THE Chicago Tribune severely criti-
cised, or in fact, attacked the reports
of all the Cabinet officers, with the ex-
ception of that of Secretary Lamar.
As a general rule, the Tribune abuses
the South and everything Southern,
and the fact that it acknowledged that
the report of the Secretary of the In-
terror was not open to criticism caused
considerable astonishment.

THE first trouble that occurred in
the administration of the affairs of our
city, after we ousted the Radicals, be-
gan when a number of Democrats
bolteda regular nomination for Mayor.
We foresaw the evil then, and pre-
dicted it, but the boiling Democrats
and the Radicals defeated the regular
nominee. 1t is advisable now for all
good citizens to re,discipline the Dem
ocratic party and stand by it.

A Conflict Between Two Families.
CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 23.-News has
reached this city of a very sensational
and sa%nguinary conflict between two
families in Clay county, Tenn, among
whose bitter yanditta is of long stand
ing, and as a result of this affair three
men were mortally wounded and two
qnite seriously. Geo. James and Budd
Taylor and Geo. Scarborough attended
a school examination and on
return home began drinking heavily,
and in their drunken orgies met a man
named Stewart, who is related to a
family named Goes, with whom the
Taylors had a feud of long standing.
They assaulted Stewart ~furiously, and
would have beaten him nearly to
death had not three members of the
Goes family came up at a fortunate
moment. All parties were armed to
the teeth and a fierce battle with pis.
tolls ensued. Short range duels were
very effective, and as a result, James
Taylor was shot through the bowels,
Budd Taylor through both hips, Scar
borough through the lungs, and George
Taylor was wounded in three places.
The Goes escaped unscathed. 1t is
thought that two Of the Taylors and
Scarborough will die.

NM pRFgTDFNTs SISTER.

The glowing periods on the miseries
Of polygamy, found in President
CIeveland's message to Congress, are
attributed to his sister, Miss Rose
Cleveland. These periods are marked
by peculiarities of metaphor, con-
struction, fervent, indignant and
impatient thought. They are the same
as those that distinguish the style Of
Miss Cleveland when she is writing Of
the wrongs Of womanhood, or in
pointing out remedies for social
evils. The New York Sun says : If
Miss Cleveland did, as appears to be
the case, furnish her brother with the
most intense and energetic passage in
his discussion of the Mormon prob
lem, the fact is certainly very inter-
esting. 1t is perhaps the first time
in the history of the United States
that a woman has contributed so i'm
portant a State paper. The incident
is equally creditable to the President
and to Miss Cleveland.

THE New Orleans Times-D Democrats
Washington correspondent says Leath-
ers and Cowden last Winter sold their
Lake Borgne outlet scheme to two
wealthy citizens of New York, and
surmises that the scheme to secure
Congressional aid will be renewed this
session. This might mean nothing,
except that the correspondent men,
lions President Cleveland's failure to
refer to the Mississippi Valley in con-
nection with the information
given about the Lake Borgne
matter, and says that both
gentlemen are friends of the
President. He also says the sugges-
ton is freely made, that the Lake
Borgne matter may have something to
do with the Presidents omission of
Mississippi River improvement.
We think this is a SANDER of the
President by inuendo. No one for a
moment can entertain the opinion that
he has any connection, direct or indi-
rect, with any scheme or "job."
The Times Democrat has never ad-
mired the President, but hitherto
it has not INDUCED in such modes of
attack. We are quite sure u Sena-
tors are Of the opinion that the Presi-
dent will approve any appropriation
