.THEATRE-Miss Avonia jones' rendition
of the character Of Camille, last evening at
Deering Hall, was a splendid performance,
and it won the plaudits Of the large and fash
ionabe audience assembled. The character
has been frequently performed here by various
actresses; but we have never seen it done SO
well as 1t was by Miss Jones.
This evening will be produced for the first
time here the new drama of "Leah, the For
saken, n.-Miss Jones personating the Jewish
Maiden .sLeah." The managers have been at
CO siderable extra expense in order to have
this play properly produced. New scenery,
got up expressly for 1t. will be added, and the
orchestra will be enlarged BY the addition OF
some Of the members of Poppenburg' Band.
A crowded house will be the result, aud those
who wish to enjoy good seats will be wise to
secure them early today

of announcing that Gen. Candy, when in

by Chaplain Callahan, of the Freemen's
Bureau, with the administration Of Justice
in Bessier parish, and the arrest of Judg
Weems by his order, promptly issued an
order suspending Callahan from the exer-
else of his official functions until the
charges against him we're investigated.
We now have equal pleasure in laying
before our readers the sollowing brief
but cheering article, taken from the
Shreveport News of the Both ult., to which
we need not add any words of ours. 1t
speaks for itself, and will give pleasure
far and wide to ell who wish to see again
the supremacy of civil Law throughout
this great country:

suit Of the case of Judge. Weems. Civil law is
