whether your Government organized under

cations of.1the men elected to carryit on.

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

New YORK, February l.-Dates from
Lima are to the 18th of January.
Prado had been defeated at Arequipa and
forced to retreat to Islay. The revolution has
proved a success. Prado's administration
will be hurled from power.
Arequipa suffered Commandment of So
hours.
A Lima letter of January II, says force
sent by Prado to attack the revolutionary
forces under Segura were defeated and their
commander severely wounded. On receiving
news of this reverse, the Dictator determined
on final attack. On the 23d the water was
cut off from the city of Arequipa, and on
the Goth the bonlbardment commenced, last
ing SO hours. Over 5000 balls and shells
were thrown into Arequipa. Several barri-
cades were taken by infantry charges, but
they were abandoned for want of support.
General Busiamente having informed Prado
that the entire army was in revolt and clam
orous for his life, the latter thought the story
false, but Immediately sought safely in flight
Deserted by their chief, the troops became
demoralized, and large body passed over to
the enemy. Prado, on arriving at Islay, en-
barked for Callao, whence he proceeded to
Lima. The indignation against him is very
great. The troops in the Castle of Callao
were turned over to the Conseo Government
without bloodshed, and their example was
followed by the Limanoes. General La Ere
anto has taken the supreme command until |
the arrival Of Conseo, who is Second Vice |
President. Prado sailed on the llth for |
Chile, where he enjoys the pay and rank of
General,

EST. LOUIS, February Lit is reported
that Governor Fletcher is about to lease the
Missouri Pacific Railroad in the name Of the
State
| A bill has been introduced in the Legisla-
ture to abolish capital punishment; also, tc
establish a Board of Pardon Commissioners
to whom all applications for pardon shall
be presented.
CHICAGO, February 1.-The Diplomatic
Appropriation bill makes no appropriation
for Minister to Portugal, and prohibits sal
aries to Consuls or Consular Agents, except
those specified in the Act. No diplomatic
officer shall receive salary for the time he is
absent, by leave or otherwise, when such alb
sence exceeds 60 days in year.
WASHINGTON, February l.-Seward re-
monstrates with the Senate against abolish
ing secret agents. He states that such &C
ton greatly embarrasses foreign affairs and
will initiate against successful negotiations
on important public matters. Some impor-
tant treaties have been treated by special
agents that could not easily have been man
aged in any other way.
The President has approved the bill pro-
vidlng for the distribution among the people
of the South of the accumulated dessicated
vegetables and preserved meats not required
for the use of the army.

received at the State Department, which an

Circulate THE DocUMENTs.-The New
York Tribune, which has done more than
all other instrumentalities combined to in
Auence and direct the popular sentiment OF
me North, speaks from its own experience
when it says:
Flooding the country with printed matter
on the ere of an election, is desperate resort
better than nothing, and that is all. No
reliance can be placed on it. Little good
ordinarily comes of it. But begin now, and
systematically insure that every man who
has vote shall have newspaper, If he will
take it, and GHis safe.
That is sound talk. Every Union man
should exert himself in inducing his neigh
bors to subscribe to good Union paper.
Ii State and county committees will COM
inence now and send out thousands of Union
papers, they will use the money usually
squanaered to some advantage. Every Union
paper viii be liberal enough to supply extra
copies at cost.-NayysriAe Appeal.
Our contemporary is right. That is
sound talk of the Tribune's. None know
II better han the copperheads who keep
up regular system of free distribution
OF their parsy's organs throughout
every lite camp and settlement of the
country. Wherever there is congre-

RECONSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO HAN.
cocK.-The New York Tribune makes the
following statements and comments:
Judge Howe, of the First District Court OF
Louisiana, has made practical commentary
upon Gen. Hancock's jury order which is
sharp enough to be an intentional satire.
Our readers will remember that some time
ago Judge Howe and District Attorney Lynch
complained that the business Of the Court
was DISTRACTED by ''ignorant" jurymen, where
upon Hancock issued an order excluding from
the panels-whom think you: Ignorant men:
No, but black men. Well, Judge Howe gets
spick and span white jury, and they bring
him in verdict so outrageously contrary
both to law and evidence that he has to turn
them out Of Court, with the remark that
they do not possess the requisite intelligence
for the proper discharge Of their duties"
Thus the wisdom of our Washington the
Second has reduced the state of things in
New Orleans to this: Black men must not
serve on juries on account Of their color, and
white men cannot serve on account Of their
ignorance.

Snow IN THE ToIYABE MoCNTAINs.-Says

the Reese River Rereille Of the LIST inst:
The snowfall has been heavy this season
in the southern part of the Toiyabe range of
mountains, especially from the district of
Washington to the southwark of Ophir canon.
This is the more elevated portion of the range,
where the numerous canons by which it is
pierced are deep, narrow, and precipitous.
These gorges DO not invite the rays of the
sun, and they preserve their SHOWS beyond
midsummer. The snow melts gradually
and its water fertilizes the foothills and the
valleys and clothes them in refreshing green.
From this source comes the chief supply Of
water in this section. In Summit canon,
nearly fifty miles south of Austin, the snow
is now two feet deep on the level, while there
are meny drift heaps five to ten feet deep. 1t
is nearly as deep in Ophir and the adjacent
canons. On several of the loftiest submits
to the southwark the snow remains on their
corrugated sides exposed to the north ordi-
narily until the close Of summer but with
the heavy fall of the present year some Of the
snow will remain and mix with that Of the
succeeding year. !

ing of one sort Of arguments or asser.
tions, sooner or later produces the in
tended effect. There is no fact relating
to the history of political papers more
notable than that the Democracy rally
with zeal to the support of their organs.
There is no doubt but the Democratic
Central Committees, State and National,
always maintain liberal fund for tie
dissemination of their newspapers !;
and their legislators and other public
men are constant in their efforts to
secure to such publications whatever
patronage may by any possibility be
secured. We allude to these facts not
in any spirit of selfishness, nor because
the APPEAL has not been or is not being
as literally sustained by the party as its
conductors have any right to expect
but our object is to draw the attention
of the party to the necessity of putting
a plenty of the RICH, sort of reading
matter into the hands of such persons
as are but too freely furnished with
the every effort of which is
toward arousing a feeling of
distrust and contempt for the measures

throughout the State would, if prose-
,u,ed with assiduity, be promolive of

The accident on the Harlem Railroad the
other day, by which one person was killed and
another injured, and a horse-car with all its
passengers narrowly escaped destruction, at
the crossing of the Harlem and Belt Railroad
tracks, on Fifty -ninth-st., shows the imperative
necessity of compelling the Harlem Company
to erect gates at all such dangerous points
AT present there is no provision for the safety
of the public at any of the crossings on the
Fourth-ave. above Forty-secOnd-st.. not even

are not run at high speed within the populous
parts of the city, their passing is inevitably
attended with danger 1t may seem that persons

selves by reasonably careful lookout; but
any one who has been much in the neighbor
bood of railroads knows how easy it is even
for careful persons to become confused and
forget their usual caution when two trains are
approaching from opposite directions, as was
the case when the accident occurred on Thurs
day. AT every point in the city where the

The Marquis Townshend is, in this year Of
grace, moving the House of Lords for an act
to exempt the property of a lodger in leased
premises from being distrained for rent due
from his host to the superior landlord. Law
reform travels slowly in England. About a
quarter of century ago distress for rent was
abolished by law in most Of the American
States and for the half century previous an
attempt to "dstress" a tenant would have
been likely to bring very sudden and exem.
plary distress on the landlord.

principal streets of the city were submerged,

Buildings were undermined, property in cellars
was ruined, street cars were swept from the
tracks, and about five persons were drowned
The damage will amount to S3,O0O,OOO. AT
