SHOCKING OccURRENcE-Henry Clark was
accused by Mr. Wilson, in the parish of Plaque
mine, about two months ago, of having set fire to
she house of the said Wilson. The affidavit of
Wilson was taken before Judge Octave Rousseau,
Of that parish, and warrant was issued for the
arrest of the accused, which warrant was placed
in the hands of John Marshall, of the parish,
with orders from the Sheriff to be executed with
all promptness. Mr.. Marshall, about nine days
ago, supplied himself with large boat, taking In
company with him four men. Marshall landed at
the Chandelier Islands, and leaving one of his men
in the boat to take care of ii, he went, with three
of his companions to Clark's house. He there told
Clark that he was his prisoner, when Clark threw
a spade at him, and ran into the house, and there
got his gun. He then stated that if any one dared
syenure into his premises he would most certainly

Shin Canal Across Florida.

Some weeks since we wrote an article relative to
a Ship Canal across Florida, in which we set forth
some of the various advantages which would result
from such work if accomplished; the article was
extensively copied and has given rise to various
others upon the same subject. Among other papers
our neighbor of the Mercury took up the matter on
Monday, and gave, as is usual with that journal,
some new and very original ideas upon the matter.
We are sorry to say that all fancies, and doubt
less those of our neighbors also, have been most
cruelty blasted by the actual surveys which have
been made Of all the projected routes. Gen. Ber
nard and Major Poussn, then in the service of the
United States, undertook the survey in 1926, and
made their detailed report in 1922 from which they
conclude that there being no port on the coast Of
Florida on the side of the Gulf of Mexico, into
which vessels drawing more than eight feet of
water can enter, and the ridge of Florida having
an average height of one hundred and twenty feet,
and there being no means of supplying water at the
summit level, Ship Canal across FLORIDA IS m
practicable. We do not like to throw cold waller
over any pet project of any person, but having III
this matter been thoroughly wet ourselves we 90

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE IA, 1s4s
The Wing Nominations.

The result of the deliberations of the Wing Con-

made known to us On Monday by the Picayune, s
express Through the same medium, we were yes
terdav informed of the action Of the Convention on
the Vice Presidency. On the 10th inst, on the
second ballot, WILLARD FILLMORE, of New York,
was nominated for that high office. TAYLOR and
FILLMORE are, therefore, the Wing nominees, and
a strong ticket they make. We are Of opinion that
Mr.. Fillmore's name will add much strength to the
ticket in New York, and improve still more the
very fair prospects the Wings now have OF carrying
that State. Although not standing in the very first
rank, Mr.. Fillmore has always occupied very
prominent position in his party, and has possessed
much of its confidence. During the time that ne
was member of the House of Representatives, he
was considered one of the most valuable, lndusfrl'
Gus and ndefatigable of its members-n all things
faithfully representing his party. In 1874 he was
the Wing candidate for Governor of New Y orh, In
opposition to Silas Wright; and considering the
extraordinary popularity of the latter gentleman
made very creditable run. Altogether, this ticket
is about as strong one as the Wings could nave
