A Team Chased Four Miles by o LO.
connective.

THE Hartford Comm Courant states
that one evening a few weeks ago a span
of horses attached to sleigh dashed
through the streets of that city, and were
caught and lstabled by young man.
The horses were reeking with sweat, and
no owner appeared until late that even
ing, when Mr.. Shaw came and stated
that the team was his. His story of the
runaway shows il to have been one Of
the most remarkable on record. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Shaw, who is wool-buyer
ofWales, Mass, started from home yester-
day morning, accompanied by his wife
and child, and by Mr.. $. Darling, wife
and child, on trip to Hartford, by the
way of Rockville. All progressed well
until they came to the dangerous rail
road crossing near the cid toll-gate on
the Manchester road, about two miles
east of Burnside. The crossing is a
slanting one, and in driving over it a
runner of the sleigh followed one of the
rails so as to turn the sleigh over. All
the occupants were thrown out, but none
of them injured. The horses ran down
the track, the sleigh righting. They
| were soon lost to view. The train from
Providence, due here at 6:15, was rap
idly approaching. Mr.. Shaw ran down
the track after his horses, and as the
train neared the crossing the rest of the
party made all efforts to signal the en-
gineer, but did not succeed Mr.. Shaw,
who was some way down the track, also
| signaled the train, and it slackened up.
The conductor was hurriedly informed
of the catastrophe, and Mr.. Shaw begged
to be taken on board the train, and that
| they proceed cautiously, he expecting to
| find his team wrecked in some eulvert or
cattle guard ahead. Strange to say, the
conductor turned away and the train
Numbered on, apparently regardless of
| danger But the horses had not fallen
nor parted from the sleigh. They kept
ahead of the train leaping over culvert
pits, and ran about four miles. As they
neared the piling adjacent to the long
bridge over the river they turned from
| the track, took the meadow road dashed
| through the toll-bridge and up Morgan
street to Main, to the point where they
were stopped. The sleigh was almost
uninjured, having only been bruised
| slightly The horses were not badly
hurt, though their legs were somewhat
cut. Mr.. Shaw had followed the team,
inquiring at various places along the
road. On learning of its recovery he
| dispatched conveyance for the rest OF
| the party. who had found refuge at the
| house of Mr.. Williams, near the scene OF
the accident, and all were brought to the
! city,

stitution of the United States" Certain
fore, in itself foreshows no policy, in
asmuch as the essential question is,
What does the Constitution authorizes
The De mocratic policy is to be inferred
from the character and antecedents of
the party and from the expressions Of its
leaders. These all foreshow passivity.
The party would grant JEFF. Davis
prayer at the beginning of the
rebellion and leave the South"
alone. This would mean the reduction
OF the colored population to pariah
class, and then the question would be
whether the general intelligence and
good sense of the whites could be trust
ed to avoid what in the changed condi-
ton of the Southern States would ALWAYS
threaten them-an internecine war.
There is another consideration. The
ruling political sentiment among the
whites of the Southern States is not, in
the American sense, republican. The
Southern orators always appealed to
Greece and Rome, because the democ-
racy of Athens rested upon slavery, and
the freemen were very uncomfortable
number of the population. But Ameri-
equal rights, and demands the suffrage
as their guarantee. In this sense the
sentiment of the white class in those
States is anti-republican. 1t is senti-
mcnt of caste. 1t calls itself democratic,
as when it openly maintained slavery;
but should it gain power in all the South
ern States they would be unit of
hostility to the American principle of
equal rights. And this hostility would
only be confirmed were the national
Government in Democratic hands. In
the worst sense, therefore, Il Democratic
restoration would be reaction. 1t could
not hasten the settlement of questions
that cannot be evaded, and which are
imminent. If the negro, as an equal citi-
zen, in States where he is half the popu-
lation, suggests the important question
Of the situation, ought the answer to be
intrusted to his friends or to his enemiesr
1t is not conclusive reason for taking it
from his friends that they have made
mistakes, unless it can be shown---and it
cannot bo-that those mistakes must
necessarily be continued and maintained.

The Republican Position Unshaken.

Who defines the position of the Re.
publican partyy Who speaks for it upon
the great commanding questions of the
time. Who makes its policy and de.
clares its principles
Clearly it is no weak Kellogg in Louis
lana. Clearly it is no obscure Returning
Board. Clearly it is no miserable set Of
politicians IN New Orleans. These char.
acters do not speak for the Republican
party or determine its attitude or action
The position of the party is declared by
its recognized and authorized representa-
tives-by the controlling voice of its
press, and by the deliberate utterances
of its chosen and accepted opponents.
One of these, and tho chief among them
is the President of the United States.
Now, we direct attention to the sig
nificant and suggestive fact that the mes.
sage Of the President on the Louisiana
question has nowhere been successfully
impeached or shaken No assailant or
critic has been able to point out a posi-
ton in that document which was
not well considered and fortified, and
which the country does not sustain. Of
course, the Democratic newspapers
have, n their usual fashion, flung
coarse, general epithets at the message
but no one has taken it up in can
did, reasoning way and been able to
show that it enunciates any principle
which is not essentially sound or asserts
any position which is not substantially
correct. And for the truth of this state
ment we appeal to the intelligence of all
who have watched the course of the dis
cusslon. On the question of military ac-
ton, on the question of unusual meth
DDS of dealing with the White League
disturbers of the peace, on the question
of establishing legitimate Government in
Louisiana-in short, on the whole ques-
ton raised by the proceedings at the Or
ganization of the Legislature, by Sheri-
dams dispatches, and by the allegations
of fraud, where does the President take Q
false position? We assert that no critic
has been able to show one.
Amid all the reckless clamor, isn't it
well to remember that fact? And, in
spite of all the violent assaults, doesn't
it follow that the real positiol. OF the Re
publican party stands unsnahon" OF
course, something remains to be done =
if the message is regarded, something
will be done. But taking the President
as the chief exponent of the party atti-
tude and policy, the treatment of the
Louisiana question in his message has
nowhere been successfully assailed.-AL

Advice to WOuld.Be FashIOnables.

The fashion correspondent of the Lon
don Hornet says: Icung ladies who go
out much, and have not the purse Of
CrGsus for their pocket-moncy, should
always strictly adhere to black or white.
With black silk dress and white silk
dress it is astonishing what deal may
be done. With the black silk dress you
have high moyen-age, with body Of the
same, for home or visiting, sans cerenonSe.
A low, square body of the same is after
ward Indispensable, rs over this you
may wear gauze or jet cuirass apron,
tied at the back with bows of ribbon,
when you have an elegant dinner-dress at
once. The white silk dress, with low
body, can be worn at balls Of the great
est pretension; and, when worn with
white cuirass apron of white ChambeTy,
or even muslin, it makes an exquisite
dinnerdress. Pink silk dresses, blue
silk dresses, any colored silk dress, in
deed, can be made into rich demi-toilct
dresses by means of white cuirass and
apron. tied at the back with ribbon
bows of the same color. The cuirass
and apron, when worn for evening, are
generally made in one piece, like the
front of Beatrix robe, only both body
and apron are fastened at the back.
This shape, however, to fit well must be
most exquisitely cut With black silk
and white silk dress and n gauze or
barege or tulle apron, tunic, or bodice
and white Chambery or muslin tunic
and bodice you will have sufficient toilets
to last you through the season, however
much you may go out. 1t is always
preferable to have few dresses well
and stylishly made than a larger number
which are the reverse. have known
ladies who have been the bellies Of even
ing parties in plain silk dresses, stylishly
made, whilst others in pink satins and
lace have appeared oldfashioned and in
elegant. Richness of dress goes no
where compared to style and cut"

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

THE NIsKAYUNE SHAKERES,S,

Just in from Niskayune,
Five miles beyond the turnpike gate,
One pleasant afternoon.

She sat in virgin state;
The spirit moved me to draw near
And hold with her debate.
I asked of her the price Of eggs;
She raised her eyes, and then
IF brother Jesse were but here
Then she looked down again.
She raised her eyes once more, atlength,

Then brother Jesse spoke awhile,
And when he reached the close

The vision passed, and there I stood
Once more upon Broadway.

"Wilt go:" | faltered, Nay"

A WOman's Adventure With Mouse.

A Keokuk woman immortaliZed her
self and wants a crown of glory of which
very few of the sex are worthy. She Is
not afraid Of a mouse. She proved that
she was mistress of the situation in the
very face of the mouse himself. The
lady, while pursuing her domestic du-
lties, cornered a mouse in tlour-barrei.
| He had been there before. The lady
had been laundering after him. She
slammed down the lid, plugged up hole
with the butt-end Of "a flour-scoop and
| the ravenous animal was nicely caught
| in his own trap. Now ninety-nin
women in hundred would have taken
refuge in the garnet or cellar, as most
convenient, uttcrng piercing shrieks
that would have alarmed the whole
vicinity, like cries Of "murdef" or
fire. The Keokuk heroine in her ad-
venture with mouse did no such tbing.
| She stood her ground manfully. She
summoned the hired man. lie came,
| and a council of war was held in the
store room. The man, according to the
settled plan of the campaign, got shot
gun and stationed big, clumsy bull
dog in a commanding position. Every
thing being ready for the attack, the lid
| was lifted and the lady vigorously
| punched the -four barrel with POLE
Soon the mouse started across the floor

hired man, thinking the woman WAS
dead and he would he arrested for MUIR

house and has not been seen since. The

From the NJ. Z Cypress.
Thp NprTa Gnusnj,.scy

By the discharge of the negro con-
spirators in Georgia, the Judge, jury.
and citizens have. not only shown
their superiority to the influence Of
exciting circumstances at. a critical
period, but have pursued d wise poll
cy as we'll as far-seeing justice. The
testimony Of many Of the witnesses
goes to show that the orders of some
OF the leaders to Gill the wites
were accepted in their full meaning
by many Of the negroes to whom
they were addressed; hence tho &C.
quittal, or rather the release, of most
Of the prisoners from the claims of
the law has not beeasaseb upon the
absence of q genuine conspiracy or
reasons for general apprehension. But
the discovery of the plot and the
leniency with which the offenders
have been treated VIII put an end to
the threatened disturbance sooner,
perhaps, than penalties would have
done. The conspiracy which contem
plated such bloody work started in
ignorance and misappr hension, AMI
the action taken by the citizens and
authorities has pretty thoroughly dis.
PEELED both, and hence the recent
plotters and their followers will not
be likely to rrpeat their folly.
This termination Of the difficulty
has significant and important lesson
for the people of the North to con-
slider. 1t shows that Southern men
feel no antago1isln to-the negroes,
and are determined to place no OBJ
stacle in the way of their advance
ment. On the contrary, as the pres
ent episode has demonstrated, they
are willing to make generous allow
ance for some of their acts On the
ground of their Ignorance leading
them into false notions and prejudi,
ces, which unscrupulous political ad-
venturers, frequently acting under
orders from high authority, have dis
scln.nated. If, then, the rights and
interests Of the negro are securqin
GeorSi'-, as events prove them to be,
they surely must be in other Southern
States where the colored element is
much stronger, nlable, by legitimate
means, to abuMlantlY protect itself
