SPEAKING OUT"-A colored member Of
the Senate of Texas, Matt Gaines, who is re-
garded as a representative man of his race in
that State, took occasion recently to speak
out at political meeting--
Tits time for colored people to wakcup. Little
fellows like Clarke M, Co. came down here
from Connecticut when everything was in a
state of distraction. We were not organized
and did not know what to do, and We took
them up, bobtailed coats, tight pants, little
gold-headed cane and all, and We have fed
them long enough Oh our chicken pie. These
Republicans, like Ruby from Maine, came
down here, and would make you believe that
they fought the whole war through by them
selves, and that they tore Ficksburg down with
their own hands for your freedom, &c. \ = \
Give your proyender to better stock. They
will wear out our maiorities They never, had
a decent suit of clothes till they came down
here from Connecticut, or thereabouts, and

at Austin and use my stationery, and call ME

A CONTEST. letter from Centreville. in
the Fairfax News, says:-''A young man has
been very much annoyed for some time by
a bull. which belonged to a neghbor, breaking
down the barrier SO simply and lnsutficlently
constructed around the fields in this vicinity,
and trespassing upon his tempting maize. So,
by accident: few days ago, the two met in the
field The young man having those feelings
aroused which always accompany the passion
ate on such OCCASIONS, (using a very common
ant to give up his food before he had satisfied
his voracious appetite, made battle, and des-
perate fight ensued, at least it was thought so
by those who saw the cloud of dust that arose
above them A few moments decided the issue,
and the young man retired with one of the
small bones of his nose broken, which was set
by DR.. c. H. Lambert. The animal walked
lazily off, and seemingly exultant over the vic.
tory he had obtained. The patient is doing
well at present"

4 BEE STORY. Another bee story is told,
this one by Il correspondent in Scotland. He
complacently says:
"WhiIc walking near Falkrk. We observed
two bees issuing irouI Que Of the hives bearing
the defunct body OF ! comrade, with which they
flew for distance of twelve yards. We follow
ed them closely and noted the care with which
they selected convenient hole on the side OF
the gravel walk, the tenderness with which they
committed the body, head downwards, TO earth,
and the solicitudc with which they afterwards
pushed two little stones, doubt less in memo
moment, perhaps to drop over the grave of
their friend . sym patlizing tear, and then they
fed away to their hives. y"

4 BLOODY FAMILY FEUD-L1TrLE Rock
ARK, July 3O-A very serious shooting ARRAY
occurred in Benton county on the Goth, between
two families named Reese and Pierce. On the
day in question twelve men were threshing
wheat in field near the residence of Reese,
the father of half dozen sons who were pre-
sent. Six men Of Pierces family came into
the field and stood around the thresher for some
time when all Of sudden one of the Pierce's
struck one of the Reese's with pitch fork
The father of Reese then struck Pierce with q
grain shovel, when another of the Pierce's pull
ing pistol shot Reese in the head inficting
dangerous wound, and shot another one of the
Reese in the thigh, and killed third one
outright. \ general fight then commenced, in
which two others, one on each side, we're
wounded. The assailants then started on re-
treat, when one Of the Pierce's shot back at the
crowd and at the same instant received shot
from one of the Reese which killed him.
The difficulty grew out Of some differences
between the children of the two families while
at school,

RETURNS from the Departments, as
given by dispatches last night, indi-
cate the defeat Of republicanism and
the restoration Of mOnarchical rule in
France. Gambetta, a republican, de
rected the course Of events at Bor-
deaux; Trochu, a democrat, in the
original signifcation Of the term, in
Paris. The first confessed his impO-
tenee by resigning his Office, and the
latter failed to save Paris. In the
persons Of these two leaders Of the
French republicans the party was
beaten before the election was order
ed-France again becomes a mon
archy, and If the last Of the NspOleOns
live twenty years he may re enact the
role Of the. exiled EmperOr-eXpel
Bourbon, restore the republic, and

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
Tribune says that a startling fact has
come TO light in regard to the Hud.
son river disaster. The express train
was lured to destruction by false
signals, for which the parsimOny of
the company is directly responsible.
The signal post on which the lights
were hung out at night stood at the
draw and until this winter, man
was always on duty at that point with
instructions to mind the bridge and
signal trains. Two months ago, for
the sake Of economy, this watch was
removed and the care Of the bridge
added to the duties of the man sta
toned at the water-tanks nearly a
quarter of mile below; the trains
were to be flaged from the tank instead
of at the bridge, and at night, while
the light indicating all right was
left permanently hanging at the post
seventy yards from the nearest watch
man. If the signal man had been
within reach of his signal, where he
ought to have been, he could prob
ably have showed a red light in time
to avert the disaster.

that the result of the deliberations

They say, "We don't wish to be an

let US continue to be good neighbOrs
and good customers to one another as

The Alabama Claims.


NEW YORK, February 11.-Wash-
ingtOn dispatches indicate the exist
ence of a certain degree Of dissatisfac-
ton among minority Of both Houses
of the national legislature in regard TO
the arrangements of the Alabama
Claims Commissioners. The dissatis-
faction is founded principally on the
delay which il is feared will attend
the deliberations OF the Commission,
and from which, it is thought, the
interests of claimants will suffer.
The malcOntents say that the mem
bers of the Commission viii probably
remain in session the greater part Of
the time between March and the as
sembling of Congress in December
next, and that in the event Of q treaty
being arrived at, the Senate viii be
almost sure to spend a considerable
time in its consideration, so that a
year, at least, must elapse before the
question between the two govern
ments can be adjusted-not to speak
Of the still further time liable to be
consumed in diplomatic correspond
enee, before the various claims can be
established and the claimants receive
their money. Besides, the correspond
ence, as hitherto published, leaves
the powers Of the commission very
uncertain, but may be construed to
include all questions Of every nature
between the two countries, and the
negotiations may result In a treaty
which may be no more acceptable
than the one so unanimously rejected
by the Senate. They demand that the
bills now before the Senate and House
foreign committees be reported, 80 that
the United States may assume and pay
their claims and afterWard settle with
Great Britain. On the other hand, a
majority Of the Senators and members
express their approval of the Presi-
dents plan, and point to the men who
represent the United States on the
commission ss a guarantee that what
ever is agreed to viii be acceptable to
the people.

En,i RIvsr RrIdued wIth Ios.

NEW YORK, February 1.-East
river was completely bridged over
this afternoon. The cause of this un-
usual occurrence was an immense
cake of ice, which foated down with
the tide and became blocked up be-
tween the city and Long Island shore.
Thousands of adventurous people
seized the opportunity Of crossing to
Brooklyn. Suddenly, however, an
ominous rumbling was heard, and the
huge mass of ice became detached and
began moving slowly out to sea,
while large assures were observed
shoreward. A general : stampede en-
sued, and about twenty boys failed to
reach the shore. When they saw
themselves drifting out TO sea they
Immediately became fearfully
alarmed, and shouted loudly for
help. Their cries attracted attention,
and several boats put out to rescue
them. The boys were all safely taken
OF. Three canal boats and the
tugboat Ontario have been sunk by
the ice cutting them through.

HAVANA, February u.-Late ad-
vices from Hayti say another attempt
at revolution was made at POrt-au-
Prince, on the I'd instant. An attack
was made on the arsenal, but the reb-
els were defeated, and a number
arrested at Jerennie. A feeling of dis
gust prevails among the res pectable
portion of the inhabitants at the un-
settled state of the country. They
declare that the frequent revolutions
since the independence Of Hayd have
operated to the detriment of the prop
erty classes, their wealth and intel
lect, and they seriously contemplate
annexation TO the United States, and
only wait until the cessiOn Of San Do
mingO is effected. This feeling is rap
idly spreading. The President, how

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
gold market has been affected contra
ry to the anticipatiOns Of some opera
tors en- the street, by pending negOti-
atiOns with England. The impress
sion prevails with some that Eng
land is disembarrassing herself of the
Alabama claims only as a preparation
for war with Russia. On the other
hand, the rise in domestic prices and
Government securities precludes their
shipment to Europe and invites the
return of bonds from abroad; hence,
the gold market is becoming stronger,
although the advance is not material.
