ANOTHER BLOODY ARRAY AT TUS-
CARORA

The Elko Independent Of the 23rd inst.
contains the particulars of most shocking
shooting encounter which took place near
Tuscarera few days since. We quote as
follows: "Reden called Mile out of his tent
and said he was going to settle an old grudge
between them, the former being under the
influence of liquor, A desperate fight ensued
continuing until both were exhausted, Redell
returning to his tent. Shortly after, however,
he came back armed with a revolver, and
again called Mile out to finish the fight.
The latter also had revolver but it contained
only one load, and taking the weapon stepped
forth, when Redell fred, the ball striking
Mile in the abdomen and passing clear
through his body. Mile returned the fire
but missed his aim, when hand to hand COM
bat between them ensued, Mile getting his
antagonists pistol and firing over his shoulder
at Redell, who was at his back and holding
him around the waist. After another strug
gle. both fell to the ground, and Mile drop
ped the pistol, but freeing himself, he sprang
to his feet, seized an ak, and with it dashed
out Reddell's brains Mile is suffering in
tense pain from his wound, which it is thought
must prove fatal-in fact he is supposed to
have deceased ere this time"

SOME REPUBLICAN FIRMNESS.

Not all the old time frmness of the Repub-
ican party has evaporated Something of the
ancient resistance to injustice and wrong still
remains in the Senate and is manifest. Though
betrayed by the President who was elected by
their votes, the white and the black Repub-
icans of the South are not to be wholly de-
serted, the Republican power in the Senate
is to intervene between the Southern Repub
licans and the adherents of the Lost Cause
If what appears below be true, we have
party yet Loyalty to those who have the
right of its alliance, and not loyalty to false
President, is the inspiration now manifest in
the Upper House of Congress. The MORNING
APPEAL congratulates it's Republican reader
upon the indications made apparent by the
following statement Under date of Wash
ington, October oath, we are informed that it
is apparent that many of the PRESIDENT nom
nations are not received with great cordially
by the Senate, and there is growing doubt
of the confirmation of many of the most i'm
portant of them. This is especially the case
with those that have been referred to the
Judiciary committee, whose members are gen
orally opposed or Indifferent to the President
Every nomination of a Democrat will, it is
safe to say, be sent back to him. The mem
bers say in defense of their refusal to confirm
them, that the Southern negroes and Repub-
lcans have lost every means of defense and
protection except the federal courts and they
intend to insist that the officers of these
courts be men whose loyalty to the cause of
human freedom cannot be questioned. Mem
bers OF the cabinet say the reason the Presi-
dent did not advise with the members of the
Senate on appointments was that the Sena-
tors were absent, and that the President will
not be disappointed if some of his nominations
were rejected for that cause

Says the Reveille: The sazerac Saloon
famous in the land as the cradle, the nursery
and the headquarters of the Sazerac Lying
club, is being overhauled preparatory to a
thorough repairing, complete painting and
general fixing up. At present it looks like
some banquet hall deserted, but when the
carpenters and painters are through with it,
it will be one of the neatest and cosiest dis
pensatories of liquid refreshments in Austin.
While the repairs to the saloon are in progress
the meetings of the Club will be held in the
Pest House at Clifton.

The Madras famine has left thousands of
children orphans. Most of these will prob
ably come under State care until they grow
up, and it was at first taken for granted that
they would be educated as Christians, but it
has been strongly urged at a public meeting
that this would not be right, ON the ground
that no interference is justifable with the re-
ligion of a child as derived from its deceased
parents.

A Roman Catholic lady we'll known in Lon

SOUND TALK FROM BROTHER CAS-
SIDY.

In the Eureka Sentinel of October Oath we
upon President Hayes and prominent feat
ure of his policy Mr.. Cassidy's conclusions
are manly and greatly to his credit " Mr..
Hayes has been variously estimated by both
persons of both parties admit that he is not
burdened with brains, but claim for him ex-
traordinary goodness of heart and honesty of
purpose. While others, belonging also to both
parties, are unwilling to accord to him either
brains or honesty. The general impression
seems to be that Mr.. Hayes possesses some
very remarkable characteristics, but just what
they are no two persons appear to agree, nor
can any one clearly define his own ideas of
the acting Presidents greatness. There is
one thing, however, about which all must
agree, that thus far his administration has
been characterized by one measure wholly
original. We refer to the order forbidding
all persons who hold Office under the National
Government to take any part in public or po-
ltical affairs. This idea of depriving persons
of the highest and most sacred duty of citi-
zenship, because he happens to hold an Office,
is not only original but is the boldest advance
in the direction of usurpation and centraliza-
ton that has yet been made. 1t can be ex-
planned i'll no other way except to admit that
it is the weakest bunder in the silly and des-
perate effort of weak minded demagogue to
gain popular favor by blow at Office holders
A more fragrant violation of the provisions of
the Constitution and the spirit of American
institutions has never been attempted at any
time since our political organization, yet we
occasionally hear Democrats applaud this most
damnable act of the Executive, because it
happens to strike at Republicans alone
Democrats should be able to rise SO far above
party as to be able at all times to applaud and
support what is right, because right, and to
condemn and denounce what is wrong, be-
cause wrong, without regard to party lines or
differences

Augustus G. Bartlett, who is white, brought
suit in Chicago for divorce from his wife,
who is black. They had been married two
years, and had lived together peaceably; but
he had gradually grown tired of the notoriety
that the contrast in color gave them. His
accusations against her, however, were found
to be groundless, and the case was decided
against him.

DR., Blackwood brought with him ON his re-

months old, that is perfectly tanned and may

only instance within our knowledge where a
wild cat has been so completely domesticated,
and perhaps the success in this case is partly
owing to unusual good temper on the part of
the animal. This is one of litter of three

A book recently published by the Marquis
de Segur Jealous Roman Catholic, relates
that in Rome, when the Pope was seriously
i'll, Mile. Leautard, a philanthropic lady of
Marseilles, resolved to offer up her life in his
place, and fearful of presumption, sought his
permission to do SO. The Pope, after long
silence, placed his hand on her head and
said, "Go, my daughter, and do what the
Spirit of God has suggested to you" Next
day, on receiving the consecrated wafer, she
fervently expressed her desire, was immedi-
ately seized with a sharp pain, and died three
days afterward. The Pope, on learning her
death, exclaimed, $50 soon accepted!' and
NJ, de Segur believes that this accounts for
his prolonged life.
