THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY. MARCH 2, 1875.
A SINGULAR CALAMITY.
A few days ago, we read that during
services inSt. John’s Cathedral, Milwau
kee, recently, a large stucco ornament
fell from the ceiling, a distance of forty
feet, and crashed through one of the
seats. It happened that the occupants
of the slip, five in number, were kneel
ing at the time, and thus escaped the
terrible results that would have ensued
had the piece fallen at a time when
the family were off their hassocks.
The ornament weighed about ten
pounds, and was solid enough to cut
through the seat and indent the floor.
The crash startled the worshippers,
but the cause was not ascertained un
til after the service, when the family
pointed out their providential escape
from injury and death.
Moralists might have drawn an inge
nious plea for kneeling at prayer from
this remarkable incident, but unfortu
nately the exception to the rule came
with dreadful significance very soon
thereafter, in another locality. While
the attitude could not save anybody in
the second case, the sudden and tre
mendous exemplification of tho truth
of the preachei’s words was astonishing
ly real and tragic. We allude, of course,
to the recent calamity in New York by
which St. Andrew’s Church was par
tially destroyed and with much loss of
life and limb. The full details are
thrilling and heart-rending, but too
long for our columns. The subjoined
brief account will, however, suffice to
point a moral;
The Lenten services at St. Andrew’s
Church Thursday evening, were conducted
by Rev. Father Carroll, of St. Stephen’s
Church, and in his exordium to a large and
attentive congregation tho Rev. Father
earnestly exhorted those present to be pre
pared for death at any moment. He little
thought how terribly his exhortation was
to be emphasized.
As f he preacher delivered the words ‘*God
now knows whether or not you are prepar
ed to meet Him,” the assemblage were
startled by sharp, snapping noises that
came from the roof of the gallery at the
east side of the Church. Pieces of plaster
commenced to fall from the roof, and tho
startled people had scarcely time to look
above them when a thundering crash oc
curred, alarming and horrifying men and
women alike.
A rush was made to escape. Men, wo
men and children became piled in one het
erogeneous heap at the exlts.and the scene
became terrible in its awful intensity. Fa
ther Carroll exerted himself to the ut
most, and when comparative calm was
restored it was found that a portion of a
wall next the church had been blown over
by the force of the gale then prevailing,
and crashing through the roof of the sa
cred edifice caused the terrible disaster.
The officiating priest had a narrow es
cape, the chair in which he had been sit
ting being crushed and broken, and his own
person covered with the debris of the
broken roof.
The police and firemen were soon on the
scene, and efforts were at once made to
extricate the victims. Mr. Sweeney, of
Sweeney’s Hotel, placed his parlors at the
disposal of the workers, and as fast as the
(lead and wounded were recovered they
were taken there preparatory to their re
moval to the hospital; some, however, ex
pired in the hotel before they could be
taken away.
It is not often that a sermon of such
solemnity has so appalling an interrup
tion, as well as so marvellous and fatal
a.n interpretation of the text; but if
such things are rare they are very im
pressive, and if they do not teach a
man that in the midst of life he is in
death, the eloquence of Chrysostom
would be wasted, though he came for
that purpose from the world of spirits.
A Rebel Rhyme. —A New Orleans
poet thus strongly and grandly speaks;
It is a hallowed custom with all nations of
the earth
To mark, with ceremony grand, each noble
atriot’s birth.
Asa rebel (if successful) is his country’s
noble son—
We greet with joy the natal day of Rebel
Washington!
I may be wrong—’tis hard to tell—but still
it seems to me
That the one—the single— difference ’twixt
Washington and Lee
Was this—the first succeeded—and the last
was downward hurled,
But Washington fought Englishmen —while
Lee fought all the world !
Jones.— The supplemental report of
the Joint Finance Committee of the
State Legislature is pretty much a re
iteration of their former statement.
The modifications have been pointed
out in our special telegrams from At
lanta. Elsewhere we give the resolu
tions of the Committee and the vote
upon their passage.
Art.— -According to the Boston Post
corsets have been the destruction of
art There are no good models now
adays, say the sculptors. When Powers
made his Greek Slave he worked it out
of sixteen different models, and then
he had to go back to the antique for
his bust
The wearers of corsets will let art go
still further into decrepitude rather
than surrender those instruments of
torture.
—m '■
Ben Butler. —The telegraph informs
us that Blaine called Butler a “scoun
drel”, and now we learn that Poland
has branded him as “a liar—a damned
liar!”
John Young Brown can hide his di
minished head and “step down and
out.” Ben Butler seems to claim first
mortgage on all the scurrility of the
House.
Civil Rights. —Right on the heels of
the Civil Rights bill, the Washington
Chronicle records a “ revolting out
rage,” which is better imagined than
described.
Unanimous.— The Louisiana Investi
gating Committee unanimously agree
with Gen. Grant that the election in
that State, in 1872, was a “gigantic
fraud.”
“Bandits.”— The birthday *f Abra
ham Lincoln is a legal holiday in Lou
isiana. The banking banditti closed
their money-mills and religiously ob
served the day. What a people !
jgA Bandit.— ln the Italian papers,
Cc'l. John W. Forney is hailed as Capi
tano Giovanni Forfz. It is suggested
that Sheridan be sent after him.
BAYONET LEGISLATION.
The President has signed the Civil
Rights bill, and, until repealed, it is
the law of the land. It was the enter
ing wedge for the Force bill, and one
of the many progressive steps of the
Radical party toward consolidating the
Government and overthrowing Con
stitutional Liberty. As the prime ob
ject of the Civil Rights bill is to pro
voke Southern communities to vio
lence, it becomes the duty of our peo
ple to be very circumspect aud very
patient. If we are wise, this bill may
recoil upon the heads of those who
fondly hope to make it a leverage for
our destruction and the permanent en
trenchment of themselves in power.
The Force bill, winch has passed the
House of representatives and is now
before the Senate, is, without doubt,
the boldest aud most desperate mon
strosity the Radical leaders have been
guilty of since the war. Its final pas
sage is doubtful. Mr. Thurman’s ob
jection, after the first reading, post
poned it till to-day. As the session of
Congress closes on Thursday, at 12
o’clock, it would seem a matter of com
parative ease for the Democratic Sena
tors to “ talk it to death.” * Our tele
graphic dispatches intimate that this
course has been determined upon by
them, and we trust it will be pursued
successfully.
The future is full of danger and the
recent legislation of Congress is pro
phetic of stormy times. We of the
South should see to it that no unneces
sary detriment shall come to us by im
prudence of any kind. The North will
presently have an opportunity of de
fending her own liberties. If the
Northern people are not disposed to
save the remnant of their freedom as
bequeathed by the Fathers, why let
them go to perdition their own way.
When Grant and Butler ride them
rough-shod, they will probably curse
the day the South was made a victim
in war and a desolation in “peace.”
Carpet-Bagger. —The Nashville Union
and American defines a carpet-bagger
as a man who carries all the prejudices
of his nativity into the State of his
adoption, and never identifies his sym
pathies or interests with the people of
the latter; but, while enjoying its
honors, works against its every inter
est.

ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings—Resolutions
of Censure Against Jones Passed,
Under Protest—Gov. Smith Tells
What He Knows on the Bond
Gnestion—The Solons Adjourn—A
Day of Fasting and Prayer Recom
mended.
Atlanta, March 1.
The House mot this morning. No
motion to reconsider the action Satur
day night passing resolutions condemn
ing Jones, Carleton, of Clarke ; Cand
ler, Rankin, Walsh, Harrison, Leverett,
Anthony, and Wilson, of Clarke, en
tered their protest against the resolu
tion, stating that they considered it too
summary a manner to dispose of so
grave a question, claiming that the
Treasurer ought to be arraigned for
impeachment.
The resolutions were transmitted to
the Senate and where opposed by Mr.
Blance, who contended it was not
proper for the Legislature to censure
any official. Mr. Jones was a bonded
officer and his bondsmen were amena
ble for any defalcation or misconduct.
First resolution censuring the Treasu
rer for mismanagement was adopted
by 20 yeas to 12 nays. Several Senators
said they voted nay because they
thought Mr. Jones ought to be im
peached. Among the yeas were Messrs.
Cain, Gilmore, McDaniel, Crawford,
Kibbe and Felton. Among the nays
were Messrs. Blance, Hester. Perry and
Mattox. The other resolutions in
structing the Governor to institute
suit against the bondsmen and pro
viding for the appointment of an assist
ant to the Treasurer were adopted
without count.
In the House, the Governor’s mes
sage giving information relative to the
Nutting bonds and bonds probably
paid twice, was read but not acted
upon. The Governor stated as soon as
he had intimation of bonds being pre
sented for payment a second time, he
gave instructions not to pay such
bonds, and he understood from the
Treasurer no such bonds had been paid
since that time, if any had been paid at
all. He also said he had made repeat
ed efforts to obtaiu from Henry Clews
information in reference to his account
with the State, but without avail.
The House adopted resolutions re
questing the Governor to fix some day
in May for fasting and prayer.
Farewell addresses were delivered
by the President, Simmons, Speaker
Hardeman, Speaker pro tern. Bacon,
and the Legislature adjourned sine die
at twelve o’clock.
The Governor has ordered an elec
tion in the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict, to take place on the 4th of May,
in accordance with the request of Sen
ators, Representatives and the Execu
tive Committee of the District.
Calvin Fay, of this city, a Democrat,
has been appointed supervising archi
tect of the Custom House. Kimball’s
endorsement by the citizens seems to
have availed nothing.
[As the Governor has been request
ed to name a day of fasting and pray
er, we should like to know whether it
is to mourn over Jones or the Legisla
ture.—.Ed]
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Passage of the Force Bill—Gallant
Protest of Gen. Young—The Demo
cratic Senators to “ Talk it to
Death”—Adoption of the Louisiana
Resolutions Seating Ejected Con
servatives and Recognizing Kel
logg.
Washington, February 28—In the
House, the Caucus bill passed shortly
after midnight, amended to limit the
President’s right to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus, to Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas, and to expire
at the end of two years. The bill passed
by, yeas, 135 ; nays, 114.
Before the last vote was taken on
the passage of the bill, Gen. Young, of
Georgia, said he desired the country to
know one fact—that out of the forty
Democratic Representatives from the
States to be affected by the provisions
of this bill, not one ot them has been
allowed a word in the discussion upon
its merits, but, ca the contrary, the
gentleman in charge of it has thought
proper to deny time to any of the ltep
resentives from the Southern States
who intended to oppose the bill, ex
cept a few minutes, to two or three
of them.
It may be stated here that the Dem
ocratic Senators are determined that
the Caucus Force bill, which passed
the House this morning, shall not be
allowed to reach the President. Con
cessions, they say, are over.
The following is the fifth and last
section of the Civil Rights bill:
Section 5. That all cases' arising
under the provisions of this act in the
courts of the United States shall be re
viewable by the Supreme Court of the
United States witnout regard to tho
sum on controversy under the same
provisions and regulations as are now
provided by law for the review of other
causes iu said court.
Senate. —The Force bill was received
from the House of Representatives,
aud read a first time by title. Thur
man, Bayard and others objected to a
second readiug, it remains on the Vice-
President’s table till to-morrow. A
second reading will throw it over
another day. It will come up on a
direct issue Wednesday, and the ses
sion closes Thursday, noon. The De
mocrats are all determined the bill
shall not reach tho President.
Bills Passed—Revenue from the New
Tax Bill.
Senate. —The citizens of Dakota pe
tition that the Black Hills reservation
be opened to the people of the Territo
ries.
The bill making Pascagoula, Miss.,
a port of delivery passed.
The House bill to secure further se
curity of navigation in the Mississippi
river passed. The bill bridging the
Arkansas river at Pine Bluff passed.
The effort to get up the steamboat
bill failed.
The tax bill was resumed.
Chandler gave notice that he would
call up the steamboat bill to-night.
Morrill addressed the Senate on the
tax bill, which he reported without
amendment, and hoped no amendment
would be passed, as a single one would
endanger the bill.
The estimated increase of revenue
from tobacco is four million dollars;
seven and a half millions from molas
ses ; two millions from cigars and
twelve millions from whiskey.
In the House, Messrs. Lowndes,
Pierce, Sener, and Smith of Virginia
voted against recognizing Kellogg as
Governor.
The Appropriation bills were re
sumed in both Houses.
Session to-night.
House. —A motion to suspend the
rules aud adopt the resolutions report
ed by the Louisiana Committee was de
feated—yeas, 154; nays, 85, not two
thirds in the affirmative. A similar
motion to bring the resolutions to a
vote directly and separately was car
-ried—yeas, 172 ; nays, 85, Stephens of
Georgia being the only Democrat vot
ing aye. The resolution recommend
ing the restoration to the Louisiana
House of Representatives of the per
sons wrongfully deprived of their seats
was then adopted without a division,
and the resolution recognizing Kellogg
as Governor till the end of his term
was adopted by a party vote.
In the House, after disposing of the
Louisiana question, the House took up
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill,
which occupied tho whole of the day
and night sessions with the exception
of about an hour, in which eulogies
were delivered on the life and character
of the late Senator Buckingham, of
Connecticut. An appropriation of five
thousand (lallars was inserted to pay
the expenses of a suit ordered to be in
stituted by the Commissioner of the
General Land Office for the recovery
of the lands held by the new Idriu
Mining Cos., being the famous McGar
rahan claim.
Senator Logan is speaking in oppo
sition to the Tariff bill.
TENNESSEE.
The Great Flood—Extraordinary
Scenes and Incidents.
Chattanooga, March I.—The river
has been at a stand since morning, cov
ering Market street from River to Ninth
street, submerging the Union Depot,
the Commercial, Vanhorn and Read
hotels, and very nearly all the business
houses on Market and Ninth streets.
South Chattanooga is completely
swamped, and a great many houses in
the main part of the city which are not
so fortunate as to be situated on high
ground. One man, who was intoxi
cated, was drowned Saturday and two
last night, one of whom was colored.
The other was Chief Engineer of the
Chattanooga Iron Company’s Works
named Jones. This comprises all the
fatalities known.
The steam ferry boat was among the
submerged houses in South Chattanooga
Saturday relieving and taking off
all who were in need. Many have been
the duckings received, but everybody,
not excepting those whose loss is hea
viest, is in a happy mood and disposed
to take it cheerfully. We have to use
a boat to got to and from the telegraph
office and from one side of the town to
the other ; still messages have been de
livered nearly as promptly as usual,
notwithstanding the greatly increased
number of them in consequence of the
flood. Railroads are cut off in every
direction, consequently no mails to or
from the city for several days past
until now. A steamer has gone down
the river with mails and passengers to
Bridgeport, where it will meet the train
for Nashville. Only one wire remains
up, and there is fear of its loss momen
tarily.

Fxpress messenger, in this city four
weeks ago, was captured at Capo Gi
rardeau Saturday night by a detective
and brought here to-day. Johnson
has already been indicted by the
grand' jury, and as the offense is
punishable with death, the proba
bilities are that he will hang. The de
tective first struck his trail at Metrop
lis, H.l, and, after following him Jver
200 miles, secured him as above stated.

CONSUMPTIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Sclionek’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Sclienck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medi
cines, according to directions. Dr. Schenck
certifies that most any case of .Consumption
may be cured,
Dr. Schenck is professional!y at his princi
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,
