shot in Bowie county--wcnt to
New Orleans and returned with
twenty cavalrymen to remove his
family-found that they had been
driven off to Arkansas-and was
greeted by 300 armed and unrecon-
structed Bowieites, before whom
the cavalry fell back on some strong
position which has not been heard
from since. OfcOurse Mrs. Temple
died from III treatment. and the
Captain is at the point Of death

THE COMING BRIGADIER.-The

"As bad as this bill is. it has its
virtues We believe that the wei

care Of much more humane and
honorable men than if we were to be
turned over to the tender mercies of
those sons of the South, who Will

pie at the cost of their own infamy.
Without. the promise held out to Ar
mold. they will reap his reward
The infamous tools of designing poll
ticians, their pusilanimity will insure
the contempt of their masters.
"Under its provisions, we can only
ask the commander-in chief to give
us as our Military Governor a sol

bensivc word; one who has not
learned the science of war and prac-
ticed it only in the halls of Congress
CT in the bar rooms of Washington,

has fought us and learned to appre-
cate us. Be our government what
it may, and call our executive officer

PASSAGE OVER THE VETo.-Spccial
dispatches to the Crescent say that
Thaddeus Stevens moved to take
action on the veto message, imme'
diately after il was read, but yielded
to Eldridgo and LcBlond, who
showed disposition to resort to
parliamentary tactics to postpone
the vote. For this purpose Mr.,
Blaine introduced n resolution to
suspend the rules, This having
been done, the Speaker, ColthX, an,
nounccd that his predecessor had
held tho right of the House during
the last ten days of the session to
suspend all the rules in the Digest,
so as to prevent delay in the passaga
ofany bill LcBlond appealed from
the decision and moved to take Il
recess and for some moments it
was thought that n repetition of
similarappeals might prevent Il final
vote; but the lack of organization
among the Democrats rendered such
q result unattainable, and, the rules
being suspended, the bill passed
over the veto by vote Of 135 to AZ
more than the requisite majority.
Speaker ColfaX recorded his vote
without q need for it, to leave no
doubt of his views, and the an
nouncement was received with APP
plause.
The vote in the Senate stood 26
to 10. SO the bill is now ~ law
Reverdy Johnson, says a special
dispatch to the New Orleans Times,
maintains his position that he sees
hope for restoration in the measure.

John Bright and the vote by BAliOt-'

John Bright and the Vote by Ballot
The Future Work OF the League.
q. Mr.. L. Beales recently received the
following letter from John Bright, on
the future work of the Reform League:
Nv Dear Mr.. Beales 81 am glad to
see that il IS not intended to discon-
tinue the organization and labors of the
Reform League, although so great a
step has been gained ln the extension
of the suffrage. On that branch of the
question of reform, 1 presume you will
not feel IL necessary now to agitate
further, so far as the borouRhs are con-
cerned.-
But the concession of a wide fran
chise is most incomplete so long as the
security of the ballot is denied. As a
machinery tor conducting the elections
without disorder, the arrangement of
the ballot Is perfect, and, If on that
ground only, Il should be adopted. But
there is higher ground on which all
reformers should insist upon 1t. The
more wide the suffrage, the more there
are of men in humble circumstances
who are admitted to the exercise
of political rights, the more clearly
il is necessary that the shelter Of
the ballot should be granted. am
confident II would lessen expenses at
elections, greatly diminish corruption,
and destroy the odious system OF in
tlm1QAu0n, wDlCn now 80 eALen5lfelS
prevails, and that II would make the
House of Commons n moIe complete
representation of the opinions and
wishes OF the electoral body. L have
very strong conviction on this subject,
and hope all our friends throughout
the country will accept the ballot as
the next great question for which. in
connection with Parliamentary reform,
they ought to contend. Without this
safeguard, there can be no escape from
corruption and oppression at elections,
and our political contests will still re-
main what they now are, discredit TO
us as a free and Intelligent people. If
the Reform League and Reform Union
will make the ballot their next work,
they must soon succeed. Ineed not tell
you thatI shall heartily join them in
their Iabors for this great end. hope
the friends of the ballot-those who care
tor freedom and morality In the work
ing OF our representative systen-will
provide the needful funds to enable
you to move on with an increasing
force to a complete success. Believe
me, always sincerely yours,
JOHN BRIGHT.

NeD York Cor. Rochester Democrat.
The contrast between wealth and pow
erty, exhibited so frequently in New
York, reaches even the sacred precincts
of the church. While on the one hand
there are nearly 80 ward missionaries,
Iaboring hard on salaries of $500 per
annum, and finding it no easy matter
10 keep body and soul together, there is
on the other hand mOnied ariStocracy
in the pulpit which holds its own even
in the circle OF capiIHl. DIR. Spring, OF
the brick church, is said to be worth
nothing, but being of an economical
turn he laid by portion of his salary
and made some good Investments. The
doctor enjoyed the friendship and pa
tronage oil Shepherd Knapp, President
of the Mechanics Bank, VINO is one of
the shrewdest men in New York. MIR:
Knapp was a member of his flock, and
gave good business advice in return
for the solid sermons of the divine. As
Il result, DIR. Spring, in his latter days,
enjoys a fortune whose eannual dividend
would exceed the highest dreams of the
clergy generally. The Episcopal clergy
are well provided for, and the late DR..
Berrian lett property valued at 500
900. Drs. Higbie and Dix are both
Taylor, OF Grace Church, is fully able
to keep the wolf from the door.
Among the Dutch body old DIR. Hewitt
may be referred to as paying tax on
an income of $4,000. He owns the
house he occupies, and he got rich out
of the peaceful accumulation of his
forty years paslorate. Another of the
rich divines OF New York is DR.. YER
milye, also OF the Dutch order. The
Vermilyes are "A wealthy family, whose
history is hus given: Many years ago
there was sexton OF that name who
attended n little Dutch Church in
Vandewater street. He had several
bright sons, one of whom he contrived
to educate for the ministry. The others
became business men. One of them
got to be wealthy cashier of bank,
and another succeeded as II broker and
made half million. The clerical
member of the house was put in an op-
ulent pulpit, and, with the aid and Rd-
vice OF his brothers has SO improved
his opportunities that he is now reck-
oned the richest clergyman in the city.
ALI of these men are ID. DIS, title
which in this case seems very Rppro-
pirate, since it may stand for "dollars, /"
''dollars." Other clergymen are get
ting rich. Beecher is now better of
than most of his wealthy congregation,
and Chaplin is making money by leo
turing at S75 per night, In addition
to 81 900 per annum for his pulpit SER
vices. DR.. Bellows is another wealthy
divine, of the Unitarian order, while
DIR. Tying and DR.. Adams are also rich.

Bursting OF reservoirs near Hartford,
COnn.---FieIds and Valleys Flooded
..-ImInenae Damage.

HARTFORD, September 6.-The dam
of the West Hartford reservoir, six
miles from the city, which supplied the
city with water, was washed away
about halfpast nine this morning, and
the water is sweeping with tremendous
force over the corntields and pasture
lands, bearing huge limbs, fences and
everything with 1t. For two miles the
fields are flooded, and the valleys and
flats below the stream are filed with
sand, rock and other debris. ...
The damage to private property Is con-
siderable, and the loss to the city will be
800, GOO. The dam carried away was SIS
feet high from bed OF brook, and 2O5 feet
wide. 1t contained some 80, 900 yards
of earth, and was built year ago at
cost of $50, 600. It has not been cOnsid-
cred safe and was never properly built,
and was q failure from the start al
ways leaking and weak. The reser-
voir that is 80 acres In extent. Is now
drained dry. 1t held two hundred mill
lion gallons. The upper reservoir, two
miles above, with partly finished dam
seven feet high, was also washed away.
This reservoir covers seventy acres.
The city has been supplied since jan
uary With water from the West Hart
ford reservoir, but can be fed by pumps
from the Connecticut river In the old
way, SO there will be no interruption of
the supply.
The Streams beyond West Hartford
are flooded, and many OF the bridges
gone, interrupting travel. The branch
road to Collinsville has been In some
places submerged or swept away, and
trains to-day were interrupted.
Two dams of E. w. Graham, clock
manufacturer, in Bristol, were carried
away causing u loss of $4,000.
The rain falling in this city yesterday
was 1888 100 inches.

Enthusiasm OF the p russians over th'
American Commander and hIs Ship.

EnthusIRSm OF the p russians over the
American Commander ahd his Ship.
The Frolic, on the way from Cher
bourg to Cronstadt, put in at stettin,
Prussia, 10 take on board Mrs. Farra :
gut and party, who had come overland.
through Cologne, up the Rhine, and,
Berlin from Paris. The appearance OF
the Frolic at Stettin WAS the first visita-
ton of an American ship to Prussian
waters, and the greatest curiosity was
manifested on the part of the Prussians.
AT first there was kind of hesitation
about the progress of the ship up the
Oder on the part of the Prussians, who
were taken completely by surprise at
the first appearance OF an American
armed ship steaming SO far inland, As
the kind intention OF the frolic was
manifested, the hesitation OF the Prus-
SLAMS gave way to curiosity, then un-
bounded courtesy, then enthusiasm,
which went on increasing amid shout
ing, firing of cannons, and bands OF
music, till one grand, wild, spontaneous
ovation from land and shore welcomed
the Frolic in Prussian waters. As the
Prolic approached Stettin, the shore
batteries pealed forth the national sa-
lutte to America, ana on All SIDES was
run up the American flag. The people
the shore in crowds, while the
Prussian garrison was marched out,
and stood at parade rest, 10 welcome
the Frolic's arrival. The newspapers
came out with extra editions an

morning of the l1th, the people, nobili-

on board, and during the day about

One of the petty annoyRnces of travel
is the supercilious air of hotel clerks.
This has become 80 universal, and the
exceptions TO the rule SO peculiarly
ridiculous We have travelled from
one end of this land TO the other-and
back again-in all directions, time after
time, and we cannot recall half dozen
hotels In which the clerks appear vii.
ling TO regard the traveller as their equal
in any respect. The Massasoit House
at Springfield is such a marked excep-
ton that II deserves particular mention,
and we have the names of one or two
others also in our memory. The pro-
prietors; themselves, are usually AHA
Bile, polite, and attentive to their guests,
as far As they have anything to do with
them. They have the interests OF their
houses at their hearts, of course, and
recognize the necessity of making the
traveller as com Portable as possible.
But for some eunaccountabls reason the
clerk almost universally conceives II to
be his duty 10 pay as little attention as
possible to what traveller says, TO
answer his questions shortly and un-
satisfactorily, and to stare him in the
face with an expression of eountenance
between contempt for the guest and Rd-
miration for himself. This is so much
the rule that, as we said before, 1t be-
comes annoying as 1t sometimes IS,
perfectly luulCrOuS 10 lue lIHNeIeEs we
ourselves can hardly keep a straight
face when we enter hotel on account
Of the absurd uniformity in this regard.
We are glad to forego the joke, however,
when we are fortunSte enough to meet
the proprietor himself.
Hotel landlords do not always Rppre-
cIats the Importance OF an attentive
and respectful manner on the part OF
their employees toward their guests.
Any traveller willireturn to the hotel at
which he is treated with politeness and
consideration; and he will advise his
friends 10 go there. No excellence in
the table and other accommodations
will make up for wounded personal
pride and the annoyance 10 which inso.
lence or inattention on the part of hotel
clerks and ssrvantsgive rise. If man
can object to his room, or to the amount
of his bill, and have his objections po-
litely considered, he Will put mn with
garret, or pay an exorbitant price, and
go away satisfied. AS we said before,
the landlords themselves are generally
polite and cOnsiderate; they will do
we'll to give more attention to the polite
ness of their clerks ond other Reryants.
