We learn this from the Planters Banner


On Saturday, the seventeenth instant,
Charles Pleasant. a fireman employed on
board of the steamer Minnie Avery, came
to a sudden and terrible death while that
steamer was at our wharf. Immediately
prior to the unfortunate. occurrence he was
engaged in throwing pieces of coal at some
of his comrades on the bank, who were
hurting them back at him-alI parties in
good humor-when suddenly taking a step
backward he fell over the side into the
water. Whether he received an injury from
an iron stanchion which stood near or
whether he was struck by piece of coal is
unknown; but although an excellent swim
mer he sunk instantly, and it is doubtful if
he ever rose, although some witnesses of the
occurrence imagined that he was seen to
rise once. One of his friends, who has
known him for many years, speaking of his
proficiency as a swimmer assures us that
he has seen him repeatedly, for mere sport,
swim across the Atchafalaya and back. 1t
is, therefore, astonishing that he should
have been drowned without making an
effort to save himself; either extreme injury
or complete terror can alone account for
this. His body was recovered soon after life
was extinct, and buried ON Sunday.

Colonel Clifford Thsmpson's .Resignssion,
and ifs Caase. ~ II , : y
This is special to. the Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal:
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 20.-There has
been great deal of excitement in official
circles tonight, and especially among Off
GERS of the Internal Revenue Bureau, over
the announcement that Colonel Clifford
Thompson, late chief clerk of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, had resigned, because it
was ascertained that he had sold to the
officers of the New York Central Railroad
Company. two days in advance of its pro-
mitigation, the decision in the great scrip
tax case, and that by this information the
officers were enabled to save themselves
from less. The excitement that this occa-
stoned would seem to indicate that if
Thompson was in the business other Off
GERS OF the bureau had a share in it. Mr..
thompson left the office with the highest
Endorsement from General Pleasonton. and
since his resignation has had unusual priv
ileges at the revenue bureau. 1t is limited
that as the result of this exposure General
PleasOnton himself will shortly tender his
resignation. The story about the business
here is that Colonel Thompson wrote the
officers of the company and asked them
what information in relation to the decision
would be worth in advance. The reply
was $4,000. Colonel Thompson was not
satisfied with this and demanded $4,000,
when the company refused the demand,
and then had ThOmpsOn's letter photo.
graphed and sent to the President. What
ever the truth about the matter is, it Gre
ated very unpleasant odor about the
Treasury Department.

The nomination of General Noyes by ac-
clamation as the Republican candidate for
Governor of Ohio was probably brought
about by perfect understanding among
the delegates before the convention was or
ganized. Tho two leading candidates were

Noyes. A dispatch from Cincinnati on the
eighteenth says: I'd
Both the Wade and Noyes parties are
still claiming a majority in the legislature.
The Wade men tonight are claiming two
majority, as well as a majority in the popu-
lar vote, but Noyes' friends are equally con-
fident they will control the delegation.
With the harmony now secured in the Re-
publican ranks, their success in Ohio is
certain.

Bowen to be Pardoned and Reinstated in
His Seat.

WASHINGTON, June 20-Ex-C ngressman
Bowen, convicted of bigamy, and sentenced
TO two years imp, isOnment, is still confined
in the county Jail here. He does not suffer
much from the rigors of confinement being
furnished with the best room in the build
ing, allowed the freedom of the Jail and
grounds, furnished with meals from his
own home daily, and is visited by num-
Der of friends. The general belief is that
he will be speedily pardoned. His case
was ia Forably considered in Cabinet meet
ing on Friday, and the district attorney
recommended pardon. The papers are in
the hands of the Attorney General. and will
be forwarded to the President tomorrow
The friends of Bowen express the positive
belief that he will get his seat in Congress
from the second district of South Carolina,
over DeLarge, colored, the sitting member.
His friends alse say the three managers of
the elections in the county where DeLarge
was given. by them, a majority of five
thousand, having been tried upon an indict-
ment for fraud aud convicted, there can be
no further difficulty. They also say that
the wholesale stuffing of the ballot-box of
the election is proven beyond doubt, and
that still other evidence remains. Also,
that the other managers are now on trial
for the same Offense, with strong likeli-
hood Of conviction, which will 90 to make

A Terrible Tragedy.

This is a New York dispatch of the nine
teenth instant:
The murder by Dr. Connally of his two
children, and his death by his own hands
yesterday afternoon, has created intense
excitement. Connally was apparently in
good circumstances, having fair practice,
and seemed devoted to his wife and chill
dren. Occasionally he would drink to ex-
cess, and this in time caused his practice to
fall off. He became worse, and was often
for several days under the influence of
liquor He finally grew SO bad that his
friends deemed it best to send him to the
inebriate asylum, and he returned about
three months ago apparently cured. He
soon relapsed into his old ways, and be-
came worse than before. He had been for
two or three days on one of his periodical
sprees and on Saturday and yesterday he
took occasional doses of morphine to quiet
his nerves.
About four o'clock p NJ. yesterday he en-
tered the bedroom of himself aud wife,
taking the children with him and locking
the door. The police were informed about
an hour later that something was wrong,
when they wished to break open the door,
but Mrs. Connally protested that her hus-
band had merely locked himself in his room
and taken an opiate, and was sleeping off
its effect. The door was finally forced open
and horrible spectacle was presented
On the bed lay the father and the children.
all dead and literally bathed in blood The
headboard of the bed was spattered with
blood and the bed clothes and mattress
soaked. The weapon which the lunatic
had used, which lay on the bed, was cary
ing knife, with blade sixteen inches long
and tapering gradually to fine point. The
threats of both children had been cut, their
jugular veins being severed. The throat of
the other was cut nearly from ear to ear,
and there were besides several wounds in
the breast, in the vicinity of the heart. A
physician examined the body and an
nounced that death had occurred several
hours previous. Mrs. Connally was rem
dered insane for a time by the terrible dis
cOyery.

Terrible Storm-Several Persons Killed.
The following is from the Topeka, Kan
Sas REGARD of the nineteenth instant.

1ut lOllOW1ug Is IrOm tut IOpthst, Mill
sas, Record, of the nineteenth instant:
We learn that on the evening of the six
teenth instant, EldOrado and the surround
ing country was visited by one of the most
terrific storms ever known in that part of
the State. The Times says: About eight
o'clock in the evening storm came from
the northwest, accompanied with wind and
hail and rain, and, before the people had
time to make any preparations for it, the
hurricane swept through the town.
The clouds were of inky blackness, and
with vivid flashes of lightning, accompanied
by crashing thunder. Every moment the
gale increased, and the rain came down in
The situation became more fearful every
moment. A lull in the storm only seemed
to increase its fury, and in fifteen minutes
from the commencement men, women and
children could lbe seen flying through the
streets seeking protection from the falling
houses. By this time the air was filed with
flying timbers.
Large houses were completely demol-
ished, and others were UNI OF, d, while
others were lifted from the foundations and
carried by the wind from forty to fifty and
two hundred feet, and vet there seemed no
lull in the storm.
As we stood by the window, gazing out
ward, we could plainly see the houses top
rible and the earth seemed to tremble be-
meath our feet.
We have been unable to get any particu-
lar news from the country, but for four
and five miles around the same wholesale
destruction seems to be visible.
Houses were blown down, fences de-
stroyed and crops ruined. The Times gives
a list of the sufferers by this fearful storm
DR.. McKinney's little child was killed
and a child of Mr.. Langdon was also killed.
Mr.. Dicks child had its arm broken. A girl
living in the family of w. p. Campbell was
seriously injured, and several others were
wounded.
Among those reported as the greatest
losers are Hazlitt & Dick, McClaran &
jackson, Mrs. Long, Gardner & Gilmore,
w. III. Reddon, Andrew johnson, E. Howe,
Beltz & Frazer, Bloom Bros, Ira Matt, w.
III. Rain, DIR. Mckinney, Messrs. Dick,
Parker, Preston, Colonel Sumner and host
of others. This is the most destructive
storm that has visited any part of the State
this season.

This is from the Houma Republica,,.

Hon. p. O'Hare, one of the proprietors
and editors of this paper, has just returned
home after an extended tour through the
parishes of West Feliciana, East Feliciana,
Pointe Coupee. Iberville and West Baton
Rouge. In each of which he has had an
ample opportunity of gathering informa-
ton in regard to crops, etc. He informs us
that the cotton does not give promise of a
satisfactory yield; he states, however, that
the cane is looking pretty well, and with
dry weather for few weeks both corn,
cane and cotton will improve greatly.

The preliminary examination of Mr.. Ray
mond Deshetel, for the killing of p. s.
Guidry, commenced before District Judge
King on the ninth instant and was con
cluded on the twelfth. 1t is said that the
evidence for the Prosecution showed muir
der, and that for the defense manslaughter.
The judge decided to net the prisoner TO
bail in the sum of $4,000 for his appearance
before the proper tribunal. At the time we
write this bond had not been furnished. and
the accused was still in Jail.

The Washington correspondent of the st.
louis BepMblican telegraphs:


Senator Morton's presence at Long
Branch with the President, and the an
noHneed fact that he will accompany the
executive to the Pacific coast, are looked
upon in political and official circles here as
significant circumstances in view of the
grasp and influence the Indiana Senator has
upon the President Mr. Morton. it is well
known, has large number of axes to grind,
and hence bis adhesion to the person of
General Grant, for whom he cares nothing
except to the extent to which he nav make
use of him for his own selfish ends 1t is
also well known that for purposes best
known to himself, Morton has been playing
sort of see-saw between the New York
Senators with advantage to himself and
his friends and supporters. The belief is
gaining strength that Morton wants and
has demanded the State Department port
folio, and as there does not seem to lie
much doubt that Mr.. Fish will carry out
his long cherished desire to retire, there is
likely to be vacancy in the senatorial
from Indiana, and a new
Secretary of State at a very early day.

From all quarters comes the cry Of, "too

fine, dry weather is blessing us now. We
are not in position. to learn the actual ex-

consequence of the long continued rains,
but we believe it has been small enough to
allow of its almost complete effacement by
reasonable season of dry weather.
