“ THKKK IS MOKE IH THE MAE THAN
THKEE IS IN THE UNI.”
The New Departure and the speeches of
ex President Davis seems to have set all
the political manager* by the ears, North
and South; The Memphis Appeal seems
to consider that a ooalition of both parties
has been effected, and thua reached the
conclusion that we are in the blissful state
of being “all Republicans, all Democrats,”
and on the eve of a political milieniurc, or
something worse, and that the next poiiti
cal campaign is to be a free fight, solely
between the “Ins and the Oats.” Bays
the Appeal :
“ Since it is evident that the Democrats
will acquiesce in the mutilation of the
Constitution, and make no effort to rid it
of the excrescences fixed by fraud and
usurpation, the Democratic guns are
spiked. There is nothing left to fight for,
save the spoils of office. This ‘new de
parturc’ by the Democrats will induce the
Radicals to make a retrograde movement,
and at the next session of Congress they
will grant universal amnesty and make the
same bid for Democrats which the Dem
ocrats have made for the Republicans.
Already the Republicans are adjusting their
platform, so as to secure a reduction of
the tariff, discontinuance of direct taxa
tion, reform in the civil service, economy
in the working of the governmental ma
chine, and a sweeping correction of those
numerous abuses that have grown and
flourished from rocking battle-fields aDd
prostituted law. The Democrats can
promise no more, and the contest will be
simply a scramble between the ins and
the outs —a war as ridiculous and oon
temntible as that which raged in the
empire of Lilliput between tnc nig
endians and the little-endians, as to
whether eggs should be broke on the large
end or the small end. Republicans arc
guilty of misrule, .tyranny, usurpations
and corruptions, and when the Democrats
acquiesonoo in these outrages, there is
just about as much difference between the
two parties as there is between the thief
and the receiver of stolen goods.”
If the views of tho Appeal be correc
ts ere is still left us a choice between men,
and we believe that “there is more in the
man than there is in the land,”
OBKKLKY’H THUNDEB.
lioraco Greeley, in a late number of the
New York Tribune, throws down the
gauntlet in this wisp to Merton and the
President-General, and the national Ku-
Klux oaucus of tho Republican party at
Washington. Greeley says:
“ To support the administration is one
thing. To advocate the renomination' of
its head is another. We support the ad
ministration. * * * We tell Repub
licans, real and nominal, that tho business
in hand is not tbo destruction of a party
to secure the ronomination of a President,
but the preservation of a party for the
election of a President yet to be nomina
ted —not the reduotion of our ranks to a
number convenient for the distribution of
tho offices, but the effort to make sure
that we shall have the office* to distribute,
not warfare among our factions, but war
fare on tho enemy.”
Mr. Grocley represents a large wing,
perhaps the larger wing of the Republi
can party—the non-office holding Republi
cans, and with this advantage of Grant’s
political Scnitoriai Lieutenant he Las daily
communication with the masses of the Re
publican party. But General Grant has the
U. S. Treasury at his command, and the
office holders who have renominated him
already at his back, thoroughly organized
and posted, and the administration of the
Ku-Klux law in his hands* Now, what
can Greeley do? The convention which
Grocley looks forward to will be a mere
delusion. It is a foregono conclusion that
offioc holders will make up and control
that convention, and will as matter of
form pass a scrips of resolutions to re
nominate Grant. Wo can discover no
alternative except a coalition with Jeff.
Davis to swing round tho circle, in favor of
universal amnesty. Grocley and Davis,
North and South, would be more than a
match for Morton and Grant or the anti-
KuKlux platform of universal amnesty.
TKOUHLK IN THE RADICAL CAMP IN
SOUTH CAROLINA—WHAT LIRKH TO
HAVK HAPPRNKD!
Tho South Carolina Radicals arc not
pleased with Governor Scott’s reocnt
course* They charge that he has Bold out
to the Democrats —that he has removed
>;o«d and faithful members of his own par
ty from offioe to make for simon pure
Democrats ; that in many counties of the
State tho livoe and property of foil men
have boon placed in imminent peril by the
mfluonoe and power of Soott’s Democratic
ofljoe-boMers, and that finally, and most
intolerable to bo borne, Gen. M. G* Butler,
a distinguished Confederate offioer and
blood-thirsty rebol, actually controls the
government of the State through his influ
ence over Soott, who is in mortal fear of
this unreconstructed rebel.
Soott has taken a tour North, and in his
abseneo, Ransicr, tho negro Lioutouaut-
Governor, has been active in fomenting
dissatisfaction in the Radical ranks, and
his chicanery went so far as tho arrange
ment of a plan by which Soott should be
deposed, and ho promoted £P bis place.
The plan was this:
Ransicr, as Lieutenant-Governor, and,
in Soott’s absence, the aciing Governor,
arranged to oall an extra session of the
Legislature. This was to be done on
twenty-four hours public notioe, tho faith
ful having been previously informed of
the movement and induced to lend it their
support. A majority of the Legislature
were hanging around Columbia and Charles
ton, where they have taken refuge since
adjournment upon tho plea that they are
afraid to return to their respective homes.
As soon as thjs revolutionary body as
sembled they were to proceed at once to
she impeachment of Scott, articles for
whioh had been quietly and secretly pre
pared by Ransier and his co-oonspirators.
So careful had Ransier and his tools been,
and so secretly had they oonduoted the
whole affair, that tho matter had actually
progressed within twenty-four hours of its
development before any of Scott’s friends
suspected the trick.
Unfortunately for Ransier and his
friends, by some means the plan reached the
ear of Chamberlain, a friend of Scott,
and who furnishes all the brains
for the party in the State, and he set
about at once- to kill the plot. By
dint of incessant working and of making
great promises on behalt of bcott for his i
future good behavior towards hi* party —
a few of Kasnier’s strongest friends were
induced to abandon the scheme. Then |
there was a general withdrawal of the in- j
surreotionarv forces until in a lew hours
Ransier was left with but a coporal’s guard j
and was forced for the present to abandon (
his design of making himself Governor. j
Thus, by mere accident, Scott has been j
saved from the tender mercies of his '•
friends and the people of the State the
mortification and disgrace of having the 1
gubernational chair filled by a worthless
and rascally negro. We congratulate
them oh their good lack.

Versailles, May 34—Ob, horrible!
horrible 1 most horrible 1 Paris is being
destroyed before my eyes. As I stood on
the terrace of Mendon this afternoon, fas
cinated by the awful spectacle before me,
the mysterious words of the Apocalypse
came into my mind:
“Babylon the great is fialleo, and is be
come the habitation of devils. As much
as she hath glorified herself and hath been
in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow
give ye to her, because she saith in her
heart, I sit a queen and sorrow I shall not
sec. Therefore shall her plague come in
one day, death and mourning and famine,
and she shall be burnt with the fire. And
the kings of the south shall weep and be
wail themselves over her, when they shall
see the smoke of her burning, standing
afar off for tear of her torments, saying,
Alas! alas! that mighty city, for in one
hour is thy judgment come. And the
merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her, standing afar off from
her for fear of her torments, weepiDg and
mourning, aod Raying, Alas! alas! that
great city which was clothed with fine
linen bd<l purple and scarlet, and was gilt
. with gold and precious stones and pearls ;
for in one hour are so great riches eome to
oaughf. * * * And in her was found
the blood of prophets.and of saints.”
Hainr John could not have described
with more accuracy what is now going on
in uaris ana wnat are tne emotions of the
wbolo world as it hears of the destruction
of that Babylon, had he been an eye wit
ness of the scene. The Louvre, the Tuile
ries, the Palace of the Legion of Honor,
the Council of State, the Hotel de Ville,
and the Palais Royal are either heaps of
ashes or piles of flame, and 1 have just
been told that the Pantheon and the Lux
embourg have been blown up, while all
over the quarter in which the insurgents
are still holding out bow conflagrations
burst forth every moment. These are
simple words, and you cannot comprehend
all their awful meaning at once. If the
Treasury, the Patent Office, and the Capi
tol at Washington should all be burned at
once, the people in America would feel
dismay , if the British Museum, the
Ileuses of Parliament, the Tower of Lon
don, Windsor Castle, and the National
Gallery and tho Royal Academy wero con
sumed by fire it would be a bad thing ;
if half of the West End of London and all
New York from Union Square to Central
Park were in flames, tbo loss would be
great ; but all those calamities put to
gether could scarcely equal that which has
been caused in Paris to-day.
There was some doubt as to whether
these conflagrations were tho work of the
Communists, or whether they had been
caused by tho shells of the troops. It
soomed unreasonable that men who wore
engaged in defending themsolvos should
set fire to tbo buildings whioh were their
strongholds. But it now appears that the
Communists had sworn, in their desperate
frenzy, to conquer or to literally bury
themselves beneath the ruins of the city :
to die like so many Samsons, pulling down
upon their beads every monument of his
torical or monarchical Paris, fearfully
have they carried out their throat. ft
seems they had prepared themselves with
great quantities of petroleum several days
before tho entrance of the army ; this
they had collected in tho various buildings
which they had rose Jved to destroy, and as
they were driven from these, one by ODe,
they gave them to the flames.
I confess I am out of all patience with
M. Thiers. The ineffable egotism of the
man is not in the least abashed by the
contemplation of the irreparable calami
ties which his own indecisioa and weak
ness have brought upon Paris “No one
could have prevented the crime of these
wicked wretches, ” said M. Thiers to the
Assembly to-day. Nonsense! Nothing
would have been easier than for M. Thiers
himself to have retained Paris in his own
hands on the 18th of March, had lie only
been wise in time; or nothing would Lave
been easier than for the citizens of Paris—
the men of order—ho have put down the
band of foreign adventurers whose mad
ness lias now laid Paris in ruins, M-
Thiers was so anxious to av'h'd the shed
ding of blood that lie has ended by shed
ding blood in torrents j he was so anxious
not to lire on Paris that he has ended by
seeing Paris in flames, lint still, witli
sublime impudence, lie affects the god.
To-day the Assembly convened at three
o’clock, and a member asked a question
concerning the presence in Paris of M.
Jules Ferry as Prefect. M. Thiers, who
is a consummate actor, began bis reply in
. a voice which, trembled. “I am always
ready, ” said he, “ to listen to the advice
of the Assembly. ” He continued :
“ The melancholy events of whicli Paris
has become the scene cause me deep afflic
tion. The insurrection is overcome. The
odious act—one unparalleled in history—
of which some villians have just been
guilty, is the crowning act of their de
spair. The generals, desiring to treat the
city with leuity, withheld any attack upon
public monuments in which the insur
gents had taken up positions. This morn
ing they carried the Place de la Concorde.
The Ministry of Finances, the Hotel of
the Conseil d’Etat, the Palace of the Le
gion of Honor, and the Palace of the Tuil
erios w ere burnt by the insurgents. When
the Hoops gained possession of the Tuil
eries it was but a mass of smouldering
ashes. (Cries of indignation.) The Louyre
will be saved to us. Another grievous
piece of intelligence is that the Hotel de
Villa is in flames. (Renewed outburst of
indignation.) I am convinoed that the
insurrection will be completely comiuerea
by this evening at tho latest. No one
oou’d have prevented the crime of these
wicked wretches. They have made use of
petroleum lor their incendiary purposes, ’
and have sent petroleum bombs against
our poldierr. What remedy can be ap
plied? you will Let us preserve a
cool judgment. The remedy is union.
Without that we shall never attain to
anything but resolutions which will be dis
puted and ever disputable. Let us first
complete the victory; it has been difficult
to procure- The best of the generals of
the arrpy Laye shown an amount of talent
and valor w'Hioii has excited the admira
tion of foreigners, who have expressed it
to us. After what W? have Already done
I implore the Assembly to allow us to
complete this work, which weigh? heavily
upou us, inasmuch as our efforts aro
directed against Frenchmen. There should
be no distrust of u?. When the insurrec
tion shall have been suppressed we shall
nst fail to punish, according to law, but
implacably. Our right of pardon we
invite you to share with us. It is false
that the National Guard is being rearmed.
Somo officers, partisans of order, caused
the rappel to be beaten at Passy, and
have ooliected men who are knowo to be
trustworthy. I have given orders that
this proceeding be discontinued. It is by
an error that M. Jules Ferry lias been
mentioned In the Journal Official as Pre
fect of the 3einc. No one could be found
willing to accept the responsibility and
burdsD of that office. Such a functionary,
however, was absolutely necessary to inter
vene between the army and the civil
population. An appeal was then made,
and not without success, to the patriotic
devotion of M. Ferry, who has already
performed those functions. All that is
but provisional. The population must be
disarmed, (Loud applause.) Maires will
be appointed. Be not impatient. Leave
us to finish our task, and never again will
the country see such an insurrection. I
long for repose; you can cooler it upon
me —(’No, no’)—but pray do not add to
our difficulties. We share your sorrows,
your anguish. Allow us to aot with calm
ness. We have need of all our coolness
and of full freedom of mind.”
M. Thiers was too sanguine—he is al
ways too sanguine—in saying that the
Louvre would be saved, and that the
insurrection was euded. Three-fourths of
the Louvre is already burned, and the
most that can be done is te save one or
two of its courts. O’Halloran.
A WEEK OF BLOOD AND FIRE.
Thrilling Descriptions of the Fighting, the
Conflagrations, and the Executions—
Hundreds of Women Shot by the Troops.
[Corrcs}>ondencc of the London Times.]
Paris. Thursday.—ln the evening, soon
aftet 8 o’clock, the firing died out almost
everywhere, and there was r dead ealm.
the barricades—there were barricades
everywhere—had for the most part been
finished, and one might pass most of them
without fearing to be requisitioned as a
m . m yway down the Rue
L*layette, making occasional detours for
strategical reasons. 'What strange people
these 1 ansians are. It was a fine evening,
and thesoenem the narrow streets was
like Dute s place in Aldgate on a summer
Sunday afternoon. Men and women were
placidly sitting. on chairs by the street
doors, gossipping leisurely about the
eveute of the day. The children played
round the barricades; their mothers scarce
ly looked up M the penerofebeat or the dis
tant report of the bursting of a shell came
on the light night wind. Reaching the
Hotel de la Cbaussee d’Antin, I found
that it bad been a very hot corner during
the afternoon. It is dose to the Boule
vard Haussmano, which had beeo continu
ously swept with shell all the afternoon.
A fragment had invaded the privacy of a'
friend whom I had left in the hotel, and
bad fallen before him on hi* desk as he
wrote. The reaacn of the temporary lull
was not very apparent—perhaps the Ver
gailiists were rating n late dinner. About
10 the din began again. Shell after shell
burst close to us in the Boulevard Hausg
mann, and there came the loud noise of a
more distant fire, which seemed to be
sweeping the barricade. In the intervals
of the shell fire was audible the steady
grant of the mitrailleuses, and I could dis
tinctly hear the pattering of the bails as
they rained down the adjacent Boulevard
HaussmaD. This dismal din, so perplex
ing and bewildering, continued all night.
A friend sleeping in the room above me
was awakened by the smashing of the but
ton of a shell through his window. It
dcDted a hole in the roof above his bed
and fell on his pillow.
the boulevard haussmann.
Daybreak brought no cessation of the
noise. Looking out and cautiously up the
Bodlevard Haussmann. I saw before me a
strange spectacle of desolation. Lamp
posts, kiosks, aod trees were shattered
apd torn down, lbe road was strewn
with the green boughs of trees which had
been cut by the storm of shot and shell.
The Versaillists had a battery in position
at an emplacement close to tho Caserne
de la Pepiniere, and had possession of a
slight barricade lower down, with 400
yards of the eastern end of the boulevard,
at the Rue Taitbout. It was held as an
outpost, and over it the battery was firing
steadily with shrapnel shell and mitrail
leuse in the eastern end of the boulevard,
where a few National Guards still prowled
in doorways, throwing a shot nowand then
at the barricade. Communist sergeants
were rushing about the side streets and
the Rue de Lafayette, ordering everybody
to close their windows but to open their
jalousies, this seemingly being regarded
as a precaution against Versaillist sympa
thizers firing on them from the houses.
000 thing is remarkable in this curious
episode of fighting. There has been no
Guards to occupy the houses and fire from
them at the advancing Versaillists. They
have been content to utilize barricades
and such cover as the streets casually af
forded. The Versaillists, on the other
hand, are said to occupy the houses and
tire freely from them; as to the truth of
this I know not of my own knowledge, but
Ido koow that they expose themselves
very little indeed ; and that, except in a
few instances, they have done nothing in
the way of hand-to-hand fighting. *
A HORRIBLE MATTER.
I penetrated as far as the head of the
Rue St. Honorc where it run3 into the
Rue Royale, and there was witness to one
of the strangest cross-question and crooked-.
answer spectacles I ever saw. The Versail
lists were io the Rue Faubourg St. Hon
ore, which is a continuation, on the west
ern side of the Rue Royale, of the Rue
St. Honore, behind the barricade at the
end of which I was standing. The Ver
saillists were in the Corps Legislatif across
the water, and were firing over the bridge
and the Place de la Concorde into the big
foderal barricade across the end of the
Place Royale. In one sense, then, the
Versaillists in the Ruo Faubourg St.
Honore were behind the defenders of this
barricade ; but then our barricades at the
Rue St. Honore neutralized them there,
and so the deadlock seemed a fixture.
One thing I established for certain, and
that was that the Versaillists were not in
the Place de la Concorde,
Returning to the Hotel de la Ohaussee
d’Antin I found the Versaillists engaged
in developing another plan of tactics.
Yesterday they had already carried the
Place de l’Europe on their way to Mont
martre. Now they had got the Place and
Church of the Trinity, and were working
eastward by the narrower streets in pref
erence to advancing down the Boulevard
Haussmann and then along t)>e Rne La
fayette. About 10 there came- the sound
of a terrible fire behind the hotel, and I
managed at some risk to obtain ocular
proof that the Versaillists had carried
the Church of Notre Dame de Lorette.
and the man-trap barricade in which I
had got involved yesterday, and were now
fighting their way along the Rue Chateau
dun, so as to get into the Rne Lafayette,
on the eastward considerably of my hotel.
Meanwhile a heavy fire was maintained
down the Boulevard Haussmann, so that
our hotel seemed imminently about to be
surrounded. As I returned to its front,
and prowled forward cautiously into the
Rue Lafayette, and looked up eastward to
the barricades across the Rue Lafayette,
and continued across the Rue Chateaudua,
I saw tho federals firing furiously down
the latter street. After considerable re
sistance they broke, and the Versaillists
gained the barricade. I saw the red
breeches surrounding it as they poured
out of the Rue Obateaudun. Now they
are (i o’clock) firing westward along the
Rne Lafayette icta the Boulevard Hauss
mann, while other Versaillist troops are
pressing down the Boulevard Haussmann,
tiring like furies and covered by a shell
fire falling in their front. Thus the fede
rals in the Haussmann, a mere
handful but very obstinate, are taken
front and rear, and must slide out of the
crux to all appearance by the New Opera,
from the summit of whioh still flies the
red Hag. They are taken in flank, too, for
a fire is pouring down on them by the Rue
Ohaussee d’Antin, from the Church of the
Trinity. Balls are whistling past my win
dow ; a shell has just shattered the lamp
post at the junotion of the Rue Lafayette
with the Boulevard Haussmann. I see
federal after federal sneaking away by the
cover afforded by the Opera Ilonse. Every
minute I expect to see tho Versaillists
come in Sight round the corner, marching
down the Boulevard Haussman.
A CHARGE OF HASH.
2:30 P. si.—Contrary to my anticipation
the Versaillists are not yet round the
corner, that is, they have not got so far
down the Boulevard Hausmaon as the
corner of the Rue Lafayette, ‘where I am
writing, and the red flag still waves from
the top of the New Opera House. The
Versaillists wili not expose themselves.
About twenty-five Federate jare blocking
tbcm with an intermittent fire; they
might rush across the Boulevard and finish
tho affair in five minutes. Instead of this
they arc bursting their way from house to
house, and firing down from tho windows
on the Federate who are fighting with re
markable valor—although a mere handful
—in the street, under cover of projections,
gateways, &c. I see Versaillists on the
fifth story taking potshots down, and do
ing for the most part little good. This
style of fighting on the part of the Ver
saillists leaves the street open for artillery
and mitrailleuse, and neither are spared.
The shells and mitrailleuse are whistling
past the corner where I am ensoonsed in
one continual whistle, and the clash of
broken glass is incessant. For a time it
seemed as if the fighting were confined to
this particular spot. It is hottest here
still, but L hev them at it on the great
boulevard also, and there is musketry fire
also to the eastward. I don’t like my po
sition, but to change it would to all ap
pearand be out of the frying pan into the
fire. There is wonderfully little execution
being done by a fire so heavy. The posi
tion of the Federate as regards this par
ticular spot is desperate beyond a doubt.
The Versaillists held , the Rue Lafayette
to the eastward of this, and there is fight
ing now going on for a barricade across
the neok of the Rue Dronot, which con
nects the Rue de Provence, into which the
Versaillists have penetrated. When they
carry this, the way is open into the great
bouleva r ds at the junction of the Boule
vard Italien ‘ ,ie fcowawd Mont
martre, and thus win be ifirned the Fed
eral position on the boulevards to she
west of the Rue Drouot, whioh will enable
the Versaillists to get dowa to the Made
leine in force, make untenable the Federal
barricade at the end of the Rue Royale,
opening into the Place de la Concorde,
and so open np that important position
and the Champs Elysees right to the
bottom to the Versaillists, -There is heavy
fighting going on in the cross streets behind
me, and between the Boulevard Hauss
raaon and the Church of the Trinity. The
Federate have got a cannon up by the side
of the Opera, in the Rue Halevy, which
is firing on the Trinity, It is impossible
to define the situation. All is chaos, at
least for the moment. What a beautiful
day it is ; such a day as one would like to
be lying on the grass, under a hawthorn
hedge, looking at the young lambs skip
ping about; not oowering in a corner,
dodging shot and shell in this undignified
manner, and without any matches where
with to light one’s pipe.
DRAMATIC SCENES.
5:20. —They were Versaillists that I saw
on the parapet of the New Opera. There
is a cheer; the people rush out into the
fire and clap their hands. The tri-oolor is
waving on the hither end of the Opera
House. I saw them stick it up. The red
flag waves still at the other end. A ladder
is needed to remove it. Ha! you are a
good plucky one, if all the rest were oow
ards. You deserve to give the army a
good name. A little grig cf a Mow in red
breeches, he is one of the old French,
linesman breed. He scuttles forward to
the corner of the Rue Halevy in the Boul
evard Hausmann, takes up his poet behind
a tree, and fires along the Boulevard
Haussmann towards the Rue Taitbout.
W hen is a Frenchnmn not dramatic ? He
fires with an air; he loads with an air ;he
fires again with a flourish, and is greeted
with cheering and dapping of hands
Then he beckons us back dramatically, for
be meditates firing up the Rue Lafayette,
but changes hia mind and blues away
again up Haussmann. Then he turns
and waves on his fellows as if he were on
the boards of a theatre, the Foderal bul
lets cutting the bark and leaves all around
him. He is down. The woman and I
ds.rt out from our corner-and carry bim in.
Fie is dead, with a bullet hole through his
forehead.
The Versaillists (5:45) bring up a mi
traillfease to our corner, and the fire be
comes positively ear-splitting.
The soene is intensely dramatic. A
Versaillists has got a ladder, and is
mounting the statute of Anollo on the
front elevation of the New Opera House-
He tears down the draprau rouge just as
the Versaillists troops stream out of the
Chaussee d’Antin across the Boulevard
Haussmann, and down the Rue Meyer
beer, and the continuation of the Chaus
eee d’Antin. .The people rushed from
their houses with bottles of wine ; money
was showered into the streets, the women
fell on the necks of the sweaty, dusty men
in red breeches, and hugged them amid
shouts of “ Vive la Ligne.” The soldiers
fraternized warmly; drank and pressed
forward. Their discipline was admritble.
They formed in companies behind the next
barricade, and obeyed the officer at once
when he called on them from conviviality.
And now there was time to look abont at
the damage done to the neighborhood.
One end of the Boulevard Haussman is
very handsomely battered indeed, but the
shells not being of large calibre, the dam
age is not very penetrating. Now the
wave of the Versailles is over us for good,
’and the red breeches are across the Great
Boulevard and going at the Place Ven
dome. Everybcdy seems wild with joy,
and Communist card* of citizenship are
being torn up wholesale. It is not “ citoy
en ’’ now coder pain of suspicion ; you
may say monsieur if you like.
THE COMMUNISTS FLANKED.
10 P. m. —Much has been done since the
hour at which I last dated. The Versail
lists soldiers, puriDg down in one continu
ous stream by the Chaussee d’Antin,
horse, foot, aod artillery, crossed the Great
Boulevard, takiog the insurgents in flank,
not without considerable fighting and a
good deal of loss, for the Federals fought
like wild oats wherever they could get the
ghost of a cover. The game became
curiously involved. The Versaillists,
pressing down the Rue de la Paix, were
threatening the Place Vendome, but avoid
were sticking like leeches to their artillery
barricades at the top of the Ruo St.
Honore, in the Rue Royale. They had
the command of the latter beautiful street,
and, although the Versaillists from the
Corps Legislatif blazed into them, they
were able to prevent the garrison of the
Pepiniere Barraaks from making a good
hold on the much-battered Madeleine.
Anxious to ascertain whether there was
aoy prospect of an embassy bag to Ver
sailles, I started up the now quiet Boule
vard Haussmann, and by tacks and dodges
got down into the Rue de Miromeuil,
which debouches in the Faubourg oppo
site the Palace of the Elysee. Shells were
bursting very freely in tho neighborhood,
but the matter was urgent, and I pressed
on up to the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore,
and looked round the corner for a second.
Had I looked a second longer I should not
have been writing these lines. A shell
splinter whizzed past me as I drew back,
close enough to blow my beard aside.
The street was a pneumatic tube for shell
fire. Nothing could have lived in it. I
fell back, thinking I might get over to
the Embassy as the firing died away, and
waited in the entry of an ambulanoe for
aD hour. There were not a few ambu
lances about this spot. I saw, for a quar
ter of an hour, one wounded man carried
into the one I was near every minute, for I
timed the itretohers by my watoh. Look
ing into others I could see the court-yards
littered with mattresses and groaning men,
A tew but not many corpses, chiefly of
National Guards, lay in the streets, be
.hind the barricades and in the gutters.
The fire showed no symptoms of ceasing,
but rather increased in intensity, and so
it seemed to me that it was wanting time.
As I returned to tho Hotel de la Chan
see d’Antic, I had to oross the line of ar
tillery pouring southward from the
Church of Trinity, and so dowo the Rne
Halevy, toward the quarter where the
sound indicated hot fighting was still go
ing on. The artillerymen reoeived a wild
ovation from the inhabitants of the Chaus
see d’Antin. The men gave them money,
the women tendered them bottles of wine.
All was yaudeamus. Where, I wonder,
had the people secreted the tri-color all
these days of the Commune ? It now
waved from every window and flapped in
■ the still nigh, air, as the shouts of “ Vive
la Ligne” gave it a lazy throb. Still, the
work was not nearly done, Stray bullets
whistled everywhere —the women in their
crazy courage had oome to call them spar
roWs—aDd nobody’s life was in his hand
who ventured out of doors. But from the
Rue St. Honore, the Place Veodome, and
the neighborhood of the Palais Royal and
the Hotel de Ville pame a steady, heavy
firing of cannon, mitrailleuse, and musket
ry, mingled oooassionally with what the
timid called explosions of great plaoes,
what the experienoed ear told was the re
sult of a shell jo a tumbril.
THE TUILKRIES ON FIRE.
Wednesday.— And so evening wore into
night, and night became morning. Ah !
this morning 1 Its pale flash of anrora
bloom was darkest, most sombre night for
the once proud, now stricken and humi
liated city. When the sun rose, what
saw he ? Not a fair fight—on that within
the last year Sol has looked down more
than once. But black clouds flouted his
rays—clouds that rose from the Paladium
of France. Great God I that men should
be so mad as to strive to make universal
ruin beoause their puny course of fac
tiousness is run! The flames from the
Palace of tbe Tuileri.es, kindled by dam
nable petroleum, insulted the soft light of
the morning, and cast lurid rays on the
grimy recreant. Frenchmen who sknlked
from their dastardly incendiarism to pot
at countrymen from behind a barricade.
How the place burned! The flames rev
elled in the historical palace, whipped up
the rich furniture, burst out the plate
glass windows, brought down the fantas
tic roof. It was in the Prince Imperial’s
wing, facing the Tuileries Gardens, w here
the demon of fire first had his dismal sway.
By 8 o’clock the whole of this wing was
nearly burnt out. As I reached the end
of,the Rue Dauphine the red belches of
flames were bursting out from the oorner
of the Tuileries facing the private gardens
and the Rne de Rivoli; the rooms occu
pied by the King of Prussia and his suite
on the visit to prance the year of the Ex
hibition. There is a ftfrions jet of flame
pouring out of the window where'Bis
marck used to sit and smoke, Crash I Is
it an explosion or a fall of flooring that
causes this burst of black smoke and
red sparks in our face?? God knows
what hell devices may be within that
burning pile; it were well surely to
give it a wide berth. And so east
ward to the Place du Palais Royal,
which is Still unsafe by reason of shot and
shell from the neighborhood flf the Hotel
de Ville. And there is th 6 great archway
by which troops were wont to enter into
the Place du Carrousel—-is the fire there
yet? Just there, aDd no more; could the
archway be out, the Louvre, with its art*
istie riches, might still be spared. But
there are none to help. The troops are
lounging supine in the rues; intent —and
who shall blame weary, powder-grimmed
men?—on bread and wine. And so the
dtvast? tor leaps from chimney to chimney,
from window to window. He is over the
arohway now, and I would not give two
hours’ purchase for all the riches of the
Louvre, fn the name of modern vandal
ism, what means that burst of smoke and
jet of fire? Alas for arts, the Louvre is
on fire independently. And so is the Pa
lais Royal and the Hotel de yille, where
the Rump of the Commune arc powering
amidst their incendiarism ; and the Minis
try of Finance and many another public
buildiog besides, of which more anon. No
wonder that Ocarbet, toi-duaiti Minister
of Fine Arts, should have sect far aDd
wide, among friends, foreign native, to
find a place wherein to hide his head,
Minister of Fine Arts 1 Fide art, truly,
to burn the Louvre and its treasures. Are
the dark ages descending upon us again ?
The ages of the Goths aod Visigoths, of
the Vandals and the Huns? The acts of
last night were worse than suicide. The
injury of suicide is local and person*!; the
injury done by the burning of tin Louvre
is universal and world-wide.
COMMUNIST HUNTING.
I tjirn from the spectacle sad and sick,
to be sickened yet further by another
spectacle. The Versaillist troops collect
ed about the foot of the Rue St. HoDore,
were enjoying the fine game of Communist
hunting. The Parisians of civil life
are caitiffs to the last drop of their
thiD, sour, white blood. Bnt yes
terday they had cried “ Vive la
Commune 1” and submitted to be gov
erned by this said Commue, . To-day they
rubbed their hands with livid, currish joy
to have it in their .power to denounce a
Communist and reveal his hidding place.
Very eager at this work are the dear
creatures of women. They know the rat
roles into which the poor devils have got,
and they guide to them with a fiendish
glee which is a phase of the many-sided
sex. Voila! the braves of Franoe re
turned to a triumph after a shameful
captivity! They have found hun, the
miserable ! Yes, they drag him outfrom
one of the purlieus whioh Haussman h
not time to sweep away, and a
six of them hem him round as they
him into the Rue St. Honor*. A tall,
pale, hatless man, wita something
ignoble in his carriage. His tower P
trembling, bnt his brow is ’
and the eye of him. has some
pride and defiance in it. They y
—the crowd—“ Shoot him; shoot
him I”—tho demon-women most clamor
ous, of course. An arm goes into the air ,
there are on it the stripes of a non-com
missioned offioer, and there ia a *tiok in
. the fist. The stick fills on the head of the
pale man in blac. Ha ! the infection j
has caught; me - club their rifles and
bring them dowoon that head, or clash,
them irto splintts in their lust for mur
der. He ia down he is up again ; he is
down again; thethud of the gun-stocks
on him sounding yet as the sound when
a man brats a cubits with a stick. A
oertaia British mpilse, stronger than
consideration for elf prompts me to run
forward. But it is useless. They are
firing into the flaVidcarcase now, throng
ing about it like blot-flies on a piece of
meat. _ His brains sure on mv boot and
plash into the gntter whither the carrion
is bodily chucked, pesently to be trodden
on and rolled on by te feet of multitudes
and wheels of gun carriages. Woman
hoed, then, is notquie dead in that band
of Bedlamites who bd clamored, “Shoot
him.” Here is one iihysteric* ; another,
with wan, scared faoc draws out of the
press an embroyo bedlamite, her off
spring, and, let us hoe, goes home. But
surely all manhood isiead in the soldiery
of France to do a deei like this. An offi
oer —one with a bull faroat and the eyes
of Algiers -stood b; and looked at the
sport, sucking a sega: meanwhile. Parti
cons criminis surely vas he if there is such
a word as d’seipline h the French ranks ;
if there is not, am I question whether
there be, he might have been pitied if
be had not smiled his smug-faced ap
proval.
The merry game g>es on. Denouncing
becomes fashionable and denouncing is
followed in the French natural sequence
by braining. Faugi! let *us get away
from the truculent ctwards and the bloody
gutters, and the yeling women and the
Algerian-eyed officen. Here is the Place
Vendome, held, as Hearn on credible au
thority, by twenty-five Communists and a
woman against all tlat Versailles found it
in its heart to do for hours. In the shat
tered Central Place Versaillist sentries are
stalking about the mins of the columns.
They have accumula.ed, too, some forces
in the rat-trap. Tiere is one corpse in
the gutter buffeted and besmirched—the
oorpse, as I learn, of the Communist cap
tain of a barricade, who held it for half
an hour single-handed against the braves
of Frapce, and then shot himself. The
braves have, seemingly, made'sure of him
by shooting him and the clay, which was
onqa a man, over c^3ei t h'at oi\»d
Hecate, who fought on the Rue de la Paix
barricade with such persistance and fury.
They might have shot her ; yes, when a
woman takes to war, she forgets her im
munities ; but they might, at least, have
pulled her scanty rags over the bare limbs
that outrage decency, if the word be not
an exotic in Paris.
• STREETS ON FIRE,
And now, here is the Ruo Royale, burn
ing right royally. Alas 1 for the lovers of
a draught of pure English beer, the Eng
lish beer-house is a ohaotio ruin, diversi
fied with jets of fire. The same applies
to the whole side of the Rue between the
Place de la Madeleine and the Rue du
Faubourg St. Honore. The other side ot
the way is nearly as bad, and the fire has
been down the Rue St. Honore, up the
Faubourg, and working its swift, hot will
iu the Rue Boisßy. In all the Rue Fau
bourg St. Honore the gutters are luil of
blood. There is a barricade at every street
corner. There will be an item in the
estimates next year for the smash in the
British Embassy, which is very severe.
Tbe ball-room is not now quite in a state
to take the chalk. Tbe gardeb walls are
pieroed, for via them the Versaillists
worked their strategic progress round the
barricades, respecting much the wholeness
of their skins.
And how about the chained wild-cats
ip the Hotel de Ville? Their baoks are to
the wall and they are fighting now, not
for life, but that they may do as much
evil as they can before their hour comes—
as come it will before tbe minute hand
of my watoh makes many more revolu
tions. The Versaillists do not dare to
rush at the barricades around the Hotel
de Ville; they are »t onoe afraid of tbeir
skins and explosions. But they are mi
ning, circumventing, burrowing, and they
will be inside the cordon soon. Mean
while the holders ot the Hotel de Ville
are pouring out de&th and destruction over
Paris in miscellaneous wildness. Now it
is a shell in the Champs Ely sees ; now one
in the already shattered Boulevard Hauss
mann ; now one somowhero about the
Avenue Reine Hortense. And although
they are out off from the Garde du Nore
and LaChapelle, the Reds still cling to a
barricade in tho Rue Lafayette, near the
square Montholon. And for these the
way of retreat is open backwards into
Belleville. Canny folks these Versaillists !
The Prussians would, no doubt, let them
into Belleville from the rear, as they let
them into LaChapelle; but Belleville, iroDt
or rear, is not pleasant unto the discreet
hearts of the Versaillists. So there may
be fighting about there for days yet, till
the last Bed is exterminated. It is be
tween the devil and the deep sea with the
poople in the Hotel de Ville. One enemy
with weapons in bis hand is outside; an
other, fire, and the fire kindled by them
selves, is inside. Will they roast, or seek
death on the bayonet point ?

Narrow Guaee Hoads and Cheap
Transportation,
Atlanta, Ga., Jane 7,1871.
Henry Moore, Etg. :
Dear Sir— Yours of the sth received.
The gauge question is attracting much
attention and discussioo, and is one in
which the South is deeply interested.
The practical workings of the Narrow
Gauge, wherever adopted, has demonstra
ted its superiority over that of the Broad
Gauge for all ordinary demands, furnish
ing what the South wants and must have
—low rates of freight.
Their capacity is fully equal to the
Broad Gauge, while their cost is only
about one-half, and operating expenses
much less.
It is time we had quit building rail
ways with a capacity from five hundred to
one tbhsand per cent, greater than our
present business demands, and take to
building Common sense railways, adapted
to our wants and within our means.
The tendency of our railways is to a con
solidation, tjie practical of which is
to mako oiir interior pities mere way
stations, resulting iu discriminations
agaiost them destructive to their commer
cial interests.
The most effectual remedy for these
evils is the Narrow Gauge, with its small
cost and light operating expenses, thereby
providing for the great want of the South
* —cheap transportation, ’fhe South pays
the highest rates of transportation of any
civilized people in the world, while their
wants demand the lowest.
With but one partially developed inter
est—that of agriculture—a sparse popula
tion, and with railways costing from
twenty to thirty thousand dollars per mile,
with a capacity to do the entire business
of the year in’one or two months,com
pelled as they are to pay operating ex
penses, the intersest on their bonds, and
provide" a sinking fund, or pay dividends as
the case may be, it is simply impossible for
them to furnish cheap transportation;
hence it is that our ooal and iron remains
locked np in our hills and mountains, and
there they mast remain until cheaper
transportation is provided. The Southern
manufacturer, with high rates for coal
and iron, and exorbitant rates for tfie
transportation of his manufactured goods,
cannot possibly compete with the North
ern manufacturer with cheap coal and
iron and low rates of transportation.
The remedy is cheap transportation.
The Broad Gauge cannot furnish it, the
Narrow Gauge can and will. Shall we
adopt it? Respectfully, yours, E.
A Frightful Cyclone.
Most Wonderful Phenomenon— Graphic
Description of a Powerful Cyclone —
Every Blade of Grass on its Course
Dried to a Crisp—Narrow Escape of a
bopulous Village.
Chicago, June 5.—A cyclone occurred
near Mason City, Illinois, last Friday
morning. In Kentucky a lurid cloud or
smoke like column was observed gather
ing near the earth’s surface on an open
prairie, six miles from that place, and
from this column soon shot out three nar
rower and spire like cloud columns,which
continued to ascend rapidly till they reach
ed and seemed to attach themselves close
ly to a passing cloud above. This fright
fal apparition moved slowly towards
Mason City, bnt finally changed its course,
much to the relief of the people of that
place.
An odor very much like burning sulphur
was inhaled by several personals who stood
but one hundred yards from the cyclone
when it passed. Some small flashes o.
electricity were constantly visible in
storm oolumn, passing from the south to
the cloud aboye, and rapid, popping, crack
ing reports were heard, reminding one
most forcibly of an infantry regiment in
battle firing their muskets as fast as possi
ble. The pathway of the cyolone was
near three miles in length and from twenty
to eighty feet in width, and in that path
way not a spear of grass, not a stalk of
oorn or wheat, not a shrub, not a particle
of vegetation was left alive,' For some
distune the earth was literally plowed ud
to a depth of six inches. The column of
whirling air must have been intensely hot,
as every green thing in its pathway was
literally dried to a crisp.
Another feature of the cyclone was that
while its rotatory motion must have been
of an inconceivably great velocity, its pro
gressive motion was not above the rate
of six miles an hour. The outlines of its
pathway are so well defined that five feet
from the outer line of the total
of vegetable of every kind, not a vestage
of its effects oould he seen. Fortunately
no house stood in the tornado’s line of
march.
NEW ORLEANS.
THE GREAT FLOOD.
IMMENSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
[#Vot« the Picayune, of Sunday.]
The evil so gravely apprehended for
several days past is at length upon us.
The new canal in the vicinity of Hagan
avenue has given way. and that part of
the city is being rapidly 1 flooded. The
breach in the embankment is about 25
feet wide, and the water is rushing
through it to the depth of 6 or t> feet.
When the reporter reached the scene of
disaster the water had spread over a space
of about a dozen blocks, and was rising
last. A number of houses were already
surrounded. Some were moving their
families out, while others were making
preparations to remain where they were.
Everywhere distress and confusion pre
vailed, and the scene resembled in many
respects that which three years ago
brought such disaster to the residents back
of town.
The lake is exceedingly rough, and the
wind is blowing strongly in the direction
of the city. Several weak points in the
various' canals will inevitably give way if
the pressure is continued on them. These
that appear in the greatest danger are the
Galvez and Orleans street canals. In one
or two places the water is already running
over, but the danger to be apprehended is
in the banks giving way. Indeed, there
are grave apprehensions to be indulged ot
a disaster more serious than at any former
period. The great danger at present is at
the juncture ot Carondelet Can|il and
Bayou St. John. The water is within a
few inches of the top at this place, and
the banks in a, weakened and unsafe con
dition; besides, the water is rising rapidly,
and the pressure from the lake greater
than will be readily conceived. Another
point where reason for alann is manifest,
is at the juncture of Broad street and
Marigny Avenue. This has been a serious
cause of apprehension for years, as also at
the crossing of St. Bernard Avenue and
Broad street.
About 9 o’clock the water commenced
rising at Mioeburg, and at the present
moment the little town is almost com
pletely flooded. There is perhaps twenty
and wide, and the lower part of Claiborne
street is completely submerged. In fact,
that part of the city described bv the
square bounded by Bienville and Broad
streets, and in many places this side of it,
is partially inundated.
The amount of’ property destroyed, and
the individual suffering that will result
from it, is incalculable. Those of the
population who have neglected to move
away before the rise set in will probably
suffer for food, but accidents of a grave
nature are of almost inevitable occurrence.
MaDy families bordering the new canal
and that part of the city punning back
from it towards Claiborne street are neces
sarily in tho greatest danger. The depth
of tho water at this point not ooly en
dangers the lives of tho inhabitants, but
the light frame buildings may be swept
away. In any, event they must suffer
greatly before assistance can rea"h them.
The Shell Road from the Half-Way
House to the Lake Ead has been under
water since yesterday evening ; but it was
reported that the lake at Further Point,
rising very fast, would, in all probability,
completely submerge all of tho buildings
located at the Lake End.
As night closed in the water was ad
vancing in every dirc-etiou. It had risen
some two feet on Canal btrcct, and had
reached nearly to Claiborne street. The
oars on that thoroughfare have necessarily
stopped, as on Cla’borne street beyond the
bridge. At this point (the crossing ot the
Orleans Canal) the water had broken
over the banks on the Toullouse side of
the street, and a serious inundation was
threatened momentarily. At 7 o’clock in
the evening the water stood four teet on
Hogan Avenue at the original break in
the New Canal. The City Park cars
were unable to run all day. Thoir track,
bordering the canal, is from five to six feet
UDder water.
It appears that all exertions to stop the
breaks are unavailing. The dredge boat
was brought into requisite and proved
useless. A quantity of lumber was sent
out by the City Railroad to be used in
damming, but it proved unavailing.
Already a large quantity of property
has beon sacrificed and infinite distress
has been occasioned to the families re
siding back of town. Nor is the danger
yet over ; nor indeed resched its climax.
Should the wind continue to blow tfom
its present direction, before we go to press
nearly all that part of town back of Clai
borne street will be completely flooded.
Indeed, it is nearly so now. The area of
the flooded district is even greater than
three years ago. At night, from Broad
street out, the water stood over three feet
deep. Some families undertook to reach
a place of safety by wading. Women
were struggling in the water waist deep,
while men were pngaged in constructing
temporary rafts with which to move away
their good?. It was understood that some
of the smaller police boats from the river
would be taken out to render assistance.
A number of them in the canals were al
ready brought into requisition, but the
facilities thus supplied were wholly inad
equate to tho demand made upon them.
After visiting the inundated district we
came to the conclusion that none of the
canah will bear tho pressure brought up
on them. There is not one from which
the water is not escaping, and at 8 o’clock
the upper part of the city, that is, that
part of the rear portion ol it drained by
the New Basin and the New Canal, was in
serious jeopardy. ' They may possibly
escape if the present strong wind abates,
but this, at the present writing, is not
likely.
Some two hundred men are alrosdy at
work, but these will not be able to make
a show of resistance to tho flood. It will
require ten times that many, and the full
strength of the draining machines. The
authorities appear to ho aware of the
fact, and aro straining every rerve in its
accomplishment.
[From (he Times, of Sunday.]
At a lato hour last night, we learned
that the Rontchartrain Railroad is a foot
and half under water, from the Gentilly
Road, and that the flood is still rising.
The passengers and the United States
mail, dispatched yesterday by the Jack
son Railroad, were compelled to return,
and all traffic on the Chattanooga Rail
road has also stopped. The entire city in
rear of Johnson street is under water, and
the height of the flood has greatly in
creased since i‘4 o’clock Saturday,
Our reporter, at 5 P. M , took a drive to
tho Half Way House bridgp. All the coun
try on both sidles of the canal street Hack
is inundated, up to the cemeteries, which
are free from water, exsept Greenwood
and Cypress Grove No. 2, where there are
large pools of rain water.
The Half-Way House bridge was five i
feet over the low-water mark, and not to
be reached by vehicles. It had to be
openetj constantly to lgt Jarge pieces of
timber pass, tho watchman tearing that
these large timbers would destroy the
bridge.
The cars on Canal street kept running
up to 6 or hall-past 6 o’clock, when the
water had reached Prieur street.
At half-past 6 o’clock Capt. lie? tele
graphed to the Superintendent of Police
that the Old Basin was running over at
Marais street bridge. The water was then
five inches higher than at noon.
Capt. Rapp, of' the Fifth District, tele
graphed at half-past 0 p. m. that the
Lake Pontcbartrain water is up as high
as Gentilly Road, fifteen inches deep.
There is two feet and a half in the village
of DJilnuburg.
Butler’s Canal, in the rear of the Third
District, is also oveifiowicg its banks from
the lake water. The inhabitants residing
along the above places are making prepara
tions to remove tbcir effects. Thus far no
serious damage has been done.
The Administrator of Improvements
was informed about 8 o’clock that a break
had been made ip the Old basin, at the
corner of Marais street and Carondelet
Walk. Men will be there at daybreak,
and those now at Hagan Avenue Canal
and the {Jow Basin, aio hopeful to stop
the break by to-day at neon. Sand bags
and timber have been furnished in plenty
by the department.
Officer Pettaway says at 10 p. m. the
women were crying for fear thoir children
would be downed.
The water on Common street is past the
ear station. The cars stopped at about
half-past ten o’clock.
The Chattar ooga train, which left yester
day, had to return.
[FVowi the Picayune , of Tuesday.]
We are now almost realizing the spec
tacle of a submerged city. By far more 1
than one-half of the town is under water, j
and the rising waters, with a stealthy, cat '
like advance, are coming in every direc- j
tioD. Citizens are flying from their homes, j
and thousands of families are to-day !
shelterless and without food. From Ram- .
part street to the woods, from Julia street j
to the lake, a scarcely uninterrupted flood
extends. The canals, from whose afluent !
waters came the first menacing peril, have
themselves disappeared in the lake-like :
street that spreads in every direction. The i
strong wind from the lake still brings fresh '
material to swell the rising tide, and prop
erty and life are alike being sacrificed to
the treacherous and subtle element.
ginee 7 o’clock Sunday evening the
water has risen .at the rate of twelve
inches in twelve hours. It now floods
Canal street to Dryades street, and on
Common street the water extends to Ram
part. In the angle ot the city formed by
the Old Basin, Claiborne street and Ely
sian Fields street, there is but little water;
only such, indeed, as arise from overflowed
sewers. But between Elysian Fields street
and Lafayette Avenue, and far beyond
Florida Walk, the flood eztende umuter.
ruptedly to a vast lake—a miniature sea.
Nor does it stop here, but hovers all the
vast area below Canal street from Bayou
St. .Jilin to Jourdan Avenue, and from;
Hagan Avenue, up Poydras, to Rampart
street. Nearly every homestead in this,
wide extent is surrounded by water.
Many families have left; but others still
remain confined to their houses, and suf
fering for food. It is true the charitably
disposed and the authorities are putting
forth every exertion to minister to their
necessities ; but their facilities for trans
porting food are few, and many’ must suf
fer the greatest extremity before assistance
can reach them.
It was reported yesterday evening that
the water was slowly receding at Mdne
burg ; but this does not appear possible,
in view of the fact that it is rising else
where. The same volume of water that
passes over the rear of the city would con
tribute equally to a rise at the Lake End.
All of the street cars beyond Rampart
street Lave stopped. The travel on this
thoroughfare, however, will scarcely be
affected, unless, indeed, it be those cars
which ruD out Esplanade street. The ad
vance iu this direction, of course, is not to
be thought of-
In brief, this is the present conditfon of
the flood. It is hardly probable that it
can remain so long, and by tho time this
is in print the reflux may have set in.
Toward noon there was an evident
abatement in the rise, and towards night
fall the waters began receding. Never
theless, it was very slowly. Among the
noticeable incidents connected with the
flood are the exorbitant charges made by
boatmen for removing persons aud fami
lies. Absolutely dependent upon their
kind offices, tho poor people have to sub
mit to any extortion they may choose to
exact. Would it not be as well for the
Superintendent to detail police to pro- 1
vent this -ort of transactions. Robbories
in the flooded distriot aro numerous, and
nearly every hour some complaint is made
of these wietches who prey upon the
unfortunate and those in distress.
It is to bo hoped, however, that, iu a
few days the flood will haw entirely sub
sided. In the meantime efforts to assist
those in affliotion should be redoubled.
| From the Times, of Tuesday. ]
From 5 o’clock yesterday morniDg the
eight inches, and the gutters on Canal
street are overflowed as far as Dryadas
street. Both Basin and Rampart streets
are partially covered, but the houses are
not invaded on this side of Marais street.
The moving of families from the sub
merged district still oontinues, and boats
are constantly arriving at all points along
tho water line in the First and Second
Distriot;. The break at Hagan avenue,
we hear, was discovered at an early hour
on Saturday morning, aod numbers of
persons had ample time to lay in a supply
of provisions before they were overtaken
by the water. We hear of a frightful ac
cident which befell an unfortunate gentle

LONG BRANCH—INTERVIEW WITH GRANT.
New York, June C.— The New York
Herald’s Long Branch correspondent says:
General Grant, in an interview, stated that
Bancroft, Minister to Berlin, desired to
resign and go. to Italy to live, but as he
is well posted on the San Juan question,
to relieve him now would be injudicious.
Before October arrived tho troaty would
be fixed all right, and as Bancroft has
asked to be allowed to resign then he can
do so without injury to our interests.
In speaking of Gen. Sherman iu cid
uection with tho Presidency, Grant said he
and Sherman were warm friends. lie
was not authorized to speak for him, but
ho was pretty certain that Gan- Sherman
would not sfand on tho Demoorafio plat
form. Gen. Sherman is no Democrat and
never was.
The President is satisfied witn Boutwell
and his policy, and saw no necessity for
a change.
He further stated (hat ho knew b.it lit
tle concerning the disaereeameut between
Fish and the Russian Minister, but sup
poses the affair very trifliDg. When re
ported to him he will be able to say what
to do if it should he worth while doing
any thing. Our relations with Russia are
very oordial, and it would take a groat
deal to disturb them.
The President had nothing to do with j
tho appointment of' Brigham son
to West Point, Tho appoihtmcut was
made hy the Otab delegatior. If he had
known tho delegate’s mtention ho would
have asked the Attorney General it he
had power to prevent the appointment.
If he answered affirmatively, ho would
have settled the matter right away.
Tho President said he sene the appoint
ment of Toon. Francis Meagher’s son to
the War Office and it was returned with
the endorsement that the appointment
had been made by a New York member
of Congress.

THE RAILROAD SHARKS.
Bt. Louis, June 6. —The Times , this
morning, states that the Missouri Railroad
is about to pass into the hands of anew
ownership, with M. K. W. Jessup, of New
York, at the head. The plan is to bid the
road off at the saio to take place in Au
gust, under the second mortgage, and thus
wipe out the third mortgage, the eight
million of stock and the floating debt,
which amounts to two or three millions
more. If the scheme works, the Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas Association, which
is the name of the proposed new organi
zation, will purchase a road worth $20,-
000,000, and capable of paying a dividend
upon that sum of seven or eight millions,
or a little more than a third of its real
value.
