a Moses who had been raised up to
start this great crusade, and he thank

his ideas on the subject would be

men have been by doing so.

The Crash at ST. Johns.

HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 12.-Latest in
formation from St. Johns is to the Ell
feet that the worst fears of the effects
of the panic will be realized. The
Commercial Bank is a hopeless wreck,
and nearly all its directors, who were
among the principal merchants, are al
so bankrupt. Those familiar with the
inside facts have but little hope OF the
Union Bank resuming payments. The
panic has brought absolute chaos.
The people of the outports, who
brought their fish to St. Johns and got
cash for them, now find themselves the
possessors of worthless bank bills for
their whole summers work. All bust
ness is paralyzed and as the people OF
the whole island are absolutely DEEPEN
dent upon the merchants of ST. Johns
the state of affairs can be imagined.

A FUsILADE IN COURT.-There was
a sensational fight in the court room at
Hazard, Kentucky, Monday. The case
of the Commonwealth against Jesse
Fields and Joe Atkins, fortne murder
of Josiah Combs, was called. Combs,
who was an old man and ex-county
Judge, was murdered while standing on
the front porch of his house last sum-
mer, by the defendants. There were
several witnesses to the deed, but no
attempt was made to arrest the men,
since the officers knew it meant certain
death at that time, but later both men
were arrested and locked up. The
court room was crowded Monday and
there was much excitement from the
moment the jury began to be made up.
After hearing the evidence Judge Hall
directed that the accused must go to
Jail and instructed the sheriff to lock
them up. Immediately Fields drew a
pistol and fired, barely missing the
Judge. Officers in the court grabbed
him while the judge got out of the
h )use by the back way. With the as
sistance of friends Fields was released
and running out of the courtroom his
friends began firing into the house
where the judge had retreated. People
scattered in every direction and finally
Fields and Atkins left town. The court
was broken up and Judge Halls friends
advised him to resign, believing that
mountain desperadoes will kill him.

The mugwumps in New York hav'
ing, by casting:a solid vote for the re-
publican ticket there, elected it last
month, are now receiving their just
and well merited reward, for which all
tue democrats, every where, are truly
grateful, though some OF them don't
say so publicly. A glaringiy patent
example of that reward is exhibited by
the following excerpt from the New
York Press of yesterdays date:
attempts on the part of mugwump
organs to pose as independent jour
nails are ignominious failures. The
p o2le know what mugwumpery
means; and they know that these Or
gans more than any others were re-
sponsble for the indescribable woe and
suffering which Clevelandism has
brought upoa the country. The PEG,
pie are not likely soon again to heed
their councils or to follow their ideas of

MASSACHUSETTS having given the

test has become satisfied of its ineffi-
cheney, and of the two evils, license or
prohibition, yesterday wisely chose the
former, as the lesser, or rather, most OF

But now that New England has be-
come tired of and disguised with one OF
her own isms, there are people in Vir-

some, who advocate its adoption here.
In the earlier and better days of the
State, her people formulated her laws
and spurned those of other people, and
especially would they have rejected
those that had been tried and failed in
New England.

THE impression now seems to be that
the Nicaragua canal bill will be passed
by both houses of Congress, though it
is conceded that it is unconstitutional
and that it will tax the people of the
whole country for the benefit of a very
few. No body can give good reason
why democratic congressman should
favor it, and the republicans evidently
do so in order to make their political
opponents even more Objectionable to
the people than they are already; and,
besides, most of the immense expendi-
ture will be made under republican
rule.

 He is at the Aztec house, by cour- tesy of MT. Emanuel, and was busily engaged this afternoon in unpacking his large boxes preparatorylto making his first experiments with the Arizona heavens tonight.
 He was driven through the district by c. B. Tarbell, and expressed him. self as much pleased with our superb climate. He is enthusiastic over our clear atmosphere, and made the error so common with all new corners oi reckoning the distance to the Ora goon mountains at six miles, while in reality 1t is twice that distance to the foot hills and three times to the sum init.
 pr. Douglas says that he had in- tended to go to Prescott first, but hearing so much of Tombstone's climate concluded to make his first observations here.
 The locstian of the observatory, wherever it may be, will mean the employment of Q large number o! men.
 The gentleman will leave on Satur. day for Tucson, and from there will go to Phenix and Prescott. His observa- tions will be made tonight on the grounds adjoining the Aztec house.
