OF RIs INNioST MIND.
IN. Y. Herald j

Washington. April ii. Madison
Wells, who is here to induce the Presi-
dent to appoint Gen. Anderson 10 the
vacant collectership of New Orleans,
paid visit to Secretary Sherman at she
Treasury Department yesterday, and in
the course OF the interview took occa.
sion to give TGr. Sherman o piece Of
his mind as to the indifference, if not
GOODNESS and cruelty, with which he and
Gen. Anderson had been treated by the
Administration during their recent in
carceration in New Orleans. It is said
that the interview was quite aerimon-
ions, at least on the ex-Caovernor'sp part
When he had reproaehed Secretary
Sherman with having abandoned him
to his enemies, the latter official is rep
resented to have pleaded that he had
done what he could for him in his
troubles.
t.Did we not give you the moral sym
pathy and support of the letter which
Gen. Garfield, Senator Stanley Mat
thews and Gen. White united with me
in writing to you?" asked Mr.. Sherman.
"Oh, hang your letter writing There
were half dozen better things yoa
could have done for us, and as for your
moral sympathy, if it was deep enough
to reach to hell and back, it would not
have taken Gen. Anderson and me out
of Jail, was the'angry response.
t'But what else could we have done
in the matter q queried Mr.. Sherman
s"Oh, If the President had said butG
word to Nichols it would have savedus
all the misery of staying in prison. a
line from Hayes would have done the
business. As for writing letters. yon
might have written two hundred o.
them and they would not have been
worth SO much waste paper" .

for quite while, and was conductedin

cial benefit. What difference does
| it make, any how, whether an Offi-
GERS duties are properly discharged
ornot? Don't the people generally
elect incompetent officers, and are
they not the best judges of what is
best for them? Whocare for com
potency? Let it go to the wall.
Seriously, what the people OF
Louisiana need, more than ever
before, to restore the State, paro-
chial and municipal governments
to purity and usefulness, and
themselves to prosperity, is men;
men who don't want office but whom
the offices do want and want sadly;
men who know how TO discharge
official duty, and who will discharge
it fearlessly, conscientiOusly, thor
oughly, and for the best interests Of
the community; men who do not
need office, but whose ability and
competency are needed by the peo
pie.
Let the people ponder these
things. Let them realize that Off
ces are, or should be, created for
their benefit, and that office holders
ought to be, and should be required
to be, their serUantS. And let them
make the rallying Cry Of the next

Shooting Affair.

lorange (Texas) Tribune, 10Th inst.
a serious shooting affair took
place at the Bank saloon in this
city about 10 o'clock last FRIDAY
night, in which Joe Ferguson, a
raftsman, was killed, and Deputy
Sheriff K. +. Jett received a pain
ful though not dangerous wound
just above the right hip. 1t seems
that Ferguson and several others,
under the influence ofliguor, raised
a row, and being all of them des-
perate men when drinking, the
Deputy summoned a posse to assist
quelling the fuss. While in close
quarters III the saloon one of the
parties 10 the fracas advanced on
the Deputy who, in self defence,
dealt him a blow Overthe head with
his pistol, the weapon firing but
doing no damage. just about this
time another pistol shot, Or perhaps
two fired, but from whose hands no
one seems to know. The Deputy
exclaimed "I am shot" and Fer
guson said 81 am shot, t0o.n One
OF the posse charged Ferguson with
shooting Jett, but he denied it. and
called for the drinks and drank.
notwithstanding a bullethad passed
entirely through his body. The
crowd then stepped out into the
street, when a number of shots
were fired in rapid succession, fou1
of which took effect in Ferguson.

Mr.. Jett thinks he was shot by Fer

WHY SEWELL Was APPOINTED COMMITS

Especial Correspondence n. 0. Democrat)
Washington, April 2. 1873.
One of the most interesting of
the incidents connected with the
log war at this end of the line was
the interview between Acklen and
Schurz, which resulted in the enl-
pioyment of Sewell as commission
er on behalf of Che Louisiana dele
cation in Congress to accompany
Special Agent Adams to Calcasieu.
THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF sCHUaz,
when he found himself checkmutoa
in his high handed measure, And
his man Garter arrested in his mad
career of wholesale outrage aud
matchmaking, was to have the mat
ter ''investigated" under the aus
pices of the department solely,
which meant, in plain English, q
neat job of whitewashing. The
charges preferred against Garter
were Of a character not to be over
looked, and Schurz whose miracu-
lous vanity and absurd self-suffi
ciency had led him to regard him
self as master of the situation by
divine right of his Prussian birth,
or his pretensions as Reformer,
was about equally astonished, cha
grined and scared at the turn things
had taken. Naturally enough, his
first impulse wastopuN Carter out
of the scrape as quietly as possible.
He was abnndantly
WILLING TO QUIT THE WAR
after he saw what a corner he was
in, and his only solicitude was to
make the best retreat be could
with as little damage to his forces
as possible. He hoped, at the
worst, TO get himself and his man
Garter out of the difficulty without
surrendering; and as he was aston
ished at the ease with which he
had been repulsed, ohe was dumb
founded when he discovered that
the representatives of the people
of Louisiana, and particularly the
Representative of the district In
which tCalcasieu is situated, pro-
posed to drive him to the wall by
breaking up his whitewashing
scheme.
Last Friday Mr. AcElen, having
learned overnight of the lkalscmin-
ing programme aforesaid, waited
upon Mr. Sehurz and asked him if
it had been decided, as reported,
to sand a special agent to Caloa-
sieu to investigate the
CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST oARIER?

cided.
