took place between a lot of negro men,
and a spectator; a colored boy about
eighteen years of age, named Humphrey
Williams, was shot and killed. No ar

has gone away and left that portion of
the parish without a law officer.
The mespillus in Plaquemines parish

we do know that was the only possible

we don't believe the Northern people

the Commission proves to be a partisan
body, and counts in a man who was de

congratulation by Americans who love
fair play.
[Phiiadelphia Times.]
The one lesson of yesterday that will
make good men of every faith and clime

The country can endure the political
result far better than it can afford this

pass like the breeze; but the degrada.

sustained will be permanent.
[New Haven Palladium.]
Whoever may be President after the
4th of March is likely to have the sup
port of both branches of Congress. If
Gov. Hayes shall be declared elected, it
is wholly improbable that he will meet
with any factious opposition on the part
of the Democratic majority of the House,
and it is altogether probable that enough
Democratic members from Southern
States will go over to the support of the
Administration.

[N. Y. Tribune.]
Prof. Bell made some very successful
experiments with the telephone at Ly
ceum Hall, Salem. on Monday night, in
the presence of 500 auditors. He had
effected communication by wire with
his workshop in Boston. His associate,
Mr. Watson, brought an organ into use
at the Boston end and "Should Auld
Acquaintance " and " Yankee Doodle "
were heard and heartily applauded in
Lyceum Hall. Then a speech was
called for, and the Salem people
heard Mr. Watson say he was
glad of the privilege of addressing them,
although he was eighteen miles away.
A song was sung, and the applause that
.could be heard coming over the wire
to Boston showed that it had been
rocognized and appreciated in Salem.
Indeed, the signs of approval were so
clearly heard here that Mr. Watson
asked if any demonstration other than
the clapping of hands had been made.
The answer was that nothing else had
been done. Then "Hold the Fort" was
sung by Mr. Fletcher, and a series of
questions propounded in Salem. Infor
mation was sought-as to the condition
of affairs on the Boston and Maine Rail
road, and the weather, a number of
well-known Salem gentlemen taking

[New York Herald.]
Secretary Cameron, head of the War
Department, accompanied by a strong
party of distinguished generals, scien
tiflc officers, their wives and friends,
went down the bay yesterday to make
an inspection of the harbor defenses.
Among those who participated in this
pleasant excursion were Gen. Sherman,
Gen. Hancock and staff, Gen. John
Newton, Gen. J. B. Fry, Col. Audenried,
of Gen. Sherman's staff, Assistant
Quartermaster General Sawtelle, Lieut.
Col. Frederick Grant and others. A
few invited guests and a number of
ladies were also there. Among the
latter was Mrs. Frederick Grant. Sen
ator Sherman was also of the party.
The iarty boarded the government
steamer Henry Smith, Captain Balsey,
at the foot of Twenty-fourth street,
North River, and by half-past ten
o'cloo.k were bowling down stream at a
good rate. The points visited were Fort
Columbus, Bedloe's Island Fort Ham
ilton Sandy Hook and Fort Wadsworth.
At Fort Columbus Secretary Cameron
and the military magnates who acoom
panied him saw a circular casemated
work, whose walls would shake even to
the revetments if a heavy piece of mod
ern siege artillery were discharged
within the compass of its peri
meter. There were embrasures
whose cheeks, if used in a
heavy cannonade, would open like the
jaws of death and expose the gunners
to certain destruction. Columbiads of
small calibre capable of throwing
nothing more formidable than a spheri
cal shot from a smooth bored gun, were
at this poiat the only obstacle to an en
emy's entering the harbor and shelling
New York, Brooklyn or Jersey City, as
long as he might wish. Bedole's Island,
which is naturally intended as a good
flanking support to Fort Columbus,
is neither armed nor fortified in
a way that would prevent the small
est war sloop now in use from clear
ing its parapets of both men and guns
with a few well-directed rounds. At
Fort Hamilton the tracings of a fine
work were viewed; but it is wholly out
of repair, and not prepared in any de
gree to risk the shock of artillery such
as is used in our day. The earth works
which cover its seaward flank are the
only redeeming feature it possesses.
Here, indeed, if the barbette batteries
were properly armed with heavy rifled
guns, New York would have a service
able work; but, like the other forts, it
is provided with useless smooth bore
pieces. The twenty-inch Columbiads
showed that our artillerists are capable
of Sounding successfully guns that can
carry a half ton shot with a velocity of
at least 1200 feet per second, and
it only needs the application of a
good system of rifling to make them a
truly formidable weapon. Fort Wads
worth is the most formidable fortress in
the harbor. It has all the advantages
of a good position and remarkably floe
lines. In common with everything else
in the department of harbor defences,
it is falling to ruin for want of a proper
garrison and appropriations to finish
the work as ht was first intended. The
insignificant number of troops that are
quartered in this and the other for
tresses are entirely too small to be of
any practical use in preserving the
places from going slowly but surely to
ruins. There are only two remedies for
this evil, either to largely increase the
strength of the regular army or let the
National Guard take charge of the
harbor forts.
At Sandy Hook fort, another strong
place on which large sums of public
money have been spent just to let it
sink into the earth, the party witnessed
three experimental shots from an eight
inch rifle gun at a target placed a mile
ft. The practice was exceedingly good,
and the velocity, as shown by the elec
tro-ballistic machine, was over 1404 feet
per second. A Hotchkiss revolving can
non was also tried with satisfactory
results. The troops turned out under
arms to receive the Secretary of War
and th1i ienera[commanding the army,
saluting at different points with the
customary number of guns. The party
returned to the city at half-past 7
o'clock.
SHIT HIM AGAIN.
t Chicago Impudence Severely Repre
t anded by a Kentucky Editor.
[Courier Journal.J
A facetious writer in the Chicago
Tribune, whose sense of humor some
3 what exceeds his good taste and verac
ity, has undertaken to describe a con
versation between "a Kentucky Majah,
begawd, sah." and a Chicago drummer,
in which the "Majah" demands the
"cahd" of the commercial man, that
he may challenge him to a
duel. At the conclusion of the
conversation the drummer throws
the " majah" out of a window. The de
scription of the scene is very funny, but
will hardly apply to this State. More
duels are fought in the Northern States
than in Kentucky, and duelling is cer
tainly not in fashion here. The Ken
tucky " majah," if there is such a per
son, may call himself "a Kentuckian,
begawd, sah," but he never speaks of
himself as "a Kentucky majah." Nor
does he demand the "oahd" of anyone.
though he may ask for a " cyard." Be
sides, no Chicago drummer ever threw
a "majah" out of a window. The "ma
jah" who could not wear out a Chicago
drummer against the ground would be
considered a puny fellow.
