Undaunted.

The ruffian who attacked and nearly
killed Mr.. Comstock last October, reck-
oned without his host, if he thought, as he
evidently did, that he had disabled him
permanently, or checked his enthusiasm
for and conservation to his work. The
men engaged in the production and sale
of pernicious literature borrowed courage
from his temporary inability to prosecute
it in person; and the temporary character
of merely legal reform was strikingly
exemplified by the fact that the business
sprang up again, though in greatly dimin-
ished measure, as soon as its chief enemy
was out of the way. Last Sunday, under
Mr.. Comstock's direction, and as result
of his skillful plans, a descent was made
on Photographic printing establishment
in Fulton street. 1t was so sudden and
unexpected that the parties were detected
at their work. A hundred and two mega
tive plates, each containing four pictures,
and a thousand finished photographs,
ready printed and mounted, besides
great number in an unfinished state, were
seized The negatives included all the
originals of the obscene pictures which
have been known to be circulated within
the past few months. 1t was a horrible
feature of this horrible business, that side
by side with these pictures were plates
representing the Crucitixion. SO the devil
uses even the most sacred scenes as cover
for his most villainous transactions. The
parties are in prison awaiting trial.
We congratulate Mr.. Comstock on his
success. and the country on this evidence
that he is none the less vigorous and Ell
fective in his work for the blow inflicted
ON him. Long may he live to continue
it.-INustrated Christian Weekly.

SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
Democratic and Republican Senators
Arranging Their Schedule OF
Committees and Business.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Repub
Iican members of the senate are in eau
Gus this afternoon. There is q full at.
tendance, including Senators Christian
cy, Cameron of Wisconsin, and Pad.
dock. The Democratic senators are
holding a formal consultation. Ex-
President Johnson is not at eithel
meeting.
The Republican caucus, as the result
of more than three hours discussion, de.
cided that the senate shall take action
on the resolutions submitted. The first
resolution declaring P. B. S. PinchbacB
entitled to his seat in the senate; the
second resolution declaring the Kellogg
administration the legal government Of
Louisiana. Some of the senators wanted
the order or consideration reversed.
Senators Logan, Howe, Frelinghuysen
Morrill,, Sargent, Wright and Spencer
were appointed a committee to revise
the standing committees. A similar
committee, consisting of Senators Ste
venson, BOgy, Salisbury, Davis and
White, was appointed by a Demo
cratic caucus to confer with the Re
publican committee as to the rep.
resentation of the minority, with
instructions to inform the Republicans
that the Democrats are entitled to and
expect to have, in view Of their increased
numbers, an increased representation Oh

THE FRESHET OVER.
The n Memphis and Charleston Railroad
Running Trains Through and Mak-
ing All Connections.

Official dispatches at late hour last
night gave the welcome information
that the Western and Atlantic railroad
is again in running order since the
recent freshet, and that communication
between Memphis and the east and
southeast is once more established by
way of the Memphis and Charleston,
and Nashville and Chattanooga roads.
We learn that the freshet in the Ten.
nessee and Cumberland rivers, and
which was so disastrous in East Ten
nessee, has reached Clarksville and
Johnsonville, below, and is endangering
the railroads at those points. The Men,
phis and Charleston road is all right to
Chattanooga, and we learn that through
freight and passenger trains will run
regularly from Memphis by Monday at
furtherest. The intelligence that the
through route ViG Grand Junction,
Corinth, Decatur and Chattanooga, is
all right, is therefore the more welcome,
and we presume our people will eagerly
avail themselves of the opportunity OF
renewing their business and social rela.
tions with their friends east and south
east who have been cut off by the late
unaXnacted frfshet

LITTLE RHODY AROUSED. 4
The E1erORchments of the Central
Power, which New England has
FOstered and Encouraged,
Felt and Denounced,

New YORK, March Ex-Governor
Howard, Of Rhode Island, presented to
the senate of that State yesterday the
report Of the chief constable relative to
the official interference of the United
States by Marshall Coggershell at the re-
cent seizure of liquors which were under
the protection of the State. On pre-
senting the report the governor made a
speech, in the course of which he said !:
SIN the collision between the officers OF
the State and the United States, 1 was
called on by member of the constabula-
ry and informed of an existing difficulty
and asked to interfere in the matter.
Although there was not any doubt in
my mind that might direct q portion
OF the military establishment Of the
State to sustain the State officers of the
law, yet prudence required that the
question might better be decided by the
court than by the intervention Of the
military. / therefore directed the con-
stabulary to make no further effort to
seize the liquor then held by the United
States marshal and chief of police. AS
the result, this has been plscarded as a
victory on the part of the United States
marshal and his deputy. l agree fully
with the universal opinion that these
attachments are collusive aud thinly-
disguised shame, and l share the gener-
al sense of modification at the indignity
| to which our commonwealth was sub
jected. realize, also, the gravity Of the
situation, and recognize as our i'm
Lerative duty to take measures for
early and proper adjustment of the ques-
ton. There have been dinned into our
ears for the past six months threats in
regard to Fort Adams and the revenue
cutters; but so long as these threats were
words, and rude words, they have been
treated as such; yet, when it is grsvely
stated by an intelligent and respectable
journal that troops from Fort Adams
and the United States revenue cutter
Samuel Dexter had been placed at the
disposal of the marshal, it seems proper
to ask, Why is this done? 1t must be
for q purpose-waging war on the peo-
people Of State who from the date
OF its settlement have been noted
for their intelligent conservatism and
patriotism. Your presence here, SEN
ators, is a mockery and a farce
when such proceedings as these are sus-
tanned by the Federal government,
your honorable judiciary and executive
may as we'll resign their Office and leave
the control and direction of State affairs
to subordinates Of the; United States gov
eminent. No graver question has been
forced upon the State since its first set
tlement. 1t is vital question, for in il
are involved the sovereignty of State
and harmonious relations with the
United States. The little State of Rhode
Island is entitled on such points to equal
respect as larger States or the genera

ating disturbances in hotels, theaters
and other places of amusement. 1t pro-
vides that persons who create disturb
ances in hotels by boisterous demands
for accommodations, after the proprietor
or his agent has declined to entertain
them for want of room or other reason
able specified causes, shall be pun
ished by fine and Imprisonment.
In the case of theaters, managers are to
have and issue reserved-seas tickets,
stamped mot transferable" and when
the party is not the original purchaser
who demands admittance, the door
keeper can refuse him; but the price OF
the ticket must be refunded, and If he
refuses to take the money, and thereby
creates disturbances, he is liable to arrest
and fine. In both cases half the fine
goes to the hotel-keeper or manager, as
the case may be. There are similar pro-
visions regarding steamboats, and rail-
roads.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, March 6-The
recent memorial presented in the United
States senate by Spencer, was printed
this morning and denounced for its state
ments. Senator Harris [white Republi-
can1 rose in his seat on the question of
privilege and denounced the memorial.
He said he had never signed it-had
never seen it until this morning; that
he voted for nearly all the laws which
the memorial denounced, and concluded
with the statement that his name was
forged. Senator Royal [coloredl said J.
B. Bingham brought the paper to him
and asked his signature; he did not read
it, but understood the paper to be petit
ton to make Arthur Bingham pOstmas-
ter Of Montgomery. He said he would
never have signed the memorial know
ingly. Another negro senator said he
thought he was signing protest against
Parsons appointment to the United
States iudgeship. Several other Repub-
lican senators repudiated all knowledge
of it. The senate appointed commit
tee to find out who were the parties
