Serious Outlook Along the Water

ST. LOUIS, May 2.-Yery serious appre-
tensions are beginning to be felt for the
safety of property along the river front
The water is now nearly foot and half
above the danger line, and is still rising.
The loWland south of Chateau avenue
and east Of the high embankment
Of the Iron Mountain Railroad is
submerged. The Meser LIron Works,
on the eastern side of the river opposite
Carondelet, are surrounded by.water aud
have suspended operations, though there is
not any immediate danger. South of this,
| however, in that portion of the city occu-
pied by the Union stock yards and the great
lumber interests, there Is much trouble.
In East st. Louis there is great
danger OF a general overflow. Cahakia
creek, which runs through the town,
! is Overf0wed from the backwater, and
/ great extent OF country in the neighbOr-
hood Of BROOKLYN and Venice, two small
towns north of East ST. Louis, is submerg-
ed, causing many families to abandon their
houses. The water is also encroaching on the
national stock yards, but 1t has not reached
them yet, nor has the business of the
| yards been interfered with. Much
of the bottom further inland over toward
| the bluffs is said 10 be inundated and the
/ growing crops destroyed. All the roads are
strengthening their tracks and protecting
4 their property. But few inches more rise
in the water will cause great damage and
much interference with business, and posi-
/ bly, suspension of traffic on some of the
roads.

C0LORED JURORS.
important Decision of the Supreme
Court-A Delaware Negro Tried by
a white Jury Appeals from the
State COurt-The Case Remanded.

WASHINGTON, May "A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day in the case of William
Neal against the State of Delaware, in error,
from the Court of Oyer and Terminer fol
New Castle county. Neal, who is a negro,
was indicted, tried and sentenced to
death by the State court for the
crime of rape. His appeal to this
court is based upon the fact that the State
court refused to grant motion made by
him that the indictment and panel of jurors
De quashed for the reason that colored men
were excluded from the grand and
dicted and tried. This court holds
that the exclusion of colored
persons from juries, which is complained of
In this case, did not, as matter of law, re-
suit from the constitution and laws OF the
State. The case, therefore, could not have
been properly removed to the Federal
courts
Since, however, there was an improper
exclusion of cOlored men on account of
dicted and tried, the State court
erred in refusing to grant the motion
of the accused TO quash the Indictment
and the panels of Jurors. It's judgment is,
therefore, reversed, with costs, and case
remanded, with directions to SET aside the
judgment and verdict, as well
as the order denying the motions
to quash the Indictment and pencils
of jurors, and for such proceedings
upon further hearing OF those motions as
may be consistent with the principles of
the opinion of this court.
Mr.. Justice Harlan delivered the opinion,
Chief Justice Waite and Mr.. Justice Field
dissenting.

they change their minds about extending
their road to Pollard, or about laying steel
rail between Waycross and Thomasville, or
about running through sleepers from the
West to Florida via Albany, who can blame
them for that?
As to my creating a feeling against the
Commission, have only to say in reply that
have been too busy building the Waycross
and Jacksonville Line to be employed In
any such business. Personally, l have the
kindest feelings towards the gentlemen
comprising the Commission. II they will
only let our company earn fair income
from its property they will never
hear word from me save
In praise. But l believe that, as public
officials. their acts are open to criticism,
which they will certainly receive from me
upon matters affecting the interests under
my charge, and upon which | feel that
am competent to form a correct opinion.
As already stated l do not feel that fully
deserve the compliments paid me by
my friend of many years, the editor
of the Southern Enterprise. 1 do deserve
them to this extent, that have earnestly
endeavored to develop the resources of
Southern Georgia. Every new enterprise in
that region has received prompt and valuable
brought to my notice. have
diligently sought to bring forward
young men Of promise from Southern
Georgia whenever the opportunity offered,
and l shall continue these efforts so long as
the stockholders of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company continue
their confidence in me, or the Railroad
Commission leaves me any power as
General Manager.
Hoping that this explanation will set both
our company and myself right with the
people of Southern Georgia, l am your
obedient servant, II. s. HAINEs.

THE CXAR DEFIED.
A Bold Manifesto from the NihilIst
Executive Committee.

BERLIN, May 2.-Intelllgence from St.
Petersburg reports that the manifesto of the
Nihilist Executive Committee, printed on
the 18th of April, says: "The verdict against
the Nihilists, who have just received the
martyrs crown, was dictated as well as con
frmed By the Gar. The first act OF his
autOcratic will thus has been the hanging
OF women without waiting for his corona
tioD. He has sprinkled his throne with the
blood OF the champions of national right
Over the graves of our colleagues we pub
ltcly affirm that we will continue our efforts
for the liberation of the people. We will
no more be deferred by the gallows than
were Soloveieff and other cham
pions of the last reign. After
the event of the 18th of March the
Executive Committee informed the Emperor
that the only means of reverting to the path
of peaceful development was by an appeal
to the people. Judging by the execution
the Supreme Power has elected to appeal to
the hangman. So be it.''
The committee defers pronouncing any
judgment on the general policy of the
Emperor, but it declares that reactionary
policy will lead to consequences more dis
astrous than the event which took place In
March. The manifesto concludes by ap-
pealiIg to all who would shake eff slavery
to cooperate in the struggle for liberty.

yesterday. Three hundred and eighty six
delegates were present from all parts Of the

THE BEAUFORT HARBOR.
The New Hampshire TO be Ordered
AWay-FeaFs that the HarbOr Will
be AbandOned-'The South Carolina
Press Association.

BEAUFORT S. c., April 3 '.-Orders have been
received on board of the ship New Hampshire,
which has been stationed in Port Royal harbor
for the past five years, to repair to Norfolk,
there to be overhauled, then to be sent to New
port, R. l., where she will thenceforward be
employed as a training ship. 1t is feared that
this movement may be the precursor of a de-
termination to abandon Port Royal as a naval
station, and that the Pawnee, which has been
attending store ship, will soon follow, and
the waters of our grand and spacious harbor
be left desolate.
A meeting of the citizens of Beaufort and
preamble and resolutions were passed request
ing the Honorable Secretary of the Navy, in
the event of the removal of the New Hamp-
shire, that another vessel be sent to supply her
place, and that the station be thus kept up
DIR. Hale Stuart was called to the chair and
Colonel I. G. White was requested to act as
Secretary. A committee was appointed to for
ward the resolutions to the Secretary of the
Navy, begging that in view of our having no
Notifications or forts appropriated for by Con-
greSS, that our harbor oe protected by man
OF war, permanently to be stationed in our
waters.
Beaufort is all astir at present, making pre-
parationS for the reception and entertainment
of the State Press Association, which meets
here on Thursday next. A grand and impos-
ing reception is to be given the representatives
of the press, who are to be entertained from
Wednesday evening until Friday morning,
when the members will leave for an excursion
TO Florida via Savannah. WILL WIMPLE.
