confession, powerless. Every protection which
the law formerly afforded was swept away, and
vet at the same time large portion OF the
population was actuated by spirit of lawless-
ness, and melted by bad men to deeds OF vio-
lence, in order that political capital may be
manufactured to influence the Presidential

threatened them, counseling forbearance, and

AMUsEMENTs TINS EVENING.
NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

A new movemement to be known as the
National Telegraph comp 1y," is being
organized under recent act of congress,
with view of establishing telegraphic COM
munication on all the principal thorough
fares from East to West, but with no branch
lines. The stock is to be issued upon the
same principle as that of the Merchants
Union Express company, which recently
commenced operations. A limited amount
of stock has been allotted to each state and
the amount apportioned to Louisiana is five
thousand shares. No subscription will be
received for more than one hundred shares,
nor less than five, and this arrangement
will be confined strictly to business men.
This is done not so much to dispose of the
stock as to secure the influence of the
stockholders in providing business for the
line. At the time Of subscribing
one per cent of the amount subscribed will
be required to be paid down, and the bal.
ance in equal instalments, until thirty.fve
per cent of the amount is collected, which
is all that will be called in. This will give
the company paid up capital of So, 500 900,
which will be sufficient for present pur-
poses. Ifthe names of the gentlemen con-
nected with this company cen be regarded
as asufiicent evidence of the responsibility
of the organization, subscriptions will no
doubt be numerous. The president, George
B. Senter, was formerly mayor of Cleveland,
The vicepresident is Robert squires, of
New York, president of the Third avenue
railway company. The treasurer is
Frederick Prentice, large real estate
owner in New York city; and the directors
are Benjamin E, Smith, a prominent banker
of Columbus, Ohio, and president of the
Columbus and Indianapolis railroad; Charles
7. Sherman, one of the government direc-
tors of the Pacific railroad; and Ben Holla.

testing Secretary Stanton's right to remain
in the war office.

has just been nominated by the president
for brevet lieutenant general and brevet
