DunfermIine,s Danger.

"You all remember the Cooper family
that raised such a sensation two win
ters ago i'm Washington, and stirred the
whole country at the end of the long
session by mixing up the name OF Sena-
tor Ferry with their domestic and inter-
necine wars?" Six people rolled their
eyes and said, Perfectly"
"Well, quite as every one prOphesied,
the sensations of the family are not
nearly exhausted, and they added an
other chapter, but by no means the last
one, to their varied career. After the
fine scandal they succeeded in raising

uOunced that she had hOrsewhipped a

several such fierce statements, he sign

for that sunny port on the Mediterra-

dull and provincial, off the line of travel
and unprOductive of amusement, ex-

and discomfort crept in. The breach

were just bursting into bloom, the

Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, Of Port Even, Ulster

diease involved the whole of his thigll-bone,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, to death as his only

amputate the limb asserting that the opera

David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. W who was

Big Thing For ChobO gan County
A subscriber in Pennsylvania in re-
newing his subscription to the TRIBUNE
for another year, writes us that he had
just returned from visit to Cheboygan
county, and had intended paying our
office visit and renewing in person but
was prevented by the bad weather, and
a severe cold, contracted by riding over
the j. L. q S railroad from Gaylord in a
fresh-scrubbed car, that had no fire in it.
During his visit lac explored and investi-
gated the land in the vicinity of VOL
VERNE pOstOilice, and says he thinks the
, land in that section is all that could be
desired. In order to get better accom-
mOdatiOns to reach home, he says he
walked from Sturgeon river to PetOskey
and in his walk he stopped at place
owned by Mr.. Hancock, and there no
ticed some very fine specimens of yellow
dent corn hanging by the husks in Mr..
Hancocks store room, and upon inquir-
ing If the latter had raised it on his
farm, was told that such was the case
and that the yield was 100 bushel to the
acre of that kind of corn, on new land at
that. The writer adds; II thought moth
ing of 30 bushels of wheat, 200 bushels
, Of potatoes. etc. per acre, but 100 bushels
OF such nice, sound yellow dent corn

KILLED BY BULLDoZERs.

Another political assassination and
such as would have been frequent II
Hancock had been elected, occurred
in those bulldozing districts down in
Louisiana last Thursday. F. L..
Ludeling, son of ex-Chief Justice
Ludeling. was shot and killed and
another young man severely wounded.
The following account of the sad
affair was telegraphed to Washington
by an ex-Congressman:
1t Is a political assassination and
nothing else. Fred. Ludeling and
Frank Dinkgrave are both highly es-
teemed young men, the former recent
ly a graduate Of Yale college. The
place where the shooting occurred
was on the judges plantation at
Monroe, in Ouichita parish, about rs
miles west of Vicksburg, in the cen.
ter of the cotton belt. 1t is an old
difficulty growing out Of political
difference between Judge Ludeling
and Stubbs, who own plantations in
the same parish. Ludeling pays his
man and treats them well, and they
like to work for him. Stubs does
not, and is compelled to employ a
class of desperadoes and Overseers to
keep his men in his employ, as they
will leave him for Ludeling's planta,
ton whenever they have an opportu-
nifty. Some of Stubb's men probably
went to work for Ludeling, and their
overseers went over to Ludeling and
attempted by force to compel the men
to come back. The young men, as
the Judge had frequently done before,
probably defended them and were
attacked by the desperadoes, with
the result stated. There is no infor-
nation that anybody else was hurt,
50 it is probable that the young men
were unarmed. One of Stubs men
is well known as an assassin of color.
ed and white Republicans in former
years, and was tried within a year
for the murder Of an inoffensive
negro and was acquitted with great
honor. There were seven of the
bulldozers employed by Stubs, who
kept in subsection several hundred
negroes. One of them killed Judge
Dlnkgrane, and neither tried nor in
vestigation has ever been had by the
local authorities. Since 1875, over
loo white and colored Republicans
have been killed in Ouichita parish,
and there is no particular fuss made
about it.

SENSITIVE OFFICIALS.

We often hear of men who dis.
like to have their official careers
criticised and are jealous of any in
quiries made into the manner thei
offices are conducted. Of course VT
have none of that kind hereabouts ant.
the comments of our correspondents
making inquiries and explanations do
not disturb the officials to which they
may directly or indirectly allude.
Those officers undoubtedly covet and
solicit criticism and investigation.
All true and faithful officials do and
all who are above sus picion and about
whose skirts no shadow of crooked.
ness fingers, are anxious that light
should be thrown about their acts and
the people made acquainted with the
clean record that surrounds every
move in their official careers. Men
generally accept of office because the
work is congenial or because the
salary connected Herewith is desired;
some, of course, accept of position
because the people desire their ser.
vices and rally to their standard. and
overwhelm them with their suffrages
and crowd as it were official duties
upon them. But no matter how
these honors may come, it neverthe-
less should he the delight of the
faithful and incorruptible incumbent
to have his record discussed and hear
his neighbors remark that he was
doing those duties in the interest of
his constituents, and no derelection
could be charged upon him, and no
reflection stand the test of investiga.
tion or even criticism.
True, men are human and liable to
err men may differ as to questions
of local or public interest-at the
same time public record belongs to
the people, and no fault should be
found if the people discuss it. Off,
cials are but servants of the people
and not as some seem to think, the
people are the servants and the ser.
wants some temporary autocrat and
dictator. If a man employs a ser.
want to perform some duty, he is
expected to perform that duty in
consideration Of the stipend agreed
upon, and If the employee fails in that
duty he is discharged and no questions
asked. If a corporation employs
man and that man is discovered ar.
propriating the corporations funds
or is even suspicioned Of such prac.
tice he is Swallowed at once and if
found unfaithful to his trust his
services are dispensed with, and one
whose record is clear and who will he
faithful to his employer takes his
place.
