FIRE ON THE MOUNTAINS. Great Conflagration in Ulster and Sullivan Counties. ee Hundreds of Acres of Trees Burned to Ashes. Wild Animals Driven in Terror from the Woods. The Flames Arrested by a Rain Storm. ©x CLove, Ulster county, May 27, 1871. Fire on the mountains! Never before were such fires witnessed hereabout as now, Ihe scenes pre- sented are the grandest 1 ever witnessed. beiore we started for this spot we were told simply that there ‘was “some fire in the woods,” the person imparting ‘the information speaking thus briefly, leading us to believe it didu’t amount to much; but in that he and we were greatly mistaken. We reached here Via the Rondout and Oswexo Ratlroad, trom Ron- dout, getting off at Phmuicia, and from the latter point we “struck In” to the mountains, mding over @ rough road in a jolting wagon driven by Milo Barber, one of the old settiers hereavouts. The air ‘was filled with smoke, and far up the mountains, which completeiv surrounded us, columns of gmoke circled high in air or were whirled away im fantastic shapes by the winds, “Yer sce that ar mountain thar,” said our driver. “Wall, sir, fur more’n forty years that mountain hasn't bin a fire before.” Not a spark of fire could be seen upon its broad side, though streains of smoke rose and eddied from hundreds of places, “Jess wait till dark comes, then ye’ll see fire,” again exclaimed the driver, as we jolted by the base. Chichesterville was reached at dusk, and there we ‘we halced for the night, Itis a pretty little place, holding about twenty-five houses, all clustered about one huge chair factory, from which the Sturdy inhabitants draw their living, and never was a hamlet iocated in a more romantic spot, It lies in a hollow, and on every hand, north, south, east and west, towering mountains rise, the whole forming one vast amphitheatre. Recelv- ing kind attention and an excellent supper at Gem- miil’s we were ready to witness the grand display of the night—the burning mountains, One huge mountain directly south of us, and only about 500 feet away, was a sight to look upon, Its face, nearly a mile tn length and several hundred feet in height, Was lignted up in every part. Flames spread in every direction, the whole surrounding country being iliuminated. Suddenly the eye is atiracted to apillar of flame brighter than all the rest. It shoots up into the air with quivering, forked tongues, and, bowing to a gust of wind, reaches out like an ara of fire and sends more destruction hurrying along, ‘The fire had reached a clump of hemlock trees, and quicker than a flash of lightning had destroyed them, while the crackling and hissing of the flames cast dismay into the hearts of the oldest men. Thousands of trees were burning, some of them only at the top, looking like signal lights showing the way for the main body of fire to move. As tree after tree falls myriads of sparks ascend far above the mountain top and Soat away to start other fires in other parts, In another direction huge piles of hard wood logs are burning, and these send up awallof flame high and broad andof white heat. Fireand fame belch from every point on the south, and bere Telmon Joy could find another “fireproof gilt edgea hell.” While we were gazing upon tnis scene a foaming steed and rider came tearing up the rugged road- Way at half-past ten P. M., the rider, a3 he flew by, shouting, “The fire is spreading in the Oxclove; we ‘Want help!” and dozens of stalwart forms started for the scene. Milis and houses there were in dan- ger, but fortunately the fire fighters were suc- cessful, and the property was saved, though hun- Greds of acres of woodland were destroyed, Inevery direction fire was visible, even twelve miles away at Hunter, where the losses are very severe. One poor fellow hereabonts, Edward Law, loses his ail, amouting to about $8,000, Other losses are occur- ring every hour, ranging insums of $200, $500 and $1,000. Thousands upon thousands of trees have been destroyed. These fires are, as a general thing, started by burning what ts called ‘follow”—that 1s, burning out old stumps and underbrush to clear the land for cultivation. Foxes and other animals are driven before the Mames in every direction and birds whirl frantically in the air in the night, apparently not knowing which way to go, for on every side of them fires are blazing. It is estimated that the damage caused this year by mountain fires in Ulster and Sullivan counties alone will amount to $500,000, Liereavouts, at tour o’clock yesterday morning, a drenching thunder storm occurred, the first rain the inhabit- ants have experienced in several weeks, and it was hailed with joy, as it immediately arrested the pro- gress of the Names at all points. DECORATION DAY. The Floral Committee have designated for the Teception of flowers, plants, &c., the following places.

TEXAS. Condition of Affairs Under the Reconstruction Acta—The Racical Governor and His Ope- rations—Assistance from the Military. BROWNSVILLE, May 18, 1871. Itisan old and well tried saying that “when rogues fall out honest men get their due.” An op- portunity for vesting the rule is at present afforded in this State, as the rogues. of the political area, headed by Reynolds, Davis, Hamilton and others, are performing their part and are pitching into each Other with all the vigor and effect of the traditional Killkenny cats, As tn the other Southern States, so 1n this, the effect of reconstruction has been to take the public taterest out of the hands of those who from intelligence and property have a stake in the country and turn it over to alot of irresponsivie vagabonds, who obtain position by consorting with their congenital spirita, the idle, dissolute negroes, and by pandering to their worst Instincts, and whose only ovject is to “make hay wiile the sun shines,” knowing that they must soon be repu- diated by an outraged peopie. his Is not the place nor is it my province to write the history of recon- struction in its effects upon the interests of the States, That ts a work for the fature, and when the passions and prejudices of the hour have died away. ‘That It will be written ts certain, and the world will then siand appalled that such infamies should have been perpetrated in a couatcy claiming to be the ireest and most enlightened under the sun, and by @ party arrogating to itgelf the intelligence and moral- ity of the repupiic. My object rather is to show the condition of the radical party in the State, aud the diferences existing between the two branches, like to end In its speedy expulsion from power—a consummation desired by every good man acquainted with the situa- tion here, To this end a sketch of affairs since the election of the Legislature under the reconstruction laws in 1869 18 necessary. The Legislature came together in November of that year for the purposs of ratifying the amend- Ments to the national constitution and the election of United States Senators. Some legislation fol- lowed, but of this it is not requisite to speak. ‘here were elected to the Senate—Morgan 0. Hamilton, for the unexpired term, ending March 4, 1871, and for the succeeding term ending in 1877, and J. W. Flanagan for the term ending in 1874, State officers Were also chosen in the November election men- tioned. The candidates for Governor were A. J. Hamilton, representing the more liveral repubil- cans and who favored the removal of political dis- abilities, and Eamund J. Davis, holding extreme radical ideas, As in the Missouri election, so 1p this, the administration of the “Hero President” saw fit to interfere. Davis was declared its candi date, and all the influence of federal patronage and military rule was brought to bear in his favor. In the order of General Reynolds, commanding the de- partment, calling the election, was a clause preventing the placing of any member on the tickets, as had been the custom, thus rendering the discovery of any frauds impossible, and, though it 3s scarcely denied that Hamilton ob- tained the majority of votes, the ballot boxes were 80 manipulated that Davis was declurea elected. Instances of the most glaring fraud were known, but nothing couid be done against the mintary com- mander, backed by the admunistration, and Davis took his seat. ‘This, however, not by virtue of his election, a8 under the reconstruction laws this was of no avail until the Legislature had obeyed the behests of Congress in adopting certain constitu- tlona) amendments, but by appointment from Rey- nolds as Provisional Governor, Not so with those elected to the various positions throughout the Stute. Unless in entire accordance with Davis they were refused possession of the offices to which they had been chosen, and not-oniy this, but those holding positions by appomntment or otherwise were turned beri unless belonging to the extreme radical sec- ion. Soon after Davis had assumed possession of the Gubernatorial chair the Legislature what is KuowD as the “inabling act,” by which, in most pulpabile violation of the constitution of the State and of the United States, the Governor was author- ized to appoint every onicer throughout the State, whether of State, county, city or ward. Judgey, mayors, aldermen, constabdies, policemen—all oit- cers, from Secretary of State to the lowest official, hold their places by appointment from the Gover- nor. Atthe same time asState police organization ‘was constituted, the members appointed by Davis and authorized to enter any gentieman’s domicile Without uny writ or warrant Of law, overrun his pre- mses and carry him off to jail on their own mution and at their own discretion, As tie weaith and in- telligence of tne State were and are inthe hands of the democracy or iberal republicans, Davis has found his supporters among the very worst class of carpet-baggers, scalawags and scoundrels tuat have overrun ihe South since the war. These men associate On terms oi social equality with the vagabond negroes, are without character or means, and for a few dollars can be bribed to any baseness. Those appointed to positions where bonds are re- quired are scarcely ever able to find them; but this is no bar to the exercise of their oficial functtons, in which tuey are upheld by Davis, Of the eighty or ninety sheriffs in the State not more than ten are properly qualified; walle if at any time itis de- sirous to get ny one outof office he ts required to sign bond after bond, with sufictent security, until he 1s Gnaliy compelled to succumb, and his piace 1s tilled by a creature of tne Governor. ‘tac Sheriff of ‘unis county (Cameron) has already furnisted bonds to the amount of $70,000, and more are coming. He 1s a liberal republican. and ols place is wanted, As this legislative body soon came to be a stluk in the nostrils of every decent man in the State, and to realize the fact, its scaiawag members deiermined to jollow a precedent well established across the Kio Grande, and so passed the law extending their term or office forabcut one year, The Governor signed it, and the same was placed on the statue book. The theory upon which the Legislature acted was that 1t Was not the body contemplated by the constitution and the law until the State was fully admitted under the reconstruction act, and that previous thereto it was acting in a provisional character. However ridiculous uns theory might be, it was supposed, and correctly, that the admin- istration of Grant would in no way interfere, and the peopie would be without possibility of redress, Meanwhile, and most unfortunately for this “little game,'’ other elements were entering into the polili- cal situation. At the time of the Senatorial election it was supposed that Morgan ©. Hamilton was in entire accord with the Davis wing of tne party. But @ difference soon arose between them, growing out of the proscriptive ideas of the Governor and his desire to controi the federal patronage of the State, and it was determined to get rid of nim. As according to the theory above re- ferred to the Legislature was merely provisional at the time of his election for the term commencing in 18/1 It was not qualified to elect him, and so his seat was declared vacant and General Reynolds chosen vo succeed him, ‘Thee gallant warrior, foriiged with his credentiais, pi led to Washington expecting to occupy the seat once filled by a Houston and a Rusk. The resuitis known. The Senate committeo unanimously reported tn favor of Hamtlton’s right to his place and Reynolds was ordered back to the State, where, for more than three years, he has dragged his untform through the flith of Southern Politica, lost his once high reputation and now fur- nishes a melancholy example of the demoralization which has come over those of our old army officers who allowed themselves to do the dirty work of base and designing politicians, As Davis was and is satisfed of his entire ability to govern the State and appoint every official of Whatever rank or character, without any resort to the baliot box, and as he ts certam to be repudiated by the people upon the first opportunity, he has re- fused to call any election, and so the people are de- barred entirely from the: right of self-government. it was expected that the members of Congress ‘would hold over, as the Legisiature proposed to; 80 no provisicn was made for their election in time for the present session, and Texas 1s unrepresented in the popular branch of the national tegisiature. Under the od government, which was repablican in its form, an election, in which the peopie decided who their officers should be, took place in August, and the law in reference thereto ts still unrepealed. As yet, however, no steps have been taken in the premises. As by the decision of the Senate in retaining Hamilton tn his seat the State Legislature was prac- tically declared to be the one contempiated by the constitution, and that therefore the term of ofiice cominenced irom the time of its first session to ratify the constitution, and as the Attorney General of the State has given an opinion that the Legisia- ture has no right to prolong its term, the question of election i8 being mooted, It certamly cannot be much longer postponed, aaa with it will result the complete extinction of that miserable class which is now preying on the body politic. Governor Davis sume time since deciared martial law In certain counties, because, as 18 claimed, resist- ance was made to the State police entering houses without warrant, and a number of respectable _per- sons have been tried and condemned by military commission, Wherever appeal has béen made to the Superior Court, and an opportunity to have his acts passed upon has beea imminent, ‘the Gov- ernor has pardoned the appellant.’ The question of impeachment is freely discussed throughout the ee and it will very probably follow on the elec- jon. ‘The course of Davis has excited the greatest ins diguation throughout the State, not only of the democrats, bat of the Itberal republicans, and 1t 1s indeed hard vo ind @ man of intelligence and char- acter who pretends to jnstfy it. ‘That carelessness of the pubite interests peculiar to radical Legisia- tures throughout the South is equally manifested here, and Austin is overrun with an army of human Pog eure ne eee of a a, jority of the Legisiators, made up of negroes and adventurers, with nothing to lose and every: thing to gain, with hands constantly extended, are equal to any baseness, and Texas promises soon. to be as bad Off as our sister State of Louisiana, ‘This piccure ts strong, but nothing I can say will give S correct idea of the musfortunes Which haye come over this State under radical misrale, The feeling between the Morsan and Davis wincs of the party 1s very bitter and is inte! ing every day. As both Morgan and Flanagan in the Senate stuck to Grant m the St. Domingo business their tnfuence hi much increased, ant they now control the federal patronage. This has strengthened the w oppo- hents of Davis, who ‘ormeriy controlied tht tron. age, aud the fight is now going on openly and above board. When the clection takes piace the liberal republicans will nominate candidates of their own or be forced into the ranks of the hayes & which will leave the latter an easy race, and radealism, with its horde of stealing scalawags, will be buried beyona possibility of resurrection. FASHIONABLE SUMMER RESORTS. Iteme from Long Br: A great number of Western people will visit the Branch this summer.

Afairs in the Empire—focial and Political— Probable Absence and Po:sible Abdi- cation of the Emperor. Rro Janerro, April 12, 1871. To any and all who give the least attention to the Political character of the present or future of the different nations of the globe the condition of Brazil 48 peculiarly interesting. More especially 18 this true of the older foreign residents of this and otner clties of Brazil and of the number who have become Mentified with the development of the more interior provinces, aud whose long acquaintance with Brazil and the Brazilians constitutes them, if not impurtial witnesses, at least (paradoxical though it may seem) rellable judges. ‘They have noted the changes of twenty, thirty and possibly forty years of residence and familiarity with the govern- ment, people, customs and creeds, both political and religious, and they speak in terms of surprise at the changes which peacesu! revolntions have wrought between what they found at their coming and what they now see. Brazt!l, though in no tutimate con- tact with the live nations of the earth, is still not so far away as uot to be affectea, and sometimes thor- oughiy, by apparently the same causes that have Wrought mighty changes in those lands. The con- tinual rebuke of tne great fpublic of the North, which, in spite of its quadrennial political excite. ment and change of executive—that constitutes the opjection and stumbling block to men of limited re- publican ideas, not only in Brazil, but in Europe as well—has grown s0 marvellously and increased in manufactures, wealth, national privileges, educational opportunities and the enlightened manhood which results from dignified labor, so much beyond the hopes even of the most enthusiastic republicans of two generations ago that its influence has been most important on the far-seeing and more intelligent and liberal minds of Brazil, of which the nation has yet too tew; and we mighty struggie through which the United States of America so grandly and successfully passed, assuring permanence to its organized, national life, and doub- ng tts strength, of which it seemed before to have so much, have added new advocates,nere to the theory and purpose of a new government, which shall com- bine in its constitution and life the chief features of the North American success, The political throes through which, in late years, the nations of Europe have passed—some of them even for the preservation of national life—nave been Witnessed by the people of Brazil not without the changing of old and the creation of new opin- fons, and the production of great revoluuons of thougnt on the subject of government, Another cause for the disturbance of publlo opinion—as affected by the changes in social cus- toms fixed as they had been im the grooves of gen- erations—simple though the announcement may seem and ridiculous as it may frst appear in the estimation of those who have given the matter im this connection no thought—has been the introduc- tion and successful prosecution of the lines of street raiiway. Here, as also in the other cities of brazil, they have been located and managed exclusively by Americans, and men with ample experience and peculiarly and eminently fitted for the work which they undertook, so that here in this city we have systems of street railways which in every feature and part, the cars and stock, the track material and the laying of it, the time table system, the rules and regulations, are equal, if not superior, to the best American street railways, and the people of Brazil will wake up some day and find that these gentlemen—who, while working for thelr own private ends ‘and gain, did not fall to see the benefits to the people which must arise from it—have conferred national blessings which even a bloody revolution might yot have secured; for it is notorious that this innovation or street cars, and the convenience and frequency of their running, have broken up conventional customs, and changed the methods of social life from the deep roots of genera- tions and ages in which they had been running to @ point anddegree of benefit which seemed Linpos- sible. Before the introduction of street cars virtu- ous Women Were seen in vhe streets only in com- pany with fathers, husbands, brothers or sons, and rarely with them, jor the liberly of womea was much restricted, Toe customs of ages could supply all their wants wituia the limits of their own mansions, and the rules which bound women as Nxed as the caste of the Medes and Per- sians. But from slight begiunings, and though only within two years, aud from the examples set by the foreign ladies of the community, this is all changed, and new women, young girls wad chiidren take ad- vantage of these opportunities and are daily seen in the streets 12 numbers comparing favorably with those in American and Kuropeaa cities. Tais has been a change 80 marvellous Liat It sil excites the remarks of natives and foreigners, is benegcial beyond catculation aud its ramilications of induence are quite beyond computation. Tne street railway has brought tue remocter portions of the city wituin short distances of eac other so far as time 13 con- cerned; tt has brought all classes of population more into juxtaposiuon; all the grades of social and political life into more tutimate relations; cheapened the modus of city travel, given carriages to persons of moderate meana, and to the men of wealth made the private carriage almost anneces- sary. It has brought itve Americans into intimate acquaintance and close relations with the officials of tue goverument, both high and low aod in all tne branches, and an eifect of this has been to sweep away the cobwebs of age and conventional custom Which blinded tue sight and impeded the move- ments of those ofliclals, and from them the inflacace has extended. In the bands of one acquainted with the subject whereof he was speaking a most iuoteresting and instructive article might be written on the wouder- ful influence and effect, and the benefit to the coun- try and peopie which has come from (he establisn- ment of street railways in Brazil, and espectally in Rio Janeiro, I mention these as a few of the causes of later fer- mentation in the political organism of Brazil, and which, together, gives evident and ampie room for the disturbed state of politics and society, the ebui- lutions of which are seen every now and then, The failure of the complete reorganization of the Ministry, which, you may remember, was dissolved jn September last, 18 due, undoubtedly, to tne dimi- culty of complying with the demand tor persons who shall be euttrely acceptable to the people. All this 1s a sort Of preambie—yet not hall covering the ground, and still much longer tuan I presumed it woula be—to say that in such a state and von- dition of things, the probable near departure of tne Emperor from the country, has been and con- Unues to be ample cause for the rumblings of the politica thunder and the flashing of the political bolts, Not until lately nas the visit of the Emperor seemed so probable as to Warrant the public debate, in the papers and out, of the propri- @ty or prudence of such a course, But it 1s the most reasonable thing in the world. Dom Pedro IL., in his physical construction, 1s simply a ptece of masculine humanity, and nothing more, sunject to all the tastes and desires and pains and fatigues as Well as other inortals and of bis more fortunate sudjects who are not emperors. Taere Is & large class of people who seem to forget this, and woo appear to think that emperors are specially endowed with gigantic power to enable them to bear the terripie burden of oMcial care with no fatigue or Tourmuring; and particulariy in thts case they seem to think the broad shoulders of the Emperor are like tue pillars of Hercules, which, if lor a time removed, the State wilt come tuiubilng down Into chaos and confusion, As a ruler, and having the welfare of his peopie at heart, and holding na- tional affairs high avove all personal considerations, there are none, | think, who will doubt ¢ are marked qualities of Dom Pedro IL Which is annually allowed him is barely suf maintain the unselled royalty which the nation de- mands, and which, it is generally conceded by those who kuow the Ewperor best, he would gladly Jay aside, He is benevolent and generous to a fault: 80 of nis desires that, his private means falling sho to give on every hand, he has been obliged to make loans of his wealthy personal friends, and these devts forin one of the obstacies to his ieaving the country; for Brazilian law prevents any of its sub- jects, Or those residing under its provecuion, ever to eave the place, town, city or Aarne. until thetr ecuniary obligations are cancelled, ard Dom Pedro 1, 18 too consistent to leave anything behind him yan, luke thts, Would make a cause ior murmur- ng. ine Emperor embarked theroughiy and com- pletely into the Paraguayan war. He gave his lume, purse, thought and energy to st, and it may be sald almost bore solely and eniirey the respoust- bilities of {ts conduct and prosecution, and against Tings and combinations and conspiracies which blocked his way and prolonged the war and filled many pirate covers. He, with the material ass ance of his son-ln-law, the Conde d’£u, husband of the Princess Imperiai, and later comuanuer-in- chet of the a carried the war to a successfal termination; but it brought him gray hairs ana many wrinkies, and in lls physical appearance an addition of fifteen years to his life. It was @ severe struggle to him, hampered aud opposed, as he was, by tuose who sould have been scrong to assist him, Not having recovered from the prostrating effect of the War he has desired change, and such a change as only decided withdrawing from the affairs of state and experience in other Janus could conser, and uever having been out of Brazil tls visit to Furope has long peen with hima matter of much thought and consideration. Another and important cause of his desire for ab- sence is the failing health of his estimabie wife, the Emprese, Though of heavy framo and somewhat robust in appearaace, yet she has the seeds of dis- ease within her Which seem inseparavie from the members of tne Bourbon family, and ehe, as the siyter of Bomba, ex-King of Naples, seems to mave inherited her full share. Tt ts said, too, that there are evidences of the beginning of that (rightful dis- ease so pecuular to Brazil, the elephanuasia, It is certainly to be hoped that she is not to become a cripple from that horrivle and loathsoine disease and deformity. Still another and a very pressing and urgent need of his going to Europe.is to see to the health, weifare and lutore of his grandchikiren, the litte sous of lis second daughter, Princess Leopoidina, the wife of the young Duke of Saxe, who died in Vienna on the 5th or March last, leaving three young boys, It iy sald that the Duke ef Saxe, wno was married to the Princess Leopoldina in 1867, took a fever uuring the prosecution of the Paraguayan war because he was hot permitted to enter it eitber as oMlcer or private, and, having no special afection or respect for the Brazilians, took his young wile aud went to Euro deciaring he would never again return to Brazil. It was during this resilience in Europe, and 80 lately as March, that his young wife, Princess Leopoidinag and Duchess of Saxe. died, Her death hae a peculiar significance and & marked relation to the future of Brazil, os the Prine cess Imperial having had no chilaren, tough married many years, aud giving no promise of having any, in the event of the deata of Dom Pedro IL, the eider living of these little boys, sons of the Princess Leo- poldiua, becomes the kinperor of brazil, and bis Wellare 1s a matter of infinite unpertance. The constitution of Brazil does not permit the Em- peror to absent himself from the country without & special enactment from the Legisiuuve Chamvers conferring upon him the privilege and making atnple provis.oa during his absence. This provision would piovably Consist in namiug the V’riucess im- perial as Regent, and one of the questions now agi- tating tne public mind ts whether it should be & regency, with full powers—as would be the case durlag the term of the minority of the little son of Princess Leopoldina—or whether % should @ reswicted and limited regency. [tis believed that the Emperor would be giad to have it made a regency with 1ull powers, as that would give hun opportunity aud excuse for ab- dication, of which it is confidentUy thought he would like to avail himseif and thus get rid of the cares of state and empire, which,as he has been an honest man, have set heavily upon him. The lin. perial Leyisiature meets in May, and the first busl- ness Wil undoubiedly be the granting Of permiasion for the Emperor's absence, and making provision for tt. ‘The Princess Iinperial and her husband, the Conde d’Ku, have been absent Europe since November, They are expected back this mouth, as of course it Would be impossible for the kmperor to tuink of leaving while tne Princess im. perlal was away. There promises to ve some agitation on this Subject, and there are those who think that the permission for the Emperor to go may be refused, 1n which cage there 1s no doupt he will completely and entirety abdicate and go any- way, and probably not to return. The kmperor finds less accordance between himself and the peo- pile, or at least the government, than is agreeabie, and gives evidence of the cherishing of an opinion that his labors and efforts have not been appre- Clated, in which opinion { am confident he ts right. Again, it is thought, and by those who have good reasons for the faith that is within them, that the absence of the Emperor will be the occasion of great changes in the government—possibly peacetul, pos- sibly violent—wuich will entirely change the siatus of people ana rulers, While [ think nothing of this Kind need occasion serluus apprehension, yet 1 am conscious that it is more than possi- ble, and any radical and uncommon occurrence, like this of a long absence of tae Emperor, may be the time for change, But really I have litte faith that there 1s sufficient energy in the whole or enough of the people of Brazil to effect this change without the assistance of some radical, conspicuous and capable man a3 a leader, and certainly no indtvi- dual answering those specitications 1s lying around here loose any where now. The Emperor is unxiousto see America, If py any causes ie should abdicate, I am informed by those who may know that a visit to America Is among the certainties, If he does not abdicate, and the proper steps are taken to secure his going to America, he may be prevgiled upon to visit the Great Republic, and the people of the United States may, ff they wish todo so, consider such an event highly reasonavie, and not only very possible but probable; and the question, not ‘fave we a Bour- bon among usy’—but “Have we a Hapsburg- Braganza among ua?’ (and a Itve Emperor, too,) Cwu be answered tn the aflirmative. THE NEWARK MEADOWS. Meeting of Owacrs tn Orange Yesterday— Arraignment of the Late Legislature and the Driggs Alleged Drainage Swindle—The Herald Properly Appreciated. At the Orange Hotel, Orange, N. J., yestereay, there was held a well-attended meeting of meadow owners, called for the purpose of devising measures and taking action looking to a combiued and for- inidable opposition to the obnoxious act known as the Driggs Drainage bill, the provisions of which were thoroughly ventilated recently in the HERALD. The meeting organized with Judge Jesse Williams mm the chair, Mr. A. F. Tillou acting as secretary. In accordauce W:th a resolution to that effect a Salt Meadow Owners Association was formed, and the following permanent oMcers elected:—Pnilander Baul, President; Aaron B. Brown, Treasurer; Francis M. Tichenor, Secretary, An executive commitiee was also app ed, consisting of J. Smith, Ira Harrison, Ira Kilburn, E. Ham, J. L. Baldwin, A. C. Taylor, R. H. Ball, George CG. Freeman. after considerable informal discussion the following pre- amble anid resolutions were unanimously adopted, and a copy ordered to be seat to the NEW YouK HERALD and the Newark daily paper: Whereas the Leyisiature of New Jersey, by an unjest usurpation of power, have authorized a band of speculators called the Driggs Dr 2 Compas experimeat on the drainage of the Newark and Lilzabeth meadows, and have authorized the xppolatment of commissiouera to bind the salt meadow owners by a contract to pay tor such experi- ment; and Whi joners have entered into a con- tract wit!

It is legal because it d rovide tor au ry upon the basis eneiits conterrea; be arbitrary sum of about $155 per acre, whether the land wm benetited to that amount or not. Tt is illegal because the law which author- 4zed it {s unconstitutional it 1s the taking of private property, nob for public uses, but for the private protit of the Driggs Drainage Comp At is tilegal because the meadow owners are pot receiving the protection from an unjust contract which the charter of the Origcs Drainage Company intended they should nave, Be it, therefore, Kesolved, Toat we will resiat with every legal and proper means the takiug of our property in such au unjust and ille- gal manner.
