Prehistoric Man.

A possible addition to the controversy
concerning pre-hi toric man ~ fur
nished by Virginian newspaper, which
asserts that its information was OBJ
tained from gentlemen OF the highest
character, who saw with their own eyes
and tested with their own handsthe Won
derful objects of which they make report.
A railway is III progress of construction
between Weldon and Garrysburg, and
while the workmen were employed OH n
river bank, about mile from the for
mer place, they discovered vast heap
of skeletons, packed closely together
tier on tier, and intermin"'"' Wa the
human bones lot Of sharp stO-a ar-
rows, rude mortars and pipe bows.
The skulls were nearly i'm incl in thick
ness, the teeth were rs large rs those OF
a horse and filed sharp like those OF
cannibals, aud the leg bones indicated
that the stature OF these remnants OF Il
"lost and forgotten race" must have
been as great rs eight or nine feet.
The newspaper from which we obtain
those facts hopes that "some effort will
be made to preserve authentic and &C.
curate accounts OF these discoveries" J"
and If they are honestly reported, we
have little doubt that there will be.

We 10 no: mean the rather turbulent
statesman Of that name. but 8 counselor
at law Of New Orleans. assigned. if we
mistake not. by the Committee Of Seventy
with Mr.. Mari as assistant counsel to Mr..
II. \. Ogden in the legal representation
of the Fusion interests IN the lobby of
Congress. NJ. Janin. not conten. with
the argument ore tennis. has resorted 10
the New York Herald, and publishes :,
letter denouncins the Republican govern.
ment for ''the outrageous and disgracefui
state Of affairs existing in our State" and
demanding that if that party els not equal
to the emergency which it has created, it
should frankly confess its impotency and
abandon the control of the government"
In this proposition Monsieur Janin
takes an eminently Gallican view OF the
relations between the whole American
people and the government made by their
hands. When NJ. Theirs, orany other rule.
OF republican France, did not suit the con.
st:tu:ional legislature sitting j.: perma.
nence they made a call upon hin. some.
what similar TO tina: demanded by At.or.
ney Janin Of the federal government. As
it seems impossible to substitute in the
head Of your genuine Frenchman any
other idea of representative government
than that it is the government Of one
man. it has been customary to chop Oft
the average French head with I. sort o.
sausage-chopper which they call :. guil!o.
tine as o short cut to political conviction.
a similar Gallicism is NANTES: IN this !
subsequent proposal:
If the people of Louisiana were permitted |
70 settle their grievances without inter. |
ference on the part of federal military |
power, they would make short work of the |
Kellogg usurpation. But SO ION. as our /.
hands are tied by superior force we are |
compelled to appeal for redress and justice |
to a Congress two-thirds Republican,. !
That is, if that portion of the people Of
Louisiana who, though in a minority OF |
votes, yet possess intelligence, wealth
and the use of fire arms, were not pre-
vented ''by interference on the part of
federal military power" they-the rich
men and drilled soldiers Of the minority
would make short work. Of the inlet.
