Last Saturday night u shooting affray
occurred OH Palmer's Riverside planta.
ton, in the eighth Justice ward, durin.
which Toby farmer was shot in the head
by Israel Stewart, the ball entering
just above the left eye. Stewart was
arrested and brought to jail by Constable
Richard Smith and Stephen johnson. At
last accounts the wounded man was doing
we'll. Stewart seems to be an obstrep-
erous individual, az he shot and slightly
wounded bis brother-in-law, Frank Will
liams, Oh the Sth of March.
Among the prominent citizens whose
participation in the recent levee conyen-
ton at Baton Rouge made that gathering
one of the finest bodies of men ever assem-
bled in the State, was Mr.. Slas T. Grisa-
more the veteran editor of the Thibodaux
Sentinel and President Of the Police Jury
Of Lafourche parish. Mr.. Grisamore
passed through here on the 14th of May,
OH his way to the Capital, and while
Whiting for the morning train did us tile
honor to spend an hour or two at the
CHIEF Office. We were much pleased to
greet our worthy contrcre, and only re-
GREETED that his visit was Of such short
duration. He was well acquainted with
Donaldsonyille in ante bellum days, and
IN an article describing his trip makes
brief reference to the changes that have
'aken place i'll the town and its popula-
ion during the past twenty years. An

object aimed at, and the soldier bows have
reason to feel grateful for the interest
which the fair ones arc taking in their
welfare. The Sweet Sweepers had their
flrst drill last evening ut Phoenix Hall,
and the aptness which they displayed in
understanding and executing prelilni-
nary movements in the tactics under the
direction Of Capt. Jones and Lieut.. Nolan
shows that they will soon acquire pro-
ticlency that will rival the best efforts Of
their male competitors. Another meet
ing Of the ladies will be held this evening
Tor further drill and organization and to
get the movement we'll under way.
Perhaps we may be able to publish in
our next issue list Of the officers and
members Of this new and interesting
command. In most Of the largo cities
and many of the principal towns of the
country companies of Sweet Sweepers
have been organized, and We are glad
Dohaldsonville will he able to boast q
similar institution. 1t is presumable our
lady soldiers will not confine their efforts
to single entertainment, but will be
willing to appear on other occasions and
lend their aid to the advancement of
other worthy objects.

Last Sunday morning while the Bayou

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Correspondents in
Egypt telegraph that all the military posts
in Cairo are occupied by the British troops.
The city is perfectly safe. Ronbi Pasha
says that Arab Pasha was in bed when the
attack on Tel Ell Kebir began, and was
panic stricken at its suddenness. Abeyd
P&sha was killed in the battle. General
Wood, with the Ramleh troops, will pro-
coed to Kafr-el-Dwar on Sunday, to take
possession Of the rebels camp and receive
their arms. An Italian naval Lieutenant
who, it was supposed, had joined Arab
Pssha has been discovered in a hospital at
Kafr-el-Dwar, suffering from the effects OF
ill-usage. The Egyptian gunners have 4
clean, well-fed look. There is perfect
order in camp. The rebel troops seemed
depressed at to-day's news. Arab officially
declared that our artillery caused them
little or no loss. Between Ismalia and
Zogazig the maize and cotton crops are in
splendid condition. The fellahs have been
working quietly and their occupation was
well-timed. The cotton harvest begins

TuTLY.S RESIGNATION.

George Tuhy, candidate for State
Treasurer on the Republican ticket, is, or
was until a few days since, Cashier and
manager OF the Carson City Savings
Bank. He has recently withdrawn from
his situation in the bank, and is making
the canvass for State Treasurer. It is
apparent to all but the marines
and the hide-bound OF the Republican
party that Mr.. Tufy's resignation of his
place in the savings bank is but an cleo
pioneering dodge. Is there anybody that
doubts but he will resume his Cashier
ship of the bank if elected State Treas
urer? Hardly. 1t has been one Of the
political tricks of schemers Tin both
parties) throughout the United States to
30 manipulate as to have the custodians
of the peoples money, also, at the head
of private banking institutions. No in
telligent reader of the newspapers need
be reminded of the thousand and one
financial disasters that have resulted
therefrom. A word by way Of intima.
ton in these premises is enough. 1t will
be remembered that during the present
administration in Nevada the States
money had to be snatched out Of the
vaults Of the Reno Savings Bank between
two days. The details of this transac.
ton need not be reproduced. A bare
reference to the naked fact is sufficient.
Not that the SENTINEL asit in mind to say
anything d~erogatory Of our present State
Treasurer. The State has lost no money
through him. He has been a good officer.
Had the creditors OF the Reno Savings
Bank beat him in the race for the recov.
cry Of the States coin deposited therein,
we are satisfied that he would have
made the deficit good out of his own
private funds at once. for his means were
ample for the purpose. He is an honest
man, and had he not been a Director in
the Reno Savings Bank the mishap re.
ferred to probably never would have
taken place, and Mr. Crockett's admins
tration as State Treasurer would have
been above criticism. Nor has the SEN
TINEL any disposition to speak i'll Of Mr..
Tuhys "Uncle George" bears an envi-
able reputation for honesty, as does Mr..
Crockett, but the character of the Re.
publican candidate for State Treasurer Is
mt now in n1astiop Mr. TnGv will

tion with the Carson City Savings Bank
Temporarily suspended) will be a heavy
load for him to pack in the present cam
paign, There is nothing of the sort to
handicap Hon. Geo. H. Shepherd, the
Democratic candidate. He will have but
one care, if elected, and that will be the
custody of the States money.

sssPURN THEM WITH THE EN- ID OF
YOUR TOES.''

The attempted bribery of the Star
Route trial jurors has been spoken of by
Judge Wylie in language as forcible as
generally comes from the bench:
"I felt so much indignation that I.was
almost ready to advise the jurymen to
shoot the men on the spot. Scoundrel-
ism of this degree deserves no mercy. If
it is possible to ferret out these scoun-
drels it shall be done. Give them no
quarter. spurn them with the end of
your toes. No baser vermin infest the
earth"
Judge Wylie did not in precise words
tell the jury to kick the would-be
bribers; but his phrase, "Spurn them
with the end of your toes" may pass into
