The Pennsylvania Democratic conven'

favorably on the record. Two of their rep

Reunion at Bridgeport.

4 reunion of veterans of the Siath,
Twelfth and Thirteenth Reg giments OF Con
necticut volunteers was held at Bridgeport,
Connecticut, On Thursday, the twenty first
instant. These regiments served in this
department during the war, and most Of
their "reminiscences centre around the city
of New Orleans and the State Of Louisiana.
There were three hundred of the survivors
present at the reunion. Nearly double
tina. number Of members Of the brigade
are buried at Chalmette Cemetery, below
this city.
At the meeting several speeches were
made and letters read. Perhaps the most
suggestive feature of the meeting was a
letter from William Wright. of New Or

brigade are inviteds to consider the project
of erecting . monument to Connecticut

4 Fight With DesperadOes on n Train In
Missouri.

On the night Of August 90 = gang of ruff
fans, eight or ten in number. invaded \
train on the Missouri Pacific Railroad
bound for Kansas City from st. Louis. The
train was within four miles OF Holden at
the time. and aad temporarily stopped for
the purpose of having some distractions
which were found on the track removed.
These distractions were placed there by
the gang mentioned with the view OF throw
ing the train from the track. for no sooner
had the cars come to . halt than they
boarded the rear car. When the train
started the conductor entered the car in
which they were and demanded their
fares. They refused TO pay. giving as a
reason that they were . vigilance com
m:ttea in search Of horse thieves. and
declaring their purporse to search the
passengers. The conductor told them
that unless they could show their
authority they could not search anybody
on tha. train, whsreupOn the fuffians swore
that they would, drew their weapons, and
said that they were prepared Zach snan
was armed with two navy revOlver-, and
as affairs began TO assume threatening
aspect the conductor turned 10 the passen-
gers. declared that the purpose of the gang
was robbery, and said that if enough Of the
passengers were armed and would stand by
him he would prevent the design OF the
ruttians. Immediately the passengers to
the num- Der of fifteen drew revolver. and
anged themselves with the conductor. The
women and the children hurried from the
car, and the field was left clear for what
promi. .ed to be desperate encounter. But
at the sight OF the ,evOlveys in the hands
OF the passengers the 6esperadoes tinched
and began parley among themselves. Be
fore they had decided upon what course to
pursue the train reached Holden. Here
the gang proposed to leave the car in q
body. followed by the passengers. wins
were fearful tina. they might fire upon
them through the windows. AS they reached
the platform one OF the gang turned and
commenced to curse the passengers, saying
that they dared not shoot, accusing them
of being accompliees OF horse thieves. etc.
Then he made q motion as if 10 draw re-
volver. which was strapped to his hip As
he did one Of the passengers shot him
down in his tracks. His companions turned
10 fee. and shower of balls was sent after
them wouDding another. who also dropped.
The passengers then laid the dead desperate
upon plank at the stationhOuse, placing z
his revolver upon his breast, and resumed
their places on the train, which rapidly
sped away on its way to Independence.
The conductor says that this was the third
time that similar gang had boarded his
train with intentions of robbery. The
ruffians are believed TO be the remnants of
the old bush whackers who, during the war

New Orleans Republican., 1873-08-29

The authorities of the State Cnivera:tr,
in their effort 70 maintain the institution
without State aid, desire the sympathy and
support of the citizens of Louisiana. New
Orleans should give the university good
patronage; and each parish should send it
one or more cadets. No good reason exists
for sending hundreds of young men out of
Louisiana every year to be educated. The
large amount of money thus taken away
from an impoverished people would soon
build up good schools here at home. The
university at Baton Rouge has a healthy
location, large faculty, good library,
apparatus and cabinets; and We hope the
institution will resume its exercises on the
first Monday in October with large mum
Der of cadets, as it richly deserves.

Polytechnic Institute for COlOved Youth
The Courier-.yoHynoi states:

There was a charter obtained s0me time
ago for a polytechnic institute for colored
youth. and We believe an organization OF
the corporators was effected by the election
Of board of directors. a subscription list
was started to raise funds TO establish the
institution. and we believe that some money
was raised in that way, but we are unable
to say how much, or whether it was ever
applied to any purpose connected with the
enterprise if, indeed. there was enough
raised to make q start. We are unable to
say.
Such an institution would be very useful
in all the Southern States. and we would
be glad if some philanthropist taking an
interest in the emancipation Of the colored
people would now do something to aid IN
finding him employment.

State line in condition of intermittent un-
easiness Is a quantity Of State bonds which
the evil genius of the Mississippians-we
believe it was jeff Dsvis-led them to repu-
diate several years ago. More than once
since that unfortunate day our neighbors
have been driven almost into fever at the
suggestion that one Of these days the State
would be compelled to become honest and
pay up the debt she 50 wickedly refused to
pay then. Therefore. when Congressman
Butler, of Massachusetts,, addressed lletle
note Of inquiry regarding the State indebt-
edness, the Mssissippian.. from Governor
Powers down, became seriously alarmed
The note read as follows:

as near as you can, what is the debt of your
