Ing sand" generally and causing ono

people have come to the conclusion
that her early election is essential to

An unfortunate, and, to be regretted
oimculfy, the origin of which we are
not apprised Of, transpired in our
usually quiet and modest city about
noon to-day, between Mr.. A. LaBaum
ana TWO brothers named Blazier, the
result Of which was that the former
was literally, so to speak, disem.
boweled.
The excitement incident to an affair
OF this nature; the crowded condition
OF our thoroughfares and the desire to
do injustice to no one, prompts US to
rest the matter, until an examination
can be had, when the testimony of
witnesses will shed more light upon q
rather gloomy subject.

been ONE Of the chief characteristics Of
the school, and, as a consequence the
pupils have rapidly advanced IN their

The colored people of Washing
ton turned out in large numbers last
week TO congratulate Senator John
A Logan on his re election. A pro-
cession was formed, which included
all the colored military companies Of
fhe city in full uniform. After two
or three bands had played selections
the General was called for amid loud
and prolonged cheering, and made
brief address appropriate to the oc-
casion, thanking his colored fellow
citizens for the compliment of the
serenade and expressing the hope
that he might be Of service to them
in the future, as he has endeayored
to be in the past. He assured
them that they would always find
in him a faithful and steadfast
friend. General Logon referred
very feelingly to his visit this week
to General Grant. The name Of the
old commander was greeted with
tremendous cheering, repeated again
and again.

An appeal Is being made by the
Fargo Argus for the removal of the
Dakota exhibit from New Orleans
after May 31st to the exhibit at
Louisville. One of the strongest
objections made against the idea of
having display at the New Orleans
exposition was the fact that compar
atiyely few of the yeomanry Of the
north from whence the immigration
to Dakota is to come would visit
New Orleans. There is no disput-
ing the fact that the farther north
ward the Dakota display is brought
the more good it will do.

The situation in England il in
decidedly mixed condition. The
overthrow OF liberal ministry and
the return of the conservatives to
power, presents the anamoly Of q
change of government to Il party
holding the monority in the COM
mons. The Marquis OF Salisbury
has been called on by the Queen to
form o conservative ministry, but
hesitates to do so unless the liberal
majority in tine house will consent
not to embarass the new govern
ment by obstructive measures. The
pronounced opposition of the con-
seryatiyes to the Gladstone, or lib
eral foreign policy, has added greas
ly to the complication. Should the
conservatives succeed in forming
government, it is believed Russia
will have to recede from her pos
ition, 20 moderate her demands, or
fight. The Queen 10 anxious for
the conservatives to take hold Of the
government because she thinks the
policy Of the liberals have been
humilating and damaging to British
prestige abroad, especially in regard
to the Pendjah affair and the Afgh
an boundary settlement. Should
the liberals consent to refrain from
obstructive measures, or sufficient
number to assure the safely Of the
liberal government for the short
time intervening between this and
fall elections, the new government
will be organized, and the negota-
tions with Russia so far, will be a
dead letter and the whole work will
have to be done over again. In that
event, as before stated, Russia will
have either to change her tone,
lower her demands, or fight.
In the overthrow of the liberal
government the conservatives are in
the position OF the fellow who
seized bear by the tail as she was
going into cave hoping to save his
friend who was after her cubs be-
low. If ae let 60 his friend was in
grave danger Of his life, if he held
on the ultimate result would be the
same. unless some lucky accident
interviewed. IL the conservatives let
go, let this chance pass, their hope
of again coming into power is very
dubious, il they hold on a vote of
csnsure may hurl them from power
any day unless the lucky accident
Of war with Russia should save
them. II they form government
we believe that they will resort to
the latter alternative to save their
party and retain power.
