HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LONDON, Feb. 2O-Nigh!
The speaker took the chair at quarter to A
o'clock
tee on the local militia act be received, Lord
John Russell recapitulated the leading provisions
of the proposed measure, the principal point be
ing that it was now<infended to permit substi-
tutes to be found under certain restrictions: all
parties in the house appeared to be convinced
of the necessities which existed for some such
measure, and all he now asked was that they
would allow him to introduce his bill, in order
that its details might be fairly and fully con.
sidered.
Lord Palmerston said it was exceedingly ne
cessary that whatever measure was introduced
should be based upon a right principle, and the
amendments which he intended to move upon
the ministerial bill would make it less oljec.
tionablc in this respect. The chief amendment
he proposed to move was intended TO make the
title of the bill harmonise with its provisions
According to the title, the bill was intended to
provide for the levying of local militia, but the
body which was to be raised according to its
provisions would not be local, but general; it
would not be confined TO England, nor to Ire
land, or Scotland merely, but was to be sent to
any part of the United Kingdom where it might
be required in this respect he quite agreed with
the government measure, but he considered it TO
be improperly framed. He thought, however,
that the bill did not 90 far enough he thought

The Democratic Journals are lavish in
their abuse Of Gen. Scott for participating in
the celebration of the battle of Lundy's Lane
at Niagara Falls, ON the 29th ult. 1t is well
known to most of these Journals that Gen
Scott did not attend the celebration, but on
the contrary, refused many pressing invita-
tions to be present on the occasion. Their
abuse Of the old Hero, in this instance, as
in the thousand and one other malicious and
slanderous fabrications which the Loco press
have charged upon him is without any cause
or foundation whatever.

CONVERSION TO PRoTESTANTIsM Il

CONVERSION TO PRoTEsTANT1sM IN
GERMANY.-According to official reports,
$40 persons renounced Catholicism and en-
braced Professionalism in Silesia last year =
OF these 64S persons 269 were adults and
the remainder had already been confirmed
Independent of these, 466 Roman Catholic
parents had their children baptized in the
Protestant Church in the year 1851. These
figures are higher, in comparison, than in
the previous year, 1885, for in the official
list for that year only 308 converts were
entered, of whom $50 were adults. In that
year, also, only 1S7 children of Roman
Catholic parents were baptized in the Pro
testant Church in Silesia. 1t appears that
many persons who had joined the so-called
German Catholic Churches are now going
over to the Protestant Churches, on account
OF the obstacles which have been put in the
way of the German Catholics.

family of his brother, some II or ID miles
NE of this place, and had been sent to a
corn field some distance from the house, for

pccted, the family became uneasy about him.
when the husband and wife mounted their
horses, near The close of, the day, and went
in the direction he had gone, to look for him.
Arriving at the field, they found a portion
of the corn considerably trampled down,
and, while examining il, an enormous he

thicl;et, and made directly toward them,
which frightened the horse the woman was
riding and threw her OIL Her husband
succeeded in getting her up on the horse he
was riding, when they escaped from the tu-

call for Railroad Meeting at this place, on

New Orleans, OpelOusas and ST
Louis Rail Road.

We clip from the Shreveport Gazette, ,"
the following extract Of a letter addressed to
the editors, by Col Buckner H. Payne, the
indefatigable agent of the New Orleans,
Opelousas and Great Western Railroad
From this letter it appears that the company
are already organizing their surveying par
ties, and that they expect to have the road
to Texas, ready for the contractors by the
coming winter Their proposed branch to
Little Rock and St. Louis will, it is supposed,
pass within sixty miles Of this place, and
through ur near Camden-intersecting the
Central road from sixty to seventy miles
south of Little Rock. Col. Payne, says:
Our proposed branch to Little Rock on
the way to St, Louis, will pass little east
of your city, but convenient for you to inter-
sect with it, and as the main trunk will pass
SO near to you on the west that short line
will connect you there, and thus Shreveport
at but little expense can be placed IN connec-
ton with New Orleans, St. Louis, and the
main trunk leading to the Pacific. This
cannot but be highly advantageous to your
citizens, and the Board confidently hope that
it will receive the united aid Of all your cit
liens.
A convention is to be held at Natchitoches
on the ID Monday of Aug, at which we hope
to sec your city represented, that our views
may be freely interchanged for the common
good. Very respectfully,
B. Ii. PAYNE.

The JEWS OF PHAGUE-Mr Weed, of
the Albany Evening journal, in letter
from Prague, the Bohemian capital, says
''There is, as is usual in European cities, a
Jews Quarter but they are not, as former
ly, shut up after a given hour in the eve
ming. 1t is said that this colony of Jews
established themselves here Immediately af-
ter the destruction Of Jerusalem. They
preserve all their customs and peculiarlties,
and are Jews according to the manner Of
the strictest Of their sect They wear long
flowing gowns and hats without rims They
have five synagogues, several schools, magis-
trates, and a town hall Of their own =
Though living in the midst of others, they
are wholly and entirely distinct people

The Difference.

We used to think Missouri Democracy
the worst of its species, but we give up to
the Illinois, and particularly the Chicago
democracy. Upon the receipt of the news
of SCOTS defeat, at Chicago, the Democra-
cy had revel and actually burnt the grey,
old, and Scared soldier m eEgy! In con-
trast, see how the Jefferson Inquirer, the
organ Of Missouri democracy speaks of the
result.
"We do not rejoice, however, upon the
result of the election of Pierce, like some
of our cotemporaries, because we looked
upon him as truer patriot than Scott, but
because the former was Democrat and
the latter Wing, and our prediction al
ways led us to support democratic men,and
the policy of the democratic party. We
feel mortified to open some OF our exchanges
and find the news of the election headed,
sour country saved" and many other ri
diculous declarations, which, 10 our mind,
are ill-timed in any journal protesting to be-
long to the victorious party. We never
could be induced TO support Gen. Scott for
the Presidency; he is not the man Tor the
place, according to our political notions, yet
we feel proud OF him as our military chief
tain. He is a patriot, and if Pierce is a
young Hickory; as we believe he will prove
to be, he may find Gen. Scott as serviceable
as did Old Hickory"

EFFECT OF THE DEFEAT OF THE Wires.
On Tuesday night of the Election, an
Earthquake, it appears, was noticed in Bal
timore and Richmond in mpathy-was it
not?-with the great mistake that day COM
mitted by deluded nation. There was q
similar catastrophy, according to Milton, on
the trangression of our first parents. AT
the moment when that occurred, as he re-
lates,
"Earth felt the wound, and nature from her seat,
Signing through all her works, gave signs of woe,
That all was lost.'
Nature has been weeping ever since the
election, and so copiou and continued have
been her showers of tears, that old mother
earth has decided inclination to "suck in"
every body and thing that places foot upon
her.

Observation-Disclosures --Fiibusteros-
Flybusters.


Col. Benton's organ, in an article upon
the Cuba question, gives the following def
milton Of that class Of our citizens who feel
that we "want Cuba" and are able to "take
it,"
Above century ago there was class of
gentry rowing the seas, and helping them
selves to what they wanted, and were able
to take, from nations or individuals, whom
the English called FreeboOterS, and the French
called Flibustiers, and the Spaniards
called Flibusteroa, and which we (the
Americans) call Flybusters: and whose
natural and international code was compris-
ed in the answers 10 two brief questions.
First, whether any man, or nation, has any,
thing that we want? and secondly; are we
able 10 take it? and these two questions
being affirmatively answered. "TAKE 1T!"-
was the word! But as all nations agreed 10
hang such gentry wherever they could find
them, the race being extinct, and the name
obsolete, until modern operators in Cuban
annexation and Cuban bonds, have revived
the name, and are getting it stuck upon a
part of the people of the United States: Fly
buster is now becoming a political designa-
ton in our country, and is nothing but the
Freebooter of the old English, done into FIJI
BUSTER by the French, into Flibustero BY
the Spanish; and done back into English
in the significant and kindred appellation of
FLYBUsTEE.-- Mo. Democrat.
