Nevertheless, had these men racked their brains to concoct a plan for honor- ing Jefferson Davis while impressing up. on the world tjgjr infinitesimal littleness of soul, they could not have hit upon one so eminently successful for both purposes than when they Attempted to deprive Mr. Davis of a pension as a vet. cran in the Mexican war—that conflict in which he, signally among his coui< rades, shed a lustre upon American prowess, and refleted an honor upon the American name which these narrow minded bigots can never hope to rival. The ground upon which the dUtin- guished gentkimn alluded to was to be deprived of a pension, was also entirely characteristic of his assailAuts. It was only because he proudly refuses to turn repentant sinner, confess himself an err ing brother, and, acknowledging himself to bo a traitor, sue for forgiveness for his crimes. Doubtless such men as Hoar X and his fellpws cannot understand this $uch as they cannot comprehend how a A Town U.WDKK WATBMt The Terrible Fate ef la Mimm/fury. Lojjdow, March 12.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Ssegodin,Hungary, saysi £ After a fearful night of anxiety all ef forts proved useless. The water broke through with immense force at three o’clock, carrying away part of the rail ■ way station embankment and the rolling stock, and within three hours the town was many feet deep in water. Terrible suffering is commencing. Shrieks and cries from thousands are beard. Houses are crashing by the score, and in many cases carrying their inmates with them. God only knows what we shill do to-night. There is no gas, the works being fifteen feet under water. I fear we shall run short of food. One boat was just going to save a large house full of people when a fesrthl crash carried with it the whole living freight. The scene is simply heartrending. Over 80,000 people are out of house and home. Hundreds are drowning and the water is still rising rapidly. Sieged in is a town in Southeast Hun. gary, and is the ctpital of the county of Csongrad. The population in 1870 was set down at 70,197. It standsjon a marshy plain on both banks of the Thtiss River, by which it is divided into two parts. In the summer of 1849 Szcgcdin was the scat of the Hungarian South Carolina Railroad. • ^ tHAlW* OF SCflEDULK. Up Day Passengers. (This Train doss not connect with Train for Columbia at Braaobvillo.)

It has or had a vast he might gain a few dollars. In 4 their market place, numerous churches, con opinion everything Is subordinate to money, and U doubtless seems to them the height of folly that Mr. Davis should persist in refusing to place bis honor and self-respect above pecuniary gain. He, however, has been reared iu a different school, and sooner than stamp with shame the cause for which he and thousands upon thousands of his fellow- citizens staked their all, and many of them sacrificed even their lives, he would yield up untold millions of pensions. But these super-loyal patriots and real traitors, who trampled under foot the United States Constitution and the rights of the American people when they stele the Presidency, need not have so worried their diminutive souls. Mr. Davis, long siuce, of his own froc will and ac cord, requested of Congress that his name be omitted from the Mexican pen sion lest it should jeopardiza the passage of the bill, and work injury to his brave co-survivors. And we can tell these zealous patriots that the name and fame of tb« man who was personally compli mented on the field for bis brilliant ex ploits by his father) in-law, Zachary Taylor, and who, by bis genius and courage at Buena Vista, formed his gallant First Mississippi into that cele brated V, and, though severely and paiu fully wounded, saved the day for the American army, will live in history long alter such pigmies as themselves arc for ever forgotten. ruamiiT and accommodatiok. vents, high schools, hospitals, and a theatre.

A Mlntake. Some years ago, as a Mississippi steamer came to a landing, a tall, un gainly, gawkish-looking fellow, leaning against a wood pile, attracted tho atten tion of the passengers, one of whom, a talkative and couapiouous person, re marked to his friends tliat he was going to have some fun. So he jumped ashore when the boat landed, and, with a great show of fierceness, approached the fel low. Drawing a savage bowie knife, ho ■aid: “So, old fellow, I’ve found you at last. You're the man that stole a dog of mine, and I’ve sworn to get square with you. I’ve been looking for you for a year.” The gawky ktily opened his eyes in wondering amassment at first, as though lie didn’t understand it. Then catching sight of the lounging passengers looking on from the deck he took in the situa tion. By the time “ Smarty ” had fin ished telling him how long he had been looking for him, he had taken out of his pocket a fist like a sledge hammer on the end of the arm of a windmill. He swung it onoo and knocked the man who had been looking for him plump into the river. Then, resuming hip place against the wood pile, he raised his eyes to the deck, and with a very lazy drawl, ho in quired : “ Is there anybody else on this boat lookiag for me.’* The joint resolution introduced in the House by Representative Jorgescn au thorizing and directing the President to cause an investigation as to the funds belonging to the so called Confederate States iu deposit in the Bank of Eng land, or iu the hands of private citi- zeus of Great Britain, in its preamble recites that it is believed that the so- called Confederate States, while exor cising the authority and holding commer cial relations with the Government of England, collected large sums of money from certain citizens of the United States and deposited the same, or some part of the same, in the Bank of Eng land to the credit ot the so-called Con- federate States, and that a portion of said sums of money still remain in said bank. The resolution authorizes the President to take such action to secure the same wherever it may be found, to the end that it may be refunded and paid to the citizens who served as sol diers, or colored men who worked on fortifications or served as teamsters in the so«called Confederate armies, and who were disabled in such sewicc and who are now in indigent circumstances and a re dependent upon the charity of the community for a living.
