Sonalbsonbitlc (1bief. {t ch The Stage-Driver's Ntory. in iT BRET IIARTE. hr *t was the stage-driver's story, as tie [tood with his hack to th yhwhlele's, .uictly fl-eking his whip, and turning his M uiid of tonbacco; th .'i ile on the dusty road, and lblent with the a-vs of the nmoonlight, d\ie ,aw the lash of his whip and the juice of ill tobacco descending. re it Danger sir, I believe you-indeed, I may say on that sutbject, o:u your existence might put to the hazardt antd turn of a wager, have seen danger, Oh. no ! not me. sir, in- aU deed, I assure vou; ;erchanee 'twas 'the man with the dog that ati is sitting alote ill you wagon. t was the Geiger Grade, a mile and a half from the sunutmit: k Ilack as your hat was the night, and never a star in the heavens, Thiundering down the grade, the gravel and h stones we sent flying at liver the precipicec side-a thousand feet plumb to the bottom. Sa thalf-way down the grade 1 felt, sir, a thrill- M ing and creaking, Then a lirch to one side, as we hlng on the 11 tank iof the ravine, re Then, looking up the road, I saw, in the dis- C tance thin-d le, The off hind-wheel of the coach just loosed at from its axle, and following. re One glance above I gave, then gathered to- it gether toy ribbons, Shtuated, and flung them. outspread, on the straining necks of my cattle: Screamed at the top of my voice, and lashed the air in my frenzy, While down nthe Geiger Grade, on three wheels, the vehicle thundered. ;peed was our only chance, when again came iI the ominous rattle: 1it C('rack, and another wheel slipped away, and et was lost in the darkness. t1 Two only now were left; yet such was our fearful momentum. c Upright, erect, and sustained on two wheels, it the vehicle thudlered. 1i iis As some huge boulder, unloosed from its tl rocky shelf on the mountain, Drives before it the hare, and the timorous 81 squirrel, far leaping, tl So lown the Geiger Grade rushed the pin- ti neer coach, and before it Leaped the wild horses, and shrieked in ad vance of the danger impending. But to be brief in my tale. Again, ere we cane to the level, Slipped from its axle a wheel, so that, to be L plain in my statement, A mntter of twelve hundred yards or more. as the distance may be, S We traveled upon one wheel, until we drove up to the station. 'hen, sir, we sank in a heap; linut picking 1; myself friont the ruins, a I heard a noise up the grade, and, looking, I h saw in the distance The three wheels following still, like moons c on the horizon whirling, n 'Till, circling, they gracefully sank on the road at the side of the station. This is my story, sir; a trifle, indeed, I as sure you. It 31uch more, perchance, might he said; buat I hold hitn. of all men. moost lightly SWho swerves from the truth in his tale-No, thank you-Well, since yon are pressing, P'erhaps I don't care if I do; you may give v me the same, Jim-no sugar." i . I. . Torpedo Explosion. We copy the following account of al terrible accident in New Orleans from the Semi- Weekly Louisianian, of Octo her 2nd : Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, on Thursday morning last, the denizens in the vicinity of the ( French market were startled out of i all propriety by a sudden and tremen dous detonation. On crowding to the spot a tragical scene displayed itself. '[There lay scattered around a large 1 quantity of sawvdust, scraps of paste- I board and paper, fragments of board, i the remnants of a shattered dray, a hurt mule, several wounded men, and the mutilated, half naked corpse of ai dead drayman; while near by stood a dray with a number of cases of SImerchandise." A brief examination and inquiry revealed the facts that: the demolished dray was loaded with twenty cases of the " Patent Celebrated Union Tor pedoes," which had been taken from the Ship George Hulburt, and were being conveyed to some warehouse in the city; when on nearing Madison street, on old Levee street, the dray came in collision with a street car, and the coe'cussion produced an im mediate a . terrific explosion. In addidoL to the particulars first mentioned, it wis found that two saloons suffered considerable damage; windo'ws and glass doors, and a quan tity of bottes were smashed to pieces, and a lot of plastering broken from the walls; the losses are estimated at about $500. The unfortunate driver's name who was killed was Jim Conners. He was instantly killed, having one of his legs torn off and hurled two squares through the air, over the tops of houses, and deposited in Jackson square; two ribs and several other bones broken, his skull fractured, and every tooth knocked out. The explo sion doubtless started from the rear of the dray and sent its fury forward, enveloping and killing Conners in its furious flight. Neither the driver or any of the passengers in the street car suffered any damage; tlie iron front to the car resisting the rush of the material. The driver of another dray, also loaded with twenty-one cases of the same articles, and immediately in front of the exploding dray, one Jaque Coulogne, re&ived a severe cut in the head, but to the present time we do not learn that danger to his life is apprehended. The other wounded, we learn, are all recovering. Public attention was not long since called to the importation of torpedoes when, a clerk in one of our city stores was instantly killed by the explosion of a box of torpedoes; and the City Council adopted a measure which was believed would save the public from the dangers incident to the handling of such material. It was, therefore, but natural, that as soon as the last disaster occurred, the Polite Depart ment, the City Administrators, and, indeed, the whole city should be so roused as to ascertain under what I circuifistanees these " cases of ner- I chandise " were found in our midst. ' Coroner Jackson instituted a search- ( ing inquiry and ascertained that three t hundred cases of torpedoes were shipped ]by the, house of Klueber & I Goldschmidt, New York, to Morris i Mi C.Graw, of this city. who intended t them for .ale, but hearing of a reicent explosion in New York, he informed the house that lie would not t receive the article. Hie admitted, t however, that if lie had not heard of the explosion lie would have received them. In consequence of this refusal, Mr. Goldsctnnidt came from New York and made arrangements to have them stored, and they were being landed and so disposed of when the explo sion took palce. f The captain of the ship, on his part, knew he was taking torpedoes, buti was assured that they were perfectly harnmless. were lawfuil merchandise, and were regularly shipped to New Orleans by almost every steamer and sailing vessel. The inquest is not yet concluded. In the ineantimie, the City Council chave interposed, and ordered the return to the levee of the twenty-one cases which were on one of the drays, i and stopped the whole lot t1'rou removal from the landing. There is every probability that they will be " consigned " to the bottom of the SMiississippi river, where they won't hurt if they do explode. We hope the lesson taught our dealers in such dangerous material e will not be lost on them. 'That if they will have handled these glycer ine preparations, they will warn their unfortunate employes of the risk of I concussions, that they will not conceal 1 the deadly character of these " mer chandises" and delude poor workmen , into careless moving about and tumb ling of highly explosive and deadly missiles. If they will not, we hope that the city authorities will adopt a such stringent regulations as will, to the greatest extent possible, secure - the community from the recurrence of such terrible disasters. .. ...._ _ Sensation in Springfield, III. it ti LAtRG(E GANi( OF BURGLARS ARIIRESTED. r. We copy as follows from the a I Springfield Adcertiser, of the 17th : The rei.gn of telTor is over. The citizens of Springfield who, for the o last five or six years, have not rested . a single night securely in their beds, have at last been relieved of this t constant dread. Houses entered a night after night, servant girls c choked in their beds, belated travel- v ers assaulted and robbed in our streets, pistol shlots penetrating dwel- a lings, have combined to make Spring- t field shunned by all who desired a secure and peaceful home. Bolts and locks have proved insecure, private watchmen were worthless, and our insufficient .police force of no avail. Public meetings of outraged citizens, where fierce and denunciatory resoln- f tions were passed and taxes voted to procure a police force, are events t which were called forth by the mid- t night plunderings of a band of des- l lperadoes who were regardless of life, and would cut a throat with the utmost sang 'froid. The newspapers 1 have hurled invectives against the Council, and have published petitions from injured parties. It was all of no avail. Mayor J. J. Hanna, when elected to the office, was aware of its respon bilities. The burglars were holding i forth in high carnival.. He deter mnined from the beginning to break up the gang. He therefore appealed early to the ('ouncil for help, and in its secret session laid his plans before the Council. He proposed, if the Council would sustain him in a finan cial way, to break up the organized gang, and relieve the citizens from their terror. The Mayor felt assured that the burglars who operated so successfully and in each case evaded detection, had a thorough system upon which they acted. He believed further, that the members of this gang were citizens of this place. The streets were often infested with young men who, with no visible means of support, yet appeared to have lgenty of money and lived at their ease. A nlon, was selected who became intimately acquainted with the plans of the burglars, who met then when they prepared for their midnight excursions. He ilformed himself of their plans and purposes, and gave them, as fast as obtained, to Mayor Hamna, who detailed special policeman Bruner to watch them. The burglars, when they entered into a house, little knew that ai man in a big overcoat, underneath which was concealed a blue uniform, watched all their move ments, saw themn enter, waited until they secured their plunder, and then saw them depart. Their names were in his possession. For several months this faithful policeman kept watch upon their movements, followed them like a shadow from place to place, haunted thetn day and night, until cases were made upon twenty of the gang. Some of these were not impli cated as burglars, but were equally culpable as receivers of stolen gooods. º Mayor Hanna was cognizant of the dangerous character of the villians, º and fearfil that before his plans were fully ripe a murder would le com tmitted, for they, had been seen in their secret retreats to brandish fierce, glistening knives, and swear with oaths that they would sheath them in certain parties whom they dbter mined to visit, if they made the least outcry. It was determined, finally, to make 1 the arrests of twelve of the ringlead ers. The police force were in entire ignorance of the work that was going on; but last evening the Mayor in formed the Chief of Police of the arrests to be made. The mine was t sprung, and the burglars found at last that perseverance, skill and energy had outwitted them. "It was a wonder that it was kept a Secret so long," was the exclamation t heard upmn the street- this morning. 1 The plans had been laid most judi ciou~ily. The Council kept the mat- 1 ter a secret, and ably seconded the I suggestions of the Mayor, assuring º him that they would support him in hii efforts to clear the plague spot I I from the city. º The character of the parties who composed this gang was so well known t that it was necessary to proceed with the utmost caution. Policeman Brun t ner, who has lteveloped the shrewd I qualities of the dective. was con Sstantly on the alert, and he, in confer ence with the Mayor, knew all the º plans of theo burglars before they I were fully carried out. There was a regular organization, with a chief officer, who directed the proceedings of the gang. The strong est obligations rested upon each and every member. One of their oaths was that if any member was arrested they were to swear him out. The pro Sceedings Ibefore the Mayor will begin t as soon as possilble, and it may be that they will be brought before the 1 Court of Common Pleas at the pres L cut session. I . ... • - . 9. . ,.. . . Election Frauds in Texas. The Houston Union of the nine- ti tcenth instant, has the following : Our latest information from Austin )e leads us to believe that the Republi- hi cans have elected their candidates for I, Congress in the First and Third Dis- in tricts, Colonel Whitmore and General ki Clark. It is p1robable teat the Demo- in crats have elected their candidate in al the Fourth District, and almost cer- in tain that they have elected their can- to didate in the Second District. in But we renew the question which , we suggested yesterday. Sould the ca Governor give certificates of election n as members of Congress to these latter IN men who, with their party friends, di openly and outrageously violated o0 every element of the country's laws, p) both State and Federal Suppose tl they had strength enough to be clearly bN elected without colmting illegal votes, go and after making proper allowances . for the number of Republican votes c they kept away from the polls by ter- Si rible and villianous ostracism ; is the cl simple fact of such majorities sufficient E to cover up all their sins and outrages . against the rights of the peotple, the eo dignity of the State, and the majesty rc of the United States ? Are these open criminals against the laws of the a State and nation, these well-known Ii traitors to and haters of the United to States government, to receive their w certificates fron a Republican Gover- li, nor, pledged in the most remarkable n Imanner to the umaintenance of law and order, and flir and pac('eful elec tions, without any mark of the con Sdcnation of the State government. 1 Have not these men during the whole canvass, denied that Mr. Davis tl was Governor at all, denounced and G defied his election order, denounced t< the President of the United States. si fearfully defamed the State govern- A nment, and endeavored to break it n s down, met in a conspiratous conven- tl to incite the people into a rebellion l against the State governmlent, and 7 urge them not to pay their taxes, and u e done everything else that marks a fi s party of traitors and rebels, except the v C overt act of armed resistance Aye, t: and this latter element of treason and n 0 rebellion was not wanting. Their s armed Iands were in every county in " il the State making war, not upon the t Sofficers of the government, but upon ii g its friends, especially the more help- e less-a safer course, but equally as t k criminal. The colored people in the v d towns were not so luch affected by f n these things, but in all country places, i ' especially where the colored people e e were few and feeble, they were t deterred from coming to the polls at t d all, by hundreds and thousands. I I Let the Governor refuse these men t d their certificates. Let them plead 0 their cause before Congress. An air d ing of the villianous and murderous t n secret trickely of the Texas Democ- i r acy before the grave body of our Rep- I g resentatives at Washington, would be .e very healthfil just now. And let our t g Republican Representatives be there to plead the cause of the oppressed 1 and persecuted Republicans of Texas Ii against them. Mayhap Congress will I ' refuse to seat such men at all. At i s any rate, let the Governor vindicate t n himself and the people who have e It been outraged, andl put this mark of ( condemnation upon them-withhold C the certificates. Not Too Fast. Ic The editor of the New Orleans Mi t, trailleuse was evidently in earnest when he penned the following : il Several of our State exchanges have ,n hoisted the urmue of General Grant at re the head of their columns. Is this not is going a little ahead of the fox ? We h submit that there is plenty of time ui yet, before the meeting of the conven e, tioi, to hoist a figure-head, and we il should not be surprised should a vast ie change take place in the opinions of i- the people respecting the policy of ly renominating General Grant. s. So far as Louisiana is concerned, we ie may well refuse to be in haste in this s, matter. Has General Grant yet given re us any tangible evidence that he dis I- approved the Custom-house outrage1 in We think that, by this time, he has e, ihad ample scope for investigation. If th he approved thIe conduct of his officers i on the ninth of August, in this city, r- we don't want any more Grant in our St cohumnns. We never can consent to vote or deliberate under the menace eof bayonets, and if General Grant re I- fuses to rebuke in the most positive re manner those who appealed to this ig despotic power in this State, we are a- against hIlim, though we stand alone. ie Massachusetts has repudiated Grant in as the person of Butler, and the course of st the good old commonwealth is worthy -. if note; other States will repudiate himi should he fail to remove his pt brother-in-law and the other faction ists who disgrace the Republican party in this State. The newspaper editors who were re fused even a ticket of adhnission to the tyrannical military convention of this city are doing a nice business to hoist Grant's name in their papers while he refuses to rebuke the scoundrels who t perpetrated this outrage upon the xt press. Good God, to what depths of i degradation some men are willing to b be plunged! We say, if Grant has O (deterlnined to retain Packard, Lowell, 1 Casey and their satellites, let this lit. tie commonwealth fight hint to the T bitter end, tnough she fight him alone. Base cowards are we all if we yield; men who would cringe to any tyrant and lick the hands of the master who L wounl scourge us. Should Henry Clay o Warmoth bow to such tyranny and I - make terms short of the removal of a 1 the above named gentlemen, we are n s through--of him, at least, we hope 1 better things. God knows we have C - loved hin more than we ever did mor- v tal man, and almost with the love we I would extend to a wife, bea' use we a have believed him honest and capable. s, Few have had better opportunities a than we of judging of his character and conduct. W e have eat at his ta- a ble, slept in his house, watched his g every act, and judged of his every mo- " tive ; and we have, in the midst of all the contumely, slander and vitupera- t. tion to which he has been exposed, [ believed him to be a man of clean - hands, pure motives and hones't pur r poses; and should he bow to the be heat of the man who, as far as we now 1 know, sanctions the insult and igno miny cast upon the people of Louisi n nua, all we have to say is, that we can, S in future, have no faith in human na- c ture; and should the Republican partly t in Louisiana submit to such treatment, I we have had enough of the party, and d e can, with clear conscience and willing n mirnd, abandon it to its inevitable fate. 'r We can submit to defeat rather than i ' disgrace, poverty rather than dishon d or; andi if this be treason to the Re , publican party, our friends can make t' the most of it. If it be treason to re y bel against military despotism, we are , guilty, and the sooner we are tried and convicted the better. We have yet s confidence that the Governor of this State will maintain his dignity of ce character, and never bow to tyranny. t Every noble character in the State s' will sustain him, and we trust that the 1o editors of the press of the State will º Y remain firm in their determination to Ce protect our citizens against the acts of II a tyrant. If we do not, the Custom n house outrage will be accepted in his torys sa Republican iniquity, and this Swe can never afibrd. Hence we say, r- hold in a while before you hoist the le name of U. S. Grant to the head of 'yo ur coluumis. Federal Interference. 'I If it be true as the telegraph reports, t that it is the determination pof the in I Government not to remove the Cus- ne I torn-house officials, who were respon- b3 sible for the disgraceful occurrence of la - August 9, when a political convention t was placed under the surveillance of - the military, and that a pacification is n looked for upon the impeachment of Fi 1 Governor Warmoth, then only mIirac 1 ulous efforts can prevent Louisiana Ti t fromn casting a Democratic electoral a vote in 1872. To desert Warmoth at T this time, is something no honorable i man can do upon the evidence pre r sented by the oppositiou. Governor 1 Warmoth is the Chief Executive of a the State; he has preserved the party Fi i in times of peril; there is no proof - exhibited that that he cannot do so in o s the future, if Federal interference be e withdrawlf. We want no dictation y from outsiders. The people of Louis- 0 , aina are competent judges of their e own needs and wants, and much bet e ter acquainted with the integrity of t their officials than heads of depart- F ments one thousand miles away.-At- T a I takps Register. A curious case of Kleptomania, says'. s the New York Soun, has comd to light in Lawrence, Mass. A burglar after it breaking into a house was captured, e shot and carried to the lockup. Al ,r though his wound was slight, it was e agreed that the surgeon should tell d him he would not live more than an r a hour, in order to draw a confession - 11 from him. The burglar, after exact- F t ing a solemn promise from his captors ;e that all money in his possession e should be handed over to his wife, li )f confessed that he was the author of c d many burglaries that hid been com- t mitted in that region, and that he had secreted in Ash Grove Church, in I Albany, under the pulpit, two tin boxes filled with gold and silver, and in his room, in Arch street, in that t city, several hundred dollars in bank b notes around the waistcoating of the e windows, and in other places; also, a that his real name was Carrel San A born, and that he had worked for Mr. v McDonald, in Albany. He then e handed over $1800 in greenbacks, saying that according to the agree ment that sum, with $800 in savings bank in Albany, and some $400 more secreted in his room, should be given to his wife. He had not robbed for money, he said, but for the pleasure of it; it was a mania which came over is him at times, and which he could not shake off until he broke into some place. The dark lantern found in his possession is a marvel of perfection, and was makle by himself. Sanborn's f wife, who resides in Bristol, N. H., was shocked when she heard of his arrest, as she supposed that he was at Vr work in Albany. All the money and a t property was found concealed in the ýe places indicated. re ADVEUTINI1E ENITi. re JOHN M.
