this juncture two policemen arrived on
the spot, arrested both parties, and

Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, March S.-Senate-Mr.
Logan presented report relative to the
legislative investigation which he with
drew yesterday; he also presented the
following:
The undersigned members Of the CON-
mittee appointed to investigate the con-
duct of the members of the last general
assembly relative to the passage Of cer-
tain measures and to certain elections
which were pending before that body,
beg leave to disagree with the report
made by the other members Of the COM
mittee, and would submit in their own
behalf the following conclusions: The
testimony, in our opinion, discloses
many facts and circumstances involving
several persons Of grave and serious sus-
picions. The testimony by other evil
dence is positively denied, and we do
not assume to reconcile the conflicting
statements of various witnesses. John
L. House, upon whose testimony will be
seen much depended, could not be
obtained, as he is a nonresident, and
while in this State successfully evaded
the process OF the chairman. We are in
duced, therefore, to submit all testimony
adduced before the committee to this
general assembly, and through it to the
country, leaving each person to form his
own conclusions.

town a water-spout broke loose with all
its force, and the land was almost in+
simultaneously covered with water, and
the small creek which, in ordinary
times, ripples by that town, became a
river in a remarkable short space of
time. The wonderful phenomenon was
accompanied by hail OF the size Of hen
eggs. 1t fell so fast that the stream was
covered with broad sheet Of ice, which
more or less CONCEALED into great Jumps.
The hail stones made sad havoc with
the poultry, killing almost every fowl
they struck. Even the ducks and
geese had not been given time to
swim out. They were swept down
stream and pelted to death. Hogs,
sheep, cattle and stock, unable to
escape, were also carried down on the
angry bosom Of the raging stream, and
hundreds of them drowned. Small
houses tumbled over into the flood and
away they went. The storehouse Of
Colonel Hughes's distillery, containing
one hundred and fifteen barrels of
whisky, was taken down stream some
three or four hundred yards. Eighty
barrels were recovered, twenty-five lost.
Among the number farley & Eaton
had seven barrels, but succeeded in
saving five. farley d Eaton's distilleTy
was washed a distance Of fifteen or
twenty feet, sustaining much damage.

MORE RA1LRoAD.-We publish in
another column a full account of the
late meeting of the Directors Of the
Chicago, Clinton and Western form
erly Iowa Southwestern, railway. 1t
is supposed that the action taken at
that meeting insures the completion
Of the road from Clinton to Upton by
the first day of October next, and to
Iowa City by the first Of December
following. We also observe that a
committee report to the Directory the
important fact that in their opinion
the taxes voted by this township, in
common with all the rest between
the points named, will be due and
collec.able upon such completion of
the road. This view Of the case may
possibly not be concurred in by all
who are interested, but it is, at all
events, question which it will be
we'll to have thoroughly understood
at as early day as possible.

LYcEuM AT DVRANT.-Six OF our

The question Al stated last week was
discussed in The affirmative by Messrs.
Prescott, LOOMS and Harris, of Du-
rant, and with equal vigor, negative
ly, by Messrs. Bentley and Leverich
of this Lyceum. The judges gave
their decision in favor of our repre-
sentatives. Excellent music wss
furnished by the singers of Duran',
and our quartette, Misses Sherwood
and Wiley and Messrs. Tufts and
Tibbetts assisted by Miss Hattie Nc
Intire at the organ. After their re-
turn home, the disputants were with
some difficulty restrained from i'm
mediately making arrangements to
go back again, prompted by the good
treatment they received at the hands
of the citizens of Durant and the
oysters so deliciously served up by
mine hostess Of the Nesbitt House.
Mrs. Lodge. We learn that a return
