It seems that this morning Geo. Abell and John J. Cherry were playing a game of cards in Vannuok's saloon, oh Cotton avenue. During the progress of the game a qanrrel arose between tbe two men, and from high words tbey finally oame to blows. Abell knocked Cherry down. Dr. Cromwell W. John? son interfering, Abell drew a navy re? volver and fired at him, bat the ball struok a button on Dr. Johnson's coat and glanced off without doing him any damage. Tbe next shot was at Cherry, and took effect in his bowels, inflicting what will probably prove to be a mortal wound. Before any one could stop or disarm him, Abell then pointed tbe pistol at bis own breast just below the heart, fired and tbe mau tell heavily iu his tracks. Thore is some slight chance for Cherry, but Abell'* case is clearly hopeless.

Washington, March 4.?Mrs. Gaiues has sued Caleb Cashing for $200,001) ?be). In a despatoh in Sunday's N*'w I Orleans papers, tbe word "she qnotes" was made "be qaotea." Tbe following fanny thing is from the New York World, in regard to Mrs. Gaines' charges: "Tbe writer, yesterday, called on Mr, Gashing, and asked him what he thought about tho quasi charges brought by Mrs. Gaines against Judgo Duiell. Mr. Gushing said that his position as counsel in the ease prevented bim from 1 revealing professional secrete; but be felt at liberty to state that be knew of nothing in Durell's conduct in relation to Mrs: Gainea that was dishonorable or unbeflttiug ^-upright. Judgo. fie won? dered that any importance- had been placed on Mrs. Gaines' statements. It was a mistake that she bad any money in her control, and all her story amount? ed to was this: Stone, who had no money, told Mrs. Gaiues, who had no money, that unless tbey put tbeir purses together and gave Judgo Durell the money which neither of them had, Mrs. Gaines would lose her ease. Tbey did not attempt this rather impossible feat. There was no proof that if tbey bad of-1 fered a bribe to Judge Durell, that be would have taken it, and Mrs. Gaines won her case, despite Stone's prognoe-! tioations that bribery was tbe .line qua non of her doing so. Clearly, according to Mrs. Gaines' story, the only guilty person in the matter was Stone, who proposed purchasing justice und sub? orning the judicial ermine. Mrs. Gaines' reasoning, whioh induced her to bring tbe charges she bad made against Judge Durell, was a specimen - of wo? man's logio. Stone told her to bribe Durell. If sho had been in a position to take Stone's advice, which she was not, Durell would have fallen, like another Adam to the temptation of another Eve. The only possible tequitur, of course,' was that Durell was even more guilty of malfeasance in of?oe, from the very fact that he did not take a bribe whioh was never offered him, than he would have been had he accepted one. As to the alleged statements of Mrs. Gaiues, that he (Mr. Cusbing) bad also advised ber to bribe Jadge Durell; tbey were an en? tire fabrication, fie never thought it necessary, nor oontemplated any such j arrangement, and he certainly would never have advised her to put what she did not possess where it would do the most good. When C3ked whether be bad beon or would be summoned as a witness in tbe impeachment of Judgo Durell, Mr. Cnshing expressed great alarm at the prospect of taking tho two days' journey to Washington, but com? forted himself with the assurance that us his testimony would bo iu favor of tbe Judge, tbose who were conducting tbe impeachment would take good care that he was kept out of the way." Tboy, N. Y., March 4 ?The Demo? crats carried the eharter election in this city yesterday, by a majority or 1,500. Chicago, March 4.?The womeu's temperance erusade in this city has been virtually abandoned, even before it had taken any definite f. rm.

Carpenter beat Camoron, who wished to push the cen? tennial bill, and after bearing tbe Loui elana cleotion bill read, Wast asked Senator Carpenter if bo proposed to fol? low up bis speech by a motion to refer. Carpenter replied that be was well awurc of tbe fact tbat tbe Seuntor from Louis? iana wanted to speak, and he wonld not deprive bim of that privilege. The mo? tion of Carpenter to lay aside all pend? ing orders, and take up the Loumuuu bill, was agreed to. Carpenter said he proposed to go directly to business, aud not to waste the time of the Senate in a glowing speech. lie would repeat no? thing he bad said on former occasions, but bo would endeavor to single out matters in oonnoction with tbe Louis? iana oase, upon which both himself and I tho Senator from Indiana hgreed, and would endeavor to show tbat all tbe cir? cumstances requirod tbe passage of tbe bill proposed by bim. He reviewed tbe election returns, and said it was clearly shown that MoEeury bad received 9,960 majority, though bj did not bold the election was a fair oue. As Congress had already authorized ao investigation into Louisiana affairs, it seemed to him as if it had gone so fur in those, tbat it must proceed and settle them. lie re? ferred to tbe argument of tbo Senator from Indiana, (Morton,) as to tbe Su? preme Conrt of tbe State .having de? cided in favor of Kellogg, and said the testimony before tbe Senate oummittee showed such a state of fraud as would set aside the decision of any tribunal. The Senator from tbe Committee on Privileges and Elections, in bis report iu relation to the Presidential electors in Louisiana, had stated that the Lynch board, in making tbo count, and de? claring the election of the Presidential electors, had no legal evidouco upon which it could count the votes. The Senator bad shown that no validity at tached to the action of tho Lynch board in tho count for Presidential electors, and both houses of Congress acted npou tbut report. Tbe Senator (Mortou) now claimed that the Supremo Court of the State had decided tbat the Lynch board was tbe legal board, but he (Carpeuter) called attention to tbo fact that tbat de? cision was made before the report of tbe Seuator from Indiana above referred to. Ho regretted tbo Senator (Mortou) was not iu his seat to-day, and would puss from that brunch of bis urgumeut, omitting many things which he intended to refer to. How would Congress look before the country, after deciding that the cleotion was void as to the Presiden? tial electors, but legal as to tbo State of? ficials? Tbe Senator, (Morton,) having led the Senate through tbe first phase, now seeks to lead it iu a counter move? ment. The Supreme Court of Louisi? ana was part of the Stute Government, aud when Cougress was to inquire whe? ther tho government of that Statu was republican or not, tho Supreme Court could no more settle it than tho Legisla? ture could. Tbat power was vested ex-1 clusively in Congress. Again, tho question was not a judicial one at all, but u political one, und must j be determined by the political depart? ment of tho Government. Thu Su? preme Court of the United States itself could not Bettle it, uud the decisiou of the Supremo Court of Louiituuu was not entitled to a moment's considera? tion. The courts bad never attempted to decide the question directly, but all it did say, in ellcat, was, that the Lynch board wus the legal board, but it never said whether that board acted honestly or corruptly. The Senator from In? diana (Morton) had rested his case upon i two points?tue decision of the Slate Supremo Court and the reooguitiou ol the Kellogg Government by tho Presi? dent of tbe United States. Ou a for? mer occasion he (Carpenter) had sluted that a proper case bad never been made out for the President's uctio.i, und the Senator from Indiana got on bis high horso to illustrate bis fidelity to thu Adraiustration, stating it was entirely unnecessary for him to bolster himself up in executive favor by denouncing somebody else for fulling short. Sup? pose General Grant did miscontrue u statute; did it muke him a worse man? Not at all. He (Carpenter) protested against tho Seuator, (Morton,) declaring ttiat there bad beon an attack upon tbe President, when he (Carpenter) pointed out a misconstruction of a statute, ouch justices ua Munsfied, Siory aud Marshall would sit and listen for days to an argument to show them where they were in error; while a justice of tbe peace would knock you down for suggesting that ho may huve erred. He (Carpentei) denied that ho had made uuy attack on the President. Referring to tbe argument of tbo Senator from New Jersey, (Frolinghuysou,) as to tbe power of the President to act in putting down insurrection, wheu he was satisfied himself that it existed, Carpenter said there was but one man in tbe United States, except Frelingbuysen, who en? tertained such an opinion, und that was Andrew Johnson. He maintained that ho was tbe United States; that he was the power to interpret the Constitution. Frolinghuysou said thu Senator's (Carpenter) information was very limit? ed, not to know thai, the President had suoh power. Carpenter said oue of tho groatc.it pleasures of his life was to add to his store of information, und ho would listen, as a faithful disciplo ut the feet of bis master, wbon the gentleman from New York would undertake to show him that, nndor tbe Constitution, tho Presi? dent, of his own volition, and without proper reoord from tho Stute, could de? cide that an insurrection existed iu tho State, and proceed to put it down. A court of justice could not decide a case between tbe Senator aud himself of $200 without a record. Why? Because it was a court of record, and had a seal; und certainly the United States was a court of reoord. Tho more cry by tele? graph to the President, "come aud help us," was not sufficient for his interfer? ence. He believed tint if tho Federal troops were withdrawn from Louisiana, Kollogg's Government wonld not stand. There were two questions iuvolved as to the passage of this bill?first, have we the power to paes it; second, tho expe? diency of passing it. Tbe Constitution provides that euuh State shall have a republican form of government, and one of tbo first requisites of a republi? can form of government is that its offices shall be tilled by persons elected by tbe people. The power of Coogress was derived from tho Constitution, not from tbe tumults iu Louisiana, or tho frauds of D.urell, or tbe Lynch board; and he asked every Senator within his hearing, if Congress bad uot tbe power to give the people of that State what they had been cheated out of. namely, the right to eleot their own ^officers? ^Should our Government be overthrown, it would be by these steady encroachments. Congress shoo id see at all times tbat each State had a repub? lican form of government; and auy Se? nator declaring tbat Congress had not tbe power to interfere now, would de? clare to Kellogg and his followers, "You can repeat this thing in 187G, iu 1880, or iu 1884; Congress has no power to sot a right." If Congress had no autho? rity to iaterfere, then the MoEuery Go? vernment could set itself up also by I force. Violence was as good n title us fraud, and a little more manly. When a man skulks beneath the soiled robes of a Federal Judge, he has not tho manli? ness of the one who goes out with sword in hand to maintain his position. There was no question, in his mind, as to tbe power of Congress to tuko up the Con? stitution of auy State and declare whe? ther or not it was republican in form. Tbe power of Congress was supreme. Ferry, of Connecticut, said be muit differ from tho geutleman as to tbe power of Cougress. Carpenter said ho was sorry tbo Sena? tor would stand in bis place, und virtu? ally say, if Kellogg and bis friends joined bands and defied tbe people of tbe State for fifty years, Cougress could uot interfere. Did bo mean to say, if a baud of ruffians should seize the State, tbat Congress could not then interfere? Ferry suid be meant to say, tbat under our system of government, tbero is within tbe State a remedy for usurpa? tion of the government, or else a repub? lican form of government is a total failure. Curpeuter said, suppose tbe people of Couucoticut should declare they would have u monarchy; that tbey were sick and tiled of a republican government, aud that their Governor and Legislature should remain -in office for life, would Congress then havo power to interfere? Ferry said there wus a remedy for thai. Where the whole people of u State professed a monarchical government, it i was an entirely different thing, lie heartily concurred with tbe Senator from Wisconsin, (Carpeuter,) that the State Uoverumeut aud its laws, root uud branch, were a usurpation, but could not ugrto with him us to tbe remedies. Carpenter said, iu a debate of this kind, he was in the position of lighting iu tbo open field against an umbuscude. The gentleman had his views, but would uot lot tbem out. If bo has a plan, why uot let it bo known? lie (Carpenter) was like McClolIau in oue tbiug?not wedded to any particular plan. If tbe Seuutor bad a plau, aud it was better than the one bo (Carpenter) proposed, be was ready to support it, as soou as the Senator would remove tho seal of confidence from it. The Senator (Ferry) concurred with him, tbat tbo preseut Government of Louisiana wus no go? vern ixibul at. ad. but was USUrticd bv Kellogg. He (Carpenter) believed the Kellogg Government was held up by tho bayonets of the United States, and was sustained ut this hour by the troops of tbo Uuited States, aud bo wanted to ebow what remedy there was for tho dif? ficulty. Tho Supreme Court of tbe State was in conspiracy with Kellogg, aud would not inaugurate any move for reform. The State Legislature wus iu tbe conspiracy, aud it would not do si. Tbe Governor would not; and the peo? ple could not, because tbe Federal bayo? nets were leveled at tbem. Tho powers of tbo Federal Government were as so? vereign, except as limited by tbo Con? stitution, as those of tbe Czar of Russia. Congress could declare war to-morrow j against uuy nation, with or without cause. It could tax the last dollar from tbe pockets of tho people, or establish female suffrage, aud put the womou iu tbe army. The grout argument made in tbe press particularly, was tbe inexpe? diency of ordering u now election, on tbe ground tbat it would bo u dangerous precedent; but tbat was not sound logic. Calomel wus a dangerous medicine, und as well might it bo said that because doctors gave it to grown men, they might give it to infants. Look at tbo probable effect of Congress Baying it could do nothing; look at tho present oondition of thoBO Southeru States, having just emerged from a oivil wur; would it be safo to say to them, "When you bold your elections next fall, gel in by fraud or any way; tbero is no power to put you oat?" What greater license could be given to tbe lawlessness of tbe laud? That element would say, "If that is your game, we will play it;" aud they would play it undor tbesunctiou of C >'. gress. Such aolion, in tho present con? dition of some of tbu Southern States, would bo the most dangerous tbiug tbat could bo said. Senutor Morton bud said puss this bill, and there would bo bloodshed in Louisiana. Ho said tbo Republicans were all in favor of Kellogg, aud tbo respectable. Democrats were all iu favor of him. If they are, who is to came tbe bloodshed? Ho could be elected fairly, uud Congress would sustain him iu his high office. The speech of tbo Senator about blood? shed exceeded any thing be hud beard siuco be had loft tho nursery. It re? minded him of the old song: "Fee, li, j fo, fttml I smell tbo blood of uu Eng? lishman!'' lilood, blood, blood, blood! j Did tbo Senator expec*. to iuflceuos the Sonate by any such argument? There would bo no bloodshed by a new elec? tion. The Government could euforco it by tbe army aud navy, if necessary. Ifj not, this nutiou had butter furl its ban-; ner, aud put its sffjirs in the hands of a receiver. I Carpenter then rend from a speech made by Kellogg in ibe Senate in 1868, iu which ho saiil all tbe people of the Stato wanted was a fair election; and,' whenever uny thief wa9 in office, under tbe guise of being a Republican, be should be put out. Tbe people wanted a fuir election, even if it be by Federal! interferenco. In concluding his argument, Carpen? ter said Congress was iu a predicament' where it could not stop. Louisiana had' but one Senator here, aud the Oonstitu-j tion says she must havo two. Tbe Se-j nator from New Jersey (Frelicghuysen) bad said be would not Tote to seat Finchback, and by that ho" declared there was no Republican Governmentin| Louisiana. By seating Pinobback, tbe Senate would have recognized Kellogg. By seating McMillan, it would have re? cognized McEnery. Bat by refusing to seateitber.it declared there had been, no election thore. Was it wise to ad-| jonru this troublesome question into, the troublesof the Presidential election?, It was not probable that there would be' tho same unanimity then that there wasi hist time, for as he saanned the politi-j oal horizon, he thought he could see more than one candidate; and it was not probable that the vote of Louisiana! might change the whole thing. The question should be settled now, und put out of tbe way, as it was neither wise nor prudent to adjourn it. He had no personal feeling in the matter, his re? lation with Kellogg having been of tbe most friendly character; but he wanted the Congress of the United States to do its duty, and order an honest election, so tbut the people could have their choice. Freliugbuyscu said he desired to speak on tho subject, but yielded to Cameron, who moved that the Senate prooecd with the consideration of the centennial bill. Thnrman said he also desired to speak on Louisiana affairs, aud hoped the cen? tennial would go over till to-norrow. Conkliug said Senator Cameron was anxious to get nway, und it was due him to take up and dispose of tho centennial bill, to-day, if possible. Cameron's mo? tion to take up the eeuteuui.il wus agreed to. A motion was made to refer it to the Committee on Appropriations. Thurmuu spoke against referring the bill, and said if it went to tbut commit? tee, the understanding would be tbat there should be an appropriation for tbe celebratiou, and this be opposed, on the ground that Congress bud no power, under the Con.-t is alien, to vote money for such purposes.
