large crowd in Kerry Patch, st. Louis.
A bantam game cock made fierce at.
tack upon small bull terrier which had
approached close TO a number of chick
ems that were feeding. at first the dog
snarled and showed his teeth, but did
not attempt to iniure his impudent an
tagonist- The bantam would not be
subdued by such moderate manifesto
tion Of spirit. He flew upon the terriers
back, and sticking his spurs into the
hair to obtain a foothold, apparently,
tried to put out the dogs eyes. Ter
rier then attempted to snap off bantam's
head, but the latter was too quick. Af-
ter iDfiicting some slight wounds, ban
tam few short distance and crew
shrillY. Then he darted back again and
met terrier half way. The terrier was
agile and fighting hard, but was never
able to get bite of his opponent. He
made snap every FIVE or six seconds,
but the willy rooster always escaped in
Jury. The fight lasted some Ave min
ntes, and only once did bantam's life
appear In imminent danger. Bantam
lost some of his feathers In the fight.
Terrier lost one eye and considerable
blood.

A CORRUPT STATESMAN.
A Colored Member of the North Caro-
lima Legislature Commits a For
gerry

RALEIGH, March THE committee Of
investigation in the North Carolina House
of Representatives, composed of three
Democrats and two white Republicans, to-
day reported unanimously, after long In
vestigation. that Watson. .colored, the Repub-
Hcsn member from Edgecombe, obtained
from the Clerk Of the House a certia-
cate OF per diem In favor Of John
Newell, colored Republican, menber
from Blsden, aud forged Newell's
name upon q warrant upon which
money was obtained from the State Treas
ury. Newell discovered on the 18th altimo
that the records showed payment on his
per diem up to date later than he himself
had received. He spoke about the matter,
and Little Page, understanding the case,
subsequently, asked him il he had found the
money. Newell thereupOn took Page
aside and threatened that If he
did not return the money he should
go to the penitentiary. Being alarmed, Page
drew some of his own money and gave it to
Newell, and then told the doorkeeper,
whereupon an investigation was ordered.
Page was shown to have been entirely inno-
cent of any connection with the money, and
the committee traced the forgery to Watson,
the member from Edgseomoe.

DEAD.

The negro Charles Groves mot Yancy
Graves as previously stated)who was shot by
Jack Parker in Wilcox's block day before
yesterday, died about half past three
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Coroner Fitz-
gerald was Immediately called to hold an
inquest, which call he promptly obey
ed. The corpse lay IN the house on
Ohio levee where the wounded
man had been conveyed after
the shooting. A jury of six was sum-
moned, which consisted OF Messrs. l.. II.
Meyers, foreman; John Towers, John
Clancy, VIM. Sexton, Michael Hourigan
and Mark Kane. After viewing the corpse
the jury decided to adjourn until 1880 in
the evening, and in the meantime to gather
what evidence they could concerning the
case. They met at the hour
named in the county court room,
at the court house, where a number of wit
nesses were examined and every point In
the bloody affair fully brought out. After
due delberation the jury decided that de-
ceased came to his death by wound
caused by shot, fired from weapon in
the hand of Jack Parker. The jury further
declared that the said Jack Parker was
justified in the act.
The prisoner was returned to
his cell after having been
examined by the jury and will probably be
given preliminary hearing to-day, when
he will either be discharged from custody
or held to answer to the circuit court.

A COMPLAINT.
(Communi cated.)

1t Is a common occurrence when our
officers are proceeding to the Jail or magis-
trates office with q prisoner for large
crowds OF persons, who have no other OBJ
ject than to crafty their curiosity, to fol-
low them, crowding the sidewalks and i'm
peding the progress of persons pursuing
their Legitimate duties. At the magistrates
office the crowds greatly interfere with the
hearing of cases by their persistent efforts
to press themselves to the front, to crafty
morbid appetite for hearing something
nasty and disagreeablc. Not one of these
men would raise hand to help an officer
IN making an arrest, or to help one in diff
fculty. Yesterday afternoon, at Squire
Robinson's Office occurred q scene hardly
discribabe. Not less than two hundred
persons gathered in and around his office,
standing upon chairs and benches, pressing
so closely upon the squire that had he not
been man of more than ordinary strength
he must have succumbed to the force of the
great weight pressed upon him, but thanks
to vigorous personnel he survived the or

have become an intolerable nuisance and

PLEASE BE HONEST.

The News presumes upon the credulity
of the public and seeks to justify its at
tack upon Mr.. Lnegar in very lame
way. 1t says:
"In referring to Mr.. Linegar's record for
absenteeism as compared with that of Mr.
Black, we but looked at home for facts
rather than to make wholesale charges
without any proof. Proof is what the peo-
pie prefer rather than mere statements"
The News seeks to mislead the public.
II knows that it is in error-has made very
foolish charge in very foolish way and it
now adopts very foolish method to get
out of its predicament We deny that in
"referring to Mr.. Linegar's record for alb
senteeism, in comparison with that of Mr.
Black, it but looked at home for facts"
The truth is. it sought to change the issue
under discussion. The real question
is not, "was Mr.. Linegar at home
oftener than Mr.. Black but,
was Mr.. Linegar guilty of neglecting his
duties at Springfield while he was at home,
as the News charged he wss!' This is the
question under consideration and we wish
to hold the News to 1t. THE BULLETIN
did not deny and does not deny that Mr..
Linegar was at home little ottener than
Mr.. Black. Why should THE BULLETIN
deny thisl Mr.. Linegar was not guilty of
any neglect Of his duties to the public
while he was at home. THE BULLETIN
repeats what it said before, that "the
News knows, il it knows anything, that
Mr.. Linegar was at home during adjourn.
ments, when the machine at Springfield
was stopped by the republican majority.
What difference does it make to the people
whether Mr. Lnegar, or any other legisla-
tor, spends the vacation at home or at
Springfield. Mr.. Linegar is a man Of fam
ily-he has his home here; Mr.. Black is not
aman Of family-his home is wherever his
wardrobe and his dinner table may be. Did
Mr.. Linegar, while at home, neglect the
public's business at Springfield when there
was no business to transact Certainly
not. Upon what, then, does the the News
base its oblique charge Of neglect Of duty
on the part of Mr.. Linegarl
But the News does not believe in "mak-
ing wholesale charges without proof.
Proof is what the people want" Very
well, why does not the News take little
dose of this incidence Why does it not
prove that Mr.. Linegar was guilty of ne
glccting the public business while spend
ing his Sundays at homel But wherefore
ask these questionsi The reason is obvious.
The News knows that the proof would
only reveal its indirect charge against Mr..
Linegar in all its glazing falsity
