The YERaER CASE AGAIN.-The correspondent of
the St. Louis Times, under date of the 26tb, says,
the explosion of fifteen inch she'll could not have
produced greater CONSERVATION and dismay in the
Radical camp than did the ruling of the Supreme Court
in the Yerger case 1t knocks the reconstruction laws
all in heap. Radical Senators now here say that it
will result in setting aside the entire work of
strucon in the South. There is good deal of specu
ation to what action the President will take. Some
say that he will instruct General Ames to disregard the
writ of habeas corpus the ground that Mississippi
is under military rule and that the writ is not in opera
ton there. While the decision gives the Presdenteo
siderable uneasness, and not unexpected by him,
those best informed say that he will bow the decision
of the Court and Yerger to be delivered to the
civil authorities"

TONES BAroU.-Capt. Geo. Alban informs us that
if he is not troubled by high water of which there is
no prospect at present. he will have the dam at the
head of Tones bayou completed early in December.
The dam will be across the old channel of the river
just below the head of the cut-of-a labor more easy
of accomplishment than to throw the dam across the
bayou, and equally effectua as there is high dirt en-
bankment across the river below the bayou. This
work was done by the Confederate authorities to force
the gunboats to come through the cutoff and within
range of the battery purposed to be erected
1t is the opinion of some steamboatmen that this Ia
Dor of checking the tremendous volume of water flow
ing through Tones bayou has been too long delayed
to prevent the river finding its way through that bayou
Every one knows that the channel is through an ee-
waited ridge, as were-the back lands on both sides
being lower than those Immediately on the river Hence
argue these gentlemen, it will be extremely difficult,
if not impossible to keep the water on this ridge when
lower land is to be found by the water simply for the

PHILLIPS ON THE MINIsTRAToN.-W endell Philips,
the rampant Radical has been reviewing the late cleo
tons, and takes occasion to say some very naughty
things against the administration. He winds up as
follows:
Meanwhile the strength of the opposition vote shows
that the administration has not satisfied the country
It's friends have rallied and secured another year OF
grace The elections of 1870 will turn more directly
on the issue whether the Republican party has fuhleo
the national expectation In our opinion unless the
administration files better record during the coming
year than that of the past there will be an even srug
gle between it and its foe perhaps an ignomnous de-
feat By small majorities, after almost incredible
effort have just saved the two great States, Penn
syIvania and Ohio-any slight untoward accident even
would have lost them. 1t is poor dependence Tor
great party.
We have drfted thus far on the strength of our
Soldier Presidents reputation He and his cabinet
