70 The caucus of negroes, carpet
baggers and other thieves--a few de-
cent but misguided citizens lent ii
their countenance, we believe
which, under the name of the Louis
lana Legislature, has been for some
months engaged in Matching delive-
ry in New Orleans, adjourned two or
three days ago. The schemes of
public robbery authorized by these
rapscallions are of amazing proper
tions-covering, in the the aggregate,
not less than $13,000,000. Persons
negotiating the State bonds issued
under this wholesale system of rob
berry should be fairly warned that the
chances are hundred to one against
the payment of a single dollar of the
bogus debt. The time must come,
and that speedily, when the people OF
the State will resume control of THEN
own affairs, and hunt the Whole
horde Of loyal and rapacious robbers
into the penitentiary or out of the
State. A continuance Of the Radical
regime is simply impossible, for it
would, in another year or two, ut
terIy disprganize all business and so
cial institutions Gin. Enquirer 22d

TERRIFIC NITRO GLyCERINE ExPLO-
sIoN.-W,.ile some of the men of Scla-
fer's nit,o-gly cerine factory, on the
Hackensack River, near Ridgefield, n.
j., were engaged in removing II guam
tity of the explosive material to sloop
for transportation, one of them lost his
hold of the bag he was carrying, it IL
and exploded. The conclusion imme-
diately caused second and terrific ex-
plnsion, involving the bulk of the ma
lerlal in the factory. and tearing the
building to atoms The consequences
were terrible, The building lay mass
OF ruins, scattered for rods around
Raftcrs. broken in pieces, were scatter
ed everywhere. The boiler, broken in
some places and indented in others,
lay many feet from the spot where it
had once stood. Nothing but the CHM
ney OF the factory remained intact
The explosion was heard for miles
around, and its force broke the win
dows of houses mile distant upon the
neighboring hills. Most of the hands
being absent at the time, but four lives
were lost. Tie bodies Of those unfor-
tunate men were torn limb from limb
and scattered like the mason work, all
over the vicinity. High up in the air
one was thrown, and it descended into
tie river. The leg of one man was
found 200 feet distant from the scene
of the catastrophe Many of those
who were not killed were more or less
injured.

letters, that General Ames was not
an inhabitant of the State of AIissis-
sippi ct the time of his election to the
United States Senate but that not
withstanding the report of the Com
mittee he will be permitted to take
his seat. Should he be rejected he
will be sent back by the Legislature
of Mississippi so that it matters little
SO far as the result will be whether
he is rejected or not, and as for law,
precedent, or right they go for naught
when the interests or convenience of
Radicalism are concerned. The trou=
BILE, in r chmond between the rival
Mayors is creating considerable ex-
element here. The letter of Gov.
Walker in which he says that as chief
executive of the State he will see it's
laws faithfully executed and when the
power of the State is inadequate he
will call in the aid of the United
States and in which he condemns
the interference of General CANDY in
a local trouble is very generally con-
conceded to be correct except by the
most extreme Radicals, and is used
by those who are instrumental in get
ting Up reports about ku-klux trou-
bles lii order to influence the action
of the Senate in the Georgia case.
The colored delegation who are ex-.
tremely anxious about affairs in their
State, as it is matter of bread and
butter, are growing somewhat anx-
ious over the present aspect of affairs.
But the probability is, even if the
terms of the present incumbents in
the Georgia Legislature are not ex-
tended there will such amendments
added to the bill as will effectually
seal the State to Radicalism and set
a precedent for the Tennessee Job
which will follow in the wake of
Georgia. The work of this week on
the various bills to be acted on will
be black page in Legislative diabol-
ism.

Women Judges in Wyoming Ter
ritory.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette writes from Wyoming Terri
tory:
"Wyoming Territory is governed
by j. A. Campbell, late of Ohio, ant
it is in this Territory that woma,
suffrage reigns in all its glory
There women sit or juries and adj
minister laws. The last grand Jury
drawn at Laramie. shows a clear n a.
jority of female names. A Short
time since the Governor appointed
several ladies justices of the peace
and they Lave entered upon the du.
ties oi their offices. One OF the new
justices is for the mining region al
South Pass City. The single miners
seem to ike their female judges, and
pay great respect to the court The
South Pass News gives this account
OF case recently tried before Mrs
Judge Morris
Much interest was manifested il
the trial held i'll our city on Wednes-
day last, not SO much from the impor.
lance of the case as from its novel
! character. 1t was a prosecution
against one of the officers of Carter
county, to recover Il fine provided by
the law making the new county OF
should fail to deliver over the records
of their Offices TO their successors.
The proceeding was commenced be-
fore Mrs L. Morris, the newly APP
pointed and qualified justice of the
peace, and much interest was mani
tested to witness judicial proceed
ing with woman for Judge. The
trial was held in the presence of a
crowded house, and it must be adj
mitted that, Ill the manner of hold
ing court our justice might well be
taken for an example in point of Dig
nifty and propriety of action and de
porlment. The case was dismissed
by Justice Morris, on the ground
that she, beng the successor of .he
accused herself, could not with pro
priety try the case, as being a party
interested. This, whether technical
ly correct or not shows deiicacy OF
feeling in regard to the rights OF
others very creditable to Ike head
and heart of our new official, and
which is eminently worthy of imita-
ton"
"There is one Of these Wyoming fe-
male judges who administers the po-
ilce affairs of a CERTAIN young city,
and who is said have caused great
commotion by the severity of her
Judgments on offenders. If You take
IL drop too much OF the 'crather,' up
you go for the full extent of the law,
and no amount OF pleading or prom
ises will soften the judicial heart.
Then If weak sister is caught,
there is an end OF her SHINING, for
she is locked up hard and fast and
kept in durance vile until she is ready
to migrate to other lands where no
female judges are"

FRIpAY.-The general prevalenceef
tie superstition as to Friday has LATELY
received curious confirmation. y
Minarl, French authority, states til
Friday in France is considered an ~
lucky day, the number of trayeleu
being smaller on that day even -
omnibus traffic, and the English Regis-
trar General in his last report says;
"Seamen will not sail, women will nos
wed, on a Friday, SO willingly as on
other days of the week -.
Out of 4,057 marriages in the MD
land districts of England, not per
cent. were celebrated on Friday, WINS
80 per cent. were entered into on Sun.
day. The next day in fayors was MO-
day with 81 per cent. then Sate',s ~
with II per cent. Per contra
Watson, the City Chamberlain
Glasgow, in his last statistical repol.
says, at is a well established fact tnss
nine tenths Of the marriages in I'm
gov are celebrated on Friday Only :
few on Tuesday and "Wednesday
Saturday and Monday are stiii nor.
rarely adopted, aud never heard Of
marriage on Sunday in Glasgow"
So that, in Scotland, Friday is tae
lucky day of the week, at least LOT
In this country few PEG.
pie pay attention to the superstifion
which marks Friday az an unlnckJ

blow fell. One hundred and seventh.
three in,Iiahs were killed, thirty horses

The enormity of this Indian massacre
is best shown by the facts which Gen.
Sheridan snpposes. The facts Of he
massacre, as reported to Congress- On.

The result of the expedition against
the Indians is thus officially stated in
communication to Gen. Sully, dattd
Helena. Montana, February 6, 1870:
"Of the I73 killed SO were men. OF
those Is only were such as are called
by them Young or fighting men. These
were between the ages of IL and 81.
The remaining 10 were between the
ages of 81 aud 20, eight of the latter
between 60 and 20. Ninety were NO
men, and the remaining so were chi
dren. none Of them aged l2, and many
Of them in their mothers arms. Outof
2l9 Indians belonging to Red Horns
camp, only 40 survived. AMONG them
are nine young men who escaped dur.
ing the attack, and FIVE were away
hunting. The lives of l8 women and
10 children, Done of them more than
three years Of age, and the majority Of
them much younger, some of whom
were wounded, were spared by the sol'
diers. Red Horn himself was killed.
AT the time Of the attack this camp was

he Kept Butler-like distance from rebel

ground that his legs were so full of bullets
that he could not stand long enough to GO

war record has reached California and the

did really get any bullets during the war.
they would interfere more with his sitting
