this most formida BILE Of poisonous

worst of the snake is, he will not run
away when attacked. He will not
only turn upon his enemy, but will
pursue him. We read in DR.. Fayrers

4 HZGHTONED PROTEST.

That indignation meeting in Cooper Institute,
which was SO industriously advertised and loudly
heralded, and which was to give voice to the pro-
test of the people, "rrespective of party, against
the Federal interference in Louisiana, resulted
pretty much as might have been expected. Only
two or three reputable Republicans took any part
in it large number of the old Democratic wal
horses were ranged on the platform, and for
the audience, it was made up chiefly Of the great
unwashed who surged through the hall, drove
the reporters from their seats, clambered into the
organ loft vented their humor in coarse jests, and
yells, ard laughter, and in appearance and bear
ing suggested Tammany circus. August Bel
mont's attempt to open the meeting was met with
laughter and yells, and cries Of Turn him out
The venerable poet, Bryant, was saluted with
shouts of "Turn him out" "Get ont, yon Custom
House thief - Tell him to speak up louder, etc
Altogether the crowd was singularly hilarious
and good natured, considering that it was called
au indignation" meeting; and the bucombe from
the platform was met with laughter and jeers from
the floor. If anything was needed to demonstrate
the flimsy and artificial character ofthe Democrat
ic uproar over this Louisiana matter, this called
indignation meeting would serve the purpose very
well. Boston Journal.

THE MESSAGE ~ WASHINGIOA.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston

7HE NE SSAGE ~ " a SHIAt IO-'.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Journal says:
The Presidents Messag emeets the general APP
prova, o! the republicans here, IN Congress and
ont of Congress, and it will inaugurate confidence
in the strength Of those political truths which 1t
so plainly announces. Facing the storm OF at
tack from the democrats, and with fire IN the
rear from those republicans who have imagined
that he stoutly sustained the supremacy OF the
bayonet, the President has calmly told Congress
and the country exactly what he has done and
what he thinks that Congress should do. The
message states fully and fearessly the real condi
ton of affairs in the Southern States, and can but
secure the sympathy and conviction Of the great
mass Of the republican party.
The correspondence of the Advertiser is as fo4-
lows:
The Presidents message Louisiana seems
to be generally satisfactory to the republi-
cans at the capitol, for it was hardly expected
that it would throw any new light upon the
events of which it treats. Some there are, how
ever on both sides, who 20 so far as to pronounce
it the ablest document which has issued from the
White House during the present administration.
The Democrat do not conceal their disappolnt-
ment at the position assumed by the admnstra
ton, many having fully believed that it would take
an aggressive attitude III support OF federal inter
ference. Their comment is that the message Is
very shrewd political man@uvrc, and by 1t they
acknowledge the administration has taken most Of
the wind out of their sails.
A despatch to the Globe saysi
The special message of the President to day.
upon Louisiana affairs gives great comfort and
resolution to republicans, and carries with 1t Sc
we're disappointment to the opposition. 1t was
generally expected by the democracy that he
would make bitter and strong defence of Sheri-
dan and his action in New Orleans, which would
have given them almost impregnabic position
in which TO fight The cOncilitOry tone and tenn
per of the message is favorably commented upon
by republicans of all shades Of belief, and there
is, undoubtedly, more harmony in the party at the
pre- sent time than there has been for years.

REroLT or PRISONERS At 0H4H1

The revolt in the Lincoln penitentiary began
late in the afternoon, Monday, when one of the
inside guards was overpowered and bound, which
was instantly followed by well concerted plan OF
tying several others. The convcts then took po-
sess ion of the armory and dressed themselves in
clothes from the wardrobe of the guards and COM
menced firing ON the guards on the wall, one of
whom was severely wounded. The prisoners now
had complete control inside. Fortunately, how
ever, the alarm was given in time TO summon
enough armed citizens to keep the prisoners inside
the latter keeping up fire upon the citizens dur
ing the entire night. Grave apprehensions were
felt for the safety of Mrs. Woodhurst and children
the family Of the Warden, who were inside all
night; and it was thought that the prisoners would
attempt to escape through the gates and protect
themselves from the fire of citizens by forcing Mrs.
Woodhurst and children with them. Governor
Furnace tslegraphed to General Ord for troops,
early, and & company took their departure from
here special train at o'clock, last night, ar
irving at Lincoln prison at midnight. The pris-
oners fired on the troops, who prepared to storm
the prison when the firing ceased and, this morn
ing, the prisoners surrendered to the soldiers, and
are now under complete control. Everything is
quiet. Only one of the guards was wounded.
