wife, and was swimming around. He tried to
touch bottom. but was scared. I called to.him
and helped pull him ashore. I was in water
quite a while, and did all I could. Another
man named Frank, from Dixon, went through
with me, and also helped to save some other
people"
The scene under the water was described as
terrible, the whole mass of $50 or 200 persons
being engaged in one grand, awful struggle
for life. 1t passes imagination to picture the
horrors of that subaqueous fight, the grimness
of which was not lessened by the frantic strug-
giles of the horses attached to buggies which
were thrown off the bridge to make their way
to shore. Young Armstrong, raised on st. 10
river, and at home in the water, shuddered as
he spoke of it's CHASTITY horrors. MAY
never see such a sight again; good Cod!
was his closing remark.

what was known as the "arbitrary rule"

A most touching story comes to Us in
Western exchange, concerning q lady
in Kentucky, who was stricken with q
sudden failing OF the optic nerve, and
was told that she could not retain her
sight more than few days at most, and
vas liable to be totally deprived OF it at
any moment. She returned to her home,
quietly made such arrangements as would
occur to any one about to commence 80
dark q journey Of life. and then had her
two children, attired in their brightest
costumes, brought before her; and so,
with their little faces lifted to hers. and
tears gathering for the great misfortune
they hardly realized, tue light faded out

'MA1IoN. For. every white, OF black man
killed in Louisiana. for every outrage
perpetrated lin II that State, for murder,
arson, riot and anarchy, for the disgtace-
fui position We stand in before the world
as nation, incapable. for eight years
after the insurgents had laid down their
arms, OF supptessing rebellion which
had well-nigh exhausted itself by four
years OF open warfare, the late Congress
is directly responsible. The President
gave Congress ample time to consider
tho unhappy condition Of Louisiana; i;
the course he had taken was known by
the whole country, and that course, he
intlmated plainly enough, he should per-
seVoro n, unless Congress interviewed by
some act Of its own to prevent.
The subject was looked into by q com-
mlttee, whioh-Senators Of Gen. Grants
own party ooncurring-reported that the
Kellogg government was a usurpation,
and that there ought to be new e.ec-
ton. But Congress did nothing, and
the President choosing not to heed the
intimation that the report OF the com
mittee gave him, now uses the power of
the Federal Government to uphold the
usurped government Of q State. II he
meant to do right, Congress- neglected to
give him the authority; il he meant to
do wrong. they left him in entire free
dom to follow the bent of a perverse in
olination.
We suppose. however. now we shall
have sosse nent OF affairs in Louisiana
the sort OF settlement that despotism
always gives. How permanent it will
be, how much it will tend to tranquiIize
the South. subdue the rebel element and
bring Us all in accord in an indivisible
Union OF States, is another question.
