Hon. Alexander III. Stcpheps.

The North Is giving undue impor-
lance 10 the political views Of Mr..
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. He Is
far indeed from being q representa-
tive man of the present day of the
Southern people: The New Orleans
Times truly remarks that during the
years he has been confined within the
limitsofa sick chamber, shut out from
that broad field Of conta It and Obser-
walton necessary for modern states
manship, the world has quietly passed
by Mr.. STEPHENS, and left him nurs-
ing theories born of dead issues and
conditions, which now only exist in
history. Asst to the active enlighten.
ment of the day, when events and
and measures move with a speed and
Iromptitude unknownin earlier times,
Mr.. STEPHENS Is as insensitle IS q
lisping babe, is to Greek roots. Never
a man of decided opinion; like Lamar
tine, always unequal SO emergencies
when he had achieved them, querul-
GUS, disconnected and patronizing, the
South has neither ne, d nor desire of
such leaders. His warnings and theo-
rizings come across the fresher fields
of politics like echoes from a grave
yard. The world has ceased to give
credit to the 81 told you SOL species of
wisdom, and regards with feelings of
indifference akin to contempt, the
"might have BEEN" Our eyes are
turned and upward, and are not set
over our shoulders like those of Mr..
STEPHENS. Let the Northern papers
understand this while perusjug his
lamentations, scarcely less lugubrious
than those of JEREMIAH.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
Two Men suffoeated by Foul All,

The Newark Advertiser of last evening says
"About half-pastl9 o'clock this forenoon two
men were suffocated by carbonic acid gas, or
what is commonly called foul air, at Fehlei-
sens brewery. 1t appears that lager beer, in
the process of manufacture, is kept for time
in large tanks of some eighty or ninety bar
rels capacity, and that after the beer is drawn
out of these tanks it contains carbonic acid gas
sufficient Ths fact to destroy thSwD life instantly st s
employees about establishments of this charac-
ter and the man. holes or trap-doors OF top
of the tanks, are Immediately opened after the
beer is Withdrawn, and so left until the gas
escapes, and workmen go down into them and
clean them out. This precaution was in this
instance neglected by Louis Scblehner, man
who had been in Mr.. Fehlesen's employ but
eight days. and although warned by Frederick
WitZick, another employe, not to enter the tank
until he tested the air in it with lighted CANDLE
he entered the man-hole, and almost Immediately
uttered an agonizing cry.
''The engineer Max Albrecht, hearing the
mans despairing cry, fastened to the tank in
the hope of rescuing him, and climbing to the
top of the tank reached his hands down the
man-hole to help the unfortunate sufferer out.
Both of his hands were Immediately clasped in
those of the strangling man at the bottom of the
tank, whose dying agonies lent additional power
to his grasp and he too lost his balance and fell
into the cavern of death.
"The alarm was Immediately given through
out the brewery, and Mr.. Fehleisen and the en-
ployes of the brewery fastened to the tank and
made every possible effort to save the men, but,
the men taken out in a few moments, their
blackened faces, glazed eyes, and distorted fea-
lures showed that the deadly gas had done its
work.
