A\ THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1872. FOREIGN. Thiers Willing to. Make Reason- able Concessions to Pre- serve Harmony, No Opposition to His Con- tinuance in Office Four Years. Government Inquiry Into Halian Emi- gration to the United States. Destractive Hurricane in Wales, FRANCE, Panrs, Nov. 22.—Thiers will attend a meeting Lo-day of the Committee of the National Assem- bly eppointed to prepare a reply to his message at the opening of the Assembly. The Commit- tee, in their address, will demand of the Presi- dent the appointment of a responsible Ministry ; that he shall not participate in debates in the Asgembly, and thathe shall communicate with that body by message only. These points will be strongly contested by the adherents of Thiers ‘when the reply is presented to the Assembly. All reports agree that there will be no-oppo- sition to the prolongation of M. Thiers’ term of office for four years. Panis, Nov. 22.—President Thiers to-dey told several of his friends who called npon him that ke would make all reasonsble concessions to se- cure harmonyin_the Government; but that it was impossible for him to relinquish his well- known convictions. The President this morning Teceived a deputation from the party of the Left Centre in the Assembly, consisting of Messrs. Casimir Perrier, Laboulsye, and Picard, to whom he said he was with them in opinion, but the first question to be settled was now between bimself and the Committco appointed by the Assembly to draw up a reply to Em message. Pazis, Nov. 22—Evening.—At a meeting of the members of the Left Centre, to-day, M. Picard, an ntimaie friend of President Thiers, was chosen Chairman in_ place of General Chaney, who had resigned on account of his official duties. The selection of M. Picard as presiding officer will serve to_strengthen the gooq understading between the party and the resident. The Committes 2ppointed by the Assembly to draw up the project of electoral law, made their zeport to-day. They recommend that the age of twenty-one be retained as s qualification for the exercise of the franchise; that the soldiers in active rervice be disqualified from voting, and that the officers of the army be permitted to vote only when placed on reserve. The present law incidentally dis- franchises large classes of citizens, who by the army law are compelled to_do military service until the age of 25. It will undoubtedly give rise to a heated debate. Pagrs, Nov. 22.—President Thiers appeared before the Assembly Committee on the ‘f dress, and spoke for an hour and & half, He urged them to terminate the present stato of indecis- ion, reiterated his opinion that a Republic was indispenseble, ‘and’ declared that he was willing to accept the principle of Ministerial responsibility and & parliamentary system which would not comletely exclude him from debate. The President will attend the sitting of the Committes to-morrow. _ The Left Centre has drawn up = bill, prolong- ing Thiers’ present term four years, providing for a Vice President, who ehall succeed the President in case of resignation or death—the President and Vice President to be re-eligible to the office only for a second term. One- third of the Assembly will be renewed annually; the President to be entitled to sus- pend the promnlgation of bills passed by any Assembly unti] after the annual election; then, if the Assembly insists on the law, it must be promuigated. It is understaod ihat this project of law meets with the approval of President iers. g, GERMANY, Benuiy, Nov. 22.—The German Government, replying to the invitation of Great Britain to asgist in the suppression of the elave trade, on the Eastern coast of Africa, says it will give all moral and diplomatic support in its power to the movement, and will in- struct the German Consuls in Africa and Zanzibar to place their means at the disposal of the expedition now fitting ont in England. The Emperor is determined to carry out his intention of increasing the membeeship of the Tpper House of the Diet by the creation of a number of Eeere. A list of names of new peers ‘will be published early next week. The North German Gazelle advocates the construction _of a railway from Hamburg to TLuxhaven. It says the harbor of Luxhaven is deep, never freezes over, and possesses other natural advantages, which reuder it superior to rival Dautich ar; ian posts. Berrrs, Nov. 22.—The Country Reform bill passed its second reading in the Lower House of the Dief to-d.flla'. All the amend- ments proposed by the Progressive and Conserv- ative parties bave been rejected, and the bill 28 submitted by the Government has been adopted to and including the 83rd section. The debate on the remainder of the bill will continue to-morrow. ———— GREAT BRITAIN.

Decrease of Small-Pox in St. Louis, Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. 8. Lous, Nov. 22.—The small-pox is fast dis- sppearing from St. Louis, and only isolated cases are now and then reported. The number of deaths for the week ending to-dayis just one- half of that for the &efiou week. At no time has the mortuary lists been larger from this cause than in several other cities. The death rate at the height of the disease was never over one person in 4500, which is. it must be ‘admitted, » complete refutation of the absurd rumors eent from here unler the influence of unreasonable alarm or ‘malicions mischief. The exaggerated stories of the prevalence of the disense have in no wey affected businees, and the hotels and wholesale houses have continued to be crowded all throngh the fall. It is & positive fact that the city to- day i8 in better sanitary condition than ever, and no contagions or infectious diseases of any kind are more prevalent than is usual in_every large city when the poor are thickly huddled together in winter quarters. —_—— JAY GOULD. Arrest of the Ex«President of the Erie Railway—The Company Sues to Re= cover About Ten NMillions Alleged to Have Been Unlawfully Withheld by Him—He Gives Bail in One Miilion. New Yomx, Nov. 22.—At Inst the new Erie Dx_xectors are able toact. Thisafterndon, at the suit of P. H. Watson, President of the Erie Reil- way, Jay Gould has been arrested. The warrant was issued by Judge TFancher, of the Bupreme Court, and is based on an affidavit which charges Jay Gould with wrongfully taking to his own usge, while in control of the Irie Railroad, £9,500,000 of money belong:ng to the Eriestock- holders. Tho suraties in the order of arrest are Butler Duncan and Wm, R. Travers. i At 8:40 p. m. Jay Gould presented himself at the Bhenfl's office, accompanied by Augustus Schell and Horace F. Clarko, who Lad consented to become euretios on his bail bond, the bail being fixed at $1,000,000. Each of the bondsmen justified, whereupon Gould was re- leased by the Sheriff, ~The counsel for the Erie Tailway, however, will object to the sureties, on the ground that’they should have justified in one million each. The affidavit of President Watson, of the Erie Railway, ayers that that Company has cause of action against Jay Gould for more than the sum of 997265419, to which interest is to 'be =added; that such camse of action arises from the fraudulent detention, em- bezzlement, end misapplication of the moneys and property of gaid Company; that Gould, while acting as President and Treasurer of said corporation, has been guilty of fraud in incurring the obligation” for which this mcticn 1is brought; that, at the sume time, Gould was 8 co-partner with Henry N. Smith, Henry H. Martin, and James B. Buch, under fhe firn name of Smith, Gould, Martin & Co., bankers and brokers, and the agents and brokers of the Erie Compsny ; and that all the moneys claimed as having been at any time to the credit of said Erie Company on tup books of said firm were re- ceived for said Railway Company during the time Gould was_its President and Treasurer; that at various times from the 8d of August, 1868, to the 9th of November, 1869, the said Erie Company created and issued 407,347 shares, of the par value of $40,784,700, increas- ing its capital stock, exclusive of preferred stock, to S75,000,000; that in the issue of said stork Gould took =& prominent and active part, as an officer and Director, and that it was issued directly to him 25 President and Tressurer, or to eaid firm of Smith, Gould, Martin & Co., 28 agents and brokers, to be converted into cash for the ben- efif of the Erie Company. That the aforesaid stock under Gould’s direction produced after de- ducting chargos and commissions $12,808,059.23, which sum was received by said &8 appears from their books, and that while said firm has accounted in cash for this amount to said Gould, shid Gould has frandulently received & largo part of theé net proceeds of “eaid stock, to wit, the sum of £4,99,132.93, as appears by gaid .books, and converte: and applied the same tfo his own use; that by reason of sales of stocks and other gfoperty of the Erie Company, by Smith, Gould, artin & Co., there appeared on their books on the 18t of August, 1869, the further sum of $3,- 061,700.15 justly due the Erie Company, without deduction or offset; and that on that day, by ex- press direction of Jay Gonld, it was transferred to his individual credit upon the false and frandu- lent I?mtence that the Erie Company was Jargely indebted to_him, and that he would account to them for said sum, when, in fioint of fact, Gould was then. largely indebted to said Com- pany. this transfer was - made for the purpose of repaying to said firm the ’losses then recently = made by snid Gould in a speculation in gold, carried on ‘by him and for his individual account, and as be- tween himself and snid firm, a8 appears by their regular looks of accounts, thewhole of thig sum thereupon become payable to said Jay Gould ind.ividnal.lly, and he there- by fraudulently embezzled and misapplied the moneys of gaid railway, for which he is lia- ble as nmember of the firm, and as President and Treasurer of the Erie Railway Company ; also, that on or about the 16th of November, 1868, Gould commenced specnlation on his indi~ yidual account in the shares of said TLrie, purchased a large number of shares of said stock through said firm, upon which he had then & very large loss, arising from a depreciation of the market value of such ghares after purchase; that to relieve himself from this loss, and frandulently to throw upon {he Erie_Company the burden of his private speculations and loss, and in about the month of July, 1869, _said Gonld, throngh his agents and attorneys, collu- sively, and as deponent believes, by & fraud upon the Court or one of its Judges, pro~ Ccured an order purporting to authorize the Erie Company or its officers to repurchase in the market, for the purpose of cancellation, & large pumber of shares of said Cangany, heretofore issued by and under the approval of said Gould, but which, for the purpose of said spplication, were admitted to be illegally issued, and of doubtful validity, and that, in consummation of such fraud, eaid Gould caused 121,409 shares of said stock to be charged against the Erie Com- pany on the books of said firm on the 5th of Augost, 1869, at the aversge price of ~ 6147100 per share, smounting, in the saggregate, to $74,624,580, and the assumed cost of said shares was on thai day charged to the Erie Compeny on the books of the , in nominal satisfaction of moneys then belonging to said railway company in _the hands of Smith, Gould & Co., that thee* shares were only worth the sum of $29 per share, and large transactions were made in the market at that rate That Gould, by the devices above set forth, frandulently misapplied the monies of the Erie Company, and was thereby guilty of fraud upon sard Cnm]i‘my to the extent of £3,941,858, for ‘which farther sum, with interest, this action is. in part brought. That Gonld, been _in the _ early part engagedin speculation in shares of the Reading Railroad, and having lost $359,612, s appears by the books of said firm, on May 17 ordered said loss charged to the Erie Railway Company, and_on the -81st of December, 1869, transferred to his own account the further sum of $168,804.- 69.

Mr. Gibbs heard his son approach, and supposed he was only drawing nearer to hear the reading. The son is supposed to be temporarily insane.

The “Corners” in Gold and Northwest- ern Common. Review of the Produce Markets, Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. NEW YorE, Nov. 22.—The Stock Exchange has been in & whirl of excitement all dsy, from the very opening to the close, and the doy will be remembered in the history of the “‘street.” The business developeda sharp corner in both money and gold, at the very outset money commanding 2 per cent commission for the day'suse, and gold 13 per. cent. Both were gotten up as di- versions in favor of parties shortof certain shares of stocks, who thought to cripple the re- sources of the jubilant bulls, so a3 to compel them to release their hold. . Outside ‘of these elements of feverishness the markets had been quiet and uninteresting. The railroad speculation started off at about lnst nighi’s prices, but a sudden strength was developed, particularly under the Ieadership of ZErie,which,up to the1c’clock Board,had advanced {from 54% to 57%, due to a correspouding move- menton the London ’'Change. This asdvance, however, was exceptional, for, while the rest qf the market was steedy, prices conceded 3§ to 3¢ per cent, though Pacific Mail went off from 892§ to 8734, recovering to 883¢. The afternoon marked a lower range of prices after 8 o'clock, when Erie declined to 54 and Pacific Mail to 8634, the persistency of the decline in these shares dragging down other stocks which had recorded the highest price of the dasy when the decline in Erie and Pacific Mail set in. But_what_the market lost in the general de- cline, it made up in the sudden prominence ac- corded to Northwestern common, which here be- gan to assume that importance which its sub- sequent career justified. Up to this juncture the price had moved 8t Y8/@I5@100, but thenceforward it_absorbed~tho entire attention of the Stock Exchange, and threw every- body into a state of the wildest excitement. Not contented with an ordinary jump of two or three points at & time, it jumped ten to twenty points, and st the close, 4t 4 o'clock, 200 was bid by the luckless ‘‘shorts.” This corner ig without parallel since that famous one in Prai- rie du Chien in 1866. It was fortunate for the “atreet” that the sufferers by this brilliant ‘movement are men of wealth, and able to bear the immense losses entailed, otherwise such a severe advance must have forced many unfortu- nates to the wall, and created havoc on the Stock Exchange. GOLD, 0D, The interest in the gold-market has centered in the high rates paid for borrowing. An active demand from the *shorts” began early this morning, and by degrees the borrowmg rate was advanced till 13¢ per cent was gnid for daily use of gold. This is supposed to be & squeeze for the purpose of retaliation, gotten up by the par- ties who are short of Northwestern common, the Intter having been very severely crippled by the oxtraordinary advance in price of the shares yes- terday and to-day. It has, however, depended upon the co-operation of one of the Canada banks, heretofore conspicuous in movements of this sort. It is thought in other circles that the operationis designed to enablethe “ bulls” ingold to market their holdings. Latein the day the gold loan market became easier, and loans were made flat, final transactions being at 1-82@3-32 per diem. The price of gold made Bome eccentric fluctuations. Opening and closing transsctions, however, were made at about the same figures, viz.: 113%@118%4. ONET. The money market was characterized by stringency and high rates. The market opened with transactions at 1-16 and interest per diem, under & very urgent demand, and lenders had ho difficulty in obtaining 3¢ per cent for their loans, Later in the day, while exceptionally was paid, the closing rates being 7 currency@' old, but tending down. If as much cwrrency gna gone forward s is calculated at present by parties who are supposed to have a knowledge of the currency movement, the bank statement, considering that the last one was made on de- clining averages, will be unfavorable. There is little doing in discounts, which move on the basis of 1 per cent per month for prime acceptances. 4 PRODUCE. Flour closed quiet at the advance asked. Me- dium grodes heavy; family grades quiet and steady. Grain closes quiet; shippers hold of, 28 commercial exchange is unsalsble, Thé milling demand is fair for winter wheat, Prices of spring favor the buyer, but winter is better. Pork firm on the spot, with the stock of mess in the hands of one party. In s jobbing way, about 200 brls sold at 216.00 for mess and $15.! for prime mess. Cut meats guiet, with a job- bing business embracing 500 boxes; city smoked shoulders at 7@8c; do. hams at 1434c, also about 8,000 1bs pickled bellies at 83¢c. Bacon in mod- erato demand; 200 boxes clear for November gold at 8c. Lard quiet; 300 tierces sold at 85%c for Western to arrive this month, and 834c for city. t1‘!;“‘ Yorg, Nov. 22,.—The Z'ribune money ar- ticle says: : Very unexpectedly the market opened with a quick and eager demand for money and gold, the one commanding full a 3¢ per cent bonus per diem, while gold lent s high ss 13{ per cént, The two cormers were doubtless the direct emanation of one head, though ‘the scarcity of gold was due to the co-operation of one of tho Cansds bsnks. The squeeze to-dsy is understood by knowing ones t0 be the reeult of cogitations of the dis- tingnished operator who i8 heavily short of Northwestern common, but if concocted for the urpose of intimidating the prme moversin g{orthwestem, it sadly failed of euccess. For, hile this stock ruled practically quiet enough during the forenoon st 98@95, the afternoon brought with it sach & sudden jump s might well cause the most serious alarm among the unfortunate *shorts,” and, by oim time, the ‘‘great = Methodist reformer” must ‘‘know how it is himself.” The price advanced by rapid strides, several points at a time, until, at the close, 200 was bid, and the parties who had been led to gell these ghares at 80, on Wednesday, found themselves left ot in the cold. So complote has been the “corner,”_that nothing apparently remains un- done to givo it & greater success, and it stands alone and unparalleled in the historyof the street for the last few years, and vividly recalls the famous Harlem corner. A E. Lang, carried down by the Boston fire, has sottied 21l his liabilitios, and has been re- stored to membership at the Stock Exchange. It is ascertaieed that the Gould clique have the *“call” on 80,000 shares more than the whole capital stock of the Company, 80 that the North- western is not purchasable at any price except with the good will of tge holders ‘The expectation is general that the next move in the same will be an attempt on the part of Smith and his allies to obtain from the Supreme Court writs of injunction against the Stock Ex- change to prevent the buying in of the stock.

THE NORTH CAROLINA SENATORSHIP. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘WasmiNeToX, D. C., Nov. ceived here to-day from a prominent Republican of North Carolina says that, from the facts which have come to his knowledge, he is con- |* vinced that there is no hope for the election of s Republican to the Senate in place of Poole. That gentleman, it is stated, is negotiating with the Democrats, and affirms that he can get a sufficient number, 13, and that he will thus secure the election, if the Republicans will support him. The writeradds; ‘I Poole cannot purchase 13 Democrats to vote for him, it will be all right if he can only get them to absent themselves.” Thewriter has no confidence that either bargain will be made. From the ]graunt showing, Vance is ahead among the Democrats. If Poole and his friends will consent to vote for a bolting Democrat, he will have no difficulty in defesting the regular Democratic nominee. Poole is determined that if the Republicans fail to adhere to him, no Re- publican shall be elected. His ideais to make the best record for himself possible, and to force Emsel.f in the Cabinet of the incoming Adminis- ation. POLITICAL UTTERANCES OF THE NEW YORK PRESS, Special Deapateh o The Chicago Tribune. New Yorg, Nov. 22.—The Independent seconds Senator Brownlow’s proposition to re-elect Grant in 1876, stating its preference thus: *“If his second term should be what we expect, and earn-~ estly hope it will be, and the popular judgment should at the proper time point to him as the ‘best man for the place, then the fact thathe had twice_scceptably filled the Presidential office, would be no objection. to his re-election for & third term.” S The Express finds more comfort, in the vote for Greeley, than the other Democratic journals in New York. Itremarks that: ‘¢ Wo sball prob- ably never be able to convince the Bourbons roper, nor malcontents of a different kind, that g[r. Greeley was the right man for Democrats to support, but the fact remains, that he was not u%nd.ly beaten as Clay, Scott, McClellan, and many others, who in the past have been nomi- nated for President.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—The sentiment of pri- vate advices, to-dsy, from South Caroliniayseems to indicate that the money power is making it~ self felt in the Senatorial squabble there. EI- liott himself, being colored, relies entirely on race prejudice for his election tothe Senate. Ex-Governor Scott, however, is using the more otent influence of greenbacks, and the colored Elembers of the Legislature are reporting to this attraction. Sawyer is a candidate, ALABAMA LEGISLATURE, MoxTaonery, Ala. Nov. 22.—The Legislature at the Capitol met this morning. At 12 o'clock the two Honses met together, and Lieutenant Governor Moren proceeded to count the vo_!:e for Btate officers. The result will show & majority forthe Republicans of over 8,000, Owing to the fact that the Supervisors of Dallas County re- glorted a large majority for the Democratic can- idate for Auditor, which will elect him, the re- sult will not be declared until the Bupervisors have a chance to correct the supposed mistake. If it was s mistake, and is corrected, the Repub- lican candidate will have 8,000 majority._ The other body met, but did no businees of any kind. NEW ORLEANS POLITICS.

This is considered by those best informed regarding ‘matters in the Indian Terntory as the most ad- toward civilization ever taken by any of the Indian iribes, and it is thought by a great many that, should the Government not insist on a territorial organization other than that now existing, many of the tribes will follow the example of the Chickasaws.

How an Intoxicated Policeman, Ac« companied by a Reputed Burglar, Treated a Defenceless Woman. Officer Fanning, of the Harrison Strest Po- lice Station, was guilty of most outrageous con- duct on Thursday evening. His behavior was such as to call for his immediste dismissal from the force which he has disgraced, and 2lso for prompt and severe punishment at the hands of the Iaw. On the evening ‘mentioned, Fanning, accompanied by Dick Lane, an individual of unsavory reputation for honesty and kindred virtues, entered the cigar store at- tached to a house of ill-repute, on Taylor street, between Third avenue and State street. It is | said that he and his companion were consider- ably under the influence of liguor at the time, 2nd that, provious to entering the cigar stora, they had been making noisy demonstrations on | thestreet. The store was in charge of a &o\mg girl, Who Was in an extremely delicate condition, Fanning addressed her, veryroughly, and ordered ‘her,with great brutality, towait upon himself and friend. He acted a8'if conscious of the authority which his uniform conferred upon him. The girl, naturally anung}ix, refused to be driven, and made s reply which did nob come uwp to Fanning’s notions of the respect due him a8 a_member of the “police force. He accordingly proceeded to instruct her in polite- ness by kicking her in the stomach with all his might. The poor girl was rendered senseless by the terrible injury inflicted, and in her fall she overturned & stove, which at the time was foll of live coals. By this acéident she was severely burned, and the store was get on fire. The girl would have been consumed but for the assistance rendered by the inmates of the house and some of the meighbors, by whom the fire was axii:suished efore any material damage been done. - After realizin, the extent of the crime which he had committed, Fanning fled with his companion, and was not arres until lste yesterdsy afternoon. The keeper of the house immadntalg reported the cutrage to Captain Hickey. Superintendent Washl ‘happened to be present in the Har- rison Street Station when she apgsnmd, and heard the whole story. He and the Capiain visited the scene without deley, and found that the case was even worse than the woman's report had made it. The utmost confusion and disorder reigned about the premises, and the ex- citemént and indignation of the bystanders were such as to bode no good to Fanning, had he been present. The name of the girl who was hurtis ‘Annie Watson. Her condition is extremely pre- carions. The officer wasnot on daty when he committed the asssult. RECOGNIZED BY HIS RELATIVES. The Body of the lan Who Died at the County Hospital, from Wounds Ins flicted by Robbers, on Monday Evens ing, is Xdentified—e Proves to be a Respectable Citizen—Another Mur- der. TeE TRUNE of last Tuesdsy morning con- tained an account of the finding of a wounded 'man on Carroll street, near Desplaines, on the previous evening. He was suffering from a fracture of the skull, and appeared to have been robbed, &8, all the buttons were torn from his vest, and his watich-guard was cut and watch gone. No money could be found upon him. He was conveyed to the Coun- ty Hospital, where he died on Wednesday. Yes- terday the remains wera identified at the Morgue 88 those of Edward Dorvall, who was employed 88 & machinist in, Forsyth's Scale Works. He resided at 147 West Van Buren street, whers he leaves a wifo and family. _On Mondsy_evening Iast he left his home for Wankegan. ~ Not hav- ing heard from him on the three succeeding days, his family became anxious for his eafety, and yesterdsy his son, & telegraph operator in the Western Union office, went to nukegna in search of him. He discoved that his father had not been there atall, and then the fear seized him that perhaps the unimown man __ who was picked wup_ wounded on Monday evening, s _stated in the papers, might be his father. He tolegraphed his mother to search the hospitals, and In this way the remains were identified. Thére can be no doubt now but that the unfortunate man was mrudered for his watch and money, while on hia way to the Northwestern depot. At present the tragedy is enveloped in mystery, but' it i3 believed, now that the detectives have gained a clue, that something er ‘be known of it in & fow days. Decensed was _of French extraction, and 45 years of age. His family consisted of a wife, two danghters, and the son mentioned above. One of hi: dnut%htem is married to & gentleman named Brackotf, snd resides in Minnespolis.

Robinson, & carrier for Tae TRIBUNE and other city. ‘Fuspem, died snfldenlfi;l: front of No. 145 West Van Ba- ron street. His death is supposed to have been caused by heart disease. As the location of his late residence could not be ascertained, the body was taken to the Morgue. It is thought that de- ceased had no relatives in this city. An unknown man committed suicide at 8 o'clock last evening by jumping into the river from Indiana street bridge. Bgawu observed in the act by the bridge-tender, who hastened to his assistance as’ quickly as posaible, but was unable to rescie him, owing to the dark- ness. The body ~was_recovered and token ~ to the dead _ house, No. 64 Milwakee avenus, by Officor Johnson. Nothing was found upon deceased by which he could be identified. Constable Bartell, armed with an execution from Justice Haines' Court against Ed. Har- Taty, proprietor of asaloon mear Clark streot bridge, attempted to serve the document yester- day, and was repulsed with a horse- pistol in the and of the delin- quent. Bartell retreated for reinforcements and another warrant for the assault, and eventually succeeded in bringing Ed. into court. The latter was held in: bonds of $1,000 for trial. Bartell subsequently levied on Harraty’s stock to satisfy the execution. Harraty retali- ated procuring & replevin and having the Constable arrested for disorderly conduct. Thus the mixed-up matter rests at present. At & late hour on Thursdsy night a police officer fonnd & man laying in'the gutter st the corner of State and Adams street, and supposing that he was intoxicated had him_conveyed in a wagon to the Harrison Btreet Police Station. Arrived there, it was _discovered that_the man s de%and that life had been extinct some time. e body was accordingly taken to the Morgue, where 1t has since been identified a8 that of an unfortunate outcast named Bridges.

Two Choc- taw Indians, Benson Lafarge and Jackson Dar- ling—these are the E:flifih translations; I do not know the vernacular for them—owned 70 head of cattle in common. It seems that Lafarge s0ld 26 of these cattle to & man named Betersor, s German. Beterson paid for them according to contract, but in settling with his er, Lafarge kept 375 of the mone; ack. 'Darling met Boterson and sckeX. ‘him about the trade, receiving the information. that he had dp&id Lafarge every dollar that he- had promised to pay, bringing proof at the same time to make his words good. ~Darling was sat— isfied with Beterson’s explanation, butwentaway swearing vengeance against Lafarge. They met the next evening, about sundown, at the cabin, of an old Indian called Fatber Talking Pefer. Here they quarrelled and fought. Lafarge had a donble-barrelled pistol loaded with elugs, and Dn:!ing a large butcher-knife, about four inches in the blade. In the desperate scuffle the men ot 80 close to%ather that the powder from La- farge’s pistol burnt Darling’s ehirt, and Darling, though receiving the contents of both barrels in his breast, yet stood up long enough to stab La- farge five imes—twice in the abdomen. Both men were brought into this place within an hour or two of the killing, Not much foss waa made sbout it. Such work seemed to be fami- liar to most of the whites here, for my landlord, an old Santa Fe trader, turned away witha t when he was told of it, remarking: ‘Only two Injuns. They do things pow ueer, if is a fact, but they generally die game.” arling was dead before thtag brought him in, and Lafarge lived until the evening of the third day, with his bowels cut to pieces and ons lung almost completely severe: There was no Goroner's jury, or anything of the kind. The friends of each party came and carried the ‘bodies away, and the affair seemed to have been forgotten by the next day. ANl Quiet in Missonri.
