drowned OIL Saturday night last by walking
into the lateral ca mai just north of the MllI>
son street bridge, near Arnours Warehouse.
The sidewalk, at this place. leads directly up
t. the canal. and there is no guard whatever
to prevent person, IN dark night, from
stepping into water six or eight Zee. deep, of
a perpendicular wall nine or ten fee. high
Tho night Was intensely dark, and Mr.. Prcvot
aiming TO reach the bridge, doubtless fell in
by going step to far before turning. The

tanning the facts as above, state in reference
to the want of suitable guards at this point.

is manifest b. neglect of the proper authors

the sidewalks on-both sides Of Mad ison street

best thing for the human hair yet presented to
the public. Taking precedence Of all other
preparations, it cleans the scalp cools the head,
and restores the hair to its original color. 1t pro-

out and restores it where it has fallen cut Ladies
can find nothing equal to it. As a hair dressing

The SroRM.-On Tuesday evening
last this locality was visited by a most
singular and terrific storm, accompa-
MED by sharp and vivid lightning, and
a tremend Gus fall of fine hail which
covered the ground to tho depth of
several inches. There were no dark
clouds, like
"Banncrs Of vengeance unfurled,"
IT was light as day, almost, overhead,
anu the earth was soon covered with a
carpet of pearly witness, while be-
tween, the flashes of lightning, fire.
quent and painfully brilliant, accom-
panied by the crash of the heaviest,
fiercest thunder, conspired to render
the scene one of fearful granduer and
sublimity. The "oldest inhabitant''
never saw such storm at this season
of the year under such peculiar cir
cumstances, and we doubt if any
who witnessed it at the hight of its
binding intensity will ever outgrow
the startling impressions of that most
wonderful exhibition. Several build
ings within the limits of the city were
struck, fortunately, however, no per-
sons were injured and the damage to
property was slight.

b. Hanchett Esq. of Saginaw City
responded The President was in as
trying a position as any ever held by
mortal man. He was emphatically
oneof the people, self-made, self-reliant
and unquestionably honest in his
course; the position was one which all
should respect. The speaker paid
glowing tribute to the Irish people,
who, though they had fought gallantly
for liberty in other lands, had always
suffered from oppression upon their
native soil. In the present movement
he hoped our President would not be
too strict in the construction of inter-
national law, but would show all pos
sible favor to Ireland and those labor
ing for her regeneration.

ton. ''-'
Responded by Hon. VIM. M. Fen
ton of Flint. Mr.. f. briefly reviewed
the history of the nation, abiding
exultipgly, to the fact that after an
existence Of 80 years, during which
time it has met and surmounted every
difficulty, including the recent wicked
rebellion among its own subjects, it
yet stands proud monument of the
wisdom and patriotism Of its founders,
a home and refuge for the oppressed
of ali lands, as he hoped it might
stand forever and soon be able to
welcome the Irish Republic as the
youngest and fairest among the sister,
hood of nations.
4. Ireland, her past, present, and
future.
Responded by the Hon. John Moore,
of Saginaw City, Mr.. Moore was as
usual most happy inhis illusions, and
having wrought the guests into the

n,ents to the sentiment proposed in
a feeling earnest manner, which clio
tied the closest attention.

of Irish poetry but Of Irish character

STuMpING THE NoRTH.-It has been sug-
gested that it would be a good arrange
mcnt for the prominent southern orators to
stump the northern States during the
next campaign for Congressional and State
elections. This is very proper sugges-
ton. The southern men could do much
good in disabusing the public mind Of the
North relative to the state of feeling in
the South. They would do much in help
ing to correct the misrepresentation and
falsehoods of the Frcedmen's Bureau, and
would help to encourage the fratcrnal SEN
timent which the late Convention at Phila-
dclphia inculcatcd.

The United States and Mexico.

The decree of the Mexican Emperor
blockading the port Of. Matamoras has
been declared null and void by the procla-
nation of President JOHNSON. MAxlMI-
LIAM is of course helaless against such q
power as the United States, and must
either recall his cdict or submit to its
being treated with entire contempt. The
pressure from without is evidently in
creasing upon MAxIMILIAN-most un-
justly, VIC take occasion to say-and he
will, 1t is very plain, have to leave in a
hurry some day not very far off. But al
ready arc the miserable chieftains quar-
reiiipg over the spoils of government.
We have the ORTEaA and JuAREz factions,
which are each ready to tear their country
In pieces to crafty their selfish ambition.
But very recently we had counter reyo.

was driven out and the JUAREz authority
established. If MAMMALIAN goes, the

The Euronean Difficulties.

For a week past there has been great
deal of speculation on hepart OF the Amer'-
can press as to the "situation " In Europe.
The intimation of design on the part OF
NAPOLEON to stretch his empire to tho
Rhine was regarded as signal for the re-
ncwal of hostilities. Afterwards came an
other message that the Emperor had aoah-
doned the idea of going tothc Rhine. sun
many sapient journals would not believe
that the shrcwd French Emperor would
. give it up So"
Rut now we have very positive mes
saue bv the cable, dated London the 18th
instant. which states that final negotia.
tons" were pending " between Austria and
Prussia and Austria and Italy," and peace
was " considered certain" We never be-
lieved that the war would be renewed after
the suspension of hostilities. Austria was
too thoroughly whipped by Prussia to re.
new the fight and We believed that If the
war could not be ended without the inter-
ference of the great Powers, they would
interfere and bring about peace. This
came without their intervention, and so
much the better.
Weplaced little faith in the recent report
that NAPOLEON had determined" to
move back his stakes to the Rhine. lie
desired 10 do SO, but the condition OF
affairs forbade his dctamiuing on 1t. II
Austria had whipped Prussia, he might
have determined" lie could then have
shaped events. But Prussia being the
victor, he could not. If he had made
the attempt to get to the Rhine by force
in the present condition of the Continent
general war would have cnsucd. France
would then have had all the great Powers
against her. NAPOLEON is too shrewd to
bring about that state of things. lie is
disappointed and frcttcd, but he will not
commit suicide for all that.

Tur RADICALS AND THE NEGRO.-All on
earth that the Radicals have to swear by
now is the negro. They have no other
capital. Caring nothing in the world about
the poor African, they have merely used
him as a means to get office and power.
They will continue to use him until they
find he "don't pay" But being cut of
from every other means of exciting the
public mind and gaining the public favor,
they will ride the negro to death, and they
will die along with him. 1t is only neces-
sary for northern people to understand that
the issue is simply between the white man
and the negro to carry the whole North
against Radicalism. The Federal soldiers
of the late war arc unanimously of opinion
that this is the "white mans govern
mcnt," and they cannot be mislcd by the
Radicals to take the wrong side. The peo-
pie of the North understand the question,
and whatever the madmen of Congress
may say, the great body of voters will
stand by the Constitution and the Govern
ment, and utterly disregard all this stuff
about negro equality, especially the quail.
ity of persons just now liberated from
slavery, and who are utterly unfit for the
responsibilities of sclf-government, what.
ever may be their capacity for improve.
ment and ultimate elevation to that condi.
ton. Let it be understood that the con-
test is between the white and the black
race, and no man can doubt on which side
the northern people will stand. How car
the Radicals escape this issue, which they
have with all their power and all the vc-
nom of their uncquallcd malignity forced
upon the nation!
