Mary E. Aboons, his wife, had left

him 10000 meals, made 1000 milkings

$4,000 hours over hot stove, borne
him six children, and has loaded hay
sewed sacks and cleaned stables. In

Misery Loves Company.

If it he true that misery loves COM
pany, the people residing near the
great river have a good deal Of COM
pany just now While the planters
of the Mississippi valley are in dread
of a terrific overflow, the people of
the large manufacturing centre at and
near Pittsburg. Pennsylvania, are
suffering in anticipation the misery
of q Vast destruction of property and
life. The Allegheny river is gorgcd
with ice for distance of more than
twenty miles FROM its confluence with
the Monongahela, and many mills,
with much other property, are mo-
mentarily exposed to utter destruc-
ton. The Monongahela is in the
same condition, aud railroads, steam
boats, rolling mills, nail factories, etc,
etc, to an almost fabulous amount,
are in the utmost danger. These ice
gorges may give way at any moment,
and carry CONSERVATION and ruin fol-
many miles. The Schuylkill river
is source of great danger to the
manufacturing interests of Philadel
phia, and q catastrophe there may
spread dismay and ruin through that
great and populous city. Port Jer.
vies and Mansfield, on the Delaware
river, are threatened with destruction
from great leo gorges. while the dwell
lers on the Mohawk and the Housa.
tonic are also in a state of lively
apprchensiOns Cor their safety. Svm.
pathising with suffering wherever
it may exist, we wish our friends up
North safe deliverance from the
dangers which now environ them,
and trusting the community of mis-.
cry to which We have referred, iu
which the people of the South and Of
the North are at present bound, may
soon be at an end, we look forward
hopefully to brighter future for all.

'sThe Last Feather to the Gamers
Load"

If anything was wanting to COM
olete the total overthrow Of the Radl-
cal Republican party. it certainly was
the enactment by Congress OF the
Civil Rights Bill; and this boomerang
is already performing the most threat
cnips misunderstanding to those
who have been using it for the purpose
of iJuring the people of the South.
The pill had long since been forced
down the threats of the carpe;bag
ridden people Of the South, to the
perfectly demoniac exultation of those
who did not dream that they. would
ever be asked to swallow it but now
they know how it is themselves"
and do not relish it at all. They
seem to hive forgotten the old adage
that "What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander," and are per-
fectly panic stricken. Boniface is in
perfect stew, and swears that no
niger shall sleep on bis beds and eat
at his taJle de hote theater managers
rave and say that no legislative body
has a right to pass laws that are cal.
culatcd to injurc their business, while
steamboat and railroad men are furi.
Gus over such outrageous proceedings
and the dockets of the United States
are being crowded with Civil Rights
cases.
Mine host finds a way oat of this
wilderness Of trouble by closing the
doors of bis hotel and opening ,

Roscoe COnkIing and the Presi.
Dental Candidacy.

The Albany (N. W Evening Post
advocates the nomination of the leader
Of this Grant Administration for the
Presidency, and denies the aspirations
Of President Grant for the third term
in the following language:
The idea that President Grant de-
sired third term, is Il piece Of folly
which never had any cxistance outside
of the ill-reguiaied Uranium of james
Gordon BOBBY, who owns, edits and
supplies with bosh the New York Her
aid. As President Grant has never
aspired to q third term, he may as
we'll he considered out Of the race.
A rather bold assertion, for we are
very certain that it is well known to
the editor of the Evening Post that
the idea does nave existence in other
craniums besides James Gordon Ben
nett's, and that too in the brains of
many of its own party.
Assuming that GRANT is out Of the
race, and knowing that Conklipg has
wonderful influence over him and
his immediate followers, the Evening
Post very naturally supposes that the
New York Senator is ."thc coming
man." who will receive the Republi-
can nomination for President, with
John 4. Logan, of Illinois, for Vice
Prcsident-a beautiful pair and most
appropriate specimens Of the viper
class of Republicans.
We feel but little interest in tie
matter as to who are nominated by
the Radicals as their standard bearer
in the campaign of 1876, and only
hope they will put forward the very
worst specimens of their party. that
the people may he the more fully con-
WINGED of the necessity of change.
COnkling exercises a wonderful IN
huence over Gen. Grant, it is true,
but we hardly think it is sufficient to
convince him that it is his duty to
"s,ep down and out" TO give place to
himself. Power is too sweet and be
has his heart too much fixed on the
third term for that-the sacrifice
would be too great

That Compromise.

We may he mistaken, and really
wish that we may DC, as to the de-
signs of Wheeler in Offering his terms
of adjustment; but we have never
been able to discover any promise Of
good to result thereflom cvea in the
distant future. but on the contrary
have seen only evil. 1t gave tine
House of Congress the .protcxt for
passing a resolution recognizing the
Kellogg administration, just before
its final adjournment, for the balance
Of the term, without even pretending
to claim that Kellogg was elected, but
on the contrary acknowlcd sing that
he was not by the admission Of Sheri-
dan, who did not claim his election
except upon the general Conservative
ticket. We believe that Wheeler's
object was to get this sham expression
of popular acqnicscence in the usurpa.
ton through the Representatives Of
the people as a justification Of the
course pursued by Congress after il
had got that expression.
The following unsatisfactory dis
patch brings the tidings of the com.
pletion of the work of the Wheeler
arbitration, without informing US as
to whom it had given the Offices to
which they were or were no, elected
New York. March l5.-The Lou
isiana Committee terminated its pro.
ceedings today. The claims Of
eighteen or nineteen contestants have
been passed upon, and the award Of
arbitEstion is to be sent on to the
Governor ut New Orleans tonight
Subsequent action on it will he as is
deemed expctlicnt by the Governor
and House Of Representatives.
Thus ends the farce Of adjustment
and award, and it is optionary with
Kellogg and his crowd as to whether
they will accept or reject it. 1t does
not require prophet to foretell the
action of Kellogg in the premises, in
our opinion. lie may call the extra
session Of the Legislature and sane
ton the seating Of the members whom
he had Ousted Mt the point Of tn,
bayonet, but if he does we will b.
surprised. We hope he will not, fo
We have had enough of this assem-
bling and wrangling of rabble Il
disgrace and impoverish any State.
According to Bulletin reporter
interview with Kellogg, he may or h
may not call the extra session. III

Gov. McEnery.

Gov. John McEnery reached home
Tuesday, after aH absence, with only
brief visit last year, since October,
1872. We are pleased to find our
distinguished fuilow-t ownsman look
ing well, and nothing tie worse jim
spirits for the trying ordeal he has
passed through.
Gov. MrEncry has explored new
and un,ricd field. Taken from the
quictude of his law office and elevated
by the popular vote to the highest
position in the State, with no expert
ence and nothing but his own judy
ment for guide, with schemcrs and
unparalleled troubles to contend with,
he has deportcd himself in a manner
that disarms his opponents and must
command the applause Of all who
cherish principle and the honor of our
distressed State In the stormy and
anxious troubles Gov. McEnery has
passed through, it is but just to say
and no one can say it With less of
adulation than the writcr-lhat fewer
mistakes and less care for popular
rights could not have been shown than
has been done by Gov. McElery. In
fact, allowing something for familiari-
ty if the reader pieases, John Nc
Emery, in his contest with Kellogg,
has displayed degree of manliness,
dignity and craftsmanship deserving
the gratitude of those who made him
their leader. We sympathize with
him in the disappointment which
have followed his efforts not so
much, perhaps, on his own account
as that the people have been robbed,
but none the less do we extend to him
all the hOnOrs due to manly defense
of his State when temptations of all
sorts beset his path and when none
but q brave heart could have made
the contest.-Ouachita Telegraph.

Senator Alcorn, of Mississippi, is
in favor of seating Pinchback in the
Senate, not because he was legally
elected-for this he emphatically
denies-but because the Kellogg gov
ernment has been recognized by the

is a representative negro. This
shows which way the wind blows
with Alcorn. He thinks the negroes
