From the WinonG Republican, April 20.
A steamboat captain who came up the river
from st. Louis the other day stopped his craft at
the spot where formerly existed La Crosse,
which he distinguished by the appear
ance of the fourth story of the railroad
elevator just above the surface of the water.
Failing to find any signs of life he let loose a
dove, after the example of Noah during the

the water had commenced 10 subside. Whether
the inhabitants of that unfortunate city have
retired to the mountains, or whether they have
all found a watery grave, the navigator of the
Mississippi was totally unable to ascertain, and
his cargo was therefore brought up to this city
and discharged, for the benefit of the survivors
of our unfortunate sister city, if any such there
may prove to be.

Permission Refused Great Britain to March
Troops Through American Territory.
Then. Y. Herald publishes the following highly
important, If true, despatch from WashingtOn:
have very high authority for the statement
that soon after it was determined by the British
authorities to send an expedition to the Winni-
peg country to suppress the rebellion there, Mr..
Minister Thornton limited to Secretary Fish that
it would be very desirable to have permission
to transport the Dominion troops over the
United States territory or waters into the theatre
of war. Secretary Fish very plainly indi-
Gated that the United States could not grant
such permission. Mr.. Thornton, feeling
this to be not at all encouraging or, perhaps,
not having in the first place contemplated
actually asking permission, dropped the subject,
and no reference am informed, has since been
made to it in the official communication be-
tween the parties. Secretary Fish, however,
as / am reliably informed, brought the matter
before the attention of the President and his
Cabinet at a regular Cabinet meeting that
occurred soon after. The propriety of allowing
British troops to pass over orr soil or through
our waters to the Red River country for the
purpose OF putting down rebellion was fully
discussed aud 1t was unanimously agreed that
such thing could not be permitted. Every
member of the Cabinet concurred in this view.
take 1t that this announcement of the status
of the administration on SO important a question
ought to silence the grumblings and growlings
of those people who have been declaring for
weeks past that the President and Secretary
Fish would cheerfully yield compliance to the
wishes OF the British authorities.

OBITUARY.
Ex-Judge Russell.

Between 10 and o'clock yesterday morning
ex-Judge Abram d. Russell dropped off his chair
at his residence No 124 Second avenue, New
York, and expired in few minutes. He had
just come from the theatre with his family and
was enjoying his usual cigar before retiring for
the night. Judge Russell was q native of South
Carolina, and was In his seventieth year. He
went to New York while yet quite young, in
company with his father, who had q high
standing in the community. After gradu-
ating he entered upon the study of law, and
having been admitted to the bar, practiced very
successfully up the year 1857, when he became a
favorite with the Tammany Society and was
elected City Judge, holding Office for four years.
He was succeeded by Judge McCunn, who sub
sequently resigned his Office and Judge Russell
was appointed to fill the vacancy on the 7th of
January 1864. In 1865 he was reelected, and
continued in Office up to the 31st of December
1869. He was candidate for reelection, but
failed to receive the nomination from Tammany.
Several years ago, when garroting was reduced
to science, Judge Russell made an example of
a young man brought before him for this
offense. He was charged with robbery in the
first degree, and was sentenced to the State
Prison for forty years. After few years the
Judge united in petition to the Governor for his
pardon.

BROWNLOW ON RECONSTRUCTION.

The Radical Orsnss % In ,T,5 Ts2nessee "DrnwInE 1t
Senator Brownlow has written q letter to the
editor of the Knoxville Chronicle (radical), from
which we make the following extract
Having now spoken of the good qualities of
your newspaper, l must say word of its bad
qualities. 1t is too mild in its tone and alto
gether too conciliatory, considering the party
with which you have to deal, and how violent
and hostile towards the loyal people that party
is. We have Governor Senter with us, and, as
/ am told, he has been before the Reconstruction
Committee of the House. His testimony is said
to have been strong against the Ku-KluX party
and altogether satisfactory to the Republicans
/ expect the committee of the House to report q
bill looking to the reconstruction of Tennessee.
We propose to wipe out the Legislature and the
late convention, and order an election of a new
Legislature under the old law, and with new
registration, leaving the executive and judiciary
undsturbed The bill will meet with opposi-
tion in the House from the Democracy and the
tender-footed Republicans, but will, neverthe-
less, pass.
In the Senate we will have less trouble, as we
are divided politically, sixty Republicans to ten
Democrats They will of course 90 on to elect
judges in Tennessee. What Governor Senter
will feel it his duty to do | am unable to say;
but if were Governor would refuse to com
mission their judges and other officers. That
party has made great noise over the increase
of the State debt by the issuance of bonds to paw
the five years interest they had repudiated by
the Rebellion, and bonds issued under
my administration to put our railroads in order
They call it the Brownlow despotism, extraya-
gance, and Bwindling. They promised to wipe
out radicalism and renew an era of prosperity.
What have they done? Are they building up
the towns and waste places? Are real estate
and rents advancing or falling off? Let the
mechanics and day laborers of Knoxville answer
the question.
The fifth month of the present session is pass
ing off rapidly, and am pleased to be able to

Mr.. Brooks IN. W said that he did not object to
the removal OF political disabilities
Mr.. Morgan-Yes, sir you do. You object inces-
sanity you have never lost opportunity object
know that you have taken the ground OF wanting
bill OF general amnesty, but nevertheless you have
OF disabilities from the Southern people.
Mr.. Brooks said It was well known that he had
been in the very front rank OF those who desired to
remove individual disabilities, but he found that
they were In the main removals for party purposes,
while those who belonged to the Democratic party
were refused removal OF their disabilities. He be-
lieVed that the hour had come for universal am
nesty. From what he had heard and saw In the
Southern negro Legislatures, he would rather trust
for amnesty to the Africans of the South than he
would TO the majority OF the House.
The whole object of his policy in opposing bills for
individual amnesty had been to awaken aud arouse
the attention OF the House to the injustice OF that
mode OF procedure to procure early action for the
removal OF all disabilities.
Mr.. Degener defended the Republican side OF the
House from the charge OF vindctiveness in the
matter OF pardons, and said that he had never re-
fused to endorse the petition OF gentlemen for par
don who chose to ask for IL over their own signature
There was special reason for the immediate pas
sage OF this bill The Governor OF Texas was TO be
elected to ONCE but could not qualify until their
disabilities were removed Some OF the persons

scended TO ask for pardon over their own sigma
