On last Saturday night, at Cape Girar-
deau, No, Detective W. A. Pinkerton
succeeded in arresting Ed. Johnston, alias
Parker, alias Proctor, the leader of the
party who robbed Brady, the Southern
Express messenger, in the streets of Mem
phis four weeks ago. Pinkerton arrived
prisoner, and as Johnston has already
been indicted by the grand jury and the
offense is punishable with death, the prob
abilities are that be will hang. Pinkerton
first struck his trail at Metropolis, ILL.,. +,
where he had purchased a wagon and team
in order to travel overland, and after fol-
lowing him 200 miles secured him as above
stated. Johnston robbed the United States
Express Company in St. Louis some twelve
years ago, and for this served a six years
term in the penitentiary. Afterwards he
became a pirate on the Mississippi, and
has committed many daring robberies--

nifty to see the destruction and robberies
that were caused by the soldiers belonging
to the command of Gen. Hatch. They
broke open doors and trunks and stole all
the money they found in them; they tore
up all the clothing of ladies and gentlemen,
and broke furniture, etc. On the 4th of
this month february twelve negro SOL
diers went also to the Rancho de la Grulla,
while Don Antonio Villareal was at the
Rancho, and several other persons, these
persons having been requested that if any
more soldiers went there, to avoid an en-
gsgement, and that he (tbe Judge) would
then inform the General. So these twelve
soldiers broke open doors and stole all they
wanted; then Don Antonio Villareal went
TO notify the General, but the General
paid no attention to this, and said there
was an officer with the soldiers. The

About dark on the afternoon of the Oath
ult., fearful tornado passed through a
portion Of Pickens county, Alabama. Its
direction was northeast, and, as it passed
with the roar of thousand thunders, ii
wrenched from the stems the largest trees
OF the forest and tossed them about like
straws. Houses were swept away as feathe
ers, and broad lane was left through for

Cohen. his wife and two little children, a
son and daughter, aged about five and six
years, respectively, had just finished sup

and his family. Mr.. Erwin Cheatham,
who had supped with them and was re-
turning to his house, heard the roar of
the tornado and returned. He found
nothing but desolation, and hastily sum-
moning the neighbors, torches was light

and negroes were found as stated, the for

fear and the latter wandering about, idi-
otto with terror After search of sever

yards from where the house stood, lying
bruised and dead and her dead daughter

Saturday, March g.

The snow storm of Tuesday night ex>
tended over a great scope of country GEN.
tering in the immediate section ofSt Louis.
More snow fell there than at any time for
over twenty years, it being fifteen inches
deep on level, with drifts in some places
five to six feet deep.
The snow storm OF Tuesday has pretty
effectually stopped railway travel through
out the State of Michigan. 1t showed
very hard all day, and high north wind
drifted the snow very badly. Nearly all
the roads in the State abandoned all trains
until their tracks could be cleared by snow
plows.
The result Of the effect of the passage
of the civil rights bill occurred at the new
Memphis, Tennessee theatei last night.
Two colored men who had purchased
tickets for the dress circle applied for adj
mission, and were refused and the money
returned to them. Another who was in
toxicated, attempted to enter without a
ticket, and was arrested by the police at
the instance of Manager Tom Davy, who,
it is said, will make test case of the con-
stitutionality of the law in the event of
suit brought by those who had tickets.
1t will be remembered that several
years ago railway train fell through a
bridge near Montgomery, Ala, and that
at the time foul play was suspected, and a
man by the name OF Jas. 81. Baxley was
thought to have been the guilty creature
who tempered with the bridge and caused
the death of a number of passengerers
killed in the supposed accident Since
then detectives, it is reported, have been
searching everywhere for the offender.
Day before yesterday Baxley was arrested
at Terrell or some point on the Texas Pa
cifc railway, charged with having com-
mitted the diabolical deed, and is now in
the hands of the authorities. He will
very probably be taken back to Alabama
for trial at an early day.
Gov. Porter, of Tenn. said to a reporter
the other day, in a conversation concern
ing the civil rights bill: 1t was enacted not
to benefit the negro, but to bring about
strife and bloodshed that the Republican
party might wade through human gore to
success in 1876. That party proposed to
make a sacrifice of the poor black man
that il might be continued in power. But
the southern people ought rot to permit
themselves to be entrapped and made the
instruments by which that party might be
perpetuated Though this unconstitu-
tional monstrosity may be hard to bear,
yet we should foil the Republican leaders
in their scheme by doing just what they
did not intend for us to do-to commit no
acts of violence upon any citizen. We
should maintain peace and dignity that
will not only call forth the admiration of
the American people, but contribute 70 the
overwhelming defeat of the Republican
party in 1876.
