+" Buried Alive

The Washington correspondent of the Cinciu
natl CommeTcisl referring to a reported prems
ture interment in New Orleans, says:
Now, it would be well TO let this pass rs a
warning 10 the thonehtess who hurry dead bodies
into their graves before positive assurance that
life is extinct. But the case is so horrible that it
is better to know the truth. The corpse had been
in}ased in an iron coftin-called casket-made air
tight. The consequence is that the gases ener.
ated by the decayiDg corpse produce the most
frghiul designation, and in some instances SILVER

under my immediate obseTvation-the death of a
fend, in the country, caused by accident, so
sudden and unexpected that few of the friends and
relatives could be called to the funeral within the
ordinary time Incident TO such occasions. An iron
coffin was procured, the body placed in il, and
he lid sealed and screwed down 10 the usual man.

those who watched the loved face through tears,
there soon appeared singular change; the veins
Of the forehead began to swell, and stood out
Ike cords. Then the face began TO SWELL and
soon the eyes partly opened and the lips fell
apart, giving 10 the face wraihful, hOrsided ex-
preston that was painful 10 look upon. These
cfaBges continued until the dead seemed to be
striving to breathe, and speak, and strange noises
were heard inside. Women shreked and tainted,
ard at last cloth was thrown over the glass, and
persons were forbid looking in. During the night
# the second day (if | remember correctly. an
explosion occprred, accompanied by the sound Of
troken glass, and it Was found that the plate, over
the face, was shiyered, and the room filed with
the most sickening stencil. The dead body was
horrible to look at. and it required no active

returned and struggle ensued.

the counterfeit condition that had beea mistaken
for death, while sealed up in one of these iron
cases. Such return must, of course, be SLOW, I'M

kilograms from Washington say that Gen
Grant has expressed himself in favor of the
new Mississippi swindle The object of this
fraud is to establish a carpet-bag and scala
wag government in Mississippi, by simple
congressional MISUNDERSTANDING the bare
faced lie that the rejected Constitution was
adopted. As this seems to be the logical out
come of the reconstruction business, what was
the necessity for going through the farcical
makings, and elections? General Grant says
that be wants this question settled before he
takes possession of the presidential Office. 1t
is not strange that he wants to keep his hands
out of such filthy mess.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-01-21

About one of the saddest signs of the times
is the arrogant pretensions which the domi-
nant party assume toward the people of the
country; and the degrading servility which
they exhibit toward General Grant. Syco-
phantic correspondents, and toadying Journal
lists are now busiy engaged in reporting Gen.
Grants opinion on this question, and surmis-
ing his wishes on that, as if his opinion and
his wishes were heneeforth, to be the law for
his party and the country. These political
charlatans, who clamored SO loudly about the
so-called usurpations of President Johnson,
which were really only an attempted defense
of popular rights and constitutional liberty,
are now ready. to recognize an irresponsible
despotism in the person of the new President.

TIE CITY CHARTER.

The new city charter as introduced by the
legislative committee yesterday, is, we be-
lieve, identical, with some unimportant
exceptions, with the measure contrived and
proposed by the Association of Owners of
Real Estate. If this remarkable concurrence
of opinion and desire means anything, it must
mean that the two parties to this strange and
seemingly homogeneous agreement have come
to a mutual understanding, involving mutual
advantage. Are the people of New Orleans
ready to ratify such an agreement-are they
ready to be made the instruments of an al
lance, the political benefits of which are to
accrue to the corrupt and unprincipled fac
ton of adventures who have usurped control
of the State government, and the remaining
benefits to class ofpersons who are attempt
ing, through this scheme, to usurp the gov
eminent of the city? We lay down this pro-
position broadly now, in order to
direct the attention of the people of
New Orleans to the attempt which
is made to sacrifice their right of local self
government involved in the police admins
tration to the demands Of the carpet-baggers,
in order that their remaining rights may be
subjected to the control of the class which
assumes the right of contriving an instru-
ment of municipal government for this city,
involving a total change of the well estab-
hshed principles on which all effective NUM-
cipal governments are constructed, aud Of
forcing j. upon the people by the aid of
Legislature which is justly regarded as body
of usurpers. We repeat that the scheme is
fraught with danger to the liberty Of the peo-
Pile; that it is the plan of the carpet-baggers
to suffocate the opposition of the public to
the Ubiquitous metropolitan police system by
an alliance with class Of persons who set
themselves up to represent the views and
wishes Of the public, but whose project would
have the effect of converting the city govern
ment either into an oligarchy of real estate
owners, or a ring of the most corrupt and
venal of venal and corrupt politicians. We
have not time or space this morning to exhibit
the grounds on which we make this statement,
but we are ready to prove its correctness by
an analysis of the projected charter. Let
that charter be published, and let its dis
tinctive features be pointed out to the people,
and we venture to say that it will be rejected
by an indignant public sentiment. As we
have said, we do not rest upon a mere asser-
ton in regard to this matter-on the con-
trary, we propose to make it plain before we
dismiss the subject from the columns of the
CRESCENT that the plan of the proposed instru-
ment is the worst that could possibly be pro-
posed that it is made in the interest of par
ticular class that it offers enormous facilities
for corruption and that it affords no sort of
guarantee against the evils of which its authors
complain under the actual administration.

When shall we have some light thrown on
the question of the disposal of the proceeds
of the six per cent. levee bonds? Is Gov
Warmoth going to respond to the polite re-
quest of the House for information, or is he
too busily occupied in making arrangements
with the small circle of property-holding oil
garchs who are treating with the carpet-bag-
gers for a sale of the local rights and privi-
leges of the people of New Orleans? If Gov.
Warmoth can spare little time from this in
teresting negotiation we should like to hear
from him.

There is good deal now said, at the North,
about wooden car wheels as a substitute for
iron. The Hudson River Company have
placed twelve of these wheels on their draw
ing-room car. These wheels cost treble the
price of the ordinary cast iron wheels, but it is
said that they possess advantages more than
coHnterbalancing the enhanced expense-that
they move smoothly, and make conversation,
reading, and even writing in the cars not only
possible but easy. They are made of tho
roughly seasoned elm, or teak, with steel tires

ever occurred TO one of them, and that through

by reason of their elasticity and durability,

while the average use of the ordinary iron
wheel is but fifty thousand miles, after which
it is necess ary to break it up.
1t is also asserted that this wheel is 50 con-

is much less than by the cast wheel, which of
itself would make an important saving

GRANTS SPEECH TO THE CoLoRED MEN.-
The speech of Gen. Grant to the committee of
the colored national convention is not calcu-
lated to send G glow of triumphant exhilara-
ton through the hearts of those colored peo-
pie who INDUCED the fancy that his election
was the signal for the political apotheosis of
their race. No political writer in the CREs-
CENT within the past three years has addressed
anything to the Southern freedmen about
their rights and duties, that was net every bit
as consolitary and encouraging in its tenor as
this speech of Gen. Grant We have hoped,
and we still hope, in common with him. that
they may 'Teceive every protection which the
law gives them" We have held, as he holds
that their fitness to possess all the priv
ileges which they have claimed, is not a
thing to be taken upon mere dogma, but to
be demonstrated by their future conduct
Weare perfectly willing, and the white peo-
pie in the South are willing, to abide by this
test. If Gen. Grant and his political sup
porters will do the same, with candor, intelli-
gence and consistency, few agitators and
yet unfed carpet-baggers, and their handful
of colOred coadjutators and dupes, may be
disappointed, but the result will be all the
better for the mass of the freedmen, for the
South, and for the whole country.

ABANDONED WOMEN AND MEN.-In some
part of that statutory wilderness the projected
new charter for New Orleans, it is provided
that one of the departments-it is inmate
rial which-shall look after, in an especial
manner, the abandoned women of the city.
4 particular section of the city, it would
seem, is to be set apart for these sinful
and .unwholesome beings They are to be
licensed to sin and infect in that quarter, and
no other. But we look in vain for any pro-
vision of similar effect in relation to aban-
doned men. 1t would seem that there is to
be no fixed limit to their sin and infection
that their depravity, as liberal as the wind, is
TO have unbounded scope from center to the
whole circumference. Fie ON it your excel
lencies of the meditated oligarchy. Is there
no virtue and decency extant, even in your
select and exquisite circle? Or do you ex-
pect the impeccable metropolitans whom you
propose to take in as partners IN cOmmsndam
to keep sharp look after abandoned men,
while you bend your giant intellects, and your
capacious moral faculties, and your abound
ing manly energies to keeping the abandoned
women within allotted bounds?
