Terrific Thunder storm.
The Rapides Gazette says:

The Rapides Gazette says:
We had terrific storm ON Monday night
last. Thunder and lightning was 'tall the
go.p We crossed .'old Red" during its pre-
valence and got completely 'dueked' and
almost lightning struck, but we finally
arrived safe into port. Some considerable
damage was done during its visit TO our
quiet town; first a quarter section of the
top corner of the Ice House Hotel was COM
pletely riddied and knocked down, as the
sidewalk completely showed the next morn
ing. We also learn that two men, in travel
ing down Bayou Rapides, while the storm
was raging, took to tree" for shelter. The
lightning struck the tree, and both were
killed instantly. An inquest was held by
Coroner Wood, and a verdict rendered in
accordance with the above statement.
Since writing the above, we learn from
Coroner Wood that the two men killed on
Bayou Rapides were named Francis Neil
and Pierson Shook. who, from papers found
on their persons, were from Canada West,
near The city of Toronto. We also learn
that after the storm A. N. Ogden, Jr., and
e. r. Hayworth, ESQ.,, went out of their
houses to see what damage had been done
by the storm, and found these two men
standing on their feet in the hollow of large
sycamore tree, near the Long plantation.
From the appearance of the bodies when
found, it is to be supposed that they never
felt the pain of, death. This is one Of the
most remarkable occurrences that has taken
place in our parish in the way of lightning.

The Bav ST. Louis Gazette saws:

Orleans Fire Company No. 81 came on
Saturday night last on the mail beat to
Bay st. Louis, TO spend a couple of days on
a watering place excursion. They were
heartily received by our own independent
Hope Hook and Ladder Company No. l,
who did the honneurs in fine style. On
Saturday evening ballswas given at the
Stockton Hotel, which went of with great
ectat. Charley Jaeger's fine brass band
furnished the music, and dancing was kept
up to a late hour. On Sunday both COM
panies joined in the ceremonies of a flag
presentation to the Hook and Ladder Com
pany, which would have been very inter-
esting and enjoyable if the weather had not
been so dismally unpleasant.
We are indebted to Mr.. G. L. Volz, fore
man of Orleans No. 81, and to Chief En-
gineer Thomas O'Connor, for courtesies
shown.
Mr.. C. L. Volz, the foreman is evidently
the right man in the right place. He keeps
his company well in hand, and has brought
it to high state of discipline and eff
cheney.

We make copious extracts from an article
in the last number of the Assumption
Chronicle
All who have. read what we have ever
written upon political questions will bear us
witness that we were always anxious for
unity and compactness of the Republican
party. s.s.ssssss asas a4ss-ss .s
If we have ambitious men among us, who
for selfish ends have disturbed the peace of
the party, we have said let us disown such,
and go on in our purpose to conquer the
common enemy. For we hold that the
unity OF the party is far more important
than the promotion of the interest of any
one man, whoever he may be. Our purpose
has been, among other things, to warn our
political friends against the danger of dis
union.
Our effort is to hold the party together
by persuading all to advocate sound prin-
ciples and practices, and to condemn un-
sound ones.
And when man is found outside of this
line of duty, outside of the fealty to party,
to compel him. by outspoken objections, to
return to that fealty, or, if he persists in
his hayward course, then to expose him,
and thus render him forever harmless for
evil, by teaching others to avoid his ex-
ample.
We are opposed to divisions of the party,
either here or elsewhere, in the State. We
advocate no divisions anywhere, either in
the State or parish organizations. And If
every organization is like the parish OF As
sumption, there will be no division. Let
there be oneness of purpose. Select
the best and truest men in all cases. We
want to see the Northern, Southern and
colored Republicans all united into one solid
phalanx, marching against the foe. We
want this to be so compact and determined
that no man can get out of the ranks with
out being brought to with a Halt y and
placed back where he belongs. Pure Repab-
lican principles carried into practice, a
united party, and determined purpose to
conquer, are our watchwords, and with
these doctrines carried out, Louisiana is
good for the Republican party by at least
thirty-fve or forty thousand majority in

We make the following extracts from an
editorial in the Buffalo New York; Courier,
headed Military Interference in Louis
lama"
Not satisfied with the unfortunate result
of his official interference with the political
action of the people of Missouri last year,
President Grant has just made a still
greater blunder in Louisiana. For the first
time in the political History of the country,
the federal government has, through its
military power, interfered directly to con-
troll political convention. In New Or
leans, on Thursday last, United States
troops, with bayonets and artillery, were
posted at the door of the hall in which the
Louisiana Republican convention was
called. and forcibly kept out all delegates
who were not in sympathy with General
Grants administration. Only those who
were favorable to his nomination were per-
mitted to enter, while those opposed were
forced to go elsewhere to meet and give ex-
preston to their Indignation. We do not
remember ever to have been called upon to
chronicle greater outrage.
The course pursued by the administration
faction, on Thursday, was a gross outrage
not only upon their radical brethren, but
upon the people at large. 1t becomes mat
ter of serious inquiry where this sort of
thing is to stop, and how it is to be etfectu-
ally rebuked.
We are glad to notice a very general dis
approval and denunciation of the New Or
leans outrage, even among the radical
press. We consider this an evidence that
the popular sentiment is still healthy, and
that it can be relied upon in an emergency
such as the administration seems deter
mined to precipitate as speedily as possible.

The Rapides Gazette reports a murder:

We learn that a most atrocious murder
was committed on the Beatty plantation on
Sunday last Richard Kirk, one of our
best cOlored citizens, was killed by Charles
McNutt, who is now in jail awaiting an ex-
animation. We have heard the particulars,
but we do not wish to give them to the pub
lie, as we wish all who are concerned in
these acts may have fair and impartial
trial. VIII these outrages never cease A
large amount of credit is due Sheriff De
Lacy and deputy Sheriff Clements, and
some colored men, for their diligence and
perseverance in arresting the accused.

We copy this from the New York Cone
n,ercidl AGuertiSer:
Did Horace ever really have such con-
versation as this with Mrs. Cady Stanton
Horace-.'Mrs. Stanton if you were al
lowed to vote, would you be willing to
fight!'
Mrs. Stanton-"Certainly just as you
fought in the late war, by sending a substi-
tute."
Mrs. Stanton is reported to have said that
such a conversation actually took place,
and what makes it seem probable, is the
acrimony with which Horace denounces the
female sutfragists in his letter to Dame
Tilton. He was smarting under her lady
ships keen reply.

The Red River Ne,cs saws:

The banks of Cane river presented quite
a lively appearance, at the Bluffs near this
place, last Sunday morning. Several con-
verts to the Methodist church, presided
over by Rev. Thomas Kennedy, received
the rite of immersion on this occasion.
They were followed TO the designated place
of baptism by very large concourse, who
sang religious melodies while on the way.
The colored people here at least are noted
for their large attendance at church, as
well as at the funerals of their deceased
friends.
