COLUMBIANS. C. O3antlay Moraine, February 5,1871. The Ousting of the Chesterfield Mein sera. As our readers liavo observed, on Fri? day last, the House of Repr?sentative s, by a vote of fifty-three to twenty-five, ousted tho Reform members from Ches? terfield-Messrs. Hough nnd Evana. These gentlemen had beon duly declared ontitltcd to their seats by tho State Board of Canvassers-Radical though it is. lu apite of this, and of tho strong points made in behalf of Messrs. Hough and Evans, they were ousted and the Radical contestauts seated. Tho Bpirit of party prevailod nfc tho exponso of justice. All we have to say is this: This notion is to us no matter of surprise It is in keep? ing with tho character which is very generally ascribed to the tnnjorily in the House. Tho action wo uro commenting upon is suggestive in another- point of view. It seems to imply tbat the majo? rity is organizing its forces for futuro work. The raid contemplated on the Stato Treasury, in tbo6hnpo of new rail? road bonds, and other sobornes, is pre? ceded by a raid on Reform delegations. Tho party flag is raised, soon to bc fol? lowed by tho kindred banner of plunder aud pillage. The public will observe who of the Legislature will bo found nailing* nuder that piratical flag, aud will note, too, those who may have put tho ship afioai. This Legislature, or rather the majority thereof, was to givo us the reform that their opponents wcro con? tending for. The indications aro that with increased taxes and partial legisla? tion, wo uro to havo "reform" with n vengeance. DEMOCRATIC POWER.-Thc folio wi ug statement of fucts is taken from thc New York World: Tho Tribtow publishes a tabla showing the electoral votes of tho States which gavo Radical majorities aud of those which gave Democratic majorities during tho year 1870, and foots up a total of 171) electoral votes on tho Radical sido and 117 votes on tho Democratic side. lu order to make out its case, it iucludes in the Radical column the electoral votes of Mississippi and Texas, which held no elections in 1870; of Pennsylvania, which gave a Democratic majority on the popu? lar vote; and of Arkansas, in which, thauks to the rascality of its Radical Go vernor, no returns have yet boen made public. Tho Democrats still claim a I 'gal majority in Arkansas, though what Governor Clayton's returns will bo is quito another thing. In b'loridn, whose eloctorul vote the Tribune also claims, thcro was an actual Democratic majori? ty of 228 iu the State. Tho Radical Board of Canvassers deliberately throw out tho vote of nine Democratic Coun? ties, and declared Walls (negro) elected to Congress by G29 majority. There never was a moro barefaced fraud. Con? ceding, however, the eleotoral vote of Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi and Texas to tho Radicals, they have but lol votes, whilo tho Democrats have 172. The Tribune's figure-twister is therefore de? ceiving the Tribune's readers when he asserts that if tho elections of 1872 copy those of 1870, a lt idie.il will be choson Presidont. On the contrary, "quite the reverse." Tho Knoxville (Tenn.) Chronicle, of the 14th ult., tells of un adventure us thrilling and improbable ns any that has ever adorned the pages of the most sen? sational story writer. A short timo since a drover, stopping for tho night nt an inn in tho mountains near tho dividing line of Tennessee and North Carolina, had his suspicions aroused by the rough appearance of severul ill-looking men who were about thc premises. There? fore he carefully examined his'room be? fo rn retiring, and was horrified by find? ing concealed under his bed the body of a man, with his throat eut from oar to o ir. Tho drover took up tho body of the murdered man, placed it carefully in tho bed, covered it up, aud took his position behind the door to await tho result. About mid-night tho door was softly opened, nud five men, armed with huge knives, entered tho room and stealthily approached the bod-side. Tho drover did not romain to watch their further proceedings, hut quietly (-lipped out of thc open door, and made the best of Ids way from thu murderous den. The next morning he raised a force nud returned to tho inn, where tho party succeeded in capturing four of tho gang. -.- . - An execution nt Chattanooga. Tenn., on tho lGlh ultimo, was rendered cheer? ful, not to hay hilarious, by a steamboat excursion to tho gallows, which was erected some distance down tho river, at $1 50 tho round trip for nil except tho condemned murderer, who was compli? mented with a freo ticket, no had a state-room, and tho jovial excursionists dropped in to see him one by one. Ho was highly gratified with tho attention paid him, smoked und chatted with his visitors, and when a table in tho cabin broke down from tho weight of those sitting on it, ho laughed heartily. As he was ridiug from tho boat to tho place of ?xecution, seated on his collin, ho jok? ingly warned a doctor whom ho saw in the crowd to lot his body rest in pence. Ho was finally swung ofF, to the great enjoyment of a largo and drunken crowd of spectators, upon whom such an ?xecution must havo produced a power? ful moral client. It is stated that the town of Toll nan to ??ic, M?xico, hus buen attacked by 5,000 1.1)dinns rind totally destroyed. A NOBTHKRN EDITOK WHO CAN WRITE SENSIBLY ABOUT IHE SOOTH.-Aa such reasonable views do not often appear in tho Northern proas, we take pleasure in transferring toour columns the following article from the Pittsburg (Pa.) Commer? cial upon Southern sentimeut regarding the war, and in answer to the diatribes that have appeared from lime to lime against what is considered the audacity of the Southern people in writiug histo? ries from which their childi eu can bo taught tho actions and motives of their fathers. We commend ita catholic sen? timents to its bitter-end contemporaries at the North, whoso narrow-niiuded edi? tors are incapnble of seeing beyond their own tide of tho question, and of realiz? ing the fact that those who differ from them may be honest: SoiiTHEKK IIiSTOiiY ov TUB WAU - Se? veral able editors uro much excited by tho fact that histories of the luto eivil war, in which tho subject is looked at from tho Southern or .secession poiut of view, aro uppeariug in tho .Southern Slates. Tho offensive feuture of tho en? terprise is tho fuct that tlioso histories aro prepared for the use of schools. As wo huvo not Eeen any of these works, we aro unnblu to say a word about their faults or merits. We refer to the subject simply to remark how uaturul it is thut such books aro produced, that people who undertook and inaintuiued so tre? mendous a struggle through so long a timo aro uuwilling to hnvo their children receive their hist impressions of the nuturo of thu contest and of tho mo? tives and purposes of the actors from enemies. Whoever examines one or two o' the school histories of the war written in the North, will uot wonder that the men of the South do not choose that their chil? dren shull be taught to think of them ns they ure therein roprenented. Woro they wil?iug to be thus judged by tho rising generation, or were they indifferent nu the subject, they would be Smote or less than men. There is no uso denying or ignoring tho fact-the most intelligent, the most honorable, tho most conscien? tious, and, in every sense, tho mo.st worthy people of tho Southern States, first or hist, engaged in the couflicl with all their hearts und minds. Account for the phenomenon ns we arny, that was thu fact, and justice to tho North us well us the South requires its recognition. Before tho war closod, very many of tho Southern people saw and admitted that in rebelling they had made a fear? ful mistake in comparing Northern and Southern character and resources. Of course that belief is universal in tho South to-day. All men of senso there know perfectly well that thc cause is lost beyond possibility of recovery and for? ever. On proper occasions, and proper? ly approached, there are probubly few of tho former rebels who will not freely admit so much. But to expect thom to proclaim themselves scoundrels as well as blunderers-to deelare that in seced? ing they set at naught the clear dictates of conscience and reason, sinning against light and knowledge, and for? feited all claim upon the respect of their fellow-men-ia asking too much. The iuterprctatiou of the Constitution, which seemed to them sound, and upon whioh they founded their action, is ex? ceedingly plausible. Minds of a very high order iiavo seen in it tho true and real meaning of the fundamental law of tho land. Likely a very largo propor? tion of tho rebels believed sincerely some of them after prolouged thought aud inquiry-that they were maintaining the truo principles of constitutional li? berty. Viewed candidly, it is creditable to the honesty of their convictions ut the time that so few of them, iu spite of powerful temptations and inducements, have been able to perceive the unsound? ness of the ground on which they acted. Surely nothing could be more natural than tho unwillingness to have the prin? ciples and motives of their conduct mis? represented, or wrongly apprehended in tho minds of their children. Doubtless it is desirable that tho past shall not be allowed to rino up f.nd disturb thu pre? sent or tho future. But the remedy is not in oblivion; tho past cannot bo for? gotten. The truo remedy will be found ill thc spirit of inquiry and intelligence among tho coming generations of both North and South. TEMI I ULE Tit AO BD Y.-A farmer, name not given, residing between Spring Grove and Kock Grove, Illinois, recently sold his furm aud received tho money". Lust Tuesday or Wednesday night ho left his homo and went to Rock Bun. Returning from there, as ho neared home, he was confronted by a mun who demanded his money. The farmer drew a revolver and shot tho robber dend. Starting for his house, ho encountered two other men, each of whom ho de? spatched with his revolver. Entering his house, he found his wife and daugh? ter weltering in their blood, tho latter being dead, und his wife, though badly injured, was not dead when last heard from. One of the dead men was recog? nized as tho stranger who had recently attempted to purchase the farm from tho man whom he proposed to rob. This story seems to lie improbable, but tho details como from several different ?.-o urces and neurly identical in detail. TRIMMING COUPONS.-Tho United States Treasurer has recently decided that coupons of tho United States should not be trimmed by tho holders, for thu reason that tho correspondence between tho edges of coupon? detached from the sumo bond is often tho only means of iudctitiiying coupons in cases of muti? lation or of lost or altered number or dato. Tho dikes of Smyrna, iu Abiatio Tur? key, have been destroyed by a torrent, anil a large part of tho town inundated and many ol tho inhabitants drowned. The BIlMlulppl Dl?Mter. Tho loss of the Arthur, Hf leon miles above Memphis, on Bat ord ny morning,, has been already announced ia oar tele? graphic column. From the Memphis Avalancha, of the 29th ultimo, we get the following additional particulars: The year, although barely begun, has been fruitful nf Mississippi steamboat dis? asters; but none have boen so full of .sickening horrors as this-tho last, by which eighty odd human beings, includ? ing muuy women and children, were hurled swiftly and suddenly to death. Tho W. lt. Arthur was ono of the ll nest aud best appointed steamers belonging to tho St Louis und New Orleans packet compauy. Shu left Memphis after ll o'clock on Friday night, eu route to Lou? isville, having ou board about forty-five Cabin passengers, fiftecu of whom were ladies, forty deck passengers, twenty officers, ten cabin boys, three chamber? maids and deck crew of about fifty hands. Tho cargo consisted of 1,072 bales of cotton and about 1,000 lons of gencrul merchandize, consisting chiefly of sugar, molasses and coffee. Captain Harry NV. l?roluski, a well-kuowu rivet man of great experience, WUK in com? mand of the ill-fated steamer. Tho night waa rainy, cold and ?lisa greca de, with sleet and flakes of snow. Few stars wore to bo seen iu the tirina mont, aud it was pitch dark when tho Arthur left tho landing. She was, how? ever, a staunch boat, aud every one on bourd had confidence in her superiority as a river craft, and shortly after the vessel tm ned her head up stream, all, or ucarty all, of tho passengers retired to their berths. In the dead lion roi' night, au hour after mid-night, when tho lights had been turned down and tho majority of those on board were enjoying a sound steep, they wcro suddenly startled from their slumbers hy a low ominous sound, followed by a crashing report, us if a park of artillery had been simultaneously discharged. A violent concussion sue cecil ed thu report and tho vessel quiver? ed from stem to stern, and seemed as if all the timbers had parted asunder. Many were thrown out of their berths on the floor, whilo tho roofs of state? rooms came crashing in upon the occu? pants. In au instant the lights had been extinguished and all was dark as Erebus. Men, women and children rushed ont of their berths and statc-roorus in their night, clothes, all realizing that some dreadful catastrophe had taken place. Ono of tho boilers had burst aud the forward part of tho boat was on fire. Tho scene was frightful beyond descrip? tion. The boiler which hud exploded was hurled lift, through tho lower deck and lauded on the stern. Tito texas, pilot-house, hurricane dick and forward cabin were literally shuttered to pieces, aud the entire forward portion of tho steamer rendered a total wreck. Many of the deck hands wore hurled into the air by tho force of tho explosion, or scalded to death by tho steam us it rushed out of the boiler. To add to the terror of tho catastrophe, dense volumes of smoke began to roll aft along tho decks of tho ill-fated craft, nnd the terrible alarm wont forth, from mouth to mouth, "the steamor is ou fire." Preparations were made on every sido by those who had crowded into tho ladies' cabin for safety to commit themselves to tho dark waters of tho Mississippi, as many seemed to prefer the risk of drowning to encountering the terrors of tho "lire king." Cries of "help" came from every side. All was dark; the raiu was de? scending in torrents, mingled with sleet, which froze as it fell. The lights had all been extinguished; the fires in the stoves put out by tho steam and water from the exploded boilers, and the poor unfortu? nate people were huddled together in their night clothes in tho after cabin ol the boat. From the river carno cries ol "help! help!" from those who were about to perish and who had been sud? denly thrown into the river by tho force of tho explosiou, whilo tho groans aud shrieks from the wounded and the dying stretched about tho deck caused the hearts of tho stoutest to quiver with emotion, as they felt that it was impos? sible to render that succor which was sn much required. Never before, perhaps, were the upper works forward of any boat so completely wrecked. Tho captain organized bia pas-eugeis and crow and armed them with buckets, by which thoy were able te retard the progress of tho devouring t ie men t. Whilo this was going ou, many of the passengers woio providing them? selves with life preservers. Doors were wrouched oft" the state rooms, und thc ladies, who, as usual, had been cool and firm in tho midst of the great danger, prepared to commit themselves to thc "Father of Waters" on tiny rafts, which were hastily constructed of sta to room doors und other material. An attempt had been mudo to launch the lifo bout, but such was the anxiety of a number ol persons to get uboard before it could bo allowed to touch tho water, that it was capsized and carried away by tho force of tho stream. Tho yawl was torn to pieces by thu explosion, so that all had to depend upon extemporized ruffs und cotton bales to reach tho shore, which was ovor 100 yards distant, with a cur? rent running ut tho rate of four miles au hour, and on a dark, tempestuous night. About twenty minutes after the explo? sion the entire forward part of tho bout was in flames. Soon ufterward thc stern ot" tho boat caught on the bar, near the foot of Island Forty, when tho bow swung around down stream and sunk. A rust! of wator passed ontirely over the lower deck, forward of tho wheel house, and extinguished tho flames, which, otherwise, would havo destroyed thc boat iu a few minutes. Tho total number of lost is eighty si ven, including deck hands and crew.* A young man, named George H. Starr, committed suicide a few weeks ago; which so a fleet ed a friend of his, Alfred Oaroway, that ho also committed suicide lu>t week. All in Now York city. A terrible nitro-glycerine explosion occurred near Tituaville, Pono., on Tuesday, ut thu torpedo works of Roberts & Go. Charley Palmer, H lad of nine teen, while in ibo ac?of .filling torpedoes, attempted to ?.?crow on tim can without wiping thu thread, and thus freeing it from all truce of powder, when an im mediato concussion euaned. Tho shed in which thc youth was ut work wus blown to atoms, und Um h>.d thrown, horribly tuauglcd and lifeless, about twenty feet from tho spot. Near by luy ono of his ainu's, und tiie surrounding trees wore studded with mimerons shreds of his shirt and clothing, which clung to tho brunches and fluttered in tho wind. There was no appearance of any building having been there, except twenty-four torpedo cases lying promiscuously about the snow, also a number of empty wooden boxes which had onco contained thc fulminate The youth hud been em? ployed io his dangerous calling but iwo mouths.
