The following from the Salem SfaHaqrd
concerns a recent resident OF our vicinity,
whom some Of our readers know by repu-
tation:
Margaret Gentry, a female OF bad repute
IN this city, was given quarters i'll the big
brick building on Market street, on Mon
day night. Mag" as she is more ia
military known, delights in displaying
her muscular and scientific powers over
those OF the stronger sex, and, as She re-
marked, allows no one to interfere when
she means fight" IN a recent encounter
with Joseph Shapes, who lives in what is
known as the "Brick Row. on the
Prairies, a lady living in the same row at
tempted to part them, when she was
knocked down by Mag, who was So tan
gled MP in Joe's hair, She said she did not
know who she was hitting. For this Of
fence and other misconduct, Justice Wood
placed the fine and cost at s 40, and in de-
fault of payment she was sent to Jail to
remain until the same was settled.

An Ex-sncrin poisons Himself.

Amos Gaunt, a prominent resident Of
Woodbury., and formerly Sheriff of CLIQUE
ester county, died about midnight Monday
night from the effects of Paris Green, taken
with suicidal intent. Although formerly
OF considerable means, he spent the bulk
of his fortune in securing tie office Of
Sheriff and in an unsuccessful business
speculation ii Philadelphia. Financial
troubles Of late induced m~elancholia, and
he had frequently threatened to commit
suicide. Early in She morning his wife
found him in his room, suffering great
agony. He acknowledged taking poison
and said he wanted 10 die, refusing even
to take antidotes until the pain became nm
endurable. The unfortunate mans body
was eontorted with commissions for hours,
and his sullerings We're frightfal. He was
90 years of age. Coroner Green deemed
an inquest unnecessary and gave a verdict
Of death from poison, taken with suicidal
intent. The body was buried at Mantua
yesterday.

The Irish delegates to the Chicago
convention directly charge Churchill
and Chamberlain with melting the
orange riots at Belfast and other places
by speeches and letters. Churchill told
them that If they wanted recognition
by the English people they must fight
for it. The riots, begun in small way,
were fostered by the Belfast authorities
who were all 0rangemen of the higher
class. The police were discouraged in
their attempts to make arrests and con-
finement In the barracks and dismissal
from the force generally followed. The
delegates said that there would be no
general movement against paying rents,
but that 1t was impossible for them to
pay iE their present destitute condition
and that there would very shortly be Sc
rlous trouble on that account.

WHEN the lion tanner Of the San Pedro
roared in his council chamber den on
yesterday what cOmmOtiOn there was
among tine animals. No Royal mastif
ever lOrded ii over kennel Of common
ours more arrogantly than did Bryan
Callaghan on yesterday lord 1t over the
city council His whip was 10 his hand,
and his blows fell without regard to law,
license, order or gospel. Assuming that
nothing was legal which the council had
transacted during his two months alb
sence, the mayor launched his veto
against such acts as he did not approve,
and despite the express provision OF the
ordinances-tha all acts disapprOved by
him must be returned to the council at
its next meeting with his objections
thereto in writing, or the same shall take
effect without his signature-he brow
beat the council into reConsidering the
vote by which the wages Of street labor
ers was fixed at $l.5O per day, and de-
clared it lost because it did not receive
the requisite two-third endorsement.
The bullying OF the city council on yes
terday was most extraordinary exhl-
bition Of high-handed lrresponsibeness
No such contempt and disregard for or
der, procedure and decency has ever
been witnessed in the council chamber
OF an American city. II San Antonio
has the slightest regard for her reputa-
ton; II her present board Of aldermen
have any just appreciation of their own
dignities and rights, Mayor Callaghan
should be impeached. II the working
men Of this city swallow the insult put
upon them yesterday and allow Bryan
Callaghan to serve another term rs
mayor of this city they have not the
spirit of freemen.

The GOOD faith Of the Austin crowd,
led by Col. DEGREES, is made manifest
by his manipulating the county republi-
can convention in the interests of dis
gruntled democrats. The representa-
tions made by the LIGHT some weeks
since, as to the methods employed by
DEGREES in calling the state convention,
were made light Of by the Evening Pa
per of this city, and emphatically denied
by the Austin Dispatch. The proceed
ings Of the Travis county convention are
presumptive proof Of the charge, that it
is not republican interests that are the
concern of the ex-postmasteT so much as
DeGress' private interests. In the face
of the demand made by the Austin Dis
patch for republican state convention
and straight republican nominations the
Austin convention under the manipula-
ton of DeGress and Leader is an insult
to the republicans of the state, and
should be resented accordingly. Such
men are no more fit to be entrusted with
the management OF the affairs OF the re-
publican party than a hungry bear is
with pot of honey. The insane haste
manifested in making up mongrel
county ticket, with democratic nomina-
tions to Office, reflects very little credit
upon the stalwart republicanism of the
man who, while doing il, assumes to be
so jealous for the honor of republicanism
in Texas as to travel outside the returns
in order to assemble state convention.
1t is not the first time that Col. DEGREES
has shown the mongrel breed of his re-
publicanisn, and q wise regard for their
own interests would lead the republic
cans of Texas to henceforth and forever
put 1t out OF the power Of such men to
misrepresent them and the party. Give
us straight goods or none.

The Express wants to know what the
LIGHT considers fair days wages for
unskilled laborers employed on the
street work? The LIGHT answers: such
wages as will enable the laborer to re mt
house at least as habitable as the stable
in which the Express keeps its horse; to
provide such food for his family as would
not be rejected by decent house-dog;
to provide such clothing as will cover
his own nakedness and that of his wife
and children, and admit of those chill
dren attending school when Of sufficient
age TO do sO-in a.word, to make such
provision for those dependent upon him
as will enable him and them to maintain
clean, healthy bodies; a clean, healthy
home; procure abundant, wholesome,
homely food; provide for the education
Of his children in the public schools and
make both him and them feel that they
have the rights and privileges Of free
people. This the city owes to every
workman employed upon her streets,
and the LIGHT does not believe that this
can be done on any less sum than that
allowed by the city council in its resolu-
ton Of last June, which Bryan Callaghan
illegally vetoed on yesterday. That act
OF the council placed wages at 81 30 a
day. Galveston paysS2 %. San Anto-
MO does no credit to herself by pauper-
ising labor Cd the specious pretenses set
forth by the Express.

The cha nges in the New York custom
house are not for the good of the country
SO much as they are for the good of
Grover Cleveland in 1883. The man
whom Thompson appointed to office
under cover of the presidents sanction
was totally unfit for the office, and his
removal is righteous act and one neces-
sary to the good Of the public service,
but the appointment of "howling Dan
Magone" in his place absolves Mr..
Cleveland Of all suspicion of having
been actuated by desire TO fill the i'm
portant position more -creditably. 1t
was undoubtedly a slap at Governor Hill
and illustrates by one more example the
fatality OF New York custom-house ap-
polntments to presidential inoumbents.
1t split Grant and Greedy; it raised a
ruction between Hayes and the New
York republicans when Arthur was re-
moved, and now threatens to take the
New York democracy out of Cleveland's
hand and retire him permanently in 1888.
