mature deliberation and thorough examination, and
is identical in its provisions with the Ohio law which
it suits the Argus and its echoes to condemn as
tyrannical

LOSS OF THE SHIP POLAND.

| We have received this morning, by the arri-
val Of the ship Clifton, the painful intelligence
that the fine packet ship Poland from this port
for Havre, was struck by lightning on the
10Th instant, by which accident the cargo be-
came ignted, and the vessel was entirely de-
stroyed by fire.
The ship was struck BY lightning on Saturday,
the 10th instant, in lat. Abs, long $3.50, at 3
p. M. during severe shower of rain, wind
about southwest. The lightning struck the fore
top gallant yard on the larbourd side, and ran
down the ties to the foreyard, thence along the
forward to the head of the foremost, where it
knocked off piece of the fid Of the topmast. II
then ran down the mast into the lower hold.
where it is supposed II set fire TO the cotton
which was slowed near the mast.
After an Intellectual attempt TO get at the fire
10 extinpuish it, the men being driven from their
work by the smoke, the matches were closed
about O'Clock and the boats were cleared and
got out, and about 10 p. NJ. the females and
children, with as many men as was thought pro-
per. were put in the long boat and moored
astern, where they remained all that night and
the next day and night until Monday morning.

GENERAL HARRISON AND HIS RE
VILERS.

1t is unfortunate for those Federal Loco Fo-
cos who are so industriously laboring to depreci-
ate the Peoples candidate for the Presidency,
that many Of their most active and INSCRIPTIONS
allies, have left on record the testimony of their
highest respect for him as a Statesman, Patriot,
and Soldier-given, too, when they had no mo-
tive to conceal the truth. Mr. Wick, repre-
sentative from Indiana, has been recently affect
ing to sneer at the civil and military qualifca-
tons of GENERAL HARRIsoN. His constituents
have refreshed his memory respecting his for
mer sentiments, by repubishing the following
letter, signed by this same honorable Mr.. Wick:
"INphHAPoLIs, January Is, 1893

THE EXECUTIVES SCHEME FOR
STANDING ARMY.

The decisive condemnation which the Exc
cutives scheme for raising a standing army Of
two hundred thousand men has met with in
every part Of the country, and especially from
the true-hearted Republicans of Virginia, has
made our veteran contemporary of the Rich
mond Enquirer cut q number Of extraordinary
antics. He has made lively figure in various
attempts to divert the public mind from the
monstrous scheme. He has tried to ridicule the
just censure which distinguished men Of the
opposition pronounced upon il. Finding all these
efforts unsuccessful, he has at last mustered up
the brazen assurance to declare that Mr.. VAN
buren, is in no degree responsible for the plan
and this in the face Of Mr.. VAN BUREN's own
endorsement and recommendation Of il in q
message to Congress
Now, we ask the editor of the Enquirer whe-
Their he did not send a letter to this city de-
claring, in substance, that Mr.. VAN buren,
must relieve himself from responsibility for this
scheme or the consequences would be danger
Gus TO the party. We understand that such a
letter was received here from Richmond II
was followed by editorial appeals in the Enquirer
to the magnanimity Of Mr.. Poinsett, begging
him as plainly as words could express, to hold
himself responsible for the measure Then the
Enquirer became more bold, and ventured its
belief that the Secretary Of War aoas alone re-
sponsible. In his last paper the editor goes a
step farther; and parades extracts from letters
purporting to be from Washington, and design
ed TO prove that the Secretary, good easy man,
takes all the blame to himself Mr.. Richie
exults in the declaration, that the world will
soon have something more than our own decla-
rations for H."
$3.50 We are to infer from this, then,
that the applications from Richmond to the
President to disentanglc himself from the
Standing Army scheme--and the appeals to the
magnanimity" Of Mr.. Poinsett spand tine dex-
terously applied batteries of that officer have
been successful-and that the Secretary OF
War has agreed to make himself scape goat
for the President. This trick will not succeed.
The Presidents official endorsement and re-
commentator Of the scheme is before the peo-
pie; and he will be held to the bond

A TRAGEBy-The New York Courier pub
fishes the substance of a letter received from
Montgomery, Alabama, which states that Mons.
Adrien, jr., who has been practising tricks OF e-
gerdemain in most of the principal cities, was
recently shot, at Montgomery, by DR.. Mcleod,
the husband of lady who seemed TO prefer
Mons. Adrien's society to that Of her husband.
The lady eloped, but was subquenty found on
board steamboat, and taken home. Adrien
was pursued by the husband, the father of the
LADY and her uncle, and the husband shot him
as he was attempting to cross ferry about
twelve miles from Montgomery. The letter
adds that general commisseratlon was felt by the
people at large for the fate of Adren, from a
conviction that he was innocent, but that the
character of the parties implicated would pre-
veni any serious inquiry into the subject
