foremost In the prosecution of Repub
llcans; and it is claimed that Hampton
and the men behind him have forfeited
every right to the esteem, confidence
aud forbearance Of honorable men by
the disregard of their word never more
solemnly pledged than to the President
last Spring. Ricabourg, the man sent
BY South Carolina to effect the arrest,
secured bench warrant from Justice
Caitter on Hampton's requisition. He
had some trouble in finding the Sena-
tor, but after hunting about twenty
four hours, the Senator sent word that
he could be found at the office of Coe
Cook, one Of his counsels. Immediate
ly after the formal arrest the Senator
was taken before Justice Humphreys
on an application for writ of habeos
corpus who allowed Mr.. Patterson till
the 18th inst. to make objection to his
rendition. Bail was fixed, and prompt
ly furnished. at $4,000.
SO far as can be picked out from the
official dispatches, it appears that El
Paso county, Texas, is almost wholly
inhabited by Mexicans; that making a
claim of Judge Howard to some salt
lakes in that comfy pretext, the
Mexicans have risen en- naasse, thrown
every American into Jail they could
lay their hands on and their massacre
is considered imminent. They hold
two towns and have terrorized the
whole county. Troops have been sent.
The Secretaries of State and War, at
conference over the matter, agreed that
there was as yet no evidence inculpat-
ing Diaz in the lawless proceedings
But it appears that New Orleans is
much excited and is raising force to
send to the border. Excitement also
runs high in certain circles here; and
the occurrence is regarded as very like
ly to lead to open hostilities, should the
Mexican authorities show a disposition
to support the mob.
From the information received at the
War Department it appears that Gen.
miles overlook the Nez Perces on
Snake Greek and that severe battle
has taken place, the advantage resting
with Miles, who says Joseph has prom
ised to surrender; but he apprehends
it is only to gain time TO send to Sit
ting Bull for help. Our killed is es-
timated at from 20 to 80; wounded
considerably more. Miles reports the
capture of about 900 horses and ponies;
II killed among the Indians and above
40 wounded.

Roll of the House.

The roll Of the Forty-fifth House
as completed ,>stands: Democrats, 152 :,
Republicans, l39, and two omitted
one Republican from Colorado and one
Democrat from Missouri-thus giving
the Democrats Ii majority. The
Louisiana delegation stands four Dem
ocrats anu two Republicans, instead Of.
just the reverse, as the certificates,
claimed to represent. In two districts
where there were Republicans holding
Governor Kellogg's certificates, the
Clerk of the House finds that they are
not in conformity with the law, and he
gives the seats prima facie to Messrs.
Elan and Robertson, Democrats. who
bear the certificates of Governor Mich
oils, which are correct in form. From
Florida there is one Democrats and one
Republican placed on the roll, instead
of two Republicans. The Clerk takes
the revision of the returns made by the
Supreme Court of the State, which
placed Governor Drew in Office, and
recognizes the latters certificates. In
the Missouri case there is no certificate
at hand, owing to legal complications,
and in Colorado the Clerk has followed
the position taken in the last House,
that Bedford was not elected on the day
named by law.

AMONG the peculiar exploits of the
whirligig of time is the Dem ocratic
nomination in New York of Allen G..
Beach, President of the Canal Board
which made Tilden' s great reform neces-
sary in that state, to succeed Bigelow,
chairman of the commission that made
the investigations which unearthed the
frauds. This coming from a party
which has sucn holy horror of frauds
as is shown in the resolutions adopted
at all its state conventions this year.
Il is refreshingly cool performance
and is enough to provoke smile, as we
doubt not it will upon the faces Of
Democrats laying claim to political
honesty and consistency.

Homicide near Alexandria.

On Thursday last there WAS a diff
ficulty between John X. Hanks and
Taylor Dyer, both white, which re-
suited in the death of Dyer. Hanks
came to town and delivered himself
up, had preliminary examination
before Judge Clements. and was re-
leased on bail in the sum of $500.
The facts developed on the trial
were briefly rs follows:
Hanks and Dyer had some words
the night before ON the Hard Times
place, Bayou Robert, and were to
settle it the next morning at day
light. At daylight Dyer hunted
Hanks up with IA double barreled
shot gun and proposed to settle it.
Hanks, without saying anything,
rode off, aud Dyer went to the store
kept 10y Mr.. Moore, between the
Hard Times place, where Mr.. Moore
lived, and the Inglewood place,
where Hanks, was staying.
Some hours afterwards Hanks
rode up to the store and this time
he too had a shotgun. He asked for
Dyer, who was in the back part of
the store, but parties interfered and
Mr.. Moore proposed to Hanks to give
up his gun aud for them to fight it
oft hsticpif. TO this Hanks agreed
and gave up his gun to Mr.. Moore.
About this time Hanks was told
that his wife, hearing OF his diff
Guilty, had tainted, and he got on his
horse and started down towards
Inglewood.
AS he was riding off without his
gun Dyer came out from the back
part of the store, gun in hand
Hanks. after scuiile with "a Mr..
Burgess, who had his gun, got it
again, but he fore he could fire Dyer
shot at him, some of the shot going
through his clothes at the Knee.
Dyer then advanced some steps with
his gun cooked and presented TO Ire
ii second time. when Hanks, vino
had advanced tn a favorable position
fired, the load taking effect in
Dyer's breast and killing him almost
instantly .--LOnisidna Democrat
