A STRONG KprrORIAL. The Evening Democrat in Its leading editorial, and referring to the probabilities of Governor Packard attempting to retake the courts and stations says:. "Mr. Packard, however, is playing a dangerous game; the patience of the people is well nigh exhausted, and if they are forced into a conflict which is calculated and designed to again rob them of the rövcmor of their c hoice, and the blessings of honest and efficient administration, their wrath will be difficult to restrain, and we, for one, hope no hand will be able to restrain it. If Mr. Packard forces this condict we appeal to our friends to spare a far aa final and complete victory will permit the, lives of these metropolitan and negro dupen. We advise them to let the full weight of their vengeance fall upon the leaders of this iniquitous, murder oi and most damnable schem; to follow Packard into his hotel, and, if need be, into the custom house itself, and hang him from its highest window. PACKARD AKS At'GUR FOR IIKLP. Governor Packard to-day made an official requisition upon General Augur, for assistance to reinstate the supreme court in the building from which thev had been dispo-sesse-d.

This h what happened to the Nice correspondent of the London Standard when lit ly travel ins in the I talk an peninsula: Closy to this ruin lies the only new thing the groat village can show a Circassian colony, whih guards the entrance into the pass to the east. A snow storm, which at such a height is not without dr.nger, compelled us to begin our night at 2 o'clock .in ilia liu ihil im to luv Ht ilu klmn hn - onlv'rooiu was scarcely six feet high, with a window pasted over with paper, not even . oiled to make it more transarenL i Only to find a place to sit down in we . had to light the candles we brought with us. i The situation was anything but agreeable, ; especially when more and more guests were , driven into the house by the storm, and we ! were packed ns close as herring. But my j deliverance aoon came. ' In the viHage the j ne-rs rapidly spread that a Frank had ar- j rived, and under the pretense of drinking; eotfee one Turk after another dropped in. ; Among the curious was also a Circassian, ' and hp wa not a little pleased to find his i old comrade in the war. the "lrgliz." In! the greatest haste he ran to tue colony, and j soon a deputation of Circassians appeared to ; invite me, of course by signs, to go to the colony. I was glad enough V) accompany then ; and was taken to th- house of the director oi ' the community. Outside it did not diHer much from the straw-thatched cottages j round it, but the interior looked comforta- j ble from the carpets spread about. I was j recaled first with couee. and then w ith warm milk, in which coarse maize bread had been j crumbied, the ordinary food of the Circas- j sian. I w.i in good spirits, and patiently j bore the somewhat rough hand shakings which one after another of my old com- j radesgaveme; little did I dream that the j greatest embarrassment of my whole life awaited me. I do not know exactly what happened, as we could only exchantr" a few ; substantives ana innmcives wicn eacn oiner; 1 only remarked that the old men of the community were having a lively discussion and frequently looked in my direction. They then went out, and one man soon reappeared; behind him a pretty young girl of about 1 1, who squatted at my feet, and did not venture to look at me. The gestures of the old man plainly indicated that the girl was to be mine. In my youth 1 have certainly rave l alout Circassian slaves, but now I am too old to appreciate their value. And then, not to speak of my leinga married man I was on my way home, and could not take the girl home with me. All Circassian girls are brought up in the hope of entering the haretn of the sultan or els.? of a paHia, and so living in the midst of an imaginary splendor, and accordingly they feel unhappy in a simple life, une ot my acquaintances, a major, bought a Cir-ei.s-ian many years ago, it being tae fashion then to have at least one; but she tormented him with complaints of pretended depriv ations and outbreak ot jealousy to such a degree that he was obliged to get rid of her. I refused, with great politeness, ine oner made to me. but the man replied to me in dignantly what be said of course I do not know. I pave him to understand mat i naa not money enough to buy the girl, but again received an indignant reply, which seemed to indicate that the whole parish made me a E resent of the girl and paid her father for er. And with that the old man went away and left me alone with the girl. - The snow 9torm had made me so dead tired that I immediately fell asleep, quite regardless; of my companion. Wnen i awone tne gin was squatted in the same place, but had fallen asleep, and her fair . head rested on the divan. 1 drew out my little dictionary and turned over the leives to find some word to help me. or a savlne thought in vain! The girl awoke, looked at me shyly and entreatingly. and kissed my feet; it senied as if she had no greater longing than to be reiea3ea irom the smoky mud house that served her as home. She went out and brought me some coffee, which I slowly sipped, thinking all the time of some way out ot the dimcutty. I could think of none, but Ibrahim watched over me. tie naa icarnea a great neai nuring the week he spent in German lodgings in Nish, and was able to judge of my position. Armed with a eood dose of common sense he might have said to me what the shepherd said to the bishop in tne oia Scottish ballad What you. learned man, with gold have not gninea. That have I long ago from my good mother learnod." He represented to the Circas.sian. as I learned through the dragoman at Bazardchik. that I bad no house in fiUmboul, would only remain a few days there, and so could not take the girl with me, but that I should return, and would then take ' her with me to Nish. The Circassian agreed to that, and we parted the best of friends, only that my rieht shoulder was almost dislo cated from the hearty hand shakings. Cny Walter of the Mtnation, Washington IMopatch to Cincinnati Enquirer A rumor is current to-night that Brother-in-law Casey, who was in the city a few days ago, took with him to New Orleans an order to withdraw the troops from New Orleans, and that Casey w as authorized to use it in his discretion. The English of which is, that if the Nicholls legislature elects him to the United States senate he may give Angur the order to move up the Mississippi, and the Nicholls government will immediately become master of the situation, and will be recognized for the sake of peace to Louisiana as the de. fhcto govern ment: or - if the democrats decline, the re nublicans mav have an onwortunitv bv the same process t possess themselves of the undisputed possession oi the state. Mr. J. M. Ostrom, of the Cornell crew, is out in a letter explaining why it is not possible to have an international university race in this country.

LIFE iFTEil DiATE

A Parisian Phys'c'ari Succeeds in mating a Corpse. Rean' Ghawll.v SCorj of rretored Li f. Which Im Xot Life. 1 run.-ut.-d from a French Medicai Journal. ' Möns, le Dix-teur Bussv d'Alembert. a j noted French surgeon and physician, has lout held thnt. life mi'ht be nrolonued in definitely in some classes of patients; such, for instance, as those who have suffered no ' fatal lesion?, but who are perishing frm j ienemia or the degeneration and- noaprodue- i tion ot proper blood corpuscles. He hi boldly proclaimed his ability to even create I life, ör. more properly, revivify a body that j has been deplved of life from this cause, and he has maintained this pet theory with a perkisience deemed almost insane by Lis friend; , neglecting no opportunity to assert j his ability to demonstrate it. Until the 9th j chiy of this last November ho found no one j willing to accept as true his seemingly vis- j ionary theory, but having secured a suitable I patient for ex penmental purposes in the peron of M. Nathan Isaacs, a near relative, by the way, of the Baron llothcshild, he immediately proceeded to demonstrate the truth of his hitherto unsubstantial assertions. Mr. Isaacs, a wealthy Jew, was dyinjr of en a nimic disorder, and having heard of Dr. d' Alenibert's theory he sent for him on the date above mentioned, having discharged his family physician, and placed himself wholly nnder the care of Dr. d'A. Upon his arrival Dr. d'Alembert found his patient at the point of death, and more strongly to demonstrate the tenability of his belief, he determined to allow Mr. Isaacs to expire before trying his experiments. No stimulants being exhibited, Mr. Isaacs quietly breathed his lat on the morning of the 11th of November, at 4:.''J o'c lock. Dr. d'A.. who slept in the house, having been informed of this fact by one of the nurses, immediately had the body placed in the box, constructed with double walls packed with charcoal)and entirely covered with pounded ice, and then had it removed to his office, where, in the presence of Drs. Dupuy, Dion, Ettienne and Uicord ithc two latter members of the academy of ;cience he had the body removed from the box, wiped thoroughly dry and Jilaeed on a table, the top of which was onned of a plate of glass two inches in thickness. Two assistants th'n began with dry friction to shampoo the entire surface of the body; this being thoroughly done., the doctor made an incision, reaching to the spine at thp first vertebra and buried there a smooth copper plate attached to one wire of an electric battery. The incision was neatly sewed up, to hold the plate in place, and the cicatrix covered with collodium, or other tincture oi gun cotton. Another copper plate connecting with the same pole of the battery was buried at the base of the skull, and still a third, of zinc, con nected with the opposite pole of the battery was buried in a similar manner at the D&se of the sternum. Everything being in readi ness, an almost imperceptible stream of electricity was turned on, and so gradually increased that it was fully an hour before any twitching of the muscles couicl be discover ed. At intervals of five minutes the tongue was moistened with an elixir composed of cognac brandy of 180 per cent, proof, which had been rectified six times through filters of sand, charcoal and felL The tongue and fauces were moistened with lime juice and water to prevent excoriation of them by the strength of the liquor. At the end of an hour, as above stated, a slight tremor of the muscles became discernible; and at the end of the second hour very minute globules of perspiration could be seen with the mag nifying class noon the elands of the throat. exillar and groins. At this point artificial respiration was begun and kept up, To wards the close of the third hour the nesh had a moist feeling, the entire surface of the body being covered with a light perspiration. From this stage we deem it best to copy ver batim the diary of Dr. d'Alembert. Fourth Hour Breathing being establish ed, artificial respiration was discontinued. Time between exhalation and inhalation of the breath, twenty seconds though growing more natural. Fifth Hour Slight pulse; breathing all right: on forcing open the eyes, pupils found very much dilated; eyes not glassy. Sixth Hour Left in charge of attendants while phy icians were at dinner, no reliable notes of progress taken. seventh Hour Mtul improving; pulse reg ular though very weak; eyes open and shut of themselves. Eighth Hour Stimulation with brandy discontinued, a strong egg nog of goat's milk being substituted; steady progression. Ninth Hour A muttered attempt at speech. Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Hours No chance except that In the last half of the twelfth hour, immediately beiore a ngnt slumber, the patient called for "wife and Etta, (his child! Thirteenth and Fourteenth Hours Sound slumber, from which patient awoke re freshed, and began a conversation in a weak tone. Perfectly rational. From this point we shall resume the narrative, there being but little more to tell: The battery was kept attached to Mr. Isaacs and the stimulation continued, though at longer intervals and in larger quantities The most singular part of this truly "strange story" is the fact that, although Mr. Isaac recovered his intellect with the renewal of his life, yet his moral faculties were entirely dormant. When his wife and child were brought to him he evinced no emotion whatever, and while his memory recalled every incident of his former life and all of his acquaintances say that his conversations and ideas were more brilliant than ever before yet it was impossible to call up any association that was aught save indifferent to him. When informed of his mother's death (though he had been the most devoted of sons), he merely remarked: "Well, the was old enough, Heaven knows." Though formerly very devout in his observance of the Jewish religiod, he had become most blasphemous. He would not tell the truth if possible to lie, and seemed to take a most intense ' delight to steal and secrete about hii person any object, even of the most trivial -value. He made frequent attempts to rob the doctor of bis watch while bending over bini to administer stimulants, etc. Dr. ReynaultSt. Pierre, the highest Parisian authority on insanity and matters relating to the psychology and physiology of the baain, being called in, says that he can account for his condition only by supposing that while his intellect had bee u resumed along with his new lift? his f-onl bsd fled forever.

The lin mirer thus s-n-aks cf some incidents of the flood: The ice does qner things. The Utile steamer Hiram Walto: broke loose from Gardner's Landing and tl voted alongside of C ool hue's stone bare, where a hug'? mass of ice picked up tlie little bait and landed her itisidV of the barj'e, safe and sound. At the foot of .- gleston avenue a man mimed Culhert bad a family boat moored. Its inmates were himself, wife, rive children and a woman who was a friend of the family. When the ice brusc ?v.turl.iy niht C Ulbert and Iiis family and friend left the boat. About 3 o'clock yesttrday morning they returned and aain took possession of it, dunking that the heaviest of the ice fields had parsed and with them all dinger. They had not been long in the boat when an immence ice rhe came down with resistless force and tore the frail little cmft from her Pioorines. The father had iv.rely time to grasp one of his children in tin crms nnd leap to the ihore-ic w hen the boat was carried dow n stream, bearing with it the two women and four children. Tho-ov. ho saw the little twat pasi-irg the city state that the appeals for help from ita ill-fa'ed paeners were heartrending in the extreme. The Ia.it on of the boat and passengers was in the benl below Sodatuj-ville. The. boat diJ not seem to be materially injured by the ice, but it surely nnit have been 'unK: lat night. bout half-past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon an empty ewl barge, which had been torn from some of the up-river landings, came floating dow n r.midah':ge field of ice and struck the Kentucky channel pier of the Newport bridge. At first it look d as if she would drift "broadside, but ju.st tVfoj-e the pier was reached the current threw her head around and she quarterxl against it. When she struck her timber creaked and groaned, and for a moment it looked a3 if ,jhe would go to pieces at oabutshesliJ ofifand drifted down into the See apparently but little injured by her eontact with the solid masonry. This eight waa witnessed by hundreds of people who liivni both sides of the river. Just below Eggleston avenue Mr. W. II. Brown has a choic assortment of kindling wood, ground down by the ice out of several barges and flats. Several barges, keel boats and trading boat at this point have been crowded out on shore by the ice but this will not damage them to any jrreat extent. At Loniiville. Comparatively little damage was done at Louisville, preparation having be-en ma le by didodging much of the floating ice in the gorge. The Courier-Journal thus describes the process of ice fighting:- The recent pell of moderated weather, together with the sudden rise in the tributaries of the upp'r Ohio, have had the desired effect to acoomflish a movement in the gorges long looked or. In anticipation of a sudden break up, resulting probably in much damage to our harbor, the harbor boats, including the tow boat James Hobon, have twen aa busy as bees for several days, and the exhibited an unusual degree of activity yesterday. The towboat James Hobson, Captain Jim Hobson in command, went in" to right the iee night before la.t. and we tre happy to say her efforts were crowned with ftUeces, though the tight was a hard on. She succeeded yesterday, about 1 o'cl nk, in dislodging an immense field of short ice, extending from -the upper end of Tow-head island to a point below the foot of Six-mile island and the Indiana fhore. Thi maw of" about ten acres floated quietly down the middle of the river and jas.sed on over th falls without doing any damage. The absence from the Kentucky &hore of this immense field left a clear river from shore to shore from a point near the water works down to the falls, and steamboatmn felt that no matter how lieavy the gorge or when it came, there would be no danger, as the river was wide, the wind from the south, and the current strong from the Kentucky shore to the head of the falls. Great crowds of people were at the wharf yesterday, and after seeing tlie large body of ice over the falls, concluded that tb gcrge had broken, and they left the wharf satisfied. National Republican JGraut'o kitchen organ): We see a class springing up disposed to look toward a new elect ion to he held in November of this year. Should this be the condition of affairs, the question will soon arise, Who shall be the candidates of the respective parties? Of course Mr. Tilden will be on hand. We may safely calculate, also, that Hendricks and his Indiana voters will be in for it again. But hat of it. if republicans, tlie friends of Hayes and of all other gentlemen prominently named should conclude to have no fooling with the democracy, and proceed to nominate the "silent man" of the whito house? After an interregnum of a year the eople can again choose General Grant, if they so desire, merely to fill a vacancy of three year. In thia course of proceedings the cry of Cm arism will be unavailingly uttered. No one need object to this except the democracy. Genersl Grant is a sale man, and we all know it 71 would be elected by an overwhelming majority beyond peradventure.
