engaged in business in Pointe Coupee

THE criticisms of jeff. Davis on Gen.
Sherman are liable to create something
of rumpus in army circles and at The
North. 1t is not probable That the officers
of the regular army will take an active
part in discussing the work of Mr. Davis
for the very obvious reason that they car
not do so without subject1ng themselves
to censure for disrespect to superior Of
feer. But all of them who served during
the war know full well that the charges
laid by Mr.. Davis at Sherman's door are
susceptible of positive proof The bru,
tally of the eviction of the citizens of At
lanta and other towns on the line of Sher-
mans march to the sea has never beer
written. Even Mr.. Davis can not write
it, though he has started the entering
wedge that may lead to full exposition
of the celebrated march. Grants refer
ence to zone of Sherman's monuments 6
short distance from Charleston, sperhaps
as expressive as anything that can be
properly written at this time.

He Squeezed EN- YESTERDAY.

IN. Y. Special June ~ Chicago Tribune.]
The markets at the Produce exchange were
to-day without tone. Grain and provisions
still halt, and operators await the controlling
spirit in deals in which nearly the whole list
of speculative articles is held. Armour is still
both the wet and dry nurse of wheat, and his
method of nOurishment, with the weather and
the temper of speculation in which he is an
eXptrt, excel "Old Probs." or "Uncle" Daniel
Drew. He can get up droughts or floods to
order, as he did week before last, when he led
the thirsty Glands" OF Wall street to drink
He can overissue or contract stocks in a way
that would send "Uncle" Daniel to
bed again with his boots on. He
seems now to be letting the market
run down, and the boys drop their long wheat
to get short again, and yet will not let the
market break uHtil his cash wheat, on the way
from Chicago and Milwaukee, gets here and is
sold, before which be may doubtless give the
market and the shorts another squeeze. As it
is, he could not hold up cash spring wheat il
he wished to without buying all that is com
ing into BOWS, HlckOX, Freeman, Hustled,
Hazeltire and Wolf, which is enough to sup
ply all Legitimate wants. He can sell much
June, as the price is SO near that of cash. The
boys will not trade in this option for fear the
wheat may be delivered to them any day. Some
of the Shippers were also selling spring wheat
bought to arrive at much higher prices. The
ocean freight men looked subdued and op-
pressed at the prospect of no better rates for
next Wee6S steamers.

Camille Last Night.

"Camille" has frequently been produced in
st Paul, but never before in black. 1t has
been the custom heretofore to present the
characters in blonde wig. Miss Rose Wood
last night gave the performance in her natural
hair, which was of a decidedly dark hue. The
change was historically for the better, for
there are few French women who can sport a
wealth of blonde hair. Miss Wood is not a
perfect Camille, but she is as nearly perfect
as any actress can be who has not passed
through the experiences that the heroine Of
the play is supposed to have endured.
Miss Wood is a rarely sympathetic actress.
She gave an Interpretation of Camille that has
not been seen in st. Paul for many year-a
type of the Camille that seldom appears on the
stage, but is nevertheless refreshng-free from
grossness and animated by the only control
ling element of the play, love. Miss Wood
acts her part well. She appreciates the idea
of The author, and has given it expression in a
rarely complete manner. Too much praise
cannot be accredited to her for her rendition
of the role.
This evening ''Frou-Frou" will be presented,
and the ability of the company will be guar
anty OF its excellence. In fact Miss Woods
acting last night renders it certain that any
play will be interesting where she assumes the

Green Pays 800 for Shooting Savage-The
Prosecuting Witness Gotten Out of the
Way and Guilty Man Escapes.
In the district court yesterday morning the
sheriff returned special venire of jurors as
issued last Saturday, and the names of whom
appeared in Saturdays issue of the GLOBE.
John R. Green, who pleaded guilty to an as
sault on A. C. Savage, was then arraigned fol
sentence.
Not having anything to say, he was sentenc
! ed to pay fine of 800, or be committed until
paid. The fine was paid and the defendant re-
leased.
The case of the State against John O'Brier
and Frank Flynn was then called. The par
ties were indicted for assaulting Swedt
named August Swanson, and robbing him oil
s57.
The robbery took place on the night of Apri
Oath, and defendant Flynn squealed on O'Brier
| arrest, particulars of which appeared in thu
GLOBE.
Mr.. E. R. Holllngshead and W. w. Erwin ap
peared for O'Brien and H. II. Horton for Flynn
Defendant Flynn asked for separate trial
| whereupon MIR. Eagan asked for Flynn's dis
charge, on the grounds that Swanson coult
| not be found, and that he was the only ma
| terlal Witness Tor Lne STATE.
Counsel for O'Brien objected, but the motor
| was allowed, and Flynn was discharged. HI
| then took the stand and made a clean breast O.
the affair, as previously published.
| Several witnesses were sworn, testifying al
| to the conduct of O'Brlen on meeting thu
Swede in saloon, and to the expression d
Flynn Immediately after the arrest.
| Mr.. Hollinshead addressed the court in be-
| half of the prisoner, asking for his discharge
| on the grounds that the It stimony Of an &C
| complete, when not suhstantiated by Othel
evidence, was insufficient to convict MIR
| Egan opposed the motion to dismiss, allud
| ing to the convincing nature of the testimony
| aud to the inevitable chain OF clrcumstantla
evidence which proved the guilt of O'BrieI
| beyond a peradveniure. He also reminded
| the court that the victim TO the robbery ha(
| been gotten out of the way by agents of thu
| defendant.
| Judge Wilkin said that the statute govern.
| ing the confession of an accomplice admitted
/ of doubt and if not changed it might lead to
| the defeat of Justice. The doubt existed, how
ever, and it must stand in favor of the pris-
Oner.
The jury were then instructed to bring in q
verdict of not guilty and the prisoner was dis.
charged.
This makes the third time that young o..
Brien has been tried for similar crimes, and

resign his place to avoid court martial.
In consideration of his West Point edu-
ucation he was given the colonelcy of an
Illinois regiment at the outbreak of the
war. A series O. accidents gave him
chief command of the army, and he even
tually became chief magistrate of the re-
public. In that position he signalized
himself by calling into the service of the
government a lot of incompetents and
thieves who made the American name a
disgrace. Since his vacation of the ex-
ecutive hair he has been constantly cry

was secured on plea of poverty.
Gen. Grant was never great man,
viewed in either a military. or civic

than Alexander or Napoleon, he would

A LOVELY ROW.

Fighting, Pounding and Shooting Pro-
miscuously Mixed-One Man Likely to
Die.
The free fight among the Conemara squat
tiers on the fiat, near the Lake Superior rail
road shops, an exclusive account of which
was given in yesterdays issue Of the GLOBE,
proved much more serious than at first sup
posed. Owing to the fact that all the parties
were drunk, and that only one or two spoke
English, the exact circumstances of the fight
were very difficult to obtain.
As near as could be learned from the mass
of conflicting evidence yesterday, the affair
happened as follows:
Among the settlers on the fiat are two fam
lilies, named O'Mealey and Green, who occupy
the same shanty. Sunday evening the Greens
had christening, at which they invited quite
number of neIghbors.
The flowing bowl was passed around and by
midnight the party became quite festive. Dur
ing the festivities two of the children present,
mere boys, engaged in a quarrel, the amin us
of which was communicated to the older
heads, all of whom participated in what be.
came red hot dispute.
During the chin music someone hit old man
O'Mealey, the insult being resented by his SOL
Edward. The racket then commenced in dead
earnest, all present taking hand in the fight.
While the row was at its height Is year old
boy named James Fallon went to his shanty
and returned with a revolver.
He stood in the doorway and commenced
firing, one shot taking effect in the abdomen
of an old settler on the fiat named John Nc.
Ginty. When the shooting set in the crowd
scattered. About this time Officers Hanft and
Lynch came up, when terrible sight was pre-
scented.
The elder O'Mealey was found on the floor
laid out for dead. He was terribly pounded
and priest was sent for. Young O'Mealey
was also terribly punished, his face being
mashed to the shape of raw beef. 81
| Thomas Green was also stretched on stht
floor badly smashed up.
The floor was swimming in blood and the
cries of the women were fearful.
McGinty was carried TO his residence neal
| by and DR.. Abbott was summoned.
Five of the men were put under arrest, viz
Mike Hoppigan, Ed. O'Mealey, James Lee
Thomas Green and John Fallon. They wer
before the court yesterday and the hearing
was continued until to-day.
DIR. Abbott describes the wound of McGin
ty as serious. The ball entered the abdomen
on the right side below the ribs. Should IN
| dammatlOn set in it will prove fatal.

GENERAL GRINT.

In a recent interview with CORE
spondent Gen. Grant is reported to have
said:
The press and some people-Gov. Young,
of Ohio, for instanee-seemed to think that l
should abandon the right which every Aneri-
can citizen should exercise to speak his mind
on public concerns and the political affairs of
the country The papers abuse me whenever
I give vent to my views on public matters,
which, however, / shall continue to express
whenever | think proper, just like any other
private citizen. My opinion about this Conk-
ling affair is fully given in the letter | wrote
Jones-Senator Jones of Nevada-as soon as
heard of the way Conkmg was being dealt
with. He has been shamefully treated, sir,
and for no cause whatever that can discover.
Gen. Grant mistakes or misstates the
public grievance against him. No one
objects to his giving vent to his views on
public matters. He has a perfect right
as every citizen has, to approve or dis,
approve of the acts of the President OF
any other official. 1t is to the manner
in which his views are expressed, that
the public dissents. He assumes dicta.
torial airs-gives his opinions with the
manner of Sir Oracle, as if, having spok.
en-. his words would be obeyed as the
commands of one having authority.
Gen. Grant is pulled up with his owr
Importance, as many other men who have
by accident attained high position are
apt to be. He fancies that because he wa!
once the President of the United States
he occupies that position perpetually. Ht
has not the sense which leads to proper
appreciation of his position as private
citizen. He still assumes the airs of s
dictator, and feels aggrieved if he fails tt
receive the recognition that he thinks tt
be his DUE

position to which the American people
can exalt any man. 1t was by mere &C

FIRST the effort was made to prove that
John G.. Thompson, geant-at-arms OF
the House, was a defaulter. The story
was exploded at its inception. Then the
blame Of a supposed defalcation was
shifted to the shoulders of George W.
Adams, clerk of the House. That gentle
man has just come forward with the
papers to prove that his accounts are ali
square, and furthermore, that the only
accounts he had charge of were the
