Last Sunday evening the wrecker Oaaee
arrived alongside the Feta, at this place,
to assist the Travis Wright in getting the
snnken steamer aHoat, and after four days
asaiducus labor the tedious task was ac-
conlrl;shea. II seemed as though the holes
is tina huh Of the Fleta would never all be
discovered, or that a new one appeared as
soon as an old one was closed, but finally
the last aperture was repaired, and after
few hours pumping. Thursday afternoon,
the Fleta righted herself and rode the
waters Ike thing of life"
Everything being in readiness for depart
ure, the Flata was secured to the Travis
Wright just before sundown Thursday
evening ana the signal given for starr.
The Usage had scarcely reached the middle
Of the river. and headed down stream when
she was brought TO by distress call from
the Travis Wright. The Wright had swung
around with tho Fleta on her starbOard and
Just got under heaGway when the hull of
tho latter went crashing against the Same
fatal submerged column OF pilng that had
caused her former disaster. Men were
hurried into tho hold with tarpaulins, and
they discovered water pouring in through a
hole scarcely three feet distant from that
caused By tho first collision.
With su possible dispatch the Wright
towed the Fleta to her former position
against the shore, and the Usage being
alongside in a few moments. work was
promptly resumed. By four o'clock yester-
day morning the new leak was stopped and
q second aud more successful start made
for New Orleans, although narrow escape
from further delay was made, as the Travis
Wright strucks the piling, which, being
loosened by the shocks received from the |
Fleta, gave way and rising to the surface |
of the water sfoated off. Having hull of |
iron, the Wright escaped undamaged and |
proceeded down the river with her tow.
We have heard it stated several times |
that q suit for damages will be entered |
against Captain Joseph Aucoin by the
owner of tie Flcta. for causing piling to be |
driven in a place so dangerous to passing |
steamers, but whether the information is |
based upon reliable advices or merely upon |
we can not determine. The |
reasonable probability would seem to be |
that Captain Pickett will seek some recon-.
peEse for the damage to his boat and |
business, and it is quite likely suit of the |
nature intimated will be beg in at an early |

Hon. William HIurrell at HO,ue.

Colonel William Murrell, our Represen-
tative, was III Delta on Sunday and yester-
day. and we are glad to see him in such fine
health. He has not lost one iota of his
ambition. as IS evinced by bis getting up a
rcusiDg meeting at Milliken's Bend on San
day night, another at the courthouse on
Monday morning and to-day he is in his
seat in the House of Representatives. He
is confident the coantry Conservatives will
cooperate with the Republican members
before the close of the present week.
On Monday morning the Society of
Friendly Brothers turned out to receive
hito, at which time he presented them with
their charter.
Our young friend IN the clerks Office has
kindly furnished US with synopsis Of
Colonel MurreIfs speech, but it comes in
toe late for insertion.-Jiadison Journal
Directly after the November election a
jnnta OF envious politicians in Madison at
tempted to read Colonel Murrell out of the
Republican party-we we're sorry to see the
journal join the hue aud cry raised after
the gentleman who polled the unanimous
vote OF the parish Tor Representative. The
whole thing was SO ridiculous and absurd
that Colonel MuIrell very properly treated
II with silent contempt; and now, very
little time having elapsed. tho junta hides
its diminished head in the presence OF
'rousins meeting at Milliken's Bend, and
another at the courthouse" that spontane-
ously gathered to welcome Colonel Murrell
while on a flying visit among his constitu-
euts. A merciless political aspirant (now
justly consigned to obsure obloouyi en-.
deavored to enlist the services of criminal
court TO crush cut the man who had indie
pendence aud honesty enough to stand up
for his rights, and the rights of his people
as . true Republican against intrigue; but
he failed, and We have the great pleasure of
cngratulatins the Hon. William Murrell
upon his justly deserved triumph over his
es, and the evident and well deserved
marks OF approval shown him by his con-
stituents, the Republicans of Madison par
ish.-IS'ue Republican.

Cheaper Telegraphy.

We ugintentionally omitted, yesterday,
to credit the Auglu-American Cable Com
pany with the reduction of rates which is to
go into effect ON the first OF May next The
original tariff fixed the rates at 500 in
gold for y message not exceeding twenty
words, and s. extra for each additional
wcrd. From this very heavy tariff to that
now imposed there has been q gradual tall,
By successive reductions until now we are
near to tariff that will bring cable tele-
graEEy within the reach of all, as the rate
will be fifty cents word ID all points in
Grea5 britain and France, or one-halt the
present rate.
The history Of these reductions q courases
US to hope that the cost of land Mlcgraphy
may be ID few years brought down go
low that large part of the correspondence
now sent BY mail will ba transmitted over
the wires. 1t depends upon the telegraph
companies thenselYes whether this result
shall be secured by tLe intervention of the
government, or without it. Competition
may bring down prices as effectually as any
other process. Undoubtedly the last re-
duction of rates By the old cable company
was caused by an intelligent apprehension
OF tho competition Of the new company,
whose wires will be laid about the first Of
May next. So the competition of the Atlantic
and Pacific will have most beneficial in.
faence on the policy of the Western Union.

4 Personal EXPLANATION.

We copy the following from the Congress

House to make "a brief personal expiana-
ton.
mere was no objection.
MT: sypher-During the discussion on
Monday evening on the bill regulating the
rate OF taxation in the District of Columbia

use the following language. read from
tae report III the Congressional Record:
10 not believe there is q State in this
nhinn whose people are obliged to paw
% ~ on each 500 OF its actual cash value,
unless indeed 1t may be the poor tax-cursed,
crushed and ruined States of the South,
ana doubt if many of them are taxed to
that extent"
Mr.. Sypher-I desire to say to the gentle
hl&n that taxation in Louisiana is fourteen
and {. half mills on the $780,
My remark was fourteen and half mills
on the dollar, not on 500 as reported.
Yesterday the member from Wisconsin
rose to personal explanation and asked
leave to print his corrected remarks in the
RecorG. and under that pref ense, BY unani-
NOUS consent of the House, he printed in
the Record this dirty fling at me:
MI Eidredge-I do not want to hear
from the gentleman from Louisiana. That
people have suffered enough from his sort"
Now, sir, IL there is any meaner sort tn an
he and bis sort they must be mighty low
down.

order.

be taken down.

liamentary withdraw it. l do not wish to
transcend the rules of the House, and do
nos think l have done So
Mr. Eidredse-I said that. l said it most
distinctly at the time, and meant it,

the guise Of printing an explanation iu the
Record is an act which deserves to be char.
ac.erized as contemplate and coscarSla
