NIAGARA FALLS DAY. Almost, and for
a few hours, for Tire strong easterly
gale of last Thursday blew the waters
Of Niagara river back into the lake, and
produced extraordinary phenomena at
and around the great cataract. They
are thus described by a correspondent:
Buffalo Greek was so low that all the
vessels in it were grounded, and Mag
ara Falls was riyulet compared with
is native grandeur. The bed of the
American branch was a riyulet COM
pared with its native grandeur. The
bed Of the American branch was so de-
nuded thatyo could travel in its rocky
bed without wetting your feet, and
mysteries that were never before reveal
ed came to light on that day. Rocks
that heretofore were invisible appeared
ia their full-grown deformity upon the
surface, and great was the consterna-
tion among the fnny tribes. The Three
Sisters we're accessible to foot-passen-
gers, and many trayersed where human
foot had never trod, with perfect impu-
nifty and dry feet Below the Falls was
the wonder Of wonders. The water was
fully twenty feet lower than usual, and
the Oldest inhabitants gazed in wonder
at the grand transformation. Near Sus-
pension bridge the celebrated rock at
Winners mill, upon which drowning
man caught and was rescued several
years ago. which barely projected its
head above the water, was laid bare
twenty feet above the surface"
With the subsistence Of the gale, the
waters came back, and Niagara was her
self again

AN ACT WITHOUT A PRECEDENT. =
We are ashamed of the South Carroll
ma Legislature. Its recent suspen-
sion of State Senator for q period
OF six months, for somc alleged mis-
conduct, is, we believe, without pre-
cedent in parliamentary law. We
imagine n temporary denial to Mr..
Leslie, of the privileges of member
ship, is C. matter of small consequence
to him. But it is not the Senator
who has n right to complain. The
people have done nothing to merit
punishment. His suspension leaves
his constituency in an anomalous
condition. They have and they have
not q Senator. There is no vacancy,
and there is no Senator. This is alb
surdly unjust. The Legislature of
South Carolina will find it best. In
the end, to regulate their actions by
old rules and precedents They are
loyal men, and wise, no doubt, but
we doubt their ability to improve on
the wisdom of ages. They simply
make themselves ridiculous in MAX
ing the, attempt.

editor:

MY DEAR SIR: Yours of the I'd
inst, dated at Brownsville, was for
warded me from Cincinnati.
In reply, 1 have only time to say.
that you cannot urge too strongly our
brethren of Texas to stand by the
National Democracy, and resist all
radical attempts to abuse you. My
heartfelt wish is that you may sue
ceed in your new undertaking. We
are making last fight for constitu-
tional liberty, and the signs of the
times indicate Democratic triumph
hitherto unknown. Yield not scin-
tilla of your honor. There is no
room for compromise.
About your being allowed to vote,
be not alarmed; we shall see that
Texas is represented. Vote, by all
means.
Send me your paper to Cincinnati.
/ will write more fully tomorrow, or
the day after. Yours truly,
GEO. II. PENDLETON.
We trust that Virginia and Missis-
sippi will also vote. Virginia has
never lost her status in the Union,
having ever been represented in Con-
gress. even during all the rebellion,
and has as much right to vote as
Massachusetts,. Mississippi was re-
fused representation only because she
voted down the negro constitution.
Let all vote. We shall see whether
the rump dare refuse the count.

A Card.

Having just returned from en- ex-
cursion through the States of Vir-
ginla, North and South Carolina, as
FAR as Colu umbia in the latter named
State, the undersigned take great
pleasure in acknowledging, through
the press, the great facilities extended
to us by the several railroad and
steamboat companies over whose
lines we passed; to the citizens of
Richmond, Virginia; of Greensboro,
Salisbury and Charlotte, N. c., and
of Lancaster and York Counties,
formerly Districts,) in South Caro-
lima, and also Columbia, S. c., for
the many kindnesses and attentions
paid us whilst with them. Those
thanks are not only intended for the
citizens of the towns named, but also
to the citizens of the surrounding
country who conveyed us with vehi-
cles free of all expense to their farms
and homes, and treated us with such
marked, noble hospitality. We are
OF the unanimous opinion that the
country through which we passed and
visited offers superior inducements to
active, industrious emigration, for
the following reasons: First-its
mild, salubrious climate, with it's
gentle summers and short winters.
Second-healthfulness and good so.
cicty. Third-cheapness of lands and
excellent market facilities. We are
also of the unanimous opinion that
much of the land we examined is
equally as fertile as the land of our
proved by our system of farming,
would yield richer reward.
We beg further to add that we be-
lieve the portion of the South we
visited perfectly safe-there being
naught but friendly feelings existing
between the whites and blacks. It
seems to US that what is wanting is
for the two sections of our common
country to know each other better
to understand the kind of "recon-
struction" that is required to make
us once more q united, prosperous
and happy people. What the South
wants is an industrious, enterprising
white population, smaller farms, and
more thorough culture. We will add
that a number of us think of pur-
chasing and removing thither.
We cannot close this card without
expressing our warmest thanks to
Gen. j. d. Imboden, for his assist
ance in our visit, and to Daniel De-
hert, of the Hagerstown Mail, and
Capt. Samuel DeF'ord, of Baltimore,
for much of the pleasure and salts
faction we enjoyed upon the trip.
Our thanks are also due the various
Southern newspapers for their kind
and complimentary notices of our

FAILURE OF THE SURRATT CASE
The Indictment against John II. Sur
ratt, for conspiracy to murder Presi-
dent Lincoln, having been quashed,
the trial on the new charge of con-
spring to kidnap the President, &C.,
has terminated in the discharge of
the prisoner, his counsel having
pleaded the statute of limitations,
which, after argument, was allowed
by the court. The statute referred
to is the Act of April, 1890, which
requires that indictments for treason
or other capital offences, except
murder, and indictments for forgery,
shall be made within three years of
their alleged commission, and indict-
ments for oil other offences within
two years. The Indictment which
has just been dismissed, charged the
prisoner with conspiring to kidpap or
abduct the President of the United
States, and one of the counts with
conspiracy to commit an assault and
battery upon the President, which
would bring it within the limitation
Of two years. The statute of limita-
tions, however, excludes from the
benefit of its provisions fugitives
from justice, and it was argued by
the counsel for the prosecution, that
Surratt was O fugitive, and, there
fore, not entitled to the benefit of the
limitation. The Judge, however, de-
cided that it was fatal to this objec-
tion that the indictment against Sur
ratt, in charging the crime, makes no
averment that the accused was at any
time q fugitive from justice. The
counsel for the prosecution have de-
termined not 20 abandon the case,
but to present new indictment to
the next grand jury. The penalty of
the offence with which he is charged.
is imprisonment not exceeding ten
years, or fine not exceeding $10,-
600, or both, at the discretion of the
court. The case, as it now stands,
seems but "lame and impotent con-
clusion" of the prodigious efforts,
time and expense which were involv-
ed in the attempt to convict Surratt
on the original accusation, and it
may be doubted whether the expe-
dient of getting at the prisoner by
the manufacture of new charges, has
any such prospect of success as to
warrant the cost and trouble of a
further prosecution. In view of the
long time (the Baltimore Sun thinks)
which the case has already occupied,
and the demoralizing agencies which
were exerted in the procurement of
testimony on the first trial, that, after
all failed to establish the alleged
facts, it would seem that the con-
tinued agitation of it is not demanded
by the public interests; but, on the
contrary, would appear like persecu
ton under the forms of law and
justice.

cyeHe urges them to Vote.
