that the restitution back in the Sun

" 5, 1879, just before the departure
Of the expedition from San Francisco,
in which he asserts that the vessel
was unfit for the service to which she
was assigned. He says that as soon as
he saw her be knew that she would
never do for such voyage; that what
was done to make her better would
not be of use; that she would never
stand the ice, and that he felt sure
she would never come back 1t the
facts set forth in this letter-and its
writer may be assumed to have known
what he was taking about-are ac-
cepted, they constitute a very serious
charge against somebody, Mr.. Bennett
certainly intended toput the vessel in
the very best condition. The liberal
ity with which he provided for the
expedition and the energy and gener-
osity with which be has sent relief to
the survivors show clearly enough that
he spared nothing that money could
supply to insure the safety and success
of the voyage. If the Jeanette was
unfit for the service when she sailed
Mr. Bennett was deceived. Whether
the Navy Department, which manned
the vessel and officially supervised her
outfit, is cbargeable with neglect, OF
the contractors who did the work were
guilty of swindling, is a question
which ought to be answered. 1t is an
obvious comment that if Lieutenant
Melville knew of the actual condition
of the Jeanette his superior officers
must have known as much, The
Lieutenant says that he is not man
to back out after going SO far, and
that he would go if he was certain he
would never get back Captain De
Long, no doubt, was equally courage
Gus, though his pluck might not re-
lieye him of the duty of reporting the
facts about his vessel"

AUSTIN, MISS, March 10, 1867.
EDITOR LEDaER.-A line from this
vicinity at present. may be Of interest
to your many readers. Like all the
overlooked districts, we are heavy
losers and sufferers, although it could
be much worse with us.
Austin remains intact, with the
exception Of the loss of some eight or
ten buildings, Prominent among which
was the Masonic and Alexander's store
buildings.
The loss in our county falls heavily
upon all, but principally upon the
plantations, where cabins, fences, and
much Of the stock, have been drawn
into the sweeping waters, carried of
and destroyed. These losses, together
with the privations necessarily en-
tailed, make the general suffering the
more poignant.
The crevasse in the levee, almost in
our midst, was made Monday morning
9th inst, just before day. Had it oc.
CURED early Sunday night, there
would have been many panic stricken
and loss Of the lives Of many would
have followed. AS the water rushed
through the crevasse did not widen

water being so great, soon washed 9

The Executive Committee to
Meet.

Meet.
Nashville World, l7th.l
At last Mr.. John Childress, Chair.
man of the regular Democratic Com.
mittee, has concluded to 60 about
the work Of laying party plans
for the future. He calls the
Democratic Executive Committee to
meet April 4th. We are glad he has
concluded to move, but we would
have been gladden. if he had fixed tie
same time which was chosen by Mr..
Wallace In calling the low tax Com
mittee. This would have given the
two wings Of the party a chance to
confer and possibly agree upon a plan
of co operation for the future. This
would certainly have been the best
plan, and ought to have been adopted.
We believe, however, that when the
Committee meets, that many Of them
will come up fresh from the people,
and be better posted than blr
Childress in regard to the spirit Of
compromise and concession, which
every whereprevails among all factions,
and with this knowledge of the situa-
ton, they will be prepared to act.
We do not believe in running after
and coaxing any particular element to
come back to the regular Democratic
flag. but we do believe that every
inducement should be held out,
and when the convention is called
all Democrats, of whatever shade of
opinion, should be given to understand
that they are welcome, and that the
cause is their cause. The executive
committees in the several counties
should be urged to pursue a concllia-
tory policy, and when the people meet
together in their county conventions
should send none but men who repre-
sent public sentiment, and are in
favor of harmonizing. Let the i'm
placable ones in both factions take a
back seat and let conservative men
be elected. Send no more hot headed
men, who come to split up the party,
if their own peculiar faction cannot
have its way. If any man who has
heretofore made a hobby of the Stats
debt for the purpose Of riding into
| Office on any other purpose and has
been a disturbing element, see to il
that he is not sent to the convention
to ride his hobby and disgust couser-
vative men. Send no men who have
personal or private ends to gain. II
Mr.. Childress' call shall embrace the
whole Democracy and the people shall
send the right kind of men to repre-
sent them in convention, there viii BE-
a Democratic victory this year. be
cause such men will uuquestionably
adopt a platform that will leave the
bowling extremist no ground upoT
which to stand, and leaves him not
able TO muster a corporals guard in
the way Of following.
