tion tonight about the prospective verdict of The

that when the jury WIS first organized they were

profess to have seen things which give just
cause for suspicion, and are couyiacel that

noticed that during the trial Gen Mcdonald

and this unnatural circumstance il attributed to
consciousness OF having at least secured q hung

The committee have no doubt about the
feeling of the people of Louisiana towards
Kellogg and his usurpers, and set at rest the
charge that they are hostile to the general
government. The committee say:
'lf Louisiana was Il country by ITSELF McEnery
and his associates would nj once be installed in
power, bat the Conservatives of Louisiana do
not propose to fight the Federal Government.
They submit not because they want to, hut be-
cause they must, not because they proclaim any
enmity against the flag, not because free labor
has not been found practicable, not because of
any hostility to the colored people because they
are colored, but because they regard themselves
as defrauded out of the election of 1872 and vet
MORE out of the last election, and because they
think their State Government has been TO the
last degree destructive and corrupt. Indeed, in
our Judgment, the substantial citizens of the
State will submit to any fair determination OF
the question of the late election, or to anything
by which they can secure a firm and good gov
crnmcnt. What they seek is peace and an op-
portunty for prosperity. To that end they will
support any form Of government that will afford
them just protection; in their distress they have
got beyond any mere question ofpolitical party.
The committee conclude their report by
an account Of the occurrences Of January 4th,
in regard TO the dispersonoft the Legislature,
which corroboralcs the version given by the
Associated Press and by Speaker Wilt.
The Committee do not undertake 10 re-
commend remedy for the state of things
detailed in their report, but leave that mat
ter entirely TO Congress. The report, coming
as it does from three men of such acknowl-
edged fairness and candor, and two of them
supporters Of the Administration, is an I'M
answerablc argument against the policy pur-
sued by the President towards Louisiana, and
scatters the falsehoods Of Sheridan to the
winds. Honest men Of all political parties
have cause to thank Messrs. Foster, Phelps
and Potter for the pains they have taken
to arrive at the truth, and for the fair and un-
partisan manner in which they have told it.

And the white brow, as au angels hand
Had smoothed it for the skies.
She faded as lovely flower
Drops in ungenial air,
The death. blast pass'd thro' loves sweet bower,
And fell'd the fairest there.
We marked the round cheek wasting fast,
The coral lips grow pale,
And laid our idol and our last
Within the soddcn vale
The rose will bloom above her head.
The wild birds MARBLE there,
But she is with the silent dead
While we are mourning here.

Tho our sad hearts are riven,
We know that mid q holy host,
Our darling lives in heaven.

THE PEACH BoTToM RAILwAY.-The an.
nual meeting of the stockholders Of the Peach
Bottom Railway was held at Peach Bottom,
on Monday, January 11th. The report CT
the President was read, and a committee, con-
sisting OF Messrs. ]. q. A. McConkey, Will
liam Wallace, Hugh T. Heaps, VIM. Ross and
VIM Young, appointed to nominate officers
to be elected for the ensuing year. The COM
mittee named for President s. G. Boyd; for
| Treasurer, Il. c. Manifold; for Secretary,
VIM. Wallace, and the old board Of directors,
with the exception Of John Humphreys in
stead of Mr.. Finlcy-all Of whom were elect
ed.
The annual report states that the business
of the road has been satisfactory and its af-
fairs are in q prosperous condition. The
road is narrow gauge, and is intended to run
between Oxford and York, Pa. A portion
| is completed and the cars running from each
end. The western division is 80 miles in
| length, and extends from York to Peach Bot
tom. On this portion of the road the cars
are running from York TO the forks of Muddy
| Creek, a distance of 90 miles. Of the remain
| ing portion of the western division IA miles
arc graded, and force is now at work
I finishing the grading to Peach Bottom. 1t
is expected that the whole road will be COM
pleted and the connection of the two diyi-
sions made at Peach Bottom by next fall.
| The cars have lcen running over the west
ern division rs far rs the forks of Muddy
| Creek for about two weeks. The net amount
of profits of the western division for the
month previous TO the meeting were $500.
The road is realizing enough TO pay I per
| cent. on its entire Indebtedness. 1t is being
built and equipped, it is stated, for less than
| $4,000 per mile. On the eastern division
the cars are running for distance of 12 miles
from Oxford toward Peach Bottom.
The merchants of Baltimore hardly realize
the fact, we think, that this road, when COM
| pleted, will divert large portion of the pro-
ducc of York and the north eastern portion
of Hartford counties from Baltimore, its na-
tural, and to The people more desirable, mar
ket. Scarcely any county in the State is so
destitute ofrailway facilities for Transporting
its agricultural productions TO the city OF
Baltimore as Hartford and there is no section
better suited for raising food for the wants
ofa large metropolis than our county. All
we need is railroad. That q road through
Hartford would be profitable investment OF
capital there is abundant evidence in the
| success of the Peach Bottom Railway.

Another Military Outrage.
THE SHERIFF OF yICKsBURG ELECTED FROM
OFFICE BY FEDERAL SOLDIERS

OFFICE BY FEDERAL SOLDIERS.
VIcKsDURG, Jan. 19.-Major George L.
Head with squad of Federal troops with
fixed bayonets acting, it is said, under orders
from Gen. Emory, to-day entered the Sheriff's
office here and forcibly elected Sheriff A. ].
Flanagan, who was in possession by virtue
of the recent election, about the validity of
which there is constitutional question. His
right to the Office has not, however, been
questioned by any legal proceedings. The
military appear to have acted upon army or
ders alone. Major Head reported his action
to Chancellor Hill, who was holding court in
an adjacent room, by whom the action of the
military was counlcnanced and seemingly ap.
proved.
Sheriff Flanagan also reported the facts to
Chancellor Hill, and appealed to the Court
to protect him in the discharge of his duties,
which request was refused.
The Chancellor appointed w. II. McGhec
Sheriff pro tena,, and he was placed in pos.
session of the office by the military. McGhce
(whte) is republican, and was deputy I'M
der Sheriff Crosby. Chancellor Hill upon
opening court two weeks ago adjourned it
until to-day, in order to determine what
course he would take in reference to the
Sheritfalty. Members of the bar present pro-
tested against the court allowing and appa-
rcntly approving of the military interference
with its officers as q violation of all law and
the destruction of civil government.
