ACCIDENT. - Yesterday afternoon, about
four O'Clock, just as the Opelousas Railroad
ferryboat was swinging off to leave the land.
ing, double-team wagon ran down the
inclined road that leads to the float
where the boat lies, to 90 on board.
Before the team reached the boat, how
ever, tho latter had swung off SO far that
the horses were precipitated into the river.
The wagon was so heavily loaded that it was
not dragged after them, but remained on
the float, while they swung by the harness
until the traces were cut. After some trou-
bic the horses were swan around the boat
and landed. Nobody was hurt, but for about
ten minutes the air resounded with impr e.
cations more picturesque than pious; and

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

AN ExTHssrFE RoBsERy.-The fact of see;
ing cart wheel tracks on Lafayette street.
in itself, does not ordinarily convey any
further idea than that dray has passed
along, and nothing more: but even this
simple thing to Special Officers Cane aad
Marks was sufficient light for them to trace
out den of systematic thieves.
Lafayette warehouse and the warehouse
opposite, corner Magazine and Lafayette
streets, have been often robbed lately OF
valuable wares, how, when and By whom
was unknown until yesterday, when these
two perseverlng officers sailed forth to fer
ret out the robbers. They had no clue to
work on, but they took up the track men
toned above, which led them to Nos. 107
and 100 Lafayette street. Procuring a
search warrant they entered these shaaties,
where they secured Robert Campbell and
10. Scheiber, and then proceeded to search
the houses. Their sharp eyes quickly dis
covered great variety of valuable goods,
OF that description only seen in rich stores.
Shining broadcloths, danasks, laces, tie
atrical costumes, gauzy curtains, bedding,
shoes, and hundreds Of other useful and Or
namcntal things were, one after another
turned out from hooks, corners, chests and
boxes. A cqsk OF Otard brandy, Old and
racy, worth ten dollars 4 gallon, was in po-
sition for tapping, Cane putting stick into
it and Marks making his on it. Gathering
these stolen goods together they took them
and their prisoners to the main station for
safe keeping. One cask of the rare old
brandy was missing, but they found it with
Philip Mckinney, grocer, Rampant street.
The liquor and the Nc were incarce-ated,
One OF the robbers states that he sold the
brandy to Mckinney Sunday for one dollar
per gallon, which vas pretty good bargain
apparently.
A portion Of the dry goods were claimed
by Mr.. J. H, McCiinnis, and it is known that
owners for the remaining lots will be found
to-day.

A DEMVcRlTIg APPEAL TO THEM,
TIE tiOsEf CONTRACT REpuDhrED
The Bearer Of the Eagle Indignant.

We arc informed bya member Of one of the
Republican clubs of the Third Ward that
about a hundred men belonging to that club
were employed Saturday night to carry
torchlights for one Of the mounted Demo
cratic clubs. They were promised two dol.
lars and a-half each for this service, and
were urged to cheer for Seymour and Blair
on the route.
At the corner of Prytania aud Felicity
streets the torch.bearers were invited into a
hall, and were addressed by Democrat, who
asked them if they were going to permit
carpet.baggers to come down here and rule
the South, or if they would not prefer rather
to go with their old masters, whom they had
known for ten, twenty, thirty or forty
years. They were asked # they would
not consult among themselves and among
their acquaintance, and make up their
minds to vote for Seymour and Blair next
November? They were also asked if the
carpet.baggers aud scallawags gave them
any work, or if they owned any land o. h; 4
any capital here?
The speaker put some questions to a
former slave, then in the hall, whom he
said he paid thousand dollars for, in gold,
and asked him if he was not kindly treated
while slave, and fold him that he was
glad he was free, for he could hire him at
less expense now than it cost him before,
closing 2 by the declaration that at
the next Turnout they would have
FIVE hundred more Of his "colored
friends in the procession, the speaker Their
proposed to pay them one dollar apiece fo
| marching and carrying torch lights ant
transparencies, alleging that the funds werl
insufficient to pay the amount agreed upon
Many Of them declined to take that amount
and some Indignantly threw the monel
down. The bearer OF the Eagle" aftei
accepting one dollar, went back to the hal
and insisted on the full price. He was thel
offered dollar and hall, next dollar AM
three,ouarters, and at last ne did get tw,
dollars.
And this is how Democrats hope to con
vert colored Republicans to the support o
Seymour.

Shannon, and at once became very attentive
to her. He told her of his acquaintance
with her husband, spoke in highly compile
mcutary terms of his character and public
career, aud expressed his unbounded admira-
ton of the man. The lady was charmed and
begged several times to know the name of
her new found friend. Corwin found means
TO avoid answering that question. The lady
overlooked this evasion, and told Corwin in

it the Young Governor" and carrying the
heart of the mother by storm. At length
the lady reached her destination and told
Corwin so with sigh of regret. The gal

arms and carried it into the house. He saw
the lady in her parlor and laid the infant fiat
on its back i'll her lap. Holding it there for

and before Mrs Shannon could recover from
her astonshment he was gone. He did lay
the old Governor fiat on his back, but the lat
ter returned the compliment two years later.
