Last Thursday, four negroes in two
kliffs, went up Willow Bayou from
Vicksburg, after loads of wood. Two
of them finished loading a little before
the others and got off to return to town
by 6 o'clock in the evening, leaving the
others, Paris Speed and McCullough, to
follow, as they thought, shortly after.
From that time until yesterday morning
nothing had been seen or heard of
speed and McCullough. It will be re
membered that a heavy storm came on
that night, and the waves must have
been fearfully high on the lake. The
two negroes who got home safe say that
they were almost numbed by wet and
cold, although they did not experience
the worst of the storm. They hallooed in
the darkness for their belated comrades
and heard no answer, but wont to their
homes without any misgivings. The
protracted absence of Speed and McCul
lough caused their relatives and friends
to make a search for them, and yester
day forenoon the skiff, full of water,
was found in the lake, near the mouth
of the bayou the load of wood floating
around and Speed's dead body lying in
the skil, oold and rigid. The skiff with
its ghutly passenger was towed down

TII. OPPOsrTION.
Its Strength and Weakness.
[Philadelphia Times. I
It Is manifest now that the war is to
be carried into Congress, and that the
leaders who have arrayed themselves
against the Administration mean to
make it surrender or Tylerize it. At
first blush the organization of the op
position looks formidable; but the
dispassionate observer of public move
ments cannot fail to see that there is no
analogy between the present position
of Hayes and the positions of Tyler,
Fllmore and Johnson when they were
made apostates. President Hayes
is acting in obedience to his pledges
to the country when he accept
ed the candidacy of his party, and in
obedience to his uniform utterances on
the disturbing issue in his public
speeches and int his inaugural address,
while the apostate accidental presidents
of the past were faithless to their par
ties, to their pledges, and to the national
verdicts by which they were chosen.
Hayes is, therefore, intrenched within
the Republican citadel; holds it
by fidelity to his integrity, and
the shafts of factious leaders will fall
harmless at his feet. He is supported
by the better men of all parties; by the
whole business interests; by every in
spiration of patriotism, and by every
prayer for prosperity and peace. The
struggle will be bitter, but the issue
cannot be doubtful unless the President
shall wreck himself by weakness that
would be worse than crime."

The Reunion party is the name of it.

By one wise act Gov. Chamberlain has
placed the whole country in his debt.
Senator Patterson is the most
"amoosin little cuss" that the Southern

The South Carolina Senator who tried

A singular fact about the coneost for
the Spoatkership is that the Republican
party has but two candidates, and both
of them are from the same State.
Patterson ought to establ ish a political
weather bureau, to advise him of the
probabilities for at least twenty-four
hours in advanoe, so that he could stay
flopped for a day or so together.
If about half a gross of candidates

invitation to a quiet little dynamite
party the situation In New Orleans
would be suddenly simplified.
If Mr. Plnchback succeeds in "tiking

TllEg OAL COOMPANIES.
The Result of the Panlc-A Reward of
$15,@00 Offered for the Discovery of
the erlilnator of the Falls Rumors
T'hat Caused the Panic.
[N. Y. Tribune, April 13.]
All that remained of the coal stock
panic yesterday was a deep-seated feel
g of indignation at the originators of
the false rumors that had precipitated
the trouble of the day before. At an
early hour Vice President Olyphant, of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany, made his appearance on the
street, with a countenance ominous of
evil, and when it was learned that he
was in close consultation with John B.
Norris, chairman of the Law Commit
tee of the Stock Exchange, con
sternation spread among those who
had spoken disparagingly of the
coal stocks on Wednesday. One
report was that Mr. Olyphant was gath
ering a list of brokers and others who
had expressed opinions derogatory to
his company, and several who had
made bets on the probability of a re
ceiver called at the coal building and
apologized saying that they had no in
tention of doing anything wrong.
It was reported that Mr. Olyphant
was collecting evidence to be used in
the criminal prosecution of a gentleman
who was formerly one of the most
prominent brokers in the Exchange,
but who latterly has been engaged
in an outside speculative business
on his own account, and finally
all surmises concentrated on this
person and on two firms who are known
to be acting for him. It was members
of these firms who began the onslaught
upon the Delaware and Hudson stock
on Wednesday, and while the excite
ment lasted they are estimated to have
got rid of between 5000 and 8000 shares.
t was said that the profits paid in to
them yesterday aggregated $100000.
They were accused ofconflrming, if not
of originating, the report about the al
det f th~a Miebmai that -they had
the desk of one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court,
It was generally believed that the
rumors were the result of a deliberately
concocted conspiracy, although it was
doubted whether that fact could be
proved, and, if proved, whether the law
passed by the Legislature on the sub
ject at the request of the Stock Ex
change could be enforced.
At 3 o'clock a special meeting of the
Governing Committee of the Stock Ex
change was convened, and pr. Norris
brought the matter before it.
It was agreed that the Exchange and
the two coal companies should become
jointly responsible for the payment of
a reward of $15,000 for the conviction
and punishment of the guilty parties
who had started the rumor that precipi
tated the panic. It was also reported
that the Delaware and Hudson Com
pany had instructed their counsel to
commence an action against the Tri
bcne for saying that the papers in the
matter of an appileation for a receiver
had been prepared, and the offioers
were only waiting until they could get
sufficiently short of the stock to make
them public.
Notwithstanding all this, however
some persons were in nowise deterred
from making fresh attempts upon the
market by means of lying reports.
During the afternoon Rock Island Rail
road stock was determinedly attacked
through a report that gained wide cir
culation that the company was endeav
oring in vain to hypothecate a large
quantity of securities. This was pro
nounced, at the office of the company,
to be an unmitigated falsehood. For
tunately, the experience of the day be
fore had not been forgotten, and bro
kers were sensible enough to make in
quiries before throwing their stock
away.
In good old times importations of I'iper-Heid
seick one year reached 63.000 baskets.
