Saturday night, between the hours Of
7 and 8 o'clock, while Mr.. John Gordrige
was sitting in his room talking to hie
wife, at his residence in Taylorsport,
Boone County, KY, some unknown par
son fired AT hlm through the window
with q shotgun loaded with bucxshot,
three OF which took effect, killing him
Instantly. The perpetrator must have
meant business, as fifteen bucksnot were
picked out OF the wal just over the mead
OF where the unfortunate man Was sit
ting. His wife gave the alarm to the
neighbo!s, but up to this writing the ras-
cal had nos been arrested.

80 earnestly combatted my claim,
promptly and without hesitation admit
and defend his. The Packard Legis-
lature derived its credentials from the
legal Returning Board, which, unlike
that Of 1873, could be specific and def.
nlte In its promulgati0n of the election,
but as matter OF fact, not for lack OF
knowledge but of choice, excluded men
who had received a majority of votes
cast, as apparent from the officia re-
turns before them, sufficient In number
to destroy a quorum in each House,
thus by the practical disfranchisemen MT
Of the citizens created a Legislature
which could not exist but by the defeat
OF the popular will. The Assembly OF
1873 may have Inadvertently and by the
enforced ignorance of the only tribunal
competent to act, had men on it not en-
titled to sit thereon, but Packard's As
sembly, in it's senate and House, had
members in sufficient numbers to have
broken the quorum In each, who were
put there to the knowledge OF the
Returning Board, not only with
out having received majority
of votes, butsto the exclusion OF other
men who We're well understood to have
been elected. This assembly passed
away in few weeks without leaving
amy evidence OF its existence. A sim
pie living statute, and an election by
sucn body is certified to by Governor
Packard, whose tile was as baseles5
and whose tenure Of Office was as uncer-
tain as his. grand assembly. This consti-
stutes ON It's merits the case of Gov
Kellogg. 1t taxes both my credulity
and my charity to eoncede either
sincerity or consistency to RepubiicaB
Senators who so earnestly opposed my
claim from 1873 10 1875, and who as
promptly and solidly supported the new
Senator from Louisiana. In Withdrawing
from the contest l can not refrain from
expressing my heartfelt gratitude to The
members OF the Senate who have con-
sistently and bgaVely sustained me III
my efforts to secure my rights and repre-
sentallon to the State and people OIL
Louisiana.

that Senator Conkling is making great
efforts to renew his connection of last
winter with certain Eastern Democrats,
and that ne hopes to secure the help of
two, aud possibly four Democratic Sem
ators In his warfare against Mr.. Evarts.
1t Is further stated that in return for the
votes OF those Senators against the New
York nominations Mr. Conkling and his
friends have freely promised nelp to one
faction of the New York Democracy at
Albany next session. 1t ls perhaps
right to say that Senators from New
Jersey are not in any way compromi, ed
In these scandalous rulnors, as their

thorIty used in this connection. A Dom

Eighth Cavalry has at length been heard

three weeks ago Young started on a
scout into Mexico with the view OF
tracing party of cattle thieves and
marauders which had been proving upsn
the TeXans. Some anxiety was felt here
lest the intrepid scout had met with an
oVerp0WerIng force and been driven
westward. After his command had been
out ten days they came upon a band Of
mescalerOs, or dis tillers Of Mescal, en-
camped, having their chief, Alsat, wi h
them. The order was given to attack
the camp at once. The cavalry dashed
in aud were masters OF the situation
after brief and feeble resistance on the
part Of the distillers. Two of the band
were killed and three wounded.
The remainder oil the party were then
disarmed, all their trinkets and clothing
taken from them, and turned adrilt to
go where they chose. All the tents,
with their contents, and the stuff taken
from the men were then collected in a
heap by the soldiers, ana burned, So

SationAl Associated Press to the star.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-The Excise Law
as it came from the hands of the Legis
lalure OF 1857, prevailed in this city yes
lerday, by the help OF the police, more
completely than it has ever before since
that much berated statute received the
approval OF the Chief Magistrate Of the
State.
Mayor Ely believes that as soon as
the Legislature meets it will pass law
which will settle the whole matter, as
he did not see how any body Of sensible
men would refuse to do so. He thought
the situation a good one, and that it was
really testing the law, and would illus-
trate the Importance of carrying out en-
tirely a bad law in order that the peo-
pie might understand how necessary it
was to have something better.
