DISTURBANCES LAST NIGHT,
Outrage in the Third District,
HOUSE ENTERED and ROBBED,

About midnight last night the residence of
Joseph J. Foucher, No. los Spain street,
was entered by a number of armed men,
said by Mr.. Foucher to be members of a
Democratic club. The house was searched
by the intruders and considerable sum in
money, consisting of greenbacks, city notes
and silver, found and carried off.
MIR. Foucher is native of this city, ap-
parently white man, and has always en-
joyed the reputation Of being an industri-
Gus and quiet citizen.
We learn that claim for damages will
be preferred against the city by Mr..
Foucher, which if sustained will have to
be paid, and thus add another burden to
taxpayers.
The property already destroyed, and for
which the city treasury will have to pay, is
very considerable, and will no doubt make
a large item in the Controllers report.
1t seems to be quite impossible that such
occurrences can take Place by SO large a
number of men and kept secret. If suf-
fcient inducements for witnesses to come
forward were offered, it is probable that
testimony sufficient to convict would be
forthcoming.

WASHINGTON, October 28.-Ia the United
States District Court to-day Judge Blatch-

saerlaee Of the Beaut,ful rrlnee..e,.

A German correspondent of the Freis-
cbettt5 says: What a pity that the beau
tilul Danish princesses should be married
to such men as the Prince Of Wales and the
Grand Duke hereditary of Russia. The
former is an incOrrigible rake, and the lat
ter scrofulous youth. There are no finer,
nicer and better educated young ladies in
Europe than the daughters of King Chris
tan TX. They would grace any house
hold, and would make the best of husbands
indescribably happy. And now doomed to
such let, which, brilliant as it may seem,
is at bottom but gilded wretchedness.
Providence, too, seems to set the seal of
His disapproval on these unions.
Look at the way in which young Fred
erica, Of Wales, is pining away in London.
Six years ago she was the embodiment of
health and beauty, and now she is but a
wreck of her former self, and not yet twen-
ty-fve. And that sweet, bright girl, Dag
mar, who was admired by everybody who
saw her in Copenhagen, is reported to be
consumptive, prey TO the miserable
climate of St. Petersburg, and perhaps,
also, to disappointed hopes of happiness.
The good mother Of these girls is said to be
profoundly melancholy, and well she NAV
be when she looks upon the fate that has
befallen her lovely daughters, linked as
they are to men to whom, if they were of
private extraction, no honorable man
would intrust his daughter"

The Frankfort Commonwealth gives list
Of Kentucky officers, above the rank of
major, who support Grant and Colfax,
which embraces fourteen generals, thirty
eight colonels and forty-four lieutenant
colonels. General E. H. Hobson, whose
name has been lately published in the
Democratic papers in a list said to favor
Seymour and Blair, writes the editor of the
Commonwealth as follows; ~ have never
entertained the remotest idea of voting for
or supporting, in any manner, shape or
form, the rebel Democratic ticket headed
by Seymour and Blair. have for some
time honestly believed that the success of
the so-called Democratic party would in
sure the destruction Of our great Govern
ment, and in its success that liberty. free
dom and human rights would be totally
obliterated and disregarded, and all that
our noble, grand and glorious Federal
army fought for would be lost to the gem
erations which are to follow and control
the destinies of a free, happy, prosperous
nation and people"

ALL TALE AND Ne CIDER.-Governor Sey-
mour has taken the stump, and will talk in
his own behalf from now until the day of
election. Well, Seymour was always good
at pretty speeches, but lamentably deficient
in action. The late Dean Richmond, in
his plain, blunt way, once said to the Gov
ernor, by Cd, Governor, if you would
only act as well as you talk you would be
ct for the kingdom of Heaven But
Governor Seymour is now speaking before
the people of the United States, and not
before Dean Richmond His remarks rem
der one thing certain-that it would be
entirely useless to elect him President, and
that if he held the reins of government in
bis hands tomorrow he would. be power
less to control the radical legislation Of
Congress. OF what use, then, would it be
TO place him at the head Of the government ?
Far better to elect Grant, who can exercise
some control over Congress, and to trust
70 his Conservative views to shape The
future policy of the Uaited States. Asto

"Only one murder at time is committed
in one place, and therefore we canInot in
terfere." This is the substance of the re-
ply by the Administration to the applica-
tions yesterday for aid in North and South
Carolina, made by officials and other re
preventative men of those States, who
furnished the ghastly lists of murders for
political causes which we print in other
columns. From the Southwest the reports
are even more horrible. A single dispatch
from New Orleans tells us Of the assassina-
ton of the Justice of the Peace in Ca lido
parish, and the murder of Judge Chase and
the Sheriff of Franklin. almost in the very
presence of band of Seymour Knights"
An Alabama letter gives the documenta-
ry evidence concerning the murder OF the
President Of Loyal League. And from
Texas we have reports Of the reorganiza-
don of rebel regiments. "We must have
a President who will execute the will Of
the people by trampliDg into the dust the
usurpatioDs Of Congress known as the re-
construction acts That was the word
sent by the Democratic candidate for the
Vice-P Presidency. Till that signal for
rising was sounded the rebels were COM
paratively quiet, and reconstruction was in
peaceful progress. Now read Governor
Seymour's smooth words, attempting to ex-
plain Blair away, and see if pretty phrases
will bide this dripping blood that sleeps
his garments.-Ne,o York Tribune.

TRUE PLANCHETTE.

Maiden, with those gray eyes set
On the heart-shaped mystery,
Pray, what answer do you get
To your question, may see
Why the papers just as fair
AS the small hand over it;
Save curl of lovely hair
Dropping on it, as you sit.
Maiden, watch and wait no more;
Oracle far truer yet
Lies inside your bosom door,
Than this mystery, planchette.
To the left, now curve that neck,
Lay that white hand on 4oUr heart:
Quick it travels at loves beck,
Answers ere the lips can part.
