wARLIKE VOYAGE.
A Paving-StOne Towing steamer
BOmbRrded.

The steamer Charles Mcdonald ar
rived here last evening with three
barge-loads Of paving stone from Rose
Clare quarries, on the Ohio, so miles
above Paducah. Her voyage was of a
rather warlike character. 1t was on
Thursday last that the Mcdonald was
bombarded while landing at Rose
Clare. The Cairo Argus Of Friday
last relates the story as follows:
Captain j. S. Mcdonald has a con-
tract with the Howards, of Rose
Glare, to furnish him stone for Mem
phis. Some time ago he sent the j.
s. Mcdonald after three barges that
were ready for her, and the Howards
refused positively to let them go.
Captain Mcdonald telegraphed her to
go and take them. Yesterday she
went and found Howard's men drawn
up in hneOn the barges with shot guns,
under command of Harry Howard,
who threatened to shoot any one who
would make line fast. The anate,
under the captains orders, made
fast to the outside barge, and as he
did so Dutehman fred a shotgun,
but missed him. The steam syphon
was then turned upon the Howards,
which scattered them ashore, and the
Mcdonald backed out with the barge,
She made two trips back for the
other two and got away with all of
them.
The Howard party put good many
shots in the bulk heads, but hurt no
one. AS soon as the firing commenced
the white deck crew scattered, leaving
only the mate and one colored man to
carry out Captain Dowd's orders.s
There was no firing from the boats

sayings and dOings in a most favorable
light. The Herald, however, know
ing the pnblic temper, never exactly
came out for Grant for the presidency
until after the Springfield convention,
Then it announced him as the choice
of the American people, and the man
to be president. All calculations
went awry at Chicago, and Garfield
was nominated. The Herald
Immediately dropped Grant and found
much to admire in the nominee of
the republican party. The latest
number at hand has a long editorial
headed: Spare us a campaign of
calumny." This means, look over
Garfeld's record, condone his Of
fenses and treat him as the equal of
such men as Seymour, against whom
no serious charges can be brought and
maintained. If the republicans are
content to nominate and support a
man who on the small salary of a con-
gressman, since 1863, has grown rich
and whose record will not stand scru-
tiny, the fault is theirs and it is
piece of efrOntory to ask the demo-
Gratis to be silent on the subject. The
nominee must stand upon his record.
Mere abuse and denunciation will not
injure him now or in the future but if
he has been mixed up in jobbing and
peculation, and has abused his official
position, the facts will and should
be used in :the canvass. There are
honest men enough in both parties to
fill all public positions without calling
upon those who figured in the Credit
Mobilier iobbing and other re-
publican schemes to rob the
people and enrich themselves
lt Is not calumnly to tell the
truth, but 1t is crime to suppress it
in a case like this, where the rights
and property interests of fifty millions
OF people are at stake. If Gen. Gar
field has clean white hands, no cal
umny or unsustained assertion will
I
injure him long. We are fully aware
that charges of this kind brought now
will not be noticed seriously by the
republicans, or cause Gen. Garfield
to lose many votes in his party, but If
sustained from the record, as seems
probable, if not already established,
it will have the effect to unite the
democracy more firmly in an effort
to restore and maintain an honest and
constitutional government.

"Mean People in this Town..

One of those rough-clad, big heart
ed miners who come into Santa Fe
occasionally to lay in a supply of grub,
stepped into the postofiice yester-
day afternoon, and seeing in the
window three letters held for post
age, picked one up. and looking at
the address, said in a tone of great
astonishment: Why this letter is
for lady in Denver p " Yes" said
the clerk. "And you are holding it
here!' in a tone of greater astonish-
ment. "Of course" answered the
clerk, don't you see il hasn't any
postage paid?" In tone of utter
contempt for the man who would not
forward a letter to woman, paid or
unpaid, the miner said: Give me
some stamps" 1t was done; he care
fully stuck stamps on all letters in the
window, putting two on that of the
feminine gender to make sure that it
would go all right, and stalked out of
tbe Office with the concluding remark
hurled at the head of the astonished
Pine Sinito: Strikes me there's
some id mean people in this
town."

CHICAGO, June 14.-[t is learned
that last Friday Mrs. Campbell, wife
of James Campbell, farmer living
near Hindsboro, ILL.,, became deranged.
and while her husband was in bed
attempted to dispatch him with an
axe. She succeeded only in badly
dis6guring his face, and causing him
to nearly bleed to death. She then
fed with her bloody weapon, going
toward a neighbor's house for the pur-
pose of killing him also, but she fell
into ditch from exhaustion and was
secured. She was the mother Of
twelve children.

no more disastrous to Grant than was
Garfeld's betrayal of Sherman.
Considering these things and many
others which must be discussed, the
claim Of Garfield to the support of
those who wish wise, intelligent, up
right administration must fall to the
ground. Garfeld's character and his
record alike forbid any expectation of
an economical and clean administra-
ton. Not only will the interests of
the public be sacrificed to the party,
but the interest of the party will be
sacrificed to rings, to cliques and to
personal aggrandizement. The people
will put no visiting statesman in the

The Visiting Statesman.

In morals, as in politics, Mr.. Gar
field must be considered pretender.
He assumes all the virtues that he
lacks, in order to accomplish the ends
at which he aims. He was one of the
visiting statemen, and his conduct
then delighted the most accomplished
of the Louisiana intriguers. That he is
insincere and false to his friends, his
conduct during the past two months
plainly indicates. He was the trusted
leader Of John Sherman. To Mr..
Sherman he owed political allegiance
he had no right to question, but there
were rumors before the meeting Of
the Chicago convention, that he was
willing 60 betray the man who trusted
him. His conduct at the con-
vention confirmed what had only
been surmised before. Had Mr.. Gar
field been out of the question en-
tirely, as was Roscoe Conkling, he
could so have managed the Sherman
forces as to have secured the nomina-
tion for his chief. That wasnot possible
for Blaine, but had not Mr.. Sherman
been betrayed by his friends, had not
the Ohio delegation been weakened
by the influence at work for Garfield,
the nomination would quite likely
have been given to Mr.. Sherman.
Garfield betrayed himself as we'll as

THE Cincinnati convention meets
Tues sday, the 22nd, of June. Now let
the democrats put up strong, unas-
sailabIe ticket, say, for instance, Field
and Morrison, or Seymour and Thur
man, and enter the canvass in an ag-
gressive style, and victory is certain.
We cannot afford to make any mis-
takes, 1t is a very risky business to
take dark horse. 1t the republican

Chicago Garfield and Arthur would
not stand ghost Of a chance. Their
best friends never dreamed that
they would receive the nomination
The republican papers even in
Ohio began to act on the defensive,
and to explain away Garfeld's record
the day after his nomination. The
hurrah about nominating another
Abraham on the spot where Abraham
Aincoln was nominated twenty years
ago does not take with the masses.
Abraham Lincoln was so far man
that he was never even charged with

2hee. In the Wild excitement of the

enemy Of the party would not see ex-

the democracy assembled at Gin
,cinuati next week profit by
the madness and blunders of the
republican party. We have four or
five names of the best and purest men
in the country to choose from, any OF
whom will carry majority Of the
electoral votes. ALI we have to do is
tShold the states carried for Tilden
un6 Hendricks in 1876. This can
easily be done, and perhaps two or
three Other states be gained. 1t will
be a great mistake to go outside of the
few prominent names to be brought
before the Cincinnati convention to
make up ticket. The republicans
have Blundesed into success through
mistakes of the democrats too often
already. 1t is our time now to go in
without laundering.
