Fatal Raining ARRAY.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 2S,-A
terrible shooting affray, in which
two men lost their lives and others
were fatally wounded, took place on
the Kentucky River to-day. 1t ap-
pears that Henry Cockrill, with his
brother Bud" of Devine, Estill
county, and several assistants were
coming down the river with RATS
when they saw a man named Bud"
Parker and his brother, OF Clay's
Ferry, and his helpers coming close
behind them also on RATS. Cock
rill and his brother shouted to the
Parkers to steer their RATS in such q
way as to prevent collision. Ow-
ing to the swiftness of the current,
however, the Parkers could not guide
their RATS, and a collision took place
leading to hot dispute and gen.
eral tight. In which several shots were
fred by both parties. The two Cock
rills were instantly killed and four
others were mortally wounded.

Mr.. BARCLAY HENLEY, the only
Democrat elected to Congress from
California last fall, it now appears,
is not citizen of the United States.
Official evidence has been obtained
showing that in 1864 he went to Mex
leo. and there abjured his allegiance
to this country and applied for nat.
uralization and took the oath of al.
legiance to the Emperor Maximil'
liam. As this administration is ap-
pointing men who are not citizens o.
the United States, to represent thu
country abroad, we presume that
the election of a subject of foreign
government to represent a State o.
this Union, in Congress, will be con-
sidered all right by the party now
in power. Nevertheless, the nex'
Congress will have to decide wheth'
er the provisions of the Constitution
can be set aside to oblige Mr.. Hen
ley, of Mexico.

In the eyes of this Administra-
ton, standing by and working for
the election of his party candidates
is offensive partisanship" in Re-
publican, but to proclaim, in def
ance Of public sentiment. tha: the
assertion of the constitutional au-
thority of the U nited States govern
ment over the State of Virginia was
"a gross and bloody violation OF
public rights" is most commend
able and worthy of highest honor.
No other conclusion can be drawn
from the Presidents action in ap-
pointing that arrant rebel and DEM
agogue, Kelley, of Virginia, first as
the representative of this govern
ment to Rome, and afterwards, for
good and sufficient reasons, revok-
ing this appointment, and sending
him as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to Austro
Hungary. Remember too, that it
was not in the heat of rebellion, but
within the last two weeks only,
that Minister Kelley made the trea-
sonabe declaration which has APP
parendy sndsared him to. this Ad-
ministratisn.

The Violent Storm.

ScHUYLKILL Haven. April 3d.
Mrs. Charles Nelms, who lives near
Llewellyn, drives to Pottsville every
morning in a covered wagon to de-
liver milk. She was returning, and,
Just as she got on the wagon, a sud-
den heavy gale blew the horse and
vehicle over on top of her. The
wagon lay on its side and the horse
upon Mrs. Nelms. 1t is feared her in
juries will prove fatal. Mrs, Nelms
was removed to her home at once.

Nelms' horse and wagon on the way
to the farm was again upset by the
wind, and one of the occupants, Mrs.
Glen Epting, was injured by falling

among them the Able opera house,

The Republicans of the Legisla-
ture did very wise thing when
they determined, last week, to insist
upon more work and less talk i'll
future sessions. The waste of time,
and consequent delay in legislation,
is largely attributable to the idle,
senseless blather that has been in
dulged in during this session. Every
day of the Legislative session costs
the people $4,000, and when it is
considered that our representatives
do not really put in more than three
and ene-half days out of each week,
in pretended business, and that a
great portion of that time is wasted
in useless debate" it is high time
that a new leaf was turned over.
There are laborious, able, sincere
and upright men in the Republican
ranks, who, of course. are not per-
sonally accountable for the follies Of
their fellow members, but it is as a
body, not as individuals, that this
Legislature will be judged, and the
Republican party, not its individu-
al representatives, will be held re-
sponsible. 1t is to this better class OF
able and prudent men that we must
look for better results during the
remaining days of the session.

REPRESENTATIVE, Colborn, we are
pleased to see, agrees with the HER
AID that there has been entirely too
much useless blather in the House
during the present session: On
Thursday last on moving a post
ponement of the License Bill for the
purpose of taking up the General
Revenue Bill, he took occasion to
say: This thing has gone far
enough I'VE are wasting time
and doing nothing. | am one OF
this majority that is responsible for
the acts of this House. We can't
afford to sit here and do nothing and
be laughed at by the Democrats and
all the world, as we deserve to be.
/ propose to call a caucus of the Re
publicans tonight to agree upon
this bill and map out our future
course on legislation" In the caucus
which was subsequently held, il
was generally confessed that there
was a deal too much blather, and
resolution was passed requesting the
Speaker to rigidly enforce the ter
minute rule.

a sense of weight in the back, loins

neiehboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom-

itching, after getting warm, is a COM

Blowing Up Hungarians.

PorTsvILLE, April 3O.-Shortly
after 8 o'clock this evening two men
were seen by a woman living in the
neighborhood to deposit something
under double frame house on South
Second street, in the surburbs of this
city, and hastily depart. In a few
minutes a violent explosion occurred
blowing out the foundation cf the
house, tumbling down the plaster
and scattering the furniture about.
The house is occupied by sixteen
Hungarian lahorers, the wives of
two of them and several children.
Althouth terribly frightened, none
we're seriously injured. There is no
clue to the perpetrators of the out
rage, which was evidently inspired
by a murderous purpose.
