1t is extremely difficult to ascertain
definitely the number Of actual casual
ties in this city during the fight with
the mob on Thursday, but residents of
the locality and the police on duty dur
ing the day and night in the vicinity
of the Halsted street bridge efeelconident
that the rioters killed could not have
been less than fifty, and the number
wounded was much larger. Members
of the mob were seen rushing to those
who fell, when it was possible, and con-
veying them to places of concealment.
Hence the failure of reporters to learn
their names. A clergyman of that
vicinity, who was an eye witness of the
struggle of Thursday. on glancing at
the list of casualties published in the
papers. remarked: THE reporters
haven't succeeded in getting one quar-
ter of the names of the killed-there
must have heen fifty of the mob slain,
at the lowest calculation" The police
estimate the entire number of mobites
killed and badly hurt during the week
at $50, of whom, as one policeman re-
marks. ''at least ne-half won't do any
more rioting this side of hell. " Chicago

lature. Bonds bearing 5per cent. could
be readily placed, as the credit Of Allie
ghany county stands high in the flnan-
cial market. This is evident from the
fact that 1t is exceedingly difficult for
her to get in the per cent. compro-
mise bonds which are outstanding.
Taking the aggregate liability at S10.-
600, 600, the interest on the bonds at 5
per cent. would be 100000. so that,
to pay the interest on the bonds and
provide sinking fund for the redemp-
tion of the principal, would require the
present rate of taxation for county pur-
poses to be doubled. This is not a
pleasant thing to contemplate, but 1t is
the part of wisdom to look facts square
ly in the face. Those who own property
can see how important 1t is to stay the
hands of those who would apply the
incendiary torch. Pittsburg Commercial

What Plttsburg Will Have TO Bear-A
Number of Suits in Prepapation.


Number Of Suits in Preparation.
Pittsburg has had her Communistic
dance of death and destruction, and
with returning reason calculations are
being made as to the amounts which
will be necessary to pay the piper.
There seems no reason to doubt that
the law covets all the property destroyed
on the "Black Sunday" and although
mated, it is sufficiently appalling even
Sunday last, previous to the destruc-
tion of the Union Depot Hotel, a high
official Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company figured up, at rough esti.
mate, loss of over S5,O0O,OI0. Sub
sequent to that, the Union Depot, the
Pan Handle buildings on Seventh
avenue, the Adams Express Depot, the
elevator and large number Of cars
were destroyed, as also much private
property on Washington avenue.
Eight millions is claimed to be a low
estimate, and many put it at S10,000,-
600. Only one suit has yet been insti-
tuted against the county-tliat Of Mr..
Cohn, u pawnbroker, whose place of
business was broken into and ransacked.
His claim is for $1,000. John Barton.
Esq, representing the proprietors of
lost property, has notified the County
Commissioners of claim for S156, 900.
The papers have not yet been prepared,
but will be ready shortly. Mr.. Stew
art, counsel for one of the Washington
avenue sufferers, will file a pr@cipe to-
day. and ere long these cl..ims will
assume mammoth proportions.
An evening contemporary. forgetting
that no suit for damages can be brought
against the Commonwealth, makes the
declaration that 1.-THE prevailing opinion
is that the losses will lie between the
county and the state" If the county
is liable at all, she will be wholly liable,
and will have to bear the burden alone.
Another evening paper, in alluding to
this question, divides the damages up
among the taxables of the county,
which would be equal to S113 for each
taxable, and adds: ''1t is doubtful
whether this can be collected-very
doubtful-as it would require tax
levy of a per cent. on the present val
uation." Of course this burden could
not be borne in this way, and the
method of discharging 1t would be to

JENNY LIND AT FIFTY-SIY.
A New Bird in the Nightingale's Nest.

A French journal LA Liberte) prints
a curious and interesting letter from
Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale,
now 58 years ofage. written by her at
Dresden, where she now lives, to a
friend in Paris:
II want to speak to you Of my baby.
Well, must tell you that God has
given my dear husband and myself an
adorable little girl, born OH the 3ist of
March last. She is the perfect Image
of health and happiness. She laughs
and crows in Il way to delight all SYM
pathetic hearts. We have given her a
little Katharine among her other names,
but we will call her Jenny, need not
say i'll honor of whom. Our boy Walter
will be 4 years old the 9th of Angus:
next. He is an intelligent child-very
intelligent-very religious, and when
he has been naughty it Is touching to
see the way he prays God to make him
good again-poor little chicken. He
adores me, obeys me, and understand
the child completely, for he is exactly
like myself i'll nature--very impression
able, active, gay, high-tempered, affec-
tionate, shy, good-natGred, quick to
learn, remembering all that he learns,
preferring to the flint st toys horrible
old doll. because it is one with which
he has longest played, caring nothing
about dress, but preferring to be loved
than admired. Is lie mu iical? Not the
least in the world. This is my great
despair. But he is religious, and 1
think he will be Il Christian. AS to
the baby L cannot say much. The
little creature, eats, drinks, laughs,
mLmbles over her Shoes, and 1 have
nothing to say against her character.
My husband is now IN England looking
out for residence, for we intend, on
account of the children, to settle in that
country. Yours atfectionately,

To New Orleans.

Suppose the merchants of New Or
leans put some money into the New
Orleans Pacific Railroad instead of
throwing it away on Tones Bayou :?
a portion of Natchitoches is haul.
ing produce to Shreveport, where the
trade is direct and large with ST.
Lonis, and have been doing it for
some time. Eastern Texas, that once
traded with New Orleans through
Grand Ecore, now goes to st. Ionis
via Shreveport. In other words, Red
River has lost the trade and the rail.
road has gained it. Large bills of
merchandise, shoes, hardware, cloth
ing, whisky. &c., are bought in St..
Louis and Louisville for this market,
when six years ago New Orleans had
it all. Our metropolis had better
build this N. O. Pacific Railroad to
hold her State trade instead of fool
ing with Tones Bayou to catch the
crumbs from Texas.
Jet New Orleans remember that
the northwestern parishes are nearer
Shreveport and through her the the
northern market, than they are to
New Orleans by three hundred miles.

National banks and contracted cur.
rency are arms for the stronger furn-
ished to atf1ict the weak, by the Re-
publican party, and force usurps law
at every step.
All this is governing too much.
1t is easy to see, therefore, where
the evil lies, and where Democracy
wonld correct it. All these class laws
would be swept away. Commerce,
manufacture and agriculture would
be left to nature and natural laws
and a government instituted where
the strong wonld be held in, the
weak protected and all as little gov
erned as possible.
Let the PEOPLE try a season of
Democracy after the sickning era of
Republican rule, and our present
troubles will fade away.
