WHO will defend little Johnny Davenport, now that Conkling is no more?

SI'BAUUE can repair his shattered fortunes on '.he ltcture platform if he so desires.

'I'MAT German professor ran from Sprague's shot gun and blushed to find it fame.

A COUNCIL ot Senators and Governors ought to sit on and adjust this Narragamett Pier unpleasantness.

TfifcRB is ho truth in the report that Gordon, Lamar nnd Blaine have united in a letter of condolence to Conkling.

IN a very distressing way Senator "Conkling seems not to have understood the difference between meum and tuum.

A LITTLE more Bnipe bhoi. next time, Governor Sprngue. And, Oh yes! don't forget, on any account, to pull the trigger.

As proud a3 Lucifer, Roscoe's falj seems to have been from as high a point and quite as hard as that of the mythical son of the morning.

FOR general purposes a 6hot gun can not be recommended as an cducator, but there are times and circunibtances where it would teem as if nothing else could pOfbibly take it* place.

THE Mississippi plan seems to have found a lodgement, feeble and insecure to be sure, but still a lodgment, in New England. It seems to work pretty wellthough don't it, Rorcoe?

THOUGH it is tns home and the proper place for his summer abode, Utica will probably be a very disagreeable place ior Senator Conkling to visit much during the next few months.

IT would be just like some of those Rebel Brigadiers to refer to this Narragar.sett Pier unpleasantness next winter when Roseoe is ingulding in his loftiest strut and airing hi' most intolerable insolence.

THAT Five Points fellow who has been trading for twu years on a supposed reputation for having been in his palmy days the wickedest man in New York, will have to pull down his sign now. Roseoe has the floor.

THE first press dispatch from Narragansett Pier giving an account of Sprague't trouble with the German pro'tsbor, in which Conkling appeared in the role ot kn accidental peace-maker, was written by Rofcoe himself. ••HnHMMMMi

I Was at Biliingtoti's Cafe that Conkling ate little-reck clams after his masteily march fitm the Sprague mansion. He seems to have found it an*exccilent retreat. The tact of the matter is Roseoe htis been billing t^o much.

WHEN ex-Governor Sprague ordered him off his premises and told him never ic make his appearance there*gain, Lord Roseoe is represented as haling turned white with rage. He seemed to have an idea that Sprague ought toenjiy being scandalized. —Wag— $ '-"0 now, for ever, Farewell the tranquil farewell contend Farewell the turkey strut, and the big words, That make ambition virtue!

PREMONITORY symptoms of another malignant attack of hysterics are visibl the editorial columns of' *the

GAZETTE'S erratic, but always esteemed morning contemporary, but the disease has not yet arrived at the frenzied headline or the

udeep

answers deep" stage.

Would you believe it reader? th's cheer, ful organ claims that the Notional Fiatic party i* gainine in West Virginia and Kentucky. The grave yard wherein the rag-baby lies buried, and through which our contemporary passing, must be unusually dismal judging from the vigorous way in which it whUtles to keep its courage up.

CONSIDERING his insufferable arro. gance and insolence remembering his quarrelsomeness and amazing faculty for getting into disputes on questions of veracity not forgetting his really bruta* treatment of his own estimable familv, and his brazen impudence in bringing dishonor on another, (for attention such as he has shown to the wife of Senator Sprague in the absence of her husband and to the neglect of his own family is dishonoring) the country at large would not have been inconsolable if Sprague, who seems to be slow to anger and greatly merciful, had sprinkled the person of the lcrdly Senator with a pound or go of bird shot.

NEEDED LAWS.

A perpetual money oligarchy, with power passing from lather to son, in control of tiie legislature of a republic, is as heartless a tyrant, and as incompatible wltd constitutional liberty as ihe most arbltary despo tlmt ever exercised sovereign power.—1JAZKTTK'S Unhappy Morning centeuiporaiy.

The danger which the GAZETTE'S gloomy but esteemed morning contemporary fears is imminent. Immediate recourse must bo had to legislation or we peiish. In this matter we purpose to march hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder with our esteemed contemporary. llaply our first efforts may succeed in averting the catastrophe which otherwise likely to engulf u» in hideous ruin. We beg to suggest the enactment, with heavy penalties attached, of the following remedies: 1. An act repealing an act entitled "an act establishing primogeniture, and giving to the eldest born son all the property, real or personal, of which any parent may be possessed, cutting off all other heirs with a shilling and superceding all v* IIIs." 2. A law compelling a man to have children according to his wealth say one child for every $5,000 worth of property, or fractional part of that sum. 3. A law compelling the children of rich people to be ignorant of business and less "on the make" than their fathers. (The late Samuel McDonald was a model in this respect. His style prevents the perfect organization of a "perpetual money oligarchy.") 4. A sliding scale law allowing poor people to cherish affection for their offsprings and bequeath to them the truits ot theii labor, but foi bidding shy locks to establish a "perpetual money oligarchy'' by giving their children anything which they may have acquired. 5. A law forbidding the expensive and disgraceful contests over the wills Of pcor people, which are a standing menace to liberty, and compelling the heirs of rich testators to "Fight like devils for conciliation And hate each other for the love of (jrort. 6. A law confiscating all property over a certain amount which any man may acquire, and a general division of property every tenth year, to be known as the year of jubilee. (This will encourage thrift.) 7. A law disfranchising any man who owns property worth over $ ,000. Let taxpay .'ng be the share of property holders in the government of the country.

S. A law- drafting into the army all men who possess over $5, coo worth of property. No evasion of this law by having a substitute, should be possible, no matter how anxious some poor ir.tn may be to hire out in that service.

These few laws are eminently just, and would everlastingly crush the "perpetual money oligarchy with powers passing from father to son."

U. S ELECTION MARSHALS. Every passing day given additional cmphesis to the importance of the issues) raised by the Democrats in the extra session of Congress. Against the obnoxious laws which the Democrats failed to repeal though they did succeed in rendering them inopsrative for season, the people will te asked to vote next year. The questions raised in that extra session will constitute the main issues of the next Presidential campaign. Democrats have every reaeon to feel satisfied witn their position. United Stases Marshals and deputy Marshals and soldiers are not needed and are not wanted about the polls. In this statement we believe the sentiment of a vast majority of the people is echoed. At any rate the will of the people will be ascertained at an early day, and the law must be. made to conform to their soveieign will

How the law has operated during the past few year6 is partially told by the New York Herald in a short editorial article, which we copy in this place:

The Congressional investigation into the election in one of the Cincinnati districts has brought out very clearly the partisan use which is made of the "deputy marshals for election purposes and will increase the regret of wise men of both parties that the Elections Marshals

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

law was not repealed. It is law singularly liable to abuse, and the testimony taken Cincinnati shows that it was shamelessly abused by the Republicans there. The Elections Marshals were used not to keep the peace at t^e polls, but to electioneer for the Republican candidates, and by various and devious means increase their vote. It was shown, moreover, that the provision that these political marshals shall be appointed in every case from the voters of the precinct where they .ire to serve was violated, and the partisan electioneering agents with marshal's badges, paid by the public treasury to perform a public service, but in fact working for their own side, were chosen in Republican wards and sent to electioneer at Democratic polls.

What sort of men are selected by a partisan marshal for such electioneering work at the public expense was shown in the Philadelphia investigation. It was proved there that the Republican marshal not only selected unscrupulous and notorious partisans, who spent their time as deputy marshals in electioneering, but several of them were drunk on election day one was detected in voting twice one wa6 a jail bird, who had served two terms, once for highway robbery and once for shooting a colored boy another had been under arrest for five different robberies another, a notoriously dangerous character, had been tried for murder another, a colored man, was the keeper of a gambling house yet another was the keeper of a low drinking house another had been repeatedly in the house of correction for drunkenness another, again a colored man, was the keeper of a house of ill-fame, and so the list goes on. All were Republican politicians.

Senator Bayard was undoubtly wise when he urged the Republicans to help to repeal the Elections Marshals law, and held that no party ought to be trusted with such power when in ponession of the government, and that the Republicans would some day keenly regret their opposition to the repeal, because the law was necessarily corrupting to them and would be to the Democrats if they should ever get power. In resisting the repeal at the extra session, the Republicans put themselves in the wrong befote the country, for they cannot defend such scandals as the investigations are uncovering.

OF A

FATAL TERMINATION FEUD. It will be remembered by the readers of the GAZETTE what a serious conflict there was in East St. Louis two years ago about the Mayoralty, the Bowman and so-called Metropolitan factions almost coming into actual collision on several occasions. The matter had almost been been forgotten by the public and things were passing off quietly so far as could bo seen, but it seems that some of the private feuds engendered then were longer lived than the more important unpleasantness out of which they grew, and it was the fatal culmination o^ one of these that 6et the city wild with excitement Sunday and made the people tremble lest the old war about the mayoralty had broken out afresh. But it proved to be a private quarrel between one John Sullivan, and a policeman, William Wallace. The former was au adherent of Bowman and the lattcr'was a Metropolitan in. the quarrel of two years ago, and the present affair was the termination of a bitterness then engendered. The following is an account by an eye witness and is taken from the Globe-

Democrat: ,, *i William Moran not only saw the shooting, but had a very hazardous experience, and has cause to remember the affair to his dying moment, for he was between the men all the tim« the firing was going on.

What was the first intimation you had of the trouble?" asked the reporter. "1 was sitting here in the saloon this morning, about io o'clock. I am a stranger and do not know many people here but the man they call Sullivan came in some time before the shooting commenced, with a revolver in his hand. He was drinking, and said he was going to shoot Corrigan, Superintendent of the Beef Canning Works, or that

0 a

of a policeman. I was going

to take the pistol away from him, but just as 1 was about to get up to do so, I saw the policeman coming up the sidewalk from the east toward the saloon. I believed there would be trouble if he came there at that time, and I told a young man in the room to go down and tell the policeman not to come up- ,here because there was a man here threatening to shoot him. But just then Sullivan stepped to the door and saw the policeman. 1 went out to see what was going on, and, just as I reached the sidewalk Sullivan, who still had his revolver out, spoke to Wallace and said, 'you were a great man for shooting your pistol off a year or so ago.' Wallace told Sullivan to put up his pistol, or he would arrest him for carrying concealed weapons. 'It is not concealed,' said Sullivan 'you see it here in my hand, and I defy you to draw your pistol.' The policeman had had his hand on his pistol, but he took it off when Sullivan kept advancing, and before I could think, he got behind me and fired two shots. I think he hit the policeman the first shot. Sullivan kept on the platform, and I was dodging about to keep from being hit. The policeman w'£8 cool, and went out into the street and got behind a buggy. He began to shoot, and when he had fired the third or fourth shot, Sullivan threw his pictol do#n by his side and says, 'He's got one In on me and I can't do nothing now. He then walked into the saloon and died in a short time."

Dr. Gregory reached the bedside of the wounded man at 9 o'clock in the afternoon and immediately proceeded to make a careful examination of the wounds. It was clearly eeen that the same ball had penetrated both thighs. The wound ended in the right thigh. The ball was discovered lodged square against the bone. Chloroform was administered and the ball removed. It was found completely flattened on the side next to the thigh bone, and must have gone against it with great force. It was impossible to ascertain whether there was a fracture if there is not, recovery lis reasonably certain. The Doctor

seemed to think the wounds n.ry severe, but thought that with proper nursing, Wallace would survive. He is very powerful man, about forty five yeais old, and of strong will. At midnight her was doing as well as he could be expected, and the family and friends felt quite hopeful. t1A ,-m.

——w——— a A WILLIAM E. CHANDLER. William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, a disciple, though not a relation of Zachariah Chandler, is in California' It will be remembered that Mr. Chandler is not unknown to fame as a traveler. He traveled South several years ago—in fact, to be particular about dates, when an unusual number of statesmen of all shades of political opinion made hasty journeys toward the South and on business which was not as innocent as agriculture, and which was supposed at the time to be not altogether disconnected with the safety and welfare of the country. Chandler, Wm. E., it will be remembered, while pursuing his predatory purposes in Florida—we think it was Florida, though it may have been South Carolina, or possibly Louisiana— was'" the recipient of a dispatch from that other Chandler, whose prenomen is Zachariah. Something has been heard of this telegram for it wa6 not in cipher and needed no key to explain its purport. It read: "If yon want any more soldiers or money telegraph me."

Well, tliis Chandler has latelv gone California. Far be it from the GAZETTE to assert or even so much as intimate that his visit has any political significance. It is true that Mr. Chandler is what has been vulgarly known as a wire puller, but those who connected his name with any such faculty have been enemies, and the wish has been with them father to the thought. He is a good man, and "4that person must be lost to all sense'of honor who finds in the purely accidental fact that there happens to be a rather warm political contest going on in that State at the time of his visitany cause for connecting the two events in a sinister way. Mr. Chandler is an American citizei and any person wearing that proud title should hope, might be permitted to travel where he pleases and when he pleases, provided he does not come from an infected district and is not trying to get into one without complying with quarantine regulations. New Hampshire is not infected, and Mr. Chandler has been ventilated so oltenjthat he might very properly be supposed to be free from disease,

Butallthisis merely an aside. MrChandler went and is now in California. What we desire to relate is the reception that was tendered hitn. This we find in the San Francisco Post, and what is appended is taken from that paper: xfy

Mr. William E. Chandler, the Secretaiy of the National Republican committee, arrived here last Wednesday, and the next morning Mr. W. E. Chandler, an Eastern acrobet and juggler, aleo reached this city from Chicago to fill an engagement at Woodward's gardens. Last evening our State Central Republican committee, assisted by many prominent Republicans tendered the former distinguished politician a dinner at the Palace Hotel, at which there was represented an imposing array of political and financial bigbugsof the party. After the steak-wrestling and knile-swallowinghad in a measure subsided, the company braced back in their chairs, closed their eyes in the attitude of earnest attention, and the speeches began. Fourteen wellknown politicians said that never in the whole course of their public caresr had they been called upon to do justice to an occasion more fraught with, etc., etc. Eleven heavy capitalists felt proud of the opportunity "of extending a characteristic California welcome to one whose eminent services, etc., etc. Eight editors remarked that as what had been already said had been on the whole so well said, they felt that nothing remained for them bat to join in extending the right hand of fellowship to one whose signal abilities, etc.

The occasion of all this oratorical taffy encased the edibles and surrounded the Roederer with a heartiness that did the souls of his enteriainers good, and when the toast of the evening, '*Our Distinguished Guest," was drunk, he steadied himself by placing one hand on the Websterian forehead of Superintendent Dod^e, and the other on Senator Sharon's virgin dome of thought, and responded as follows:

GENTLEMEN, MY DEAR BOYS: I really am-er-knocked endways by this way-up-blow-out. You do me proud, l've-er—hearn tell that you California fellers treated Booth and Jefferson and them big bugs of thtir professhun bang up, but 1 didn't know you came out so allfired strong on us variety people. However, 1 claim to be "The Only Chandler," and I can get away with any man in my line of business that walks on legs. There ain't one of 'em kin keep fou, cannon balls in the air at the same imf__not one, I know. There's that little Dutchman— Klopheimer—who bills to do my hoop contortion act, but he's a

fraud,

gents,a perfect fraud. The hoop he crawls through with a glafs of water balanced ou his nose is just the same size as mine, I admit but then, it's a rubber hoop, and I can prove it. I'm going to have a benefit next Saturday evening, and I hope you'll all come. Onlv »ix bits for reserved seats. I will now" pass round the table with the tickets."

But before "The Great Senegambian Juggler" could consummate his frugal intentions he felt like one who trod alone a banquet hall deserted. The guests had quietly but firmly, lit out, and as we go to press the miserable committee, who had captured the wrong Chandler, are still hiding in the foot hills until the thing blows over.

THE MORMON qt'ESTTON. London. August 12.—The Times, discussing the reported impending circular from the United States, on Mormon immigration, says: The suggestion that European governments should exert their influence to prevent continued accessions of deluded adherents to Mormonrsm is easily made but as soon as we examine it we are confronted with new difficulties which would apparently impede its adoption. No European government can be otherwise than desirous that gross superstition should be dissipated but we do not see any way to direct interference though the emigrati-in commissioners might distribute tracts at our ports. Furthermore, if the United States should determine to forbid the landing of any Mormon it would be necessary for them to declare the profession of Mormonism to be an offense in itself, and to institute a kind of nquisition into the religious opinions of emigrants. It is scarcely conceivable that legislation should go this length. Yet such measures would alone be efficacious. Whatever may be done by Congress, the British Parliament would never give executive power to interfere with Mormon emigrants. When the suggestions of the United State.s are before us in detail, tkey may modify the impression produced by the telegram. At present we see many difficulties, and owners of the trans-atlantic lines may suggest others. Their obligations as public carriers may constrain them to take ail passengers who offer themselves.
