Fatal. ACCIDENT ON THE RAILROAD
On Friday, 22d inst, while the train Of
the West Fcliciana Railroad cars was on
it's outward bound trip, and when at
q point between the plantation of Mrs.
Woods aud Mr.. Wiley Morgan, q colored
man by the name of John DAVIS, in at
tempting to step from ono car to another
lost his balance and fell between the cars,
two or more of which passed over his
body. He was picked up in a terribly
mutilated condition and survived but a
few moments after the accident. We
learn that Davis had been drinking free
", and was in state of intoxication
at the time, to which fact the accident
may he justly attributed. The deceased
resided on the plantation of Mr. Morgan
and was within fcw minutes travel OF
his homo when the tragic event occurred
that so suddenly brought his earthly ca
reer to a close.

The NHw FERRY Boat which has been
in progress Of construction at Bayou Sa-
m for some weeks past WAS successfully
launched upon the bosom Of the Missis-
ssippi OH Friday. 2sd instant, and has
proved, so far as her size and build arc
concerned, to be the very thing that her
projectors intended. Tho boat meas
urc> fifty.two feet in length, has four
teen feet beam with twenty-five feet
width Of floor, giving her room for
the accommodation Of all the people,
stock or wagons that arc likely to offer
for transportation at any one time.
Besides, sho is built Of heavy timber, put
together in tho stauncl.csc manner, all
scientifically joined and securely fast
ened. So far as the hull is concerned
she is complete SUCCESS. All that now
remains is to get tho machinery aboard
and arranged in working order, which will
be accomplished in q short time, when
she will so ont on her trial trip. The
boat was built by homo mechanics aud
the machinery comes from w. L. Cush-
ing Of New Orleans. We expect to be
along on that trial trip and will be able
| to say more when it is accomplished.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.

We have many of the country papers
ON our exchange list, ana venture the
assertion, that, generally speaking, the
papers published in the rural districts of
Louisiana will compare ftvorably with
those Of any State in the Union. 1t
would be invitliOus to call them by
names, but in many Of them We often
find editorials evinciuG a high order OF
genius and talent on the part of the edl-
tors; indeed, we frequently como across
articles that compare tavorably with tho
best we find in hny of the metropolitan
Journals + or the home circle, aud to OBJ
tam all parish news, the parish papers
are decidedly the best for oIr patronage:
A we'll conducted country paper gives all
the political and commercial news keeps
US thoroughly posted AZ to all that is
going on at home and abroad besides,
it furnishes reading matter for the fanii-
~.
Tho parish paper should be taken by
every inhabitant Of the parish where it il
printed.-Pointe Coupee Pelican.

THE DECISION.
New York HeraId.l


The decision Of the supreme
Court of Louisiana yesterday, in
me caso OF Anderson, the convicts
ed member Of, the Returning Board .
will bring Joy to several prominent
persons, especially to Secretary
Sherman. who protested 60 vehe-
mently against his conviction, and
to Gov. Nicholas. who was under
40 implied pledge to pardon him If
tile Supreme Court should affirm
the Judgment of the conrt below.
Since it was a foregone conclusion
that Anderson was to be ret free,
either by en- ex ,cutive pardon or a
judicial decision, nobody should be
sorry that his release came in the
latter form. Had the -upreme
Court sustained Ancerson's con
vic,ion the pardon which was to
have followed would have caused
n great public scandal. 1t would
have looked too much as if Gov.
Nioh"lis had bound himself by a
political bargain to interfere With
the administration If criminal JUS
tice. Anderson having been re-
leased by the regular course Of ju-
dicia; proceedings, not only Gov.
Nichols escapes an unpleasant d.
leuma. but the appearance is avoid.
ed the obstruction Of Justice in e
sta:c of federal d'ctat,on or pres-
sure. Since Anderson was to have
been set at large 10 any event we
are glad that it has been done by
regular judicial action and not by
au cxtortcd exercise IF the pardon
ing power in iuifi'ment Of an un'
<eemIy political bargain. The Leg
islature of Louisiana, which have
been assembled in extra session
merely to give effect to possible
PARDON, Immediately adjourned
yesterday on The announcement OF
the decision of The Supreme Court.
1t may he safely assumed that this
ends all the Returning Board pros
ecu,ions. J. Madison Wells will
r.:joce even more heartily Than Gov.
Nichols and secretary sherman:
The country is t" beco"gratula'ed
that 1t is to hear no mo OF Inc
eve, lasting Louisiana muddIe.

IF thore's hole in your coat, rede
so tent it,
A chiefs amang ye taking notes, an
faith he'll print it."
A reporter when in search of tho stray
items that 60 to mako up tho column of
interesting locals that alone assusge tho
appetite of tho inportunate reader, often
comes possessed Of informstion,-nolens,
rolens,-upon topics and regarding mat
terra into which he is not particularly dis
posed to Dry. In other words, like some
greatncss, he has information "thrust upon
him." 90 that his ears must be false to
their Office if he does not hear, or his
eyes purposely closed if he does not OBJ
serve what is pertinaciously presented
before them.
Under the lattei head may be classed
that incident, which, occurring in Grace
Church on the occasion of Bishop Will
mcr's recent visit, led this Reporter into
the following short train of thought and
into the following condensed conclusions,
to-wit:
-" AoA yOA ooo - pOAoOA Va OAo uChouA-
ination of christians, behaving indecor-
ously or ridlculing tho exercises in the
house of worship of another denomina-
ton, you may feel pretty we'll satisfied
that that person has little or no respect
for his (or ller) own religion"
This Reporter loves music, particularly
good music, and still more particularly
if the good music is in church. Now it's
almost impossible (if VIC arc not in crror)
to have good music without both melody
and harmony that is it's pretty gencr-
ally conceded that these qualities are es-
sential. This little village can boast of
too choirs, both of which, 10 far AZ this
humble critic is capable Of judging, have
the melody qualifications to q sufficient
degree, but, if reports are to lie believed,
there is . woeful lack in the harmonious
ness of each. Refections,-there are Ger
tain qualities necessary. without which
no one can he good choirist,-we don't
allude to musical Northumberland
which some people don't posses.
Our next sermon may be taken FROM
the text "Christians support your pas
tors"-better than you do.
