WAsHrHdroH, Feb. ia letter I'D.
dressed BY the President 10 Attorney
General Deyens In relation to the conyic-
tion OF General Anderson, and read
to that officer Yesterday, was not intended
for immediate publication. The fact that
the President had written such letter

whom the President in conyersation com.
municated:the information. Although the
full text OF the letter can not be obtained
at this time 1t Is safe 10 say 1t
Is comparatively brief and is some
what in the spirit Of telegram
addressed to Anderson on the fourth inst.
by Secretary Sherman, Senator Matthews
aud Representives Garfield, Hale and
White. The President Is Of the opinion
that the prosecution against Anderson Is
solely political; that 1t Is not couutenanced
by the best men Of Louisiana, and there
fore Is contrary to their calm judgment;
that the proceedings were In the interest
Of those who strive 10 antagonize the
two parties in that State, rather than 10

ing the appreciation Of the country, the act
will be condemned by all right thinking
and patriotic men everywhere when they

the President submits the subject to the
Attorney General for his consideration.

A Family Murdered.


Vincennes, Oct. 24.--John d. Vace-
let, wife and two sons were murdered
last night about two miles south of
this city. Pierre Provost. who lived
with them as farm hand, gave the
alarm to the nearest neighbor, about
half mile away, at O'Clock this
morning, having come to them in his
night clothes, and saying to them in
broken English: "They had hell of
time over at Vacelet's." On going to
the house the neighbors found the two
sons, aged IA and IL years, respectively,
in bed, the father lying in the doorway
to an adjoining room, and in the next
room the mother in her bed; all dead
and cold. The deed had evidently
been done with an axe, the heads and
throats of the victims being gashed and
cut by such weapon. Two or three
bloody axes were found. Provost is
under arrest, and can give no satisfac-
tory account of the affair. He claims
to have also been attacked by the muir
derers and escaped, but this is already
proven untrue. Circumstances to-
night are against him. The threats of
lynching do not SEEMINGLY disturb him,
and he preserves composure. The
inquest was adjourned until tomorrow.

yesterday in Berlin, in lieu Of the So

of the steamer Express, which left here
on Tuesday for Washington, reports
that.his vessel foundered in gale in
the mouth Of the Potomac and the pas
sengers and crew are probably lost.
The captain was rescued while drifting
with fragments Of a boat. In describ-
ing the wreck of the Express he says
the. sea was running at great height,
every wave washing the boat from stem
to stern. Shortly after five O'Clock on
Wednesday morning there came ter
rifle splash and the joiner work parted
from the stanchion. All on board had
secured life preservers at the earliest
period of the gale. Some of the Off
GERS tried to. secure boats, but they were
washeds away and broken up. A mo-
ment after the upper deck had been
carried away tine hull rolled over and
sunk bottom upward. Those of the
passengers and crew that could reach
portions of the wreck, clung to them
as long as possible, but the sea washed
them off again, and at the breaking Of
dawn only about eight persons could be
seen.
The Express had crew of twenty

STORM sPLlNrERs.

Summing Up the Damage Fearful
Loss of Life.
Philadelphia: By yesterdays storm
in this city 3S4 dwellings and stores
were unroofed and otherwise injured,
and several completely demolished. Be-
sides there were badly injured IS facto-
ries and warehouses, 81 churches. %
schools, s hotels, 2 elevators and so
other large buildings, such as depots,
ferry houses, mills and railroad offices.
The total accidents were 6, and serious
ly injured 13. In the southern part of
the city, known as the "Necko the
Delaware river overfowed its banks for
one mile from its usual course, and the
inhabitants were taken from second
story windows of houses in boats sent
out from the navy yard. Only one man
was drowned in this section, but the
loss to live stock is very great Eleven
bridges were swept away. A well
known landmark, the large ship house,
was leyeled to the ground. It is impos-
sible to estimate the loss in money, as
it is distributed in various amounts be-
tween various owners. but the general
estimate is two million dollars the fol-
lowing being among the heaviest
losers:

to fifty thousand dollars; Pennsylvania
