iSiRna

New ORLEANS, July l4.-After his inau-
guration yesterday, Governor Yarmouth
sent communication to General Buchanan
officially notifying him of the ratification of
the fourteenth article and of his own inau-
guration. On receiving this communion
ton General Buchanan issued an order, of
which the following is an extract:
"The commanding General having been
officially notified Of the ratification of the
fourteenth article of amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States by the
Legislature Of the State of Louisiana on the
9th instant, it becomes his duty under the
act of Congress which became D law June
%, 1868, and the orders of the General of
the army, to announce to the people of the
State and to the troops under his command
that the provisions Of the reconstruction
act of Congress cease to operate in Louisi-
ana from this date. Military authority
will no longer be exercised under the recon
struction acts in said State, and all officers
commanding posts or detachments are for
hidden to interfere in civil affairs unless
upon q proper application by the civil au-
thorities to preserve the peace, or under in
structions duly received from the command
ing General of the district. Military law
no longer exists, and civilian is supreme"
All civil officers acting under military
appointments are directed to transfer their
offices to thsir successors who have been
elected and qualified under the laws Of the
State. The order congratulates the people
of Louisiana on their restoration to the
Union, and expresses good wishes for their
future prosperity.

THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND
LUTnERANs IN THE UNITED STATEs.-Pro-
fessor Scholl was delegate from the Lu,
theran General Synod to the General Synod
of the Reformed Church, and in addressing
that body gives the following statement OF
the members and strength of the Lutheran
Church in this country
ave have had o home in this land for
two hundred years, working not alone
through those who came from Germany, but
from Holland also. Our General Synod was
organized in 1920. l bring you the greet
ings of % synods, $40 minister's, 949
churches, and 10000 members. Nor is this
the strength of our Church in this country.
We hope to be all united. The General Sy-
nod of our Church is only adVisory-a Vo-
luntary association. There is also another
General Synod in the South, consisting of
six synods, 100 ministers, PA churches, and
1000 members.
"The General Council, o part OF which
was once connected with US, through the
mother Synod of Pennsylvania, formed its
organization last. 1t has twelve synods,
53S ministers, l,0l0 churches, and lis, 900
members. There are ten other synods, not
connected with any of these, having 523
ministers, 944 churches, and l09, 900 mem
bers. The entire number of our ministry
is 1850; our synods, so; 3,ll2 churches,
and membership of a third of million.
These branches differ somewhat. We re-
ceive the Augsburg Confession. The Gene.
raj Council receives also the Formula OF
Concord, the Apology of the Augsburg Con-
fession, and the Catechism Of Luther"

Governor Holden ON the Rampage
He AppIies for Military Aid.

RALEIGH, N. G., July l4.-Goyernor
Holden yesterday, without notice, appoint
ed new Board of Commissioners for this
city, thus without law supplanting the pre-
sent municipal authorities.
The authorities thus attempted to be sup
planted referred the case to able counsel
Messrs. B. F. Moore, E. G. Haywood, and
Judge Morrow, Of this city, who were
unanimous in the opinion that the Governor
is acting illegally, and 30 advised the au-
thorities. The commissioners then notified
the new Board that they should not give
their places to any save legally-elected or
appointed commissioners.
1t is rumored that Governor Holden has
called on General Candy to afford him mill
tary support to enforce his order.
No one here is disposed to resist lawful
authority, but Governor Holden is doing
several things which the people believe he
has no authority to do; and it is with them
n question Of duty whether to submit
longer to what is not law or to test the claim
of unlawful authority, no matter by whom

IMPORTANT DECISION IN ExTRADITIoN.-
Buffalo, July 13.-The following decision
by Judge Hall, of the United States Circuit
Court, on the Certiorari and habeGS corpus
in the notorious extradition case of Charles
H. Baker, which was argued by Messrs.
Swartz and Benedict for the Queen Of Eng
land, and by Messrs. Box and Parker for
the prisoner, on Friday last, will be i'm
portant to the legal profession. The Judge
saws foreign conviction under the statutes
of the State of New York does not render a
witness incompetent, as the statute has re-
ference to conviction under the laws of the
State. The statutes of New York provide
that the Governor or Legislature may par
don the convict, and thus restore his com
potency. This could not be done in case
of foreign conviction. However, l am
of opinion that the same result would be
reached if the case was governed by
the rules of evidence Us it stood previous &c
the statutes of this State, as q foreign con-
viction in the year 1889 would not render
such person incompetent. The following
important questions of law were fully signed
That decision could not be taken under the
extradition treaty, because cases so arising
are not offences against the United States.
but simply under the treaty. Second,
whether United States Circuit Court has
appellate Jurisdiction from the decision OF
United States Commission Third, how
far the Circuit Court could review the evil
dence on csrtiorari and habeas corpus. The
prisoner was remanded to the custody OF
the United States Marshal, and will be re-
moved to Canada on Wednesday or Thurs
day next.

The excitement about the gold mines Of
Alaska is at fever heat, and no doubt of
their great extent and richness is enter
tanned here. Some have gone, and many
others are preparing. But in the mean
time report hos reached here that the
House will reject Alaska. If SO, it would
produce feeling here wilder than the gold
fever. All parties here, withouta dissent
ing voice, are for Alaska. We all believe
it will bring in British Columbia, and if
Alaska is rejected, it will excite deep and
universal indignation, and q profound
feeling that Congress is sectional and un-
Just. What have the Pacific States done to
merit the refusal to extend our limits on
this great ocean? If Alaska is lost, this

SUDDEN DEATH.-An e1empliication OF

fell to the pavement in o spasm, on the
corner of Royal and Cameron streets. He
was Immediately carried into the City
Hotel, but was dead by the time he reached
his room. He never spoke, but only
gasped few times after he was seized
Deceased was son of Judge Tyler, of Eau
quier, and had served with gallantry in
the late war. He was gentleman of ge-
NAL temperament, kindly feelings, popu.
lar manners, and good address, and had
many friends. His age was about thirty

complete it.-Alerandria Journal.
