Much excitement has been created
at Centralia, in Schuylkill county, by
the caving in Of portions Of the
ground in the lower section of the
town. The surface cracks and crum-
b1es continually, and has become
completely honeycombed. Above
Garrett & Co.'S mines the ground is
slowly settling and the miners hav.
all refreshed to stay in the mines.

shooting him through the heart
Another shot from citizen also
brought down robber and third
one was wounded. Seeing the citi-
zens were likely to give good &C
count of themselves in the fight, the
surviving thieves hastely mounted
their horses and made off. A band
of citizens started as soon as possible
in pursuit. The robbers did not get
into the vault and got little or no
money. We have no further partlcu'
lars of the affair. The pursuers were
said to be only twenty minutes be-
hind the robbers and it will be pro-
voking if we never know whether
they caught them or not.

we could not regret their folly if they ad-
here to q policy which has driven from
their ranks such multitudes of men, that
has placed them in the minority in the
Union, and which will drive them out of

At the first elections it would clear the
Senate, and purge the House of every
guilty actor in wrons doing. They have
more political power to lose outside of
the Capitol at Washington than the hon

selfish schemes of few leaders.

have been tempted to follow the shadow

ghost of success, which would lead to a
political grave. We trust that talmer
moments will bring wiser counsels, for in
the end their own partisans will con-

Lieut.. Gov. Antoine visited the Custom
House Wednesday morning.
Gov. Kellogg will leave for Washing
ton the fore part of next month.
-. Colored ex-Senators and Represents
tives are arriving in the city, and rallying at

The United States District Court is now
daily crowded with itigants, and the cases
long pending upon its dockets are being rap

Major Leech is to organize an Irish rifle team
for Philadelphia.
The deputation of the Irish Rifle Associa-

to the organization Of an Irish team BY that
gentleman included nearly all of the 1875 in

Capt Miidmay, Secretary of the National

Irish team has definitely settled, in the ne ga

representation. though Sir Henry Halford has

team should be accredited unless under the

4 MEDICAL QUESTION.

The following correspondence was sent to
us last evening:
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA,

New ORLEANS March ~, 1876.
DR.. A. Chastant:
Dear Sir-In compliance with your earnes.
request, we state that in the de cision as to
Dr.. J. 3. Cooper, rendered yesterday by the
Medical Board, the first resolution is as orig
inally written, SO as to express adequately and
with full force our opinion, viz; to the etfsct
that ''Dr. Cooper in his official certificate
did show gross carelessness or gross anatomi-
cal ignorance "a fact sufficiently manifest
from the words quoted from said certificate:
"some sharp cutting instrument entering the
thyroid cartilage. passing into the trachea
Just above the epiglottis." The suppression
of the appropriate adjectives was sgreed to in
order to obtain unanimity of opinion.

The Board of Physicians committed an
error and an unintentional injustice against
me in stating that, The Coroner did, in DR..
Oooper's presence, announce that he was sat

was that was satisfied, not as to the cause of
death, but as to the anatomical nature and ex-
tent of the wound.

THE FALLING CURTAIN.
The Crooked Drama Near Close.

The worst of the agony is apparently over,
of the governments roll of those its officers
charge with the violation of the internal rev.
enue law. From day to day, during the last
two months, the Grand Jury have handed in
one name after another of our citizens
indicted for misdemeanors week after
week closed with nv battalions ar
rayed before the public as having committed
some heinous offense, and now the people are
beginning to think it is about time that the
trials should take place. Nothing is easier
than to procure an indictment bsfore grand
jury. Al that is required under the law is
that prina facie case should be made out to
bring forth true bill, and this prima ,facie
case can be presented on the affidavit of q
single witness, and proves nothing.
What the people now want is the trials
prosecuted contradictory with the defend
ant, who will have the right of cross.examina-
ton, and then the guilt or innocence of the
accused will be tested. The public begin to
think that the delays incident to the opening
Of the trials has been too great, and the
odium attaching to the parties indicted ought
to be either removed by an acquittal, or the
guilty should be punished.
At the Circuit Court Wednesday morning
there was somewhat more than the usual
number of the curious, but up to noon the
deputies had not brought in any of the eight
indicted parties for arraignment, except w.
A.. Todd, who was present in the Custom
House, prepared to give bond.
The Grand Jury were discharged until
Thursday, there being no witnesses present,
after which District Attorney Beckwith had
the names Of about one hundred defendants
called, against whom informations have been
filed for carrying on business without procur-
ing an internal revenue license. Capiases
were issued for all Of them.
These cases are insignif cant, as most of
the parties have good defenses to set up.
Supervisor Teton left Chicago bound
hither Saturday last and is expected very
soon. His presence here will doubtless give
an impetus to the crooked" trials, as he will
be reinforced by Dyer and Broadhead, who
will participate in the prosecution before the
courts.
In the afternoon @. w. Wills was arraigned
upon the same charge as the others were
Tuesday, and was placed under $4,000 bond,
a. Newman going on his bond; after which
W. NJ. Todd, an ex-gauger, was arraigned on
a. like charge and released on bond, j. W.
Madden becoming surety.

Washington specials continue to intimate
that the evidence before the investigating
committees is damaging to the President II
may be more dificult to make out Q case
against Grant, but there is growing convic-
ton in the public mind that, under the cir.
cumstances, the guiltiest and most unscrupu-
lous Of the whole lot is the occupant of the
White House. His position ON the salary

is not the man to consider his purse trash nor

THE LATE STORM.
Crevasse at POinte.a.la. Hache.
Great Damage to Stock and Crops.

The terrible gale that swept over our city
last Sunday visited other portions of our
State, causing great damage to the planters,
destroying crops, etc. At Pointe.a-la Hache,
in the parish of Paquemines. the storm king
ragged with great fury, the day Sunday, the
10Th, being ushered in with rain and high
winds.
During the day and until 6 O'Clock P. NJ.
the wind blew from the southeast, but at that
hour it veered around to the south, blowing
gale, and driving the water and floating logs,
of which there was . large quantity in the
river, against the bend in the levee, between
the plantations of Messrs. Casimir D1plessis
and Baptiste Lac, causing break of about
three miles, the water rushing through the
gap and overlooking the country to the extent
of three or four miles back, sweeping away
fsnces, crops, ETC.. and drowning large
number Of cattle, hogs and poultry. The
loss sustained by the unfortunate inhabi-
tants of the overfowed district can hardly be
estimated now, many losing their all and
being rendered destitute by the dire disaster.
On last Tuesday morning a meeting was
held at Pointe-a-l Ia Hache, and Messrs. P. A.
Gravollet and Fred Gravollet were appointed
by the meeting as q committee, to proceed to
New Orleans, and present petition to the
Levee Board, asking them to furnish the peo-
pie of Pointe.a. Ia Hache with 100, 900 feet of
umber to close the crevasse
We have been requested by the Messrs. Ora
vollet to say that donations of provisions, etc.,
for the overfowed sufferers will be thankfully
received, and all such contributions, if left at
the store of Joseph David, commission mer-
chant. No. 1877 Decatur street, will be for
warded to their destination. We feel assured
that this appeal from the citizens of Plaque
mines viii not pass UNDECIDED, and that our
merchants, whose generosity has become
proverbia!, will gladly do all in their power to
alleviate the suferings of the distressed peo-
pie of Pointe-a-la-H ache.

0IAIH OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department, :
New Orleaus, March ~, 1875.
Hon. E. D. Estilette, Speaker Of the House of
Representatives,:
SRI have this moment received your
communication Of even date regarding GER.
tain bills still, as you state, in the hands of
the Enrolling Committee of the Senate. In
your letter you say, 81 have called your at
ten'ion to this unaccountable delay, and, not
outstanding you assured me you would at
tend to the matter, there remain at this very
late day several important acts in the hands
of the committee"
At a late hour Of the day yesterday you did
call my attention to this matter, and imme-
diately sent for Mr.. Bschtel, the Secretary of
the Senate, and Mr.. Massicot, the chairman
OF the Enrolling Committee. The former 1
saw last night and to-day have seen both
convenience occssioned by the delay COM
planned of, and trust that if you will DELAY
your contemplated departure day, whatever
bills there may be yet unsubmitted to you will
be ready for your examination and signatuse.
This morning q committee of the Proo1ft$
Owners Association waited upon me and
called my attention to number of bills. al
of which but one, relating to certain consti-
tutional amendments, had already been en-
rolled and are in my hands for consideration.
Most OF these are acts regulating fees of sher-
ifs. clerks of courts. etc., and by express pro-
vision do not take effect until the LIST Of Janu.
ary, 1877. As soon as can do SO, in the null
tlplicity of business pressing upon me, will
act upon them.
From the best information I can obtain
from yourself and others, there are really but
one or two Senate bills winch you have not
already received, and, as have before said.
/ trust and believe these will be ready very
shortly. II there are any other bills still de-
