THE Soandinavians of Wisconsin,
who usually vote the Republican
ticket, are said to be dissatisfied With
the recent nominations of the party,
because their nationality is not repre-
sented on the ticket. 1t is one of the.
ominous signs of the times, that in
the formation of party tickets for
the various offices in the dlferent
States, birth place, and not qualifca-
ton or merit, have to be taken
into consideration. When party
has to nominate a man because
he was born in some particular
country in Europe, and not because
he possesses peculiar qualifications
for the position to which he aspires,
the seeds of disintegration have
already been planted. And when the
same rule is applied to all parties by
the different nationalities repressn snted
in our country, the unity Of the Gov
ernment is greatly endangered. Men
should be nominated by all parties
because they are Americans in prin-
ciple. If not in birth, aud because they
will stand by and defend the in
stitutions which have conferred
upon them so many blessings.

SOME Of the Democratic papers are
engaged in the melancholy task Of fg
uring out Democratic gains in the
Maine aud Vermont elections. We
think California offers them far
more inviting field. The fear Of
making John Chinaman a voter in
that State-through the operation of
the Fifteenth Amendment-revolu-
tionized it completely, aud the Re
publican party was badly de-
feated. We regret that the Courier's
position in favor of Chinese suffrage
prevented it from rejoicing over the
result Of the election in California.
There only has its party achieved a
great victory, and it is pity that by
advocating the claims of the Chinese,
it should be deprived of the pleasure
of displaying a gorgeous rooster. with
mouth expanded and feathers spread.

INTERVENING CASE.
A Ten thousand Dollar Life Insu--
Rnce Policy Involved.

A Ten thousand Dollar Life InSu--
Rnce Policy Involved.
Some months ago gentleman named
Parham, who was then a member Of the
firm of Shelton, Parhan & Priyet, In
sured his life for the sum Of ten thousand
dollars, in favor OF his sister, 10 be paid
to her in case Of death. Mr.. Parham
drew the money to pay the first pre-
MUM, one hundred and twenty-five
dollars, from the funds OF the company
who were cotton brokers, doing business
on Front street. Shortly after taking
out the policy, and before renewal pre-
MUM was due, Mr.. Parham died.
The sister for whose benefit the policy
was taken. came forward and claimed
the insurance. The company were ready
to settle with her, but the surviving part
ners of her brother, Messrs. Shelton &
Privet, laid an injunction upon them,
forbidding them to pay the money to her.
The ground upon which this injunction
was obtained was, that Mr.. Parham's acN
count with the firm was Overdrawn, and
he was already in debt to them when he
drew the hundred and twenty-five dol
lars to pay the premium, and that he had
never made the sum good.
The case came up for hearing on
motion to dissolve the injunction, in the
Chancery Court yesterday, and after be-
ing ably argued by the counsel on both
sides, was decided in favor OF the lady,
the Chancellor dissolving the injunction,
but allowing Messrs. Shelton & Privet
one hundred and twenty five dollars and
interest on the same to date.-Nempbis

TWO CASEs IN POINT.

Col. Bob Byrd crossed the mountain IN
the perilous days of 81, organized the
First Regiment Of Tennessee troops and
with it, returned in triumph at the head
of Burnside's column. With his gallant
little band, at Kingston, he repulsed the
combined force of Wheeler'5 cavalry,
while Longstrcet was laundering at the
gates of Knoxville.
Maj. Dan Carpenter, with a few brave
men, perilled his life to burn the mill
within the Rebel Qualifications at Cumber-
land Gap, thus compelling its early sur
render-was afterwards captured neal
RogersvilIe, and lay for months in RebeI
prison, barely escaping with his life.
These two men-the former, late Col
lector, the latter, late Assessor of this
distlict-are too disloyal to hold office
under President Grant
Gen. Longstreet, whose campaign
through East Tennessee was the source
of more than half the woes Of the Union

Terrible Hall Storm la Little Rock
Great Destruction of Property.

Great Destruction of Property.
The Little Rock Gazette of the 10th
inst. says, of the great hail storm there
last Sunday night week:
About eight o'clock wind aud hail
broke forth in all fury OF maddened ele-
ments, carrying terror and dismay to
the hearts of the fair sex, and disturbing
the equanimity no little of the holder
lords of creation. For about an hour the
hail fell in such quantities as to cover
the ground as il with sheet Of snow;
breaking window panes and the wind raz
ing fences and tearing from their roots
many trees and shrubs that were not
firmly bound to mother earth. An in
cessant rain, interspersed with Occa-
sional hail and sleet, continued during
most Of the night, and yesterday morn
ing in many places the ground was
white with sleet.
The ravages of the storm were most
apparent on Markham street. Not
whole glass was left on the north side of
the Anthony House; the upper rooms Of
Bernay's Dodge's, Gibbs and Ackerman's
SIOICS NCIc all W uOlO pduC VI
glass. The same scene was to be met
with on every hand, where the windows
were not protected by outside blinds.
Every skylight and nearly every pane OF
glass in the windows of our office, was
broken; the glass coverings of hOto
houses were Tuthlessly shiVered to pieces,
and the leaves and buds of plants-which
III ,,,o;--ol fho Aaliao RI md ~
ton of fair hands-were torn from the
stems, and dashed to the ground with
fury.
Some of the haiIstones we're as large
as hens egg and the damage done to
property is more terrible than any that
has visited us for many years. There IS
scarcely house in the city which has
not sutfere more or less. The GLACIERS
hands were yesterday busy in repairing
the damages to windows, and they had
more to do than could be accomplished in
one day.
We learn that the body Of a colored
man, lifeless and cold in death, was
found early in the morning near the
arsenal grounds. No marks Of violence
We're detected on his person, and it was
/ supposed that he had been intoxicated
and, without shelter in the storm, had
frozen to death during the night.
| The town branch was on q regular
rampage, oyeriiOwing several houses in
its onward march. The floor of the
Anthony House livery stable was
covered two feet deep with water.
Other buildings were equally as badly
treated. The streets Of the city look as
clean and neat as new pin.

Debate and Vote in the House of Com

Debate and Vote in the House of Com
mons ON the Irish Church Question
LONDON, March 24-The debate OF
the bill for the disestablishment of The
Irish church was resumed in the House
Of Commons last night Mr. Spencer ii
Walpole, member from Cambridge Uni
versity, opposed the bill, and The
| ODonoghue, member from Tralee, made
fervid speech in ito favor Mr.. Gothern
Hardy followed. He said the strength
of the Liberals cause arose only from
the majOrities at the hustings-it rested
on no irmer basis. Mr.. Gladstone had
pledged himself and followers to the
destruction of all that was deemed most
sacred The destruction of the church
was urged by envious jealousy. The
speaker maintained that the church had
always fulfilled its mission.
MIR. Gladstone then rose to conclude
the debate. He reviewed the course of
the bill and the arguments which had
been made for and against it; declared
that new policy was necessary for Ire
land, and this was the frststep demanded
by the unanimous voice Of the majority
Mr.. Gladstone resumed his seat amid
dealenipg cheers, the and house divided.
On motion, the bill was read second
time, with the following result for the
motion, 36S; against the motion, $50;
majority for the government, lis. The
announcement of the result was greatly
cheered in the House. The cheers were
taken up by the people in the Hobbies,
and the news was thus conveyed to an
immense crowd outside the. House, who
joined in the applause with the widest
enthusiasm. The House at o'clock ad.
journed over the holidays to the first day

TIE CUBAN AND ST. DOMINGO AN
NEXATION PROJECT.

A correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce writes as fol-
lows in regard to the proposed Cuba and
st. Domingo annexation schemes now on
foot in Washington city
1t is now positively known, and have
it from prominent member of Congress
who is active in this business, that Gen.
Grant. is strongly in favor OF Immediate
annexation of both Cuba and Santa Dom,
lingo, whenever they shall desire it, and
it IS rumored that he would recognize
the belligerent rights of the insurgents
in Cuba at the present time. Mr.. An
genard, Baez's special envoy to this
country, has been in Washington for
some time. He is Frenchman. Bae7
has given him ample authority to make
full and free transfer of the republic
of Santa Domingo to the United
States. Mr.. Angensrd hopes that
Congress will accept the offer, and says
that, without Santa Domingo, within
whose territory is included the magni.
cent Bay Of SANTANA, the Island Of Cuba
| which he considers destined very soon
to become part Of the United States
loses half its importance He contends
that SANTANA Bay, with its fine adapta>
ton to the purpose Of a safe harbOr and
naval station, is point from which all
the islands in the caribbean Sea may be
commanded. Until the Secretary o
State shall be heard from, no action will
be taken by the committee upon the res
OIutions introduced in the House by Gen
Banks, but it is highly probable that botf
houses will, before the session ends, pass
a resolution authorizing the President tC
accept proposals and consummate th'
annexation Of either Of the islands tC
this government when it is clearly shown
that the offer is made upon the proper
authority, and in good faith.

In the case Of Frank P. Blair, Jr.,
plaintiffin error against Jno. P. Thcmp>
son ct. al, and Warren WoOdson, plains
tiff in error against the State of Missouri,
was argued in the Supreme Court to- day
by Montgomery Blair for the plaintiff in
error and by Senator Drake for the de-
PENDANT in error. The case involves the
constitdtionality Of the Missouri test
olth.
Montgomery Blair in the course of his
argument said Francis P. Blair, Jr., could
not take the oath that he had never re-
resorted to arms for the purpose of over
throwing the State government Of Mis-
souri,, because at the outbreak Of the
rebellion in October, 1860, he organized
a military force to protect the United
States arsenal at st. Louis, and after
wards organized four regiments and
rendered them TO the government with
which to operate against, and which cap
tured Camp Jackson.
The oath prescribed by the COnven.
ton of Missouri, is called the oath Of dis
loyalty, for it required q man to swear
be stood by the government Of his State,
which made war upon the United States. |
Senator Drake in his reply defended |
the State constitution, and argued that it |
is essential to protect the State from its |
enemies by excluding them from partici-
patiDg IN its government. None but |
qualified voters can exercise political /
power, and it is by and through the bal
OF that this power can be exercised
~ the people. The constitution
while it affirms that the 1
people are the only source of power. He
hen proceeded to show the necessity for
he amendment to the State constitution
equiring an oath Of loyalty.

"NObOdy Hurt" One Ku-KlnX
Captured and Sent TO
VickSburg.
All Quiet along the Tallahatchie.

We cleaned last night the meage
outlines of one of the most ferociou
and terrific affairs ofthe war-equa
if not surprising in its bloody de
tails, the celebrated fight so graph
cally described by " Maj. j. X
Klingman, commanding I'd Battal
lion, 1st Tenn. Reg. State Guards,
in his dispatch to Gen. Cooper, de
scribing the Eight" which tool
place at Humboldt last week
| (where they fought thirteen mortaI
hours,) and in their backerdin
an furriddin, tore up ten acres Of
ground, and there was ten rebels on
every single one of the State
(black) Guards, and one of the latter
got his thumb nearly chawed of
before he 'hollered huff" But TO
our story
A few days ago, negro, whose
name we could not learn, had a cit
izen of BatesYille arrested for beat
ing him. For this reason, so it is
said, the party's friend talked about
lynching the darkey, and Saturday
night last was set as the time for
this interesting ceremony to come
of. This was done, so it appears,
in secret conclave, but the matter
was nOised about and came to the
ears of the commandant of the post
at Pamela, Saturday afternoon, and
he Immediately started company
of troops to the scene of the i'm
pending conflict to protect the dar-
key. The military met with no ad-
venture or opposition in their march
until within about two miles of
Batesville. But here they were
startled, at turn of the road, by
the loud, sharp command, "haltn -
and the challenge, which rung out
on the midnight air and brought
every man cup standing" WHO
goes there ?"
Before anybody had time to an
swer, the moon, which had hid her
face a moment before under a
cloud, shOne out and disclosed q
company of mounted Ku-Klux, In
all their horrid paraphernalia, occu-
plying the road, in position, and
ready to dispute the way. Few and
short were the words of the party.
Each party was fixed for war, and
the dread tocsin sounded, and the
fOemen "mixed."
The fight was terrific and " cav
airy charges against infantry, and
% infantry charges against cavalry,
that are frightful to contemplate,
were made. How long the battle
lasted we know not, but our infor-
mant states that There were several
hundred shots fired.
All at once, something scared the
KuKlux, and they fied-incontinent-
ly and ingloriously fed, vamoosed,
izzled, and left the tield-all of
them, save one.
He was mounted on a mule, and
the mule would not fly. In vain the
savage KuKlux cussed and spurred
him; the mule obstinately stood
still, moving neither backward nor
and, at last left by his
companions. the KuKlux was sur
rounded and captured.
On tearing off his mask, he was
found to be q man named Jesse
Rhodes, who lives in the neighbol-
hood of Batesville. He was put in
irons Immediately, and on Sunday
was sent down to Vicksburg, where
he will no doubt have " short
shrift," under the determination of
Mr.. Grant to " let US have peace
