LOSS OF LIFE AT NIAGARA FALLS.

Yesterdays dispatches give an account OF
painter falling from soaffold where he
was at work, and catching upon rock near
the edge of the falls, where he was still hang
ing in this perilous situation, causing great
excitement in the vicinity. Judging from
all attempts to rescue persons in similar stu
atOns, at the falls before, the probability is
that he has not been, and will not be, saved !;
and it occurs to us, in consequence Of such
things happening there 80 often, and the
value Of lives lost for want Of some mode of
extrication Of parties from such dangers, that
the citizens Of the fails could and should
provide some remedy for such evils.
AS one means, it occurs to US chat q small
balloon, capable Of sustaining the weight Of
two or three persons, and kept in readiness
for the purpose, so as to be speedily inflated
with gas, or smoke, if more convenient,
could be used etfectually to save life wht
imperrilled as in the above case. The bal
loon might be kept at the foot Of one Of the
islands in the river above the rapids, and
provided with ballast and long ropes, to one
of which should be attached seats, hung out
so as to reach the imperrilled parties as
soon as the balloon gets Immediately over
them.
The other ropes could be used in direct
ing the balloon so as to bring 1t to any de-
sired position for the relief Of the parties,
who, after the rope with the seats for them
is in their hands, could throw out the bal
last from the balloon drawn down to them
by means of the rope itself aud those ex-
tending to the shores and thus be rescued.
Some such plan as this, it strikes us, would
he easy aud etfectual in saving life under
such circumstances, and if 50, is certainly
worthy of the consideration of the citizens
of the place. even if single life is thereby
saved.

THE RAG OFF THE BUSH.
The Soda Water Riot.

One N. D. Bush, who enjoys the felicity OF
commanding the Third Regiment Louisiana
State National Guard, composed Of negroes,
published a card in the Republican yestcr
day, in which he states that the whole state
ment Published in the BULLETIN, about the
late outrage Of the militia, is untrue.
We have thoroughly followed up this
outrage and the details We gave are not
near so gross as we now discover the truth
is. We must acknowledge this man Bush
tells the truth when he says the militia did
not visit Chalmette, for we have since
learned such was the case, but beyond this
Bush has not been so successful. The crowd
Of negroes after they had been refused soda
at MIR. Meyers, grew very demonstrative
and called out "that the Civil Right bill
had passed, and we've done got our rights
and were as good as white men now"
Several ladies, who were in the drug store,
became alarmed and rushed out and the
sidewalk was completely blocked by the
crowd, and but for Mr.. Rohbuck's quiet and
cool manner serious difficulty would have
occurred. Messrs. Chism, of the firm of
Chism 4 Boyd, Mr.. Patton, Mr.. A. Thorn
son, John Danahay, Mr. Meyers and J. NJ.
Rohbuck will testify to this. Bush may be
a fine captain, but he doesn't get up facts
worth a cent.

THE NEW STATE-HOUSE.

The evening Picayune and Times, Of yes
day, contain the full official proceedings of
the lease of the St. Louis Hote made by
Kellogg with the New Orleans Building
Association, represented by George z. Ben
ham. The BULLETIN not being in favor
with the "powers that be-" and not having
the confidence of the "rirg" that proposes
to rob the State, was not favored with
copies of the official documents. Hence We
were unable to & We our readers such par
ticulars which the superi-r facilities en-
joyed by our contemporaries enabled them
to furnish their readers
We regret these enterprisng journals
were not so active and prompt in exposing
and denouncing this swindle as they have
been in publishing its utter dofeat-a work
accomplished solely by the BULLETIN. They
are welcome to record in this hattering
manner the magnificent success OF our ef-
forts on behalf of the taxpayers of the
State. Having been defeated in robbing the
State out of $95OOOO, Kellogg and his ring
are now driven to modify the famous lease
in a very material manner. Instead of a
lease for nineteen years at $4,000 per an
mum, the St. Louis Hotel has been rented
for only five months or until the LIST Of jan
uary, at the rate Of $4,000 per annum
For SO much saving on this job let the tax
payers and the people thank the BULLETIN.

WRONG AGAIN.

Mr.. f. C. Vankirk, Of the Metropolitan
Police, initiating the example of his chief
rushes into print to vindicate himself
against some comments made upon his Off
cial conduct. This is the second time this
official has rushed wildly, recklessly and
stupidity into print, but on this occasion
through the columns Of the Times. He evil
IDENTIFY is seeking fame, and having fAilcd to
acquire it in a legitimate way, is deter
mined to have it by attaching his name to
stupid cards-more remarkable for their
braggadociO character than for truth or
good manners.
The first rebuke administered this police
sergeant by the BULLETIN some days ago,
should have admonished him Of the futility
Of attempting to contradict statements made
by this paper. As he was overwhelmed in
the first instance, so we propose to annihi-
late him again, by the publication Of the
following certificate, with this simple re-
mark, that these gentlemen will at any time
poses to exhibit his boosted bravery:

THE SECOND STREET MARKET.

+ In all large cities there are always Ger
tain trade ceAtres towards which it seems
by some natural law business drifts. There
can hardly be any possibility of ones Sc
Letting the sites of these points, but as if by
some common impulse people begin to flock
about it, improvements are rapidly put up
and brisk trade is established where per-
haps before there was nothing but vacant
squares.
As remarkable instance of this, stands out
the new Second Street Market, at the corner
Of that street and Dryades. The far-seeing
business eye of Mr.. Joseph Raymond ap-
preciated the necessities of the surrounding
population, and he, with that energy and
vim so characteristic of him, set about the
building of new neighborhood and mar
ket
To one who has not visited the spot since
the building has been completed, it would
almost seem impossible that such improve
ment could have been made in locality
where before only the sward grass of vacant
squares grew. The market, built in a neat
anu yoe oiuduoHlou sly 10, PIcooAlo Oh dp
propriate picture for the center of this
growing city within city. The roof is
very high from the ground, supported on
long rows of iron columns, affording the
most thorough ventilation.
The stalls, of which there are one hundred
and sixty-four, are large and substantially
built, and neatly painted. Every convent
ence is at hand to clean and keep clean the
stone tagging. And full supply of water
in case of fire is to be obtained from the fire
plugs in the neighborhood. About the mar
ket, a large number Of stores have been put
up, and thriving trade is now being done,
as the people from large section make all
their purchases here
Property has already advanced over two
hundred per cent, and few care to sell, APP
preciating further advance. To-day the re-
venues of the market will be sold, and if we
are not very much mistaken, some indivi-
dual with sound business talent will succeed
in making fortune in the purchase. No
such opportunity has been offered like this
in this city for years.

Editor New Orleans Bulletin:

NEW ORLEANS, June 2, 1874
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Mr.. j. H. Oglesby, occupying the chair of
President of the Chamber of Commerce of
this city, is charged with being in sympathy
with and having countenanced and support
ed, or assisted w. P. Kellogg, as lawful (or
usurping) Governor of Louisiana.
Mr.. Ogesby has studiously avoided this
charge, and the Chamber of Commerce, a
representative body, or claiming to be such,
has most obstinately evaded the issue, under
the circumstances an issue most disgrace
full to that most honorable body.
If Mr.. Oglesby's political convictions :"
are iii sympathy with the present monstrous
usurpation, i. g., the Kellogg Administra-
ton or Government, then for Gods sake let
the Chamber purge itself by putting Mr..
Oglesby out, as being utterly unfit to occupy
position representative Of this community
in commercial, financial, or any other
sense.
Mr.. Oglesby occupying the Presidents
chair, may find it convenient and pecuniar-
ly advantageous to affiliate or associate
with Kellogg and his co infamous crew, but
an old adage never known to fail, especially
during carnival like the present, admon-
ishes us that Mr.. Oglesby shoSld resign a
position, which in its present occupancy is
UNANIMOUSLY slanderous of this community.

Gov. Ames Hung in Effigy.

We learn from the Brandon, Miss. Repub-
'ican that last Friday was the day appointed
for the execution of Bill and Jesse Jones, at
Forest, for the cold blooded and brutal muir
der of John Buckley, most estimable
white citizen of Scott county. They ac-
knowledged the killing, boosted of it and
gloried in having committed the dastardly
deed. They were arrested, tried before a
Radical judge and a jury composed of both
white and black men. The witnesses against
them were men and women of their own
color.
The evidence was overwhelming as to
their guilt. The judge sentenced them to
be hung, and the people, both white and
black, Republicans and Democrats, said
they richly deserved their fate.
Just before the hour arrived for the exc
cution, message was received from Gov.
Anes committing the sentence to impri-
sonment for life. This so exaspe rated the
people of the county that they made an
etfigy of Ames laid it on one of the collins
prepared for the murderers, placed the
coffin on dray, and amid the cries, shouts,
jeers and groans of the excited and insulted
populace, drove it through the streets, and
finally hung it to a tree.
As the Republican says:
Mr.. Ames was very anxious, few weeks
since, to have two white gentlemen who
fought duel punished, but when negro
kills a white gentleman in cold blood, and
is tried by the courts of the country, found
guilty and sentenced to be hung according
to law, he sters in and puts stop to the
proceeding.
