The Greeley (Colo.) Tribune states
that the losses of cattle this winter
have been heavy among those confined
to the Platte Valley. but where they
were kept out on the bluffs and sand
hills, the losses were slight, though
many are thin. If we have no bad
spring storms, the cattle interest will
have suffered but little. The same
paper says that the grass is starting
finely on the hills, especially the tall
sand grass. Frost is all out of the
ground, the soil is moist to the depth of
a foot, and plowing is done with the
greatest ease.

Louisiana,a Only Hope.

Washington, March 15.-Southern
Republicans tonight are much discour-
aged. Marcy and Smith the Louisiana
representatives, are willing to concede
nothing except that the result of the
Presidents proposed policy will be the
abandonment of the Republican party
south, and say If the troops are with
drawn and Packard is not recognized
afirmatively, in the next election Lou
isiana will be $4,000 Democratic, and
Republicans votes and organizations
will entirely disappear. They insist
that their entire existence depends on
the recognition of Packard, which now
seems improbable, and the withdrawal
Of the troops from the state house to
the barracks.

Washington, March 15.-The extra
session question wears a new look to-
day. Sherman is understood to have
come to the conclusion that it will not
be prudent to get along until December
without an appropriation for the army,
and his opinion as chief financial officer
of the government has naturally great
weight. The matteris not yet decided,
and will not be till the attorney general
gives his opinion on the legal points in
volved in the army bill, and new cab
met session has been had on the SUBJ
iect.

mission to address the meeting and
said that elf the council did not do
anything for the poor they would take
the matter into their own hands; there
were fine stores along Lackawanna
avenue, and they would help them
selves" (Cheers).
This threat caused great commo-
tion, and Mayor McKeene, rushing
forward. called the speaker to order,
and said that as chief executive officer
of the city he could not permit such
threats. In fearful uproar and with
cries of 1--WE will have bread or blood"
the meeting broke up in wild disorder.

shot dead in his Office, this afternoon.

been rooming in Jones' building this
winter without paying rent and, it is
surmised, this may have caused the
trouble. Pike alleged as the reason for
the killing that Jones seduced his wife,
and he produces confession signed by
his wife to that effect. Mrs. Pike con-
firms her husbands story, but friends
of the deceased declare he was incapa-
BILE of the alleged crime. .All parties
involved are spiritnalists, and the affair
causes considerable excitement. Pike
was held this afternoon without bail to

The following dispatch was received by

There was fighting all day yesterday

patch to President Hayes:
am officially informed that citizens
of Mexico, in connection with citizens
of FL Paso county, Texas, of Mexican
birth, were fighting all day yesterday
in Texas with u detachment o. state
troops who were aiding our civil author
tiles. The Mexican force being too
strong to he repealed by the Texas
troops, and it being impossible to raise
a civil posse from the citizens, who are
nearly all of Mexican blood and SYM
pathy, and having no reinforcements
within seven hundred miles, ask the
aid of such L. S. troops as may be
nearest to the scene of action, to repel
the invasion of our Territory.

The Lie Courteous.

Washington, Dec. 15.-1t seems that
the official entry made in the Senate
proceedings regarding the affair be-
tween Senators Conkling and Gordon
is the first entry of the kind made since
the celebrated affair between Senators
Poindexter and Forsyth, which was
similarly arranged by the agency Of
Henry Clay, over forty years ago. The
immediate cause of tine present trouble
was occasioned by Senator Conkling re-
marking, $50 on with the calendar, {"
while Senator Gordon had the floor.
Gordon considered an insult implied,
and retorted by remarking that Conk-
ling had the Vice President under his
direction. To this Conkling replied:
''If the Senator from Georgia stated
that I was giving orders to the Vice
President he stated what is not true. !"
This led to sharp and angry inter-
change which would have resulted in
a meeting if mutual friends in the Sem
ate had not brought about an under
standing.

Lawlessness in Grand County.

Georgetown, Dec. 15.-Judge Dean,
of Hot Sulphur Springs, Grand county,
arrived here last night and reports that
his court was yesterday broken up by a
mob. a half dozen men entered the
court peaceably, and having arranged
themselves TO suit their purposes, the
ring-leader, said to he the deputy sheriff
elect, began to read what purported to
be ii warrant commanding Judge Dean
to disperse his so-called court and de-
liver up the books and seal. Dean
commanded him To sit down, and
threatened to place him under arrest,
laying his hands on his shoulder. Just
then Dean was struck back of the ear,
and the pretended officer drew a revol-
yer and shot at Dean, the ball passing
close to his head. There was n general
rush, and although several revolvers
were held at his head, Dean succeeded
in locking up the records and seal. He
is on his way to Denver to ask the
Governor to assist in the restoring of
order, as with such Il mob bounding
him he dares rot open court.

IN Placerville, CAL, a week ago
Sunday, a young German named Char
ley Roth committed a dreadful suicide.
Procuring giant-powder cartridge and
two feet of fuse, he retired to his
sleeping-apartment. In a minute or
two there was loud and sharp explo-
sion, distinctly heard several blocks
away, and when people from the street
hurried into the room they found him
lying on the pallet entirely headless,
an immense cavern followed out of the
upper part of his chest, his teeth and
fragments Of the skull scattered in
every direction, and the walls plastered
with bits Of flesh and brains. From
the middle Of the neck upward all was
blown to atoms, not vestige of his
head or face remaining. The presump.
tion is that he lay down upon his pallet
took the end Of the cartridge in his
mouth, connected the fuse with the
cap, and lit it, and deliberately awaited
the explosion. He had been suspected
of insanity for quite while.
