ANOTHER FIGHT IN CHINA.
Three GunbOats Give the Chinese n
Taste of Grape.

PARIS, Oct. G.-An official dispatch has
been received from BAG Mini to the effect
that three French guntoats, while cruising
north on the Bac Mini river, discovered q
camp of 1000 Chinese regulars, and imme-
diately opened fire upon them. The Chinese
were totally unprepared to defend their po-
sition against an attack by heavy guns, hav-
ing but slight brush works thrown up which
we're easily razed leaving them fully OK
posed to a raking fire of grape and shrapnel
from the gunboatS, which moved down
large numbers and created panic in their
ranks, causing them to flee in all directions
The French loss is stated at one killed ana
thirty-oue wounded, while the Chinese loss is
great
PARIS, Oct. G.-Gen. DeliSle sends dis
patch stating that upon hearing that Chinese
troops between Bacle and Langson were
moving forward, he took measures necessary
to drive them back to their gtmboat5 A
brilliant engagement ensued, 1000 Chinese
troops beiug ptted against him Com
mander Chalie, of the Massuo, was killed in
the fight. When tho dispatch was sent the
having lost heavily.
fARlS, bcI. O.-1he 1elegfaphe says IL has
received information that the government
intends shortly to recall Admiral Courbet
from China, and, therefore, has instructed
him to destroy the Chinese fleet, in the event
of the capture of Kelung failing to cause
China to submit to the French demands.
NJ. Ferry, i'll a noe 10 he..Br,tish embassy
explaining the measures adopted by France
for the stiey of foreigners in China, says:
"Admirll Courbet was instructed at the be-
ginn ng that he was not to mjure the foreign
cOnCession,." The nytc concludes with a.
suraGc of Frances oicitude for the inter
ests OF of English commerce.

an impartial juror on trial Of that kiHa,
because conviction with him denies the right
of practicing polygamy. notwithstanding all
human laws to the contrary, if he believes
polygamy is a command, or a law
proclaimed by the Almighty it
makes no difference how many
human laws are passed, he will still
believe that polygamy is right, because he
thinks higher law is governing him. Now,
congress intended to exclude this class Of
men from participating in the duties OF
jurors, from acting either as grand jurors OF
petit jurors This is the base of the principle
stated This is the reason, / suppose, this
law was passed. Now as to custom, if this
law were simply to apply to the petit jury
and not to the grand jury, it would certainly
defeat the purpose of the law, and in my
judgment would be contrary to the letter as
well. am of the opinion that the letter and
spirit of this law both agree: and, therefore,
am of the opinion that these jurors, by their
answers, were properly excluded, and could
not have been otherwise under this law with
out disregarding it."
John W. Young, son of Brigham, Friday
demurred to the Indictment against him for
polygamy. The jury charged him with
more than one offense-the marriage of two
polygamous wives.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 6-Mr. W. G. Eon,
who has arrive here from Fullerton, Nance
county, gives the details of an awul butch
cir viii oecurred near that place last
Mnday night Flilay Tom Miller, a
veil-known cattle ranchman, went to Fuller
ton and startled the community with the
TIA III, mt that H. G. Fereival and his wi e
and Gid living thirteen miles west
of town, has been murdered, together with
Hugh Mare, and that two other Englishmsn,
Furniyal and Baird, were missing. Miller,
who had some business with Percival, who
lives at the head of Horse creek,
went up there to see him Wednesday,
AMI before be reached Percivars
house he was told by some Of the
neighhors that Percival and his folks were
not at home, as the house was shut up. New
olthclass, Miller went to the house and rap
pei on the door, and got no answer, and
then returned home. Thursday night Mil
Ter again went to Percivals house to see if
ne had returned He found the door fast
elIel, aud thereupon broke it open, thinking
peihIs something might be wrong. He was
Mortified to lind Mrs. Percival dead in
bed, having been shot, and her child lying
dead beside her Mr.. Percival was not to be
t, uni in the house, but Miller soon discov-
ere.t him lying dead near a haystack he too
having been shot His body was partly
eaton by dogs ana wolves. Hugh Mare, his
former partner i'll me cattle business, who
had been visiting him, was also found dead
Oh the promises, he likewise having been
murdered.
Pereival and his wife and child and Mare
wcro in Fullerton and made few
purchases. PeIcival had considerable money
Oh his person when he went home 1t is sup
posed that after he arrived at home he put
~ his team and was about to start for his
house with Mare, when they were assaulted
aud killed and robbed, after which the
murderer or murderers went to the
house and killed Mrs Percival and the
child 1t is said that Marc was choked to
death or SmOthered in some way. Two
neighbors, Furnival and Baird, who are
missing, are generally supposed to have been
killed, and search is being made for their
bodies They are said TO have been honest
and respectable men, and the general belief
is that they had no hand in the murder. 1t
is supposed that the murder was committed
by one man, and that it was done for the pur-
pose Of robbery Percival was we'll off, and
probably had more ready money on his per-
| son than the $500 he got at Fullerton. Mare,
who was found murdered with him, was, Mt
| the time of his death, partner with Furni-
val in the cattle business, and visited from
| time to time among his friends in the Eng
fish colony located in the vicinity of Peurci-

L0P-EARED GERMANS.
A Low Lived Republican Postmaster
Grossly Insults the German
Race.

The following infamous article is cop
led from the Keokuk Gate city, edited by
Sam Clark, the postmaster at that place
GERMANS.
who is this class, and where do they
hail from? They hail from across the
ocean, and are a lot of lOp cared, wooden>
shoed, ignorant, and uneducated set of
original paupers that have been spewed
out of the over>populated countries of
Europe, because of their inability TO sup.
port them, and have been received among
US our equals under the law, because of
the peculiar institutions OF the country
that has adopted them. How immoderatc-
ly can they show their want of apprccia>
ton Immediately after emerging from
pauperism worse than slavery, is not
easily understood. They are snarling,
slandering and forever bowling ut, and
openly violating every law that protects
the virtue and protects the honor of the
country that has granted them habitatiOn,
which is in keeping with their education
and training, and is therefore easily ac-
counted for. What wonder that there
should be an under current of knownOth,
ingism, in this country. The wonder is
that there is not more of it.
A man who would write such an article
is not entitled to the respect of his fellow
men. If the Germans were not quiet and
orderly people, those of Keokuk would
have raided this editors Office ere this II

knave or fool. Clark is one of the re

HIS LITTLE BROAD-AX.
Tho journalistic potentate Who
Rules The New York Herald
Goes Into an Examination OF His
Papers Affairs, aud Comes Ont
Cory with Fifty-Eight
Official Scalps.

NEW York, Oct. G.-Since the return of
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett that gentleman
has devoted his odd moments to his bust
ness in a manner that has surprised good
many Of his employees. couple of weeks
ago he made n wholesale sweep in The Herald
city department, by which nineteen reporters
were dismissed, and thu salaries of those re
naming were established upon a weekly basis
BY this what is known as "spacc work was
almost entirely doneaway within The Herald
Office. There was also n baking up" of ed
itors and other Office men Il was believed
that, this cyclone passed. there would follow
Il IrotraCted period Of quiet but it apl ears
that it was but the overture music that was
then played. During his absence in Cali
forna, in comp any with Mr. NordhoH
and Mr.. Flynn, Mr. Bennett has evil
IDENTIFY improved his tine in getting at
a correct idea of the condition of thing
in his Office here. Friday Re let his AK
fall, and as a result thirty nine editors, re
portcrs, and employees i'll the mechanical de
partment were decapitated. OF these, many
were engaged upon The Telegram. Only
three editors of that paper are left to tell the
tale of the lawful avalanche" that over
whelmed their associates. Altogether Mr.
| Bennett has within three weeks dismissed
fifty-eight editors, reporters and other en-
| ployes.
An idea of the general sweep may be gath
cred by instancing one dismissal made Fri
day. The gentleman who had charge of the
ship news department, on which The Herald
has for years prided itself as being the most
) complete of any paper in the world was
among those turned adrift. He had been on
The Herald thirty-one years. The notifca-
ton he received was to the effect that his
services were no longer required after
this day" and the others were served
in the same summary manner 1t is
said that Mr.. Rowland, who for years has
been the general manager of the paper rep
rrsenting Mr.. Bennett in all departments, is
also on the tcntel-hooks and expects to be let
out
There are various reasons assigned for this
move on Mr.. BENEFITS part. One, which is
more generally di: cussed than any other, i:
that The Herald has for many months
Ireen falling away in circulation. Il
is stated on the authority of an omploye
who went out with the procession Of thirty
nine that The Herald's circulation has shIrlnl
G little over 40 per cent. When it is remem
hered that The Journal, two years old, ha.
over 5000, and that Tho World has in
creased from almost nothing to 100000, il
gethcr new readers, but must have beef
drawn from some other source, and thai
somebody must have suffered by their gain
