DIsTREss1Na ACCIDENT. A mos

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. - A most
melancholy accident occurred yester-
day evening on board the steamer St.
Charles. A lad of fourteen years,
son of Harris Lemaster, hard work
ing mechanic who lives IN Lamasco,
went across the river on the st.
Charles to mark sacks of corn. On
the return of the steamer to the city
wharf, he was standing against one of
the stationary fenders,s when a swing
ing fender was thrown over, and as i
swung down struck his head, smash5
ing it against the stationary fender.
causing almost immediate death. The
lad was carried upon the wharf boat
of r.. K Dunkerson Il Co., and sub
sequently to the shore. where Coroner
Havlin held an inquest upon it, rem
dering a verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
The father of the boy was sent for,
and his agony upon beholding his
darling boy lying bruised and lifeless,
was painful to witness. Arrangements
were made for the proper interment
Of the deceased, which will take place
to-day. The father of the boy was in
the army as carpenter. The boys
mother in dead Whether there was
any carelessness upon part ofthe men
letting over the fender, we did not
learn. 1t is a terrible warning, how
ever, to the many boys who rush
aboard steamboats, upon their land
ing here at the imminent risk of their
lives. 1t is singular to us that more
accidents of the kind do not occur.

Napoleon and the United states.

What surprising change, and gratifying
one to us, has come over the Emperor Napoleon
with regard to this country! Two or three
years ago the United States and everything re-
lating 10 them were at discount in the esti-
nation and policy Of his imperial Majesty.
American citizens had to stand back in Paris,
while the rebels were petted and lionzed.
This was when the nation was engaged in
fearful struggle for its life; when the Mexican
empire and Latin race scheme was being tried,
and when the monarchs of the Old World ex-
pected to see this mighty republic dismem-
bered. Now, distinguished American citizens
are treated like princes. The Emperor Napo-
leon, our kilograms from Europe inform us,
gave state dinner especially in honor Of Ad-
miral Farragut Immediately on his arrival in
France. The Empress Eugene, too. showed
her appreciation of America by paying a
special visit to the United States steamer Colo
RADIO at Cherbourg. Or course she was
warmly received by our gallant sailors, for
which she appeared highly gratifed. But it is
not in these incidents alone that their Majesties
show marked consideration to America and
Americans. At the great Paris Exposition our
countrymen had not only the honor of carry
ing off many prizes, which were fairly won,
but Napoleon was particularly gracious to the
successful competitors and specially honored
several of them. America and Americans are
the rage now, and we should not be surprised
to see within short time greater Juror at
Paris about our country than there was at the
court of Louis the Sixteenth during our Revo-
lutionary war. Napoleon has learned, doubt
less, what the French people felt all along, that
the friendship Of this mighty transatlantic re-
public is of great value to France. We shall
have no more imperial or La in race expert
mems on this continent The monarchical
Powers Of Europe will not make another effort
to break us up or limit our influence, but will
vie with each other in couriing our friendship.

Bargaining for the Negro Vote.

We have report from Washington that the
South Carolina white conservatives, or some of
them, have proposed q political bargain with
the blacks Of the Commonwealth, to the effect
that the conservatives will help to elect the
candidates of the blacks for Congress- without
regard to color, provided the blacks give the
whites the control Of the State government.
We suspect, however, that as there ore four
hundred thousand blacks against three hundred
thousand whites in South Carolina, the former
will turn deaf ear to anything like the bar.
gain suggested, holding, rs they do, the power
to take the members Of Congress and the State
government in their own hands in the work Of
reconstruction. The prospect is, therefore,
somewhat gloomy for the South Carolina
whites Of the conservative party, although in
most Of the other States of the Eve military
districts the republicans may look out for some
opposition bargains in the interest Of negro
candidate here and there for Congress, which
will materially derange their plans and calcu-
lations.

The prillenn,um Of tho Cruisers.

There must be something fatally provocative
Of pugnacity IN tho heat of these our dog
days. For more than week past not day
has elapsed without ono or more merry mills
between those lively lads the shoulder-hitters,
either at some secluded spot IN the suburbs of
New York, or in some sporting house in town,
or on some corner of Broadway itself The
prizc-ight mania is raging. Newspaper re-
porters rave of left-handcrs, and rlb-roasters,
and heavy sickeners on somebody's nasal
promontory; of blows that send the teeth rat
Ting down somebody else's throat, that lit this
one clear off his pins or send the other to
grass, badly punished. and finally Of throwing
up the sponge. They have well nigh exhausted
their vocabulary of slang in describing the
recent numerous exhibitions Of the manly art
of selfdefence. They are daily occupied in
recording names destined, perhaps, to be
illustrious in the annal, of the P. r., but most
OF which have hitherto been quite unknown
to fame. The catalogue has had long sup
plement added to it during the past ten days,
thanks to Bob Wade and Tom Kavanagh, the
Infant Lawler and John Hapans, the Sheffield
u
and Pat Carroll, Tom Levy and Patsy Garvin,
Patsy Hart and Tom hatfield, Steve Donnelly
and Phil Mcconnell, Frank Sullivan and Tom
Marney, John Provost and Tom Evans, Pat
Garfield and Jim Hartegan, Tom Mccarthy
and Jack Railway, not TO mention other mus
cular heroes who have been drawing each
others clsret or freely shedding their own in
honor Of the opening millennium OF the bruisers
John Morrissey has fairly fought his way into
Congress. Why may not his bro her bruisers
aspire at least to exemption from interfer-
ence with their rough sports on the part of
Superintendent Kennedy and his blue coats ?
The latter, indeed, swear that they are already
irrepressible, and fear they will remain so
while the dog days last, if not for thousand
years.
