STEAM ENGINE ON SPREE.-Ye yesterday
morning, between and 10 o'clock, the re-
gula tor connected with the engine in the
saving and turning establishment of A. c..
Green, No 13 Church street, became dis
connected and bercit of its restraining power,
the engine entered upon q series Of antics
of a most extraordinary character, its speed
rapidly increasing until it had reached tn,
fearful rate of from 800 to 1000 revolutions
minute. laS .
The engine, an iron structure, weight .
ton, commenced dancing honpipe about
the floor; while the shaftings in various par,
of the building danced an accompaniment
being driven by mere centrifugal force froiN
its fastenings, bent up as one would benz
a small wire, and hurled about the establish
ment and upon the floor, The shafting i
the room above was also hurled from /.
place and a pully burst, while the buildin.
swayed to and fro as if rocked an earth,
quake. 49,
The made pranks ofthe engine were final,s
brought to u close by the steam supply pip
becoming disconnected and thus as it were,
cutting of its breath, else it is difficult ia
conjecture what might have been the resulc
Proyidentially there was no one in thhe roos
at the time of the accident, or we might ha,.
had, in addition, a loss of life to chronicle.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, March %, 1885.
Editors ofthe Standard Ten long years
have passed, bringing with the time many
changes since the writer last btheld good and
true and beautiful old North Carolina. Dn-
ring the time his feet have pressed the soil
of two continents and he has three tines
visited this far off region of our own, with
additional interest. Still, he can truly say,
that no where has he beheld a brighter. a
greener more lovely land than be left in
1856, when he departed from yonr State
to New York City to mingle in its excite
ments, its pleasures and pains.
Political life, social intercourse, with some
of the usual dissipation OF large towns his
not taken from memory the sincere fricn1-
ship cvinced in acts by many OF. your people,
and assuredly would meet with very many
friends. and trust, ne enemies in the old
North State, and much have desired to see
again its hills, valleys and plains.
Numbers of times have travelled along its
various roads, and very few of its interesting
localities from Wilmington to the Pilot
Mountain, from Bdncombe to Currituck have
escaped my attention Many regrets have |
that shall never again see the land. Varied
interests and pursuits on these far off shores
of the Pacific will preclude nv ever leaving g
them even to pass an hour with William W.
Holden or a month with John A. MeA1annen.

THE PREsIDENT AND CABINET ON RE-
,coNsTnucr1os a teIegraphic dispatch in.
the papers from Washington contains the.
following statement: s &
6 It is understood that, at the meeting of
the Cabinet to o-day, the President invited an
expression of opinion from the heads of the
departments respecting the recent report of
{ the Reconstruction Committee, and it is re-.
ported that, in an animated discussion which
lensued thereupon, Secretaries Seward, Nc
Culloch, Welles, and Stanton were decided
in their opposition to the plan of the Com
mittcc. and earnest in their support of the
Presidents policy for restoration. Tue Post
master General was in favor of carrying out
the Presidents policy, but expressed some
doubts as to the precise time at which loyal
representatives from Southern States should
be admitted. The Attorney General was
not present.
The President was emphatic in his opposi-
ton to the Committees report and declared
himself against all conditions precedent to
the admission of loyal Representatives from
the Southern States, in the shape of amend
ments to the Constitution and the passage OF
laws He insisted that under the Constitu-
tion no State could be deprived of its equal
suffrage in the Senate, and that Senators and
Representatives ought at once to be admit.
ted into their respective houses, as prescribed
by law and the Constitution. He was for a
strict adherence to the Constitution as it is,
and remarked that having sustained Cur
selves under it during terrible rebellion, he
thought the government could be restored
without resort to amendments, and remarked
in general terms that if the organic law is to
be changed at all, it should be at time
when all the States and all the people can
participate in the alteration" y.

The colored children of this City at
tached to the various schools, had eel
ebration on the lst of May, which was
well conducted, and seemed to afford
much pleasure to those who participa-
ted in it. From the appearance of the
procession there seemed to be 800 to
1000 of all ages out on the occasion.
Nothing occurred to produce ill feeling
between the two races. We trust that
good feeling may continue to exist be-
tween the whites and blacks.

States actually seeded, or that they
made good theirrevolt. In this respect
at least, there is no difference between
the report and the policy Of the
President.
We shall discuss more fully hereafter

Before these proposed amendments

LYNCH LAW IN MIssoURI.-At Rockport,
in Atclison county, Mo-, on Saturday even
ing, the 7th ult., between 6 and Z O'Clock, a
mob OF between 100 and $50 men attacked
the sheriff of the county and took from his
hands the prisoner Robertson, who had been
arrested for the killing of Capt. Hunter, a
son-in-law of Bill Lewis. The crowd took
Robertson to a grove near Maj. Werland's
farm on the Nishnebotone river and there
notwithstanding he plead with them for trial
at a legal tribunal-they hung him by the
neck until he was dead.
Citizens of Nebraska City, who were on
board the steamer which was leaving the
wood-yard when the affray between Hunter
and Robertson took place say that Hunter was
the aggressor, and that Robertson was on
the defensive. Hunter had been in the
Union and Robertson in the Confederate SER
vice, and in Missouri it isin accordance with
the new constitution for ex-union soldiers to
kick, cuff and beat ex-rebel soldiers when
ever they feel inclined. and it is not lawful
for the latter to defend themselves. If they
do mots will hang them. Radicalism rules
