Blown Down by a Gale.
Last evening an immense stone grist mill,
owned by LHommedier, at tie branch and
village, fifteen miles from Mount Sinai, and
which for some time has been considered
very unsafe, was klown down in a heavy
gale of wind. The roof was first carried
away, and fell upon horse and wagon
twenty feet distant with tremendous
crash. Eleven men were at work in the
mill at the time of the disaster. Immedi.
ately after the roof was swept away the
massive stone walls caved in, burying be
meath the ruins five of the unhappy millers
who were probably killed outright. -Four
men miraculously escaped injury, and two
are badly bruised.

The Washington Chronicle on tho New
Dogma.
The Washington Chronicle thus pays its
compliments to the new departure of the
Democracy:
1t is really matter Of wonder to a rea.
sonable mind to note the fatuousness OF
the Democratic and so-called Independent
press of the South IN dealing with the ques-
ton OF the relation of the negro to the
political future of the country. One can
scarcely understand how a parcel of men,
who are not wanting in ability as a gen.
eral thing, can be SO stupid whenever the
negro is to be mentioned Whatever
opinion a man may hold as to the capacity
of the negro to properly exercise the suf-
frage, the fact is patent that Congress has
deemed proper to give him the suffrage, and
he is now sitting in our halls Of legislation
and occupying other prominent positions in
the land. He has exercised the elective
franchise for some years past, lnteillgently
enough at least to know his friends from
his foes. ..-
All this cry OF white mans party is mere
political claptrap, aud is working great
detriment to the industrial interests of
many OF the Southern States. In Virginia
are enabled to get the upper hand of the
negroes as far as gathering in the offices
are concerned, the cry pitifully comes up
for more labor, and yet the leaders in these
States have by their silly conduct and lack
of patriotism virtually driven away their
best labor;ng class. The negro is peculiarly
tenacious of the political rights which cost
80 much blood to obtain, and he will not
stay where those rights are denied him.
When States are burdened with debt, and
the people groaning under taxation, every
able bodied labOrer who emigrates Is just
SO much dead loss to the productive power
of the people, and as consequence jusj SO
much additional taxation.
The people of the South have been spend
ing a large amount of money to secure
foreign immigration, and the experiment
has proven an absolute failure. Why they
should look to foreign countries for labor
when the have the very best class at home
it is hard to see, unless they are willing to
make any sacrifices to keep alive race pre-.
iudices and surely the cOmmon-sense policy
Is to make the best of what can not be
helped Whatever theory may be enter
tanned of the great superiority of the Anglo
Saxon race. the negro is in the South; II is
his home, his country, and he is likely to
remain there. His interests are bound up
with the soil, and are identical with those
of the whites. The South needs labor alone
to develop her vas. resources, and it is time
that this senseless clamor was stopped, be-
fore the mountains of debt and taxation
compel cessation. No Southern man
who has the true interests Of his section,
and for that matter, of the country, at
heart, can give countenance to the utter
ances which we find daily in Southern ex-
changes.

AcQuatic Anniversary. A

Yesterday was the first anniversary of
the Orleans Rowing Club, and it was ce!e-
bcated in manner becoming so vigorous
an organization. Il was decided to have
three races before dark, and refreshments
and dancing in the evening, and the pro-
gramme was fulfilled in every particular.
About six o'clock the preparations were
completed and time was called for the first
race. This was one mile down stream, be-
tween the Ariel and Meteor, mahogany
shell pair cared gigs, and was won easily
by the Ariel. The Meteor lost the race at
the start by the stroke oarsmen getting his
oar cramped at the stakebOat. Her crew
will require much practice before they will
be able to make even good appearance on
the river. The ere W of the Ariel pulled a
fair and even stroke, though at times it was
rather light, probably owing to the fact Of
the certainty of their winning the race at
the start.
The second race. one mile up the river
and back, in thirty-one foot, four-oared
barges, was between the Ettie and Maid of
| Orleans. Like the first race this was won
by the favorite, the Ettie, in II minutes 81
seconds. When it is understood that there
is difference of weight Of ninety pounds
in favor of the crew of the Elite, and also
gain of twenty-five pounds in the cox
swain, the defeat Of the Maids crew can be
easily accounted for. The crews of both
boats showed that there had been much re-
cent practice.
The third race was the main feature OF
the evening, and those who witnessed the
boats come in can say they were well re-
warded for the long wait incident to the
preparation for the race. This race was one
mile down stream, between the Viola, OF
the Pelican Club, and the Annie
r., of the Orleans Club, four cared out
rugged gigs. The Viola was manned by
II. G. Keene, No. l.; J. H. Bayhi, No. 2; l.
P. Chaudet, No. 3; John Connolly, stroke
and A. De Armas, coxswain. The Annie Il
was manned by P McGrath, No. 1; John
Donnellan, No. 2; NJ. Hopkins, No. 8; james
McKeon, stroke; Willie McCaffrey, cox
swain. The boats got fair start, ant
passed the stake boat, in front Of the clui
house, with the Annie Il only six fee
ahead The result of this race was dis
appointment to the knowing ones, but ;
source of pleasure to the friends of thu
club. No record of the time of this race
made, though it would probably rank vel
with the best.
After the races were over the club enter
tanned large company Of ladies and gen
tlemen in most royal manner until lat
hour.
The club may well be satisfied with tn
celebration of its first anniversary.

The Levee Survey Commission.

Mr.. Mcrey's bill to provide for the ap-
pointment Of commission of engineers to
investigate and report permanent plan Tor
the reclamation of the alluvial basin of the
Mississippi river, subject to inundation, has
the following features:
1t proposes to direct the President to as
sign three officers of the corps of engineers,
United States army, and to appoint two
civil engineers eminent in their profession,
and who are acquainted with the alluvial
basin Of the Mississippi river, to serve as a
board of commissioners; the president Of
the board to be designated by the President
of the United States. 1t is to be the duty
of the commission to make full report to
the President of the best system for the per-
manent reclamation and redemption of the
alluvial basin from inundation, which Ie-
port the President is to transmit to Con.
gress at its next session, with such recon-
mendations as he shall think proper.
The second section provides that the

pensation at the rate of $4,000 per annum.
The commission may employ secretary at
a rate of compensation not exceeding 5000

the necessary travelling expenses of the
members of the commission not officers OF
the army, and of the secretary, are to be

cordance with the provisions of the act.
| The President has already taken promp
action in this matter by the appointment q
| Ex-Governor P. o. Hebert. OF this State, a
one Of the commission. Nobody will ques

ton could not have been made, or on
which, while it will give unbounded satis
