principles can be ended. No johnson con-
vention, no cringing Of weak Republicans,
can avail. We are not Of those who are
content now that Gen. Thomas has gone to
New Orleans, and assure the people that
the country is safe so long as Grant remains
in the Cabinet. These appointments may
strengthen our hopes, but do not remove
our doubts, for against them stands the all
important fact that Sheridan has been re-
moved. This is the proof that the country
is not safe that Mr.. johnson, undismayed
bv all bis hair-breadth escapes from i'm
peachment, has the boldness to defy the
people and to resolutely carry ont his pur-
pose of breaking down the reconstruction
policy of Congress. Sheridan was TO the
President the embodiment of a principle.
In Sheridan he saw the great executive of
Radicalism-~the whole legislation and
spirit of Congress summed up in the action
of a military commander. Personal en-
nifty was not the impulse Of the President.
Sheridan was to him the Republican idea
made tangible, and he struck that idea
down. Can we delude ourselves with the
belief that the blow falls on Sheridan alone
and not. upon US ? Can we take Thomas
appointment as an atonemeut for Sheri-
dams disgrace2 Can we suppose for a mo-
ment that Andrew johnson, having sue
cessfuily defed the Republican party, hav-
ing deliberately struck it full in the face,
will rest satisfied with his triumph We
do not thus mistake him or his policy.
We understand the removal Of Sher.dan as
a proclamation Of war, and are ready TO
accept the issue.
Our Washington correspondent asserts
that the policy Of removing all Generals in
the Rebel States who do not take Mr..
Johnson's views of reconstruction will be
carried out, and we can see no reason to
doubt IT, The Presidential attack upon
Sheridan il already begun Sickles and
Pope, and The National Iatellgmocr, the
Presidents adiutant, has drawn up the
order to be signed That will be done at
the right time, If Sickles and Pope persist,
as those upright soldiers will, in executing
the reconstruction laws as Congress in
tended. The reputation of the pure and
gallant Howard is undermined by ISLANDERS,
and he ls 70 be mustered out. Why should
these officers not be removed2 What diff
hculty does Mr.. johnson fear, having tri-
umphed over Sheridan? He has taken out

pistrs,, and Ruin at the South.

The following terrible picture of dis
tress and ruin appears in the Planter $
Banner, of Franklin, La, and is fully
corroborated by all the papers of that
section:
Few can realize how terrible is the
calamity of the overflow now scourging
the inhabitants of the lower Mississippi
BY these invading waters multitudes are
reduced to want and almost starvation
After five years of hardships, including
four years of war, in which they were
barely able to live, when they have no
money, and no means to pay their way
among strangers, many have to leave
home and lose their last means ofsupport.
In their distress, and almost despair who
can be found to help them Their neigh
bors are ruined, the country is ruined,
there is no money, no credit, but little
bread, and no hope of checking the mad
career of the merciless waters. Could
we but behold the hundreds of families
now seeking safety by flying from their
homes, the waters rolling over their falds
and crops, and entering their very dwell
lings, we would see distress such as was
seldom seen except on battlefield, or
in hospitals, even during the war.
From appearances it looks as though
the Mississippi coast will have to
be abandoned on account of the
utter inability of the planters and the
State to keep up the levees, How can
the levees be kept up without multitudes
of laborers Where are those laborers
coming from1 Terrible necessity is
driving the planters away, the negroes
are dying of, or yearly leaving for the
city in large numbers, to serve politicians
and to enjoy themselves, and the means
necessary to keep up the levees are daily
becoming weaker Who can devise a
plan to save the coast plantatisns from
ruin, and its inhabitants from the calam-
tiles which threaten them2 We have yet
to see the man who can solve this ques-
tion.

drew deriuger and shot him through
the heart, after which he never spoke.
Ash Clayton, who was fddling at the
time, then drew knife and stabbed Sol.
Colyer in the small of the back, under
the right shoulder. Abe Grow then
rushed in and shot Clayton through the
thigh, and another ball struck him on
the forehead, the ball not entering the
skull, but glancing over it under the
skin and passing out at the back OF the
head Crow then drew his knife and
struck Clayton across the head, in
flicting a terrible wound. Fitzhugh,
after shooting Beranger, rushed on. to
Tom Thompson, when the latter shot
him twice. Harmon then struck Thomp-
son, when the latter shot him in the
stomach, the ball passing through him.
Bob Forbes then rushed into the fight
when Thompson shot him down also,
the ball entering the right side, ranging
back, striking the backbone aud break
ing his back, then glanced to the right,
going down the hip. After the shoot
ing was all over, Bob Woodruff went
into the melee, when some man struck
him over the head with revolver and
laid him out for dead. So Smith also
came in hourishing revolver, when
Fitzbugh, who was thought to be dead,
or at least dying, raised himself, and
with his bowie. knife stabbed Sy Smith
inAicting a dangerous wound. Out OF
the eleven men who were engaged in the
fight, nine lay dead or mortally wounded
on the ballroom floor.
