from all the citixens of the place and vi

in some parts of the county, that the

three miles of a Camp Meeting, had been

that the Supreme Court bad recently held
that it only applied to the sale of liquor.
It was unite manifest from the testimony
given in Court that Madam Humor bad
greatly exaggerated this case, and in fact
there were no riotous proceed lugs on the
part of the Camp Meeting people, hut that
a personal encounter had grown out of the
attempt to enforce the provisions of the
law prohibiting trafficing within three

William Stitxer, Sr. was born on the "
10th day of July A. D. 1810. in Union Co., 6
aud died at Bellefente the 17th day of
Sept- 1873.
Death has once more entered our midst,. „
and this time it has taken a father from the
circle. Mr. Stitxer has been afflicted with t
the disease which Anally terminated his 0
life, for aver eigbt years; and, although, at
times, during those years, he suffered the „
most excruciating |>ains, yet. by his pa-; r
tience,.with which he endured his suffer-1 0
ings, caused himself to be leved not only t
in this life, by all who knew him, but he> ,
has also caused his memory to be deeply
imbedded in the hearts of ail around him:' c
although the summons was quick, and'
when it was least expected, yet be meekly
bowed bis head in subjection to the stern a
mandate of heaven, and peacfully passed
away.
He was a member of the Evangelical
church upwards of thirty years, during
which he led a true, consistent and chris
tian life. He is gone—but we will not 4
mourn his loss; for why should we? We j
know that be was pleasant and cheerful in f
life, calm and serene in death that he is |
glorified in Eternity, and that he is now
reaping an abundant harvest of celestial
enjoyment around the daxxling throne of *
God, who control letb the destiny of man. 4
Kind readers, let us profit by this, aa- 4
other removal by death. Let us ever be *
firm in the right as was the departed one. 4
Let us ever remember that there are two !
paths in this life ;—on the one hand, opens J
the thorny path which leads to the calm !
and affluent retreats of Christianity, there 1
to bask in the golden Sunlight of God's 1
fever,-of unmitigated fruition, made J
sweeter by an uninterrupted intercourse
with the memory of such who have passed j'
through the ordeal of this life unscathed, '
as did father Stitxer; but remember that 1
on the other hand we see the inviting path 1
of sin and foil v. May we, earnestly, im- 1
ploro the smiles of God, upon our exer- j
lions to enter the former path. May we
be impressed with the solemnity of the re- '
movaf of our friends by death : and when !
the battle of tbis life is fought and that '
hideous foe of mankind (.Stw) lies prostrate 1
beneath us, may we enter the llaven of <
eternal rest, as peacfully as did father 1
Stitxer.

'* Grand Prairie, in iheparUhof 81. Landry,
jon the 11th instant Between the families
r ~!ef two men, named Augustin tlulllory
" and Felix Soileau, an old ftied ha* long
* subsisted. On Saturday night two of the
'* son* of these men, Dreux Uuillory and Fe
° lix Soileau, Jr., met at a ball, and being
* somewhat flushed with wine, they hud llt
' lie trouble in getting up a quarrel. The
of friends prevented any sort
" ous consequence* for the moment, but both
Voflhem returned home with expressed pur
-1 pa.es of settling their quarrel at no dis
-1 taut day. Both of them ucit div called
. | second* into requisition, and on Monday.
. the lltb instaat, they appeared at the Old
. Grand Prairie for the purpose ef lighting
an old-fashioned Creole tistduol there
t were upwards of KM persons in attendance
„ te witness the light, and the most intense
. interest was manifested in it. Augustin
i Guiliorr was present a* hi* son's second,
1 and one Carroll Hlackman acted in the
i same capacity ferAoileau. All the friend*
of beth parties and they were many
w ere present te witness the combat, and a
, spirit of ill-suppressed vindlcliVene was
I evident on both sides. Before the flghl
'j commenced old Guillory endeavored to
* pick a quarrel with Blackmail, and was
i'only quieted when assured that lie would
, get light enough when their principals had
| satisfied themselves. The combat then
' j commenced, and after a few stroke*. b*il
eau cried "enough," and admitted hi* I
pugilistic inferiority. I'pou this old Guil- ,
: lery advanced with a drawn pistol, and (
: commenced swinging it about in a threat
ening manner. Soileau then fled, but was
'quickly followed by a ball trom the pistol .
in the band of Guillory, which grated hiiu .
i but did no serious injury. Blackmail iu
:mediately drew hi* pistol and levelled at
the old desperado, but somebody caught 5
! hit arm and held him in a tight gra.p, t
j while Guillory advanced and shot hiui un
•' der the left shoulder blade, the ball pass
ing across to the shoulder on the other I
side. Ulackman fell to the ground, and c
while in a recumbent position, fired three j
lime* at the retreating form of Guillory,
bringing him to the earth. Guillory re
ceived a ball in the thigh bone which com- '
pleiely shattered the same; a flesh weund '
a the breast, aud a third ball entered
ins back en ene side and ranged diagon
ally across the breast te the other, but did *
; not come out. Two of the weuad* are j-'
considered mortal. Blackmail died in five
minutes.
la the meantime young Gillory was not 11
: idle. He advanced, pistol in hand, to a r
man named a friend ot Soileau *. '
and killed him IU a single shot He then 1
directed hi* pistol towards one Ortega, but
the cap snapped, whereupon the latter fir- '
ed his willi more success, killing young *
Gillory on the spot, aud thus the battle •
ended! When the Bring commenced ail 11
the people not personally interested in the •

Our reader* will remember the tele
graphic accounts, three or four week* ago,
of tha halting ef a stage in Nevada by
brigand*. who robbed Well*, FargoJkCo.
safe of a large turn ot ntonev. A cilixen of
OaTenport, K. Baldwin, Chief Engineer
of the Davenport and St. Paul Railroad,
v>* a pa**engcr on the stage. He write*
an account of the affair to a friend. He
says he left Coltax at 4 I*. M . with thir
teen other paasenger*, destination Downie
ville, Sierra county At the start they as
cended 1,000 feet, then descended 1,000
feel, and then repeated the ascension, and
just a* the coach reached the last summit
I four men sprang from behind rocks, seixed
| the leader* by the bit, and bade the driver
' get down from there. It was some lime,
Mr. Baldwin says, before the passeuger*
; could understand tho interruption, but at
.last they were made to comprehend it
without much ceremoncy. The driver
was ordered to take the horse* from the
! coach and lead them to one tide. He obey
ed. Neit the passengers were told to dt*
mount and seat themselves on a redwood
A* each of the robber* held a dou
ble-barrelled shotgun, and swore that
somebody a brains would be spilled un
less "you step right lively, now," the or
der wasobeyed with alacrity. "1 tell you,
my friend," write* Mr. B , "I felt terri
bly put out!"
The passenger* sat still as mice under
cover of the shotguns, ana silently watch
ed the operation* ef the robber* in getting
at the contents oftkc safe. Tbescoundrelt
drilled hole* about the lock and elsewhere
in the door, poured powder into the open
ing*, tamped them, and then lighted the
fuse. In a half minute there was a thick
puff of smoke, a dull, heavy sound, and
there lay the safe open It was but the
work ef a minute to sack the bag* of gold
and package* of greenback*, and then the
| robber* ordered the passengers to mount.
The traveller* obeyed and look their seats;
then tbo driver was ordered to hitch up,
and be did a* he was told—and was re
quested to "drive on quick and net lag
once for a mile." And the way the four
horse team flew away from the locality
would astonish a locomotive. The rob
ber* gobbled between $8,001) and $ 12,•
iOUO
After making the aforesaid mile in un
commonly quick time, the passengers got
to comparing note* concerning the "late
interruption, and it was ascertained that
every man of the fourteen had a revolver
safely stowed away in hi* trunk or valiae.
Net a man among them had a weapon
about hi* clothe* when the robber* were
at hand.
When the stage reached Grass Valley
the passenger* told the people the "story {
of tbeir sufferings*'* And tbey were
laughed at "Fourteen )*a**enger* of you
wrdeted to sit on a redwood log by four
robbers armed with nothing but d d
old shot guus, and you did it—you squat
ted, did you, while tbey robbed the sale T"
was the gist of the remarks of tbo Grass
Valleyites, delivered with looks and ac
cents of scorn
Mr. Baldwin says one experience of the J
kind isenough for him—he wouldn't g ef
across the street to meet another.

DISTRIBUTION OF AN ESTATE.
The supreme court (Judge Mercur
delivering the opinion) has decided as
follows* on an appeal from the orphans'
court of Lebanon county in a rare and im
portant case :
John Person died intestate leaving a
widow and five grandchildren. His three
children—Sarah, Amanda and David—all
died priorto his death. Sarah and Aman
da each left one child and David left three
children. These five grandchildren are
the only living lineal dsscendant* of the
inteatate. and are equnly removed from
him. Tbo question presented is whether,
in the distribution of the estate of the in
testate, the children of David are charge
able with advancements made to their
father in his lifetime. If the intestate had
| left surviving him a child or children
against whom their grandchildren were
claiming, it is clear they ara so chargo
abla. In that case they would take by
representation such shares only as
their father would have taken if he had
been living at the death of the intestate.
How do they txko in this case? The sec
ond section of the act of Bth April, I'ur.
Dig. 897. pi. 9, 11, provides, "Ir such in
testate leave grandchildren, but nochild
or other descendant, being tbe issue ef a
deceased grandchild, the estate shall des
cend to and be distributed among such
'grandchildren." The facts in this case
are precisely those indicated by the statute
quoted. Tbe intestate left grandchildren
but be left ae children and no descendants
which were tbe issue of a deceased grand
child. The estate shall be distributed
among his grandchildren. How shall It
be distributed? Shall it be by representa
tive per ttirpe* or shall It be per eapita ?
Under the statute of distributions, 22
and 23 Cer. 11, which is very similar to
eur own, it ia held that they lakepcr capi
ta, that is equal shares in their own right,

and valueless system upon the United
States The purchase of thr railroads of
the nation by the Federal government
also has advocates. Among them is Hon
j Atna-a Walker, of Massachusetts, llede
clares that a remedy for the evil . I exor
bitant iMkiisportatiou charges is be found
| in a government manageuirnt of the rail
roads, and urges that the government be
gin buying up the roads, starling with
the great East trunk lines, and continu
ing until it shall have purchased them all.
Mr. Walker assert* that railroa. * can
carry freight* for one-half and even one
third the rate# they now charge. He nre
posea vhal the farmers of the West snail
make the purchase and control of the rail-!
roads the lcadi> g point in their policy, and
conduct their campaign upon tint idea un
til the change is effected.
In opposition to Mr. Walker * scheme
and reasoniug, and in order to arrest the
attention of the farmers of the West at
this time. the St. Louis Kepubltcan presents
the matter in several plain and practical
aspects. In the first place that able
journal puts dowu the aggregate cost of
the railroads of the United Male- at #.-
loV.filM.Uo?, deciars their absorption would
increase the national debt to lu.'.W.UU,-
00, and continues : "Of course, the gov
ernment would have railroad property to
represent three-fifths of this enormous
debt; but the experience of alt those
Stales that have owned railroad property,
Missouri, Tenaessee, Illinois and others,
is that yuch property in the bands of the
overnment is not worth one-half its es
timated value; in fact, it is more trouble
than it is worth, for it involved endless
fraud, eiubeulcment and defalcations,
and corrupts the whole civil service of
the State.*
Tbe management of tbe railroad*
also shown to be ot such ali'cnormoui
character r s to preclude Federal govern ■ j
mem from embarking in such a bi sinews
In 1870 there were 1,172,040 persons eo-l
gaged in transportation in the United j
Mates • of these tbe . Republican nllmate
one-half are connected with railroads.
Sixty thousand office-holders, of all,
kinds, are supposed to be connected with
tbe present government, or in other
words, remarks the Telegraph, "the con-,
duct of the railroads requires nine time,
as many persons as the conduct of the
civil government and eight times as much
as the civil and the army together. The
gross earnings of the railroads in 1*72
were $47't,241.U6.'. which is SIU',UUO,UUU
more than tbe total receipts ef the govern-,
for the same year. Imagine 000,000 office
holders, added to tbo civil service of the!
government, and the disbursements of the
Federal Treasury augmented to % 747,000,-
OU) per annum, and some idea may be had
of the evershaaowing propoitions and the
irresistible power ef the administration'
that should control these officeholders and
disburse this money."
It is also urged with great truth and
force that it weuld cos* far more to run
railroads owned by the government than
those managed by private enterprise. As'
an enforcement of this position it is stated
that the goverment had with the Uni
on Pacific Railroad resulted in frauds to
the amount.of forty-two million dollars.
The management of the Georgia State
road by an agent under Governor Bullock
involved great liauds and in Vermont
the connection ef the Slate with a railroad
has been the source of vast corruption."
These facts are of such a convincing
character that Ibry ought to kill in the
bud this movement in favor of the Fed-'
era! gc verament purchasing the railroads
of thejeountry. The nation cannot afford
to shoulder their cast, nor is it prudent t
increase the office-holders or corruption
food ol*the Federal administration. They
are each sufficiently potent and danger
ous at the present time.

A FINANCIAL FLI RRYS^
SUSPENSION" OF JAY UOOKE A CO
AM) OTHERS.
New York September 18.—The
banking house of Jay Cooke A Co.
suspended payment this morning.!
Messrs. Cooke A Co. announce that
their suspension is in consequence of
large advances made to sustain their j
Philadelphia house, aud a heavy drain
upon their own deposits. There is l
great excitement on '.he streets in con-,
sequence of'the announcement of the
failure of Jay Cooke A Co. The:
question generally asked is, who next?'
Slocks took a tumble generally, caus
ed as much apprehension of the future
as by t the existing condition of
affairs. Prominent Wall street men
attribute the suspension of the firm
not so much to the effort to sustain
the Philadelphia house as to ora
tions iu the Northern Pacific, which,
it is said, they sought to carry beyond
their streugth. It is expected that
the Life Insurance Compauy, with
which Jay Cooke A Co. arc connect- <
ed, may have to go under. It is al
so said that Jay Cooke has lost large
sums in the recent gold movement,
aud another rumor is that it was the
| tightness iu the money market and
the iuability to dispose of his paper
that hurried the suspension. The
firm say they are unable to make an)
further stat-sinent save that they ex
pecl 10 resume busiuess iu a short
time. The London firm of Cooke's
house responds to his tiuapensiou, >l*t
ing that all draft* and letters of cred
it upon them issued by Jay Cooke A
Co. will lie duly boiioreu. Crowds
are oulsi le the bunk wailing to get a
chance in the lines. Men are offering
as high as fifty dollars for favorable
places.
Philadelphia, September 18.—The
following oard has been posted on (lie
office door of Jay Cooke A Co. iu this
city: "We regret to he obliged to
auuouuce thai, owiug to an unexpect*
ed demand ou us, our house has been
obliged to suspend payment. Iu a
few days we will be able to pieseut a
statement of our credit, until which
time we must ask for putient consider
ation. We believe our ussels to be
largely in exce* of our liabilities.

THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
WITHIN THE DOORS OP PANDEMONI
UM PROM OPENING TO CLOSE.
Regardless of the rain a large
crowd gathered in front of the Stock
Exchange on 19th, Friday morning, i
long before the doors were opened, 1
ami when Trinity's chimes announced '
teu o'clock, the hour for their open
ing, pell-mell the brokers poured yell '
ing and swearing through the portals
in a scramble each to be first on the
floor. As soon as the exchange room
was reached a Pandemonium began,
which did not cease till the doors
were closed for ths day at three o'-
clock. Every one wanted to see
that lie had and to get the best possible
price for it, but as all thus were or
wanted t<> be sellers there were no
buyers, and this discrepancy was pro
ductive of outrageous noise aud confu
sion. Sellers crying their stocks fill
ed the halls with Indian war-whoop*
like yells, hut the voice of the buyer
was not beaid in the laud, thu theory
of the best possible price had been
abandoned ami each seller sold for
whnt lie could get. For a lime prices
fluctuated by the one per cent, in
stead of by eights, a id it was not for
SOIIIJ time after the first cull opened
that sales were made on narrower*
limit*. 'I he President of the Board
had endeavored to attract the ntteu-J
tion of the in mheis immediately on
their i lit ranee with repeated sound
i iugs of his gavel, but uo oue paid any
atteution to him or it, aud the an I
nouncement of the suspension of
d'White, I>e Freitee A Hathborne wa*
t,'apparently unheard nmj unnoticed.
I. By the time the next tattoo sounded
the excitement had toned down a bit,
utid, obedient to the signal. thomcrn-'
i, hers gathered around the President'*;
i deak to hear George t)|dyke'* denial
of the suspension of that firm. The
aiiuouncentent was received with
r three cheers and a tiger, whose loud
ncsa was proof of their heartiness.
Their enthusiasm was <himped a few
minutes later hv the President declar
ing that Eugene J. Jackson had sus-.
. (tended, and the mighty roar with *
which the Kxchauge up to that time
i had been filled was quelled to a hoarse
murmur when immediately afterwards
- the President, with an inipressiveness
that made inauifest his own emotion
I at the intelligence, read out the an
nouncement of Kisk A Hatch's sus
-1 tension. A thunderbolt had fallen,
den looked at each other as if they
; read bankruptcy in each others eyes.
Tlteu there was a rush for telegraph
stations aud hoarse calling for mes
i nengeie. (sold began moving up by
eights, after having sold at 112, aud
in a few minutes sold at 113, and
promised to go higher. To counter
balance gold's goiug up everything
else, except Erie aud 'New Yorb Cen
tral, went down, and at rapidly that
prices could hardly be traced. Little
track could be kept of anything in
the uproar that now ensued. The an
nouucerudiit of the suspension of sev
eral firms in succession was drowned
hv the din, and every one lost reckon
ing, aud whether five firms or fifty
had suspended at IICIOU was a doubt
ful question even with aoiue of the
Exchange. Confusion grew worse
confounded, and a* one after another
were read out the suspensions of Beers
A Edwards, Thomas Heed, William
H. Warreu, Greenleaf A N orris, Ceo.
Allen, and A. &1. Kidder A Co., it
•ccmcd as if the end of at least the
brokers' were come. All this time
stocks were selling in almost every
cast- for cash, and when securities
were offered they were not received it
uot of the bast, aud ioaus were only |
made ou the widest margin.

THE SAVINGS HANKS.
New York, September 22. Wheu
the doors of Irving's savings bank
were opened this mornjng a crowd of
depositors rushed in, clamoring for
their money. The paying teller im
mediately eet to work and commenced
to satisfv tbe demands. When a ma
jority, however, saw how willingly
money was being t aid out they oc
eanic quieted and left.
Tbe Broadway savings bank trans
acted business as usual, little or no
excitement prevailing.
The L'nion Dime savings bank is
now besieged by a vast crowd. About
200 are inside. The doors are closed
and a placard in tbe window announc
es that as many persons are inside as
can be paid off to-day. Th bank is
amply able to meet the run. They
are not exacting the sixty day privil

arc also being received from Europe,
with instructions to fill as soon as the

wards transferred to the steamer Arctic
Captain Budduiffton and party wintered
last year on the main land nearLitlleton'e
Island. Realising that the Polaris was not
in condition to carry them further south,
she was partly broken up and boats made
from the pieces. These were stored with
Jirovisions end sailed southward early in

York off the ceast of Greenland, and were
twenty miles south of that cape when
rescued.
