The Lurking Poison of the Plat
form of the EggIes4On A lcOrn Party.
From the Natchez Democrat.


The platform of principles is lengthy,
disconnected, ambiguous. It's leading
features are difficult to comprehend and
impossible to reconcile to the known senti-
timents of the leaders who prepared the
document.
While in one sentence it declares - for
universal suffrage and universal amnesty,
and that the enlightened spirit of the age
demands that the fossil remains of proscrip-
ton must be numbered with the things of
the past" in another sentence it declares in
favor of the removal of disabilities and re-
strictiOns only in the same measure as the
spirit of dislOyalty may die out, and as may
be consistent with the safety of the loyal
people. "-While the first declaration saVors
of the spirit of amity and peace avowed in
the preamble, the second is especially de-
signed to perpetrate the infamous falsehood
so persistently resorted to, that dislOyalty is
in the State, and that loyal people are not
safe within its borders. While the first con-
tains promise seemingly fair and ostensi
bly, sincere, the second, leaving as it does
wide and convenient opening through which
the monster Prescription may leap, full
armed with the cry of dislayalty upon its
lying lips, to plumber and Cypress the peo-
pie, betrays the clOven-fOot of Radiealism
in full and unmistakable proportions. While
the first is promise that tickles the ear, the
second is reservation that shocks the I'M
Outstanding.
Whatever of moderation the prescription
lists evince in this platform, is only the sugar
coating of pill which beneath an inviting
exterior contains deadly poison.

The New York Tribune ON tLe Vir-
Einia Election.
From the n. Y, Trib

We hope Congress will promptly and iOy-
fully encourage Virginia to resume, under
her organization just effected, that place in
er have relinquished. The late vote of her
people was the fullest ever given; there was
perfect order and quiet at her polls; and no
one was excluded who was entitled to cast a
ballot. Her free Republican constitution,
with all prescriptions and acknowledgements
stricken out, has been ratified by the largest
majority ever given for any constitution of
any State; and we should esteem it a grave
public misfortune that such an overture
should be repealed.
''Then you would have the mem ers elect
to the new Legislature admitted to their
seats without taking the iron-clad oath ?"
Most certainly. This has been allowed in
other State; why not in Virginia? Every
one should take the oath of fidelity to the
government and constitution, but not be re-
quired to swear that he nerer gave aid or
comfort to the rebellion. 1t seems to us
strained construction of existing laws which
requires this.
So it seems that the n. Y. Tribune I'M
like our neighbor of the Pilot, does not
regard to 'fthe election of Walker as the
''greatest calamity that could befall the
people of Virginia" Nor does it approve
his ruling that members of the new Leg
islature should be required to take the
iron-clad oath.

The backbone Railroad.

This road, which is to unite the Jackson
Road at about Ponchatoula with Vicksburg,
running through the parishes OF st. Helena
and Tangipahoa, Louisiana, and the counties
of Amite, Franklin, jefferson, Claiborne and
Warren, in Mississippi, will prove one OF
the most useful and profitable of the South
ern roads.
1t will be a more profitable local road than
any other which could be built, or has been,
hitherto. Not even the road from here TO
Mobile can equal it, because this viii have
water competition, and viii for local uses be
not much used ia the winter time, while the
road through those rich uplands Of Missis-
sippi and the better part of the Florida
parishes of Louisiana viii be used the whole
year round.
1t is proposed to build the road in eoniunc-
ton with one to Baton Rouge. If this Is
done it will better begin at POnehatoula
than higher up, as Ponchatoula is nearly on
a line east and west from Baton Rouge, and
a due north course can be taken on the ridge
between the Amite and the Tickfaw, which
viii traverse very fertile esion all the way
through.
This will cause very considerable defiee-
ton from a right line in going TO the point
where the Vicksburg road will part from
that to Baton Rouge, but from that point il
will be straight and the road to the latter
place will be a. direct from the point of de-
Darture.

In the shocking story of cruelty and
torture at the Dry Tortugas, related by
Spangler, occurs the following narrowing
story of the suferings and death of Col.
st. George Leger Grenfel:
Colonel St. George Leger Grenfel,
aged So years, was taken sick and went
TO the doctor to get excused from work.
The doctor declined to excuse him. He
then applied TO the Provost-Marshal, who
said he could not excuse him if the doctor
couldn't. Grenfel then tried TO work and
failed. They then took him TO the guard
house, tied him up for half day, and
then took him to the wharf, tied his hands
behind him, tied his legs together, and
put rope around his waist. There were
three officers, heavily armed, who drove
spectators from the wharf; / could sec
and hear fom my window. The Colonel
asked them if they were going to throw
him into the water, and they answered
eyes" He then jumped in, and be
cause he could not sink, they drew him
out and tied about forty pounds of iron
to his legs, and threw him into the water
again, and after he had sunk twice they
pulled him out again, and then compelled
him to go to work. The officers who had
him in hand, were Lieutenant Robinson,
Lieutenant Pike, and Captain George w.
Crabb, assisted by Sergeant Michael
Gleason, and assistant military stock-keep-
er @. I. jackson, who tied the iron on
his legs. Captain Samuel PEBBLES tied
up Grenfel for saying that she was ca
pable Of doing anything" Col. Grenfel
was forced to scrub and do other mental
work when he proved he was so i'll as TO
have refused to eat his rations for week.
All of the officers hated Grenfel on ac-
count of letter which appeared in a
New York paper, which they said Gren-
fel wrote, about tying up the prisoner
Dunn-which letter was truthful, as 9TH
ers and myself were witnesses to the de-
tails it related. One very stormy night
Grenfel, with four others, escaped in a
small boat and was evidently drowned
near the fort. His escape was discovered,
but the storm was so severe that it was
deemed too dangerous TO pursue them,
although q steamer was at the wharf
Grenfel frequently declared his intention
of running any risk to escape, rather than,
to use his own words, "be tortured TO
death at the fort"
