THE ICE GORGE.

Ravagef OF the Flood In tho Upper Della
ware Region-Loss Of Property and
Melancholy Drowning OF Three Per-
sons-Names OF the Deceased and Par
ticulars - the Accident--Erozen to
Death While Struggling for Life.
P0Rr JERvIs, N. Y, Jan. 25, 1873.
Accounts of the ravages OF the late ice food in
this region are still received now from the upper
Delaware regions. The many tributaries OF the
Delaware River in the county of that name, drain
ing the extensive lumber districts thereabouts,
have all been terribly swollen and large amounts
Of lumber carried away by the floods. Dams have
been destroyed and roads obstructed by immense
deposits Of ice, left by the recedlng water.
The most painful news from those regions is the
drowning Of three persons in the Little Delaware
River by being carried of of bridge in sleigh
while crossing the stream about ten O'Clock on the
night OF the breaking up.
.ftA NAMES OF THE DECEASED.
These were DR.. o. B. Maynard and wife, of Lansing
ville Delaware county, and Mrs. Jennie Darlington,
Of Hamden. The latter was sister of Hon. William
NJ. Lewis, and were all prominent resdentsof the
county The Doctor and his young wife, she being but
eighteen years OF age, had been to the village OF
Hamden, attending donation visit, and were re-
turning home, accompanied by Mrs. Darlington.
They left Hamden about ten O'Clock in the evening;
but, not having arrived at their home the next
morning, anu nothing having been heard or them
since they left the former place, search was at once
commenced for them. bridge near Hamden,
over which the road they took necessarily led
them, was found to be overfowed by the food Of
ice and water, and 1t was at once supposed that
DR.. Maynards sleigh had been swept away while
crossing IT, o..
THE SEARCH.
Several boats were at once manned and a care
fuf seafchs instituted in the ice and along the
shores. A half mile or so down the river the horse
and cutter were found. the former tied to
q tree. They had been discovered noating
along the shore by Mr.. Bush and
taken out No signs Of any Of the bodies were
found until the morning Of the next day, when
that OF Mrs. Darlington was found half mile or so
below the bridge, in four feet Of water caught by
her clothing on some projecting roots There were
no bruises upon the body. Shortly afterwards DR..
Maynard's body was found on an Island mile fur
ther down. He had grasped hold OF a clump Of
willows, and was nearly out OF the water, showing
that he had endeavored to draw himself out but,
overcome by exhaustion, had failed, and was
frozen to death.
The search for the body Of the Doctor's.w wife has
been continued ever since, but up to yesterday 1t
had not been found. 1t has probably been carried
into the main Delaware In which event it has been
undoubtedly torn to pieces by the tanning Ice.
The bodies Of Mrs. Darlington and Dr. Maynard
were taken in charge by their respective friends,
and their funerals were attended by the entire
community

a uERITED feERUKE.

The Philadelphia North 1merican
ly Radical paper, administers the fol-
lowing contemptuous rebuke to those
of our Southern papers that have
manifested such uneasine9s lest Mr..
Davis' speeches should stir up the
bile of our Northern brethren against
us. Tho Southern people may rest as
surcd that when they tr11ckle to the
Northern people they will gain nothing
save contempt. The Gazette says:
Jefferson Davis recent political
speech has created quite a ferment,
and all the Democratic organs at the
South regard it as 'indiscreet. Tho
Republicans ought to engage him
on salary to 90 lccturing all over the
country, for certainly no Republican
orator can make as many Republican
votes rs one speech from Davis.
He has only to mount the stump and
blow off steam in the usual style,
and Mt once the CONSERVATIVE" journ-
ais shiver and shake and their teeth
chatter as though they had an ague.
The difference between them seems to
he that if they could get a chance they
wonld try to carry out the policy that
he announces, only he says frankly
what he means, while they seek the
same object by the dark lantern pro-
cess. Let them possess their souls in
peace. The Republicans do not fear
anything Jefferson Davis or his friends
may say or do. In this free country
we can afford to let men say and do
things that in Europe wonld not be
tolerated for moment, and it is. this
universal freedom that deprives scdi-
tions traitors of the power to work
mischief. We hope they will oil avail
themselves of the same freedom that
Davis has and speak out honestly. In
plain words, let them unmask. The
Republicans do not fear any opon Goes
It is only the concealed ones that give
them uneasiness. They may propagate
dissent of any kind and brag and vapo1
and regret the Lost Cause and prophe
cy its final triumph, but if they dare to
take the field again the Republicans
will not be answerable for the conse
quences.

CAPITAL. vs.. LABOR.

The Nashville tHiOIt says: '"The Old
fobt between capital and labor is again
loomine up and getting into shape.
The Republican party represents the
oonital whether III railroads, banks,
honds stocks or manufacturing, and
will nsc it to maintain power. Labor
oroouiZatiOns. farmers movements
and oranges are the premOnitory
symptoms of the general npheaval
which is approaching. Labor will
triumph in the end. but the struggle
will be severe
The Union correctly st ttes the issue,
saws the Savannah NCtUs, but the diff
entities of the situation, and the uncer-
tlillty of the result, are increased by
the fact that the capitalists and mo-
unpolia.s are allied with the ignorance
and vagabOndism of the country
apainst honest labOrcrs and nOn-Oflic3
holding taxpayers. This alliance IS
based on the Pennsylvania principle of
division, the mOnopolists being content
that the rabblc shall hold the offices
for NIL time, provided the Govern
mcnt aids and protects them III their
schemes of robbery and plnnder. The
hope of the country is i'll the Demo-
cratic party, with the labor organiza-
tinns and the farmers oranges, but the
rcanlt Of the struggle is not so ccrtain.

HOW THEY EXPECT TO WIN.

The Albany fry,ts says The Re-
publican party has assumed several
attitudes before tho country. First, it
was an Abolition party. Next, it was
a party of Conquest. Then, it was
party of Negro reimbursement and
White disfranchisement Now, it is
party of Negro supremacy, Imperial
assumptions of power, Land and Sal
aTy grabbing proclivities, Monopoly
favoritisln and extortiOnate taxation.
It docs not go before the people, how
ever, in defence of it's present methods
of administration, and it therefore
seeks to keep the favor of the people
by continuing its crusade against
slavery, rebellion and rebels. But
there are no shareholders now. The
blacks are masters and the Federal
bayOnet is supreme; so that when the
votes of the one fail, the force of the
other will succeed. And yet the or
gans of the Administration dare not
meet the living issue. The old slaves
are now the masters ; the old rebels
are now the conquered and the plum
lcrers have it all thoir own way. And
they hope to keep it, not by making
good use of their power, but by cry
ing, "Down with Slavery" ''Down
with Rebellion" 'Down with Trait
ors," Cup with the Blacks" But the
people, seeing that oil this has been
ef1ectually done already, will pay no
attention to these harangucs. Their
| cry is, ''DowN WITH THE PLUNDERERs.
| INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY THE
| QUALIFICATIONS FOR OpPICE." And oil
frenzied attempts to revive old preJu-
| dicea and dead issues will fail.

The New York ikeraid says: We
apprahend that silence. instead of such
fire brands III these from Mr.. Davis at
this time. would have been cheaply
purchased by the Southern people in
the outlay of million of money and
we entirely concur in the opinion OF fl
Charleston contemporary. which is to
tho effect that if Mr.. Davis cannot
open his mouth without putting his
foot in it he will best serve the cause
and the interests of the South by keep
ing it shut.
Just so. Your true Yank never does
moro then to ask himself "what will
it cost, what will it pay" and whether
Mr.. Davis ought to speak or ought to
remain silent is purely "business
transaction!
We are not prepared to give any
opinion this morning upon the grave
allegation that tho late President of
the late Southern Confedcracy "cannot
open his mouth without putting his
foot in it," If it be trne it must be
exceeding disagreeable to Mr.. Davis.

WHAT DOES RI "IEAN i-pElt-
IkH,S LAST LIE.

Mr.. Supervisor Perry, commonly
known as Long Perry" says that
most of the Conservative newspapers
in the State encourage people i'll the
perpetratiOn of hostile and malicious
acts of resistance to Revenue and
law, and the question is what does it
mean? There is no election pending
in this State, no votes to be made or
silenced; in short, everything is quiet
and peaceable, except when revenue
officer and his party happens to go out
and shoot some body rs in the case of
Deputy Marshal Deaver, and except oc-
casionally when mon get into private
brawls as they are daily doing in other
parts of tho planet, blessed by the best
government the world ever saw.
There was n time in the history of
other countries ut least, when it was n
fnvoritc, though not legal amuse-
ment, for people to go out and shoot
Revenue officers. But we have changed
all that, and Revenue officers now
nmnso themselves by shooting the
people. And then to crown all, Mr..
Supervisor Perry gravely reports to
Head Quarters, ut Washington City.
that the people in the district are hos
tile in their feelings toward him and
his snborlinates, and that the Con-
A,+rvative Press of the State encourage
them therein How refreshing
It is rather thin, Mr.. Perry !!
The Federal Government dare not
take yo1r suborlinates from the
clutches of the civil State law. The
Grand Jury of Mcdowell comfy has
indicted them and they must be tried.
President Grant cannot save D"pnty
Marshal Deaver and his party harm
less from the penalty of the law for
wantonly shooting yonng Gar1in with
out taking n longer stride in Cnsarism
than he cares to take just now.
It may be pleasant for Revenue
officers to amnse themselves by wan-
tonly shooting citizens, but it is not
quite safe to do SO at this particular
stage of the game-a few years ago it
wonid have been unnoticed, and it
may be that such a thing will he I'M
noticed a few years hence-but Just
now it would be well for Revenue
officers to be careful how they shoot.
