Yesterday Sam English's we'll known
face and red hack were missing from
their accustomed place at the depot when
the train came in and the report was cur
rent that he had been drowned in the
river. Happily little later the report
proved incorrect, though it became dan
gerously near being the truth. 1t was in
this wise. A'r. English drove his team
attached to the dray down to the river
bank just above town to allow the horses
to drink. Just as they were at the edge
of the bank one of them became suddenly
frightened, reared and plunged forward
into the water, dragging his mate and the
wagon after him. Mr.. English, who was
ON ,he dray, narrowly escaped going into
the water, and saved himself only by
springing and catching the limb of tree.
Being unable to swim had he fallen into
the current he must have drowned. The
team and wagon floated into the swift
current, and one of the horses becoming
entangled in the harness drowned quickly.
The other, attached to his dead mate,
floated down the river and was still alive
when it passed the railroad bridge. but
died soon after. The wagon came ashore
and the carcasses Of the horses struck land
Gown near Benson's Landing. Several
packages of goods which were on the dray
went into the water and the greater part
of them are lost. The team was a valuable
one and their loss falls heavily On their
owner.
* very short time after the drowning Of
the team horse belonging to Mr.. Wool
sey escaped from the stable and by some
means got into the water and i too was
swept on by the swift current until it
drowned. The animal was valued At 5000.

Washington Special.
All information from Virginia goes to con-
firm the first impressions that a widespread
agreement existed among the Bourbon lead
ers to intmidate colored voters From being
the most orderly of the Southern States in
its submission to the reconstruction meas
ures, it has suddenly adopted means used
further South to control elections. So far as
the State is concerned, the action of the
Democratic leaders toward the close of the
late campaign appears from the reports
which have reached this point to show as
full determination to nullify the United
States law as existed in any Southern State
before the war, In asserting this determi-
nation little attempt was made at conceal
ment A citizen of Mississippi of high
standing at home and recognized there as
one of the most reputable men i'll the State,
was talking here short time before the cleo
ton on the subject of negro voting. He
said that, in the first place he did not be-
lieve that a single colored man in the South
had ever voted a Democratic ticket of his
own free choice; that every negro firmly be-
lieved that the Republicans had fought to
set him free while the Democrats had
fought to keep him in slavery. He declared
that this was we'll understood and fully ap-
preciated by the Democratic leaders of the
after the South was determined to protect
ITSELF 1t would either keep out the colored
vote by well-ordered system of intimida-
ton, or it would throw out the votes in the
count This gentleman proceeded to defend
this course on the ground of self-defense,
arguing that the right of self-protection
would fully Justify Southern communi
ties in resorting to the means indicated
to save themselves from negro domina-
ton. But, whether right or wrong, he
said it was a course definitely decided upon.
The recent occurrences in Virginia are ac-
'cepted here as clear indications of such de-
termination. The fact that the reconstruc-
ton of that State was consummated without
violence, and that in the main elections
have heretofore been free throughout the
State, give greater significance to the methods
Just employed by the Democrats there. Their
action is construed here to show that the
North will again have to deal with the solid
South, made solid as before by notification
OF national law, showing itself in a little diff
ferent form than in 1861, but no less nullii-
cation.

Emily J. Butterfield, the youngest of the six
children of worthy man who lived in Mel

a young girl her father was killed while en-
gagged in moving the Methodist church at
Melmore Emily Butterfeld was a very
pretty girl, with regular features and
long heavy auburn hair. She was witty, a
good conversationalist, and a leader in the
little society of Melmore, where she ac-
quired a common school education. Soon
after the death of her father, DR.. H. B. Mar

she remembered it, and one day after view

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
A word about Mr.. Robinson's conduct of
the canvass, which has brought into strong
light more than one side of his character.
He has made over seventy speeches in the
campaign just closed, speaking often three
times a day, necessarily on the road when
not on the stump, sought after by men of
all opinions-yet, with all this rush he has
not made a single statement the
accuracy of which has been questioned, has
not been led by good nature excitement
or policy into a single faux pas Gen.
Butler so to speak, was on his own ground,
and blunders from him were inexcusable; yet
Mr.. Robinson caught him in numberless in
accuracies. The reason of this, we take it,
not including the present governors capac-
ity or voluntary fallbility, is found in Mr..
Robinson's lifelong habit of doing things for
himself. He does not hire a man to read
and write his letters, nor man to look up
"hggers and fax" In the past six weeks
his speeches have been prepared in
the few moments that ne could
snatch on the cars. An hour at Boston
was worth more to him than a year there to
General Butler. He did not send his secre-
tary alter authorities, but went himself to
the State-house for the statutes and records
to the Auditors Office for State expenses and
to the newspaper offices when he suspected
that General Butler was hedging on his old
opinions. Mr. Robinson was cool. patient
selfdependent. A thousand men were ready
to run the campaign for him. and hundreds
did send him suggestions and points, any one
of which, recklessly used, might have been
fatal; but the responsibility was on his
shoulders, and he kept it there.
