was formally opposed by the Empress.

received by the Count De Palihao, as
long as the latter remained minister Of

United States Court-Western District

The Little Rock State Journal has the
following complimentary, and we believe
generally deserved notice of the new
Judge Judge and Marshal:
We have noted with high degree of
pleasure the press reports from Fort
Smith, respecting the proceedings of the
first term Of the United States Court held
In that young city. 1t is not only the
opening term for that locality, but also
for His Honor Judge Story, and for the
chief officer Of the Court, Col. Roots, the
recently appointed Marshal.
Those most fully acquainted with these
gentlemen had most confidence in their
complete success in their new positions
But from the published reports we OBJ
serve it is plain that they have far sur
passed in efficiency the most sanguine ex-
pectations of their friends. Indeed,
there would seem to be little or nothing
more to be desired The efficiency and
business accuracy of the Marshal, the
promptness, impartiality and fidelity of
the Court, are matters of constant re-
mark. Detracting nothing from those
who have preceded them, the bar, the lit
igants and the community at large seem
to concur in expressions of entire salts
faction with the uew administration.
In this we rejoice. Judge Story and
Col Roots are young men Of education,
industry, good moral character, and of
great promise to the State. Though
quite young, the one has served for four
or five years on the Bench as Circuit
Judge, and the other two terms in the
U. s. Congress. They have constantly
justified the confidence reposed in them,
and will no doubt continue to do so in
their new and very important positions.
We extend, both to them and to the citi-
zens of the Western District, our warm
est congratulations and good wishes.

Bowen, the Bigamist. p
An Er- Congressman Sent to the Psnitsn-
tiary for Ico Years.
WASHINGTON. June l3.


Fred Douglass has resigned as mem
ber of the council Of the territorial legis-
lature.
This morning c. c. Bowen, recently
convicted of bigamy, was brought into
the criminal court to be sentenced. Mrs.
Susan Pettigrew King said: "If you
sentence him, sentence me too, for / am
as much to blame as he is." Bowen then
made statement concerning the circum.
stances of his marriage, before which
Mrs. King sent to New York and OBJ
tanned copy from the record Of his di-
vorce from his former wife. She, as well
as himself, was satisfied that everything
was right, and no legal obstruction was
in the way of their marriage. Judge
Oliver then sentenced Bowen to pay a
fine of two hundred and fifty dollars and
be imprisoned two years in the peniten-
tiary. Bowen, after pause, addressed
Mrs. King saying, that when his term ex
pired he would return to her, whereupon
Mrs. King extended to him her hand,
which he grasped as a pledge Of faith
She appeared to be deeply affected
Bowen was subsequently taken to Jail,
where he will remain until the decision
of the court at the term which meets next
Monday on exceptions to the ruling Of
the criminal court, his object being to
obtain new trial

III q, IL X. II. RAILRoAD.-Proceed
ings were instituted in the United States
District Court yesterday by Gallagher Il
Newton, attorneys for petitioners, to
force the Mississippi, Ouachita and Red
River railroad company into bankruptcy.
This is the road that Bowen was recently
running, and of whose bad management
under his auspices, we have so often had
occasion to mention. 1t is generally be-
lieved that under the management of
Bowen, the road has become utterly
bankrupt, and it is to be hoped that this
proceeding will have the effect of taking
the road out of the hands of its present
managers and putting it into the hands
of others who will build it. 1t is mag
nifcent enterprise, and it is to be much
regretted that its affairs have been so
wretchedly managed Gazette.

GALVESTON, June 13.

Another terrible storm struck this city
yesterday at 10 A. Nj and continued with
great fury until midnight, destroying tel
cgraphic and railroad communication,
and doing immense damage to the city
and shipping.
St, Patrick's church, just finished, was
blown down and is a total ruin. The
steamer Mollie Hambleton was sunk in
six feet of water and had her cabin and
chmneys blown off. The steamer Belle
of Texas lost her chimneys. The steam
lighter Emily, with nine hundred bales
of cotton on board, was sunk, and the
stern tug Superior also sunk A large
number of small crafts blown ashore will
probably be saved with but little damage.
