House the veto message of the President
upon the Army Bill, and it was real by
tho clerk. Little or no attention was

Oa the conclusion of tho reading of

the President, just read, he entered at
laueth on the journal, as required by the
Constitution of the United States, and

suggestions, relative to the policy that
should be adopted with reference to the
legislative blit Nothing definite is yet
foreahadowod, bnt an impression prevails
that the political clauses of that bill, as
well os a number of its ordinary Items of

amended by tbe Senate with a viow to ob

poses.

Washiroton, April 30.—The Demo
cratic caucus was held immediately after
the adjournment of the Honse to day
for the purpose of determining what ac
tion the majority should pursue on the
veto on tbe Army Appropriation bill.
Speech making was generally indulged
in, one of the principal speeches being
made by Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, who
held that since the President has inter
posed his veto on the Army Appropria
tion bill. Congress should make no war
or factions opposition to the clearly de
fined constitutional power on his part.
Supplies should not he withheld from the
army because of the President’s failure
to sanction the measure as it passed
Congress. The appropriation bills, he
thought, onght to be passed, if need be,
by themselves severally, and the political
questions now embraced in tho appropri
ation measures be taken up and proper
measures oovering them be passed in sep
arate and distinct bills. If the President
then should seo fit to interpose his veto,
the question, as far as the army is con
cerned, will he put fairly before the
country for the people to decide. He
advocated the passage of measures wbich
would relieve the overtaxed masses of tho
people and revive the prostrated indus
tries of tbe country.
It was finally agreed that the army
bill ahonld again pass, notwithstanding
the objections of the President, and that
a vote be taken on the measure to-mor
row without debate. But it is intimated
that the sixth section, the point at issne,
will bs introduced modified somewhat
from its present shapo and passed as an
independent measure.

Atlanta, Ga., April 30.—In the Cox
case to-day the remainder of the jnry
was obtained from the country panels, it
is considered favorable to the proBesn-
tion. State Treasurer Bsnfros was pat
on the stand and subjected to a rigid
examination, oocsnmtng the balance
of the day. Ha testified that Alston
was in tho Treasury when the witness
returned frem dinner in company with
the clerk Mnrphy, and C. B. Howard, tbe
purchaser of the Gordon intereet in the
convict leaec. They left soon after and
Alston departed immediately following,
after saying to the messenger sent to him
from Cox to go and tell Cox that he (a*-
ston) had reconsidered the m-tttir and
wonld not meet him; to tell C.x to go his
way and he (Alston) wonld go his; that
it wonld do neither any good to kill the
other. Alston was gone eight or ten
minntes; in the meantime Cox came hur
riedly in with his hand on his pistol half-
cocked in his pocket; he discovered that
Alston was not there and went away; Al
ston passed on to the street and came
back almost immediately after Cox
left; witness asked Alston to take a
seat; Alston did so and said: “This
is awful to have a man hunting yon like
this.” Witness asked Alston, “Didn’t yon
just meet Cox?” Alston replied, "No,
he has gone np stairs hunting me now.”
Peter, the colored porter, said: ‘There
he comes down the Blairs now.” Alston
told Peter to olose the vestibule door.
Cox shoved past Peter and entered,
excited still, with bis hand on Ms pistol.
Alston rose with uplifted hands, and
went to meet Oox at the door, saying:
"Cox, let ns atop this. I do not want to
kill yon, nor do I want yon to kill me. It
Is no nse." Cox insisted that Alston had
not met him as promised. Witness told
them not to have any difficulty there.
As they paid no attention he ordered them
ont. Cox took Alston by the arm and
said: "Come outside and settle it.” Als
ton palled baokand went and sat down in
a chair. Cox oloeed the inner door, keep
ing his right hand on his pistol and
watching Alston over his ahonlder. Wit
ness insisted on their not having a diffi
culty. Oox apologized for dosing tbe
door, and said: ‘Tala matter haagot to be
settled here and now.” Nelms, the prin
cipal keeper of the penitentiary, here
entered, and witness appealed to him to
prevent a difficulty. Alston said to Cox:
I will not have any difficulty with you
unless I am forced to.” Cox said, "Then
I will force yon.” Some demonstration
was made by Cox; witness heard Alston
say twice, "Cox, are you going to shoot?
Cox are yon going to shoot me now ? ’
He did not hear Cox’s reply. Alston
rose from his chair, and with his head
hung down, crossed the floor. Cox
crossed a little behind on a parallel line.
Alston enddenly wheeled and drawing
his revolver presented it. Cox had
his in his hand re ady. They
fired at the same moment. Al
ston tired a self • cocker twice,
rapidly. Oc three shots neither
took effect. Alston fired again, stepping
to the right at eaoh fire, Cox dodging
and stepping to his right, trying to use
bis pistol. Alston’s fourth shot bit Cox
in the mouth. At his sixth effort the
pistol snapped, when Cox rose, took a
long step forward, placed his pistol to
Alston’s temple and fired. Alston reeled
and fell. Cox laid down the pistol, re
marking : "We are both dead men.” Al
ston was calm and conciliatory. Oox
was more exoited and determined in man
ner. Alston did not show that be had a
pistol until he drew and fired. Witness,
just before the firing, thought the fight
was about abandoned. The pistol Alston
had belonged to witness and clerk Morphy
Mnrphy and Howard were interested m
the convict leases.
Defendant's counsel were severe in
their cross examination, developing also
that a part oi rue line o. defense would
be to eat blub a conspiracy to kill Cox.
They would prove toot M irphy far*
Diebed Alston with toe pistol, and
Murphy and Howard, daring
the fight, were concealed in the dark
room of the Treasurer’s office, coming ont
immediately after, and Mnrphy securing
the piBtol used by Alston, and that How
ard asked at once that nothing be said
about their being m the room. The the
ory of the defense is that Cox was hunt
ing Mnrphy on tho lease busmess. and
not Alston ; that Alston draw a pistol and
fired without demo->,:ra:;oc from C;x lo
warrant the at a and teat C x was
fortunate in eaviog bis ova life by tak
ing Alston’s in edf-defense. Tbe pris
oner exhibits deep anxiety. Important
and unexpected testimony is looked for
to-morrow. Tho court refuses to allow
the publication of the official testimony.

Enquirer-Sun: Cu Sunday morning Gov.
Colquitt visited St. Luke Sunday school
and gave the soholars a little talk. He
was introduced by Bev. J. O. A. Cook,
the pastor. Gov. Colquitt said in sab
stanoe as foliowb : "I was a scholar ia

ago, sot in this ohnrob, bnt In the old

speeches, I never lose an opnortunity to
say something to the little oner. Though
I cherish the sweet memories of this

the entertainment by the children
Friday night, which I much en
joyed, among forty or fifty names

two or three familiar ones. With
all of my love of children, at this age, I

Mzxobial Dat in Milledgevillo was
celebrated with much spirit. The Union

eloquent oration of Captain C. P. Craw

After mnsic by the choir, the henedic-

proceeded to the grave of their late com
mander, Captain B B. Herty, and fired
the nsnal salute. The same respect wbb

the Confederate soldiers’ monument.

Public High Schools — Shall
They be continued ?
This question is now extensively agi
tated in several States, and the lower
Honse of the Hlinoie Legislature has
passed a bill enabling the townships of
that State to abolish their high sohools.
The matter is under discussion in New
York and New Jersey aleo. The preva-
ent idea is that a plain English educa
tion is all that the people require, and
more than this shotud be paid for by the
parties themselves. Bnt so did not think
President Thornwell, of South Carolina
College, who possessed one of the grand'
eat intellects America ever produced, and
was, himself, a profound scholar and
skilled educator. His equally distin
guished biographer, Ber. Dr. B. M. Pal
mer says of Mm, "he was a zealous advo
cate of common school education among
the masses; bnt firmly held to the opin
ion that knowledge, after all, is diffused
by its own law of descent from above, be
low—percolating through Booiety from
tbe sariaos to the lowest bed beneath.
Hencs he labored to promote the Mghest
education among the few, as the surest
way to quicken and enlighten the less
favored masses." Bnt hear tbe learned
President himself, in a letter to Governor
Manning in 1852,
"Every eduoated min is a oentra of
ligbt; and hia example and Inflnenoe cer
ate the consciousness of ignorsnoe and
cue sense of need, from wbieh elementa
ry sohools have sprang. Defective cul
ture ir never nonsoious of itself, until it
is brought in oontaot with superior power.
There may be a oonvictien of ignorsnoe,
in reference to speoial things and a desire
for knowledge ae the means of accom
plishing partionlar ends; bnt the need of
luteileotaal improvement, on its own ao-
aount, never is awakened spontaneously.
* * • Hence, it Is knowledge whiob
creates the demand for knowledge, whioh
causes Ignorance to be felt as an evil;
<*nd henoe ills the eduoatlon, In the first
instance of the few, whioh has awakened
the strong desire for the illumination of
tbe many. Let knowledge, however, be
came stagnant; let no provision be made
i'or the oonsiant activity of the highest
order ot minds, in the highest spheres of
speculation; and the torpor wonld be
-•ommnnicated downwards until the whole
ocmmnnity was benumbed.”
Thus spake the great Thornwell,
and he was right in the abstract, though
many sagacious men differ from him and
think that knowledge mounts upward
and docs not percolate downward.
The new Constitution of Georgia makes
provision by law for common sohools
only, bnt Tery wisely does not interfere
with tbe existing high schools created by
onr several municipal corporations. It
also extends the privilege to counties
"upon the recommendation of the grand
juriep, and to municipal corporations
upon the recommendation of the corporate
luthority to establish "and maintain high
schools by ‘local taxation.’”
Tcete schools are tho nurseries from
wbiob emanate hundreds of exoelient
teachers of the common schools, and
also aot as valuable feeders to tho colleges
sad Universities ot the country. They
-xsreise a moat refining and beneficial in-
flaenoe upon the oommnnity, affording
opportunity to many who aspire higher
than the possession of a mere ru
dimentary education, and aro yet without
means to pnrsne their studies, to climb
up higher on the ladder of soienoe and
qnaliry themselves for usefulness in soci
ety. Every ' tnligh ened community,
therefore, should cherish these icatitn-
tious and provide liberally for their enp-
pert.
The high schools of Savannah, Augus
ts, Atlanta and Macon are justly the pride
uf tho— -itionaniS ornaments to the State,
Who can estimate their importance to
the commonwealth ?

and prestige. It will* be remembered
that less than two years since the Doctor
consented, in obedience to the united voice
of the community, to return to the posi
tion he had once held so successfully, and
resumed the control of tbe College. He
fonnd it almost in ruins, the exercises
suspended, the young ladies soattered in
all directions, and tbe outlook gloomy in
deed.
Rut with characteristic energy he
went to work, raised by subscription a
large sum of money, re-covered the
building, laid new floors in the base-
ment, painted, retouched and made the
wbela establishment more inviting and
beautiful than ever. The chapel, loo,
was repaired, the grounds tastefully
planted and adorned, tbe fences putin
order, and ia short tbe entire premises
were placed in complete condition.
Next he addressed himself to reoruit-
lug bis ecbool.and with such success that
about one hundred students, many ot
them from abroad, now answer at roll
call, and seventeen yonng ladies will re
ceive their diplomas next month, against
only three at' the last commencement.
All this is due to the tact, industry and
gcod management of President Hamil
ton
Tbe Commencement exorcises this year
will be preceded by the pnblio examina
tions wMch begin on the 12th of Jane
and continue throngb five days. The
Commencement sermon will be preached
by Bev. A. J. Battle, D.D., and General
Aiphens Baker has consented to deliver
tbe literary annual address.
Tho celebrations of the Litcraiy So
cieties and theAlumnoin Association
will aleo come off that week, and a great
crowd is expected to be present. It giveB
ns real pleasure thus to chronicle the
rapid rise and progress once more of old
Andrew, whieh is tbo alma mater of so
many of the fair daughters of the South.
Good Advice to Parents.
Many parents labor under the mistaken
impression that their children most all
pass through the ordeal known as chil
dren’s diseases, and, as they sometimes
express it, the sooner the better. A child is
no more Bubject to disease (in fast less so)
than an adultjf the proper preoaulionB are
taken to regulate its diet and keep the
system cleansed by appropriate medi
cines. By this we do not mean an habitu
al "dosing” with purgatives. Such a
practice would' weaken the infant system
so that it could not resist tbe attacks of
disease, and would also prove ruinous to
its physical constitution. Bnt a moderate,
occasional osu of an efficient alterative, or
blood pnrifier, wonld almost absolutely
insure the child’s system against the dis
ease, besides greatly promoting its vigor
and strength. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi
cal Discovery is unexcelled ss an altera
tive, and will prove a very effectual - pre
ventive of these diseases.
The Fiagne—iu Terrible Sta
tistics.
The Sanitarian Magatme for May,
among ether contributions of great ex
cellence, contains the moat satisfactory
and exhaustive article upon the plague*
or black disease, that we have seen any
where. It is from the able pen of Dr.
James Christie, and gives a detailed and
connected history ot the malady from its
earliest known origin to the present d«y,
with particulars as to all its 6jmp.. m?
progress and termination. The won.
plague is from the Latin ploys, derived
from the Greek pUge, a stroke, inflicted
by the gods. The premonitory symptoms,
eays the Doctor, are chilliness, weariness,
languor or debility, preoerdial uneasiness,
occasionally nausea and vomiting, head
ache, vertigo, a hot and dry skin and a
frequent pulse. These conditions are
soon followed by the peculiar symptoms
of plagne; darling pains are felt in the
groins, arm-pits and other parts o! the
body, wMch are soon followed by
enlargement of the lymphatio gland,
or by inflammation of the snbcc.
taaeoas tissue, constituting carbun
cles. As the disease advances the swell
ings increase; the tongue beoomos furred,
ofeen dry, brown or blaokiib, and fissured;
a dark sordes oollecta upon the game and
lipc; and there is often great thirst, and
an internal sensation of bnrning heat
The bowels, which are at first constipa
ted, become relaxed, the stools bring
dark, offensive and sometimes bloody;
and the urine is generally scanty, turbid,
yellowish or blackish, and tinged with
blood. The general strength is greatly
prostrated; the patient has a staggering
gait, and attacks approaching to syncope
ars not uncommon. The power of the
willis impaired, the intellect ia confused
and delirium or . ooma may supervene.
There are usually remissions in tho morn-
ing and evening, and exsoerbationa dar
ing the day and night; the morning re
missions and nootnrnal exacerbations be
ing commonly the greatest. Bnboes may
appear at the commencement of the dis
ease, or after one or more days, or not
until near the close. Carbuncles usually
make their appearance later than the bn
boes, and may oc:ur on any part of the
body.
Petoblse, or purplish spots, like flea
bites whioh usually beoome livid as the
disease advanoes, occur only in btd <
and sometimes along wl'h these spots
there axe vlbioes, or irregnlar purplish or
livid patohes, like braises. Convales-
oenoa generally begins between the sixth
and tenth days, and is frequently much
protraoted by suppuration or tbe bnboes.”
Death may occnr at any stage of tha dis
ease, even doting the stage of invasion,
bnt usually takes plaoe between the third
and fifth days.
Suoh is this terrible disease whioh is bo
fatal,that from 70 to 90 of those attacked
with it die.
Dr. Cbriatie gives voluminous statiatios
showing the ravages of the disease at
different timer. In Toulon in 1720, ont
of 26,276 inhabitants JL3,283 died. Only
6 000 escaped the'disease. From 1347 to
1351, Heoker assumes that twenty-five
milliont ot the inhabitants of Europe fell
viotims to the plagne.
So great was the consternation that the
wildest and most absurd snsploiona were
aroused, which often proved fatal to the
innooent. We olose this netioe with an
extract illustrating how far tbe persecu
tions were carried: “Ibe populaoe at
tributed tbo mortality to poison, and the
Jews were everywhere suspeoted of hav
ing poisoned the wells or infected the air.
In Germany, espeoially, the springs and
wells were bnilt over that nobody might
drink of them, or employ their contents
for culinary purposes, and for a long
time the inhabitants of nnmrrons towns
and villages used only river and rain wa
ter. All the Jews in Bsslo were enolosed
in a wooden building, constructed for the
purpose, and burned with it, upon the
mere outcry of the people, without sen
tence or trial.
"At Spires the Jews, driven to despair,
assembled in their own habitations,
which they set on fire, and thne con
sumed themselves with their families.
The dead bodiee of the murderers, whioh
lay about the streets, wero put into emp
ty wine casks and rolled into the Bhine,
lest they should in'eot the air; and at
Stroaburg, 2,OCO Jews were bnrnt alive
their own burial ground, where a
large ECitfold had been erected for the
purpose. At Mayence 12,000 Jews were
put to death, and the persecution was
so severe that, driven to despair, the
whole Jewish community at Eriingen

WJrat tbe Democracy will Do.
The Washington Star is not very good
authority in reference to the purposes of
the D.-mooratio majority in Congress;
but in tbe following forecast of probabil
ities it agreei with several other newspa
pers. It prediots that in the oanens to
be held by ths Democrats, the plan offer
ed by Foster, of Ohio, in the last Con
gress, will be adopted. That is, to pass
a joint resolution continnlngin foroethe
army and legislative appropriation bills
on (he bieiB of last yaar’s appropriation- - ,
until Deoember next; then when Con
gress again assembles make other tem
porary provisions until regular appropri
ations are made. Shonld this ooutse be
proceeded with tbe probability is that
Congress will adjourn by tb9 middle of
next month.
The Republicans wonld favor an early
adjournment, to gat rid of financial legis
lation, and there are enough hard money
Democrats who will vote with them,
rather thin further widen the breach be-
t weentho eastern and western wings of
tbe patty by tinkering with the fina&oes.
There is, too, a current of feeling among
not a few Democrats that if the veto is
based on the ground annonnoed in ex-
Secretary Bobcson’a speech that it inter
feres with the President's power ovsr the
civil cfficers of tho government, that the
words "civil officers” will he stricken ont.
It, ia claimed that thus amended the Pres
ident will eign the bill. Of course if he
has ether objections his message will fully
set them forth.
How Thublow Wsid Fooled Him
self.—The Washington correspondence
ot tho Chicago Tribune says that among
other stones told about these supplies
for political campaigns to one at tbe ex
pense ot Thnrlow Weed. He went from
Albany, where he then resided, down to
New York, in 1856, and obtained from
the Seward men a fund to enable him to
defeat Fillmore. Having a dread of In
vestigations, he plaoed $10,000 In an
Albany back to the creditor hia partner,
to be drawn out as it might be needed.
A few days afterwards the partner
dropped dead in the street, and the bank
paid over the money, with the other
sums deposited by him, to Ms widow.
This was not agreeable to Mr Weed, bnt
his disgust was increased when, a couple
of years later, Mr. Fillmore wooed and
married the widow—and the $10,000.

Gewrglm Sapiut, Convention.
From our own correipondent.J
Comparatively. few words will be need
ed to give your readers information con
cerning the remainder of the session. It
will be remembered v that the main to
eompliahmsot of-oar Convention was the
establishment of a State Mission Board,
through which the two beards of onr
great Southern Baptist Convention are
requested to aot in the collection of mis
sion funds. The new 8‘ate Board
was appointed, and is ui follows:
A. T. Spalding, F. M. Daniel,
J. S. Lawton, D. E. Batter, J.
G. Byals, Q. A. Nunn ally, D.
W. Gwian, R. B. Headden, V. C. Nor
eroes, most of whom reside in Atlanta.
The former very efficient secretary was
re-elected, Dr. J. H. DeVotie, and the
name of the board was ohanged to ’Board
of Missions of the Baptist Convention of
the State of Georgia.* Bev, T. C. Boy
kin was re-appointed Snnday School
Evangelist for the State, and the various
Sunday schools of the State were invited
to make regular contribution* to the Sun
day aohool work in the State.
A oommlltee oompoeed of the follow
ing named geatlenaen, was appointed to
confer with tbe Boards, or Committees,
who have in oharge the maintainanoe of
an Orphan’s Home, and the seeming
funds for the relief of aged ministers,
and, in oonjnnotion with them, devise
each plans as shall dissolve the relations
at present existing between those objeots
and the Convention, and report their ac
tion to the Convention at Us next meet
ing. I. B. Branham, T. E. Skinner, J.
H. DeVotie, B. L. Willingham, J. 8. Law-
ton. The reason for this notion, to that
the Convention was organized aooording
to ths constitution, for the purpose of
proseonting the work of Missions and ed
ucation.
TZMPZBANCS AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The report on temperance, whioh i
adopted, strongly opposed and repre
hended the nae and sale of intoxicating
liquors, avowing that those who sinfully
ns* and sell ardent spirits, should not be
retained in onr membership.
A resolution was passed by the Con
vention to snetain to the extent of its
power Bev. J. H. Campbell ia his mis
sionary labors in the city of Columbus.
Brother H. S. Bates, of that olty, strongly
eulogised the labors of Dr. Campbell,
and urged the neoeasity of his being sus
tained in his present useful position.
The report on Sand ay schools took high
grounds in their favor, and urged n more
general adoption of ths Sunday aohool
convention plan, proposed by oar State
Sunday-school Evangelltot, for organis
ing the various diatriot associations for
this work ; and it strongly recommended
wo Sanday-eohool papers pub-
Jubed in yonr city, find Words, and the

HISTORICAL SCOIZTY.
The Georgia Baptist Hiatoriosl Soci
ety held an interesting meeting on Friday
night, and it was shown that considerable
progress had been made in preserving
the reoords or onr denomination in the
State. Ths old offioers were re-elected.

Contrary to hia nanal custom Dr. Mell
made some very touching and appropri.
ate remarks at the dose of the session,
which brougnt tears into the eyes of
many. Part of his addrees was:
"This is the fourth time I have met
with conventions in ths beautiful city of
Columbus. Tha first time I cams was
as a clerk in 1852. Then I was ths gnest
of Berr. John E. Dawson, who has long
since gone to heaven. Next, in 1859,1
was the guest of J. K. Bedd, now in
heaven. Next, in 1867, when I stayed
with Dr. A M. Walker and J. E. Appier,
the former of whom has also gone to
his - toward. Who of ns may go this
year? I think perhaps I may be of the
number, bnt whether I live or die is of
little importance so that (live or die to
the glory cf God. I have often felt that
I was at the gates of death, bat without
fear. I am willing to sabmit to tbe will
of God, and live on it by so doing I can
thereby serve Him.”
Tbe doting exorcises, which conduced
with a prayer by Bev. T. B Slade, were
very affecting. 'The next section will be

Proapeots pt an Indian War.
The Denver, Colorado, Democrat of the
231 instant says that all the indications
now point to a general outbreak of the
Indians daring the summer. The chief
White Bird is now, says the Cheyenne
leader, assisting Sitting Ball in every
possible way to muster til the Indian
forces which can by any method bo in
duced to join their fortunes. White Bird
has already induced the fierce Yankton
Sioux to dig np tho tomahawk and to
start on a trail of blood wMch will lead
many of them out of this world. He and
the rest of the Nez Peroes who escaped
capture at Bear Paw when Miles took
Joseph are enraged at the treatment re
ceived by that chief and bis followers,
and are now determined to be revenged.
The Bannocks are also preparing for
the straggle, and have deposed Tnsloy,
the chief who was friendly to the pale
face, and bestowed the chieftaiaship
upon a dastardly scoundrel to whom
murder is pastime if it can be committed
without fear of swift retribution. When
found off their reservation they refuse to
return and openly defy army officers who
insist upon their doing so. The Crowe
are reported friendly by their agent, bnt
a Milk Biver trader asserts that a dozen
Mountain Crows are in Sitting Ball’s
camp and participated in the murder or
a half-breed whose horse was coveted by
a petty Unoapapa chief. There are ab-
solulely no Indians in Montana who can
be trusted if the Sionx sweep downward
the Yellowstone. ’
The last Indian war of any magnitude
to be fought in tho United States ia near
at band; bnt while the spirit of the In
dians is bnrning for the fray, while they
will fight with desperation and as Indians
never fought before, they are really in
much worse condition for the combat
than they were last year or in 1877.
BBMtlMg affray.
Last night abont eight o’clock Aha city
was thrown into a decided exoitoment by
the rapid discharge of five shots in the
vloinity of Benner’s well known restau
rant on Mulberry street, and immedi
ately after the arrest of a colored man
who was walking leisurely off np Mulberry
street
The crowd that gathered was very
large, and it was thought that some trag
edy had been exaoted. Is was soon dis
covered, however, that no serious damage
had been done.
It seems that Henry Shields, the oolor-
ed cook oenneoted with Benner’s restau
rant, on the seoond floor on Mnlbeny
street, had a difficulty with a oolored man
who works in tbe establishment below,
and went down stairs to have a settle
ment.
Shields hid been drinking, and as this
portion of the establishment of the
Messrs. Benner to ran with strict regard
to decorum and good order, he wes direc
ted to leave the store. This he declined
to do. Some load words followed, when
he was pnBhcd'ont to the sidewalk.
Mr.J. H. Benner hearing the noise
np stairs in his restaurant, went below,
and spoke to the colored man, ordering
him off. He immediately drew his knife
from under his clothing and cut at Mr.
Benner, ripping a gash in his shirt sleeve.
Mr. B. was unarmed. He went up-ataire,
procured hia pistol and returned. The
colored man was still standing below in.
a threatening manner when Mr. B. lev
eled his pistol and fired. Tne fire was
returned instanter. The colored man
stood near the awning post, and Mr. B.
near the entrance to the stairway. Five
shots were exchanged with amazing rap.
idity, both parties changing their posi -
tions several times, Mr. Benner firing
twice and tne colored man three times.
After his third shot the oolored man
fell to the ground, but rose and snapped
his pistol at his antagonist. Tbe distanoe
between tbe two conld not have been
greater than eight feet daring the firing.
After tbe shooting the colored man
W2lkcd quietly up Mulberry street to the
middle of Second street, where be wae
arrested by Lieutenant Grace and officers
Sicks and Wood, and lodged in the bar
racks.
Mr. Benner was fonnd to have reoeivad
two slight flesh wounds in his left leg
just shove the knee. The colored man
also received two wonnds, a scalp wound
abont twoinohes In length and one in his
right arm, tha bnllet ot whioh was cot
ont of hie ahonlder, and evidently hit the
arm while extended iu tbe aot of ebootirg.
The oolored man has the reputation of
being a very bad darkey, and last over
lap was strongly under ths influence of

ored to raise a disturbance at the store
of Messrs. D. Daly A Bros., and he seem
ed bent on mischief. After being carried
to the barracks he went almost immedi
ately to sleen.
The ease will probably be judicially
examined very soon. It is fortunate and
singular that nobody else was hitalthough
several were standing immediately around
the scene of the ahooting.

DYSt'STSlA AND SlCJto HEADACHE.
Symptoms .of. a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the rite, increases on pres-
ture ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends, to the top of ths
shoulder, aud is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected.-,yith loss of appetite
sr.ci sickness; the bowels in general
aredostive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the licid is troubled with pain,
accompanfed with" a dull, heavy sen-
satiOn'mlhe back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to hafe-bpen done. • A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient- complains of weariness
and, debility; be is easily startled, his
feet arc cold or burning, and he com
plains of, a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits arc low ; and although
he is satisfied that Exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he' can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact; he distrusts 'every remedy.
' Several of the abov© symptoms attend
ths disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver- to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dn. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
takenVith Quinine, are productive of
the-most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
-Advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they arc un-
equaied.
BKWAEUE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr.. McLane’s
