notified of the appearance in the heavenly
armament of more stars, planets, and
comets; and Manager Bidwell of the Acad'

One is Miss Eva Brent, the delightful and
truly accomplished vocalist who has ever
been so popular in this city, who will reap
pear upon the scene Of her former trl-
umphs on Tuesday evening. The other is
Miss Jenny Engel, young and dashlng
balladiste, whose great forte is seriocomic
vocalism, in which the critics of the North
and West say she stands alone aud unrt-
vailed. She is to appear in juxtaposltlon
with Miss Brent and we anticipate pleas
ant rivalry between the young ladies. Of
course each will have her champions, and
the public will all the time be the gamer.

CONTEsTISs ELECTIONS.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,;
It is boasted hat it is now too late to
contest cases in the late election in this city
and parish for the alleded reason that the
State law requires notice to be given and
petition to be filed within ten days after
the close of the election Even supposing
the State law is to control in this behalf
vet what are we to understand by the ex-
preston teu days after the close Of the
election? When is the election closed?
Clearly It is not closed until an
nOuuoed officially. Can any one for mo-
ment be bound by rumor? Unofficial news
paper statements are but little more. Such
statements bird no Que. No candidate has
a right to presume he is elected or defeated
until he is so officially informed. When
thus informed by the officer having the su-
thority, then the ten days commence 70
run. and not before. All know General
Buchanan has made no official announces
ment yet The stale Law alluded to lis foand
in the acts OF 1856, page III.
So contestants have yet time to collect
the elements for contest.

ABSENCE

To watch the long bright hours linger by;
To see the rosy flush of morning break
Ger shore and sea, o'er upland, hill and lake;
To see the even deepen, darken, die;
To see the moon her nightly duty take,
The soft grave glory Of aer royalty;
While evermOre on heart and lip and eye
Weighs the dull sense of something lost or
gone,
That leaves no loveliness lin things most
taiF
No music in the 1ipple's whispering tone,
No glory in the golden Autumn air,
No Joy in life's rich hours told one by one (;
This Is the heavy cross the absent bear.

The Mississippi Convention has been in
session longer time than it was supposed
would be required. The jackson Plot, a
stsuneh Republican paper, is responsible
for this joke on the Convention:
