LOUISIANA.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 30.-In replying
to W. +. Chandler recent telegram to
him, Burke says he first wished to know
if this is the Chandler who as assistant
secretary of the treasury travelling through
the south in 1868. corruptlY participated
in the spell gathered by supervising
treasury agents engaged in robbing their
government and in deiraudIng the dis
tressed people of this and adjacent states;
who as sec'y of the republican national
committee with certain republicans from
Louisiana at conference or conferences at
the 5th Avenue hotel, New York, concern
ing Louisiana affairs, about October, 1872,
secretly aud cOrruptly conspired to take
advantage of the absence from Louisiana
of governor thereof, to assemble secretly
the legislature, impeach the governor, seize
the government, and use its
machinery to carry the election
of 1872: who earned aud received fee
from Kellogg Of three thousand dollars iu
1878, and the announcement that you had
done more for him than any one except
Atty. Genl. Williams 10 maintaining afoul
and Infamous usurpation of Office of gov
ernor of this State; is the Chandler who
encouraged abeted and conspired with his
| infamous allies in this city to
rob $4,000 citizens of New Orleans
of the franchise, and drag them before
| federal courts on or about the day of the
late election; who in November 1876 BY
telegraph guaranteed Kellogg that the
whole power of the government would
sustain the returning board ip counting
the vote of Louisiana for the republican
candidates, and then haste0ed to Florida
to manipulate the frauds of thai
state: is it the Chandler who
has of late been vainly seeking tt
stir up the hell broth of sectional hate ant
foul his political nest to the disgust O
decent citizens north and south; if yea
permit me to say that the inquisitoria
powers of political tramps terminated il
March last; such persons are subjects 0
Iinquisitions, if nay. the impertinent tele

Four Serious Runaways.

When s. Schmidt, of AndaIusia, was on
his way home last evening, and while near
the distillcry, his team became frightened
at flying paper and went at a hreakneck
run across the CLANCY Lane bridge, and
before proceeding to the end of the lane
the horses went over the high embank.
ment, killing one horse and breaking the
leg of the other,
Joshua Griffin delivered a load of
straw at the paper mill this forenoon and
when going to the Office for his ticket the
whistle sounded for noon and his team
started on a run across the two bridges
towards Milan and on the way narrowly
escaped running over Dobbin Carnaghan,
bridge tender, who was sweeping straw
from the new bridge; the team came to a
halt by straddling the lamp post on the
Milan shore. The wagon and harness
were badly demoraized. Mr.. Griffin paid
all damages.
Mr.. Samuel Ramsay, of Rural, when on
his way home and when near VIM. Coyres,
his team. for some accountable reason, took
fright and ran away, and before they could
be stopped ran into stump, breaking one
wheel and damaging the harness.
Nels Wilson was the fourth unfortunate; !;
his team too INDUCED in run; a team ran
into his wagon, on the Milan road, near
the cemetery road. frightening his team,
which started for home at a lively pace,
but before crossing the bridge came in
contact with a post, breaking the tongue
and iDjuriDg the wagon bed. Strange to
say, there was no one injured in any of
these runaways.

A st. Petersburg correspondent sends
the following: There is no longer any doubt
that there has been what is called little
misunderstanding between st. Petersburg
and Vienna. Austria, it seems, expected
that the conditions of peace would be sub
mitted to European Congress or at least
communicated for approval to the mem
bers of the triple alliance. Her suspicious
were aroused by Russia extreme reserve.
When the misunderstanding occurred the
Russian Am mbassador at Vienna, who was
on furlough, was ordered to return to his
post, and took explanations and assurances
by which it was hoped that the little mis-
understanding would be completely re
moved. How far his efforts were success
full has not yet transpired, but there is rea-
son to believe that they had not the instan.
taneous effect which was anticipated.
A Vienna dispatch says: Austria's refu
sal to. o.annex Bosnia and Herzegovina, is
