The opinion of M. Hayes that
Conkiing is a monomaniac, and has
made repeated attempts to destroy
the Republican party, reminds me of
Lincoln's reply to a report brought
him by an c%nvious General that
Grant was q drunkard. "Where can

The Bursted Bank and MIR,
Bell.

Chattanooga Times: A Times rcpor-
ter yesterday called on Maj. Cliff TO OBJ
tain an explanation of the action of Mr..
Bell. lie says he made the prOpositi on
merely to avoid litigation. His client
is a very old man, and has but a short
time to live. He has never yet in his
life done anything but in accordance
with the stricteSt honesty and most rig
id integrity, and now, towards the
close of his existence, he willeven more
firmly cling to his principles of justice.
He has had nothing to do with the man
agement of tue bank for many years;
he was not previously consulted rela-
tive to the assignment, o had he been
notified that there was Il deficit. lie
was under the impression that the bank
was prospecting and had sufficient funds
on hand. The allegations in the bill
filed by the creditors are, he says, with
out foundation or cause, and have
deeply wouneG Mr.. Bell. The state
ment that he drew 100000 cash from
the bank a few days before it failed,
and thereby precipitated the failure, is
totally false; he has not drawn a cent
from the bank for six weeks, and at the
time of the failure had $1,000 cash in
its vaults to his credit. Wednesday,
whenia twenty per cent dividend was
paid, he not even claimed his pro rata
of $500, nor does he attend to; he will
let the money remain in the vaults an
molested until all matters have been
AmicnblY AdinsteA.

ConkIing ndThurman Advice

ALBANY, n. Y, June 3.-It has
just been learned that Conkling
and ex Senator Thurman, Of Ohio
have advised that If the pairing
process at any time reduces the
vote in the joint Assembly below
the quorum of 81. the failure to
have "A ballot that day will dis
qualify the present Legislature
from subsequently electing Uni
ted States Senators, and that du-
ty will, in consequence, desolvc
upon the Legislature chosen at
the fall elections. 1t is said That
if the pairing scheme succeeds in
defeating a ballot on any day,
Conkling will make a close per
sonal canvass of the State at the
fall election to secure the cleo
ton of a majority Of members
favorable to his reelection. 1t is
alleged that tifty-four Democrats
have agreed to all form pairs if
possible. Thirty. six Conklingites
have agreed, rumor says, to pair
with thirty six Democrats, taking
seventy-two votes from the full
est vote possible in the joint as
sembly-namely 160-reducing
the joint vote to lightweight to-
tai. 1t is further said that the
democrats will attempt to secure
four more pairs with the anti Cor
nell and Depew Regulars. That
would prevent a quorum and
prevent a ballot. The Regular
leaders are excited, and are tele-
graphing absent Regulars to
break their pairs at all hazards.
a duel was fought in Texas by Alex
ander Shot and John S. Mott. Mott
was shot, and ShOtt was not. In this
case it is better to be Shot than Mott.
There was n rumOr that Mott was not
shot, and ShOtt avows that he shot Mott
which proves either that the shot shot
-NotVj vi wv" was bOC ohot, vi IIl'C NOII
was shot Notwithstanding. Circum-
stancial evidence is not always good.
1t may be made to appear on trial that
the shot Shot shot shot Mott; or, as ac-
cidcnts with firearms are frequent, it
may be possible that the shot Shot shot
shot himself, when the whole affair re-
itselfintO its original elements,
and Shott would be shot, and Mott
would be not. We think, however,
hat the shot Shot shot shot not Shot,
but Mott; anyway, it is hard to tell who
shot.

for one hour to show that the act of the
accused in taking hold Of Wingate's arm
as testified TO by Wingate, constitut ed
such an assault and interference as
came within the purview of the law.
MIR. Sharpley followed in an argument
of about twenty minutes duration, to
the effect that there was rot the slightest
testimony to show CAvanaugh obstruct-
ed Wingate in the performance OF his
duty In any degree.
Mr.. Lore closed for the defence aud
also spoke briefly 10 show the utter
absurdity of the charge that Wingate
was In any manner obstructed in the per

When he concluded at 12.45 O'Clock,

At the afternoon session ,Juryman
John w. Fennimore, empanelIed in

Wingate may have been acting In a
boisterous manner, h0 was none the lie IS
in the discharge of his duty. The
assault was question of fact, for the

MENT.

HARRISBURG, April 12.-When the
bill providing for a constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor in this State
was before the Senate last week it was
referred back to the Committee at the
instance of Senators Arnholt and
Newmyer, who alleged that it was for
the purpose of ameuding it by per-
mitting the use of liquor for religious
purposes. The true inwardness of the
affair came out in Committee when an
attempt was made TO tack on an
amendment reimbursing those who
will lose should the measure be ratified
at the polls This was promptly voted
down and the bill again reported as it
passed the House.

A FATAL SHOT FOR A FALSE
FRIEND.

SHREVEPORT, LA, April 12.-Saml.
M. Thomas, of this city, shot and killed
Hugh III. Dickson yesterday morning, at
his plantation, 10 miles up the river, in
this parish. Dickson was Thomas's
brother-in-law and his confidential
friend, and had chloroformed and as
saulted bis daughter. She married four
months ago and became a mother last
week, when she made an affidavit charc-
ing her uncle with the crime. All the
parties concerned are members Of prom
lnent families. Thomas has surrendered
himself, but his course is too strongly
Endorsed TO give him any trouble.
