Swhipping State Prison Conyicts. ,

The prisoners Of Jefferson City, Mo-, who were engaged in the revolt there were whipped the next night. A corre- spondent who was present describes the whipping as follows i: ! Here cOmesa Oaucasian, a young fel- low with good face, firm step, and all erect carriage, though without bravado. He takes off his shirt coolly and ex- tends his hands to be bound up, grace fully yielding to the hoist which almost takes him off his feet. 5s He would like to see MT. Bradbury. When Bradbury comes he pleads "not guilty to the charge of having participated in the re- volt and says that when the alarm spread in his shop he went down to the old cell, where his cell was, so as to retire; but finding the first door locked, went to- ward a second. The guard is appealed to and confirms the statement and "Ed. Brown marches off, the happiest man in Jefferson City.

It is curious to mark the blows, how Bradbury tries now to plow up toa much space, but to blow deep.

''Imposed upon, have you ?' says Bradbury; "string him up again. The deed is done. The already quiver- ing flesh is made to culver again, and the teeth are gritted together tighter and tighter, though the means caused by the scorchings rawhide cannot help coming, and the face pales to deeper pallor, and the eyes--oh! the look of despair and anglished suffering that looks up at the stone walls in qnutterable desola- ton!

 A Other prisoners are whipped, but time cannot be spent onall. The braggadocio leader in the revolt disgraces his hu- manity when it comes toa little suffering.

Burned to Death.

A house in the outskirts of Cranford, Union county, N. J., was burned, to- gether with two children, who had been locked in by their mother. It appears that a track-walker on the Central rail road of New Jersey, with his family, consisting of his wife and two boys, occupied small frame dwelling con venienta to the railroad, and about q quarter of mile from the town. It had been his usual custom to return to the house at noon for lunch. He failed to come back, and his wife, becoming un- easy, locked the little boys, aged re- spectively seven and eight years, in the house, and started in search of him. It is supposed that the children began playing with the fire, which ignited their clothes and eventually set the house on fire. The charred remains of the un- fortunate children were found in the ruins of the cottage.

A Loaded Gun in the House.

The Adair county Qowa) Reporter gives an account of a singular accident which occurred in Lincoln township, in that county The family were seated at the dinner table. A shot gun in the ad- joining room was thrown down by the jar caused by shutting door, and the gun being discharged, the contents passed through the partition wall, mak- ing hole several inches ill diameter. The report caused Mir. Barnett to spring to the assistance of his wife, thinking her wounded.

Their daughter, aged some ten or twelve years, received few shot in one of her hands.

A Blind Man's Fall.

S LnoAAeoCAVl1o \A0Il. AtCIOtbOeCCCtH JIfto the following: Harvey Fulwider, 8 blind man well known in this community, and who is accustomed to walking around over the country, started out to David Fulwider's, distant about four miles from town. After walking nearly three miles he lost his way and wandered around until 10 o'clock, when his calls for help
 were heard, and he was taken to the resi- dence of Henry T. Martin, where he re- mainedr all night Next morning. after breakfast he left Mr. Martins and pro- ceeded again on his journey. Again he became bewildered, and wandered around through the woods near the coal mines. In his wanderings he found himself in a ravine. After a length of time he climb ed out of 1t, and supposed himself to be on the road. Coming to decliyity he imagined it was the same place he had been in. After feeling around with his cane he concluded he would slide down the hill He started onswhat proved to be @ fearful leap.

The Silver MineA Speculation. IA e1

A Nevada paper gives the following incidents of the excitement there relative to silver mining stocks and the specula- tions in them:

 Then there are many people who have escaped making colossal fortunes, and consequently almost feel poor. There are men who bought Consolidated Vir- ginia nt $60 and sold ct $s20O, or Cali fornia at $5S and sold at $4OO. Since then California and Consolidated Vir- ginia have touched $6OO and $70O. These men are almost unhappy, and spend the time they are not hanging about the stock board counting up what they might have made, as bitterly as if they were bona fde losers. It will be seen how this speculative excitement af fleets business. It may be assumed that every one who can has investetlin stocks. The whole interest of the day is cen tered in quotations, and their complexion gives the tone to the day. Clerks and tradesmen are feverish and excited ;; the man that can sl1irk does it, and is off to the "street," where he hangs about the curb. stones. picking up what hecan of the doings within his tenaperature, rising and falling with the bits, of information he catches .frsm the lips of the. crowd. Human nature is elastic and may re- cover it's tone after this furore has passed away, but it's effect in many respects can not but be disastrous. As in }all such times out of recklessness, and so much, which appears to the uninitiated like "luck," superstition creeps, out, and men who in ordinary circumstances use their reason with common ability, will buy stocks on the same principles as they would choose 8 lottery ticket.

THE LOUISIANA CASE IN CONGRESS.

The decision of the House in the case of
Messrs. Spencer and Morey as presented by
the Clerk, and by the record, does not at all
affect the merits of the controversy between
the two contestants. Mr.. Morey is sworn In as
a member on the certificate presented by him
signed by person recognized as the actual
Governor OF this State. The Clerk is bound
by law to make up the list of new members
those entitled to take part in the organization
from the certificates furnished by the State
authorities. It is difficult to see how he
could have done otherwise than to place Mr..
Morey's name on the list, inasmuch as that
gentleman held certificate signed by the
Acting Governor of Louisiana.
Nor can we censure the House for ap-
proving this course-a course strictly conso-
nant with usage and reason. We can not pre-
sumo that an assembly containing large ma
iority of Democrats could be insensible to the
wrongs perpetrated by the Administration on
the people and on the Democratic party of
Louisiana, or that they do not condemn the
methods and processes by which an intrusive
on this State. The large vote in favor of Mr..
Woods proposition indicates sympathy SO
strong as to tend toward some formal ex
preston of antagonism to the actual govern
ment of Louisiana.
If the method proposed had been consistent
with precedent, we can not doubt that it
would have been adopted. But it does not
seem that reopening of the case in the form
proposed could have been of any practical ad-
vantage to the people Of this State. So far as
the National Democracy is concerned, the case
is made. 1t had a conspicuous and important
influence in educating the public opinion of
of the country up to the point of an emphatic
condemnation of Grants administration, and
that influence it will continue to exert until
the party responsible for the Louisiana out
rage is driven from power.
We hope and We believe. however, that the
House will respond to the voice of public
