THE New RECONSTRUCTION BILL.-The
bill seems to be compromise measure, and
will undoubtedly pass the House. The oath
to be exacted from the members of the Le-
gislature is not one of prohibition, like the
tcst-oath, but one of discrimination and
ualifcation-being substantially that ex-
acted by the boards of registration during
the election. The legislative committee of
nine from Virginia, who we're at the capi-
tol, express themselves satisfied with the
bill, and believe that it will be generally
acceptable to the Legislature. They are Of
the opinion that there is but one member of
the Legislature who cannot take the oath
prescribed.

Before Judge Jones.


William Smith Us. John NelsOn.-Tne plaintiff ,s
an immigrant vino came to this country some time
since, carrying around his person about $500 IN
gold secreted In belt, 500 in his pocket and a
gold watch and chain valued at over 500. The
one hundred and odd dollars, together with the gold
watch and chain, he deposited on his arrival with
the keeper OF a saloon in Cherry street for sale

phOnlOusly called 'JambOree, ,, and took up his loug
ings with Nelson, the defendant, who Keeps sailors

he was on the spree Nelson TOOK his money belt
from MIN for safe keeping and subsequently brought
HIM to the saloon IN Cherry street and got the 800
and the gold watch and chain, which Nelson also
took possession OF for safe keeping. Nelson then
had Smith sent up 10 Backwell's Island on charge
OF lunacy or deirlum tremens, where he stayed TWO
months On his Liberation Smith demanded his
property froal Nelson, who denied that he had any

ABOUT JOB PRINTING.-Our little
neighbor down street is uneasy about the
low price at which we execute job work.
He also seems to think that freight on
materials amounts to very little In the
course of a year. We can account for
this, thusly: That office was never In
the habit Of consuming more than twen-
five dollars worth of jobbing stock in any
one year, which, being ordered in one
lot does not make their freighting ex-
ponses very heavy. We consume more
than that amount weekly. and frequent
ly send two or three orders in that time,
which, if paid for at regular rates aoould
make difference IN our price of work.
What We claim is that we can and DO fiji
orders for job work cheaper than any
other establishment in the City. Here
is a specimen: We viii print cards, on
good material for $I.75 per 1000,
and cheaper still if necessary. How's

THE RA1LRoAD.-We are glad to be
able to say to-day that arrangements
have been concluded by which the build

Bay and Lake Pepin Railway--from

accomplished between now and the first

The bids, numbering some ten or twelve

and that point, are in, and under consld-
Grafton; but up to the time OF going to
press, the contracts had not been awsrd-
ed


1t is the intention of those having the
matter in hand to push the work forward
with all possible energy; and hope that
within the next two weeks the whole
line between the two points will be alive
with active operations.


The above good news IS from the Green
Bay Aduocate ard if substantiated will
best prove the necessity of the extension
of that road to Manitowoc, when the
time will also have come for our Two

interest in this important matter.

The wisdom and prudence shown BY
Mr.. Fish in the State Department may
be seen when we survey the present
condition OF our foreign relations.


The principal duty Of Mr.. Fish, as
Secretary Of State, was to keep the
peace ana assist in paving the debt.
This was not a brilliant, but an eX-
ceelingly useful function.


America at peace is the arbiter Of
Europe at war, and this is the glory of
splendid fact that will grow brighter
every day. We have the opportunity
to redeem and regain much of what We
lost in our civil war. The commerce
of Europe will seek our flag. Had

President. that fag would have covered

dissatisfaction with the European sys-
TENS of standing armies and mon
archies, and the power of one ruler to
throw million men into a peaceful
nation within a week /; the great change
that must follow this war, whatever its
result may be-all of this will compel
the prudent men of Europe to seek In
America that security for property that
cannot he found at home. The conf
dence that Mr.. Fish has inspired is
stable and unbroken. People of other
lands begin to trust America. They
see President whose life shows him

ing the highest quality OF a ruler By
| being brave enough to keep the peace.
In this he has been warmly seconded

Three hundred Feet, and Is NOT KILLED.


Yesterday morning. about 10 o'clock, says the
Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday a lad named
Martin Crossman, aged four years, and son of
Rev. James Crossman, pastor of the Evangelical
Association Chapel, fell over the precipice at the
head of Van Braam street, in the Sixth ward
and lodged upon the track of the Connellsville
Railroad, three hundred feet below. The eX-
press train on the road was just COM
ing in sight at the time, and the body was in
imminent danger of being crushed beneath the
train, when q workman happened to see the
danger, and seizing the apparently dead child
carried it from the track just in time to escape
the new danger. So close was the train upon
the man that it almost brushed his clothing as
he stood pressing his body against the rocky
hillside until it passed. He found that the boy,
although unconscious, was not dead, and
speedily carried him to his fathers residence on
St. Patrick's alley. Physicians were called, and
it was found that no bones were broken, al
though there were severe internal injuries and
numerous external cuts and bruises on the body
There are hopes that the boy will recover. 1t
appears that the lad was playing on one of the
oVer-hanging rocks, with some other children,
and in attempting to pick up something below
which had attracted his attention. he lost his
balance and went headlong down the precipice
His fall was broken by the shelving rocks. His
escape, nevertheless, was most miraculous. In
view of the numerous accidents which occur
here it is strange that the city authorities have
not erected a barricade along the bluff.

place gentleman one night was suddenly


seized IN bed with an excruciating pain in
the stomach, which neither brandy, No. 6,


nor any other remedy could remove. His
wife, after trying number of things in


vain, and having exhausted all her stock Of


remedies, left her husbands bed side for
tho purpose of getting O warm applica-


ton. Guided on her return by O. light


which she supposed was the one Just left,


she softly entered, and was not little


surprised to find her patient apparently in


deep slumber. However, thinking he
might still be suffering, she gently raised


the bed-clothes, &C., and laid the scalding
poultice upon a stomach-but not the
stomach Of her husband, which no sooner
touched the body of the person than he,
greatly alarmed, and writhing under the
| torture Of the burning application, shout-
ed: Halo hall what in the name of
heaven and earth are you about there p
Then, with one spring from his bed, he
made for the door, and rushing down
stairs, in frenzy of excitement, that some
one had poured shovel of hot Goals upon
; him. The woman, overcome with excite
ment and alarm, gave a frantic scream
| which brought her husband hurriedly in
from the next room to her rescue. The
husband was 50 much excited, and also SO
much amused with the singular mistake,
and the ridiculous position Of his better
| half, that he forgot all bis pains; but early


next morning he, his wi, e and trunks left


for parts unknown. The porlticed gen
