ErOuDieS Still Continuing.
Last night the Sheriff of st. Bernard,
Antoine Challaire, brought to the Parish
Prison, in this city, eleven prisoners from
his parish, accused of being participants in
the recent riots there. Two of them are
white men, both of whom are Justices of
the Peace, named William Gattschalk and
Frank Gleason; the rest are negroes.
1t appears that these two white men, to-
gether with their colored associates, Cyp-
rian Joseph, Nathaniel Taylor, William
Quincy, William Simms, Thomas Drew,
Isaac Dunbar, John Baierre, Pitt Ellis and
Adam Laire, are the leaders Of the Radical
element in that locality, and have been
since the riot industriously employed in
stirring up dissension and melting the ne
negroes to renewed and repeated acts Of
outrage against the planters.
A few nights ago they went to a gentle
mans house, ordering him TO leave; an
other man they attempted to kill. The two
white men are the worst characters in the
parish, and the Sheriffs say are more deeply
responsible than any other in bringing
about the troubles there. Our reporter
visited the prison this morning, and
through the kindness of Mr.. Emile Ruez,
the officer in charge, was permitted to see
the prisoners. They are desperate look
ing set of men and bear in their counte-
nances evidences of the consummate viii
lainy that has distinguished their conduct

A LIZARD FOUND IN A WOMAN'S
STOMACH

On Monday last we were shown phial
containing a living lizard, which, it is
supposed, had been in a woman $ stomach
for nearly two years, DR.. Middleton, of
Flora, had been attending married wo,
man for about eighteen months. She was
troubled with a gnaBing sensation in the
stomach, and sometimes a jumping or
palpitating there; her appetite was ir-
regular, at times totally gone. TONES
and other medicines were given but they
afforded no relief. On Sunday last live
lizard passed away 1t is needless to say
that the woman got immediate relief and
is now rapidly improving in health. The
lizard is about four inches long, and ex-
actly like those seen in Canadian swamps-
beautifully spotted with black on an or
ange ground, and was active and lively

Filthy. Prejudice their minds against
the fact that the native Southerners are
their friends, poison every friendly rela-
ton existing between the two races, and
state that they only allow them to work
their farms for profit, and the fear that the
| Republican party would eonfscate them
and give them to the negroes. Impress
upon their minds that the lands rightly
belong to them, .exhort them, however,
not to attempt to possess them at present,
but never allow them to lose sight of their
imaginary and assumed ownership. De-
nounce the Conservatives, and convince
them that it is this power alone that is
keeping them out of possession. They are
avaricious and stupid enough to credit
this.
Sixthly, You must abuse the Democ-
racy by calling them "Copperhesds,"
Rebels, "Secessionists," Traitors, ""Slave-
holders" ETC., and educate the negroes to do
the same and rather than arrest any i'll |
feeling, irritate it and unite the negroes on |
the side of their race. You can thus be |
instrumental in provoking a riot, and we |
will make the most of it in the campaign.
A riot now, such az was inaugurated in
New Orleans and Memphis, is what we
want and need Should you find the ne
groes, after argument, disposed to be peace

SAVANNAH, Nov. 3.-The negroes APP
peared in great numbers when the polls
opened this morning, and took entire pos
session of the polling places. This con-
tinued until about seven o'clock, every
white man who came to vote being dubbed
away. Finally a 6ght commenced, and
the negroes were driven back by the
whites, who then commenced to vote. In
few minutes the negroes rallied and at
tackled the whites. A negro deliberately
drew pistol and shot policeman in the
stomach, mortally wounding him. The
firing then became general in the crowd.
The police came to preserve order, but the
negroes fought them SO desperately that
the police finally drew their pistols, when
the negroes broke and run. Five negroes
were killed and several wounded. -Four
policemen we're wounded, one MORALLY,
A youngAady residing in house opposite

TEE COTToS CROP.

| A correspondent Of the New York
Herald, wiring from Atlanta, Ga, give:
what is evidently a carefully prepared
estimate of the present cotton crop. We
give the following summary Of his views
and speculations:
On the whole larger area of land was
Planted In cotton this year than was last
year. Not in all the States, it 10 true, but
n Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas,
tennessee, and probably Louisiana, this
was the case. If the boil worm and cater
pillar had not committed their ravages and
other sources OF injury had remained away,
the crop might have touched two million
seven hundred and fifty thousand bales.
He therIdescribes the injuries done ly
drought, by the ca!erpillars, and by the dis
organized state of labor. He says:
d, To sum up The injury done to the crop
the following estimate will, l think, be
found tolerably correct. In Georgia thres-
eights of the cotton planted has been
destroyed in Alabama the same; in
Florida two-eights; in Mississippi the
anne; in South Carolina three-gights; in
louisiana tEo-eights; in Arkansas Id
tennessee the same; in Texas one-eighA.
n North Carolina and Virginia bat little
otton IS grown, and in those States the
smage has been triiing.
ESTIMATE OF THE PRESENT CROP.
To form fair estimate Of the probable
ield this year, it will be necessary to
Ike glance at the last crop. The as
ertaiued yield of 1865 was a. follows:

But while the sea island crop is Ia
mentable failure, it is nevertheless true
that the other descriptions of cotton are
of an unusually fair description this year.
The long fine staple, which will readily
bring thirty.five cents per pound, has been
more extensively grown than for several
years past and will have the effect Of
greatly increasing the money value Of the
crop. Had a little pains been taken by
the planters in properly culiivating the
soil, the quality would no. only have been
much better than the best average year,
but tie yield would have been considerably
augmented, in spite Of caterpillars, bolI
worms and the numerous other evils which
have attended the growth Of the cotton.

The return for Louisiana embraces the
yield o. Mississippi and part Of Arkansas,

ported for Virginia is probably 10000

actual receipts will prove my correctness.

increased yield. After obtaining all lie

WASHINGTON, NoV.2-The statement Of a
New York journal that Seward had cable
advices that mixed commission of sixteen
persons had been agreed on for adjustment
Of the Alabama claims by England is I'M.
founded. The President regards the idea
az an absurdity. He thinks that 4 number
of persons would never agree on any one
question, and before they concluded their
labors a score or more new claims would
be brought up before them.
The removal of Gen. Reynolds, for his
audacious interference with the judiciary
in Texas, is near at hand. He will, in
day or two, be assigned TO a position
where he will be apt to view questions in
a military rather than legal aspect.
The Attorney General was closeted for
several hours with the President to day,
on matters of Importance so great that
they will command the attention of the
country. Interesting developments may
be expected Immediately after the cleo

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-It is announced
semi-officially that orders will be Issued
on Wednesday by the President removing
General Reynolds from the command Of
the district of Texas.
The President expresses himself as
greatly pieased with that portion of Sc
wards Auburn speech in which his policy
is go vigorously defended, but is evidently
disappointed at his quasi-declaration for
Grant, and regards this latter as a bid for
position under Grant in the event of his
election.
The statement of the public debt will
not be issued before Wednesday. The
Radicals have brought quite pressure to
bear to induce the authorities to hold it
back until after the election, as they
claimed that the Democrats would en-
deavor to make capital out of the increase
it is likely to show. The total receipts of
customs for the week will fall short of
$I4,OOO,OO0, while the revenue receipts
will not reach S9,000,000.
