season
where they will be unable to endangel
the lives of moro useful members OF

REMOVAL OF THE TROOPS.

On Tuesday last, at the same hour
and under similar circumstances which
attended the withdrawal of the federal
troops from the South Carolina State
House, the soldiers stationed in the
vicinity of the Capitol building in
New Orleans were marched to their
barracks below the city. The COM
munication of President Hayes to the
Secretary of War directing this re-
moyal of troops is also similar TO that
issued in the South Carolina case. As
| matter of general interest at this
time, we append the full text OF the
document, which is dated at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, April 20, and adj
dressed to Hon. Geo. w. McCrary,
Secretary of War:
SIR-Prior to my entering upon the duties
| of the Presidency, there had been stationed,
! by order of my predecessor, in the immediate
vicinity of the building used as State-House
in New Orleans, La, and known as the st.
Louis Hotel. detachment of United States
infantry. Finding them in that place, have
] thought proper to delay decision of the
question of their removal until l could de-
termine whether the condition of affairs was
such as to either require or justify continued
military intervention of the National Gov
eminent in the affairs of the State. In my
opinion there does not now exist in Louisiana
such domestic violence as is contemplated
| by the constitution. rs the ground upon
which the military power of the National
| Government may be invoked for the defence
of the State. The disputes which exist as
to the right of certain claimants to the Chief
! Executive office of that State are to be set
tied and determined not by the Executive
of the United States, bit by such orderly
and peaeeable methods as may be provided
| by the constitution and laws of the State.
! Having the assurance that no resort to VIC
| lence is contemplated, but that, on the con-
! trary. the disputes in question are to be set
| tied by peaceful methods under and i'll ae-
cordance with law, l deem it proper to take
/ action in accordance with the promise an
nounced when | entered upon the duties of
/ the Presidency. You are therefore directed
! to see that the proper orders are issued for
/ the removal of said troops at an early date
! from their present position to such regular
barracks in the vicinity as may be selected
for their occupation r. b. HAYES.

We observe that a number of news
papers still cling to the error of des-
ignating Hon. Stanley Matthews as
the brother in law of President Hayes.
The wife of Mr., Matthews was Miss
Black of Tennessee. and his sister
married DIR. Joseph Webb, a brother
of Mrs. Hayes. Thus the President
and Mr.. Matthews are brothers-in-law
of the same gentlemen, DR.. Webb,
but their relationship to each other is
about as distant as that of the young
lady and gentleman whose grand
snothers snapped cats.

The investigation of circumstances
attending the sudden death of the
late Spanish Consul at New Orleans
has developed the startling suppo-
sition that he did not commit suicide,
as was at first believed, but was foul
" murdered. The verdict rendered
by the Coroner's jury is
That Senior Barrara came to his death from
the effects of cyanide of potassium. taken
unknowingly and accidentally from q bottle
containing Simmons Liver Regulator, a
medicine he was in the habit of taking and
we find that the said poison was placed in
said bottle of medicine by some guilty per-
son or persons at large and unknown to the
jury.
Suspicion has rested upon the vice
consul, who for some time sustained
unpleasant relations with his chief
and is thought to have coveted the
latter's official position. We have
not followed the details of the inves-
tigation with sufficient attention to
determine for ourselves the relative
j strength of the grounds for and against
the suspicion, but it is to be presumed
from the jury's verdict that the pre-
ponderance of superstition was in ia
vor of the suspected party's innocence,

Snow Sheds ofthe Central Pacific Rail.
road.

All have heard of the snow sheds of
the Sierras which house the track of the
Central Pacific railroad. These noun
tains are now nearly all snow covered.
On somo of their peaks perpetual win
ter reigns. On one of tho loftiest, at
an altitude of over 1000 feet, the Cen
tral Pacific crosses.
There must be some protection to the
road from tho immense bodies Of snow
that are encountered, and so snow sheds
are built. There are more than forty
miles of the road in these mountain
tops protected by these snow sheds.
Until passed through them was
not aware of the long stretch they COW
cred. They are built at such points
where the most trouble from snow is
experienced. There are long gaps be-
tween some Of them. They are con-
structed of logs, and are very strong
and substantial. Their roofs are well
supported.
There are two things to be guarded
against-snow slides and fire. These
render it necessary that every precau-
tion should be used for the prevention
of such disasters. 1t was only week
ago that one of these snow sheds was
nearly destroyed by fire.
Watchmen are employed day and
night who go over the road ahead of
all passenger trains, and by means of
the electric signals they report any ac-
cidents which take place to the sheds,
road bed, track or trains. Each watch
man has a district of the road to look
out for, and is on duty twelve hours be-
fore he is relieved. Fire signals and
detonating signals are also used. At
all bridges watchmcn are stationed to
keep sharp lookout. Fire trains and
wrecking trains are in constant readi-
ness at different points to start for the
scene of danger. From one of the high
est of these mountain peaks is lookout
station in the summer, from which an
unobstructed view of eighteen miles OF
the road, where some of The snow sheds
are located, can be seen, and the vigi-
liant telegraph operators posted there
are supplied with powerful telescope,
so that they can detect one of these
snow sheds on fire the moment il breaks
out, and report it at once. Tho mo-
ment fire is reported train from
Truckcc, Summit, or some other point,
with fire pumps and twenty tons of wa
ter on board of cars, speeds without
delay TO the blaze.
