Political Movements In New Or
leans.

We noticed a week or two since
the political movements in the city
of New Orleans, and indicated very
clearly our unwillingness to form an
alliance with any of them. We find
the same sentiment all through the
country everywhere. The people
have no desire to follow the lead Of
demagogues either in New Orleans
or elsewhere, their only wish is to so
conduct themselves as to bring back
the State into the Union as soon as
possible. They greatly approve the
course of Gov. Wells, and will give
him a hearty support for Governor at
the next election,-further than this
they are not willing to go-they have
enough on hand to mind their private
afiaiIs. The following from the Fee
hciana Democrat is to the point
In our last number, we alluded to
the political organizations of the
city of New Orleans, which are at
tempting to extend their ramitica-
tons into the country parishes. As
we then said, our people are averse
10 anlte with any of those organiza-
ions, and are determined. SO far as
We can ascertain, to support only
those men, whose policy will the
soonest bring back the State to its
Legitimate jurisdiction over all mat
ters within its limits, and thereby re-
move the necessity Of a military sur
veilIance. In that sense, and with
that view, they are willing and con
tent to support and approve the pol
icy that now actuates Gov. Wells,
as well AS that expressed by Andrew
johnson. in his administrative capa-
city as President, towards the south
EN- States. Under them, we hope,
at an earl Y day, once more to enjoy
All the rights and privileges guaran-
t--d to US by the laws and the Con
,ti;ution of the United States This
policy they are willing to support
and maintain, and the men who adj
vocate it. They require no "bun-
KUN appeals to show them the prop-
or line of interest and duty.
Trag7c Inciaeur.-The Secretary
of the Cairo Chamber OF Commerce

writes to the Times the following
h. art stirring scene
While standing upon the platform
at Mitchell. waiting for the baggage
for Louisville to be transferred to the
New Albany train, l witnessed a
scene such as hope never to wit

service, accompanied by three ladies,
emerged from the cars. The soldiers
were drunk-beastly druuk-and the

TO restrain them from leaving the
train. As they reached the platform
one of the women, and As beautiful
"A one as my eyes ever beheld, threw
crs,.lt on her knees before the bru-
talized husband, seized him with her
arms and with tears and prayers i'm
pior.d him To return, the other ladies
officiating similarly though
not so vehemently to accomplish
the same purpose with the others.
But the brute first mentioned only
ans wer.d his wfc's impor'unisies
with a ribald laugh, and tearing him
self away left her heart broken and
swooning upon the platform, not
drignins even a look or word, his

saloon near by. Two or three of It's

hearted lady passengers she soon re-
her consciousness only to
burst into a Hood Of grief and tears at
the heart wound she had received
Then the engine bell rang and away
whirled the cars, carrying the weep

toward their homes. All felt the
deepest commiscratiou tor the poor
