4 Pitcher. Of Rebel H;.s..

Thus far half Il hundred thousand
dollars have been spent in behalf Of
the ku-kluN invest iGltiun, and not n
conclusive fact been arrived nj, except
to show that the commission itself was
4 needless farce tn commence with, and
can only assume moro i:lrrical proper
tons rs it proceeds. We insisted nj
the outset that iii" only proper way to
arrive ut the infnrmstion desired,
granting That ii WAS at all desirable,
was to send out the Congressional COM
mittccs on an itincratin% journey South
to see for themselves and learn what
they might by personal inquiry of the
distracted condition Of affairs in that
section.
The experiment WAS finally tried, TO
be sure, with Job Stevenson, of Ohio,
and he has had Il pitcher of milk
thrown over him at HorlSvillr, South
Carolina, which, especially if it was
sour milk, will go far to show how the
Southern people have cur,tlcd on IN
African administration. But isn't this
just what we wanted to know: How
long might Job Stevenson, of Ohio,
have stayed III Washington ut the
rooms of the committee, and never
seen 4 drop Of milk, unless he has :,
weakness for milll-punch:
This little incident, which is related
on the authority of Il private, mcon-
tirmed dispatch received at WuShing-
ton, sustains just the view we have
taken. ii shows that the invest 4atiOn ),
carried on, us it has been, nj the FEEDER
al capital, amounts to nothing. II can
summon witnesses to suit every phase
of the question, and each one balance
the prcEaricatiOnS OF the other With
his own. What was wanted and what
Mr.. Job Stevenson has made I; martyr
Of himself in inauguratinG, was to put
the committee in motion, order it at
once to the front, send il down among
the cotton fields and rico :sWaml,S and
canebraEcss to learn the truth from first
sources. Sec what the result has been
| in his case. This is indeed the most
important fact elected ia .tbc entire in
VcStigatiOn; and whereas, al! that has
been previously done is said To- have
cost forty thousand dollars, ii is prOba-
BILE that Mr.. stevenson experience of
rebel milk viii inycly" little more han
the price Of a hotel supper With the
mill, thrown in.
BY all means, then, let ih" commit
tee be started SOutllWari. IT Is of the
very first Importance to ascertain
whether this EorlSViIl" n,iIi<-piich"r i
Il fair representative of Southern &rnti-
mont, or whether the Southern cocoa
nut generally n"rdi crack ing to ttt out
the disloyal nill; th;t i III il II.

Terrific Steam boat Explosions.

The Staten Island ferry-boat, West
field, exploded i'm East River, New
York, last Sunday, with most dcplora-
BILE results. A dispatch Of the 18th,
says the number Of dead, recovered,
amounts to 70, wounded 1872, Of whom
two-thirds will die! The scene of the
explosion is this described:
The Westtield was leaving the slip
at the foot of Whitehall street when
she exploded. There were about three
hundred usual Sunday excursionists
aboard. A yawning abyss extended
from abaft the engine room to the
stern. The deck seemed to have
opened, and the dead and dying lay in
every direction among the timbers,
splinters and heavy machinery.
| The whole upper works were shiv-
cred into a thousand pieces. Many
were blown into the water and hauled
out by the boatmen with hooks. a
large party are dragging the bottom
of the river and constantly bringing
up bodies. Men, women and children
are brought in scorched, bruised and
mutilated. Col. Waurchie, formerly
partner Of Garibaldi, was badly scald
ed.
| One man, John Mayer, the pilot, was
thrown from the forward pilot house
twenty feet into the air, falling on the
boat, and escaping without a scratch
The boiler was inspected by John
X. Mathews, United States Boiler In.
spector, on the 18th June, and pro.
nounced safe.
Henry Robinson, engineer of the
Westfield, stated that he tried the cocks
in the boiler few moments before tho
explosion, and found water at the up
per cock. He states further that al
that time he looked at the steam gauge,
and noticed that there We're twenty

seven pounds Of steam on her boiler;
the safety valves, showing that the boil
er was carrying the fun extent allowed
by the certificate. lie further states
that the boiler was repaired last winter.
Ihe caus" of the explosion was prob
ABBY the breaking Of the joints of the
plate wires with which the boiler had
been patched.
IN" first bell had Just rung when the
explosion was heard. The scene of
confusion and horror which resulted
battles desert ptiOn. The boiler burst,
carrying away iii" whole part of the
boat in front of the steam pipe, and
scattering the debris on all sides. Men,
women, children, horses, wagons,
boards and clqir5 We're hurled in tn"
air. Nothing escaped that WAS on the
forward portion OF the boat.
The passengers IN the rear rushed Tor
the entrance en na-;>r, hui very few
escaped without some injuries. The
scene was irightiul and many tainted
away from fear. Bodies, debris and
portions of tll,s wreck fell among the
passengers, and increased the ronf,l-
sion. Many people fell in tn" river,
and unable Ia hclp themselves, We're
drowned.
Boiling water WAS scattered in ali ii-
rectionS, scalGing those who where I'M
able to get out OF its reach. The wind
was blowing inward at the tinr, and
forced water on the part OF the boat
near the dock, where the :.rr:'srr pow
ton of the passengers had fed.

NJ. w. Stamper, will open the canvass
in behalf of Il railroad from Trenton,
to Fulton, Ark, on next Monday, at
louisville. They will travel thence
by easy stages, addressing and ming.
ling with the people, to Fulton, and
return, continuing the canvass, by Il
route not Immediately on the proposed
line. These gentlemen engage in this
project unaided by any public bounty,
believing that the enterprise is worthy
of their best efforts and that its sue
cessful achievement is dependent alone
| upon the will and foresight Of the peo-
pie Interested. They are not the men
to "put up a job,' or to engage in an
undertaking which has not solid mer-
its. 1t is for the people so deeply in
terested in their success, to consider
we'll the numerous advantages and
benefits a railroad will confer upon
them, and to extend to these gentle
men a hearty support and liberal en-
enlargement. With this character Of
aid, we are perfectly sanguine that the
Trenton and Fulton railroad will he
built.
Col. Hill, upon whom will devolve
the task Of addressing the people, has
patiently investigated his subject, and
will, we doubt not, impress his hear
ers E,vorably with the objects of his
mission. He is an interesting and
pleasing public speaker, and has, in
this matter, fortified himself we'll with
an abundance Of facts, logic and sta
tistics, an exposition of which, spiced
with the Colonel's neVer-failing hui
NOR, will afford an entertaining intel
lectual feast for an auditory.
We wish the canvassing party a
pleasant and Il profitable trip, and be-
speak for it the cordial cooperation of
the friends Of the TELEGRAPH. The
Trenton 4 Fulton railroad, we are
satisfied, would prove of immense ben
eft to the entire country along the
route, and we propose that the series
of meetings be concluded with a grand
meeting at Monroe.

Warmoth Triumphant.

The Republicans of this parish,
ninety-eight hundredths of whom are
freedmen, have pronounced in favor OF
Warmoth, (white,) in the struggle be-
tween him and Dunn, one of their
color who is manfully fighting their
cause against the carpet -haggers aud
scalawags who want to keep all the
places of profit and trust. What spe-
cies of gratitude is this: We care not
who the negroes of this parish support,
whether WarmOth or Dunn, but their
declared preference for Warmoth only
confirms what the Democrats have Of
ten said, that they are the duprS and
tools of the carpet-bagger and scala
Wag. And, moreover, they have no
stability. Last year they holted the
nomination of Il WarmOth candidate
for the Legislature, and elected two
boilers to that body; this year they
rush into Warmoth's embrace, even
while Dunn, their champion, is plead
ing for snccor and Offering to lead them
out Of their latest and most servile
Dunn will hardly be dis
posed to deny that he is the victim Of
the ingratitutle Of his own race and
color. He has been devOnre.l by the
political cannihalS of Ouachita, in their
crazy devotion to the Fetch god, Gov.
WarnlOth.

Cotton Worm.

}. H. Mitchell brings into our Office
this week, the real genuine caterpillar,
.aow in the second crop. He states
that the third crop will be on hand in
about thirty days, after which in three
days the crop will be taken.
We see the worm and feel bad about
it, and still we hope it may not be
true. Perhaps it is some new varmint
sent to annoy us and then depart. The
Lord he pleased to help US this one
time,
