cause, and sentence him and his family to per-
petual exile. 1t was the Corps LsgisiatT and
the Senat, appointed and so well paid by Ma.
poleon, who first decreed his decheancs, recalled
the Bourbons, and accepted the charter of Louis
XVIII; and all the public officers Immediately
gave their adhesion to that revolution. In order
to be maintained In their Offices. In 1880, these
same deputies, called by Charles X and who,
very few months before, had sworn allegiance
to him and his family, expelled him and his ia
mily; and, after giving his crown TO the Duke of
Orleans, resumed their habitual course of sub
serviency and raplne. In every part of France,
every one submitted to the orders received from
Paris; and very few of the functionaries re-
signed the offices to which they had been sp-
pointed by the preceding government.
Such Is the explanation, by facts, of the APP
parent inconsistency between the dependency of
placemen, electors, and deputies, and their In
subOrdlnatlon. OF course, every one of the fac
tons must disslmulate its object, and they all
sail, like pirates or slavers under false coors
/" The honor and independently of the country
Is the motto OF Theirs; Public order and
peace" that OF Gulzot; and the other factions
adopt the one or the ORDER with some modfica-
tons; SO that they may, according to their in
terests, act III concert with or in opposition to
one another.
Such is the chamber of deputies Such is the
representative system In France Such is the
participation of the people in the management Of
their affairs The municipal councils, the coun-
ellis OF arrondlssements, the councils OF depart
ments, are entirely under the power of the ad-
mlnistration; and tyranny, legal and unbounded
tyranny, is the character of the government of
the country
That discomfort, general discomfort, universal
hatred OF the government, should be the result,
may easily be conceived; and nobody can be as
tonished, not merely at the expression of that
discomfort and hatred, but also at the attempts at
resistance by main force, on the part of people
who, have no other means of resenting the
wrongs inflicted upon them by the Legislature
and the agents OF the administration.

moment when the people sit and ought to sit,
in judgment upon their public officers, their

| UNFoRTUNATE AND DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.
On Friday last at noon, convict made his
escap pc from the Jacksonville Penitentiary.-
The keeper of the prison Immediately offered
a reward for his apprehension and printed set
of bills TO that effect. On Saturday evening,
several persons from Jacksonville arrived at
this place in pursuit Of the prisoner, and hav-
ing given notice of their business. two young
men, (Messrs. Wilson and Cook,) of Salem,
started in pursuit of the convict after night,
and having pursued him about twelve miles
on the road leading from this place TO Browns
town, they halted where WAGNER had en-
camped and determined TO watch the road for
the approach of the convict, believing that he
was behind them.
After remaining al the fire until nearly day
light, young Wilson separated from Cook, his
comrade, and proceeded TO house not far of
fer some purpose, and upon his return met the
convict and by stratagem induced him TO 60 10
the fire with him. When they arrived at the
fire, Wilson spoke to Cook and said ''here is
our prisoner let us take him." At this the
convict broke into the woods. Wilson fired a
pistol at him but missing his aim, pursued and
soon came up TO him and seized hold of him.
A scuffle Immediately ensued and Mr.. Wilson
succeeded in putting the prisoner 10 the ground.
In the meantime Cook had followed on and
upon his coming up Wilson cried out in s;i-
fed tone. Help Cook! help! At this Cook
advanced, seized hold of Wilson (who was on
top of the cenvict) pulled him back drew a
large Bowie knife, with which he was armed,
and struck mortal blow in the left side, mis-
taking him in the dark of the woods for the
convict, whom he supposed was killing his
comrade, Wilson. After young Wilson receiv-
ed the cut, ne arose, advanced few steps and
FELL telling Cook to secure the prisoner, which
he did. BY this time the men who had pur-
sued the prisoner from Jacksonville, came up
having heard the report of Wilson's pistol at
the onse) and took him into custody, and on
Sunday conveyed him back to the States pris-
on. We learn that the prisoner was sent from
Allen county, Ia, and that his name is Shick.
Medical aid was procured for MIR. Wilson, as
soon as possible, and upon examination the
wound was pronounced mortal. the knife hav-
ing penetrated almost or quite through his body
He fingered until about o'clock on Sunday
evening and expired at house near where the
fatal occurrence took place. On Sunday night
his remains were brought 10 this town by his
deeply distressed parents and sisters who had
gone 10 the fatal spot 10 witness his untimely
end.
We are happy to say. that no censure what
ever, is attached TO MIR. Cook, either by the de-
ceased or his friends. Mr.. C.. was told BY the
pursuers Of the convict, thatit was thought he
had large bowie hnife in his possession, and
on coming up and hearing Wilson cry help, he
very naturally supposed that the prisoner had
him down and was using il upon him. The
occurrence has cast deep gloom over over
our whole community.-Salem (La.) Neus.

labor in our large cities, the New York Express,

others of that class, made in Liverpool and Lon

OHIo AND MISSISSIPPI RAIL RoAD..-By re-
ference TO our columns of last week. our read
ers will find a copy OF the proceedings OF a
meeting recently held at Evansville in this
State, tor the object Of adopting measures 10
secure an amendment 10 the charter OF this
great work, SD as 10 make Evansville point
instead of Vincennes. This is a work in which
the people OF Indiana should feel deep inter-
est, and should also exhibit corresponding
zeal, by subscribing liberally of their means IN
stock. As The charter now stands lawrence
burg and NIncennes are the only points IN this
State between Cincinnati aud 81. Louis. A
direct line drawn from one OF those points to
the other, would cross about three or four miles
south OF Bedford in Lawrence county; and a
direct line drawn from Law renceburs to Ev
ansville, would cross through the southern por-
ton of our own county. From the situaiio n
of the country where the direct line passes on
lellher route, however we think likely the road
would have TO diverge considerably from di-
rect line TO obtain suitable ground. We, in
common with our citizens, feel anxious about
this important enterprise, and IT our county
can present as important Inducements as other
portions of the State, we think BY active and
energetic operations we may ultimately secure
the advantages of the road. We need scarcely
say word 10 our citizens oil the advantages oil
such work, we deem it at least, about equal
to the Ohio river for all our purposes. If we
were 10 say nothing Of the agricultural pro-
ducts of the country TO be transported 20 mar
ket, the surplus lime and limestone of our coun-
ty would be source of immense wealth TO The
people of this region of country. as would be
able to supply almost any demand. Ii is also
| i'm contemplation by the New Albany and Sa-
lem Company TO extend their road from Salem,
and we may and ought TO have an eye 10 this
work also. We have no room or time this
week to present the subject in the form which
it should be presented. Ii is proposed, as will
be seen by reference TO a notice in this day s
pa per, TO hold convention Of the people for
The purpose of interchanging opinions and SEN
timents on the subject, at this place on the
lth day of next month. At which time it is
expected that persons who are versed in the
subject, will be present to present TO the PEG
pie in proper light the whole subject.
