RnrLER ANp MASSACHUSETTS.

Massachusetts Radicals have refused
to swallow that compound cathartie pill
Ben. Butler. This surprises us, because
Butler has led the party that made all
the mischief of late years, and Massa-
chusetts, as if to outrage all sense OF
public decency, has given him to the
country, aye, and to the world. The
nomination of the Radical convention
Yesterday fell on Washburne. What
particular Washburne he is, we do
not know; but as you cannot
turn a corner anywhere without run
ming against Washburne, it does not
matter. 1t is enough that his name is
Washburne. There is Washburne in
Paris, as American Minister, Wash
burne running for Governor of Wiseon-
sin, and how many of the tribe are in
Congress, we now forget. Washburne is
universal. Wherever an office is to be
disposed Of Washburne turns up. You
can neither cross nor go around them.
They are PERCEPTIONS and far. We be-
heve that no attempt has been made to
tunnel them. And we are very glad that
one of the tribe has beaten the American
Haynau. We do not comprehend the
distaste Massachusetts, msnifests for
Butler. Certainly there is not an act in
his career since 1861 that she does not
indorse. As to decency, why, she is
foolish, frivolous in eating the dirt, and
Ainging aside the singer of it. And
Butler, after his stormy contest for the
nomination, acquiesces in Washburne,
bows to Washburneism, and goes to the
dogs, to their infinite disgust.

Mental Dependency OF Francis
Joseph.
COMPLETE DISSOLUTION OF THE
EMPIRE THREATENED.
Progress of Democratic Senti-
ments In Europe.
AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, September 2S.-The city was
seriously agitated yesterday by the pre-
valence of a rumor, which is freely cir
culated, to the effect that the Emperor
is seriously disposed to abdicate the
throne. The cause which is alleged as
more Immediately influencing his
mind in this direction, is mental de-
spondency, arising from a conscious
conviction of his personal unfitness to
grapple with the constitutional crisis
which has matured under his rule, and
which threatens sudden and complete
dissolution of the Empire. 1t is said
that the mind of the Emperor has be-
come confused by the constant clamor
of the many and diverse political claims
which are presented to him hourly by
leaders of various nationalities subject
to his rule, and that this confusion has
been rendered more intense by re-
cent review of the financial and military
condition of the Empire, coupled with
the cabinet annoyances which he has
experienced from the peculiar condition
of his governments relation to the Holy
See.
Francis Joseph is personally respect
ed, if not actually beloved, by his peo-
pie, and his Empress (Elizabeth) is
exceedingly popular. His Majesty is
forty-eight years of age, and should
be in possession of the full vigor of his
intellect. 1t has been frequently re-
marked, however, during the past few
years that he was gradually becoming
gloomy in mind and disposed to retire
ment, both from the presence of the
members of his family and State coun-
sellers and the intimacy of his more i'm
mediate acquaintances. The rumor Of
his intention to abdicate is accepted as
evidence of the progress of democratic
sentiments in Europe.

EXTREMES AND CONTRASTS.

About eighteen or twenty years ago
in a certain village in Mississippi, two
little boys played daily together in the
streets. They were, apparently, OF the
same age, and formed for each other an
attachment that has never been broken
and probably never interrupted. They
were handsome, intelligent, amiable'
.good and in every respect little gentle
men. They were only sons, and were
idolized by their respective parents.
Every proper indulgence was allowed
them, but the gentleness of their natures
remained. They attended the same
schools, pursued the same studies ana
grew to manhood true to one another
and to the world. One adopted the pro-
fession of law, and is, perhaps, the most
rising young man in the State. DE is
heard with attention in the Supreme
Court, and never fails to elicit compli-
ments from bar that, for talent learn
ing and eloquence, is unsurpassed in the
United States. The other went into
the mercantile line, and by his indus
try, tact, strong business sense,
and his integrity, succeeded. he
is an accomplished business man.. Some
three years since he married lady OF
rare beauty, accomplishments and worth,
and began in earnest that struggle OF
life which manhood cannot escape,
though the early years be smooth and
the prospect be unclouded. These young
men met in this city yesterday, but un-
der circumstances that make contrast
rarely seen in the course Of lifetime.
The lawyer was married in the morning
to one of the loveliest daughters OF Mis-
sissippi, and was on bridal tour He
had never boon happier. 1t was the cul-
mination of his life star. All the world
had changed. Everywhere there was
brightness, but brightest and best of all
was the being who had given him her
love and confded to him the control of
her destiny. The merchant came also
yesterday, but broken and bowed with
grief for the day previous he
had buried his wife-buried all he
loved on earth, and flying from the
sick room and the fresh grave, sought
among strangers and noisy world, but
sought in vain, some little light to break
through the gloom that hung round his
broken heart. His form that WAS fine,
his face that was almost beautiful, had
changed. There was an agony in his
features that strangers could not over
look. His aspect was that of utter de-
SPAR. And this is lifel The little boys
grew to be men and separated. They
met, but under circumstances remarka-
BILE enough to suggest a contrast we deem
worthy of record here. One was at
the hight of his happiness-the highest
that life can produce. The other was
at the other extreme. One had just
married the woman of his heart. The
other had just buried the being who had
been the brightness of his life for three
years. Thus far on the highway of ex-
istencel What is to come next?

JAIL ESCAPE.
Five Negro Prisoners Run from the
Guards and Get Away.

Five Negro Prisoners Run from the
Guards and Get Away.
Under an order of the Court the
jailer of the county prison has been
permitted to take out eight prisoners to
Wolf river, in order to pump water into
the tank which supplies the prison. This
morning at ten o'clock Jail guards Ben
Carrot and Mr.. Agnew took out eight
prisoners, FIVE of whom escaped. During
the prevalence of low water in the river
it becomes necessary to use the pumps
at Wolf river.
The prisoners who escaped were as
follows: John Baxter, charge petit lar
ceny; Jack Singleton grand larceny;
Monroe Williams, cotton stealing; Willis
Harris, grand larceny; Joe Wallace, car
rying concealed weapons. The prison
ers performed the necessary work at
the pumps, and the order was given to
return. One Of them broke like q
quarter-horse, ran on board an old ferry
boat moored near by, and plunged into
the river Guard Garrett fred at him
as he was swimming the river, and as
he assembled the bank on the other side
shot him in the back. He fell, but
clambered up and escaped. While this
was progressing, four others broke and
ran in different directions towards the
city. The other guerd-Mr Agnew-
emptied his pistol at them as they fled.
The three other prisoners made no eff
fort to escape, and were carried back to
prison. Captain Garrett crossed over
Wolf river, and found blood for some
distance, but the negro had hid away
in the swamp. The four others disap-
peared up the streets and alleys of the
city.
The police vera notified at once and a
squad of mounted police, headed by
Chief 0'Donnell, Captain Athey Sar-
geant Wetherford and officer Shelby,
went in pursuit of the fugitives. Up to
one clock no arrests had been made,
but as the police had not returned up to
that hour it was evident they we're in hot
pursuit of the jail.breakers. 1t is more
than probable that before night they
will be recaptured by the officers and
returned to their cells. Guards Carrot
and Agnew emptied their pistols without
effect except as to the negro that crossed
the river. He will be found no doubt in
q dying condition. Tomorrow eight
other prisoners will have to do pump
service at Wolf river, but measures will
be taken to prevent recurrence of the
stampede.
The prisoners seeing no chance to es-
cape from the Jail under the new regu-
lations made by Sheriff Wright and
Jailer Jackson, took advantage Of the
pumping privilege accorded to them and
struck for freedom.

MAYORS OFPIoE, September 81, 1871.
Gentlemen of the General Council:
/ have called you together for the pur-
pose of awarding the contract for grad
ing the levee, which is of great import
ance to our business men, and should be
ready for their use before the busy sea
son fairly opens to trade; action on the

THos. MoFFET, Mayor pro TEN.
The chairman of the Elevator Com
mittee of the Council read the report
and the contract between the Elevator
Company and the city, as prepared by
City Attorney Randolph. 1.-THE report
and contract are quite lengthy, and will
be published ofiicially] The joint ses-
sion then closed and a meeting Of the
Common Council ives held. An attempt
was made to TACK on several amend
ments, which failed. After many hours

instructed not to sign the contract until
the approved plans and specifications
were submitted.
The following resolution was referred

Resolved, That the Mayor he empow-
cred with authority to sign contracts for
grading the levee from the north side Of

Council for acceptance. That Central
Landing be graded Immediately suitable
for a steamboat landing, and that the
wharfmaster be instructed and empower
ed to procure the necessary labor 70
have the said grading Of Central Land
ing completed within the next twenty
days from the date hereof.
The Council then adjourned over to
the next regular meeting.
