Another Survivor of the Huron-How He
Was saved.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Herold's Wash
ill-fated United States corvette Huron,
wrecked nearly year ago north Of Cape Hat
teras, has unexpectedly turned up His name
is VIM. Buder, and he was picked up the day
after the wreck, having drifted 60 miles out
to sea while clnging to sPar Buders t 81 story
He claims that he dashed himself to the spar
after he found himself in the water. A sea-
man named Jesse Roll, a Spaniard, also clung
to the spar, but soon let go and was lost.
Buder was picked up by the Norwegian bark
Ferto, bound to Christiana,, Norway, and
made the voyage In two months. He says he
didn't recover his strength during. the voyage,
but continued sick and exhausted. When he
got to Norway he made his way home, where
his mother took care of him and put him in
the hospital, where he lay six months. On
his recovery, he shipped on the same vessel,
the Ferto, for Baltimore, where he arrived
about the fourth of November. No doubt Is
entertained that he is what he represents him
self to be. Secretary Thompson is satisfied
that the man is q genuine survivor Of the

thus opening up magnificent country Oh the
alluylal bayous, and giving the road q heavy
and lucrative trade from the start. When the
gap between Alexandria and the Mississippi
river is completed, the iron will be laid from
Alexandria west. 1t was necessary to grade
nearly two hundred miles, In order to give the
company basis of credit. Having made ne
gotiations by which the road can be ironed
and equipped, it Is very desirable to put all
the track graded In running order The COM
tractor Is now laboring under disadvantages
on account of the distance from navigation,
and the cost OF transporting his supplies and
men by wagon.
The track will be laid from Alexandria to-
Bayou Goula, and in the event of failure TO
consum mate negotiations now pending for
place to Algiers opposite New Orleans the
company has the right to cross the river and
construct their road on the east bank to the
city. Major anBs states that inc rott viii viii
be running to this city in eighteen months
This Is certainly most cheering news, and II
well calculated to- hght aaps the gloom which
has Overspread the faces of our merchants
and real estate owners for some time past.
We hope to be able from time to time to report
progress on this great Southern railroad.
Yesterday afternoon Major James met g.
large number OF our citizens at the Cotton
Exchange, and after an interchange OF opinion
was had upon the Importance of connecting
Shreveport with the great commercial marts
OF the world, Major James stated in sub
stance what is given above, adding that loco
motives. rolling stock and iron had been
bought for cash, and would soon arrive, and
that the work OF construction was progress
ing very rapidly. He also stated that on the.
completion of the gap between Bayou Goula,
and Alexandria, which will occupy only a.
short time, a large force will begin work at
this end, while the other portion Of this force
will be engaged laying ties and iron between
Bayou Goula and Alexandria. Although
Major James has two years in which to com
plete his co9tract he is confident that the
entire work will be completed and through
trains running between New Orleans and
Shreveport within eighteen months.

played by the administration, He has been
in Louisiana all the summer and fall. The
yellow fever prevented anything like tho
rough political canvass, but from the day that
tickets were put in the field until after the
votes were counted Leonard never uttered
single word as to the unfairneSs Of the course
being pursued by the Democrats. Nothing
was heard from him about Sorganized op-
preston and wholesale murder" until he
arrived in Washington Tuesday, The Radi-
cal leaders brought him over to their purpose
by simply threatening to have him removed.
He was invited to come to Washington, and

Fulton ferry on i. ~ New York side of the
river. The fire made rapid progress, and in O.
few minutes after the first alarm almost
every building was in flames. Second and
third alarms were sent out, but it was not till
nearly two hours hard work that the firemen
succeeded in getting the fire under control
and preventing the flames from spreading to
the ferry and shipping in the immediate vi
cinity. The stands at the market were occu-
pied by aoout.tWenty different persons and
the building was owned by the Fulton Market
Fish Company. The building and stands
were almost entirely destroyed. The losses
are estimated at 900 on the building and
$150.OOO on the stands, partly covered by in
surance. The fire is thought to be incendiary
and the police are looking for the guilty par
ties.

The Radical press has much to say about
frauds In New York-stuffing ballots, etc.
New York never polls SO many votes as there
are voters in the city. But how is it with
Philadelphia ? The Radical editors do not
say much about that city, which is STEPPED in
political corruption. The registry in Phila-
delphia shows that there are 10000 more
voters in that city than in New York, and ac-
cording to the census New York has 100000
more population than Philadelphia It ap-
pears that the Democratic managers Of New
York have great deal to learn from the Re-
publican managers in Philadelphia in the way
of creating men in buckram: By frauds in
the Quaker City the Republicans usually
carry the State Of Pennsylvania.

surveys of the Great West-The Best
Made nf Conducting Them.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I7.-Congress at its last
ing the National Academy Of Sciences to ex-
anime and report upon the best and most
economical measure for conducting surveys
of our Western Territories, now carried on by
Profs Hayden and Powell under direction Of
the Interior Department., and by Lieut..
Wheeler under direction Of the War Depart
ment It is understood that the committee
of the National Academy of Sciences, TO
whom the matter was referred for investiga-
ton, have decided to recommend that the
surveys be turned over to the coast survey.
This, of course, has created considerable ex-
element and discussion here among the
friends of Wheeler, Hayden and Powell.
Should the academy accept such report it
will, no doubt, meet with bitter opposition
when it comes before Congress.

The voice of the people Of Louisiana on the
fifth instant pronounced in favor of q consti-
tutional convention by an overwhelming ma
iority such as surprised even its most zeal
Gus advocates. This shows that there has
been deep seated conviction throughout the
masses that this vile instrument OF oppres-
sion is at the bottom Of all our troubles. We
venture to say that at least tvo-thirds OF the
members elected to either house are directly
pledged in favor of Immediately calling a con.
stitutional conventional convention that will
deal with the question of our fundamental
laws; not by patchwork, but by wiping the
whole fabric out of existence from Alpha to
Omega, and to erect in its stead a system OF
laws designed to further the vital interests of
our State and general happiness OF its people.

THAT MISSING SKELETON.

The Remains of A. Il. stewart now LOca~

the Supposed Body Snatchers-The
Police RetIcent and Facts Unattain-

New YORK, Nov. 17-At o'clock this
morning information was received at police
headquarters in this city that the body OF A.
r. Stewart had been discovered at Weehawken,
N. j., and that Capt. Keath, OF the detective
force here, and Chief Donovan, of the Hobo
ken police, were ready to take formal possess
sion of it at moments notice. 1t Is under
stood that these two officials have had the
remains under surveillance for some days
past but they have so far refrained from any
overt steps for the purpose Of getting hold OF
the principals concerned in the robbery.
On Thursday morning Henry Whalen was
arrested on q charge, of complcity IN the
Manhattan Bank robbery. William Burke
was also arrested ostensibly for the same
offense Thursday afternoon. Both men were
charge Of completely in the Manhattan Bank
robbery. Since then they have been
charged with stealing the remains of a.
q. Stewart from st. Marks ChuLchyard.
Whalen gave the name Of Henry Vreeland,
residence Brooklyn, Is years old, born in the
United States. Burke said he lived IN this
.55y aged 20, and was born In the United
r5tates. Both gave their occupation as specu-
!atoors. By consent of counsel further exam
ination was deferred and the prisoners were
remanded till o'clock Monday afternoon. 1t
is asserted on good authority that the detec-
tives secured the right persons, and expect to
arrest four more men to-day. The police are
very reticent in regard to the case They de-
cline to give any information to the press,
saying it might defeat the ends of justice.
Judge Hilton called at the central office this
afternoon and had long interview with In
spector Murray. It is rumored this afternoon
that number OF arrests in the case have been
made, but nothing definite can be learned at
