Banditti.

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette
1t is very gratifying to the friends
of law and order to see the citizens
of Louisiana and the Democratic par
ty furnishing complete proof of the
truth of Gen. Sheridan's report
When an honest, law abiding citizen
is called horse thief or burglar, or
even 'banditti,' he does not fly into
a violent rage and attempt to knock
somebody down instanter. But if
these names are applied to one whom
everybody suspects has been guilty,
he Immediately flies into a passion at
the charge, and makes desperate eff
forts to prove that he is a very pattern
of goodness. Now, suppose Sheri
dan had telegraphed from here that
the people were 'banditti,' and ask
ing a proclamation giving him power
to take care of US. We should have
had a hearty laugh at it, and said the
man was crazy or drunk, and every
one else would have said so too. But
the people of New Orleans know what
he says about them is true, and that is
what makes it hurt so. That one word
'banditti' is the touch of Ithuriels
spear to the toad that squat at the ear
of Democracy. In an instant it flash
es up into its Satanic form and reveals
it's devilish nature And to think that
Northern Democrats should snap at
that bait and swallow it so eagerly |!
It may be the hook that will land
them foundering on the bank or Salt
River They have made huge blum
der if Republicans have the nerve to
follow up their advantage. The more
they rave and foam at the mouth, and
tear their hair, the worse for them,
for they show either that what has
been done is right, or that they are
endeavoring to make a large capital
out of nothing. They seem to think
that the assertion of one man can des-
troy the character of a whole State !;
and they also reveal, as by fash of
lightning, the umbilical cord that CON
meets them still with the rebels and
White Leaguers. The same old lie
binds them together. You touch one,
and the other kicks. Now let US show
the people the true condition Of af-
fairs, and they will re2udiate Democ-
racy as surely as they have done since
1861.

Rebellion in the Nebraska State
Prison.


OMAHA, Jan. 1.-THE convicts of
the penitentiary at Lincoln, under the
leadership of the notorious McWal-
ters, about three o'clock to day over
powered the inside guards, gained
possession of the armory, and then
drove the outside guards from the
walls, shooting one Julius CASHIER in
the knee, and wounding him severely.
Another is reported dying. Several
shots were fired at citizens who were
approaching with arms, wounding two
The Warden was absent in the city.
His wife, children, and female
convict, are locked in the upper part
of the building. Grave apprehensions
are felt for the safety of the guards
and the Warden's family, as the con-
victs are desperate men. The Warden
and large body of armed citizens are
patrolling outside the prison. The
cenvicts are momentarily expected to
sallysforth, having procured citizens
clothes by stripping the guards.
Governor Furnas having applied to
General Ord for aid, a company of
troops left this evening, on special
train, for Lincoln.

1t was reported on the streets
last week that the Pan Handle R. r.
Co., proposed putting five hundred
men to work on the old Belpre road
bed between here and Washington, on
Monday morning of the present week,
and that the road between here and
that point would be completed at an.
early day. This, as was in all proba-'
bility intended, created quite a futter
in Narrow Gauge circles. It, how
ever, was but momentary, and all be-
gan to look on the new enterprise as
the right thing to dc, and wished it
success.
M Monday morning came, however,
bat the workmen "went not out" as
had been announced, the weather or
something else having interfered. The
engineers have been over the route
and are under orders from headquar-
ters, to GO on and build the road, so
we understand from good authority.
This will not interfere with the narrow
gauge, however, for that will also be
built, and in place of the one road to
the coal fields we will have two, more

ing interests, and cheap freights and

about which many persons have been
skeptical, seems to be a fixed fact
Yesterday, mortgages upon the road
were placed on record in this county

executed to a New York banking

English capitalists have been negotia-

the road is $15, 100000 Grand Haven,
