Monday afternoon, in fning Mr.. Nell
son Taylor for contempt, (because his
horse had been Turned loose upon the
public streets,) was too hasty, and
is highly condemned by many of our
best citizens. The fact that the May
or had previously outlawed the horse
and ordered his owner to keep the
animal shut up at night, something
lie had no right to do under the ordi-
nances of the Town, the people hav-
ing settled that question at an cleo
ton some years ago, when they said
at the ballot box that horses, cows,
etc., should run at large on the streets,
was bad enough, but when on Mon
day he ordered Mr.. Taylor arrested
and fined him for disobeying his or
ders, he trent too Jar. Citizens have
rights, and the laws are intended as
much for their protection as for their
punishment, and also to hold officials
in check. Mr.. Taylor did not have
the money with which to pay the fine,
aud was placed in the lookup, where
he renamed about thirty minutes,
when friend sent him the money,
and he thus gained his liberty. In
connection with this case we will add
that Mr.. Taylor has engaged Mr.. E.
G.. Hunter as his attorney and intends
sning the Corporation for $4,000 for
false imprisonment.

THE SToRM.-The gale which swept
over our Parish last week did some harm
but not as much as was anticipated. In
some places fences were blown down, the
cane was laid flat, and cotton that had
not been picked over beat out by winds
and rain to considerable extent. We
are fortunate in having so little damage,
comparatively to other places in the Gulf
States. The account from Sabine Pass,
Point-a-la- Hache, and other places in
Louisiana and Texas are truly distressing
The visitatiOns of the recent earthquake
in Charleston and other places do not
compare with the loss of life and property
in the little town of Sabine Pass. Only
two houses left in the whole village and
two hundred and fifty human beings sac
rifced by the angry food To read the
accounts given by the press is heartrend-
ing, and we can but feel grateful that no
snch calamity has befallen our Parish
Notwithstanding the great food in June
the prospects for good crop are encour-
aging, and our Parish is blessed in esca-
ping tho great disasters which have visi-
ted other sections of the country.

UWhen Greek Meets Turk"

LONDON, May 26.-Advices received
here say that severe engagements has
taking place on the Greek frontier be.
tween the Turkish and Greek troops.
The fighting is Intermittent and ex-
tends along the frontier for distance
of fifteen miles. The heaviest fighting
is at Tiernovo. Many have been
wounded on both sides.
Prime Minister Tricoupis has teles
graphed to the General in command
of the Greek forces, instructing him to
endeavor to arrange an armistice. The
latter has evidently been unable OF
comply with his instructions, owing to
the difficulty of securing an interview
with Eyoub Pasha, the Turkish COM
mander.
The Greek Cabinet is in session at
Athens, and great excitement prevails
in the capital.
A dispatch from Athens says: A
truce was effected at noon yesterday
and there has been no fighting since
that time.
The casualties are heavy on both sides

CLEVELAND, o., May 26.-The
first business to come before the assem-

most of to>day's session is that of or
ganization. All of the delegates served
at the preceding assembly. 1t Will be

The programme provides for afternoon
sessions, but if Mr.. Powderly sees that
the stress of business requires it he
will, it is thought, have the sessions
opened at 8 o'clock in the morning.

Speaking OF Mr.. Davis receptions
in the South, Judge Harris Of Virginia
tells story which SHOWS how enthusi-
asm may triumph over adverse lacte.
Old Jonathan Peale lived on bis
farm, about six miles from Harrisburg,
Va, during the war, and rode into
town twice a week on his old swhite
horse to hear the news and comment
on 1t after his fashion, which was
abominably through his nose. He was
one Of those thorough Sontherners in
whose head there never was room for
doubt. He had such steadfast cons
fidence that the South would whip
the North, and was doing 50 daily,
that nobody ever ventured to hint the
contrary to him. He would stride
into the Office of the weekly newspas
per on his semi weekly visits, throw
himself down in chair and inquire
| swell, editor, what's the news?"
ooh, GEN. Lee has had another bat.
tie with the enemy" the accommodate
ting editor would reply, s.and drove
them of in confusion"
III knew he would do 1t. knew
he would scatter 'em," the old man
would respond. with much nasal en-
thusiasm, and trot back home to tell
the family how the war was going.
. But at length there came = time
when such pleasing filctions would no
longer do. II came to be the second
week of April, 1s65-the week of APP
pomattox. When Uncle Jonathan
came in with his usual inquiry, he
found quite an earnest group OF men
/ in the newspaper office.
g "The news is very bad, Mr.. Peale,
$ very bad" the editor acknowledged,
. with considerable hesitation, for he
: couldn't see how he was ever going to
:. get the old man down to the level OF
J. facts without something breaking

"w. f. Barrett, the unveraeious aud sensational
Washington correspondent Of the Boston Advertiser
has just furnished that paper with another decidedly
"hshy' letter concerning Vermont politics. OF course
the Free Press and two three other papers, which
are well aware of Barretts reputation as truth
dOdger, will hasten to copy this letter, they did bis
senatorial letters from this state last fall.
We copy the above characteristic fling
from the Montpelier Waterman, and we also
copy, in another column, wv. E b. 5" letter,
to which we ask particular attention, because
the statements therein, and especially the
quotations from a letter, or report, from
"a prominent Democratic politician of Yer
mont" to his party boss, so far from being
"fshy," as the Wstchman claims, are abso-
Lutte verities, as will doubtless appear in due
time. II the editor of the Waterman is still
incredulous, let him ask his neighbor Atkins
of the Argus, about it. 1t may be safely as
sumed that he wont say it is myth, or even
'6shy," for he has already put himself on
record about it in print As the Waterman
is hitching horses with the Argus in this SEN
atorisl fight, it ought not to embarrass its
friend and co-laborer by indiscreet assertions
about matters IL doesn't understand. As re
CARDS W. E. BIS sensational letters from
this state last fall, to which the Waterman
alludes, We need simply to remark that
their assertions about the combinations then
forming to defeat Edmunds have been fully
justified in every particular by subsequent de-
velopments, and their predictions are now &C
cepted history. Mr.. Barrett, for so young q
man, has shown very remarkable aoumen
and wise discretion, and already ranks among
the most reliable and accurate, as he is one
of the most wide awake of Washington cor
respondents. But if he was an angel Of light
he would not suit the Waterman unless he
wore It's masters livery.
