A Whole Family Poisoned i.

From the Baltimore Gazette Of Tuesday we
learn that a very mysterious case of poisoning
occurred in the western section of that city
Monday evening creating much excitement.
About six o'clock Mr.. Andrew Debertin, resd-
ing at 239 Hollius street, sent his little child
on an errand to the bakery of Louis Schupp
No. 236 on the same street. She soon return
ed much alarmed, and informed her parents
that there was no light in the bakery, and that
the baker and his family were all lying on the
floor. Mr.. Debertin hurried TO the place. and
found Mr. Schupp, aged forty-three bis wife,
aged forty, and his two daughters, Caroline
sixteen, and Maggie, thirteen, extended upon
the dining-room floor in an unconscious state
Foam and blood were issning from their
mouths and nostrils. Summoniug assistance
he carried them into The open air and imme-
diately sent for medical aid. Through the
exertions of physicians the mother so far re-
covered ms to be able TO sit up and relate what
she could of The mysterious occurrence. Her
story is that about O'Clock a cat belonging
TO the family was seized with a fit. Her
daughters screamed and were very much
frightened, and one o: them fell TO the floor
in violent spasm. The other followed and
the father was almost simultaneously attacked.
Before she could render them any assistance
she felt fainness and difficulty of breathing
coming over her. and she knew no more until
awakened from the Swoon a couple of hours
later. The family partook of their usual meal
about noon, consisting simply of soup. They
were engaged baking cakes in the afternoon,
the oven being situated in the basement of the
house. The physicians in attendance ascribe
the attack to some poisonous gas emanating
from the fuel used in heating The ovens or to
a congestion caused by malaria arising from
some noxions substance in the yard The
father and mother are pronounced out of dam
ger; the daughters Maggie and Caroline have
since died.

Boss Tweed's Return.

Rerihutiye justice often assumes strange
shapes, especially in its dealings with the
thieves who steal public money. For years
they continue perpetrating their crimes, not
only with immunity, but with increasing
power and new honors. Their petty pilfering
in small office serves 10 pay the campaign
expenses which carry them into positions
where grand larceny is possible, and noisy
crowd of purchased followers laugh to seorn
the complaints of sober minded citizens But
thief is thief even if the money he steals
belongs to many citizens instead of u single
individual, aud punishment comes in varied
forms. Rash ambition, riotous living aud
vulgar vices consume a large share Of the
plumber Of many public robbers But for
Tweed, rs the bead of his class, palpable pun
ishmenis have been reserved, as if for the pur-
pose of demonstrating that it is possible, even
in the United States, and in its most corrupt
city, to infiict public condemnation at the bar
Of justice upon official knarery gilded with
the charm of powerful political influence The
Boss returns to fnd himself confronted not
only with judgments for immense sums, but
with long list Of new criminal indictments,
so that be has fair prospect for spending the
remainder Of his life in prison. His success MS
a thief excited the envy of other custodians Of
power who should now he warned by his i'm
pending fate.

The Fate of louisiana.

correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writ
ing from New Orleans, in an article that paper
among other things says:
People at the North are very prone TO talk
ing OF the restless turbulent character of the
people of Louisiana, but have never read OF
any people, from the children of Israel down,
who were so patient and so forbearing under
such provocation, more particularly at this
very juncture, when they see before them, for
the thiId time, the prospect of being deliber-
atey cheated and defrauded of that which is
rightfuly theirs; when they see before them
four more years of business prostration-tour

| THE presidential political fight after such n
| great amount Of skirmshing has narrowed
down 70 the grIiness of the Democratic Con-
gress. All the wiseacres of both parties may
publish their opinions of the proper mode Of
settling this complicated matter, TO find the
futility Of them by the disregard with which
! they meet. Congress is the sole power-ac-
cording to precedent made by the Constitution
TO make The PRECEDENT in case the people SO
fail 10 do. If there be a disagreement of the
! two branches, then the Democratic House of
Representatives will surely give US President
If then comes the war-so much talked Of
caused by the counting in" of a Democratic
President, it will be provoked by the intsrfer-
ence of Grant Knowing full well the i'll condi-
ton ofthe country TO sta nd the effects Of war !;
knowing full well the sorrow and remorse
that it would plant in the bosom of many II
household, ii freezes the blood to barely con-
template the dreaded horror. But if war tho
administration wants, war let it have. Let
the Democratic representatives raise their
voices and suffer aught else but death in at
tempis TO maintain the honest rights and
liberties of the people. In war the advocates
of the administration combined with the
cowardly negro would only be before the
honest people of this country what the hotson
would be before the rapids; rivulets wculd be
coursed by their blood, which by the succeed
ing generation would be observed unnamed
The question of the election of a Speaker
by the next House of Representatives to pre-
side over that body, which convenes on Mon
day, is looming up. AT the time of the ad-
journment of the last Congress Mr.. Sayler, of
Ohio, filled the chair of the deceased Speaker
Kerr, and will undoubtedly be an aspirant
for the position at this session. Mr.. Cox is
also looking after the election, but tbs more
than likely he will he disappointed. Mr..
Hewitt, who in the late compaign showed his
worth to party and country in his endeavor
10 wrest from the present corrupt Administra-
ton the governmental power, is an applicant
for the position. He should not ask 10 be
allowed to fill the chair, as something higher
awaits him. Mr.. Randall, of Pennsy lvania,
deserves the election TO the position above
every other Democrat in the House, for many
important reasons. He will certainly get it.
RETURNING BOARDS in States like Louisiana
and Florida are but another name for turning
boards. The people have written Tilden and
Hendricks upon one side and Wells, Kellogg
Il Co. are trying to write Hayes and Wheeler
on the other. 81 think Hayes is elected, be-
cause we have got the three returning boards"
said Butler; and Bobb Ingersoll adds al
don't know anything about the election, nor
much about the Louisiana returning board,
but | think the board won't help the Demo-
cratic ticket TO any great extent"

| A TERRIBLE NIGHT.-A despatch from

about 3 o clock, Mr.. A. Rambo was aroused
By cries of distress coming from the river, the
voice being that OF woman. He at once
unfastened a skiif and rowed out in the direc-
lion Of the sounds. He soon came in sight OF

form Of II woman clnging to them. She
called 10 him 'f0r Gods sake 10 be quick, 4"

pulled alongside the foater and discovered
further that she was holding to one of the
skiifs with one hand and with the other clutch
ing firmly the hair of mans head, which
she was with heroic nerve trying to keep
above the waves. After much difficulty the
inaniuate form OF the man was taken into
