The same paper says that during
an afflay at a ball, at the residence
of Alfred Hebert, in the lower p0r-
ton of yernilion parish, a few days
ago. pistols were drawn and fired,
and Mr.. Hebert's little child, only
four wears old, was shot through
the head and instantly killed. The
most remarkable part of the state
ment is that the slayer was not ar
rested, though it is not stated that
he escaped. The Meridi0nal, III the
same article, calls for the enforce
ment of the law against carrying
concealed weapons. We think it
is time.

HAYES IMPLICaTED.-The testimony Of
Major Burke, of Louisiana, before the Pot
ter committee more clearly aud deeper i'm
plicates Hayes in the conspiracy to steal the
presidency, anG shows that he was ready to
promise almost anything the Louisiana demo-
Gratis asked, within his means to grant or
surrender, on the sole condition that he
should be counted III at last There was
corrupt bargaining on both siaes-some Of
the New Orleans democrats having agreed to
abandon 1ilden to make sure OF Nichols.
The point OF obstruction with few Of the
radical leaders, was the objection to allow
the democrats the United States senators
from Louisiana They insisted that both
should lie radicals. Senators Howe OF Wis
consiil, Wadleigh, Of New Hampshire, and
West, Of Louisiana, Secretary of War Cam
ercn, and Congressman Frye. OF Maine, were
most obstinate for sustaining Packard as
governor, under all circumstances. Don
Cameron, as secretary af war, Oh one oeca-

FRIEND NEwELL:-We have had quite an
excitement here the last few days, growing out
Of the killing of ?. Whalen, deck-hand On
the steamer Spokane, by Capt. BauShman, last
Sunday There was some fears that persons
who were greatly excited would attempt to
take Capt Baughmen from the Jail and lynch
him. but better judgment prevailed. On We'd
nesday and Thursday there was an eXamlna-
ton before Judge Macarthur, who bound him
over in the sum of five thousand dollars to ap-
pear before the next term Of the circuit court,
to be held at Umatila, where the crime was
committed The bond was given As soon as
the bonds was given it created great excltes
ment and considerable feeling against Judge
Macarthur. On Thursday evening large
number went to the judges residence, hooted
and yelled, and gave him three groans Last
evening a number went through the streets
shouting, with flag, with g 5000 painted on
it, and carried an effigy which they burnt IN
front of the court house and then dispersed
Everything is quiet to-day. There seems to be
considerable feeling against the judge, but am
in hopes all will pass off without any further
demonstration.
This is very unfortunate affair to all L
did all could to quiet the excitement l have
told them to let Capt BaughInan have his trial,
and if found guilty, let him suffer. As soon
as Capt. Baughman was released he went on
board the steamer Mountain QuesE, and the
next morning went TO Portland.
There seems to be no end to candidates for
the senate it is almost impossible 70 tell who
is the coming man. ] do hope they viii select
some capable democrat who will do credit to
the state and the party that elected HIM.

SUNDAY LAW. -T The preachers oi San
Francisco have heen discussing the Sunday
law question. In the course of debate it ap-
peared that there was considerable diversity
of opinion, some OF the speakers thinking
that il was useless to urge the proposition
upon the constitutional convention, while
others contended that every exertion should
he made to secure rigid legislation. 1t is of
course optional with these gentlemen to agi-
tate the matter as much as they please, but
1t may Le worth their while to reflect upon
the fact that there are laws now upon the
statute book which. il strictly enforced,
would put an end to al Sunday bu.!ness.
The fact that these laws are I dead letter is
one which the advocates uf legislation may
ponder with profit. 1t is well established
truth that no law can long be maintained
which runs counter TO public opinion. The
statutes have always provided stern penalties
for murder, bat when a wave OF false senti-
mentalism rolled over the country, and a
public opinion against capital punishment
grew up, it was found that the laws We're
utterly inadequate to prevent the escape OF
the worst criminals from justice. The
preachers blame the police and the law OIL
GERS for not enforcing the Sunday laws at
present bat the real cluse Of The impotence
ii these laws is that pul.lc opinion Is op-
Iosed 10 them.

the season OF the year III which the lnvestl-
CATION was conducted was the hardest IN an
industrial point Of view. The account was
taken in june. Concerning this month the
report says: "It may be claimed that June
was the wrong month in which tc take the

cultural districts laborers were busy then

The report claims To have given the

a view that their figures, partially the result
OF estimates from reliable Ohclals, should
show the industrial cOndi ion at its worst.
An analysis of the statement shows that
the number Of skilled laborers III enforced

unsk!!lci cut OF work were about eight per
soHs in one Thousand, or four ffthS OF one

Massachusetts Is therefore little more than
one and one-iourth per cent of the popula-
tiOn. 1t is not probable that Massachusetts,
has suffered less from business depression
than other manufacturing states, and doubt
less more than states IN which agriculture
is the leading occupation of the people. If
the statistics collected from Massachusetts,
are applied to the whole union, the number
of unemployed would be about COO, 600.
