The steamer Laura NJ. Starn. OF the Manhattan
Beach line. running from New York TO Bay Ridge,
was run into and badly damaged by barge elevator
at Leroy street wharf yesterday morning. The
Starin had started her ten O'Clock trip, hav-
ing about hundred and ffty passengers
on board, and as she was approaching tho
Leroy street dock the elevator steamed out of
the slip, colliding with and crashing into her side,
tearing away portion of her wheelhouse and closets
and damaging her to the amount of about $3.50.
The passengers panic stricken the timo, but
were soon queted by the officers OF the beat and
landed safely at Leroy street. after which the steamer
was taken to the slip at pier North River. being
compelled to retire from her usual run.

THE Indianapolis .SentiRe

lHE 1uuiSudpOllS sentinel says IHhG
The South has never been so pros
porous as within the last five years.
The increaae in the cotton, rice, sugar
and tobacco crops has been perfectly
wonderful. 1t is worthy of note that
this magnificent result was not reached
with the Radical csrpet-bag govern
ments forced the South, under the man
ipulations and rascalities of Republic
cans. 1t came after the Democratic
party had routed Republlcanism and
driven 1t disgracefully from every
Southern State. With such a record
as Republicanism made south of Ma
sons and Dixon's line, is it possible
that solitary State anywhere in this
broad land wants any more of it?
The changes wrought in Southern So
cial and industrial habits, during the
last five years, have been wonderful.
Young men and ex-soldIers who, dur
ing the sway of csrpet-bsggers daw-
died about villages, railway stations
and county court houses, have dissp-
peared, and the effect is seen in multi
piled hocks and herds of cattle and
horses, and in the augmented number
of cotton bales that 60 abroad from
the South. But gregarious habits and
incident idleness grow stronger with
the coloreG race. Their numbers grow
in towns and villages and are lessened
in the hills and valleys. They are
fewest where farms are smallest,
and most numerous in the low
lands and on the great plantations.
Mr.. Atkinson, the statistician of the
New York Herald, shoots wide of the
mark when he ascribes the enormous
produotiveness of the South to grow
ing negro industry. This has been
very materially lessened, as those liv-
ing in towns and Villages of the South
must know, while the volume of white
labor, within five years past, has been
growing in force as never before. The
race of white idlers became rapidly ex-
tin:t when local governments lapsed
into the hands of those capable of
tasks involved in their administration
and of those havinglcommon interests
with the governed.

The Dallas Herald. Commercial olive

The Dallas Herald Commercial give
brief sketch of the life of Judge NJ.
D. Ector, and says that he came from
Georgia to Texas about 1849 or 1850,
and settled as lawyer in Henderson,
ltusk county. He was Democrat of
the strictest stock, but so pure and
magnanimous in heart that in times of
the most intense political excitement
he enjoyed the warmest personal friend
ship for his political opponents. He
was a member of the able and memora-
BILE Legislature of 1865 SO, and won
golden opinions by his lofty integrity
IN the memorable issues of that body.
He entered the Confederate army in
1861, az sdjutant of the Third Texas
(Greer's) Cavalry, organized at the fair
grounds IN Dallas. At Oak Hills, in
August, 1861, at Chustenellah, in the
winter following, and at Elk Horn,
in March, 1862, he won the admi-
ration of his comrades. East of
the river he was rapidly promo
ted for heroic gallantrY, first as colonel
of his regiment and next as brigaGier
general. At the battle of Chicka-
manga he lost leg in leading a
charge deemed desperate, and that day
the fame of Ector's brigade became in
Confederate annals scarcely second to
Hoods Texas brigade in Virginia. The
war over, poor in purse, anxious for
an honorable reconstruction, he settled
in Marshall, and resumed his profess
sion as a lawyer. On the induction of
Governor Coke into office in January,
1884, he was appointed judge of that
district, and as such cemented the
confidence he already held in the esti-
nation of the good people of the
Of the judges of the Court of Appeals,
on which bench he has labOred for
three years, and, as announced above,
died with the harness on. He had
long been a sincere Christian, mem
Der of the Presbyterian Church, but
cooperating with all religious bodies
in whatever promised good to the ris-
ing generation, regardless of creed,
color or nationality. Honored be the
memory of all such men.
With infinite and praiseworthy gen.
erosity the people have provided
large fund for the maintenance of Gen.
Hoods orphans, whose maternal rela-
tives are rich. Should not like action
be taken in behalf of Ector's. He was
pre-eminently generous, and poor, very
poor. He has very modest little
home in Marshall and leaves widow
and several children. Perhaps Ector's
brigade will provide as generously for
Ector's as Hoods soldiers and the peo-
pie have done for Hoods orphans.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1879-11-06

A number of Russian Nihilists, see
ing that their views are not practicable
for the present, and only bring upon
those who hold them useless martyr
dom, have declared themselves, in
proclamation addressed to the peo-
pie, as simply Republicans. This dec
laration has been very badly received
by the real Nihilists. Those residing
at Geneva have already published Ga
solemn proclamation" matchmaking
''the contemplate so-called Republic
cans." At the head of the signatures
is Vera Sassulitch. The seceders are
reproached with ''unbounded coward
ice," and it is said further that "these
monsters" have meyer accomplished
anything important. They have never
been able TO break with present society,
and still they like to Drag of the deeds
of Others. They have never even per-
petrated q political murder. After
enumerating all the murders accom-
plisted by the genuine Nihiiists, the
proclamation continues: "All this we
have accomplished; all this Is the work
only of our hands, but not of those
towards and liars who pretend to be-
long to u.s." Finally, the seceders are
desi gnated as ''traitors, who must expi-
ate their treason by death"
