An Exciting Scene.
A Father Teaches His Boy Lesson
a3d Nearly browns him
[From the MiIwaukee wleeonsIn.l

From the Milwaukee Wlsconsin.l
Last evening about FIVE o'clock, an
exciting scene was witnessed near the
entrance to the harbor. A father had
often forbidden his boy, about nine
years of age, from going upon the
dock, fearful that his son would by
accident, be drowned. Last evening
upon returning home he found that
the boy had disobeyed his order, and
was playing with other children near
the rivers edge. The father hasten
ed to the spot, and somewhat excited,
grasped the boy by the shoulder and
despite his cries, tied the end of a
rope about his waist and soused him
iu the cold water. As he was draw
ing the boy up the rope was loosened,
and the little fellow. still struggling
to get the water from his mouth, fell
back and sank. The excitement of
the father was now most earnest. He
fairly yelled in agony, and would
have jumped into the river himself,
bad not bystanders anticipated his
intentions and prevented. The boy
came to the surface once and sank
again, came up and was about to sink
for the last time when a brave sailor
jumped from the dock and caught
him by the hair. When the boy was
taken out he was to all Appearances
liieless, but the father clasped the
inanimate form in his arms hugged it
close to his breast and kissed the wet
lips over and over again, while the
tears fairly flowed in streams down
the mans cheeks, and his sobs could
be heard by all. Carrying the boy,
and bestowing endearing caresses as
he went along to the nearest house,
theslittle fellow was soon brought to
his senses, and the delight of the
parent knew no bounds. He kissed
aud embraced the boy and the sailor
aud the physician over and over again,
and when the boy was able, to walk
still carried him in his arms to his
home, alternately crying and laugh
ing, SO great was his Joy. The father
received lesson in the way of pun
ishing his children that ne will never
forget and the boy will no doubt mind
the advice given him by those in
authority.

Proposed Celebration by the
CeI0reGz People
Proceedings of COlOred Meeting.

At meeting of the colored people
of this city, held for the purpose of
arranging the preliminaries of a eelo.
bration to come off after the off
cial announcement OF the Fifteenth
Amendment as a law, the following
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The progress of liberty,
guided by an all wise Providence, and
urged on by the true Republicans of
the Republican party. has succeeded
9cing within our grasp that ines
.mable American priyilege-the bal
lot; therefore
Rcs0lUed, That while praising the
Great Giver Of all good, we are not
unmindful of the debt of graft
tude we owe TO the immediate au-
thors of our blessings-the Repub-
lican party-and that we will not
prove recreants to the confidence re-
posed In US.
Resotred, That we approve Of the
wise and economic measures OF the
present administration. which, If sus-
tanned, Will enable it to considerably
reduce our enormous debt, contracted
when IN sore need, and at which time
the obligation to pay was given in
full faith and credit, and therefore
does not permit of reputation with
out sacrificing that confidence which
is so eninently necessary to the per-
petuity ef Republican Government.
Res0tyed, That we adopt such por-
tions of the resolutions of the Van
derburgh County Republican Con-
vention as relate to local politics.
HesolUed, That ten days after the
official announcement of the fact that
the Fifteenth amendment is a part of
the Constitution of the United States,
we will celebrate the final removal of
the niger from politics In an ap-
propriate manner. 70 which celebra-
ton we extend an invitation to all
whose past history will not render
participation inconsistent.

Enect or the Legal Tender Decislen.
The first fruits of the recent legal ten
der decision have just been garnered.
A New York telegram says that: In
40 action for the foreclosure Of mort
gage, executed in 1857, tried to day in
the Supreme Courtin Brooklyn, Judge
Pratt decided that, In accordance
with the decision of Chief Justice
Chase, both principal and interest
must be paid In gold" There wes, of
course, no escape from this conclusion,
so far as concerns the principal. Tho
other point is ambiguous. Did the
Court hold that the interest money re-
ceived in legal tenders from time to
time, as a fall satisfaction of the usu-
ry claim, was not full satisfaction
and the MORTGAGE can now demand a
readjustment on a gold basis? If so,
and the same view is to be taken of
this case by the courts generally, then
there will be no end of litigation, and
past transactions will be involved in
ruinous chaos,
There could hardly be a more ap-
palling disaster than to have such a
construction put upon the matter. If
mortgages are interpreted In the way

Some ante-war debts have not only

OF their existence has been destroyed !;

both parties to have been met will be

vail, and the most serious financial
consequences might follow.
By regarding by-gOnes as by-g0nes,
all payments hitherto made as bona
JGde to the full extent contemplated
by both parties, all this would be av-
oided. Equity and law unite In de-
manding it. Such would seem to be
the intention CT the Supreme Court
of the United States. If the Chief
Justice intended 20 undo all that be
wrought as Secretary Of the Treasury,
and has, with the assistance of bis as
sociates. actually done it, he ought to
be impeached and deposed. But by
taking the ground that the decision is
not retroactive but simply declares
what shall hereafter be the interpreta-
ton of the legal tender act, debators
will have no cause Of complaint.
