The Massacre Of the Archbishop Of
Paris and His Comrades.

Inc last Gays OF the aScCndancy
Of the Commune in Paris rival, in
the horror and atrocity of their
deeds, tho worst excessos of the
frightfuI times of tho old Revolution
of 1924. The murder of Arch
bishop Darboy, of ton hostages and
fifty priests, who had been thrown
into prison by the Commune au.
thorities, is a crime exactly similar
to the celebrated September mnssa-
ere in the prisons Of 1892. Prcvi-
Gus TO that event there had been
domiciliary visits to every house in
Paris, and about ten thousand ar.
rests made Of persons supposed to
he dis0tfcctcd toward the RcvoIu.
ton. a gang of three hundred
cut Threats was thon organized, AID
entered upon their work OF blood,
We presume the late massacre was
done in a similar manner. The
Archbishop was a noble and sanity
character, and his tragic fate, TO-
gether, with his unfortunate com.
radios, is a terrible blot upon the
cscutcheon Of tho RcvoIutionists

Revolution oflSlS. 1t was in Juno
in the memorable i%nsurrection O
that year, which was suppressed
with such stcrnness and rigor by
Gen. Cavaignac.
Atthe close of the first days fight
when it WAS evident that the Insur
gents wer certain to be overcome
the good Archbishop, animated sole
ly by his desire to save the further
efrusion Of blood, offered to 90 as ;
mediator to them behind their bar
ricades. He knew his danger from
the fronziod and desperate mer
who were in revolt, and considered
the great probability that he would
never return alive from his erran(
Of mercy. But, arraying bimsolfiI
his full canOnicals, putting on hi
bishops robe, and With a crucifx IL

The firing ceased, and he reached
the works, had a brief parley, onl,
to be drawn in by hooks and bar
barously murdered in cold blood
There was never a nobler mission
undertaken or more heroically exc
cuted than that of this gallant pre-
late. Archbishop Darboy was
man imbued with the Same nobl
impulses, and he was admired an,
revereneed by thousands who wer
most bitterly opposed to his rel
gious faith. The bones Of the viz
tim of the Revolution Of 1913 repos
in the Church of Notre Dame, on
of the most beautiful structures i

Insurgents have not disturbed. Bu

The Ohio Platform.

Tho Cincinnati Enquirer, COM
mHnting upon the result of the lato
Democratic convention of Ohio,
'ays: The platform, about which
most interest conferred, was the
most difficult subject the convention
had to deal with. 1t will be- seen
that the resolutions adopted depart
ed from the Montgomery resolu-
tons i'll being more regardful oftho
correct position Of the Democracy
in relation TO the amendments.
They avoid the acknowledgment
that the amendments we're the
natural and legitimate results of
the war, or that they were "neces-
sary to maintain the Union and the
constitutional rights and powers OF
the Federal government" or that
they were issues Of the war. TO
have acknowledged that, would
have boon to place the Democracy
squarcly on the platform of the
Republican party, The Conven-
ton avoided the adoption of so
suicidal II policy. The platform is,
however, on the amendments sub
stantlally the idea of MIR. VaIlan.
dingham's resolutions in this, that
they recognize the amendments as
having passed outside OF the de-
main of political discussion and
agitation, and as accomplished facts,
to be hereafter regarded as parts OF
the Constitution and to be observed
and obeyed as such. The policy OF
paying the public debt with paper
legaktendcrs is adhered to and in.
sisted on. The other resolutions
while expressing great principles
were not the particular subjects Of
discussion. 1t will be seen that
the great fight is to be on the con.
struCtiOn that is to be put on the
amendments, and not on the amend.
ments themselves. This is really
now TO be the battlefield, and Of
which we shall take an early occa
sion to speak.

Mrs. Harriet BcFchcr steve,
Account Of Her Visit to
tho South.

We have been "down South" and,
like all travellers, feel inclined to re-
late our experience, and because it
vas new and interesting to us,
naturally think il must be equally
so IL others. We
nr9 not naturally timid. We seldom
fear Sights or insults from stran-
gers; believing if people mind their
own misunderstanding their eyes, but
not their tongucs-trcating all with
proper reserve, but kindly and po-
litcIy, they may travel anywhere
without danger of annoyance. To
be sure, there have been periods of
excitement, when this assertion
could not have been so confidently
made. 1t is but a few years since n
N%ortherncr might not have deemed
it wise to linger long in or even
travel through the Southern portion
ofoHr country but those are happi-
Iy by gone days, and no greater
compliment can DO paid to our coun-
try, and to the Southern part of it
particularly than to be able to say,
with all truthfulness, that from the
time we left our home till our re-
turn, everywhere, and from all
classes, We met only with kindness
and attention ; everything that true
courtesy could do to make our
jonrneyings pleasant and comfort
able was done. Two wOmcn-.and
one m invAlid-werc regarded az

talk of the continuance of Southern
bitterness, animosity, and secret
emnity, whom two unprotected
Northern women can pass through
tho States just emerging from years
of war, and through those places
where the deadly strife was %ticrccst,
not only without molcstation, but
with sympathy and assistance nj
every step?

Peach and lOney-a GontICmanIy

Old Judge Cole, of Texas, was
characterized by his attachment for
that seductive beverage called
peach and honey, and by biz hatred
Of whiskey drinkers. While hold.

brought up on a charge Of drunk

row had occurred on tho public
street, in the open day, and there
were fifty witnesses to tho whole
transaction. So tho two delinquents
pleaded guilty, by advice Of their
counsel and throw themselves on
the mercy of the court. They we, o

PARIS, Juno THE funeral cere-
monies to-day over the remains Of
five clerical victims Of the Com
mune were solemn and impressive.
Notro Dame was grandly arrayed.
The central object in the solemn
pomp wasa gorgeous catatalque
containing the remains ofthc Arch
bishop, surrounded by minor struc-
lures bearing the cOrpscs of Dug
uercny, Cure Of Madclaine Suret,
Grand Vicar of the DiOces, Be
court and Sabatur. The coffin OF
the Archbishop was covered with
q pail of black velvet, embroidered
and enriched with a massive silver
cross. Thousands OF tapcrs were
burning in silver candolabras, and
the incense vessels were also of sill
yer. The floor was covered with
black cloth, and the pulpit with
black gauzc bespangled with silver
stars. Trahsepts, $50 feet wide,
appeared like huge recesses ofblack
drapery, which covered every sta.
tue. In the midst Of all were the
black and charred remains of the
Bishops chair, and his Throne.

the prisoner, with some faint hope
that having been drunk would nit
igato the punishment.

"Mr. Clerk, record a fine of fifty
dollars against this man." cried the
Judge; "send him to Jail for sixty
DAYS. | shall fine tho next one
who is guilty, under such aggravat-
Jog circumstances, a hundred dol
lars, and send him to Jail for six
months"
This WAS poor comfort for the
unfortunate fellow who was wait
ing his turn, and came forward with
fear and trembling. As no passed
along by his lawyer, that thought
full gentlemen whispered into his
ear. "When the Judge asks you
what you got drunk on, tell him
peach and honey"
lie took his stand.
"You, too, are up here for an af-
frav," growlod tho old Judge,
gnashing his teeth, as if he would
like to bite the culprit at the bar.
ayes, your honor"
"Drunk, too, | suppose"
ayes, your honor, sorry to say
it--drunk very drunk"
"Drunk on whiskoy, too, sup
posc?"
"Ohno, your honor, never drink

honey"
The Judge's.ieatures relaxed in
an instant. Leaning forward and
raising his spectaclcS, he contem-
plated tho offender with interest,
and then, with something like ton
derncss, "Ah !! sir" said the Judge,
kindly, "pcach and honey, eh .
that's a gcntlcmanIy drink, sir.
The court sympathizes with you,
sir, and does not regard your Of

he continued, in a softcncd tone,
"entor n fine of one dollar against

The Flood In New Orleans

From the n o P~icsyuUe, Monday Eve.
We are now almost realizing the
spectacle Of q submerged city. BY
tar moro than one-half of the town
is under water, and the rising wa,
tiers, with astealthy cat-liko advance,
are coming in every direction.
Citizens are flying from their homes,
and thousands offamilics are to-day
shclterless and without food. From
Rampant street TO the woods, from
Julia street to the lake, a scarcely
uninterrupted flood exterds. The
canals, from whose aflluent waters
came the first menacing peril, have
themselves disappeared in the lake.
like sheet that spreads in every di'
rection. The strong wind from the
lake still brings fresh material to
swell the rising tide, and property
and life are alike being sacrificed
to the treachcrous and subtle ele-
ment.
Since I o'clock Sunday evening
the water has risen at the rate OF
twelve inches in twelve hours. 1t
now floods Canal street to Dryadcs
street, and on Common street the
water extends to Rampant. In the
angle of the city formed by the Old
Basin, Claiborne street and Elysian
Fields street, there is but little wa
ter; only such, indeed, as arises from
overlooked sewers. But between
EIysian Fields street and Lafayette
Avenue, and far beyond Florida
Walk, the flood extends uninterrupt,
edly to avast lake-a miniature sea.
Nor does it stop here, but covers all
the vast area below Canal street
from Bayou st. John to Jourdan
Avenue, and from Hagan Avenue,
up Poydras, to Rampant street.
Nearly every homestead in this
wide extent surrounded by water.
Many families have left but others
still remain confined to their houses,
and suffering for food. 1t is true
the charitahIy disposed and the au-
thoritics are putting forth every OK
ertion to minister to their ncccssi-
tics; but their facilities for trans,
porting food are few, and many
must suffer the greatest extremity
before assistance can reach them.
1t was reported yesterday evening
that the water was slowly reccding
at Milneburg ; but this does not ap.
pear possible in view of the fact
that it is rising elsewhere. The
Same volume Of water that passes
over the rear of the city would con,
tribute equally to a rise at the lake
End. All of the street cars beyond
Rampant street have stopped. The
travel on this thoroughfare, how
ever, will scarcely be affected, I'm.
less, indeed, it be those cars which
run ont EsPlanado street. Tho ad-
vance in this direction, Of course, is
not to be thought of.
In brict, this is the present condi.
ton of the food. 1t is hardly
probable that it can remain so long,
and by the time this is in print the
ref1ux may have set in.

GEN. HANCOCK.

The South, seems TO concedc that
the next nomination tor President
should come from the Northern De-
mocracy. With this concession,
we expect the North to give us a
candidate, whose antecedents will,
at least, yield us the hope that our
section will cease to exist as a prov
linec of the General Government.
, The moment tho South is rehabili-
t0tcd, and dispenscs with the cast
off political garments with which
she has been invested, We will see
her first stride towards prosperity.
We will hear then of no Ku-kIux
outragcs, and Radical hate will
shoulder into asches for want Of
something to feed on.
OF all who have attained promi-
ncncc in connection with the nomi-
nation, Gen. Hancock is certainly
the most uncXccptionablc. A gal
liant soldier, with the qualities Of Il
soldier libcralizcd by education and
culture his war-rccord ir%reproacha-
bic, he stands out in bold relief, a
striking contrast to those whose
only object seems to be to punish
the sins of the rebellion. We never
hear u Southern officer or soldier
speak OF him otherwise than to
praise him, and though he has dis
tinctly avowel his opposition to
Zen. Grant and the Radical party,
they dare not malign him or en-
deavor TO falsely the record of his
career. In his char acter tho civil
ian and soldier are happily pleaded
he can bear tho sword or the olive
|, branch alike with honor to him
self and credit to the country.
The open endorsement OF Judge
Black, Of Pennsylvania, is significant
. of his fitness for Presidential honors
-. aud we believe the South could Nl.
y on him, moro unitedly than any
other yot spoken of in that connec.
ton, We add from the New York
!. Herald portion Of its remarks on
this subjcet:
Ono notable fact is that Hancock
I was almost the universal nomine,
among the delegates for the mex
Presidency. Pennsylvania has :
t:ndcrncss for that gallant o Of
thers, and as she has had no Pres
ideht snce Old Back, and "does'nt
