patch to the Dispatch from Mob.
erty, Mo, says an armed mob Of
about 100 men, from adjourning conn-
ties, came into town this forenoon and
opened fire on .. c. Corlew, whom
Sheriff Mattock was taking into the
courthouse to be.tried for committing
rape on the person of Mrs. Crugh in q
hotel in this city last March.
Corlew ran into the courtroom, fol
lowed by three of the mod, where he
WAS shot again. He then escaped to
the street and fell, but quickly regain
ed his feet, he received another shot.
He then ran through a dry goods
store, closely followed by his assailants;
then ont into the street, finally max
ing his way into room over a saloon.
Here his pursners 'cornered him, and
the husband of the outraged woman
ended the pursuit by firing five more
shots into Corlew's body and one into
his forehead. fCorlew died in ten min
ntes. Intense excitement prevailed
whilesthese proceedings were in pro-
gress, and the officers of the law made
no effort to stay them.

Hon. VIM. III. English, Democratic
candidate for vice president, annoneed
his sentiments years ago onthc money
and labor questions as follows:
81 am for honesty in money rs in
politics and morals, and think the
great material and business interests of
the country should be placed upon the
most solid basis and as far as possible
from the blighting influence of dem
sagogues. AT the same time 4 am ep-
posed TO a class legislation and in ia
vor Of protecting and fostering the in
terests of the laboring and producing
classes in ever Legitimate way posi-
BILE. A pure, economical, constitu-
tional government, that will protect the
liberty Of the people and the properly
of the people, without destroying the
rights of the States or aggrandizing its
own power beyond the limits of the
Constitution, is the kind of govern
ment contemplated by the fathers,
and by that i think the Democracy
proposeto stand"

tv miles down the tCalcasiou river, tic
what is known as the Vincent Settle
ment; where we tarried several days
among a very kind and hospitable peo
pie. We wcrc sgreeably surprised al
the appearance Of the country, and in
telligence of the citizens. We found
both much better than we anticipated
We spent Sabbath there and attended
church and Sunday School. They
have avery good sized school house,
which serves them also as a church OF
Sunday, in which was convened very
large and attentive audience of men,
women and children, eager to listen to
the preaching of the gospel-@an exam
pie which Lake Charles and vicinity
would do well to initiate, and manifest
more interest in Sabbath and sanctuary
privileges. In the evening at two
o'clock the Sabbath school convened
at the same place, and the same deco
rum and interest prevailed as was mani
tested at the morning exercises, and
considering that this is their first effort
in the way of Sunday School, they did
remarkably well, and by the adoption
of a few improvements which were
suggested, it will be made very profita-
Bile and interesting toithe many chill
dren growing up there. They have a
public school during a part of the year,
and private during the remaining part
The spirit of improvement seemsto be
very prominent in the minds of all, and
a desire to build up and benefit society
by means of good schools and churches
is leading feature among the princi-
pie citizens. Three miles below here,
near Johnson's bayou, they have lately
built new school house in which is a
very good private school. This is a
good tockscountry and the main bust
ness isstock raising; but nearly all have
small farms under cultivation, where
they raise corn, cotton, rice, sugar
cane, and vegetables of all kinds. The
crops arc all looking very fine and
promise a good yield. TAcrrus.

Tscientihc Americana

The terrible visitation experienced
in 1878, by yellow fever, by the cities
along the lower Mississippi, indicated,
clearly to the United States Medical
Department the great need of a more
perfect system of quarantine regulation,
inspection, and disinfection. Also, the
want of swift, properly appointed craft
to relieve passing vessels Of sick per
sons and convey such tothe quarantine
stations along the river To meet the
peculiar requirements of the case a feet
Of four steamers has been designed by
DIR. j. Il. Turner, Secretary of the Ma
tional Board of Health, and these have
just been completed at Pittsburg, leav-
ing that city, June 23, for duty on the
Mississippi between Cairo and New
Orleans. The feet comprises the hos
pital and supply steamer II. Ii. Benner,
and the steel launches Sentinel, Look
ont, and Picket. The Benner is a stern
wheel iron hull steamer of the Western
high-pressurc type, ll2 feet long, Is
feet beam, feet hold. 0ntbe main
or boiler deck she carries an iron dis
injecting tank for the reception and
steaming of bedding, etc., supposed to
contain the germs Of fever. This tank
is 6 ks feet, of boileriron. Theupper
deck is fitted mp with bath room, ply
sician's quarters, and medicine chests.
The main cabin is clear, well ventila-
ted space Ia x so feet, fitted with thirty
iron cots for the reception ofthe sick.
The launches are of handsome model
and are SO feet long by 2 beam, and
81 hold. Engine vertical, driving pro-
peller of SO inch diameter and 6 feet
pitch, making $50 revolutions per min
ute with steam at 100 lbs. Each
launch carries q small cannon for calling
passing and suspected steamers TO d
prompt halt. Their swiftpess will ena-
lblettLem to hurry the unfortunate sick
to the nearest quarantine station, and
a physician will be on board each
launch. The Benner will be in charge
of iDr. II. w. Reilly, of Chicago, and
the crew will be selected from men who
have rum the dread gauntlet Of ssYellow
Jack" The cost Of this laudsble en-
sterpflse to the government will be
about $4,000. The quarantine sta
tions already provided for are located
at Cairo, Yicksbarg, Memphis and
New Orleans, and also at the mouth of
the Red River.

(From our Regular Correspondent
WAsHNoroN, d. c., July 81, 1850.
The Democratic Congressional Cam
paiRn Committee has established itself
ON + street, near the Treasury Depart
ment, and the Republican Headquarters
are ON the same street two squares fur
ther east. OF course the Republican
Camp is the much better equipped, and
| I learn from reliable authority that the
amount of money .contributed by, or
extorted from, their thousands of office
holders is unprecedentedly large. 1t
may be assumed, however, that the av-
erage office holder was never before so
willing as now to contribute to the fund
which he hopes will be potent to keep
| him in his sinecure for four more years.
Your correspondent was IN Washington
when il was known, four years ago,
that Tilden was elected. The dismay
and agony of office holders was pathetic
and might have excited pity had 1t been
possible to forget the means by which
they got their places, aud the ends for
which they held them. They bright
ened up when they knew that Garfield,
Sherman, Eliza Pinkston, Madison
Wells, and Joseph Bradley were using
their rare and peculiar talents to defeat
the will Of the people. Since the in
fanny proved successful on the 4th of
March, these office holders have held
their places, and drawn their pay, with
o sense of shame and loss of self re-
spect that every person, instinctively
honest, mustieel while eating the bread
of theft and fraud. But the experience
of those doubtful, dismal days between
the election Of Tilden and the usurpa-
ton of Hayes will never be forgotten
by them. They realized, for the first
time,s that the democracy had a mag
nifcent electoral and popular maioritysI
in the United States. 1t is a knowledge
of this majority and the recollection of
their peril four years ago that has made
them more willing, than at any previous
time, to contribute their substance,
their labor, and their votes for the DE

Rice Culture.

The cultivation of rice is destined m
the near future to become the leading
branch of business in this section aof
the country. There are thousands OF
acres of the best kind of rice lands in
this parish, which Gamble bought at
from rs cents TO 81 .25 per acre, which,
with very little expense in preparation,
can be made to yield an enormous
profit. Here is an estimate made by
one well acquainted with.its cultivation.
He says, he will take $4,000 and ex-
pend it in lands and in the preparation
of the same by raising levees and ditch
ing foririce culture. In three years he
will have in 500 acres of rice, which,
at the State yield ofl5 bbls. per acre,
would be 2 800 bbls., worth $3.50 per
bbl., the price at Lake Charles, which
would make the sum of $33,75o. Take
from that $1,000 tor expenses. and
$S, 600 for interest on $40, 900 forthree
years, making $4,000, we have left the
sum of s25,75o as the net profits of
the enterprise, which is equal to an in
come of ten per cent. on capital of
$257,5o0, when the actual capital en-
ployed was butslo,ooo These figures
are almost fabulous and may be a little
1overdrawn, bnt they show what may
be done by proper cnlturc and man
agement Of this profitable branch Of
industry. Ii surpasses all others in
this section.

The result of soundings over the
bed Of the Atlantic have made clear,
a is believed, the existence through
the middle of the ocean, extending
from North to South, of a ssunken
ridge, often less than one thousand
fathons from the surface while on
either sidesthe water has depth OF
from 5000 TO more than 3,450 faith
oms; 10 that the elevation of the
ocesn's bottom required TO make these
depths dry land would bring up be-
tween them mountain range from
5000 to Is. 600 feet in height. The
higher points Of the sunken ridge now
form the islands Of the Azores.
