1t will be remembered that after one
structure on the Eddystone Rock had
been de, troyed by storm and another by
fl e, John Smeaton undertook the task
which was successfully completed more
than h,inured years ago. He secured
a perfect foundation fo- the massive pile
by an ingenious system Of dovetailing
which fixed the lower courses Of stone
into the solid rock of the roof. But he
discovered after the entire work was fin
ished, a small cavern in the reef imme-
diately under the foundation, which
might, he thought, prove a source OF
trouble at some distant period OF
the future. He estim ated the cost oil
filing up and properly cementing al
$l250, and recommend it should be done
Immediately. But it was never done,
and the incessant action of the waves,
assisted perhaps by the weight and vi
brations of the tower above, has en-
larged the cavern until the foundation
can no longer be trusted. The old light
house will be torn to the bigh-wa ater
level and a new one built 100 feet south
east of 1t. Had Smeaton's advice been
followed there is every reason to bolieve
that the building with which his name is
inseparably associated would have stood
forever.

THE ABoL1T1oN1sTs AGAIN AT


WORK. ..


There is no doubt but what
the poor, ignorant aud credu>
1ous negro ofthe south is again
to be victim;zed by these bad
aud wicked men. Who can
doubt for one moment that the
abolitionists of the North are
at work in what they call "the
labor of love" They have
flooded the south with their
wicked and dishonest emissa-
,.ies, who, under the cloak Of
religion, approach the south
ern negro, and with falsehood
and promises never to be full
filed, tell the poor ignorant
creatures of the delights of life
in Kansas. They promise HIM
a home, social equality and all
the blessings this life can af-
ford ; and if their agents are
to be believed, God has selec-
ted free Kansas for the negro
Of the south. Kansas is the
land of promise for these sons
Of Ham. They even tell the
negro and present him with
chromos having cotton fields
reaching for miles in every di-
rection through the beautiful
State of Kansas, repre-
senting a colored gentleman
sitting ON his gallery, with a
cigar in his mouth, reading the.
newspapers of the day; his
wife superintending his house,
hold affairs and a WHITE wo-
man in the kitchen acting as
pastry cook.


Now, what should be the
punishment inflicted upon the
agents Of these hypocrites, in
hdels and liars of the north !!
We pity the poor negro Of the
south who has been persuad-
ed by these false and bad men
to migrate to the State Of
Kansas. They will find. when
they reach there no friendly
welcome, a cold climate, hard
ships, and starvation only a
question of time. Many ne~
groes may be deceived by
these emissaries Of the north,
and we only pray God in his
own good time will punish al
who have taken part in this
wretched work.


We can cnly say to our col
ored people Of Louisiana to
stay at home, be industrious
and saving, lay up their mon

be made as easily as here in
Louisiana by the agricultural

northern man is as cold as the
northern climate and it is no

Even the Boston Transcript gives Senator
Chandler welcome, and says: Hon. Zach.
Chandler's arrival to participate in the Re-
publican canvass will do all that can be
done to infuse into the State campaign some
of the old fervor and JUNCTION of the days
when the Republican party had all its great
fight yet to make, and the ardent, moral
purpose of Massachusetts and New England
led them to flock to its standard almost as
one man. Massachusetts will never fail to
sympathize with the heroes of that strug-
gle, in which she was SO largely a part, while
the patriotic sentiment of the days that tried
mems souls still animates them above all
sordid politics. Mr.. Chandler's steadfast-
ness and simplicity of aim are rebuke to
that class of Republican politicians who
have made traffic of the enthusiasm he hon
estly feels, and who only work in Republi-
can guise to serve the arch-enemy to present
Republican purposes and principles in this

''uuoui, VI hdlle, yes
terday, did a very neat and adroit
thing and fairly unhorsed the Con.
federates in their position on the
Army bill. He offered his amend
ment to the Democratic clause pro.
hibltlng troops at the polls: "And
any person who shall, with intent to
hinder, obstruct, or prevent the free
exercise Of the right Of suffrage, ap.
pear armed with a deadly weapon Of
any description, either concealed
or displayed, within a mile Of any
polling place where an election for
Representatives in Congress is being
held, shall, on conviction thereof, be
punished by fine Of not less than
$500 nor more than $4,000, or with
Imprisonment not less than 6 months
nor more than ) years, or with both
such fine and Imprisonment, in the
discretion Of the court" What
could be more reasonable than that,
since any bulldozer must have the
intent proved against him he should
be punished for undoubted criminal
ity? Mr.. Window keenIy remarked
";he majority has voted that it should
be criminal of'ense for any person
to bring armed men to the polls, and
had also voted that it should not be
crime for any person to appear
armed at the polls. Were they now
ready for to vote that it should net
be criminal for person to come
armed to the polls with the avowed
purpose to hinder anr ,bstruct the
free exercise Of suffrage"


That was too severe a conundrum
for the Confederates. They didn't



try to answer it. They voted solidIy
in effect to drive troops and loyal
men away from the polls, but to al
low armed assassins of the white
line species to intmdate as much as
they pleased. That is the clear in.
depreciation Of their action. Sena.
tor Windham then moved to amend
by striking out the word "ciVil"
from the bill so that any civil officer
trying to maintain peace at the polls
should not be punishable for that
act alone. The Confederates voted
this down also. Thus plainly ex.
posing their purpose to be to main
tain themselves in power by carry.
ing Congressional districts at the
point of the bowie knife and the
muzzle of the rifle. Senator Win.
dom is entitled to the thanks of the
country for the very handsome way
in which he dealt this blow to the
Democratic conspirators. His pro.
posed amendment and his little
speech thereon could of themselves
alone make campaign document
that would convince thousands of
people of the danger that threatens
in the possible ascendency OF the
party which is led by the 10 Confed.
crate Brigadiers in the Senate.


In fact, this little incident is but a
part of the grand whole; the reac-
tion in behalf of the Republicans is
fastened by the mad career of the
Democrats, whose anxiety to grasp
plunder and power is driving them
to perilous acts and arousing conser.
vative people everywhere to the fear
of their advance. The powerful ef.
forts Of Window, Blaine, Conkling,
Robson, Frye and Garfield have
aroused an enthusiasm which must
last until the campaign Of 1880 not
only secures the Presidency again
but drives the Confederate army
from the Capitol.


The organization OF the Republi.
can Congressional Committee is in
response to this spirit of revival.

Consumers of iron are buying,
many of them for future, as well as
for present use, and unless business
is remarkably prosperous, are not
likely to repeat their orders for
some time to come. Those who
have taken contracts, to execute in
the future, requiring large amounts
of iron, may find themselves doing a
losing business, unless they have bar
gained for the iron in season. One
popularity of the rising market is
the uncertainty in making prices for
future construction of boilers, ma
chinery and other iron work. AS
no one can calculate what the price
of iron, or Of labor will be
a month hence, the seller
takes, in most cases, more risk
than the buyer. Some apprehension
is felt that, with all our mills
and furnaces in full operation, the
market will become overstocked,
and prices go down as rapidly as
they went up; but those best quail
fed by long experience to Judge the
situation, can see no cause for
alarm. The fact must be borne in
mind that prices of iron were alb
normally low, and that consider
able portion of the advance was
necessary to place the trade upon a
fair paying basis.
