lie tranquility was for a short time disturb
ed in this capital by an uneA pected event.
The citizen Darfodr repaired TO the Cham
Der OF Representatives and presented a
memoir ial which aimed al the destruction
Of our institutions and the revolution Of
the state. This man, well known as
poss essing seditious aud dissatisfied cha
racter, has evinced in this circumstance
that he would stop short at nothing when
agitating conspiracy against the govern
ment and the prosperity Of the Republic.
This i0cendiary memorial was read and
listened to with horror and contempt by a
great majority OF the members OF the
Chamber. The people having understood
the contents OF the memorial, sailed forth
IN crow d. into different parts of the city
without any order from 6 Government. and
arrested the citizens Darfour, Beranger,
Laborde, Pierre, Andre, Noel Piron, st,
Martin and st. Laurent. These men, ac-
cused of conspiring against the govern
ment, have been conducted to the prison,
of the city, where they will have spec
dy trial. When that has taken place, the
public will be informed OF all the particu-
lars of this unfortunate circumstance.

The claim of DR.. B to the confidence

complexion and former occupation, all of
which fully denote the origin of the man, and
his acquaintance with the dark arts. The ma.

strongly, testify to the source from which he
rises; and are &C themselves sufficient to con-

OK the day. ,hst the oblsei Of tie AMEND
ment offered by MIR. Cook to the appropfi-
alton bill on Thursday last, and then ne
gatived, was to appropriate 60, Ooo doilafs
to pay for surveys of the public land 10
the states Of illinois and Missouri, and the
Territory Of Arkansas, which were made
under the direction Of William Rector, the
Surveyor General tor those states and ter.
riory, beyond the amount authorized to
be surveyed in consequence of misnter
probation Of the instructions of the Treasu-
ry Department. The grounds taken a.
gainst the making the appropriations. were,
that the surveys were unauthorized by law,
and that Congress was not bound 10 pay
for it, and that it had been represented
that the surveying was not well done, and
ought not, even IT authorized by law, 10 be
paid for. MIR. c. urged, at large, that an
honest mistake of the officer ought not to
be used to the prejudice of the honest Ia
borers who had surveyed the land under
contracts made with an officer acting in
the line OF bis duty, though by an honest
error he exceeded the amount Of appro
priation. Mr.. Cook said there was the on
ly legal evidence Of the manner in which
the work had been done. in its favor -
The plats, he understood, had been re-
turned and accepted; aud mere flying re-
ports of fraud should not override regular
and official evidence.
When Mr.. WaIworth made the report
from the Military committee, in the House
of Representatives relative to the reduc-
ton of the army in 1921, a few days ago,
Mr. Cooke made remark or two which
were at the time accidentally omit
ted to be published. He said that he took
leave to inform the house. that the report
now offered was the report Of majority
of only one of the committee; that this
majority was obtained by change OF the
members of the committee. When the
resolution directing the enquiry, whether
the act of the ed OF March, 1921, to re-
duce and fix the military peace establish
ment Of the United States, had been re-
spected and carried into effect, was refer
red 10 the Committee on Military Affairs.
a majority was then decidedly Of opinion
that the act had been disregar6ed.
