Col. James Fisk, Jr., who " as present at the
recent celebration of the battle of Bennington.
at Bennington, VT, was called for by some per
sons in the crowd, but when he came forward
the President of the day, Gov. Stewart, and
other gentlemen LETT the platform, entered their
carriages and drove away.
In two journals, one Southern and one Wes
tern, of last weeks date, we find these two
paragraphs:-"Col. r Macyntire, riding out ON
government service, had narrow escape from
death on Wednesday, having come in contact
with a flash of lightning" "a loaded boat
was sunk at the lower bridge last night. The
act was undoubtedly committed by an incen-.
diary" Who says the English is not a won
derful language?
That was terrible revenge adopted by ten
year old boy in Lynxburg Wis, a few DAYS
since, if we may believe the story told by the
Lacrosse Republican. His mother chastised
him for some offence, and the indgnity of the
punishment SO ranked in the lads mind that
he sought relief in death, to secure which he
hung himself to tree not far from the house.
His mother, unfortunately, as it turned out.
saw him before he was entirely strangled and
cut him down. The same evening, however,
the boy proceeded to kindle fire with kero-
sene, and after calling the other children about
him, poured the oil from the can on the fire
when an explosion ensued and all of them per-
ished in the most excruciating torture.
The reports of louisiana in regard to the

They will joke in New York even about the

Tended on the ground that they were ordered
for the purpose of "cutting down excessive APP
preparations"

The SUCCESS OF THE NEW LOAN The Til
6atne, in an editorial on the success of the new
load in Europe las the following: Mr.. Bout
well has practically effected the conversion of
two hundred millions of our $50 6's into ten
year ives, an operation which Ereduces the
burden of the national debt by two millions of
dollars per aunum.
He does this at time when France is bor-
rowing all she can on fives at heavy discount,
her loans, of course, coming right in the way of
ours.
There are not three governments in Europe
that could sell two hundred million of ten year
lives at par; and remember that our national
debt is still considerably over two Thousand
millions, and that we have great party in the
country. which, through a resolve of its last
National Convention, stands pledged to swim
die our bondhOders out of at least half of their
honest dues. Mr.. Boutwell, has succeeded in
funding his two hundred millions in spite of
the hostility in Europe and COpperhead malig-
nifty at home, and now if he will withdraw all
the loans at present authorized, except the A
per cent, and obtain from Congress power to
sell one thousand to fifteen hundred millions of
that having thirty, forty, or fifty years to run
we are confident that he may save enough in
interest to pay OFT the entire debt, including the
discount on his bonds, within the next forty
years.
Let him stipulate that the two per cent thus
saved in interest shall be sacrediy devoted to
buying up and cancelling the principal of this
loan, provided it can be bought at or below par.
Let the interest be paid quarterly and in,Lon-
don, Amsterdam, or Frankfort, if desired, with
out tax or deduction OF any kind, and we are
confident that some great banking house would
take the entire loan at 95, and that it would
rise to par within 5 years. and within per
cent of it within one year after it had been
placed. We can thus pay the last dime of our
debt within 40 years, yet take off SO millions of
our taxes next winter, and 30 more within
three years thereafter

LOUISIANA.
Explanatory of the Custo ON House Com
VeufiOn.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Collector Casey and
United States Marshal Packard have issued an
address to the public, embodying their expla.
nation of the Custom House convention at
New Orleans; They charge the Yarmouth
party with bribery, corruption and threats of
assassination. They further charge that nc
place of meeting had been named in the
call for the convention, Gov. Yarmouth having
engaged every public hall fit for the purpose in
the city, with the intention of forcing the con-
vention to meet in some place where he could
control it.
Accordingly they selected the Custom House,
and engaged the United States troops to pro-
tect it, and then they state that the convention
was called for twelve O'clock and that the gov
e-nor and his friends were not admitted be-
cause they were an hour and three quarters
ahead of time In conclusion they assert that
the propriety of their action is indicated by
the assertion of the police captains, that if the
military had not bee present tine police would
have invaded the building and let loose the
Thugs and rowdies to make general clearing
out of all inside.
