UnoSVeople of this nation in justification
of bitter and scandalous assaults upon his
memory rs Union statesman, the milk of
paci6cation curdles under the bitter animos-
tiles that now rankle in the hearts of those
who are only playing the hypocrite when
they pretend to respect for the Union and
Constitution which they failed to destroy by
an appeal TO arms. This hypocrisy is daily
exposed in the tone and temper of the
South by their assaults upon the noble men
who stood firmly by the cause Of the Union
during the war, and who have since de-
manded that the terms of the peace that en-
sued shall be observed by those who yielded
to it ostensibly in good faith.
We can say to the Chronicle, or any other
journal or citizen of the South, that the
people of the North have no desire for any
other than relations of amity with those of
the South; but they will not remain silent
when every important principle that hinges
upon this peace is violated by the action of
the Southern people. All that is required
is that the terms of the settlement of our
past difficulties shall be observed. The
rights of every citizen in the South, ire
spective of birth, color, or distinction
in life, must be respected, to close the
mouth of criticism and protest at
the North When that end is reached,
there will be no sectional lines, no cause Of
difference or uniriendliness of feeling. But
every infraction of the principles of right
and justice on the part of the South will be
met with such terms and in such spirit rs
the ofense demands. If we are TO live to-
getler in q national brotherhood, it is well
that we should mutually accommodate our
selves in all sections of the country to the
terms and requirements of the adjustment
of our unpleasantness at the close Of the
war.

at the instance Of some mischicf-makcr or

something wrong or pretcnds to have good
grounds for such suspicion. These pretended
suspicious are often filed by officials for the
purpose of impressing the minds Of their su-
pcriors with their great vigilance, in the hope
that promotion may grow out of 1t, or that
they may be sent off OH trip to investigate
the matter. A communication now before us
says The action of the Pension Office In
Withholding on frivolous prctoxts the pensions
of hundreds poor helpless men who are de-
pendent for their daily bread on their little al
lowancc is most reprehcnsible." The writer
intimatcs that these suspensions are made at
the instigation of selfish parties, for their own
benefit, and concludes that at is to be hoped
that the Government will not for the sake of
giving employment to clerks, starvc the poor
soldiers" Officials who will wantonly inflict
the anxiety, expense, sorrow, and privation in

PROVIDENCE in its mercy hath seen ct to
scourge the people of India with famine.
From time to time the press of this country
has given full accounts of the sufferings Of
these people with this terrible infection. ltis
now fortunately drawing to a close. Rains
have fallen abundantly in many of the famine
stricken districts. British India, where most
of the famine districts exist, has large rivers,
and the amount of water which annually runs
away and is lost in the bays OF the Indian
Ocean is sufficient to Insure good crop in all
those thirsty and famine-strickon districts
could it he conducted to and distributed over
them. If the British government turns its
attention to artificial irrigation, It will
doubtless find it a cheaper method of feeding
the people of India than to raise money at
home for the purchase of food. In the mean
time heaven should be thanked that starvation
hath ceased in that unhappy country.

WHAT Is there In the nature of the scientists
that make them, as q rule, so cold to all that
portion of the human race outside of their
own charmed and enlightened circler 1t does
seem as If they took delight in giving infor-
nation that ever sends cold thrill through
the less enlightened. The Astronomer
Royal of the Royal Observatory Of Scotland
has gone and mapped out very cold winter
for Great Britain, and presumably for this
country. II is asserted that he (thc A. R)
has studied waves of heat and cold for a
period of over thirty.nine years, and finds
that the next cold wave is due at tho end Of
the present year, when very frigid weather
may be looked for. Our experience has been
that frigid weather generally comes along
about the time Indicated; but then this wave
that is spoken Of and all that sort of thing,
may be something now. In some shuddcring
remarks on this subject the Boston Post asserts
that the average Granger will put more faith
in tho mliskrat than in the combined astrono.

RESERVOIR DISASTER.

BREAKING OF DAM IN CONNECTICUT
BUILDINGS AND BRIDGES SWEPT AWAY
DAMAGE TO FAcToRIEs-Loss ABOUT
s1,0O0,oO0.
HARTFORD, Conn, March, 27.-The
Staffordville reservoir dam at Stafford, in
this State, gave way this morning, about
six o'clock, sweeping everything along
the valley from Staffordville through Old
Furnance to Stafford Springs.
Probably no less than thirty houses
were destroyed, and the loss will be very
large. The dam was considered safe, but
the heavy rains of Monday afternoon and
evening filled the reservoir to overflow
ing. The reservoir being set some dis
tance above the village the alarm rea ;hed
the people in time for them to effect their
safety.
The losses by the disaster are estimated
at from 5000, 600 to $1000.000. One per-
son, Richard Speeding, a wellkn0wn
citizen of Stafford Springs, is thought to
have been drowned. The dam broke at
about six o'clock this morning, after
workmen had been engaged all night try
< ing to prevent the disaster. The two
mills nearest the dam are not injured.
Tho machine shop ofSamuel Amidon and
| twesA sA&sses were destroyed. The mill of
| the Phoenix Manufacturing Company, at
| Hydeyille, was not materially damaged.
The dam at Stafford Hollow, an iron
bridge, one tenement house and a grist
1 mill were washed away, and the road
way out out for thirty-tive feet. The
dam at Glenville went but the mill stood
| firm.
At Stafford Springs tne dam was car.
ried off, and the Granite Mill Company's
dam was also carried way. Eight tene-
ment houses belonging to this mill were
swept away. together with l.. W. Cranes
store, the Home Mutual Fire Insurance
Company building and Congregational
Church in succession. The Granite
Mills were damaged by being under
Bank, Gerry's stables, the block of BAKER
& Head, the storehouse and granary of
G. o. Cleveland, the warehouses of W.
| Smith, & Co., Shoddy & Frock, dealers
in lumber, the coal yard of q, j. Holmes,
and the borough hall and engine house
were all swept away. Among the losses
Stafford, $50, 900, ten dams about Ss5, 900,
Smith & Co., $4,000 to $4,000, G. o.
Cleveland $4,000, Thompson & Whiten
SIC, 900, L. w. Crane $4,000, Congrega-
tional Church $25 900. Most Of the
others lose from $4,000 down. The
whole region is devastated. The damage
below Staffords Springs, If any, is not
included in the estimate of this dispatch.
The Hartford 'Courant's account of the
disaster says that the people, who had
gathered in large numbers, acted like
crazy persons, and in some cases had to
be carried to places of safety. The latest
estimate puts the actual present loss at
| $3.50, 900.
The accident is terrible blow to the
industries of the valley. About 1000
hands are thrown out ofwork, and busi-
ness is badly crippled.

BOUND OVER For CoURr.-This
morning before Mayor Whiteley, County
Constable Dillon, was arraigned on
the charge Of assaulting Mrs. Margaret
McC Cormick, ,onM MondayIast, and areport OF
the circumstances were fully reported in
yesterdays GAZETTE. In the testimo ny
received it appears that Dillon having a
writ Of ejectment went out to the house
and without showing Mrs. Mccormick
the writ or telling her = who he was,
took hold of her, and forcibly dragged her
out Of the house, telling her that she
must 60 along with him. She refused to
60 along or to leave the house not know
ing who the officer was, and when he
pulled her out Of the house, her arm was
cut very badly by being pushed through
the glass in the door.
The Mayor stated that he would not set
tie the case as he could only impose a fine
of $40 and that was not enough, that Mrs
cCormick had right to the house that
day, and the officer had no right to GO
there and not inform her who he was, and
furthermore the justice had no right tc
issue such a writ. He would therefore
require Mr.. Dillon to give bail in the sun
of 5000 to answer the charge at court.
