The President having emphatically declared that New York should not have the office of Secretary o¢ the Treasury, the opinion prevails that ex- Senator Chandler will be Mr. Bristow’s successor.

CARRUTH STILL LIVING—THE CASE TURNED OVER TO HOMMOPATHIC PHYSICIANS-—RETIRE- MENT OF DB. GROSS—NATURE OF THE WOUND AND DIRECTION OF THE BULLET— WHAT THE COUNSEL OF LANDIS INTEND TO Do. VINELAND, N, J., March 22, 1875, Mr. Carruth’s condition 1s very slightly im- proved to-night, and his chance for life is despe- rate. Dr. John C. Morgan, of Philadelphia, an eminent homeopathic physician, arrived this morning, summoned by the wounded man’s de- sire, Shortly aiterward Dr. Gross, the physician sent by Mr. Landis, came in the train, but relin- quished the case upon finding Dr. Morgan tn charge. Dr. Morgan, in consultation with Drs. ‘lulier and Wiley, came to the conclusion the best course of treatment for the present 1s to allow the bullet to remain; the danger in this case is that erysipel- atons inflammation may ultimately set in and then coma and death. If the builet is extracted there is the risk of sudden exudation of blood from the wound and the immediate death of the patient. This latter alternative he seemed to think the most dangerous, and for the present has chosen the former. CONDITION OF THE WOUND. The brain has collapsed over the track of the bullet and it 1s impossible to trace it, Dr, Morgan inserted a probe, but only penetrated to the depth ofabout an inch, The wound is in the back of the head, a little to the right of the median line, and the ball took an upward course. Ecchymosis of the upper eyelid las increased, and ihe swelling Might indicate that the ball has gone through to that portion of the head, The patient suffers from | partial blindness, veing only able to see from one eye. i THE MYSTERY OF TRE SHOOTING. When it is considered that Landis was not more than eight teet away wnen he fired the shot; that | 1be bail Was an unusually heavy one and the revol- ver a powerful Weapon, it seems almost unexplain- able that the missile should have lodged in the brain and not gone entirely through the head, COUNSEL FOR THE PRISONER. Mr. Landis’ counsel will be Messrs. William Brewster, William Potter, J. Boyd Nixon, Wilham A. House and KE. M. Turner. One of these gentle- men 1s in almost constant consultavion with him, but every one else 1s refused access to him, except his wife and some of his most inumate iriends. His wile drives over to see him dally. It 1s the intention of Landis’ lawyers, If there is any change for the better in Carruth’s coudition, to make an effort before a judge at Bridgeton jor a writ of habeas corpus and to have him released on bail. itis extremely probuble that the delence will be provocation ieading 10 great mental excitement, Landis Loxists that le did speak to Carruth betore he fired, asking him if he wrote the article, Which Carruth answered that he did, and would do it again. The witnesses to the shooting all declare that they heard uo words. THE TORNADO IN GEORGIA. Aucusta, March 22, 1875. Rev. J.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., March 22, 1875, The water is gradually falling across the Kings- ton Flats, Pedestrians have been crossing between Kingéton and Wilkesbarre all day. The ice 1s treacherous in places and several persons broke through, and there were two or three nar- Tow escapes from drowning. Reports from Kingston snow great alarm existing among its Inhabitants, and the people residing in the lowest parts of the town have been busy today io moving their effects to places of safety. In’ addition to flooding ceilars and doing otuer d: fe im the borough, the water and ice hav jured many farms. Acres of wheat bave been destroyed, orchard: broken down anda fences crushed and swept awa: ‘There is no change im the = and no immedi- ate danger, but the inhabitants o1 the lowlands are acting wusely in preparing for the ex) ected danger. The day has been cleur but cold. The thermometer at nine o’ciock this evening indl- cated eighteen degrees above zero. All trains are again run on the Lehigh Valley road, and hun- dreds of persons take advantage or it to visit the @esolated region around Coxton and the Ramson gorse further north. The Lackawauna and joomsburg road made through trips for the first time to-day, by means of the Lenigh Valley, be- tween here and Pittston, ‘The mails now run regularly. It was two degrees below zero at Pittston this morning, and it was dif_icult to keep a chamnei open for boats to cross the river.

THE RIVER NOT CLEARED BETWEEN PORT JERVIS AND THE GAP—CONSIDERABLE ALARM AT AND BELOW SHOEMAKER'S—REMINISCENCES OF THE LAST FLOOD—A THRILLING NARRA- TIVE OF AN ESCAPE. Port JERVIS, March 22, 1875. Telegraph communication has veen renewea between this piace and Milford, the wires being stretched across the river to-day. ceived to-day irom below is to the effect that the reported clearing of the river between here and the Gap is not correct, All the ice that passed Port Jervis, and all that went out below tor thirty miles, is jammed in Shoemaker’s Eddy, six miles this side of the Water Gap, ana extends back | eighteen miles, filling the river from bank to bank When it formed a serious inunaation occurred on both sides of the river for miles, Farms, some of the richest in tbe valley, have been 80 badly damayed by the ploughing ice that hun- dreds of acres wili be entirely ruined. Orchards, vineyards, &c., bave been destroyed; acres of | trees and vines being torn out by tae rvots or broken down, Fences, outbuildings, lumber and all movable property have sudered the same jate as those in tne vicinity of this place aud up the river. BELOW SHOEMAKER’S. Below Shoemaker’s the ice 1s broken up as far as Brodiiead Hotel. this side of the Gap, and is loaged there. Bewween tne hotel and the Gap the ice is as soild in the river as it as been at any time this winter and is crossed by people living there. ‘Tue have veen s0 spent by the time it reacued Shoemaker’s that it Was unabie to force the mass of ice and drift further, and when a passage was made through the eighteen miles of packed ice for tue Water to escape Irom above—which it did much the same as when the gorge formed here, through tie interstices of the 1ce—the river jell rapidly unt there 1s now but an ordinary flow of water. ALARO AT SHOEMAKER’S. This great gorge at Shoemuker’s {is causing great alarm as far up as Dingman’s, Pa., and ail exposed property 18 being made as secure as | | possible. THE LAST FLOOD. There never was knowu an ice gorge in that locality buts once belore, and that was nearly one hundred yeurs ago, in 1776, Tne ice formed a gorge at the Water Gap in that year and be.ore it broke the whule couniry between there snd Port Jervis, torty miles, was floo Meny lives were lost. Aman named DeWitt lived about four miles beiow here on the Peunsylvauia side of the river, near the bank. Beside nimself and bis family he gad six slaves. ‘the water surrounded his house and barns belore any could escape. Mrs. De Witt climbed upon a huge cake of ice that was noaung siowly by the door, and it being caught in eadying water Was carried to land and ste escaped. Mr. DeWitt swam to an apple tree and climbed to 1ts top. to the Pennsylvania boundary of tne flood and escaped With his ive, but Was badly jammed. The SIX Slaves aud several head oO: cattie, sheep and hogs were drowned. ‘the slaves tried to escape to the baru, and were swept away by the flood, they beimg unable to swiin. was the late Lodawock DeWitt, of Westfall town- ship, Pike county, Pa., who died about twelve years ago, aged nearly one hundred years. FEARS AT THE GAP. Not only above Shoemaker, but at the Gap and | all down, 1s the apprehension felt. Notn- | ing but high water can take the vast | accumulation of ice away, and it is feared that before it moves an inundation of most destructive proportions willensue. Judging | | trom the events 01 the pastiew days it cannot be said that these fears are groundiess. Tuere are several Villages along the river in imminent dan- ger {rom this last great worge, and the Columbia and Easton bridges ore not more secure than were those which were swept away above.

The rope ferry to transfer through passengers piace to trains on the other side of tne river, at the site of the late, brdige, was compteted esterday, aud the passengers arriving here ou io. 6 this ‘afternoon were tue first transferred.

In it the reattties of life are so mingled with the poetie that | our judgment aud feeling become involved, and we are carried along by the sweetness and beauty of the story past the snags of improba, bility that we see but heed not. Davy Crockett is one of the most charming creations of the modern stage; to see him is to love him; and we pity the man or woman thatis not moved by his simple Manliness and unconscious hervism.
