Death Of an Irish Novelist.

From the New York Evening Post, July o..
A cable dispatch announces the
death of Samuel Lover, the well
known Irish novelist; artist, song
writer and lecturer, at the age of
seventy-on
Mr.. Lover was born in Dublin in
1897, and was brought up ina com
mercial house; but finding business
an uncongenial pursuit he'gave 1t
up, and adopted that of literature.
Mr.. Lover however, not only wrote
well both in prose and verse, sang
his own songs with unctieh and
taste, and lectured in an Off hand,
dashing way, upon topics more or
less humorous,' but he also painted
with no mean skill, and some of his
miniatures were exhibited in the
Royal Academy of London, to which
metropolis he soon after removed
and began his literary career as a
contributor to the journals and ma
gasines.
He wrote the attractive and wide
ly known songs of "Rory O'More,"
"The Angels Whisper" "Molly
Bawn, and "The Four -leaved Sham.
rock, besides many others of scarce
ly less popularity. Mr.. Lover also
wrote several capital Irish novels,
including the inimitable chronicle
of Handy Andy" "Treasure
Trove," and "Rory O'More," which
he dramatized from his song of that
name. Mr.. Lover came to this
country some years since, and deliv-
cred series of semi-humorous lec-
lures, interspersed with his songs,
which were very entertaining, as
well as peculiarly successful.
In 1856 the British Government
awarded him pension Of one hun
dred pounds a year, since which
time he has lived in retirement,
though not altogether in idleness,
as he has from time to time given
the public something from his pen
through the columns of the English
periodicals. In private life Mr..
Lover was a good specimen Of the
genial Irish gentleman.

REGISTERI


We cannot urge too strongly upon Re
p,t1Eeans of the parish of Orleans to come
forward and register without delay. we
have clear majority of the qualified
voters in this city and parish, and must
come out of the approaching election as
victors. We can do so, If Republicans
will register and, when election day
comes, vote. Let every Republican, then,
in the parish give this important duty his
early attention.
Remember, the time for completing re-
gistration is short; that our enemies are
vigilant and will occupy much of the time
OF the Board of Registration. Duty to
yourselves, your generation and posterity,
require that you fail not to discharge the
highest privilege of freemen. You can
only do this by registering. Do this and
you will be entitled to join in the rejoicing
which will make the night of the third of
November glorious over the election of
Grant and Colfax.

THE BOYS IN BLUE.

There were nearly a million soldiers
represented in the convention at Philadel-
phia the other day. From all the land
over, the delegations came in with banners
flying and drums beating, just as they
marched to the war and home again. The
demonstration shows how the defenders of
the Union will vote.
Philadelphia did her best. As she was
noted for her hospitality when our volur-
teers passed through her streets South, so
now she threw open her doors to the boys
in blue whe are campaigning in the same
cause for which they fought.
As our soldiers we're victorious in the
war, so now are they prepared to win the
battle. As Philadelphia did her duty to
her defenders, so will she sustain them
now.
A few days and Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana will speak, aud we will hear from
their boys in blue. r..4u1

THE GREAT MoGUL,

We are informed at last of an important
fact, to wit, as to who is the greatest man
in town.
1t is Mr.. Arthur Gastinel, Recorder OF the
Second District. Those who have supposed
him to be merely petty committing magis-
rate are mistaken. He is the Great Mogul
of New Orleans; and oil other officers,
executive and judicial, are dependent on
him for countenanee and protection.
Behold how "we apples SWIM" 10 the
columns of the Bulletin:
The rumor having. got abroad yesterday
that some Of the Supervisors OF Election
allowed members of Radical clubs to regis
ter at night after the closing of the offices, a
demand was made in the Sixth Ward to al
low representative Of the Democratic
party to note down the numbers OF the last
registration certificate at each office every
night before closing, and the number of the
first certificate issued in the morning. This
was refused, and Recorder Gastinel applied
to Chief Register Baker. The latter most per-
emptorily refused and some angry words
were spoken at the Office No. City Hail. Re-
corder Gastinel told Baker that he had done
everything in his power as magistrate to
quiet the people when the Governor and
others had tremblingly appealed to him.
but unless the privilege asked was granted
be would not and could not ask the people
to submit. .tH..
Baker remindedf Recorder Gastiuel that
there were witnesses present who heard
these remarks, still peremptorally refused
to let anybody know what numbers were
registered each day, and told Recorder
Gastinel to go ahead. .I
Hamlet was fond of Recorders" and
said, 20, the Recorders let me see one"
He certainly would have been interested
in the specimen we have noticed above, on
which the Democracy are playing such
wonderful tunes.

nnNAR EGSInNAI.

Blackburn, ofthe Homer Had, is pitching
in on the approaching Congressional nom
ination in his district. We fear the Fifth
is rather "snarly" District.
Blackburn says:
We are becoming possessed of some facts
in regard to the Republican nomination for
Congress in this District, which shall never
rebound to either the profit or honor OF
those implicated. Gentlemen who may
aim to rise to distinction and promotion
over every rule OF common decency and the
most simple justice, where we are directly
concerned, or where we may have
worthy friends directly concerned, will
find that they have counted without
their host. Those who have heretofore
played the dog with rs, would testify on
oath that they have not made much: and at
the close of the next act they will find
themselves in the same fix, if they persist
In the same folly. Wait and see We are
not at all over-anxious ourseli ever to 90 to
Congress again bat we hereby and hereon
take an oath that certain hasty and anxious
characters shall never go from this district
while we live in it.
Now crack your "whips,n and come on
with your bullying and your bribery. You
may find that all the people Of this bleeding
land are not yet totally corrupted and
debased.

A WHnI.IsAIp RnsINEss.

The Tunes libels Judge Cooley in the
following style:
The Judge said that after these repeated
proofs of their error, he would hereafter
treat refusal to register citizen natural
lied in bis court as a contempt, and that he
would issue no more writs OF mandamus.
but would now try the punisory powers Of
the court and issue wits OF arrests.
The reporter of the Times would seem
to US to be the party guilty OF contempt in
ascribing to Judge Cooley such ignorance
as that paragraph would seem to imply.
The idea of Judge holding that ma
turalization certificate is an order of court
and that a refusal to register thereon is a
contempt!
The boy Benjamin Franklin proposed to
his father to economist time by saying
grace over whole barrel of beef at once,
and the Times accuses Judge Cooley Of
going into the same style of business in the
Judicial line. What next?

THE ST. LANDRY AFFAIR.


A careful inquiry into the transactions
which recently occurred in St. Landry
parish by a gentleman we'll qualified to
arrive at just conclusion, elbows the fol-
lowing summary OF the case
For some time previous to the outbreak
a feeling of intense antagonism had existed
all through the parish between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, the latter being
chiefly colored, and the former eutirely
white. In accordance with the advice of
the more wise and moderate men of both
parties, an agreement was entered into nv
The officers OF the respective parish clnbs
and ratified by the parties generally, that
In all future cases of personal difficulty the
! dispute should be at once referred to the
civil authorities, each pledging the other to
endeavor to procure fair trial
In consequence of report of a political
| meeting held at Washington, six miles from
| Opelousas, which was published in the
| Progress, some dozen or fifteen DAYS hot
| headed young men took it upon them
selves to compel the editor Mr.. Bentley.
to sign a retraction. For Ibis burmese
they visited him at his school, where thew
committed the outrage Of Gaming him with
rattan, infcting about thirty blows. At
some point during he interview. Bentley
signed the retraction which had previously
been written.
The news of this outrage spread rapidly.
and produced great excitement. In many
places it was reported that Bentley had
been killed in others the addition was
made that one Of his pupils had also been
killed. A member of the Republican
party indiscreetly declared in One
lousas, that the treaty or agreement be-
tween the two parties had been broken bv.
this outrage on Bentley, and advised calf
ing IN the people from the plantations to
redress the wrongs of their school-teaoher
and to be prepared to defend themselves.
The call was sent out and responded to
with some alacrity, blt the whites soon
heard of it, and at once resolved to nut a
stop to the rising. The plan pursued was
TO attack the parties of colered men com
ing Into town in detail and disarm them.
In delng this they met with some resistance,
which led to fighting, with the advantage
invariably in favor of the whites, The
freedmen, after having been overpowered.
were brought in and locked up, but there
appears to be no authenticated case Of kill
ing after resistance had ceased,
Inc young men who were responsible
for the outbreak were arrested on a war
rant, and bound over for trial
In all, it is believed that some twenty or
thirty freedmen were killed in the parish:
in and near the town there were not more
than two or three killed. A few white men
were wounded, but none killed.
The details of the affair are quite volum-
nous, but the above is fair deduction
from the evidence so far as it has been
ELECTED at 0pelousas. Most OF the facts
above ELECTED are derived from the sworn
statements of witnesses. We have endea.
vOred to present the case in clear and
truthful light, leaving the public to draw
conclusions.
