SALTWATER ALDERMEN
Appear In Court to Answer, but Were
Not Yet Arraigned.
FAYETTE MARSH EXPLAINS.
The Accused Anxious for Trial---A
Race on the are---Stillwater
Miscellany.

Members of the present city council,
together with the ex-aldermen charged
with malfeasance in Office, appeared in
court yesterday morning before Mu-
nicipal Judge Manwaring, but were not
arraigned, the proceedings being con-
tinued until Wednesday at the request
of City Attorney j. N. Searles, who was
compelled by other engagements to be
absent from the city. During the at
tendance in the court room Mr.. Marsh
denied that he had remarked around
town that Aid. Lows scalp was all he
was after. He, however, explained that
he had at no time desired the arrest of
any others, but that complaints had been
filed against them for the reason that
otherwise the county attorney had re-
fused to proceed. Marsh added that
while all the aldermen and eX-aldermen
arrested were technically guilty of the
offenSe, Low was the only one who had
put money in his own pocket as the re-
suit. Ex-Ald.W. s. Conrad desired that
the investigation be gone into as speed
lily as possible. Reports of this prosecu-
ton for malfeasance in office had
reached the East through the public
press, and damage had resulted to bust
ness credit with Eastern houses.

AN INCONSISTENCY.
The Gambling Of the English
Race Course,

1t is somewhat absurd to employ all
the machinery of state prosecution to
run down baccarat club, when the
popular mode of gambling is taken
under national patronage, says the Pail
Mall Budget. Neither can we see why
parliament should legiSlate against lot
teries and leave the race course open.
We publish summary of very inter-
esting article by. w. Day, the
veteran trainer, I'm which he sets forth
with commendable plainness of
speech, some of the plague spots
which are eating into the British turf.
They are, not to put too fine word to
it, simply so many forms of swindllng,
and Mr.. Day recommends, as the only
remedy the establishment under jockey
club patronage of the systemized mode
of betting known at the Paris mutuals.
We leave the discussion of that ques
ton to experts, but we put it frankly to
our readers, Oh what ground of princi-
pie can we Justify the liberation of this
great al freSco gambling hell, with all
its swindling and its crime, and our
virtuous adherence of lotteries, our
suppression of baccaret clubs, and
our pious horror of Monte Carlo.
Is gambling in itself wrong.
If it is a permissible foible,
why should we encourage the worst
kind. out of which we make no profit,
and which reeks with every description
of imaginable fraud, while we refuse
absolutely to allow lotteries which can
be run fairly, and which constitute in
many states valuable source of public
revenue? That is a question to which we
have never been able to secure an in
telligible answer, And until it is an
swered we fail to understand why an
ordinary turtle should be regarded as a
reputable member Of society by those
who would boycott without hesitation
the habitue of Monte Carlo.

GLOOMY FOR CANADA.
Political, Race and Religious
Wars Threaten to Disrupt the
Dominion,


Dominion.
Toronto Letter in the New York Herald
Now, it is out of this state of affairs
that comes the conviction with which L
started-that the success of the equal
rights" movement must lead to annexa-
ton, and it is as as demOnStratable as
a proposition in Euclid. The dream of
the Equal Rights association" is that
the agitation should result in the cleo
ton to the Dominion parliament of a
phalanx of men pledged to oppose
Romanish aggression at every point.
Such movement would have its coun-
terpart in Quebec, which would like
wise send its phalanX to Ottawa pledged
to stand by the French nationality and
the Catholic religion.
Of course there are Catholics in On
tario and Protestants in Quebec, which
elements, in true mathematical style, l
allow to cancel each other; and many
professional politicians would doubtless
weather the first storm and make mad
fight for it, but the desired success of
the agitation would eventually reach
the above position. Owing to the Supe-
rior drill of the church forces they
would get first, and not unlikely second,
and even third blood; but finally, did
the agitation continue, the numerical
superiority of the Protestant section
must overtop their opponents and give
them a majority in the house of COM
mons.
What would then occur is apparent.
After bitter. vindictive, possibly not
bloodless, campaign, lasting with in
creasing hate and growing malice
through many years-a religious civil
war that would divide neighborhOods
and rend families-it is hardly to be eX-
pected that the struggle stained major
ity would be superbly calm or mOrbidly
considerate. If these should have in
tbey would strip the Roman Catholic
church of its ancient privileges and I'M
munlties with hasty hands, and the
times would be gracious indeed if they
should 90 no further or not NEEDLE with
the bulwarks of French nationality.
The course of the Catholic minority is
equally plain. If rebellion meant bloody
war in the name of mother church and
new France they would rebel. But re-
bellion would simply mean negotiations
at Washington and the substitution of
the stars and stripes for the Union Jack.
1t is true they might be compelled to
give up some of the privileges granted
them by the treaty of Paris, but it
would be choice between sacrificing a
portion in an alliance with friendly
people or having the whole wrenched
from their fingers by victorious ma
jority, with whom they had been in
long. bitter conflict. And who is there
that knows anything of cisatiantic poll
tics. its close counts and its shady bar
gaining, but believes that the Catholic
hierarchy could speedily buy back these
lost privileges in exchange for state
vote? And who is there that is more
familiar with the political market than
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy itself?

NEW STORY OF LINCOLN.
How He Chopped Wood and
Cheered the Wounded Soldiers.


New York Tribune.
Here is one of the latest eff President
Lincoln's stories, told few days prior
to his assassination. 1t has never before
appeared in print:
During President Lincoln's second
visit to Richmond after its capture, and
only a few days prior to his melancholy
assassination" said DR.. T. B. Hood, of
this city, she paused at City Point to
visit the Union hospitals, which were
much crowded and contained some 5000
patients. While awaiting the ar
rival of OnOther surgeon. who, like my
self was going to escort him through
the place, Mr.. Lincoln and l stood for
a few minutes near one of the wood
piles where one of the detailed men
was busily engaged in chopping wood.
Asking the man to lend him the ak for
moment, the president, to my great
astonishment, proceeded in the most
scientific manner to chop off about
foot from the end of good
sized log, swinging the ak around
in powerful manner. which
I would hardly have expected in
a man of his Sedentary habits. Smiling
pleasantly, he handed the AK back to its
owner, thanking him for its use; and
the latter, who had looked on approx
You have chopped wood before. sir,
see."
so, yes responded the president,
sPve chopped good deal of wood in my
time, my man.
when the soldier found out who the
woodchopper was and whose service he
had commended, he was much aston
ished, and vowed that he would keep
the precious ak as one of his choicest
possessions as long as he should live.
The ak became quite a celebrated i'm
plement in the hospitals at City Point,
and the soldier was offered large sums
of money for it; these offers, however,
he Indignantly refused, and took 1t home
with him, where it is, doubtless, treas
ured to this day as one of the brightes
Jewels Of his house.
presently, upon the arrival of my
brother surgeon" continued DIR. Hood,
we accompanied our distinguished
guests through the hospitals. Those
who were able to stand were formed
in parallel lines, between which Mr..
Lincoln passed, shaking hands with
each one, while we paused at many of
the beds and the president addressed
kindly and cheering words to many of
the unfortunate sufferers. Finally we
arrived at the bed side of Lieut.. Col.
Shepherd. of Massachusetts regiment,
whose leg had ampuJated two or three
days before. This gallant officer was
coolly smoking a cigar, and after he
had been presented to Mr.. Lincoln he
remarked quietly, pointing to the re-
naming portion of his bandaged limb:
"'You see, Mr.. President, Pm rather
out of the regular line of advance for
the present, and if you could give me
little comforting news about the condi-
ton of affairs you would be comforting
