LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. IA, 1879.
EDITOR LEDGER The reliable man
got we'll on the way last Wednesday
to inevitable distinction. Eli Perkins
occupation is over, and the reliable
man from Little Rock comes to the
front. The sanitary committee will
be surprised to learn that on Wednes-
day last there were 40 new cases of
yellow fever, and 100 deaths in Mem
phis. Ten thousand citizens left the
city on the same day, and a steamer
loaded with refugees from st. Louis
and other points, on learning the
above facts, refused to land, and
put back with her valuable load of
freight to st. Louis.
The above is a few of the reports
that were current on Wednesday, and
were diligently circulated by men
high in authority. All oceans waters
can never wash the stain from the
mantle of Little Rock for her action
in the subject of quarantine. Plum
kett and rule No. 6 are nothing to the
animus and deviltry with which quar-
antlne was adopted and carried out.
But while an extreme stretch of char
ity might see some reason for shotgun
quarantine, how can even the infinite
mercy Of him who died upon the cross
forgive the wholesale lies that
were in circulation on Wednesday.
What is the declaration of all
Memphis, much less rs doctors, when
Little Rock wants to tell a few lies to
injure Memphis trade. On the strength
OF these rumors, many passengers who
had tickets East by way of Memphis,
gave up tickets, and bought tickets to
chattanooga by the Iron Mountain
railroad. Out Of twenty-f five or thirty
people, n man alone had nerve to
come through Memphis on Thursday
following the reliable mans big boast
OF news, and this man, though his des-
tination was Memphis, went on through
to Bartlett, to await advices from
friends here, as to the safety of
visiting Memphis. An all = me--
ciful God may forgive such liars
as the reliable man from Little Rock,
but it will require a wonderful supply
of grace divine for the people of Mem
phis to overlook such low-down stink
ing rivalry. Some time it is my in
tention to write a full history of
quarantine, and, although l have not
one dollar of interest in Memphis,
propose to tell some very unpleasant
truths on men and corporations in and
around Little Rock hat would make
the devil blush. Truly,
WANDFRER

Lieut-General Phillip II. Sheridan, with

city to-day. The General, accompanied by
General Terry, commanding this department,
purpose making tour of inspection to the
military posts on the upper Missouri river.
Several changes are contemplated, among which
may be the abandonment of some posts now
garrisoned by troops. This is particularly so
in the cases of Fort Sully and the camp at the
Cheyenne Agency. These garrisons are in com
parative close proximity to one another though
on the opposite sides of the Missouri river, and
one will doubtless be abandoned. There may
be other changes, probably not 80 extensive,
but the necessity of them will be demonstrated
by this tour. 1t il understood that Gen. Sher.

THE GALE-LEIB BUSINESS.

The Entertainment Last Night-Mr. Gale
Makes a Speech and Sails into the Cor
don Pinaforo.
A few minutes before the curtain rose for
the performance of Fl. M. 8. Pinafore, at the
Opera House, last night, the audience was sur
prised by the appearance in front of the stage,
of Mr.. H. A. Gale, VIII o proceeded to state the
reasons why it was necessary to explain
certain deficiencies before the pres
entation of the opera. Mr.. Gale first apollo
gized for the absence Of an orchestra, lain
ing that he had arranged with Professor Seibert
a few days since to furnish the music for the
occasion, that gentleman having had. he
supposed an understanding with Mr.. Gordon,
whereby he was to have the score used at the
Pinafore presentations in this city last week.
MIR. Gale then stated that he had received q
dispatch from Prof. Ssibert, Friday, announce
ing that Mr.. Gordon refused to let him have
the score, whereupon Mr.. Gale telegraphed to
Chicago for the music, which, owing to de-
lay, did not arrive in time for the performance.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon note was
received from Mr.. Gordon stating that the
company could have the use of the music
which was received too late, however, to notify
the orchestra, the members of which could not
be gotten together, the offer being returned
with thanks. Mr.. Gale then adverted to the
Gordon card, published last Tuesday, charging
the company with endeavoring to anticipate
the Davidson-Buckelew benefit. In explana
tion of this change, Mr.. Gale stated that up t.
the first of the week he was not aware that sucl
performance was contemplated, in proof O
which he cited the fact of Mr.. Davidsons pass
ing Saturday night at his residence in Mime
apolis, but he had not heard at that time of an,
such project.
After Mr.. Gale had retired the curtain ros
to a large and appreciatiye audience, and, con
- :la~ 80 ~
| tainment is entitled to rank as most agree
able and decided success.
| The different vocal requirements of the lead
ing female roles were executed in highl,
artistic and captivating manner, and the sur
passing quality of several of the principa
voices would require columns of comment t
render adequate justice, while comparisons ar
manifestly uncalled for.
The male characters were acted in highl
| finished and satisfactory manner, and the woes
| requirements of the leading roles were sang
a manner that exacted deserved and spor
taneous recognition from the audience, wh
encored the numbers to the echo.
After the performance the company adjourne
to Booths refreshment parlor, oppOsite th
Opera House, where the performers were re
galed with ice cream and other refreshment
several impromptu speeches being made, whic
were happily delivered and hearth
encored. The party started for hon
at midnight, everybody being in the best
spirits concerning tho cordial manner in whic
the performance had been received, and tt
successful way in which it had terminated.

4 STRANGER IN MINNEAPOLIS.
He Don't Know the Town and is Taken
In and Done for by BURGLARS.

He Don't Know the Town and is Taken
in and Done for by Burglars.
Sergeant West. of the Minneapolis police, &C.
companied by M. Wilk, of the same place.
called at police headquarters yesterday morning
early to recount robbery which occurred in
that city the night before. Mr.. M. Wilk and
brother, 81. Wilk, were the victims to the ex-
tent of quite lot of valuables. They
do combined jewelry and gents furnishing
business at No. 227 Washington avenue.
Thursday night their store was entered from
the rear; window pane in the back door hav-
ing been broken, entrance gained and pro-
miscuous robbery followed. The burglars had
it all their own way unmolested
and helped themselves bountifully to the con-
tents of the store, not being choice as to quail
ity, but prodigal in quantity. When the Wilk
brothers got to their store, yesterday morning
at o'clock, they found they were losers of the
following big lot of articles:
Twelve sets of ladies iewelry ten bracelets;
| fifteen sets coral jewelry; six nickel plated
watch chains; twelve sets of shirt studs; twelve
pairs sleeve buttons; two pairs of pants; three
| dozen silk handkerchiefs; one dozen figured
meerschaum cigar holders; half dozen same,
plain; six meerschaum pipes; twelve white and
colcred shirts; one dozen silk neckties and va
| rious other minor articles. Fortunately the most
valuable jewelry was placed in q safe. which
the burglarAdid not attempt to open. The
money drawer was broken into, but nothing
| obtained.
Suspicion is directed to certain parties.
whose accurate description Sergeant West left
with the chief of police here. Sergeant West
believes the operatives were rough workers and
new to the business. They didn't show the
work of experts in getting in, and that they
were new at the business was shown by the
goods they stole, when others more valuable
were just as handy. In other words, there are
good reasons for believing that the burglars be-
long either to the tramp fraternity are are
home folks venturing in new line of business
for the first time. Anticipating that the
thieves might try to dispose of their plunder
here, Sergeant West, under Capt. Clarke's
guidance, made tour of inspection, but dis
covered nothing.
Mr.. Wilk is 80 Mortified at the fact of the rob-
berry that he can't reckon up in dollars and
cents how much he has lost. But it's enough to
make him sick, and he couples this condition
of mind by saying he only came to Minneap-
oils q few weeks ago. Before he'd been in
the oil regions of Pennsylvania, and such a
thing had never happened to him even in that
lawless section. By this time Mr.. Wilk realizes
the fact that he should have settled in st.
Paul, where the police don't allow such things
to occur.

Mr.. p. 81. Wood endorsed all that was said

the resolution, as it had the appearance of

Mr.. Hollinshead explained that Mr.. Moore

thermore, it was the unanimous wish of the

Judge Stephenson supported the resolu-
ton. According to the statement of the del
egation from that precinct, there was in
fact no nomination for alderman. In view
of the wishes of the delegation, he wanted to
see the resolution adopted.
Mr.. Uline thought If there was any vacan-
cy it should be filled, as was customary, by
the city committee, when appointed.
MIR. Hollinshead stated that it was GUS
tomary to fill vacancies occurring after the
adjournment of the convention Here was
a nomination which was presented for the

TRYING TO PROVOKE INDIAN HOsTHTTIEs.
WARRINGTON, April 24.-The interior depart
ment entirely discredits and ridicules tho story
of Salusken, the Indian prisoner, telegraphed
from Washington Territory, relative to the al
legged treachery of Chief Moses last summer.
The department has the amplest evidence from
civil and military officers of the entire falsity
of the statement, which is attributed by the
department to a desire on the part of the
Washington to provoke hostilities, in order to
lead to the expenditure of money by the gov
srnment and produce as they express it, o
showing of greenbacks. The Indian bureau
some time since received advices from re-
sponsible party that every effort would be
made by certain white men in this locality to
provoke Indian hostilities with this end in
vlval of an old canard of last summer, investi-
gated and disproved at the time.

considered at special meeting of the commit.

CONTINUATION OF WEDNESDAYS SESSION.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-At 10 to-day the
House, resuming the Wednesday session, went
into committee Of the whole and continued
discussion of the legislative appropriation bill.
Mr.. Scales supported the proposed repeal on
the ground that the laws they stood
were unconstitutional and dangerous to the
liberties of the people. The Democratic party
was right upon this question and he would, if
he could, write upon the sky itself that all
men might see it, that that party stood up
to-day
IN FAVOR OF FREE ELECTIONS.
Mr.. Davis, of North Carolina. supported the
position the Democrats had taken. They said
the army should not be used as a political ma
chine for the benefit of the Republican party,
while that party said that unless the army
could be so used the army must starve. That
was the only issue presented. Alluding to the
speech of Mr.. Burrows, in which he inquired
how long it would be before slavery was re-es.
tablished, Mr.. Davis said that it would be at.
tempted as soon as the Republican party found
it to be tolls interests to establish it, but when
that time came the South would stand up and
say, ''This is one of the things you cannot do y
Mr.. Cobb argued there was no constitutional
power upon which election laws could rest.
Mr.. Gillette said that he did not consider that
there was any pressing necessity for placing the
proposed legislation the appropriation bill
and he should therefore vote to strike it out
but if it was retained, he would vote for pas
