ST. LotIs, June 1.-The Democrats

ply and several other leading Republicans
Of Jefferson county were arrested a week
ago for treason, and thrown into Jail, Only
two of these gentlemen were in Brooks
service or had anything to do with the late
troubles. Mr.. J. A. Williams, Attorney
for these parties arrested and confined in
jail, demanded trial Saturday, but both
trial and bond were refused.
All the parties are still in prison. This
is done for the purpose of forcing the Off
GERS of the county to resign and break up
the Republican party in that county, where
it has $500 majority. Ifthe Republicans
attempt to organize for a political cam
paign, or put ticket in the field, similar
course may be expected in every Republi-

Gov. Baxter will not approve

TO companies in this State where the Re

Dangerous Mutiny Among State Pris-
on COuyicts.

on
ST. LOUIS, June IA special from JEFF
fersOn City at late hour tonight says, a
mutiny, which for time threatened to be
quite serious, occurred in the penitentiary
to-day. During the dinner hour several
convicts simultaneously sprang FROM their
seats at the table, and with drawn knives
ordered the five or six guards
present to stand still at the peril of their
lives which they did. Mr.. Bradbury, one
ofthe officers of the prison, entered the
room, was seized and ordered to remain
quiet. Shortly after, Warden Sabree enter
ed and made speech to the convicts which
qaieted them to Such an extent that they
released Bradbury and the guards.
The cause of the trouble, as stated by the
convicts, was the bad quality of the food
furnished them. At the request of Col.
Murphy, the President of the prison COM
pany, a committee of the prisoners went
with him to the COmmissary's quarters,
where the quality Of the rations was ex-
amined. This seemed satisfactory to most
of the cOnvicts. But some of them
still insisted the food was not good. and
complaint was then made of the quantity
being insufficient for Woodworking men.
Col. Murphy assured them they should
have abundance to eat and Of good quality,
and comparative quiet was restored.
A second revolt, however, broke cut in
the shoe-shOp during the afternoon, and
threats were made TO burn the prison. 1t
was then determined to force the convicts
into the cells. At this juncture a company
of armed citizens arrived, and they were
marched into the prison and drawn up
in line, ready to fire on tine slightest
demonstration of disobedience. This had
quieting effect even on the most turbu-
lent of them, and in a few minutes all were
behind the bars and bolts.

FORT WAYNE.
A Curious Explosion.

FORT WAYNE, IND, June 1.-Two men
named Wyckert and StapletOn were blast
ing rock, a few days ago, on the farm Of
Joshua Stapleton, the father of the latter.
They drilled hole in large stone and
poured some powder in it, but, discovering
that the aperture was not large enough,
proceeded 10 chip the hole with a hammer.
The rock being flinty, sparSs. were pro
duced, igniting the powder and causing a
terrific explosion. Three fingers were
blown of the left hand Of Wycsert, and
Stapleton was blown OF some distance
from the place. Had the fragments not
been discharged laterally, the men would
doubtless have been killed.

FormuIatory and Theological.


ST. LOUIS, Juue 1.-The attendance this
morning at the General Assembly was
somewhat reduced, many Of the members
having gone home.
The subject of formula for receiving
new members, baptizing infants, ETC., was
taken up. The Assembly seemed divided
as to the advisability Of having any formula
whatever, many disliking and opposing
anything in the shape of ritualism. On
motion of DR.. Darling. the whole subject
was indefinitely postponed.
DR.. Atwater, Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Theological Seminaries, reported all
the seminaries had prospered greatly dur
ing the year.
DR.. Green presented a minority report in
the shape Of resolution in effect that the
Assembly withhold its sanction from the
appointment of DR.. 4. W. Patterson to the
chair Of apologize theology and ethics in
the Seminary Of the Northwest.

LOVES LABOR LOST.

We have been favored by the author,
G. W. Hubbard, with a copy OF his
History of the Colored Schools at
Nashville" a pamphlet of thirty-four
pages, Just issued. Its general scope
is sufficiently indicated by the title, but
there is one chapter, The Relative
Mental Capacity of White and Colored
Children" which is worthy of
at least passing comment. At
ter giving statistics of the enrolment,
attend mce, time devoted to the va
rIous grades, and results of examiDa-
tions, in the white schools and Belle
View, for the scholastic years ending
June, 1S72-3, be comes to the deliber-
ate conclusion that "a careful COMPARE
son of pupils of almost unmixed Afri-
can descent with those who are nearly
white, shows but little, if any, differ
eace in their intellectual capacity''-a
deduction which he is evidently in
oined to carry still farther by placing
the unmixed whites and blacks on the
samementalleyel. The hereditary trans
mission of intellectual and moral quail
tiles being accepted, how long" he
asks. will it take to overcome the de-
Grading influence Of so many genera
tons. supposing that the Caucasian and
the African originally possessed the
same natural abilities?" The weather
is too warm to argue this point and We
dismiss the subject for the present,
with the remark that Mr.. Hubbard has
chosen a very unfortunate time for the
inculcation Of his peculiar views con
ceri. lg the two races. In fact, 1t IS
about as bad a case Of loves labor lost
as has been heard Of since the late Mr..
Shakspeare's day.

of the Directors Of the Nashville, Chatta-

pose Of holding consultation concerning
the opening Of a direct line Of steamships

cordially approved Of. The Board Of Di-
rectoFs aSTeed TO pro rata with all roads
connecting the West with Savannah upon
freishts fer Liverpool and other foreign
ports. The Board also agreed 10 pro rata
on freights f0r Charleston and Port ROYAL,
if the system Of direct trade be inaQgurated
at those points.

Is BRIsrOw THE COMING MAN.


Benjamin II. Bristow, whom the
President has nominated to succeed
Richardson In the Treasury Depart
ment, was, few years since, Assistant
Attorney General. If he has ever man.
5fested any Of the qualities required for
the new position offered him, we have
yet to hear of it. The nomination is
one characteristicof Grant. Whatever
Bristow may be noted for among those
who know him, it certainly has not been
for financial abilities. Some express
surprise that the President should Turn
his back on the East, and go 50 far
West as Kentucky to select his Purser.
But we must remember that Ken
tucy Radicals, being scarce, and
backed by few votes at home, are
intensely loyal to the Administra-
tion and its usages. Besides, this first
nomination may be a mere compli-
mentaTy .feint, to cover a retreat to the
Northeast for second nominee. A
few months ago Grant went all the
way to Oregon for his first choice, only
to jump back in Massachusetts for the
second. We recall the agony over the
Chief Justiceship, because the quiet
reference by the Senate yesterday of
Bristow's name to the Finance Com
mittee NAV be more than formal.
