Of the parties concerned In the contro-

we prepared to say that the abandonment Of

The Moutanna (Canada) Herald thinks that
1t Is easy enough to explain the suffering and
restitution among the Indians of the plains.
It Is caused by the rapid extinction Of
the buffalo and the inability Of the redskins
to procure food. At two forts on the Cana
dian frontier, an average OF $4,000 buffalo
hides have been shipped each year, but this
year only $4,000 can be procured. The buffalo
will be extinct it claims, within ten years.
It was but a short time ago that buffalo
roamed through Louisiana. Bienvllle shot
one on the site Of Donaldsonville. and the
Ouachita river was 80 named from the herds
OF these animals that grazed along Its banks.
In twenty years they have been driven from
the Mississippi nearly to the Rocky noun
tains; In ten years more they will be gone,
and the Indians will be altogether dependent
on the government for their support.

Senator Cameron has recently found 1t
necessary to explain his position on the preei-
Dental question. He wants it understood
that he has only one choice. He believes
Grant will be nominated on the first ballot at
Chicago, and has never thought for moment
or listened to q suggestion as to what he
would do II Grant was out OF the way, because
such an event was impossible. After this plain
statement Of the Senator's views, speculation
as to the course OF Pennsylvania delegates at
Chicago is SO much time lost. Individuals
may favor Blaine, but since Cameron will
have no one but Grant, 1t Is safe to say that
the delegation will all be found voting for the
told man."

duty at the capital to attend to his own pri-
vate affairs quiet shot the other day. He
had been kept from Washington, he ex-
planned, by the operations of friend (Ral-

Of millions. He hoped soon to have more
leisure to attend to business. II, however,
his constituents were dissatisfied with bis

CHOKING wITH BUTTER.

The old saying, "There are more ways tc
kill dog than choking him to death with
BUTTER" was verified yesterday In the House
Of Representatives to the extent Of proving
that butter can be used to do the choking. The
advocates OF the new city charter bill intro
duced by Hon. f. L. Richardson, Of Orleans,
had by some means succeeded In enlisting Ia
behalf Of that bill a majority Of the country
Representatives, who became 80 excited over 1t
as to vote down the amendments offered by
Mr.. Farmer, which, even they privately ad-
mitted, were not frivolous, but were
eminently meritorious. Their zeal was
stimulated by the ingenious, patient
and able fiIibustering tactics Of about twenty
live Representatives. under the skillful lead
ership of Messrs. Farmer. Oosgrove, Kava-
nagh and Atkins. The result was that the
majority, about sixty members, were wrought
up to such pitch that yesterday they fell cas-
lily into the trap set for them by their willy op-
ponents. Mr.. Atkins, Of Claiborne, who has
shown himself to be of rare judgment and
tact, led OF by motion to adopt the bill as q
whole, Notwithstanding fully one hundred
sections had never been read. Messrs. Cos
grove and Kavanagh made vigorous show
of opposition by resorting to various parlia-
mentary manpuvres. At this stage OF the
battle Mr.. Farmer deserted to the enemy,
"horse, foot and dragons" and voted to sus-
pend the rules and to adopt the bill as q
whole. and himself made the motion to en-
gross the bill and pass 1t to It's third reading
The result of all this was to induce the ma
jority, without further reading. to adopt
the bill as whole and to engross
and pass it to its third reading, and
to lay upon the table motion to re-
consider. The majority did not remember
that one section Of the bill provides that the
city debt shall be refunded at fifty cents on
the dollar and per cent interest. Messrs.
Atkins, Kavanagh, Cosgrove and Farmer are
we'll known as unflinching supporters Of an
honest adjustment Of the city debt, and by
their skillful tactics have actually secured
the recognition In this charter Of the debt
settlement on the above basis, which
will be accepted and approved by the cred
itors Of the city, including the holders Of the
premium bonds. Had the section containing
this provision been duly read the reputation
would certainly have attempted the
adoption Of the anendmentof Mr.. Devereaux,
providing that mo proposition to refund the
city indebtedness at higher rate than thirty
cents on the dollar and per cent interest
would be entertained" and might have &C.
cured It's adoption had the House been irri-
tated by further prolonged filibustering.

ST. PATRIOK's DAY.

For the fret time, perhaps. within the re-
collection of that veraclous individual pop
ularly known as ''the oldest inhabitant," the
ancient festival day dedicated to Ireland's
patron saint has passed by without the usual
outdoor parades and observances. The cause
of this temporary abandonment Of time
honored custom Is, doubtless, familiar to all.
and we presume that there can scarcely be
found to-day any one 80 welded to little
"fleeting show" and momentary self gratid-
cation as to regret the disappointment Of yes
terday, after duly considering the probable
amount OF human misery and suffering that
Is likely to be relieved thereby. There is q
famine grim and gaunt famine-in Ire
land, where people go foodless to bed and
rise In the morning without hope. knowing
not what the day may bring forth,
and in their wretchedness, perhaps, caring as
little. With such an appalling state Of affairs
presented to the Irish-American people In
this country 1t would seem that they could
not do otherwise than to abandon all expen-
edve parades and indulgences and sacredly
devote the money that might have thereby
been expended to the amelioration OF the con-
dition Of their unfortunate kinsmen and coun-
trymen In the fatherland. There are EVIL
denees that the adoption OF this course In
many instances was attended with q severe
struggle. The Irish people are welded to
their customs and traditions, and with many
1t was hard to give up the opportunity OF tes-
ufying their national pride and Of celebrating
the festive day OF their apostle. Others, doubt
less, felt that their generosity would not be re-
stricted because they made proclamation Of
their patriotism, or believed rather that the
thoughts given birth to on tho occasion Of q

owners, for advertising alone, the sum OF
$245 80. Any ordinary advertiser would have
been allowed 25 per cent of from their re9u-

but the auctioneers, under representation
that they are only allowed discount of as
per cent, compel the advertiser to be satisfied
with beggarly rebate Of 1871 per cent. Un-
der the proposed law. which limits the charge
to 70 cents per square for the first insertion
and IS cents per square for every subsequent

HOW TT WORKS,

The Times and the Picay.ne have raised a
great clamor against the Senators who voted
for the bill relative to judicial printing, and
have denounced the act itself az equal In In
fanny to any passed by Radical Legislature.
The persistence with which they have OPP
posed the measure has surprised those per-
sons who are unfamiliar with the workings Of
the present law under which judicial adver-
tisers are feeced In the interest OF the auction
GERS and the newspapers. In order that those
who oppose the proposed law upon the theory
that 1t is oppressive and detrimental to the
interests Of the people, we propose to show
how the present l.w operates as against
those unfortunates who are compelled to sell
their property by auction.
The following is an extract from an account
sales rendered In February last by an auc-
tioneer OF this city. We leave out the names,
but vouch for the accuracy Of the statement:

This morning shortly after one O'Clock some
excitement was caused in the neighborhood OF
18th and streets northwest by the report OF
pistol shots, and In a short time quite crowd
had assembled, when Officer Smith appeared on
the scene and arrested Arthur De Alley and
John Quinlan. 1t is stated that the first named
was returning from ball with girl named
Ollie Davis, and he alleges that when he reached
the place named above Quinlan and Henry Ii.
Cassidy attacked him. and that to defend him.
self he drew his pistol and fired at them, but
without hitting them. At the police station a
charge OF assault with intent to kill was pre-
ferred against De Alley, and QuiDlan and Miss
Davis twho had followed them were held as
witnesses.
In the Police Court, this morning. John Quin-
Ian was charged with an assault and pleaded
guilty, and Ike charge was preferred against
DeAtley. Quinlan and Cassidy testified that
Quinlan struck DeAtley, and the latter drew his
pistol and fired. DeAtley, in his own behalf
testified that Quinlan had insulted him on It'll
street, and on meeting him again Quinlan struck
him and knocked him down, when he fired.
Miss Davis testified that Quinlan knocked De-
Alley down twice and Cassidy jumped On him,
when she attempted to pull him of. Cassidy
was arraigned for an assault On Miss Davis, who
testified that when she pulled Cassidy off he
pushed her down. A fine of 81 was imposed in
this case. Quinlan was fined $40. and the court
intimated that he would dismiss the case against
DeAtley but subsequently, after warning him
against the reckless use OF fire arms held him
under personal bonds to keep the peace, and
continued the case.
