Rsy~It is an undeniable fact that
Congress and General Grant have
nearly suppressed the Ku Klux pas
time in the South. The delightful
liberty of killing union men has been
rudely crushed by the strong arm of
a consolidated government. The
men whose scalps have been saved
by this Interference on the part Of
the government will likely hurrah
for General Grant and Congress-
But there are thousands Of persons
down South and elsewhere, even in
in New York City, to whom unre-
strictcd freedom is far dearer than
other peoples lives.
eea-Th Portage City Register says:
"And now comes another report that
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
road and the Milwaukee and st Paul
Company have harmonized their dis
agreements. They say that the lat
ter company is TO trade the old line
from Portage to Milwaukee, both
companies to use the latter line, and
the Chicago and Northwestern to
build road from Portage to Bara-
boo" We doubt the truth Of the ru-
NOR, although such propositions may
have been made and considered by
tho two companies.
The Coreans have written let
ter to Admiral John Rogers, como
handing the United States Asiatc
squadron, asking what the Ameri-
cans want Tho letter closes thus;
"For what purpose do you como so
many thousand miles across the sea?
Is it to inquire about the vessel de-
stroyed-the General Sherman? Her
men committed murder and piracy
and were punished with death. Do
you want our land2 That cannot
be. Do you want intercourse with
US? That cannot be-"
The fact that the terms oftwen-
ty-four United States Senators ox-
pire a year from next March lends
considerable interest TO the present
fall, as in eight of the States, viz,
Kentucky, California, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Iowa, Maryland, Wiscon-
sin, and Vermont, the Legislatures
chosen will be elected with reference
to tho selection Of Senators.
Secretary Fish still fingers at
his Hudson home, entertaining his
assistant secretary, Mr.. Bancroft Da-
Wis, who goes to Washington pres
emily to take charge OF the State De-
partment, while his chief crosses the
plains with the Presidential party.
The Crown Prince ofPrussia is on
a visit to London. Napoleon soon
goes to Germany, Eugene, to visit
her mother in Spain. The Emperor
William is to meet the Car Alexan-

The ST Louis Times is opposed
TO military man as q candidate for
the Presidency on the Democrat

cock as the hangman of Mrs. Surrat.
The first note of the coming OPP

Madam Parepa-Rosa sailed from Liv-

The European powers will, it is

THE DAY OF DAYS,
and although the sun shone in full
orbed splendor and palm leaves were
at premium, still the day proved
much more comfortable than some
former occasions had been. The
great church looked much as we
fancy Commencement halls always
look. The graceful festoons and ever
green notices, the stage occupied by
the much-enduring notables, the
body of the house filled with those
who have sternly resolved to hear
everything through, the galleries
thronged by the fair ones who enjoy
a little pleasure along With the BUSH
ness of listening, the side galleries
bright with bouquets waiting for
favored youths, all unite to make
scene inspiring to any orator, and |
especially SO to an enthusiastic stu
dent, and well did the eleven mem
bers of the graduating class merit the
hearty compliments Of Prof Peabody |
at the Alumni Dinner which followed, |
where he remarked that "they would |
be proud of such graduating exercises
at Harvard, and that at the many |
Commencement he had attended at
different Colleges he had never been
more entirely and profoundly salts
fed"

THE LAST HORROR

Parll5aIars Of the Awful DsaslsF-OnIy
Oas Shaft-N0 Escape for the Poor,

PITTsToE, May 28.-AII the men in
the mines, thirty eight in number,
have been brought up, eighteen Of
whom were dead At half past
twelve tonight they succeeded in
effecting an entrance to the bottom
shaft and brought to the surface
Andrew Morgan; they also found
Hiram Curtis dead, lying with his
face in the water. At fOrty-five
minutes past twelve they sent
up word. The men barriCaded
themselves in and sent up a cage for
men and tools. This morning the eX-
element at the shaft was greater than
ev=r. Up to s o'clock tWenty-fOur
men had been brought to the top, of
which number six were dead. All
were insensible when brought out.
One or two have so far recovered as
TO be able to give an account of them
selves. Morgan when first discovered
was still alive, though his recovery is
doubtful; he is unconscious. The
parties are compelled to proceed with
the utmost caution, and frequently
brought out asphyXiated with foul
gas.
At 10 am. thirty men had been
brought out, ten Of whom were dead,
and at twelve o'clock not more than
one or two remained in the mine.
Every one Of the men brought up,
who had remained in the mine over
two hours, were found stone dead.
The excitement is almost indescrib-
able. Thousands of people crowd
around the mouth of the pit,
and in their eagerness to see
and hear, are with difficulty
stretched around the shaft. At the
time Of the ignition of the upper part
of the shaft yesterday the shirts Of the
miners were being changed, and
many of them were standing and
q few of others, relieved by their COM
paniOns, were coming out as the
alarm was given by the engineer
He at once communicated the warn
ing of danger to the bottom Of the
mine, and began to hoist the carriage,
bringing up several men on the first
four trips. In three succeeding trips
no arrivals were reported, and
while the last trip was being
made the rope slipped of the
pulley and all further means
escape was beyond possibility. At
one time a young lad at the bottom of
the shaft, go feet down, saw the ner-
vOUs twitching of the bell wire,
which the bell refused to respond to,
and suspicious that some disastrous
accident had occurred, immedi- !
ateiy ran Into the east gangway,
several hundred feet, and warned his
brothers Of the circumstance. These |
two, with Evans, were the last to as
Cend. In one hour and a half the
breaker had burned to the ground,
and men of all vOcatiOns in life have !
begun removing the half consumed
timbers that obstructed the passage to |
the mouth Of the shaft. Water was
drawn from the river in barrels and |
every available means, though the |
river is over a mile distant. A tele-
gram also brought the Scranton, |
Wilkesbarre and Pittston fire depart |
ments. By 5 o'clock. water /
had cooled the iron and wood near the !
shaft, and preparations were made to |
clear the mouth. In the meantime, |
hundreds of women and children had |
near the scene Of the dis |
aster, and their heart. .rending cries |
pierced the air.

LITTLE Rock, May 28.--FrOm per
sons who made their escape from The
Hot Springs last night, and reached
here to-day, some details haye beer
gathered Of the
MOST TERRIFIC FLOOD
that has ever reached that place, Of
any other, perhaps. Barney Hughes
was completely washed out, after
night fall. The storm came in most
ferociOus manner from the West.
1t burst in startling spIendo1
above the adjacent nights. The light
ming flashed in great globes, making
a greater than nOOn-day briIliancy,
and then went out in perfect dark
ness. It was one Of the grandest dis
plays Of heavens artillery that was
witnessed since the time the giant
mastOdOn and the unWieldy milOdOn
trod those hills. It was gigantic.
Every clap of thunder shook, and in
some cases, shivered the glasses in the
hotel windows.
THE RAIN FELL IN SHEETS, NOT IN
DROPS.
Every ater-cOurse became full In
half an hour; where streamIets ran
during the prevalence Of former rain
storms, rivers were formed. Before
the people knew anything Of what
was going on outdoors, there was a
food sweeping down the main street
Of the place, several feet deep. The
inmates Of the hotels could see, by the
ftful glare Of the lightning,
FRAGMENTS OF WRECK
sweeping past. On one occasion a
country wagon, with three steers at
taehed, was swept by at the rate Of
eight or ten miles an hour, the below
ing Of the cattle and the despairing
shrieks Of the driver were rendered
the rushing Of the waters.
fearful conmOtiOn. When the rising
food invaded the first floor Of the Hot
Springs Hotel our informant rushed
toward the stable up to his knees in
water. There were half a dozen gen
tlemen already thee clamOring and
for horses.

When he found there was no chsnce,

he saw the Hale House, already like

floating about the neighbOrhOOd, the
guests all getting as high up as posi-
bic. The Aiken House was also afioat,
and the food up to the balcony Of the
Hot Springs Hotel; and still the wa
ters rushed and the rain fell. The
fact is, the whole valley was converted
into a lake. 1t is thought that there
was nothing left standing. No loss Of
life is as yet reported. We may have
fuller details in the morning.
