A Sioux city journal, Of late date, says
On last Friday morning soldiers under Capt.
Walker entered camp at Gordon City,
Neb., aud burned fourteen wagons, rations,
supplies and arms, and destroyed everything
belonging to the Black Hills Transportation
Company, except some baggage which they
loaded on some remaining wagons, and
started for Fort Randall, making the men
go on foot, some Of them being barefooted,
their clothing having been destroyed. The
mules gave out on the way, and much "f the
baggage was thrown out After the capture
the officers ransacked the campaigning them
selves to anything they could use, and then
turned the soldiers loose on the remainder
without hindrance.

TnE village Of Osceola, in Pennsylva-

The residents are rendered utterly des-

houses, swept through the woods and
fields surrounding them, destroying

occupants Of the houses to places of sup

The Old Taylor Farm.

Vice-President Wilson, in company
with Gen. James A. Ekin, of the Quar-
termasters Department, visited the grave
Of Gen. Zachary Taylor, about five miles
distant from Louisville, recently. The
old Taylor farm" was subdivided some
time ago and sold, the family burying
ground, however, being reserved. This
is about one acre in extent and quarter
Of mile from the old family mansion I;
it is inclosed by a substantial limestone
wall. In the southwestern corner of the
lot is the family vault, the massive stones
of which are rapidly crumblng and tall

Gen. Taylor's tomb is only kept in place

has propped against il. The grounds are

ficult to walk through them. Many Of
the trees seem blighted and lifeless, and
the entire inelosure looks extremely
desolate and uninviting. Standing be-
side Gen. Taylor's grave with uncovered
head, the Nice-President's first exclama-
tion was, "How strange and sad that the
burial place OF one who shed so much
luster upon the military and civic an
mails of his country should be thus neg
lected and forgotten :" His face bright

General business in this city is exceedingly
dull, considering the time of the year, owing
principally to the low water in the Red and
Oaachita rivers The Western produce mar
ket is stagnant There is but small demand
for -four, and there is light supply of corn,
which is sold at somewhat steadier prices.
The receipts Of sugar have been liberal for the
past three days, and have met more active
demand at frmer prices. Molasses has been
dull and dropping. Cotton has come in freely,
and has been in good demand for European
markets, with q tendency in favor OF buyers
Every day brings with it telegraphic re-
ports of failures in the large cities at the
North and West, and we have had cause to
congratulate ourselves that New Orleans has
been remarkably free from similar mercantile
disasters. Within the past six days, how
ever, we have had two failures in the whole
sale grocery trade, which caused for the time
no little sensation; but we have the strongest
assurances that they are not likely to be fol-
lowed by others of like character in this CITY,
Our merchants have been, for some time past,
pursuing a most prudent and conservative
course, and we honestly believe that there is
no city in the United States whose credit
rests upon firmer and surer basis than that
of New Orleans.

The burning of the steamship City of Waco,
off Galveston bar, has been attributed by very
many persons to the fact that she had on
board. as portion of her cargo, large quaint.
ties OF kerosene oil, which became ignited
and caused the destruction of the steamer.
The truth of this report should be carefully
investigated by the proper authorities, and il
proven, the owners should be subjected to the
proper punishment. The laws Of the United
States expressly forbid the carrying of oil or
any inf ammable materials on passenger
steamers, when there is any other route or
line by which it can be shipped. The law is
generally applied to vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade, but if the City of Waco dis
aster did occur on this account, the law will
doubtless be rigidly enforced, and its infrac-
ton severely punished. All laws looking to
the safety of passengers should be implicitly
obeyed, and the least violation Of their pro-
visions should be so speedily and effectively
followed by retributive justice, as to make it q
dangerous matter for the offenders. We un-
derstand that Mr.. Low, United States Super
vising Inspector Of Steamboats,. will institute
an immediate investigation, with the view of
clearing up the entire matter.

LIGHT BREAD.

There are very many of our citizens who
use altogether what is generally known as
'baker's bread" and purchase the same by the
loaf from bread wagons, corner groceries and
market stands. To these people the size and
weight of each loaf is of Importance, and it
behoves them to investigate closely and see
whether or not they are receiving value for
the money they expend. There have been
several raiCs made upon the bakers OF the
city in order to enforce them to furnish to
their customers the proper weight, and in
many instances astonishing developments
have been made in the way of short weights
sold by them to their customers. A friend OF
ours lately being satisfied that he was re-
ceiving much less than value, bought ten
cent loaf from corner grocery, and, after
weighing it, found it only contained twenty
ounces. He then bought five cent loaf from
Margaret's Steam Bakery and ascertained
positively that its weight WAS twenty-five
ounces, more than double the weight OF the
loaf sold for ten cents at the grocery.
Now, if Margaret can afford to sell her
bread, which Is made of the best flour and
kneaded by steam, thus rendering it perfectly
free from all impurities, at such low rates,
why cannot others do the same. Il would be
we'll for our citizens to extend their patron
age to those who show the best disposition to
give them value received. Margaret is go
ahead, business woman, and deserves the sue
cess she has won by her energy and industry.
Let the bakers and dealers find out that their
customers will go elsewhere to purchase their
bread unless they are served wi h the best
article in proper proportions. and at reasona-
BILE rates, and we guarantee the good example
set by Margaret will soon be followed by
them all

The papers of Wednesday morning con.
tanned full account of railroad accident
which occurred on the day previous to q
south bound train, on the New Orleans, St
Louis and Chicago Railroad, at Lower Wes-
son Station, Mississippi in which, though nc
serious wounds were received by any Of the
passengers, several were slightly injured.
These passengers are all deeply grateful tc
Col. ]. M. Wesson, whose thoughtful kind.
ness greatly relieved their suffsrings and
their wants. As soon as the accident occurred,
Col wesson opened his doors to all, and ex-
tended every possible hospitality, for which
he positively refused the slightest recon-
pense. He will long be gratefully remem.
bered by the many whose suferings he
assuaged and whom be made SO comfortable
during their deten ion.

Smoot and Oman, the Owen county Ku-
klux conspirators, were sentenced at Louis
vile, November 4, by Judge Emmons, OF the
United States District Court, to ipprison-
ment in the State penitentiary at Frankfort,
the first for five years, the second for three
years. Moffet, who was found guilty with the
others by the same verdict, was not sentenced,
for the reason that the jury had recommended
him to the leniency of the court. and that he
was suffering from a wound received at the
time of committing the offense for which he
was convicted.
The counts on which the prisoners were
convicted charge them with conspiring to in
jure Willis Russell while engaged in the law
full discharge of his duty as United States
officer, and in endeavoring to execute this
conspiracy by pursuing him with armed
bands of men with the purpose of killing
him.
In order to mitigate the humiliation of their
respectable relatives and friends, the prisoners
asked to be sent to some prison outside of
Kentucky, but the court did not recognize
the reasons for such change and refused to
order it.

Pinchback is said to be engaged in writing
personal letters to Republican Senators, urg-
ing his claims, and his reasoning is pretty
hard to get around. If Kellogg is Legally
Governor of Louisiana, he says he is Legally
Senator elect, and entitled to recognition. 1t
would be mighty intere sting to read the re-
plies to that sort of logic. -Gnctnnot Co"'-
mercidL
1t isn't often that we can agree with Pinch.'
bu. evidently his head is not very far from
level on this matter, and it is difficult to see
how the Senate can reject him. unless 1t Is
prepared to deny the legality OF the Kellogg
usurpation. Will the Senate dare be just and
overthrow that which the President
Merton and Williams set up with SO
much care, and which has been supported
by the bayonets of the United States Ana
if not how will it dispose of the persistent
Pinchback? Will it dodge the Issue thus
fairly and squarely presented by digging up
the musty records of the past against Pinch
and reject him upon high moral grounds OF
will it swallow its contempt for the man ana
embrace him as one more vote for the party
twill be curious and interesting to note the
squirming of the Radical Senators on this
Pinchback matter. We incline to the opinion
that some way will be found by which the
Scyl!a of Pinchback will be avoided as well
as the Charybdis of Kellogg. In other words,
Pinch will be left out in the cold, while the
Senate will avoid offending the President "
interfering with the Usurpation in Louisiana,
and it will defend the latter action by point
ing to the Compromise, which they will claim,
however illogically. should set the matter at
rest until the next election. Then will be
gathered the bitterest fruit borne by the fatal
compromise tree.
