Advertiser! cau luaku contract with them at our lowest r.ite,. Tun political strife in Louisana, has at last caused the shedding of blood. It was hardly to bo expected that the moderation which lias characterized the conduct of the McEnery party should continue much lon ger; though we cannot now bco what is to be gained by an armed conflict. So far as we cau learn from the dispatches, the mi litia called out by Gov. McEnery have come into collision with the Kellogg police in New Orlcaus. Blood has boon shed, and the end is not yet. Congress was warned what would bo the consequences of an ad journment without making any attempt to pacify the troubles iu Louisiana. The dis solution of Congress, after wasteful dobate ou less important subjects, has put an end to any hope of a legal adjustment of the difficulty; and the people who believe Kel logg to be a usurper have taken the short cut to his overthrow. The country will hold Congress responsible for this dreadful state of afl'nirs. Few People ever calculated the actual advantages to be derived from the building of a railroad. The gain to a community is so large, that without figures to prove the truth of matter it would seem impos sible. The importance of railroads in the devel opment of the resources of the country may be estimated from the fact that the cost of transporting Indian corn or wheat over an ordinary highway is about 20 cents per tun per mile, whilo those cereals may be moved upon railroads at cents per tun per mile. In The Tribune Almanac for 1873 will be found some very interesting statistics show ing the rapid progress of railway construc tion in this country from 23 miles in 1830 to the 60,852 miles in 1872. And now let our people take the proper interest iu giving this county the benefits to be gained from the construction of the D. B. and L. R. R. Tho investment we bcliove will pay a bet tor interest than any bond and mortgage you can hold, besides increase the value of property. , . The election of Luther Caldwell, last week, as Mayor of tho City of Elmira has revived tho discussion of that gentleman's performance in Albany in 1808. This was the year in which the Erie Railroad Com pany is said to have spent half a million dollars in putting through certain legisla tion there notably the bill to legalize tho Company's overissue of stock. Caldwell having been Clerk of the Assembly the year previous, lie was employed by the Erie Railroad Company to manage the passage of their bills through the Legislature, and is said to have been intrusted with f 05,000 for that purpose. The Central Railroad Company, which was anxious to checkmate Erie in all of its legislative schemes, is credited with the sharp practice of having paid Caldwell f 35,000 to run away with the Erie money. At any rate, the money dis appeared, and with it Luther Caldwell, who is said to have lived an easy life ever since, There are some who maintain that he did a virtuous and praiseworthy act in with drawing from the temptation of Assembly, men a corruption fund of $05,000, and it would appear from Ms elevation to the Mayoralty of Elmira that the voters of that city take this view of subject. Congressional Honesty. If ever a legislative body committed an outrage on the people, it was done by Con gress when it voted an increase in their own salaries. What would be thought of the honesty of a man who having a con tract to do certain work at a specified price, refufed when the work was done to settle at the price of the contract, but de mantled a large increase T Yet that is just . the position of a large number of Congress men who voted themselves increased pay, They had just completed a term of service during1 which they had agreed to perform the duties for a specified price, and yet Just as the work is done, deliberately vote themselves a large amount of money to which they have neither legal nor moral claim. Besides that, a large majority of them receive much more than they were worth at the former compensation, and that the people thought so is proven In many oases by their constituents refusing to re-elect them. If proof were required to show that congressmen were more anxious about their own compensation than the salaries of judges and others affected by the change, it is furnished by the fact that while the advance to others is only for the future, they make the increase for themselves .Apply to the term Just expired. Duncannon, Bloomflpld and Loygvllle Railroad Company.

Tho above notice need not interfere with the appointment of a Treasurer to the board of commissioners whose duty it will be to colllcct $5. on each share subscribed and when that amount has been paid on two hundred shares, tho Governor will sign tho act of incorporation. Then comes tho election of a board of directors, that board being elected by tho stock holders due notico being given by tho commission ers. We are glad to see that the persons intrusted with the preliminary stops are moving promptly and we hope soon to be ahlo to give notico that tho company is in working order. Trial of Gcorgo 0. Evans. Tho caso of Gcorgo O. Evans camo up before tho Court at Ilarrisburg last week, Monday, Judge Pearson presiding. At torney General Dimmlck appeared for tho Commonwealth, and asked that the roll of jurymen be called. Nineteen out of thirty- six answered to their names. At this stage the defendant appeared in tho Court room and took a seat besido his counsel, Messrs. L. W. Hall and R. A. Lamberton of that city, Hon. J. S. Black of York and Judge Strohn of New York. The Attorney Gonoral stated that in view of the fact that one-half of the jurymen wore absent, it had been agreed that the case should go over till 2 p. m., when they would all be present, and then both sides would be ready to pro ceed with the case, whereupon Judge Pearson adjourned the Court until 3 p. m. The Court reconvened at 2 p. m., when counsel on both sides announced themselves ready to begin the trial. Defendant ap peared with his wife and daughter. The jury was drawn up and sworn. Mr. Mc Veigh opened the case on behalf of the Commonwealth, proceeding to review tho case at length, setting forth how and under what authority Evans was appointed to collect claims from the United States gov. eminent, the nature of these claims and the sums collected. The commonwealth then proceeded to produce evidence in the case. Tho trial was concluded tho next day and the jury brought in the following ver diet : We find in favor of the plaintiff, the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, on the fifth count in the sum of $149,702.53, and that the defendant was not an oiucer or profes sional agent, but received the money in the suit as a special agent appointed bv tho Governor of the Commonwealth, pursuant to the provisions of the joint resolution of the Legislature, passed the 22d day of March, 1867, and by John F. Hartranft, the Auditor-General, on the 80th day of March, 1H7U ; tnat said appointments be made a part of the verdict ; and we find that the second and third counts of the narration are not supported by any evi aence in ine case. The Fight In New Orleans. The fight between the factions in New Orleans on the 5th Inst., was for a fow minutes a desperate one. A correspond dent giving an account of the affair and the appearance of the surroundings after the battle says : The effect of tho lire of grape is visible in two or three places. 1 Several of the iron columns of the balcony of the building at the oornor of St. Peter and Charles streets, are perforated, and one is knocked down and broken into fragments. The railing of Jaokson Square is also broken in several places, and here and there the buildings near it are chipped. The trees on the square are fairly riddled with bullets, and the ground is strewn with branches. This gives a faint Idea of the severity and brisk ness of the fire. The polio bold the street immediately in front of the station, are armed with Winobestor rifles. The station itself is occupied by United States sol diers, who have their arms stacked iu the Court-yard, with men guarding tbera People were constantly entering the ofllce and inquiring for friends and relatives, but permission to see them, with one or two exceptional instances, was refused. About fifty citizens or militia who participated Iu last night's affray, were arrested, charg ed with violating the act of Crongress passed April 20, . 1871, section 8 of an act to enforce the provisions of the 14th amend ment to the Constitution of the , United States, and for other purposes, volume 17, United States statutes at largo. They were taken before United States' Commissioner and released on $1,000 bail each, The olty is very quiet at present, and it is believed that no further demonstration will be made while the United States t loops remain in charge.

They have passed a law thero against carrying concealed weapons, and the impudont bra- vos wear their pistols in a strap outside their clothing. We have also a report of the cheerful feats of Sam Sharp of Sharp county, described nB a noted militia cap tain. Samuel went to a neighbor's yard and shot some of his dogs ; and when the ownor expostulated, began to shoot at him also. This was more than the neighbor could stand, and so he put a couple of charges of buckshot into Samuel's head, and ho will now no more shoot either dogs or en. CST" Very remarkable old lady, Mrs. Mary Sansfrason of Van Buren, Me., is, for bo- sides being 07 years of age, she has had IS children. Sho had a husband once, who, to say the loast, was not affectionate, for he tried several times to kill her once by firing a piece of a felled tree where she was then by pouring molted lead into her ear ; then by an energetio effort to drown her. At last this devoted husband fell from n boat and was himself drowned. Afterwards the house in which the widow was, took fire, and she only escaped death by jump ing from a window. Fate must have form ed a more fixed resolution than common, that this dame should die in her bed. t3f Henry B. Colson is a citizen of Portsmouth, N. II., and for some weeks ho has been missing. Some thought him murdered ; others favored abduction ; still others thought that ho had abscondod. When suddenly ho came back ho was eagerly asked where ho had been and why ho left, To this ho merely answered, "Darned if I know." It is one of tho most mysterious cases we ever heard of. tW A miner's drill fourteen feet long and an inch in diameter, fell from the mouth of tho shaft of the Watson's coal company's bank, in Iowa, and struck Benjamin Couch, 128 feet below, in the back, at the right of the spine, just above the hips, passing through his body, and coming out near tlo rectum. The drill was withdrawn by a fellow-workman, at Couch's request. The sufferer will proba bly recover. t3T Springfield, Mass., has a young wid ow, gay and fascinating, but just now un certain of the effect of her charms upon a young gentleman of her acquaintance She could not remain in suspense, and with strategy worthy of the cause, procured the insertion of a notice of her death in the papers, hoping by this means to ascertain whether that particular yonng man cared for her. Ho did not attend the funeral, and she is in the dark still. tSTThe Pittsfleld, Mass., chief of polico has received a letter which asks him to look for a runaway man who has a "black mustash about five fete and tone inches in hite with a volvot cott." It ought not to be difficult to detect a man carrying a mous tache of such extraordinary height, how ever much he may try to cover it with his velvet coat. Liverpool, March 3. A terrible disaster occurred on Saturday in the river Morscy, involving a serious loss of .life. The ship Chacabuco, from San Francisco, collided with the Dublin steamer Torch, which had just left port. The vessel struck with great force, the Chacabuco, sinking almost lm mediately. Twenty-five persons on board the ship went down with her, including sev eral seamen who had embarked on board tho vessel at San Francisco. CFMrs, Mary F.
