Orestes Cleveland. The latter was claimed to be
the regular ticket by It's supporters, while the op
position claimed that 1t was ticket put
in the field by a political trick, and
stated in support OF their assertions that
the orion ticket was considered the regular nomi-
nation ana that the Cleveland ticket was not made
up until late the day previous its supporters stat
ing as their reason for so doing that It had been
ascertained bv them that Mr.. orion was not

ceptional cases of application for am
nestysdoes not change the rnle. When
the North fought to maintain the I'm

established. If by force, only SO much
the more was the belief of the non
secceding States in the blessings, privi-
leges and pcrnanency of the Union,
displayed to mankind who stood anx-
ious spectators of the strife.
The craftsmanship, therefore, which
has prolonged and still prolongs the
day of final reconciliation between
brethren OF the North and South, by
the denial to so-called rebels in the
South of the full rights of citizenship,
must be viewed abroad, not as step to
cement the bonds of Union, or to estab-
lish the Legitimacy and consistency OF
American pretensions to the best gov
eminent the world ever saw but AS a
faithful copy of the acts Of all the mon
arches ever established ON earth to
maintain their authority, and as the
denial Of the champion Republic, to its
own citizens, OF the right to exercise a
voice in the administration Of their
own government.

Col. Garrett even Stunned the pro1ni-

secret; but we have often thought it
was owing as much to a conviction of
the emptiness of honors, weighed by
the worth of the recipients upon whom
honors were bestowed, as to any want
of force in his character. He was a
man formed to live in the Augustan

THE OUACHITA OVERFLOW.

We have seen no reason to alter our
estimate of two weeks ago touching the
extent of the damage done by the over
flow of the Ouachita. Exaggerated
reports from one point have been fully
counterbalanced by underestimate
from another. Some have told us that
our report gave, them more water than
they really had while others have
complained that they were not given
their full complement. 1t would re-
quire an actual survey, to establish the
real boundaries between land and
water-which we arc not prepared to
make. OF one thing we are assured {:
namely, that there are not, on the Qua
chita, from the mouth Of the Bartholo-
NEW to Red river, more than Il dozen
plantations which have not been either
wholly or partially submerged. The
number Of these plantations, altogether,
may be estimated by the hundred.
The extent Of the damage done is
matter of mere conjecture. A large
number of cattle, hogs, mules and
horses have been drowned; thousands
of acres of land, either planted, or ready
for planting, have been placed in !:
worse condition than on New Years
day; fences have been washed away
on one place but a few panels, on other,
for miles; tho labor necessary to make
an ordinary crop has been idle and use
less for fully three weeks, and just at
the time when the planter is generally
the busiest; while all over the country
there prevails want of confidence, and
a sort Of INDIGESTION and bewildernent
almost as disastrous as the flood itself
has been. A panic, the effect Of flood
no one ever expected, or was provided
for, coupled with almost absolute pov-
erty of means to repair the damages
sustained, throws over all the shadow
of doubt, weakness and anxiety. Added
to this, Il cloud OF almost impenetrable
darkness covers the face of the mer-
chant at home, who, in turn, is over
whelmed with statements, drafts and
urgent appeals from his merchant
abroad.
OF actual suffering, there has been, so
far, less than we looked for. Over
flowed people have, somehow, found
means Of subsistence, although many
of them fed from the water with not
three days rations in their keeping,
and have, besides, for several days,
been without employment. But, all
causes must bring effects; and the facil-
ity with which we are tiding over our
disaster, the worst ever known to this
people, will yet be followed by great
suffering. It hehooves the planter, and
every head of II family, to look care
fully to a support--profit is out Of the
question. Where the overflow has not
worked damage, the heavy rains have,
and we have yet to run the risk Of

As Mr.. A. ". Richards and his
mother were driving down Capitol
Hill, on Dodge street Thursday even
ing about half past seven O'Clock, a
bolt gave.way letting one side of the
shafts drop down upon the
heels of the horse, which became
frightened and started ON a run
away. Just opposite the Planters
House the buggy was overturned,
and the occupants thrown out. MI.
Richards escaped with but a few
slight bruises, while his mother was
not so fortunate. Her head and
face Were badly bruised and cut in
several places, from which the blood
flowed in streams, while she lay for
several minutes insensible upon the
ground. DIR. Peck happened to be
near by, and soon restored her to
consciousness. She was conveyed
in a carriage to her home, where
the wounds were dressed. 1t was
afterwards ascertained that one OF
her shoulders was very badly
sprained. No bones were broken.
Although quite severely injured,
Mrs. Richards is very comfortable
to-day, and will soon recover.
