Stanley Huntiey, Il weli-known jour
nalist, died last Friday, in New York,
of Brights disease. He was the son of
a well-known New York lawyer, and
was born in 1916. He achieved no little
celebrity as the author of the ssSpoopcn-
dyke Papers," which he wrote for the
Brooklyn Eagle. He entered business
as a reporter for. the Western press,
and was for long time connected with
Chicago newspapers. While in the
West he had some remarkable expert
ences with the Indians, and by curing
the chief of one of the tribes, he was
adopted in the tribe, and subsequently,,
1t is said, became medicine man. He
went East about six years ago, and
since that time has been Unidentified
with the press of New York and
Brooklyn. AS writer he possessed a
great fund of humor and considerable
descriptive ability.

TIE RED RIVER DAM.

"Thc Red River Dam" was tho sub
tject Ola paper read by Gen. James
Grant Wilson before the Military Scr
vice Institution, at Governors Island.
He described the events which led to
the Red River expedition, wherein a
squadron of five irOnclad5 and several
floats with valuable equipments were
stranded by the low water at Alexan-
dria, La. Gen. N. T.. Banks was in
command, and as the river went down
there seemed to be no way to get out.
At last, about the last of April, Wis
consin farmer named Joseph Bailey, a
Captain of Wisconsin volunteers, pro-
posed to build dam in the river below,
so that the irOnclads could be hoated,
and then, by opening the gates Of tho
dam, they could be lot through into
deeper water. Everybody looked on
the idea rs piece OF folly, but the case
was desperate, and on April 80 the
soldiers began building the dam whore
the river is about $50 feet wide. A
regiment OF negroes worked on one
side and whites on the other. Capt.
Bailey surcrntcndcd. Trees, rocks,
brush, and earth were used. The rebels
laughed at the idea, and thought the
ironclndS and their valuable armaments
surely theirs, but il proved one OF the
best engineering feats of the war. On
May S the two floats which were
anchored as gates gave way under the
pressure. The ironcladI were already
aiinat, and, when they saw the break,
put on steam and headed FOR the waters
which were rushing through it. Down
the rapids they plunged, aud. would
surely have been broken on the rocks
below but for the floats, which acted as
tenders, and the boats gIided Off into
deep water amid the widest shouts
from the troops. Capt. Bailey was
promoted to the rank of Brigadier, Gen
eral, aud 5000 and an elegant sword
from the Government We're transmitted
to him by Admiral Porter. After the
war Bailey became a farmer in Newton
country, Wis, and then Sheriff. He
was active against the desperadoes who
infested his county, and was shot dead
by one of them on March 81, 1867.
Parts OF the II Il River dam still
remain.

ENDlI HONORABLE.

No trait is moro to be admired than
the moral courage TO acknnwlrga u
fault that docs Injustice TO another.
The New Orleans City Item of recent
date aimed an unfair thrust at Gov.
McEnery, in alluding to the report
emanating from the Auditors Office
that q good uiauy sheritfS were deriiict
in settling back tax collections, and
demanding in discourtcouS terms the
removal of these shcrillS by the
Governor.
In noticing the Items cling Gov.
McEncry gives the editor to under
stand that there are constitutional
provisions and State statutes in force
governing the subject of removals of
constitutional officers, aud that he
could not play the role of dictator. If
tho Items comment was founded in
malice or ignorance of the law it ought
to make the admission. The La.
Democrat, too, in a late issue, expressed
establishment that the Governor has
not yet issued a warrant for the cXccu
ton of the two convicted Murphy muir
derers, but we now readily understand
the delay TO be caused by the failure to
transmit the record of the case to the
Governors Office. 1t is always best to
remember that "justice should be done
though the heavens fall. '-Iu. Demo-
crdt.

THE LOUISIANA OFFICERS.

The Reform Democracy ares quite
jubilant over the recent appointments
made in this State by President Cleve
land, and we suppose that the Regu-
lars should appear correspondingIy un-
happy.
Some few months ago we recon-
mended TO our Reform friends the
cultivation of the Christian virtues of
patience and resignation when they
failed to materializn their plans at the
Baton Rouge Convention. Doctrine so
applicable 20 State politics may, we
presume, without violation of the
spirit Of our Constitution in its pro-
visions divorcing State ami Federal
matters, be utilized by the H"gnlars on
this occasion.
1t was sad to sec the man whose
noble profile graced all Of our apart,
ments, whose bcnignant countcnance
seemed to promise so much to the
rank and file, turn his back upon the
boys and take up the lean and hungry
fellows who have been making the
weiflin ring with their cries for reform.
But the decd is done, the other fellows
are in by large majority and the
question arises: "What will you do
about it ?" Under the circumstances
we think ii will be best for our friends,
the Regulars, to do what they advised
the other fellows TO do last ycar-sgrin
and bear ii.' True il seems a littlo
hard, and a little queer, to those who
were importuned by Mr.. CIeveland's
friends before the Chicago Convention
to rally to his support against the
naughty Bayard and old Saddlebags,
after bearing the heat and burden of
the contest, to see those who had
howled themselves hOarse at Chicago
in efforts to convince delegates what a
grossly improper man Cleveland was,
now step in and dispense the patronage.
1t looks queer, we say, to tho rank
and file, bat they must understand
that this is superlinc reform, and get
used to it. II the Regulars exhibit
their sore spots they will be laughed
at, SO they may as we'll practice
patience and resignation and enjoy the
sport of observing the efforts of the
victims who hold the commissions in
trying to satisfy twenty applicants with
one position. -Tn1cs Democrat.

victs is not sufficient. 1t is worth a
great deal more, and contractors can
afford to pay double the present price
and still realize handsome profits. The
control of the State, too, over the work.
ing Of the convicts, their treatment,
ETC., is not properly defined or secured.
With such amendments as will meet
these objections, we cannot see how a
better Penitentiary system can be
adopted than the one now in vogue, at
least not until the State is in financial
condition to dispense with the revenue
from the lease of its convicts.
