What Does it Sliow:s?,

ocrats and Guerrillas and their infla-,
once voted for Cloyd and that some'
Democrats who would not vote for a

Republican party; Men, padst stand up
on the Guerrilla record they have made
for themselves. They cannot throw the
responsibility Of theircondubt upon the
shoulders of other men:
raj - They are at their old game of
political trickery already. The guer
rilla leaders peter' at their efforts
to win at a County Convention. Bo
fore the late Convention Jackson En
yeart was promiSed a nomination by
leading guerrillas for County Commis
sioner, and we suppose the promise,
one of many, is extended- to next fall.
Lately, Rash Fisher offered the same
office to Henry Cook if he would work
with his
, faction. 11Ir
,Cook replied
that he would have no objections, to
receiving the office, but he could not
accept the nomination from a set of
d—d guerrillas. No doubt the guer
rilla "programme"; of promising an of
fice to at least 'climatal? in every town
ship for the purpose of securing a con
trolling influence over delegates will
be worked op,wherever a man green
enough can be found to bite at their
bait, only to.find himself deceived af
ter his delegates aro used to advance
the political interests of the leaders of
the Orlady "ring." We don't think
the guerrillas will be troubled :in the
next Republican Convention selecting
candidates for any of
.the offices: In
their . Convention they- can nominate
men of their kind without consulting
Republicans. They can't, pull the
wool over the eyes of good Republi
cans a second time.. Their jig is up.
ItgL.The response of the people of
London to the declaration of the Pre
mier, Mr. Gladstone, that the Fenian
prisoners should not be pardoned, has
been speedy, emphatic and unmistaka
ble. The demonstration was not made
by the Irish residents in London, but
by the working people generally. Sun
day was selected because it is the day
the class participating can boat devote
to such a purpose. Vast processions
marched from various portions of the
metropolis, to Hyde Park; where a
monster meeting was held, numbering
50,000 persons. The speeches, the ca
ble states, were of a highly "inflamma
tory character," and "the American
flag was hoisted and loudly cheered."
Resolutions- were passed, by acclama
tion, demanding amnesty for the Fe
nians." Precisely what has been done
in every county in Ireland, and yet
Mr. Gladstone has declared the amnes
ty will not be - granted. Who is to
yield-tlie people dr the government,
is a question that must be answered
soon.

SEV - A *stra / nger might suppose, after
reading the,puerrilla Organ, that the
guerrillas are very honest in their po
litical purpt)ses. They propose to
elect Democrats whenever they fail to
have nominated by a Republican Con
vention, men of their "ring"—men
who if nominated undetected will aid in
the support of guerrilla and Democratic
organs. They say they are purifiers.
They purify the Republican party
by electing Democrats they have
denounced as worse than rebels. When
they succeed in purifying the Republi•
can party by giving all the offices in

is very s naturai to -suppose they will

weeks prior to the election. It sets
forth that Gov. Geary was pledged to
sign a prohibitory liquor law; that
the "temperance fanatics" were work
ing to secure enough prohibitory men
in the Legislature to pass such a bill;
and that Governor Geary must be de
feated at . every hazard, and the pro
hibitory candidates must share the
same fate, no matter to what political
organization they may belong. But
notwithstanding this circular of the
whiskey ring, their quiet working, and
their money and their liquor poured
out like water, General Geary is still
Governor, and will be expented to ad
minister the laws without favor of
any ring or society.

Another Steamboat Disaster.
I;l4 x njn g of the Steamer Stonewall
°mom)°, October 28, 1869
- A special from-Carbondale,
says that the steamer Stonewall, which
left St. Louis on Tuesday evening for
New Orleans, heavily laden with pas-
sengers, horses, mules, hay, and other
freight, generally, last night about 8
'o'clock, when near Neely's landing, 10
miles from Grand Tower, took fire,
and despite all efforts to save her, was
burned to the water's edge. - )111.1ea
the fire broke out every effort was
made to land, but the steamer was so
heavily laden that she could not be
brought nearer than ono hundred yds.
of the Shore. ' Great Confusion and ter
roiprovailed. There were about two
hundred cabin and deck passengers
aboard, quite. a number of whom were
women and - children. The flames
spread with great rapidity Scores of
men sprung into the water and attemp
ted to reach ,the:shore by- swimming
Nearly all 'these 'were 'lost. Every
conceivable object. ; that cohid bh ob
tained was throWn into the water, and
to these passengers, clung with all the
tenacity of life. "
The steamer Belle Memphis, Capt.:
Crane, on her way to _St. Louis, reach
ed the scene during thif ftize,-and
pick
ed up from the water all that are
known to be saved., c The pilot, engin
eer, stroker, carpenter, and forty-four
passengers are known to be saved.—
The captain, captain, the'clerks and other offi
cers, deck hands and many of the pas
sengers were lost. All the hooks and
papers of the boat were lost, as also
were the cattle and; other freight - on
board. A number of persons died af
ter reaching the shore from the expos
ure in the water.,
There was no explosion. All of the
women, and children were.lost, nearly
if not all being turned to death. The
conduct of the passengers and officers
is said to have been heroic.' Such an
appalling scene has not been witness
ed on the Mississippi for many years.
The saved were kindly cared for by
the officers of the Belle Memphis, and
were earried on to St. Louis. The
number lost or their names had not
been ascertained ,when this dispatch
cloSed, but it iu feared that one hun
dred and twenty five to one hundred
and fifty aro lost.
LATER—An interview with the as
sistant engineer of the ill fated steam
er, 'by a telegraph correspondent at
Carbondale, gets from Lim the follow
ing.statement : The alarm was given
at half past. six, and in ten minutes
the boat was in a sheet of flames, and
every person bad deserted her. Of the
women on board, but three were saved.
But one yawl was seen and that was
taken possession of by some dock pas
sengers. No other life boat or life
preservers were seen. The boat was
grounded two hundred yards from the
shore, in about six feet of water.—
There were forty cabin and one hund
red and fifty deck passengers, and six
ty of the crew, in all about two bun.
dred and fifty souls. About fifty only
were saved.
Sr. Louts, October 28.—Mr. Phelps,
a planter of Shreveport, La., has ar
rived from the wreck of the Stonewall
and furnishes the following : The boat
caught fire at half past 'elk - o'clock
Wednesday evening, at a point a little
below Neely's Lauding, 125 below St.
Louis, from a candle, which the deck
passengers had near some hay, while
playing cards. The steamer was run on
a gravel bar, the pilot suppo'sing that
the passengers could wade ashore on
the bar. Unfortunately at the end of
the bar there was a slough, and hero
it was that the larger number were
drowned. The boat was run on the
bar but two feet, and the shallowest
point about her had five or six feet of
water. The boat had so much hay
aboard that she burned like tinder,
and all efforts to put it out were un
availing.
' The people at Neely's saw the light
and hastened to assist. One man res
cued sixteen persons with a skiff. Had
it not been for their help, all would
have been !ost. A gentleman from
Paducah, Ky., swam ashore with a la
dy, and at her entreaty returned to
save her child. In swimming ashore
he was grasped by a drowning man,
and would have been himself drowned
had he not•shook him off. One • man
was taken from the wreak so badly
burned that be died as soon as he
reached the shore.
gm. A young man went from New
York to Jersey the other evening to
visit his intended, and as it was late
and very dark when he left the house
to return to the ferry, she insisted on
his taking a lantern with him, and gave
him a red paper ono, a la Chinese. The
youth,had a long distance to walk to
the depot, and took the railroad track
as the shortest route. He walked
along paying very little attention to
anything, being somewhat abstracted
with the thoughts of his lady-love; but
the; revery was suddenly brought to an
end by some one from the rear, who
gave the Chinese lantern a kick that
sent it flying. "Confound you!" said
the person from behind, "here I have
been slowing my train for the las two
miles on account of that red light."—
And indeed it was true, for not far be
hind him the young gentleman was a
freight train, and it was the engineer
who had kicked the light. The young
man now goes among his chums by
the name of "Red Light Bill."
