MEN are sometimes honest when they
least intend it. For instance, the Atlanta
Constitution gives as a reason why Southern
claims should not be paid the fact that such
claims are due only to Southern Union men.
Devotion to the Union is still the unpardon-
able sin with Southern Democrats.

SINCE the appointment of Senator CHRIS

have expressed the same desire. The pres

acted during PIERcE's administration, when
all the offices were at the disposal of the
Democrats The salaries then fixed are
with one or two exceptions, those now pre-.
vailing. There has been no diminution o.
official duties nor decrease in the price o.
living. On the contrary, both have in
creased. But it does not seem to make any

HIP-HIp-BANGi

The recent shooting affray in the
presence of ladies and children, on a
stelmer at our levee about to leave,
greatly strengthens the growing public
sentiment against the habit of carry
ing deadly weapons. Two men who
previously had slight difficulty in
another State, met on boat by chance.
The officers Of the boat could not have
anticipated such a meeting, and the
men, women and children bent upon
business or pleasure little dreamed
that a hostile meeting was about to
take place in their midst. The two
men, full Of whisky aud pistols, met
and suddenly banged away at each
other in the cabin of the boat. The
startled spectators lodged and darted
out of sight as best they could, and
that none of them were shot down in
cold blood cannot be set down to the
credit of the men who popped
away so recklessly at each
other. One of the assailing party got
slightly wounded and took refuge at
the back end Of the boat among the
women and children. Two of the
ladies, with heroic presence of mind,
grappled him to prevent any more
shooting, but he struggled away from
them and held on to his precious pis-
tol, Afterward the other man, who
got in his work little better, went
lack among the ladies and politely
apologized for the slight disturbance
which seven or eight shots had crea-
ted. While whisky was at the bottom
Of the trouble it could not have been
so serious if the men had not been
armed. Both were fixed for any
emergency. The habit of carrying
pistols is entirely unnecessary,
and, besides, is cOwardly and de-
grading. 1t prevails in the North
as we'll as the South, in the Northwest
as well as in Texas. The man who
habitually goes armed depends upon
his weapons to see him out Of Difficult
ties, and will 80 out of his way to

them, they have managed to obtain a
large amount by proxies.

means furnished one bank with sew

encroachment on the lands of the In

with the strong support and apprecia-

The President said "It is certain

PANAMA.
Attempted Revolution Bloody Scenes
Thirty Killed.

PANAMA, April 24.-The Star and
Herald tells story of an attempted
revolution there, A plot to upset the
State government had been concerted
by disaffected politicians, who sought
to purchase some of the officers of the
Colombian Guards on the Isthmus,
and secured some.
The commander of the regiment
becoming cognizant of the facts re-
buked his officers which so incensed
them that Captain 0'Baldish assault
ed the colonel with his sabre and
was shot down by the colonel's son,
aged eighteen, and lieutenant in the
battalion. The row then became gen.
eral and continued until Colonel Caro-
jail and his son, four other officers and
several men were killed and from
eight to ten wounded.
News Of the tragedy was around
town, and the adherents of the gov
ernment at once decided to check an
attempt at revolution, and to punish
the crimes committed in Quartet.
They kept up a fire on the National
barracks from half-past six until near
ly nine o'clock the following morning,
when the troops unconditionally sur
rendered. Thirty killed and as many
wounded is the record of losses. The
city is quiet. Martial law is pro-
claimed.
