The Philadelphia Press has won a
notable victory in its battle against the
corrupt detective force of that city, and
has shown conclusively the power of an
honest public journal to crush rascality,
however strongly intrenched. Last week
Mayor King dismissed all the detectives
denounced by the Press and appointed
better men in their places. The Mayor
was deceived as to the character of two
of the new appointees, against whom Sc
rious charges have been made, but they
will not long keep their places Henry
Weyl, one of the old force, is now EN-
ployed by District Attorney Graham
and the demand is urgent for his dis
missal Assuredly better times are at
hand, if reputable newspapers are en-
dorsed by public officials in their efforts
TO hight public wrongs The Press has
played a trump card.

pSB'When Columbia county farmers can
buy true Ammoniated Super-Phosphate,
made chiefly from Slaughter House Meat
and Bone, for S25 per ton at the Railroad
Depots, from dealers,it is folly to pay out
money for the old fashioned High Cost
Fertilizers, which other manufacturers
persist in holding at prices varying from
Thirty to Forty Dollars per ton.
The past season. everywhere, has clear
ly shown, that the low cost AMMoNIATED
SUPER PnosruATEs paid best on Corn,
Grass and Wheat. The day for high cost
Manures has passed. The experience of
good farmers, who look closely at FIRsr
Cosr and REsULrs, has proved that those
costing S25 PER TON,OR LESS, with
a reasonably good Analysis of free Phos-
phoric Acid AND AMMONIA,ha paid
them by far the best. There is abundant
evidence of this, right here in Columbia
Co., and from farmers who don't simply
guess at what they are doing.
In the four years of the use OF Baugh's
S25 Phosphate, there has not been q single
reasonable report of unfavorablc action on
any crop,ard this is testimony in itself
more than volumes of certificates. We do
not ask for, or publish certificates that
custom, has long ago ceased to be of any
consequence either way.

The court-martial in the case of Ser
geant Mason, who shot at Guiteau, rem
dered the following sentence: ''To be
dishonorably discharged from the service
of the United States, with the loss of all
pay and allowances now due or to be-
come due to him, and then to be confined
at hard labor in such penitentiary as the
proper authorities may direct for eight
years" Mason's offence was undoubted-
ly grave one and merited severe
punishment, but this sentence is too sc
we're. a much shorter term of imprison-
ment, added to discharge from the ser
vice, would have fulfilled all the require
ments of justice. Mason has been con-
fined il Il damp, unwholesome cell, over
run by verinin, and treated with less con
sideration than Guiteau. I'-t

The most interesting and important
business transacted by Congress this
week, was the passage of the bill abolish
ing the territorial government of Utah,
and placing it under commission, with
out representation in Congress. 1t is
vital blow at polygamy. There was a
sharp contest in the House, the Demo
Gratis desiring to amend the bill as it
came from the Senate, but it was finally
passed without amendment by vote of
yeas 100, nays A. There are some OBJ
iectionable features in the bill, which
may cause trouble hereafter The desire,
however, to do away with polygamy is
so strong that the people will endorse
the action of Congress, That many
troublesome questions will arise, as to
the disposition of Mormon Church prop
erty, is a matter of course and much de
pends upon the justice and honesty with
which these questions are met.

Upon being questioned recently as to
the deferred bonds and the probable date
of the end of the Receivership of the
Reading Company, President Gowen
said: "We are waiting till the
Judges Of the United States Circuit
Court come here, so as to make applica-
tion for the withdrawal of the injunction
against the deferred bonds. When it is
withdrawn the bonds will be issued. We
have Sl,9l1,000 idle in bank from the
first payment,and the remaining SIS, $780,
900 can be Gale for in installments run
ming over three or four months. This
pays all the floating debt, and expect
to be able to take the company out of
the Receivers hands within three weeks
after the United States Court withdraws
its Injunction"

THE WEEKLY THIBUDAUX SENTINEL. SATURDAY, APRIL Is 1882.

The FLOODS = In an able artt
Gle in the Assumption Pioneer OF
last Saturday it is stated that
the high water of 1867 surpassed
that of 1928, or it was SO thought.
The flood of 1874 did not reach,
by Z inches that of 1867. The
Hickey and Morganza %crevasses,
through which the waters flowed
that submerged the country now
under water broke on April 16.
The water continued to rise until
May 20, aud on May % it began
to decline.
1t will be perceived that the
waters are declining in 1882 ear
lier than the breaks occurred in
1874. How long it will taEe fol

SETTLED AT LAsT!-The long
disputed question OF the bounda
ry line between the Parishes of
Lafourcle and Eerrebonne, has
been finally decided in favor of
Lafonrche, the rulings OF Judge
Goode of Terrebonne having been
reversed by the SUPREME Court,
in the decision rendered last Mon
day. This suit has beeu an ami
cable one between the Police Ju
ries OF the two parishes, the OBJ
ject have been to permanently es
tabliSh the line dividing the Par
lshes, SO as prevent any trouble
in the future.
This decision will give the Ell
tire Acadia plantation, or very
nearly all, to Latourche. Terre
boune claimed that the greater
part of that plantation on Bayou
Blue including sugar house and
quarters was IN that Parish.
The case was ably conducted
on the.part OF Terrebonhe by l..
Snthon Esq. and on the pa,t OF
Lafourche by Clay Knobloch
Esq.
1t is a matter Of rejoicing that
the question is finally settled H.
gally.

Two little colored boys named
Perry and Bibolet had been quar-
reIing with each other for some
time, and on Good Friday Perry
had gone to the little store Oh
Main street in which Bibolet was
employed, and commenced the
war Of words again.
Considerable abuse and many
threats and dares passed between
them until finally Bibolet went be
hind the counter, drew a pistol
from a drawer and fred at Perry
who Was then standing in the
door. Mr.. Raglan was passing
the street about that time and
when the shot fired was just be.
side the door, and probably out
of view of Bibolet.
The ball Is believed to have
struck the upper part OF the door
frame, and glanced off striking
Raglan on the Bridge of the hose
and passing Into the head be-
tween the lower part of the eye
and cheek bone. The outward
wound was "a matter of little cou
sequence, but the effect of the
Bail within the eye was q matter
of the g,avest apprehensiOns OF
the friends Of the wounded man
Doctors Danscreau, Fleetwood
and Rogers wrr.' all summoned
and as soon as Mr.. Raglan reach
ell his residence, an examination
wan made:
He was suffering severely with
pains about the head. A cursory
examinations failed to locate the
ball or the direction it bad taken.
Such relief from suffering as could
he given, was administered and

On Saturday aud Sunday the
patient was said to be resting
comfortably without great pain,
but nothing had been done to

In order to get them out they had
to be pulled out through the door
