AN R BROKEN.
A Drunken Cow Punehsr Rides His Horse
Over q Lille Boy.

About seven O'Clock yesterday even
ing a drunken ''cow-puncher," whose
name we are unable to learn, rode his
horse over a little boy seven years of
age, the son Of Mrs. Mary O'Donald,
who lives in a little room in the rear of
Copeland's paint shop, adjoining Terry
q Hunters livery stable. The boy,
when run over, was pushing q baby
carriage on the sidewalk by the corner
Of the paint shop, and this fellow came
up Sixteenth street on his horse ut full
speed. Turning on the sidewalk, his
horse knocked the boy down and stepped
upon his right arm, breaking it just
above tho elbow. Aside from bruising
the boy in several places no other inju-
ries were inflicted. The boy was taken
up and carried into the house and DR..
Barkwell summoned at once, who set
the broken arm, and at last accounts
the child vas resting easy. Z
The "cow-puncher" was Immediately
taken from his horse and Officer Mar
tin lodged him in the calaboose, where
he will await his trial to-day. We
were informed that this party had been
up around Terry & Hunters stable
prior to this time, and was ordered
away, but oon came back with the re-
suit rs above.

WHO DEFEATED THE CONVENTION,

From the last issue of the Clinton
Patriot Democrat we learn that q writer in
the Southern Wdtchmdn printed in the same
parish, has published a communication
against the proposition to call State Con-
vention. One of the arguments advanced by
this anti-conventionist in favor of indorsing
and adhering to the infamous bayonet edict
of 1868 is that, "Warmoth, Leonard and
other Republicans in the late Legislature
clamored for a convention to overthrow the
Nichols government" The absurdity of this
argument and the others advanced by the
correspondent of the Waterman, has been
very clearly exposed by two correspondents
of the Patriot Democrat, A, G., and Nj, Fl
Skipwith.
But these two correspondents seem not to
have been aware that the statement of the cor
respondent of the Waterman above quoted is
utterly without foundation. Mr.. Leonard did
vigorously cooperate with the Conservative
Democrats, and he also advocated with great
vigor and pertinaeity every bill looking to the
repeal of the charters of the lottery and other
monopolies. But it Is not true that Warmoth
and other Republicans clamured for a conven-
ton. On the contrary, Warmoth and every
other Republican, except Mr.. Leonard, were
solidly united against the call for q constitu-
tional convention. With the sole exception
mentioned, the Republicans, led by War
moth, stood by the monopoles, the rings,
the brokers and solidly against the people
In short, the Radicals in the late House of
Representatives, with one exception, were
solid against constitutional convention
solid against the movement against
the monopolies; solid for the ring which run
the State bonds down TO the lowest point,
when they loaded up with them and instituted
q series of measures antagonistic to the pub
Lie interest and designed to drive them I'D to
ninety-five cents. Amongst these measures
were the defeat OF the convention, the pro-
lection Of the lottery, the passage Of the MOI
felt register law and the imposition of an in
come tax, and the extension of the list Of tax
able personal property to an extent which
rendered it an obnoxious inquisitorial system.
A number Of good and true Democrats voted
against the convention; but the fact is ire
futable that the main body of the anti-Con-
ventionists and the monopoly and ring cor
was identical, and that 1t was COM
prised, with the exception Of Leonard, of the |
solid Radical delegation We trust that Mr.. |
okipwith and A. q. will note these facts, and |
through the columns Of our excellent con-
the PatriOt-D Democrat, give the

mored alliance between France, Italy and
Greece to enforce upon the Porte instant and
liberal dealings with Greece, gives cause for
apprehension that the solution of the trouble
some Eastern question is as far off as ever.
On the other hand Lord Beaconsfield as
sures us that the peace Of the continent has
been secured by the treaty of Berlin, and that
England has achieved grand triumph In the
cause Of civilization and Christianity. But
though the disquieting rumors from the East
are said to be discredited in official circles.
and are even denounced as stock iobbinp
canards there is an evident undertone of anx-
iety, which though but slightly manifested as
yet, cannot be wholly disguised. And thus.
just as we were promised sure and lasting
peace, we are again relegated TO an indefinite
period Of uncertainty and suspense.

maker and champion of Sherman was
Swazey, who was charged with the murder
of D. W. Winter, a prominent citizen of West
Feliciana, and got off before packed court,
and who had to leave the parish for instiga-
ting murder and insurrection. He was also
one of the Returning Board witnesses and
made an affidavit which he swore was true,
but which he admitted on REORGANIZATION
did not contain single statement which he
knew of his own knowledge to be true. This
man Is also in the Custom House, reaping the
reward OF his periuries. This is the sort of
testimony upon which the election in
Louisiana was set aside, and upon which
Sherman relies for his vindication What
commentary 1t Is upon the morality of the
Republicans of the North that, while admit
ting these facts, they merely smile and APP
plaud the shrewd villafny of Sherman in
utilizing such riff-raff in the accomplishment
Of his vast designs. The monstrous wicked
ness Of the thing is forgotten in admiration
of the surprising ingenuity of the seoundreI
who planned 1t. The point of honor
Is ingenuity, and not courage, as

ENGLAND AND EGYPT.

In commenting upon Englands acquisition
ofCyprus, the English papers remark that pos
session of this island will enable Great Britain
to thoroughly protect the road to India, via
the Suez Canal, and thus fully insure the safe
ty of its Indian empire almost as well as
would the acquisition of Egypt, which 1--WE
cannot hope to obtain just yet" they say
The English press thus virtually admits that
England longs for Egypt. and that sooner or
later that country also must fall into her
power. Ii the New York papers are to be be-
leVed, the English occupation Of and dominion
over Egypt has already virtually begun.
The present Khedive of Egypt is an extrav-
agant spendthrift, who has run through the
immense resources OF his kingdom in q
very few years; he has piled debts on
debts upon the country until he has
virtually bankrupted it, Most of these
loans-many Of them made on his own credit
were negotiated in London, 80 that England
can, with truth, assert that 1t was more inter-
ested in Egypt than Turkey ITSELF since mill
lions OF English pounds had been lent to that
country which it seemed scarcely probable
will ever be repaid.
Last year, the Khedive admitted his ina
bility to pay interest on this heavy debt, and
asked his creditors for terms; he did not wish
to repudiate it, he said and was perfectly will
ing to agree to any suggestion they could
make. The result, after much debate, was
the appointment Of an English financial COM
mission, to which the control Of the Egyptian
finances was assigned. This commission has
In reality supreme control not only over the
Egyptian finances but over all other Egyp-
tan interests, 80 that England is, through
the commission, the protector and owner of
Egypt, with all the benefits of such protec-
rate, and none of the ills that might accom-
pany formal assumption of responsibility
Egypt is to-day more governed by English
men than even India. All the high posts in
the gift of the government are In the hands of
Englishmen. The Governor Of Soudan is an
Englishman; the fleet is under English con-
troll, while the taxes have all to pass through
the hands Of this Wilson debt commission.
The Khedive theoretically resisted the COM
mission at first; he did not like it at all it
was most unpalatable medicine to him, but he
was finally compelled to yield and to accept
English dictation. The commission, there
fore, collects all the Egyptian taxes and sends
them to England; appoints tax collectors and
officials Of all kinds. BY the agreement with
