This fearless and eloquent champion Of democratic prn-

tine CONSISTENCY OF KNOW NorHINGIsM


We have met with more than one know-nothng who
persistently denied the well-known fact that Derbigny
the know-uothng candidate for in Louisiana is
Roman Catholic; and yet this denial is made in face Of
the ninth article of the Louisiana PLATFORM which is as
follows:
While approve the platform adopted by the late
tiona council Of the American party al Philadelphia,
Jet application Of the principles Of the eighth article 10
American Catholics unjust unounded and entirely UNI
worthy Of our country"
That is the platform of the Louisiana knownothings,
and their candidate is Catholicl
Mr. orenden Of Kentucky, also repudiaes the Catho-
lie plank in the platform In speech which he lately
made al Frankfort as reported in the Commonwealth, he
saidc
Upon the Catholic question Mr. Crittenden declared that
he utterly hostile to imposing any penalties proscrp
tion disability upon any account of bis religion
He had further the fullest confidence in native Catho
lies Ho knew native Catholics in Kentucky in whom
citizens patriots soldiers he had full confidence
any other Of any faith whatever and for whom he
would If they before him candidates lie felt
they acknowledged allegiance the Pope that
superior their allegiance their country equal
He would Kentucky blood and Kentucky principles
against all the seductions of any foreign power"
And thus know-nothingism breaks in pieces The
slavery plank is repudated by the whole of the North,
and the Catholic plank in Louisiana and Kentucky

Your columns Monday contained paragraph from

Alpine guides of Chamounx lost twenty years since had
recently been discovered in the brokenup ice which forms
the arch OF Arveron still buried in lis frozen tomb This
have been great event for the Chamounans and

of Mount Blanc When he disappeared in 1895 be 70
years old. He went out with hunter OF Valorsine to
chase the chamos; parted from him the Pic du Midi
having proposed ascent which the other deemed dan

who believed that it would be possible to become rich by
such discovery. lie always preferred TO follow this
phantasy rather than guide and he paid for the

a gentleman arrived at the American
Hotel, in this place, about two weeks
since, from the Virginia Springs, and reg
istered his name S. j. Stowe, or StoweT'.
He was then suffering from chronic dy.en-
terry. He applied for medical aid, which
was rendered him by Dr.. T. A. BerkeIy.
He had been here but shor. time, when
he partook Of green corn. and watermelon
very heartily, which of course facilitated
his disease, and frustrated the efforts of his
physician to save hi; life. He was taken
to hls bed, and after lingering several days,
died on Friday the Oath ult. Every kind
pess and attention that could possibly ease
his passage to the tomb, was at his COM
mand, and although dying among stran-
gers, with no familiar voice in hearing, his
spirit passed calmly and sweetly hom the
clay tenement it inhabited, to the God
who gave it.
Upon examining his books aud papers
it was found that he was a minister of the
Gssrel-probably ofthe Episcopal Church
as prayer book and bible were found in
his possession. He registered his name
from New York city. There was one
letter from his niece, who resides in Ber-
mlda. He seemed to be about 55 years
OF age, and apparently gentleman Of eda-
cation and wealth. lie had two very fine
gold watches, several gold chains, any
quantity Of the costliest clothing. He was
buried in the cemetery on Saturday last.
| The funeral services were performed by
the Rev. T. L. Casteman, Of the Ep,co-
pal Church.
