P1NKsroN,s SECOND HORROR.

This time it is no less o person than
Eliza Pinkston, who sets out to unhorse
our great finance minister. 1t will be
remembered Sherman stood sponsor for

how her husband was butchered, her
babe carved to pieces aud throws in o
lake, and she herself horribly mutilated,
all by b%ulldozing Democrats, who
adopted this method in Louisiana to
carry the State for Tiiden. 1t will also
be recollected she was carried in grand
procession evidently in the last stages
of dissolution, on a sofa. into the pres
enee Of the returning board and visiting
statesmen; that her wounds and bruises
we're exhibited, and her story was
told amid the walls and groans Of
the brethren. Tie Democratic visiting
statesmen Palmer of Illinois, Bigler Of

/ and at FIRST accepted Eliza's narrative as

was lying back in great glee, chucklinQ

THE bankrupt statistics Of New York
city for the last six months, are not very
cheerful reading out, nevertheless, they
furnish some interesting points. The
total liabilities are set down at a little
more than thirty.nine million dollars,
and the assets in round numbers OF ele.
ven millions. This is larger than the
figures for the preceding year. 10 the
amount of liabilities Stockholders and
bankers, as may be expected, lead all
the rest. Their debts are nearly four
million dollars, while the assets are less
than four hundred thousand dollars
Among merchants the grocers we're the
most unfortunate, but their assets wert
nearly one.half the liabilities. Carpen
ters and builders suffered severely, ant
also the boot and shoe trade. Many o
the druggists were unable to End a rem
edy against the hard times and sue
