A Desperate Combat Between Two Colored Men, -— — One Using a Butcher Knife and the Other a Hatchet. The Latter Weapon Wielded With Fear- ful and Fatal Effect. * -_ A Savage Encounter, at the Bottom of Which there was „a Woman.“ —— Between nine and ten 6’clock last night an altercation took place at the residence of Isaac Bowman, colored, near the corner or Caswelland Julia streets, between Bowman and Wil’iam Davis, also colored, which will in all likelinhood result in the death of the latter. A large butcber knife and hatchet were the weapons used, and, within a few seconds, Davis was gasping on the floor ot the room with a severe wound in bis right temple and three deep knife thrusts in his right side above the hip, while Bowman escaped with only u iew tients ebout the right shoulder of his cost. The noise ot the combat and Davis“ cries for he'p attracted quite a crowd, and when Officer Mea ale ar- rivedon the scene Bowman was not to be found. Quick'y real'zing that the wounds were very dangerous, the officer procured a to the City Hospital, while every police station was telegraphed that another murder hed been committed, and tliat the murderer was at large. While preparations were being made at the Four Courts Station to send qut a heavy squad in pursuit, Officer W. S.

BOWMAN AND DAVIS have known each other for ycars, and, before the war, were both slave* on the sane p!anta- tion in Warren County, Mississippi. Some four years azo, Bowman married a comely woman, andthenhistroubles began. Davis fell vio- lentiv in love with her, and the wife soon forgot her husband for Da- vis. Tuev wee together the greater part of the time and Bowman’s remonstrance : were of no ava ll. He und the lover te quent- ly came to blous over who was the rightful possessor olthe dus\y dame, and whenthe e..cdus fever set in last spine Bowman thought he saw achane to get rid ot Davis efi c.ualiv. He sold out his iew and came up trom Warren tothis citv, accom- panied by his wife, on the steamer Moliie Moore. Davis, whois a poor, pay his passage, and Bowman was Saticfied and happy. On arriving here he,took a room, where lest night’s tragedy was enacted, and toand work at the wfre mils. His wife, though, pined for ber lost lover, and succeeded in getting a friend to write to Davis and into:m him where sie was at. Iller letter reached its destination safely, and about three weeks ago Davis mavagedto scrape enough money to- gether to poy a deck passage to st. Louis and came. He went direct to Bowman’s residence and itis tobe presumed was warmly received by the fickle wi e. He took up his residence there, and 2’tuough Lowman endeavored to get rid of him, it was a matterfofjimpossibility. On yes- ter day morning Kowman visited the Four Court for the purpose of getting outa wairant for Davis’ arrest on a charge of malicious tres- pase but failed and soreturned to his workin not the best of humor. When he went home last evening the object of his hatred was stal there, and up to nine o’clock there was waved a wer oi words. of retit.ng for the night, and Bowman inform- ris roof.

The Ste. Genevieve. The steamer Ste. Genevieve arrived yester- day from Mempnis with nearly 500 passen- gers, the majoiity being retugees from the plague-stricken eity of Mempots. It was about 5 o’clock when the Ste. Genevieve arrived at Quarantine, aud she was immediately examined by Drs. Outley and Eversole, the vessel pronounced free from in- fection and allowed to proceed up the river, arriving at St. Louis abcut 9 p. m. Now it is. a sei.ous que ion whether such a slight cntoic ment of the quaran- tine regulations is wise or will effect the object tor whick they were made. A boat load of refugces, numbering several hundied, ar- rives uirect irom the infected cty. it stops ut Quuerantire about two hours, after dusk, suring which time the doctors poer into ‘‘nooks and cranni> and dark places’’ and inhale the yellow fever would appear propria persona. the 400 500 passengers pas before the physicians. covrse none having the veilow fever or otier comp'aint, they are all ceitified as sound in health, and the boat at once discharges its living freight clothed in vestments brought from the plague center upon St. Louis. Tue inqv'ry ‘s sugtrest- ed as to whetuer or not sucn precuutions are futile and inuad quate? A person may have the ve‘low lever in his system, an it may be days betere it breaks out. How can s simple“ scanning“ by a Coc- tor detect its presence? itis absu-d to suppc e such athing. It is the opinion in St. Louis that the quurantine regulations. as enforced on the steamer Ste. Genevieve, ave nothing more then a farce. It was expect dthat the healta authorities would detuin the vessel! at least for fo:.y-eirht hours in quarantive, and take every povsible means of disinf-ci\ing the verrcl, the passengers and their weg ing appare! and al-o to watch if exy symptoms of yellow fever develop d themselves amongst tue pas- sen; eis. There wol be no in- humanity in detaining the passengers tor this brief space, and usin’ the moi rwor- ous rea sag inst any posible dormantg ums of the plague. Un'ess so.ne such measures are adop.cd, the estublisement of quarantine scems ucele:s. Ihe Health Office.

Dr. Minor informs them that he will not al- low an) rags or baggage or hides from any point south of here to enter this citv without it can be sworn that they do not come from the port trom which they are shipped. He says that it is possible that passengers may come trom the infected district to Lcuisvilie, and there take a boat for this city. If he detects anything ot this kind he says he will not allow any baggage at all to come here fiom Louisville. Evencitizens trom that city will have to come without baggage. The Louisville Quarantine. [From the Post and News. ] The quarantine here against Memphis 18 a rigid one. Healthy persons and baggage,etc., not infected, will be allowed to pass after an inspection. Below is given Health Officer Montgomeny's notice to steamboats, which will be boarded and inspected at West Point, whichis atthe mouth of Salt River, twenty nyles down. In case of infection the best means known to disinfect will be used. The same notice will be given to the railroads. On the I.. & N. & G.

[From the Houston Age. | There is but one reason stated which could justify Galveston in the actien she has taken, and that happens to lack the essential element ot being foundedintruth.

FROM CAPE TOWN, By Cable to Western Associated Press. LONDON, July 25.—In the House of Com- mons to-day the Government announced the receipt of a telegram dated Cape Town, July 8, stating Lord Chelmsford remained in camp till the afternoon of July 3 awaiting the SURRENDER OF CANNON and the 1,000 rifles captured by the Zulus at Isandula. These not arriving he advanced and was attacked in the open country by 15,- 000 Zuius, who fled under a heavy tire of the British. Lord Chelmsford then adyanced and destroyed Ulundi. The Zulus’ loss amounted to 800. The British lost 10 killed and 53 wounded. THE BATTLE WAS FOUGHT July 4. The Zulus were yariously esti- mated at from 10,000 to 20,000. They surrounded the British troops, who formed a hollow square. The Zulus charged the square on all four sides. After the Zulus were broken by the British force they were pursued by the cavalry and utterly routed. Lord Chelmsford BURNED AND DESTROYED all military kraals and returned to his camp the same evening. AN OFFICIAL TELEGRAM from Lord Chelmsford says: Cetywayo not only failed to comply with my demands for the return of the cannon, fete, but fired on our watering parties. I consequently return- ed the cattle he had sent in and ordered a re- conneissance by Colonel Butler’s horse. ‘This caused the Zulu army to advance and show itself on the morning of July 4th. My force, consisting of Gen. Newdegate’s division and Gen. Wood’s column, aggregating 4,000 Eu- ropeans and 1,000 natives, with twelve cannon and two Gatlings, crossed Umoolosi River. AT 6:15 A. u. The foree reached an excellent position be- tween Enadwengo and Ulundi about 8:30 a. m. The Zulu army bad been observed leaying its bivouacs about 7:30 a. m. An engagement was shortly after begun by mounted men. By 9 a Zulu attack was fully developed. By 9:30 an THE EXEMY WAVERED, and the Lancers, followed by the remainder of the cavalry, attacked them, and a general rout ensued. Prisoners state that King Cety- wayo was personally commanding, and a wit- ness of the fight from a neighboring kraal. ZULU PRISONERS state that twelve regiments, aggregating 20, - 000, participated in the attack.

EXPENDITURE, sometimes, is the wisest economy. Wash its dirty linen in public. Ir cannot be repeated too often: There is no reason for any alarm or apprehension in this city. Tn executive committee of a political y should have executive sessions, and | not expose everything it does to its politi- cal antagonists. Tne Washington Post calls our good Dr. Preetorius an ‘“‘amiable old fossil.“ This is a slander. The good Doctor is as bright as he is amiable. THERE shOuld be some sense in the Cen- tral Demecratic Committee, and more ex- ecutive sessions. There are altogether too many reporters about. ATTORNEY BINSWANGER is advising his client to keep shady, and in consequence the Goldsoll trail is getting very cold. If the detective could only put 4 little salt on patetriils of this flying Dutchman, he ight possibly catch him. FALSE economy is worse than no ccono- my atall. The men who now talk about cutting down the expenses of the quaran- tine or health department are not friends but enemies of the people of St. Louis and unfit to hold a public position.

Gen. Buford was to-day found guilty by a Kentucky jury and condemned to imprisonment for life. It may be safe to believe, however, that Gen. Buford will yet escape this fate, eith- er through a new trial or through a brief incarceration in an insane asylum and an ultimate release. YELLOW FEVER is not such a bad thing after all, according to temperance advo- cates. They have scized upon it as a basis of argument, and triumphantly show that while the deaths from the pestilence dur- ing the last ten years only aggregate 21,- 000, those from the excessive use of alco- hol sum up 650,000. Clearly, we ought to quarantine against whisky. — —— — — Mrurms is greatly afflicted, but we should not forget the hardships of Cincin- nati, Rhino subjected to the attend- int horrors of a Congressional investigat- ing committee.

If it was due toa desire for popu- arity and the appearance of economy, the _‘gmaill-fry politicians will miserably fail in f their object.

Fifteen new cases were reported to the Board of Health this morning, and the fever 1s spreading to the northern dis- ‘trict of the city, which has thus far been exempt from the pestilence. The outlook is as serious as it could well be, and it must be considered a most lucky thing that the stricken city was so promptly emptied of the larger part of its population. Of the few thousands of people now left in Memphis a large percentage had the fever last year, and as a consequence it will have little to feed upon now. Neverthe- less, the situation is deplorable, and it will take at least six weeks for the disease to exhaust itself. AND the Beecher case! Such atrial!

Such a farce! A reproach to the court, the profession, the people and the Republic. As a legal pro- ceeding it was a mockery. Sworn for the express purpose of examining impartially and judicially, these judges committed wholesale perjury under the very lead of this same Justice Miller upon the preposterous assertion never heard of before that they had only the right to decide, but no right to eramine, or hear, or consider any evidence, or have any investigation whatever before they decided. Fraud, crime, perjury, forgery, were all nothing in the eyes of the partisan vote of seven to eight. Judge Miller, who was one of the perjurous eight, is the last man in the United Statesto talk about a mock trial. THE St. Louis Post-DiIspaTcuH institutes a comparison of what five of the New Engtand States did to suppress the rebellion with what was done by the five ‘border Staies. Now, will the PosT-DISPATCH next tell us what the comparison is between what the two sec- tions did to support the rebellion’—[State and quality than any other weekly published | Journal. This is smart,“ but will not The very question shows the usual Republican do. There were no sections in the sense believed, at least we have shown with official figures of the War Department that five States,which Re- publicans insist to cali “rebel““ anda part of the „solid South,“ sent 501,612 soldiers into the Union to bellion, or 76,549 more than were five New England States. The point is to show that when Republican leaders insist upon calling everything the solid South’’ and „rebel“ that is Democrat, they are to the Union. Tennessee, army suppress the re- sent by false. Missouri was true Kentucky remained faithful. West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware helped more and fought more to save the Union than New England. Yet New England, under the lead of Blaine and Edmunds, has the audacity to assume superior pa- triotism over the border States, and call them rebel. This is the point. QUESTIONS ABOUT MR. TILDEN. and cheated out of his place he would have no prospect whatever for 1880. It is this strong central fact upon which Mr. Tilden’s candidacy is based. His own partisans and friends admit this stantly emphasizing the point ef his elcetion by con- in 1876. ‘It is due to him,“ runs the phrase. “He was elected in 1876 and cheated out of the Presidency; it is due to him in 1880.“ There is no doubt strength of this the only strength Mr. Tilden has. about the This and his supposed ability to carry New York alone make Mr. Tilden still a Presidential possibility. But both claims are shallow and false, and do not bear scrutiny. On the contrary—precisely the reverse is true, 2 Mr. Tilden has utterly lost his prestige, and with the mask of reform he also lost the State of New York, which he can never carry again. The country does not owe the Presidency to Mr. Tilden. that office to the country. duty to serve the present term, after the It was the viola- On the contrary, he owes It was his solemn people had elected him. tion of a sacred trust when he failed to ac- cept the high office, permitted it to be filched out of his hands without even a murmur of protest or the slightest asser- tion of his right and duty. But while, really, Mr. Tilden owes the Presidency to the country, and the country generously discharges the debt, Mr.Tilden’s friends insist that has a mortgage upon the Presidency. Well, let us see. There are a few questions which the Til- denites should consider carefully. Would they demand Mr. Tilden’s nom- ination if they knew his defeat was certain? Would they demand a second term for Tilden if they felt sure that the second would be precisely like his first, the present term? Is not this one term of Tilden more than enough? But even if Mr. Tilden should be elected in 1880—which we, with a great many others, regard as an extremely improbable possibility—what would be gained by it? Would it not be the height of folly for the Democracy to disregard the lesson of 1877 by again electing the same person, who would again be kept out of office?

If Mr. phy- Tilden submitted . in 1876 he will be sure to submit in 1880. If the Republicans dared to steal the Presidency in 1876, when it seemed a novel proceeding, they will cer- tainly repeat or try to repeat the. perform- ance in 1880. Mr. Tilden is not the man and will not be the man for 1880. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. New York World (Dem.): The case in favor of Gov. Robinson, which makes him beyond question the strongest candidate the Democrats can name, is that under his administration the government of New York, so far as he could control it, has been honest, efficient and econ- omical. Vicksburg Herald (Dem.): Any one with a grain ot folesight can see the more conserva- tive and patient the South can be the less the danger of Grantism. Itisa plain proposition forthe South to defeat Grant's nomination. But not by glorying in reconstructed women and spouting Bourbonism. Texas Register (Rep.): The Post-DISPATCH says that the rivalry and jealousy between Ew- ing and Thurman is flxed and inevitable. It also believes that Mr. Ewing’s chances of election are ‘‘extremely doubtful and uncer- tain.’’ It is a rare thing tora Democratic pa- per to speak so plainly as this. New Orleans Times (Dem.): The war was not ade facto and arbitrary occupation of the country, whose results were only obligatory until they could be repealed orevaded. It was a war bravely, skillfully, deliberately and in- verted question, and all the States and people of the Union are bound, in honor as well as in wisdom ,to respect and abide by its arbitrament. Richmond State (Dem.): We are getting rather tired of that old platitude we hear from every orator: arinies, the men who did the fighting, been the men consulted, the war would have been at an end when the fighting was done.’’ There is very little, if any, truthinit. The soldiers on both sides, with few exceptions, have been as irreconcilable and done as much to | keep alive the resenttul spirit of the war as the civilians, who are greatly misrepresented by this glittering generality.

When such voters are asked to punish the trauds of 1876, it must be in the name of some candidate who cannot possibly be assailed in connection with the Or- egon and the cipher and the Conkling scan- dals. If the independent voters of the country think that Mr. Tilden is smirched by those scandals, andif the Democratic party so be- | haves as to smirch itself with them, there will be no more chance of electing a Democratic President in 1880 than there will be of electing a Greenback candidate of the ‘‘fiat’’ type.

This is why Mr. Dorsheimer will in future have a high- er respect for the professional reporter and less for the orator. Abolish the States!—A New Way to Break Up the Union. From the New York Tribune. | All changes in the future will be in the direction, not of restriction, but of enlarge- of the right of suffrage. The people, what- ever Democratic politicians may think, are really disgusted with the changeable, conflict- ing and vexatious regulations of the States. They ure citizens, not of a State, but of the United States. Intheir dearest rights they want the steady. equal and powerful protec- tion which the National Government alone can give. The chief defect of existing laws is that they only scratch the surface. More will be done before ten years have passed toinsure a Government of the United States by the peo- ple of the United States, and not by legislative tricks, rifle-clubs, State boards, bands of re- peaters or bribed electors. 1 ES, eee A Mystery—What Does it Mean?

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In your paper of the 8th inst., I have read underthe editorial head the following paragraphs: The question is generally asked, Did Gov. Gratz Brown's letter have anything to do with Mr. Bingham’s death?’ We had some scruples about publishing Governor Brown’s brilliant and powerful letter in reply to Mr. Bingham. But we did not dream there would be so sudden and unexpected a finale. ‘‘There is one promise which poor Mr. Bingham has not kept, and for which he will never be blamed.’’ The following letter came to the editor of the POST- DISPATCH, a few days ago, and explains itself: »I have read with great care and interest the letter of our friend Governor Brown, which appeared in your issue of Saturday. I will en- deavor to prepare an answer to it as soon as I receive a letter or two which will have some bearing upon the questien at issue.

BINGHAM’'S REPLY. ex-Governor of Mis- souri: Sik:—I bave read with great care ancdinterest your letter in the PosST-DISPATCH of the 28th Without intending to disparage any intellectual effort of vours when made in a good cause, Lam inclined to think that those who may ve led to examines this masicerly defense will conclude that the author ot the heeding, Which purports to characterize it, had but a poor conception of the article thus introduced to the public. You say, with even more than childlike sim- plicuy, that vou have not entered into „the rightfulness or wrongfulness of this order as ah military cessity and do not intend to.’’ With naive confession on your part, Low can it apparenttoan ordinary intellect that your letter is a masterly vindication of an order ugainst which nothing has been urged but its wrongiulness, and which can only be vindicat- ed by establisbingits rightfulness.It is certain Jy a strange vindication ot an order that does not touch the only issues made iu regard to it. You may, yerhaps, say that you intended to constitute a military necessity, but you have omitted todothis, and neither Ewing, nor Schofield, nor any of their triends have ever attempted it. Nothing shert of an urgent mili- tury necessity, indeed, can possibly justify the expulsion from their rightful homes of a large life. Andif you did not intend to enter into the rigutfulness or wrongfulness of the order as a military necessity, your readers will certainly be ata loss to discovei the reason impelled you to thrust yourself as fh volunteer into this contro- versy, and spread yourself over two columns and ahalt of a newspaper, unless for the mere purpose of reconstructing your politi- cal associations, and placing yourself in line with what you perhaps regard isa grow- ing party in this State, headed by your succes- sorinthe United States Senate, who, while | canvassing for a Democratic nomination, ridi- culed our tellow citizens of African descent, as intellectually but slightly above the monkey tribe, fit only for the cotton fleids ot the South, und boldly declared that they should be de- prived of the rights ot citizenship and remand- ed to serfdom. You intor1m the public that you do not intend to tollow me down into the mire ot defamation. It is true, sir, vou do not follow me in that direc- tion, but you go down alone, leaving me above. Defamation consists of falsehood ot the most reprehensible kind, and until you shall be able toshow that Il have given utterance to a ma- licious untruth either in regard to yourself or your record, which I here challenge you to do, all impartial persons will believe that the grave accusation which youthus direct against me can be huried with far greater truth against yourself. You state that, having made various charges concerning Gen. Ewing.“ I insist that the char- acter of that gentleman shall be tested by those statements nlone.’’ You must pardon me for designating this assertion of yours asa gross and unwarranted misrepresentation, I ais tinctly stated, as you well know, ‘‘that these parts ot his history to which I have referred, if truly set forth,constitute the only basis upon which his charaeter should rest.’’ When read- ing this declaration of mine, you had, right before your eyes, an extract from a letter writ- ten by Gen. Richard C. Vaughn, of Lexington, a gentieman ot high standing, culture and un- impeachable veracity, whom you know well, and who was (not like yourself, a thousand miles off) an eye-witness of the horrors at- tending the enforcement of this infamous edict, and you well know when you thus misrepre- sented my statement, that this letter frem Gen. Vaughn fully indorsed my charges against Gen. Ewing as true in everv particular. My reply to Gen. Schofield, embracing all these charges, was indorsed by every member of our State Legislature, representing the coun- ties within the limits of the desolated district, and there is not now a 9 citizen, who lived within the district at the time of the enforcement of the order, who will venture te deny the truth of whatl nave pub- lished in regard to it. And 1 Lere present AN EXTRACT from a recent editorial in the Independence Sentinel, published at the county seat of Jack- son County, where the operation of this infa- mous order was witnessed in all its horrors. As the paper favors Ewing’s election, it cannot be supposed that it would do him injustice. The extract says: Gen. Bingbam has written a letter on the nomination of Gen. Thos. Ewing, of Order No. 11 notoriety, for Governor of Ohio, which we find published in the Kansas City Mail, and transfer to our columns. It oc- cupies nearly two columns—an extent of space not usually devoted by newspapers to discus- sions of the moral qualities of actions which have become historical. We would not make an exception in this case did we not believe that, ot all men, Gen. Bingham is entitled to be heard by the people of this district on mat- ters pertaining to the exodus of 1863. His dauntless warfare against the tyranny ot that period, and tearless vindication since of the -plundered people; bis well-known devotion to principle and courage in the ance of duty; his contempt of the arts of professional politicians and merciless excoriations of the demagogues are in all the memories of the * le and procure always frum him a respect- ul bearing. The truth of bis rehearsal of the facts of his portrayal ot the intamies of Order No. 11, in this connnunication, can no more be denied now, after the lapse of sixteen years, than at the time of their occurrence. None dare deny it * In view of such attestations of the truth of what I bave said in regard to this order, and whieh, if necessary, would be echoed in a thousand voices from those who suffcred un- der the harsh and cruel mandate, I may safely leave it to your own conscience, if nature has endowed you with sucha faculty, to rende! jadgusent as to the moral quality of your base- oss assertion that I insist that th echaracter of — Ewing shall be tested by my statements alone. You again refer to your conversation with me in my studio, in which you repre- sent me as saying that the great atrocity of the order was that it forced Union families, as well as Rebel families, to leave their homes, 8 publishec L hordes of armed a bands, organize in the State of Kans&S, were permitted to throw themselves upon our defenseless peopte, stripping them of everything — — ev 5 sacri vitig them o means of conveyance or transportation, such as their urgent n : torch was freely used, and dense — ef smoke from lessened ited. All this, too, was fully known to Gen. Ewing. Reports reached him continually in regard what was oa e; and, alt ~ Pa an ample foree command, a potis- sue a er or litt a h t On the contrary, those most prominent in this dia- bolical work of robbery, devastation and mur- der had free access to his douarters, and no crime which they saw proper to commit re- ceived arebuke, much less punishment, from him. A poor, innocent citizen named Rout was arrested, ¢ast into his military prison within a stone’s throw of his headquarters, and the next morping was found in the Mis- souri River a corpse, with a chalu or rope around his neck. Another citizen named Crenshaw, a well-to- do farmer and a Republican in politics, was arrested and confined in the same prison, and compelled by threats of murder to make to his persecutors a bill of sale to a lar lot ot mules amountin to thousands of dollars in value. He woul then have been murdered to silence his tongue; but fortunately his situation became known to the military authorities in St. Louis, by whom Gen. Ewing was ordered to send him to that city, which placed his life beyond danger. And I have good authority tor stating, and can at any time give the name of wy witness, that GEN. EWING in parting with him warned him to say noth- ing of the treatment he had received, threaten- ingly assuring him if he did he would not be responsible for the consequences. These facts, which are notorious in Kansas City, and with which all the inhabitants living there at the time are perft«ctly familiar, clearly show that Euing was in intimate association with the basest criminals, whose robberies and mur ders were perpetrated almost in his presence, and which, it he did not approve, he at least pei mitted. You charge that my assertion ‘‘that Quan trell and his band had leit the State at the time this order was issued,’’ is entirely gratuitous, and ask Low did I know the guerrilla chief had Jett? My highest authority is the report of Gen. Ewing himself, who followed him at a ‘cautious distance immediately aiter the sack- ing of Lawrence, Yougsayifhe had left what was to present bis return at anytime. I an- swer that any real soldier with forces at his command in numbers cqualtothose of Gen. Ewing could have prevented his return by making it exccedingly dangerous fur him to do so. Butthe depopulation ofthe district was nothing less than anirvitation for him to re- turn, as it lett it opon to his occupancy with- out any one to give information of his move- ments, andirom which as a covert he couid operate unchecked upon adjoining and equally populous countics. There were loyal men enough inthe district to have protected them- selves and property from both busbwhackers and red-legs, had they ben ullowed to keep urms, as were their imm diate neighbors in Kansas, but that would not have leit them a prey to the depredations of the red-legs and otber lawless bands from that State, whom Ewing permitted to plunder at pleasure. upd who, immediately upon the publication of his order, moved down upon them and swept into Kansas every speeies ol property, amounting in velue to millions of dollars, which belonged tothe exiled inhabit- ants. Such announcement as this, which I read in a Kansas paper. gives some idea, thougha taint one, of the rapocity which impoverished our people: Col. Lynde bas just returned from a successful expedition into Missouri, bringing with him, as evidence ot his energy and skill, eleven hundred head of stock.’’ You censure me for designating the state- ment obtained from Schofield and published by Ewing in his defense asa wicked, deliberate andeven Satanic falsehood. The statement declared that the order was an act of wisdom, courage and humanity. That itsaved the lives of hundreds of innocent people; that not a life waslost by it. That it caused no great incon- venience to any ol the inhabitants and that the wants of the poor werefall provided for. Now, sir, I] challenge you to name a single in- telligent and respectable citizen among any of the remaining twenty odd thousand innabit- unts who suffered under the order, who will venture over his the truth of this starement. You dare not af- firm its truth, tor if youdoa thousand wit- nesses will be ready to proclaim your utter cisrezard of truth. Itissimply a plea of ‘‘Not guilty’ tono more credit than found in actual possession which he bad stolen. GEN. FRANK BLAIR, the embodiment of all that, was noble and chivalrous, denounced the order at the time as an act of imbecility. Gen. Richard C. Vaugbn, then in military command inthe ad- the denial ot a tnief ot the ofthe borrors attending its enforcement, de- nounces it as being 'the cause of more suffer- ing than all the other incidents of the war combined.’’ Gen. Odon Guitar, commanding in the imme- diate vicinity on the north side of the river, bas always spoken. of it as one of the most atrocious edicts ever issued. I my:elf was present when the infamous mandate was beingenforced. I witnessed suc- ecssive piocessions of dejccted and despairing women, with their bareheaded and bare- footed children, as they fled half clotbed irom their burned dwellings and desolated farms. I subsequently passed across the desolated district. It was a drear and melancholy waste, marked byruin and devastation, in whatever direction the eye might turn. Where recently had stood elegant mansions, the homes of comfort and wealth, seared and blackened chimneys only could be seen, some of which yet remain as memorials of the great military achievement of your hero, Gen. Tom Ewing. How proud you must teel in the consciousness of having enjoyed the ‘‘friendship’’ of such a man, extending even to ‘‘a considerable degree of intimacy with him!“ With such combined testimony of military men against the veracity of his pica, aside | from my own personal Knowledge of its utier want of truth, why should 1 not denounce it as a wicked talsehood? And as it was a false- hood invented to excuse one of the greatest crimes recorded in modern history, why shoald I not denounce it asa Satanic talsehood, it being impossible that such falsehoods should ema- nate from otherthan a Satanic source? Is there any principle in our Democracy which should impel me to characterize a false- hood uttered by zuch a military chieftain iu mere courteous terms than would be due to a like violation ot truth committed by an kumble laborer who contributed tothe revenue which enabled bimtosport the epaulettes which he dishonored. There was atime, sir, when you exhibited no such deference towards those in high position, atime when yon denounced this false witness (Schofield) put torward by Ewing as@ sympa- thizer with rebels, and urged his removal from the department under his command. If there were any facts within your knowledge upon which you could justly predicate such a charge, he wasatraitor. It no such facts were known to you, you were a calumniator. You have had ample time to settle the matter between you. How does it stand? Ewing, a bitter and intolerant Radical. At the time this order was issued, Ewing was a bitter, persecuting and intolerant Radical, and. like yourself, regarded all Democrats as rebels and rebel sympathizers. ‘To stifle the voice of theDemocratic press every where in loud protest against the lawl. ssness and tyranny which was urged, aided and abetteu by you and your revolutionary partisans, he invaded the pre- cincts of the Postal Department, and issucd his imperial mandate against the delivery or cir- culation by postmasters, or others, of leading Democratic papers of the North. That this may not rest upon my assertion alone, although 1 think the public will regard my veracity us unimpeachable as yours, I here present an ex tract from GENERAL ORDERS NO. 4. LL EADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF THE BORDER, KANSAS CiTy, Mo., July 8, 1863. General Order No. 21, District of Kansas, June 11, 1863, prohibiting the circulation or delivery by postmasters,or others, of the news- apeis known as the Caucasian, the Chicago mes, the Crisis, the Cincinnati Enquirer and the New York World, * * 0 bd are hereby declared in force throughout this dis- trict. By order of Brig.-Gen. Ewing. H. HANNAHS, First Lieutenant and A. A. A. Gen. I have only omitted some other matters in the order having no relation to the portions quoted. This order was notorious at the time and has just been re- zu bolished from the advertising columns of the ‘ansas City Journal ot Commerce, of July 9th, 1863. How these journals now stand in the estimation ot Ewing, or now he stands in their estimation, I do not attempt to state. I think, however, that they must de exccedingly stolid if they do not perceive that his acts when in possession of power diverged widely trom his resent professions while he is seeking power. ‘here are MANY OTHER MATTERS of a like nature which this discussion may bring out, all tending to show how admirably this bold warrior, who vanqvished, despotied and put to flight thousands of women and children, is fitted to be the nominee of a party whose cardinal principles be repudiated, and the circulation of whose accredited journals he suppressed. You — from a paper now published at In- dependence,Jackson county, pretending to give you a history of the condition of our border at the date of this order, arging me with malignity in the representations I have we 4 in relation thereto, but the editor of that sheet was as far from the scenes which I have depicted as was yourselt.

I challenge you to point out astugle quota- tion made trom your specches, by me, which is not literally correct and which does not con- vey the precise meaning which I have attribut- ed to it. They are taken from the context, it is true, like grains of wheat from bushels of chaff, but nevertheless, they express what you meant, it you mean, anything at all. You say, you confess that you have no rev- erence for the Soiemn League and Cov- enant under which I shelter my loyulty.’’ That is, the Constitution ofour country. You can take an Oath to support it, however, and, when secure in office, disregard it. This is what LAW AND MORALITY defines to be perjury. I give you tne full ben- efitof your confession. You intimate that I have“ become morbid about my picture, and insinuate that a desire to make it known is the motive which prompts mein my exposure of Ewing's criminality. Men who, like you, are supremely selüsh, can never recognize a disin- terested motive in others. The picture is nat mine; and, if a desire to advertise it existed, it has been fully gratified by your friend Edwards, of the Sedalia Democrat, who is alike the champion of Ewing, Quantrell and the bank and express robbers whose murders and dep- redations for years buck have excited the pub- lic attention. Speaking oI the order, he says: „The genius of a celebrated painter, Capt. G. C. Biagham, of Missouri, has been evoked to give infamy tothe vandalism or the deed and a voice to the indignation of history over its consummation. Bingham’s picture of the burning and plundered houses, ofasky made awful with mingled flame and smoke, of a long train of helpless fugitives going away they know not whither, of appealing women and gray -haired non-combatants, of 8 <iele- ton chimneys rising like wrathful and accusing things from the wreck of pillaged homesteads, of uniformed things called officers rummaging in trunks aad draw- ers, of colonels loaded with plunder, and cap- tains gaudv with stolen jewelry, will live longer than the memories of the strife, and keep ahve after guerrilla and javhawker are weil forgotten, manhood’s stubborn hatred of the thief, and the honest soldier’s right tous horror over battle flags borne aloft to petty larceny or pitifal picking and steal- ing. Continuing on the order this now champion otf Ewing says: For nearly three weeks Jackson county was a pandemonium, together with the counties of Cass, Bates, Vernon, Clay Depopalation was going on at u two-fold rate, one by emigration or exodus | and one by the killing of perpetual ambush- | ments andlyingsin wait.’’ He says, however, that Generali Order No. 11 came trom district headquarters at St, Louis, where Schofield commanded, and Schofield trom Washington City direct. Bat Schosield is better authority on this point than Kdwards. In the letter of the former to kw- int he savs: ‘‘The measure was proposed ey vou (Ewing.)’’ And I here present evidence showing conclusively that Ewing is xione responsible for the order in its very in- ception: St. JOSEPH, Mo., Nov. 27, 1877. DEAR SIR:—In consequence of my absence from home, 1 did not receive yours of the 17th My recollection is that [ No. 1] was issued, and asked him to revoke it. My impression is that the General said he days, and that his would have it revoked. It may be promise as to the revocation of uncenditional. This cenversation it with yours, truly, : WILLARD P. HALL. COLUMBIA, Mo., July 4, 1879. C. Bingham: DEAR SIR:—In response te your request that I should state what I know touching the mo- tive, history and results of General Ewing's Order No, ll referred to, I have to state at the date ot the issue of that order, Augast 25, 1863, Ius in command, under General J. M. Scboftield, of the ‘‘ District of North Missouri, comprising alithat partof the State north of the Missouri River, and separated trom Gen. Ewing’s district by it. I bad an interview with General Schofield in regard to the order in question a short time after its promulgation, in which he disapproyv- ed the orderin unqualified terms, and stated his purpose to reyoke it at once or have it done. coneurred with Gen. Sehofield fuilyin his views of tne inexpediency and injustice of the order. At the time the order was issued an expedi- tion was being fitted up in Kansas to make a Missouri in retaliation for the Luw- vised, as he informed me atthe time. This in- cursion was checkmated and prevented by the movement of troops, indicated in the following telegraphic order: Macon, Mo., August 27, 1863. Col. John F. Williams, St. Joseph, Mo.: Ihave this moment receiveda dispatch from Ewing advising me that he believed an expedition was being fitted out at Leavenworth to make a raid across the river into Missauri. Such a movement must be promptiy met and resisted. You had better perhaps send Maj. | Garth down opposite Leavenworth with Co. B to keep watch upon their movements. You will also notify Capt. Garth at Liberty to move with his command to Wyandotte. You will also notify your troops above St. Joseph, near the river, to be on the alert and take such steps as will checkmate any movement in that direc- tion. If men cross into Missouri to repeat the outrages Quantrell and his murderers have just consummated in Kansas, no matter under what pretext, Iwantthem met with bloody hands.’’ Keep me promptly advised of every hostile indication und movement. (Signed) e O. GUITAR, Brig.-Gen. Commanding, MY OVINION was then concurred in, I believe, by every cit- izen of this State, soldier or civilian, that the order in question was prompted vy the spirit of retaliation then fiercely burning in Kansas on accouift of the recent Lawrence butch- ery,’’ and issued in obedience to the demands of the ‘‘red leg element of that State. There were two reasons which rendered any other conclusion impossible. First—It a measure of necessity and its ob- ject to protect tue lives and property of the de- populated counties of Missouri against the in- | cursions of ‘‘rebel marauders,’’ with whom a majority of their inhabitants were supposed to be in sympathy, why was not the same gener- ous protection extended to the citizens of the contiguous border counties of Kansas, for whom these marauders entertained the bitter- est batred? It seems ‘‘sauce for the goose’’ was not sauce for the gander.’’ Second—How did it happen that, immediate ly upon the promulgation. of the order (if not before) the ‘‘red leg banditii'’ of Kansas sv armed over the line into Missouri and com- menced the track of devastation and plunder- ing; the coincidence of these events was too marked to be accidental. I have always thought and said, and stiil en- tertain the opinion, that the measurein ques- tion, in any light in whieh it can be viewed, was unnecessary, unwise, cowardly and barvarous, and I have no hesitation in expressing my sym- pathy with your @fforts to canonize it as one of the monument? of military despotism and in- famy, which stand out now and then as bea- cons on the pages of history, to keep us off the rocks on which others have split. Respectfully, O. GUITAR. With this further evidence thus presented the merits al this controversy are submitted to the candid judgment ot every honest and en- lightened citizen. Respectfully, G. C. BINGHAM. What Jersey City Girls Live Upon. Dr. Gordon, chemist to Messrs. Lorfllard & Co., tobacco manufactures in Jersey City, who employ over three thousand female operatives, is made te say in the New York Tunes the fol- lowing as to the causes of hysteria among these women and girls: One cause ot the prevaleuce of hysteria among tbe girls is insufficient food. Most cf them earn from $12 to $15 per week, but they prefer to dress extravagantly rather than to live well. At dinner they buy a few ap- ples or cakes at the nearest corner. In h weather they are careless about walking in the sun, get over-heated and drink ice-water to excess. A girl came to him on Saturday after- noon and complained of cramps. ‘‘What did you have for breaktast?’’ said the doctor. **I didn’t have any breakfast, doctor.“ „Well, what did you have for dinner? went home, I suppose? Les, and ate some boiled cabbage. «: Nothing else but boiled cabbage?’’ No, str.“ And you have been drinking ice-water all day, I suppose?’’ Les, sir.

Expenses of the Pelice Department, To the Editor of the Post-Disvatch: I notice that in tne discussion of the appro- priation bill in the House of Delegates Monday night, when the item for the Police Depart- ment was under consideration, Compirolier Adreon stated that a devt of the old Police Board, of $40,000, had to be paid. Now, Mr. Adreon knows pertectiy well the. facts of the case; that be himself created about $23,000 of this so-called debt, and should have stated the whole truth, instead of making a statement calculated to deceive or misicad tae members. Here are the facts: The ‘‘pay-rolis’’ of the force for the month ending April lst, 1879, the last mouth of fiscal year, amount- ed to little less $39,000. The d Board’’ nad to their credit in the Treasury nearly $23,000, or about $16,000 less than enough to pay the men. Tue old board only nceded and asked for this $16,000. City Treasurer Patrick offered to take the re- sponsibility of advancing this sum and warned the acting president that if bis offer was not accepted we weuld iose this $23,000. What has bcen the result? Why, Mr. Adreon furnished, or advanced the money to pay the whole pay roll, say $40,000, and then on the Sth of April, the gining of the now fiscal ear, covers our $23,000 into the city treasury and then coolly tells the Council — the old ney al nt $16,000. city in the Mr. Adre knows that they were 4 said, 4. tries in they will be declared in a state of s:ege. lated policy tardiness ot Turkey in carrying ous proposed reforms.

The Freight Hands. of 15 Railroads Stand Firm for $1 25. Conference of the Agents this Horn- ning, Without Result. — The Ooopers Continue to Hold Out. No Strike Contemplated by the Cloth- ing Cutters. The Railroad Companies Already Compromising. East St. Louis is redeeming iis bed reputa- tion as the ‘‘Bioody Burg.’’ Although a stiike has been in progress since Monday, it is as peaceable and orderly as ever. The freigrt depots of the various railroad lines are located along the levee. A visit this morning dic- closed the fact that no freight was being han- died at any depot but the Chicago and Alton, where only about half the hands have quit work, the others still keeping on. Tnis road pays their old platforin men better than the other lines, and as they are rcceiv- ing $1 15jand free bridge passes besides the op- portunity of making over-time they are satisfic4 to let well-enough alone. The numberof men now on a strike is about 200. This morning, in bodies of tens and twenties, they were loaf- ing around the levee and discussing the ‘‘siir- ation.“ They all expressed a determination not to go to work before they were paid $1 25 per day. The lines now on which theve are no men working are the Indianapolis and St. Louis, including the minor roads whose freight thev handle, the Vandalia, Ohio and Mississippi and the bash, while only about half men are working on the Chicago and Alton, This morning several of the companies insert- ed advertisements in the newspapers calling formen. Only one or two laborers crossed the bridge in search of the employment, but they returned in double-quick time when they found out that a strike was in progress. This is a remarkable fact, and shows that the labor- ing classes are in sympathy withthe move- ment. The strikers REFRAIN FROM AI.L THREATS of violence, and say it any men are willing to work for a dollara day they can doso. Along conterence was held this morning in the freight oft.ce of tne Chicago and Alton Rail- road by the agent: of the respective lines. After along and protractcd discussion, it was found that no agreement could be arr.vcd at, and the meeting broke up. Another conference will take place late this afternoon, when it is expected that something detinite will be re- solved upon. Mayor Joyce, of East St. Louis, to-day re- ceived the following telegram irom O. A. Beecher, Solicitor- General of the O. aud M. Railroad: SALEM, ILL., July 23. lion. Maurice Joyce Etat St. Louis: Please do what you can to-day to piotcct our men im their work aging inter.ere ice by strikers C. A. BEECHER. In reply Mayor Joyce tel graph d Mr. B ech- er besuing bim that eve’ythineg would be done to preserve peace. He a'so instructed C‘iy Marshal Renshaw to detail a number of poli e to watch the freight var ds on Front fstree.,aid also to report upon tne condition of affe ius ut the Ohio and Mississippi yards. In view of the fact thet up to the present the strikerc have notin any way interfered et tne various yards, the above telegram scems pra- mature. It inay. however, be sienificart a- foreshadowing the rc._oive of the diiferent cou panies not te accede to the demands of the men, butto obtain other bauds who will work for the wares they are ding to pay, and in cause tne strikeis should at.einpt to prevent them working, the police will be at hand to protect them. Tbe companies, however, must have better luck in getting workmeutuan they have had upto the present. Latest. The O. and M. hands went to work at one o’ciock. Mr. Davidson, the treight agent of the road, effectcd a compromige with the nien. The basis ot the agrcement is that what they call the ‘‘sorters’’ shall be paid $1 25 per day, and the other hands $1 10. The I. andSt. L. men are still out, but it is thought that before evening all the roads will come to some agreement with their hands, so that in the morning work will be iesumed. The Coopers. The poor'y paid coopers held another mect- ing at Vorwacrits Turn- Hall this morning, kur. Coffey in the chair. The usual number were present and the procecdings harmonſous, each proposition puttotne houseinthe shape ota motion being carried unanimonsly. Mr. C. A. Fenton, chairman ofthe Santtary Committee, reported that he had visited sev- eral cooper-shops and found they were using second-hand barrels, the insides of which were musty andin some cases filthy. He had made out alist of the shops using these barrels and would report them to the Board of Health to- morrow. Mr. Louis Kline responded that the workmen at Mr. Thomas Jacobs’ shop, Fifteeuth and Wash streets, had taken away their tools as ordered by the meting ye: terday. One ofthe strikers stated that Mr. Wunder- lich, proprietor of a shop on the corner o! Ninth an I Monroe sticet , had demanded tat all coopers refusin’ to ‘work should remove their tools. Amot’on was made and carr'ed that the demand of Mr. Wunderlich be s.tis- ficd. Mr. John Samuels, of the glass blowe”s’ union, addresscd the meeting, ercouraging the strikers to reme*n firm until thcir obj ct 1s accomplishec. Mr. Frank Hall, of the Louis Bectf Canning Company. East St. Louis, stuted that fiitcen coopers ont of twenty-iive wo king for that institution rau stopped work. The waves paid by the Canri: - Company are eleven dollais a week and car fare. Theincrease demanded is one dollar. The number will meet to-morrow with those of this city. A vote ot thanks to the coopers and e't'zens of Staunton, III., for pccuniaty assistar.ce was ordered. Mr. W. H. Hilkiney, a prominent working- man, pr-osident of the cigay-makers’ union, made a few remarks, setting forth the import- ance oi tne present Strike, and the good eff ct it would have upon other trades should it suc- ceed. Mr. L. C. Volmer collected and turned over $2 50 contributed by workmen in Hayden & Allen’s harnecs shop, and $5 85 from employes of P. J. Peters. Mr. Fcnton spoke a few minutes, and atthe conclusion of his speech the mceting adjourn- ed until 2 o’clock to-morrow morning. The Clothing Cutters Will Not Strike. it was stated in a morning paper that the clothing cutters of tue city would probabiv strike on Monday; that they are now receiving $15 and want $18. This is untrue. In the first place, no untform price is paid 15 clothing cutters. ‘They are hired just asclerks or salesmen are hired, a workman being compensated accord. ing to the anoartand characterof his work. Most of the skilled cutters ofthe city are now receiving $18 a week, the same they goi in 1873, and as a ciass they aie better paid than any other class of mechar ies.

My tirst impulse when spoken to on this subject was to decline a candidacv, because the position is attended with very considerable labor, and is one of great responsibility and trust.

I have been aware of this fact for many years, and this is the solution: The high ground at the water tower, on account of the bend in the river, is quite neariy surrounded by water, and the pure air comes trom the fresh waterof the Mississippi River, unmixed with the many de- bilitating gases that arise from a great city. The same purity of air can be found upon the center ot the bridge, upon & terryboat in crossing the river, or upon a Mississippi steamer in mid- stream. In the treatment of debility cases I have frequently recom- mended patients to this river air, and with highly satisfactory results, after the heat of our long summer days. If our citizens will, with their wives and children, mrke frequent visits tothe Bridge, to Water Tower Heights, to the ferry boats, to the ex- cursion steamers, etc., they will fina then- selves retreshed and improved in vigor. In fact we have healthful summer resorts at home and the river view from Water Tower Heights is one of the lineat n the world. Docro. Second District Police Court.

July 23.—The Republican State Convention met this morning in the liouse of Representatives, and was called to order by Mr. Quay, chairman of the State com- mittee. There was a full attendance, Louis W. Hall was chosen temporary chair- man, and he addressed the Convention. He arraigned the Democ:atic party for its course iu Congress since coming into power; praised the minority, and thanked President thave S for his attitude during the extra sessiong. CHOKING OFF DEBATE. A resolution was adopted ordering reference of all resolutions without debate to the Com- wittee on Platiorm. THE RIOT BILL. Mr. Wolfe then asked to have read a resolu- tion declaring that, in view of developments of corrupt practices in connection with the. riot bill in the last House, we em phatically reaflirm that part of the Republican platform of 1875 and 1876 which demands honest men in office— men with brains enough to know dishonesty when they sec it, and courage enough to fight it whenever they find it.’’ A ROW OVER THE RESOLUTION. The Chair declared Mr. Wolfe out of order and refused to entertain his appeal. Mr. Wolte insisted that he bad a right to de- mand a reading of the resolution, and Senator Cooper of Delaware, and Represe ntative Bar- rett of Lackawanna, took the same view. Theie was considerable commotion, but on motion of Senator Cooper the resolution was received. f Mr. Mapes, of Venango, then offered a reso- lution which he insisted should be read, but wus ruled out of order, and further discord wes prevented by Mr. gv moving a comuit- tee on resolutions be made.
