CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

After long and wearisome debate the
United States Senate, on Wednesday, adopted
q resolution, by vote of 80 to 90, declaring
that P. B. S. Pinchback is not entitled to a
seat in that body as Senator from the State
of Louisiana, claim which he has persistent
ly asserted for the past four years. Five re-
publican Senators united with the democrats
in settling the vexed question.
In the House, on the same day, a resOlu-
ton was adopted, directing that the resOlu-
ton instructing the committee on the judi
ciary to prepare articles Of impeachment
against W. W. Belkuap, late Secretary of war,
for high crimes and misdemeanors in Office, be
reeOmmitted to said committee With power to
take further proof, &c.

SHOCKING RAILROAD DISASTER.
Eleven Persons Killed and Seven
Wounded.

An appalling disaster occurred on Monday
night of last week, about twelve o'clock, on
the Harper's Ferry and Valley branch of the
Baltimore aud Ohio railroad, at the Narrow
Passage bridge. fifty-three miles southwest of
CharlestOwn and sixty three miles southeast
of Stauuton, by which train comprising
eleven loaded cattle cars, FIVE freight cars and
one passenger coach. was wrecked. Eleven
lives were lost and seven or eight persons
wounded. The train was precipitated through
the middle span of wooden bridge III feet
to the rocky bottom of small stream. The
cars and their contents of eighteen human be
ings, l25 head eff cattle, sheep and hogs, were
dashed to pieces and piled up in shapelesa
mass, in which rafters. iron rails, machinery
and maugled flesh aud blood were mixed in
inextricable confusion. There were fourteen
passengers in the passenger coach, eight of
whom were killed. Three train hands were
also of the killed, and no one on the train

SHREvEPcRE, La. september l, 1876.
Hon. Aleck lsoai;nauls addressing one of
the largest meetings eyer sssemb bled in
Shreveport.
He first started in the open air, and a
rain came up. The entire crowd followed
him to the Opera House, where he went to
finish his speech. The hall is densely packed
by the audience listening to him.
His speech is thoroughly Republican, and
is being listened to with the greatest atten-
ton.
Mr.. Boarman is one of the finest orators
in North Louisiana, and his speech tonight
will do the party great deal of good.
He is speaking from practic Il stand-
point, and the people, knowing he was born
among them, and having implicit con iidence
in his political views, are listening to him
with marked attention.
The meeting is about equally divided be :
tween whites and colored.

VIII MIR. Tilden withdraw

1t becomes a very serious question for the
Democracy whether Mr.. Tilden shall volun-
tarily withdraw from the canvass for the
presidency, or whether the patty shall with
draw him.
1t is nearly a hunr rcd wears since the
constitution was ad opted. We are engaged
IN our twenty. .econd election of Presi-
dent; and it ssver happened before that
any cano'. .sfs for the presidency was clear
y conv ,e.sd of detreuding the government
thrc, c,ash perjury. 1t is the most scanda lous
lad terrible position in which man asking
to be made the chief magistrate OF the Ma
ton was ever placed. To suppose that the
people could elect a President with such q
black stain upon his personal honor is to
suppose that they have lost all reason.
There is no other safe or honorable course
ont of the way, Will he withdraw himself.
or will the party be compelled to withdraw

OUACHITA.

McCranfe's Daily Report Of the Demo-
cratic Conspiracy at Monroe.
MONROE, September 1.-George w.
McCranie, editor of the Ouachita Telegraph,
. White League paper, sends the following:
Fresh excitement sprang up last night In
consequence of reports that negroes we've.
arming in the northern part of this parish.
and coming here to burn the town. About
seventy-fve negroes, mounted and on foot,
were found at Captain Phillips place. A
parley ensued, and the negroes refused to
disarm. and said they would come back
with 500 men. Captain Thebalds, wi tn ff-
teen men, blockaded the road with rails.
The news spread rapidly, and the whites,
armed, from this and Morehouse parishe
was intense, but nothing occurred, and
not a gun was fred. The whites, including
the best men of the country, acted with the
greatest tOrbearance. One freedman. of
the armed negroes, said they were told to
arm by the sheriff of the parish, who is q
colOred man, and come to Monroe and burn
the town.
In the Southern portion of the parish,
where houses were fired into, and the trOu-
BILE began, leading citizens report all quiet
Some scattering demonstrations, they say ,
were made last night, but nothing serious.
The situation is decidedly anxious, but the
leading citizens are proceeding with pru-
dence and moderation. Not q loud word
has been heard in town.
The steamer Jimmie Baker, lying at the
Trenton wharfboat, exploded her boiler
to-day. Eight persons were killed or
wounded. Two colored deck hands were
killed, and the barkeeper. Joe Sintas, is ex-
pected to die. Captain E. s. Austin, pilot,
received two serious flesh wounds, but
they will not prove fatal. The boat WAS
worth $4,000. and is Q total loss. The
cabin and hull were both blown to pieces,
and the wreck sunk.
No discovery has been made to identify
the murderer Of DR.. Dinkgrave, who was
buried yesterday.

A California revivalist, according to the

Between the acts he shoulders his way

South Pass.

Everything seems to be coleur de rose
with the jetty operators at present, to Judge
by the communications in two of our con-
temporaries yesterday morning, bearing
the initials respectively of Max E. Schmidt,
Captain Eads' chief draughtsman, and G..
w. r. Bayley, the resident jetty engineer.
1t is impossible to avoid the inference, from
their statements, that there is more than
twenty feet of water through the jetties,
and that South Pass is now the best outlet
for the commerce of New Orleans. In fact
we are met with the statement in our ex-
changes daily that nearly all the vessels
going and coming now 60 through the
South Pass. This statement does not tally
with our own river reports, but no matter.
Captlin Eads and Colonel Andrews and
their families are passengers On the steamer
New Orleans, which is due here this morn
ing. The passage of this vessel through
South Pass from the Gulf, by the new city
Of Esdsport and up to the levee, with these
distinguished people, will doubtless cause
much jubilation among the friends of the
ietties to-day.
