FILLED TO OvERFLowING

The Radical traps and organs seem, &C
cording to the Enquirer of this morning,
to be ready-sprung and tuned for the rats
and mice of Democracy. 1t (the En-
Qu,rer) is full, brim-ful, shaken down, and
running over with Radical devices, and
seems fearful that the innocent, unsus pect-
ing ones of its faith may be entrapped and
securely bound, unless immediate measures
of relief are furnished.
1t proposes to find the remedy by ig-
noring the rights of everything and every
body, save and except those which belong
by inheritance to the intriguers of its own
party.
Roll on the ball, dear Mr.. Enquirer
Your spunk is up. and we want to see you
stripped to the belt, ready for the fray.
Wade 10 and mash the nose of every one
who dares oppose your edicts !
We are not just now prepared TO oppose
anything looking to the ousting of the
present generation Of vipers," but are
willing to await future developments, in
order that we may be better prepared to
act in behalf of the interests of the tax.

THE DEMOCRATIC sCARE-ORow.

The Democratic party has so long held
up the negro in various forms as bugbear
to frighten its rebellious children into the
fold, that it still continues the stale cock
and-bull stories of black supremacy. 1t
insults the intelligence of the workingmen
o. Richmond by, telling them that to sus-
tain the ticket of their own nomination,
exclusively composed of white men, is to
help negroism succeed. Let the stupid
leaders of the Bourbon Democracy under
stand that this scare-crow has been hanging
out in the weather too long to have any
potency. Great rents are torn In its seedy
clothes and tell-tale straws stick out all
over it. We are not such fools as to re-
fuse to vote a ticket because our colored
friends vote for it also.
We might as well refuse to breathe the
air, or to be warmed by the suns rays, be-
cause the negro breathes and is blessed
by the same light. If friend was drown
ing we would rush to the rescue no less
speedily because hundred negroes were
moving for the same purpose. This is the
dictate of common sence. The negro has
the ballot. The Democratic party does
not propose to take it from him. The
question now is, whether we shall endeav-
or TO have him use the power conferred for
just and benifcent purposes, or leave him
to waste his political strength, or use it to
destroy the we'll being of the State.
The mechanics have made good ticket;
they invite all to support it. II the city
is subjected to negro rule, it will be be.
cause the Democracy in their madness re-
fused to yield their partisan prejudices in
matter of vital Importance to the masses
of our people who labor for subsistence

RAILROAD AocIDENT.-An accident oc-
Cured on the Little Rock railroad Friday
night, which jsopardiz-d the lives of a
party of exoursionists. About two miles
east of Madison, Ark, the trestle bridge
had become impaired by the food and the
engine plunged into the water. A broken
rail ran into the baggage car, tearing up
the flooring and throwing the car into the
water. Every car but the rear one was
thrown off the track, and the train narrow
ly escaped going into ten feet of water in
the swamp. The escape of the passengers
from death is almost miraculous. They
reached Memphis the following morniDg,
having spent the greater part of the night
in the cars, surrounded by water.

London, May 8.-A dispatch from Yer.

The Daily Telegraph has the following
special dispatch from Paris, dated Sunday:
A sortie was made Saturday in the direc-

They fired on their friends in the Vangi-
rard' quarter, who refused to open the
gates for them.
There was panic at Vanvres when the
National Guards deserted their position.
General Rossell has ordered the right
sleeves to be cut from their uniforms as a
punishment.
Bismarck is incliued to give up the forts,
but insists on strict payment of war in
demnity, for the purpose of which he sug-
gests that loans be raised by the French
government. The main points of the
treaty Of peace between Bismarck and
Favre have been agreed upon.
Paris, May Yesterday evening the
Versaiflists reconuoitred in force, but were
decimatcd by the mitrailleuses Of the Com
munists, and they were routed General
Rossell visited the outposts during the
night and returned at o'clock. His
mother is Scotch woman. At the be-
giuning of the war, the general lived at
Bourges, and coming to Paris, demanded
active service but being discouraged,
thought of journalism. The editor of the
Temps persuaded him to remain in the
army, and it is the general opinion that
France has at last found in him true
soldier.
At club meeting held in the church of
st. Nicolas last night, M. Perrin proposed
that the Commune summon the VersaIli,ts

OF Paris to death. The proposition was
carried by acclamaton
A great meeting of old men took place
in the Bastile. Five thousand were pre-
sent, and they marched to the Louvre and
demanded arms. They say they want to
show the young men how to fight. Arms
were promised them.
The prisoners taken are returned if they
refuse to fight for the Commune, the in
surgents being unwilling to feed useless
mouths.

FIsIIY.

The Dispatch intimates that the Wing is
first-olass fisherman, but doubts the truth
Of its remark, that the waters may be rails
ed considerably by large numbers Of fish.
They, of course, canuot agree as to the rel
ative merits of each other, so we must de-
eide between them.
The theory of the former may be best,
but we know something of the practical
experience of the Dispatch, both as
huntist and fishst.
While, a few summers ago, the Wing
was scorching and sweating in the narrow
confines of brick and mortar, the Dispatch
was basking 10 the cool and sparkling
waters of Failing Spring." watching aud
initiating the sportive tricks of the trout
and perch.
We have often visited this cool and
shady retreat where the pure, clear waters
of the Alleghanys, merrily dancing in the
stray sunlight, bespattered the dusty back
of tho veteran of the Dispatch. and while
his heels were turned heavenward, rejoicing
in one good cleansing, he was almost
ready to swear he was spotted trout
His graphic description of the wonders
of creation, at time when all nature was
painted with her brightest coat of green,
where rock was piled upon rock, yet worn
away by the ever and never ceasing fail of
spray was read with intense delight by
those who could imagine the existence Of
such inviting retreats as he described, but
who had never been permitted to visit
them
In his excessive joy, Uncle Jimmy Trot-
ter and his joting stages came in for their
share Of praise, SO kind was the humor of
the late clean washed, and the poor old
gentleman almost felt as if he was the
possessor of a first t-class railroad. Alas
Uncle Jimmy has been swallowed by q
bigger and more ravenous fish; Falling
Spring is still leaping the craggy heights
and dashipg on to Jackson's river, while
the Dispatch is fred hot" with Democracy.
In its heated moments, it can never for
get its memorable plunge and queer antics
beneath the celebrated Falls; nor will it
concede to the Wais that it knows more
about fish than itself.
We decide in favor of the Dispatch

The FRENCH CIVIL WAR.-There is
really no substantial change in the situa-
ton at Paris, and no immediate prospect
of any unless accomplished by some such
grand movement as that proposed by
McMahon-the storming of the city; or,
on the other hand, by movement in force
from the city, such as is said to be pro-
jected by the new insurgent Minister of
War. Meantime Bismark has net the
Versaillist ministers. Favre and Quertier,
in convention at Frankfort, urged compi-
ance with the terms of the treaty at the
time of the capitulation of Paris, and re-
ceived no satisfactory reply; and again it
is limited that Germany will now soon
intervene 10 the civil war, reinstate the
regency, aud secure its indemnity and a
substantial peace.
