Two Missouri editors resolved to take
a shot at each other according to the
code, and accordingly Mr.. L. c. Bennett
Of the Hannibal Courier, and Mr.. James
Hayward of the Herald of that city, re-
paired to the field. The seconds of the
latter were to choose weapons, ETC., fer
the fray. Arriving at the battle ground,
with the fierce contestants glaring at
each other the seconds of Mr.. Hayward
proceeded to unroll an old map. and take
out bunch of base ball bats from which
they offered the fighters their choice.
Bennett felt insulted, and said that he
was a gentleman, and could not consent
to fight his fellow man with ball club.
Then there was no duel. Both are spar
ed to further adorn their profession.

Mr. HAYES vetoed the anLi-Chinese
bill, sending in his veto message to the
House on Saturday. The vote on pass
ing the bill, Notwithstanding the veto,
was 100 for to 95 against, not being two
thirds in favor, the veto kills the bill.
On this measure, party lines were cub
stantialy drawn, the Democrats favoring
and the Republicans opposing it. Mr.
Hayes and others say MT any act to
regulate the immigration of Chinese
would interfere with the BurliDgame
treaty of 1869. This is all pretense. The
bill proposed to regulate immigration,
limiting it to fifteen to each vessel. Has
not the American Congress the power TO
protect our own citiz 4psP Can any trea'
ty deprive Congress Of that powerP I'm
der our laws Chinese cannot naturalize,
and become citizens. The bill proposed
to protect American laboring men from
the curse and disease of Chinese coolies.
The protection" journals generally
favor Cbinese immigration. Do they
call this protecting American laboring
men? Is this the bone Or rat soup the
protectiouists" desire to furnish Amer
ican laborers2 Their aim seems to be
to bring Chinese Coolies into competi-
ton with our own workmen. This is
the dish they have in preparation. We
hope our laboring men will comprehend
the situation, Il is highly important,

alton. We doubt not they will invesli
gate carefully, the condition and circum'
stances Of the bondsmen, consult pronf-
nent citizens, and do the very best for
the county that can be done,
The following article appeared in the
Ohio Statesman Of last Friday afternoon,
and is 80 pertinent to the case that we
insert il here;
The bill to authorize the commission
ers of Stark county TO compromise and
settle the Fsssler deficit of nearly dfty
thousand dollars with the bondsmen is
now in the Senate, and is in the hands
of the finance committee Of that body,
Senator Sherrick, of Stark, being chair.
man. In the House last week, Thurs
day, the committee on new counties and
county affairs, Mr. SeXtro chairman, re-
ported unanimously in favor Of the bill,
and recommended it's passage All at
tempts to amend were voted down, and
the bill passed by vote of 81 yeas TO l3
nays. We understand the measure was
thoroughly Canvassed and considered in
the House, and it would seem was re-
ceived with decided favor. This meas
ure introduces new feature In such ca
ses, as we are not aware Nof any instance
of a defalCation compromised and settled
as provided in this bill. IL seems when
the bond was accepted, several Of the
sureties were in prosperous business and
we're considered individually TO be worth
| from hundred thousand to a quarter OF
million; but financial collapse and
bankruptcy have demonstrated the fal'
lacy OF human calculation. 1t is now
claimed, that, by suit aud judgment few
of the bail can be reached, and at forced
sale but little if anything would be real
lied. Many of the sureties, while they
cannot be reached by legal means, will
pay fair quota to settle the deficit, and
prevent hairassmeut. Tue bill now PEN
d ug is not a fnalily, but merely propos'
es to authorize the commissioners to set
tie with the Fes.Ier sureties at some fig.
ure not less than 80 per cent. 1t is claim
ed, too, that in point of fact, the larger
part of the deficit was passed over from
the first term, and is not justly lien
upon the second term bail. Judging by
the non success of Wayne ard other
counties in similar cases, the settlement
plan seems to u to be commendable, in.
asmuch as Stark county would save ex.
rensive and protracted litigation, and
realize somethinginto the treasury. Ex-
Judge Frease, Cornelius Autman, Geo.
3 Baldwin, A. McGregor, a. Poutus,
aud other gentlemen of Stark cauntyare
in the city in the interest Of the bill.
These gentlemen are undoubtedlyenuLled
to confidence, and their statements are
worthy of full consideration,
Since the above was written the bill
passed the Senate this forenoon by a
vote of 20 for, TO 8 against, and is there
fore now law.

ty-nine churches, 2l,7OO are credited to

ant denominations there is not much
difference in attendance, although the
Methodist churches slightly lead. Other
places would doubtless show a similar
meager attendance compared with pop !.

THE debts now of Archbishop Purcell
are estimated to reach from four to six
million dollars. This shows the great
confidence reposed in him. 1t is claim
ed that bad fnanciering on the part of
his brother, Rev. Edward Purcell, is the
cause of the collapse. Unfortunate in
vestments, however, seem to be largely
the cause, shrinkage in values, real es-
tate and other securities. Most of the
money borrowed of late years was used
to pay interest to previous creditors.

THE POTTER ooMMITTEE

Has made three reports, the majority
report by Potter, the minority by His
cock, and Ben Buffers by himself alone,
probably as interesting as any.
The Potter committee has accomplish
ed vast amount of labor; 1t was in ses-
sion about one hundred days took three
thousand pages of closely printed testi-
mony, and examined over two hundred
witnesses. It had cub committees in
Florida and Louisiana, and held sessions
in Washington, New York and Atlantic
city. II has no doubt probed the Presi-
dental steal as near TO the bottom as it
can be. The testimony points to but
one conclusion, from which is no escape,
and that conclusion is, that the RepuDli-
can party, through it's responsible lead,
ers, forced upon the country a President,
by violence, bribery, forgery and perjury,
and that this President becomes acces-
sorry to the crime, after the fact, If not
before, by rewarding the blacklist of the
criminals engaged in perpetrating the
villainY with important and lucrative Of
fees. This pay roll of infamy takes
from the National treasury yearly near
two hundred thousand dollars, to pur-
chase silence.
This investigation of the Potter COM
mittee reveals a hideous chapter Of fraud
in our political history. The damning
details are on record and before the
public, and will be handed to all future
time. No citizs IN of ordinary intelli'
gence doubts that Samuel ]. Tilden and
Thomas ], Hendricks were the chosen
of the People in 1876 No repetition ol
the villainy will be made, save at the
cost of an appeal to arms and civil war,

TIE House on Friday maintained the
consistency of its record on the subsidy
business, by defeating the John Roach
Brazilian steamship subsidy by a vote
Of l57 nays to SO ayes. 1t passed the
Senate last week by % TO II. There
have been no jobs of this sort approved
by the House since it went under Demo-
cratic control, in December, 1875. The
Roach subsidy scheme was for ten years,
and to take million and a half out of
the treasury.

JEFFERSON DAVIS some months ago.

JEFFERSON DAVIS some months ago,
wrote a manly letter to a Congressman
urging the Mexican pension bill, as
debt due by the nation to the survivors
of the Mexican war, and asking that his
name should not stand as bar to its
passage. He would not claim OF accept
a pension, The Blaines, Hoars' Conk-
lings, ct al, only raised the howl for po-
litical capital and for the purpose of de-
feating the bill. They do not wish to
pension the few Mexican veterans that
remain. They defeated the Mexican
pension bill by skulking behind Jeff
Davis's waterproof cloak. In marked
contrast is the action Of the "Confeder-
ate brigadiers" S" in the House in voting
the arrearage of pensions to the North>
ern soldiers.

The increased demand for iron is an.
other hopeful sign. A steamship arrived
at Perth Amboy on Wednesday, last
week, with the first cargo of iron ore
ever received here from the Mediterra-
mean. 1t is to 60 to the Bethlehem Iron
Works, and will be followed by several
other cargoes. This is regarded as the
beginning Of an important enterprise.

this is in contravention of the treaty.
