via Tucson, Arizona: Marquez ont thanked
the forces which opposed him ut Altar, 100
to his $50. From the Arizona line, about
thirty leagues northwest of Altar. he
marched his forces around to within eight
leagues to the east to a place called Atil.
For four days he maintained himself there
without being discovered by the Government
forces. He sent the latter word that he
would await them three DAYS later if
they desired to attack him. Government
forces under vice-Goy. Don Tiburcio Otero
were composed Of about 400 state troops,
badly armed and disciplined, and few fed
eral companies. A battalion more of the lat
| ter under Col. Garcia were expected fin order
to make an attack. Marquee did not wait to
take these odds. He continued his march
to Magdalena. The regular cavalry and
about 80 volunteers from Altar under
Teadoro Montreal were pressing him at a
ranch called PORTER, about five leagues from
Magdalena. He wheeled about and routed it
completely, losing three killed and several
wounded, among the number being an officer
of the army of reform, as Marquee calls his
band. On the 31st ult. he occupied Magda-
lena. He proclaimed a pronunciamento. He
told the people that Don Porfiro Diaz had
sold Sonora to the Americans, and that his
(Aiarquez's) mission was to saveit. He levied
a forced loan Of 81 200. The evening of the

AT Marshall, Texas, on the 18th, a
shooting ARRAY occurred between r. l.. Jen-

seRger, and the Hon. w. S. Coleman, Rep
resentative in the Legislature, in which the
latter was Killed. Both were prominent cit
liens and until recently on friendly terms.
The cause Of the trouble was an editorial
that appeared in the Messenger containing
personal illusions to Mr.. Coleman of such a
character as, in his judgment, de-
manded summary satisfaction. He first
visited the Messenger office, but did
not find the object OF his search; a few mo-
ments later bota met in the street. Some
words were exchanged, when revolyers were
almost simultaneously drawn and firing
commenced. The first shot on each side
missed; Coleman's second shot struck an
awning post which interviewed between him
and jennings; the latter's second shot
pierced Coleman through the heart, killing
him instantly. Jennings surrendered him.

A Civil.Seryice Call.

The new York World publishes the
following:
Al inclose specimen of the Civll-servfce
reform of the Republican party. am post
master at the crossroads in tho piney woods
OF Alabama. The -perguisites of my Office
amounted to l.6O for the last quarter, which
will devote to any charitable opject, but re-
spectfully decI ne pay one cent of Republic
can blackmail. If his Excellency and the Re
point his or General Grants shrotbcr-in-law
or any other man in my place. w. c.
The specimen was the usual circular
calling for contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund, and though
there was evidently mistake in send
ing.such document to postmaster
whose official perquisi.e s for the last
quarter amounted to only 81 60, yet there
is nodoubtthat most ofthe Central Com
mittee seed will fall in richer soil and
bring forth n more abundant harvest.
As for Mr.. Hayes remarkable Civil
service reform, it has long since been
abandoned b. him and is almost for
gotten by the people. Everybody knows
that, whether fit orunfit, every man who
assisted in the preparation and con-
summation of the centennial fraud
and who did not already have place
at the public erfb-has been provided
with one. No single individual of the
conspiring crew has been turned empty
away. Each tool employed in that dirty
work was duly creased, land there has
not been prayer-meeting the less IN the
White House on account of work or
workmen.
But fearing, we presume, that some
credulous persons might suppose he
still had a lingering respect for solemn
pledges made before and after inaugu-
ration, Mr.. Hayes kindly threw of all
disguise in the Cornell affair. This
gentleman, as our readers will remem-
Der, had been summarily dismissed
from the New York Custom-House on
account of wiliful disobedience and open
defiance of the Civil-service rules and
regulations laid down by the administra-
ton. Conkling, to show his contempt
of the Administration, nominated Cor
nell for Governor of New York.
Straightway. and without much appar-
ent urging, Mr.. Hayes gave Cornell the
whole weight of his influence, personal
ly recommending him to the. Republi-
cans OF that State, thereby materially
aiding his election. Since this amazing
performance even the small boy in the
street laughs when Hayes Civil-service
reform is mentioned, and we fancy
the piney-woods" postmaster in Ala
bama was not greatly surprised by the
Republican call for Civil-service cash.
The President and his party are at one
on this subject, and nothing but the
poverty of his office will prevent Nv.
e." from losing his head.-St. Louis
Republican.

A Brave Word for Northern Democrats.

VIII you deem it out of place if now
say word rs to the Northern Democ
racy? Need l point you to its strrlg-
giles, its contests and sacrifices for the
maintenance of the Constitution and the
rights of the people of the South under
it? have seen the young men of that
party grow up full of ambition, but
strangers to public position, defeated
election after election by the over
whefming majority of the people OF
their section. l have seen social ostra
cism practiced and political prescription
adopted because men would not agree
with the dominant party. We have
had every temptation to abandon the
faith and surrender our convictions, but
the temptations have been spurned
The organization of the Democratic
party has been maintained in every
county and township in the North. Ii
has stood like wall of adamant be-
tween you and your enemies. 1t has
fought them everywhere. Disaster has
not broken our ranks. Defeat has not
demoralized our force. After every
victory for our foes we have rallied and
organized again. We have saved the
old party name from dishonor. We
have preserved the faith, and new
er was the Northern Democracy
SO united, so determined, so def
antas now. Victory is about to be won;
but it cannot be won unless the Democ
racy of the South is with us. For the
sake of Northern Democrats, who have
restored to You since the war the right
of self-government. let no local contests
divide you now. l know. men of Vir-
ginia, you will not abandon the men
who refused to abandon you in the
hours of your defeat and humiliation
and uest,-From Mr.. Hurd Speech
,etorc the Virginia Conservative Con-
vcntion.

-. The Pittsburgh Post thinks i,
nothing strange that Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayes have slept in George Washing
tons bed at Mount Vernon, for Lincoln,
Buchanan and several others have done
the same thing. But Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayes have been sleeping in Samuel J.
Tilden's bed at the White House for
some three years. That is something
nobody else has done.-Boston Post.
Republican journals occasionally
air their Importance by twitting Demo
Gratis rs to inaction of Congress on pro-
viding more definite manner of count
ing the Electoral vote, but when the
subject is brought forward, they grow
nervous and whine about snap judg-
ment. But it does not make the slight

- The way in which Johu Sherman
worked to secure delegates from Mis-
sissippi is the best illustration of Hayes
civil service reform that has come re-
Gently 20 hand. OF the delegates to
the Convention eight were employees of
the Treasury Department. six were
postmasters and route agents and one
was Federal District Attorney. Such
of the Federal employees as were unable
to get into the Convention as delegates
constituted themselves into a. strong
Sherman lobby on the outside. The
wages received by these Sherman men
from the Federal Government amount
to the sum of $4,000 yearlv.-Boston

- The organs want Senator Davis
to name the centralizing man and the
centralizing men and the centralizing
measures they have advocated. 1t is
hardly necessary to descend to particu-
lars when the whole Republican party
has identified itself with GENERALIZATION
in demanding one amendment to the
Constitution which shall give the Fed
eral Government oversight of the relig-
ion of the country, and another which
shall give it control of the schools.
Still less can it be necess lry when a
partisan Republican majority in the Ju-
dieial Department of the Government
has gone as far in the direction of CEN
tralization as was done in the Virginia
and Tennessee 'cases.-DetroI Free

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

A nEART-RENDIEG catastrophe &C.
CURED on Long Island Sound about mid
night on the night of the 18th. The steam
ers Narragansett and Stoningtsn, both of
the Fall River line, the former bound up and
the latter down, came into collision near the
mouth Of the Connecticut River. s. A dense
fog prevailed at the time, and neither boat
was perceived by the other until too late to
avert the impending crash. The bow of the
Stonington penetrated the side Of the Narra-
gansett amidships, displacing her boilers,
and making great breach through which the
water poured in volumes. In fifteen minutes
she had sunk as far as her main deck and
grounded; almost simultaneously fire broke
out from the engine room, and few min
utes later every portion of the vessel above
the WA or line was wrapped in flames. There
were on board the Naragansett, as estimated
by the officers, about 800 passengers; the
passenger list being lost, there is no means of
ascertaining the exact number, but the general
impression is that the above is an under
estimate. Nearly all had retired for the
night, and were aroused from their sleep by
the tremendous crash. The scenes that en-
sued are almost too agonizing for recital.
A few managed to get off safely in the life
boats, but all concur in saying that the life
saving appliances provided by law were
largely unavailable, owing to their imper-
feet condition and the fact that the officers
and crew were completely demoralized
and more intent upon saving their
own lives than in assisting the passengers.
The last to remain on deck were soon driven
by the flames to take the inevitable plunge,
and the water was filled with a living mass
of shricking humanity, struggling for eX-
istence. The boats of the StoninSton were
at once lowered, and the steamers City of
New York and Providence soon came to the
scene and put out all their boats to pick up
the survivors. The list of the saved num-
bers about2 30; the number of the lost is va
riously estimated at from fifty to seventy
five, or even more.
In the Senate, on the 18th, the House
bill appropriating about $4,000 to pay
Commission and Commissioner of
Claims passed. The General Deticicn-
CIV bill was considered at length.
In the House, the resolution for counting
the electoral vote was taken up and several
Republican members spoke against its adop-
ton. The Democrats endeavored to force "A
vote upon the resolution, but the Republic
cans refused to answer at roll call, and thus
left the House without quorum.
MARTIAL law has been proclaimed at
Leadville, Colo by tho Governor, in re-
Spouse to the requests Of large number Of
citizens, and Mai .-Gen. ID. G. Cook has
been placed in command. The menacing at
titude Of the strikers is thought to Justify
this action.

The IncOnstant Moon.

SOME unpatriotic astronomer, trying
to sheer at the well-grounded claims of
the earth to be the boss among
planets, pretends that the moon is 60
ing to the bad. He affects to believe
that large dark heap has lately gath
cred in the center of the moon, and
that she is either going to blow up alto
gethcr or else to brighten up her lin
effectual fires" to such an extent as to
render moonlight trips ON the Hudson
utterly impract cable. The enterpris-
ing telescope Snowman in Madison
Square is so alarmed by this piece of
news that he intends retiring altogether
from business.
1t is all very well for the sun and
other more important planets to make
themselves disagrceable and disiigure
their faces with spots and blemishes,
but the moon is a mare of quite another
color. In far distant ages she was, ac-
cording to the best authorities, floating
about in space without any one to look
after her The earth, finding her in
this pitiable state, took her in tow and
has led her about for centuries. All
that she has now she owes to AS, and it
will be piece of basest in2ratitude on
her part if she attempts to disturb our
summer weather or the high water at
Sandy Hook by any such cccentricity as
that lately displayed by Mars, when he
turned his icy pole toward us.-Ho'tr.
