A communication in relation TO an
article in a recent issue of the REGISTER
headed Trouble at Big Rum" was re-
ceivsd at this office from Marshal cOun-
ty, day OF two ago, and, owing to the
temporary absence of the editor, was
inserted without the explanation that
should have accompanied il If our
correspondent had observed she heading
ofthe three items, of which the article to
which he alludeS was the last, he would
have found our authority for the state
ment there given. We copied the item
from the Moundsville National, which,
we presumed, was familiar enough with
current events in its own county to be
reliable. While we would not justify
the publication of what II. Il. L. styles
"a base and slanderouS lie" merely
because another paper circulated it, we
wish our correspondent to know where
the story which offends him originated,
80 that he may fix the responsibility
nearer home.

Government in Louisiana.

Republican cotempOrary remarks
hat the reconstructed State Govern
ment of Louisiana, now under the
sword of General SHERIDAN, is power
" stricken concern-without money or
the means of nu'ting penny into the
treasury. A short time ago, Mr.. FLAN-
pERs, General SHERIDAN's new Govern
or. was waited upon by the President
and Managers of the State Island Asylum
and Informed that the one hundred and
seventy-fye unfortunates in that insti-
tuition were actually suffering for the
necessities which their situation de-
nands; that the asylum was penniless
and well-nigh out of provisions. Thi
state of things very naturally follows
from having satrap to direct affairs of
State with the point of his sword, and a
political consti' uency, as shown by the
registry of $4,000 negroes o 10000
whites.

fully represented at Paris, every ma,
chine of any prominence before the

previous to his departure from this city.
Her strange love intead of decreasing,
seems to flourish as time rolls on and
opportunity is given to think it over,
and when the party left this city to 60

From the New Haven IConn.l Journal, July ?.
distressing Accident at NorwalL, Ca
On Saturday last an accident of a
very sad character occurred in the vii
lage Of Norwalk, resulting in the death
of two little sons of Mr. Wilson, of the
firm Of Carter & Wilson, attorneys. The
boys we're the grandsons of Mr.. L. A.
Phelps, of this city, and were aged five
and seven years. Saturday forenoon,
about nine o'clock, they went ont to
play as usual, and came in about ten
and took lunch, as was their custom.
This was the last time their mother saw
them alive. At dinner time they did
not come home but nothing unusual
was thought of it. During the after
noon Mrs. Wilson began to be alarmed
about them, aud on her husbands re-
turn home to tea, he immediate
ly instituted search for them, which
proved unsuccessful. Both parents were
now in state of great anxiety and fear.
The assistance of the neighbors was OBJ
tanned, and ithe search continued till
toward morning, the agonizing father
going in every direction for his little
boys, while the mother awaited the re-
suit of the search in state of most
painful anxiety. Toward morning, tho
search having proved fruitless, the bells
of the churches were rung, calling out
the people, who, in organized bands,
made genera! search, going in,o the
woods and in every place where it was
supposed the boys would wander, but
without avail. The whole village was
in state of much excitement.
Notice of the absence of the boys was
given in the churches on Sunday fore
noon, and the subject greatly agitated
the minds of every one. About four
o'clock in the afternoon an lrishman,
who had been digging near Mr.. Will
sons house for some sand for mortar for
new building close by, passed by the
place with his dog. The dog suddenly
jumped down into the excavation, aud
the mans attention being drawn to the
place, discovered that it had caved in
on one side. He jumped into it. and
with his hands scratched away some of
the sand, and on doing so ran his fin
gers through one of the boys curls.
Quickly removing the earth, the two
boys were found dead, lying apon their
backs, one party upon the other, with
only few inches of sand upon their
faces. Botn Of the boys were very love-
ly children, greatly beloved by all who
knew them.

Sickle. on denomination

A Washington dispatch states that
General SICKLES has given epistolary
expression TO his views on recOnstruc-
tion, and that in a letter to A. JOHNSON
ESQUIRE. he has declared in favor OF
universal suffrage and universal am
nesty. The prodigious notOriety which
SHERIDAN has recently achieved by q
very silly and very impudent letter,
has probably suggested to the Carolina
Brigadier the propriety Of seeking fame
through the medium of the pen. He
will contradict everybody's opinion if
he does not realize the poetic senti-
ment,-
How oft have letters caused the writers
To curse the day they were inditers.'
The utterance of the same sentiments
which are ascribed 10 SICKLES lost old
Mr.. GREELEY seat in the United States
Senate The proposition of universal
amnesty for universal Suffrage. how
ever objectionable it may be in other
respects, sounds too much like finality
TO suit Radical tastes. The powers that
be are indisposed to inaugurate any
measures, or propose any terms, which
can be followed 10y complete settle
ment of the reconstruction question.
Their policy is to withdraw or amend
each proposition as fast as the South
shows a disposition to comply; to per-
pick the Southern people with new con-
ditiOns at every turn to dis
appoint them with broken promises and
all the while TO retain such control over
the reconstruction business rs will en-
able them to undo all that may be doue
toward final adjustment, until Radi.
calism, aud Radicslism only, shall be
known as political power in the South
Already they are providing for a -evis-
ion of the additional reconstruction
measures now pending in Congress. An
October session. il is stated, will be
held, just as the present session has been
held. TO undo everything in the politics
Of the South that does not promote the
Radical interest.
The proposition of SICKLES, and o
GREELEY before him, might be fatal t.
this policy of delay-this treacherou'
trifing with the peace and progress ot
the country. Although unwarranted
and unnecessary, and in many respects
unjust, it would still be definite and
final. 1t would prescribe terms, whose
acceptance must be followed by the ad.
mission of Southern representatives
Radical or otherwise, and hence its un.
popularity with the leaders in Congress
They would extend suffrage wherever
they could find black skins and woolly
heads, and they would grant amnesty
wherever they could find reliable con
verts o their doc rines, and Trustworthy
voters for their candidates. "How will
You vote ?" is the question with which
they would test mans fitness for citi
zenship. SICKLEs and GREELEY ar,
not up to the standard.
