life are MN. Mel, Abliatucci, Haentjus
and the Duke De Padoue. The Bonapartist

defeat from which It will take a long time
to recover. According to independent
estimates, the Reactionaries in the new
Chamber will, even after the second
ballots, be below one hundred in number.
In the Department of Lot, the two sitting
Bonapartists were reelected at Cahors In
spite of the recent brilliant reception to M.
Gambetta there. At Versailles. MN. Pain
and lie Pelliter were defeated. Among the
candidates of note who were elected are NJ.

partment of the Vosges; M. Albert DeMun,
Rovalist, in the Department Of Morbihan.

elected: NJ. De Bsudry D'Asson (Legiti-
mist) in the Department Of Vendee; NJ.

The Mayor of Belleville declares that NJ.
Gsmbetta has been elected in both divisions,
but LIE Temps says: "We learn at the last
moment that there is a question Of some
informality In regard to the voting In the
Second division, which will be submitted to
a committee of scrutinizers."
LONDON, August 20 The Paris cores
pondent of the Times points out that NJ
Gambetta's popularity has been undermined
of late years, owing to his keeping aloOf
from office. Several candidates whom he
recommended for election have been de-
feated.
The Berlin correspondent of the Times
says: "The fact that M. Gambetta only OBJ
tanned a small majority at Bellevile has
caused some satisfaction here"

TROUBLE IN TEXAS.
A SERIES OF TRAGIC EVENTS.
The Sequences OF a SeOundrel's Re-
venge-Ambushes. Murders and
Lynehings-Attempt 60 Burn the
Town of Orange-QuIet Not Vet
Restored.

ST. LOUIS, August 23.-Houston, Texas,
specials report bloody tragedies which oc-
CURED at Orange during the past week,
causing intense excitement along the Texas
and New Orleans Railroad, and fears are en-
tertsined that something worse will follow.
The present condition Of affairs grew out OF
a difficulty which occurred three weeks ago
between o. L. De1ano, noted
desperate, and Detective Wood,
in which Delano was seriously shot. Wood
escaped, and Charles Delano, brother of
o. L. Delano, accused Sheriff Geo. Michael
Of aiding IN the escape. and avowed that he
soon would get even with him. With this
view he concocted q plan to ssssssinate
Michael, and was aided by Doug. Harris
and two negroes, Sam and Bob Saxon.
The plan failed, but they succeeded in Sc
riously wounding the Sheriff by leading
him into an ambush. The citizens became
greatly incensed at these proceedings, and
one hundred of them congregated, captured
four of the negroes and shot them. Bob
Saxon was also captured, and after extort-
ing a confession from him, in which
he reviewed the plot to kill
the Sheriff, he was hanged
to tree. Another negro was arrested and
hanged, and Chas. Delano was captured
and placed in jail. A hundred armed men
secured the neighboriug swamps for others
of the gang. A guard was placed around
the Jail the night before last to
guard Delano. Sam Saxon, one of
the leaders of the desperadoes,
who was wounded, came into Orange
yesterday and surrendered to the guard at
the jail. At 8 o'clock last night the guard
was dfsbanded and went home An heur
later large body of men surrounded the
jail, and the deputy sheriff being unable to
hold it surrendered, and Sam Saxon and
another negro Of the gang were taken out
and their bodies riddled with buckshot.
Before dying Saxon made confession de-
failing some Of the operations, one Of which
was an attempt to burn the town of Orange.

THE APACHE TROUBLES.
Report of Another Fight with the
Marauders.

DENVER, August pa Santa Fe special
detailed account of fight in Lake Valley, a
few days ago, is substantially as follows:
Lieutenant Smith and a force of twenty
men, who had been on the trail several
days, by a forced march overlook the In
disns. The latter were strong in numbers.
Smith attacked them, expecting reinforce
ments. His men were falling rapidly,
when, at critical moment, George DAILY,
with twenty miners, joined Smith and
routed the Indians, who carried off their
dead, but their loss is known to be large
The whites lost George DAILY, Lieutenant
Smith an& four men killed and eleven
wounded. All with the exception Of DAILY,
it is expected, were soldiers. Lieutenant
Dimmick with a company and Lieutenant
Taylor with twenty Indian scouts
pursued the Indians, and it is
thought have overtaken them ere
this. The hOstiles are supposed to be near
the Mexican line. A company of cavalry
has been ordered to guard the HillsborO and
Lake Valley settlements, with the view Of
cutting off Nana's band until the troops
overtake them"

PRESIDENT GARFIELD.
The Present Aspect OF His Case and
the Treatment of It.

The New York Medical Record Of
Saturday, in reviewing the history of
President Garfeld's case, says:
cat the present writing the gravest
anxiety exists regarding the issue. AT
best, the condition is exceedingly critH-
cal. and gives rise to the possibility of a
speedily fatal issue unless the patient
quickly rallies The unfavorable turn
Is, no doubt. due to the long continued
weakness of the patient. This is cei'-
tainly the worst phase that the case could
assume at the present time. In fact. il
would be difficult to name a more dan
gerous complication under the
present circumstances, or one capable of
bringing about more Immediately serious
consequences. From all accounts the
state Of the wound has nothing to dc.
except in a very indirect way, with the
patients prostrated condition; nor does
it appear that there are any symptoms CT
septic@mia or of py@mia, save such IS
have existed in the imaginations of those
who have not had an opportunity Of
seeing the case or of weighing the signi-
ficance of the symptoms at the bedside.
Whatever may be the result of the case,
it is due to the gentlemen in charge to
say that the treatment has been skillfI1
from the start, and that every means
has been used to mitigate the sufferinqs
of the patient, and to ward off every
possible danger from all threatened COM
plications.
Gas might have been expected, the
management of the case has been open
to much criticism by the secular press,
1t is to the credit of the profession, and
especially of the gentlemen in charge of
the case, that so little can be said con-
cerning what might have been done and
what was not DONE Despite the journal
istic prescribers in some of our leading
dailies, the people have continued 10
maintain a confidence in the attending
and consulting surgeons which is as
gratifying as il is necessary. There
seems very justly to be but one senti-
ment entertained both by the profession
and the public regarding the judiciolls
manner in which this case has been
treated from the beginning.

to press. an improvement in the Presi-
dent. He has had no more nausea Or
vomiting. and has retained the enemata.
The pulse has dropped to 104; respira-
tion, II; temperature, 9S.S. The wound
is reported to have been healing rapidly,
and to consist now of but four inches of
suppurating tract.
"While fear of py@mia has been most
justifiable, the assertions that he has it,
or has had it. are now plainly without
support. If. as is asserted, the wound
has healed from the bottom, and the
bullet is harmless. the present symptoms
represent only extreme debility from in
nutrition. The nervous system has a
weakened hold on the heart. The pa
tient has the nausea and pulse of starva-
tion. This is fair inference from the
official data given"

PRACTICALLY NO CHANGE.
2:30 P. NJ. Unofficial Bulletin. From
the best information obtainable at this
hour, including the statements of three of
the attending surgeons, it may be said that
the President has not changed In any ma

affords rational ground for feeling of en-

prevailed yesterday with regard to the fu-
ture course of the glandular Inflammation
prevails to-day, and there is still the same
question whether the patient can take nOur-
ishment enough to sustain his strength
through the present critical stage of his
case. The indications are that he can, but
until there is a more decided change than
has yet occurred, confident predictions
must be withheld. At this hour 1t can only
be said that the patient is certainly nc
worse in any respect, and that his ability to
take nourishment is steadily increasing.
SOME IMPROVEMENT.
$50 P. M. EOficial Bulletin. The Presi
dent has continued to take liquid food by
the mouth at regular intervals during the
day, and has had no recurrence of gastric

unchanged. In other respects his symp-
