Third, that Max. knows that he will have
to "vamoose the rancho" Fourth, that he is

Fifth, that he has found such decent excuse.
Sixth, that it will be abdication in favor Of
little Iturbide, who has been formally adopt

s& TIE New PARTY.-FOr months past
a movement has been in progress for the
formation of new political party which
should combine the rebel element at the
South with the democratic and conscrya-
tive elements at the North. With this
combination it has been thought practical
BILE to scduce the administration into co.
operation with it, when :hc new party
would be fairly set up in business, and
would proceed to use all its advantages for
the perpetuation of its power
This explains the concerted assault, by
both the Northern democrats and conscrya.
tivcs upon the authority of Congress, as the
law-making department, over the recon-
struction of the revoltcd States The de-
sign has been to prepare the way for a great
and fatal detection which should restore
the pro.slayery party to its old authority.
The first public demonstration to this
end was made in the House of Representa-
tives, by Mr. Daniel W. Voorhees,, of India.
ma. 1t did not succeed, Mr. Bingham, OF
Ohio, poured whole broadsidc into this
new piratcal venture, and virtually sunk it,
amid the applause of the members and the
spectators in the gallery.

that the French Emperor will withdraw his

will be Of short duration. The probabilities

the grandson of the first Emperor who he
recently adopted as his successor, and leave
for Europe. The Iturbide family, having

E'erils Of a. SicigtinG.Par,y.

The Cedar Falls (lowa) Gdzette says: "On
Wednesday morning, about half past four,
load of passengers, consisting OF eight or
ten gentlemen and Two ladies, attempted 10
cross the Missouri river ut Dubuque to take
the carly Eastern train.
The sleigh was the public conveyance
running from Dubuque to Dunleith, and the
agent accompanying 1t carried lantern,
for it was yet dark. The sleigh had pro-
ceeded but short distance when the ice
gave a lurch to the north, and the passengers
were precipitatcd into the river Colonel
W. III. Sessions and his daughter Mary, Of
this city, were among the passengers. The
Colonel went over backwards, and passen-
gers and trunk came on top OF INN.
The agent had jumped from the sleigh as
he saw it going down, and in seeking to
rescue those in the water had broken in and
lost his light. 1t was so dark now that
nothing could DC distinguished, and the
situation was terrible. The Colonel was
perfectly selfpossessed, and repeatedly eau,
toned those around him not to be righten-
cd and they would all get out. He knew
his daughter was in the water, but where
she was he could not tell. He got hole of
a lady whom he supposed to be her, but
soon discovered it was not. lie held her
up, however, ana nhally got her out. HIS
daughter had gone entirely under and came
up without her bonnet. She was finally
helped out by IL stranger, who told the
Colonel ilat it didn't matter what his name
was.
"A ladder was brought and put down in
to the water. This the Colonel grapplcd,
and he says it seemed To him he could hold
on to it forever. But mis- muscles relaxed
in spite of hiM and he went down. lie
came up and ran his arms through the
rounds of the ladder and held on by his
forearm. lie went under the water three
times before he got out Miss Sessions went
under twice, and when taken out was al
most insensible. Her clothes were soon
frozen stiff, and she was unable to walk
Her father, who was the last of all out of
the water, having forgotten his own safety
in the perils of Others, was still active, and
carried her to the omnibus on shore" .a.
