Don Carlos III.

The following 10 . brief sketch Of Don
Carlos, In favor of whose claim to the Span.
isl, throne another revolution has already
begun:
"Carlos Luis Maria Fernando. Count dc
3lonicn,olin, 10 the eldest son and heir Of
Don Carlos. the prctcndcr, by his wife sfsria

Generals Espartero aud Narvnex, he retired
auoccasivcly IN France and Austria, and
eventually aldisntcd In favor of h:s eldest
son, In the year lSl5. In the year 1916 the
Count de Mon,esnolin LETT Bourgcs and took
UP bic abode In England. In the month Of
April. iS49, he made m astcmpeto introducs
himself ints Spain under disguiec, l'ut was
arrested and conhncd In tho citadel of Per.
pigxan for few days. In the year 1850 he
married Maria Carolina Fcrdinsnts, sister to
tho late Ferdinand II, Of Naples. Skill con.
sidcring that he possessed good right to the
throne of Spain, the recent revolution
against Queen isabella stimulated his On.
desvors to reorysnise his party. which were
carried on from Paris, in which city he hos
l,cen living for some time. On the 18th In
slant he succeeded in evsding the vigilance
Of the French police who were placed to
watch his movements, and although hosly
pursued, made good his entry into Spain.
Successive teicgrasns have proved the fact
that his party is Of considerable magnitude,
and dispersed throughout the country.
Should he once succeed in concentrating his
sdherents in manner to effectively resist
the Government forces, It may be the com.
mencement Of one of the bloodiese etocha

Three little bugs in basket, and hardly

~ Anxious TO do justice to all, it il
with pleasure that we insert the following
communication from John G. Brooks, Sher
if of St. Landry ii Lafayette Advertiser.
OrElousAs, May 18th, 1869.
Editor Of the Advertiser:
In your issue of last Saturday you say
We have been reliably informed that U.
$. Troops had been sent to the Town OF
Opelousas, to enforce appointments of and
induct to office, DR.. Brooks and Capt. Am,
rein the former new appointed sheriff in
place of James G. Hayes, regularly elected
by the people," &c.
Believing that is your intention to prop
agate the truth, I will take occasion to cor
re t the statement of your informant SO far
as it applies to myself; | do this the more
particularly, because the implication from
your language is, that | was instrumental,
or partly so, in procuring the presence of
colored troops in this Parish. This is en-
tirely a mistake, l have neither requested,
nor courtenanced any aid to induct me into
office; l had been recognised by the Co.rt,
and entered upon the discharge of the du-
ties of my office, previous to the arrival OF
the troops in this Parish.
If my appointment is from any cause
[ desire to see It revoked or annul-
led. 1t was conferred on me without solic-
.ltation, at the request of my friends, but not
until the office Of the former sheriff had
been declared cacant, for Noncompliance
the requirements of the Act of the
Legislature, generally known as the Eligi-
oility Act. Under the circumstances. I
concluded to accept the office.
Disappearing of the presence of troops,
Ind particularly of colored troops in our
midst, at a period when law and order
eign supreme, and having had no agency
or indirect in procuring their pres
nee, trust you you will do me the justice
publish this note.
Yours most respectfully,
JOHN G. BROOKS, Shift.
