Assassination in the Parish Jail.

HoUMA. August Is, 1870.
One of those crimes, so common in our
State-assassination was attempted here
last night.
A colored man named Auguste was ar
rested yesterday for assault and battery,
and was committed to prison in default OF
bonds. About nine O'Clock last night some
unknown person rode up to tie jail and
called him to the CRATES under pretense OF
giving him tobacco and whilst conversing
shot him, the bullet taking effect near the
locality of the heart. TIE. wound IS uli-
doubtedly mortal The above is the
wounded mans statenert-:,il can judge
for themselves. In heinoltsness and atroc-
itp this is certainly unparalleled in the an
mails of Louisiana crime. ..-....s'
The suggestive inteirog3torv propounds
itself, "When will measures be taken to
stay the hand of rutfian violence 2, The
contemplation of this atrocious deed. COM
mitted while the victim was in the hands of
the law, makes us all appreciate the inse-
curity of human life in this parrish as well
as i'll others. ....-....-... ....

August Is, l870.-
GENrLEMEN-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt Of yours of this day,
notifying me of my nomination for Con
gress by the Republican Convention of the
Fourth District, now assembled in this city.
I beg to inform you of my acceptance of
the same. and to request that you convey to
the members of the convention my deep
sense of the honor they have been pleased
to confer upon me.
lcordlally indorsc the great principles OF
the party, State and national, and promise
to spare no honorable effort to secure Or
success in the coming campaign. l am in
favor of the Union. first, last and forever;
the conservation of Republicanism, the pay
ment of the national obligations, the educa-
tiOn of all our people, the right to suffrage
of all citizens. the reduction Of taxes to the
lowest point compatible with the public
good. the building of the Southern Pacific
Railway, the improvement OF our rivers and
harbOrs, the sanctity OF American citizen
ship at home and abroad, the allayment of
the passions engendered by the recent war,
and the restoration of the country to peace
and harmony on the broad basis of impair
tial justice and equal rights.
While l am in favor Of internal improve
ments in general terms as have remarked
am specially in favor of building the
levees, moving the raft as it is termed
and improving the navigation of our own
Red river. Nine parishes Of the eleven in
our district are in its valley. Its soil is
richer than the famed banks of the Nile:
its people are brave, generous and enter
prising, and national aid should be given to
place its great arterial river in such cOndi-
ton as its importance demands.
If elected to the position for which yOu
have been pleased to nominate me, my
earnest endeavors will be directed to that
end.
With considerations of high regard,
have the honor to remain, very respectfully:
your obedient servant.

0pInlOas Of ArehbIshopsParcsil, Of cIa-
cisaatl..-hs Is Opposed to fhe Dogma.

MHH.L r".# ".""
A correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Commercial interviwed Archbishop
Purcell ON the nth inst, and among
other Questions submitted the follow
ing:
"When a the dogma OF Infallibil-
ity be proclaimed, or rather when is it
likely to be?"
The Archbishop - Possibly not
until the close OF the business of the
programme, not a twelfth part of which.
has yet been considered. The gem
eral congregation that meets weekly
discusses the propositions. When
they have finishfd the discussion and
the vote has been taken, the DEGREES
are drawn up, giving the result o ftheir
decisions. These DEGREES are publish-
ed In the general session, with q sane
ton or not, as the cas- may be. Then
they are not considered of binding
force uniilthe close fthe entire Coun-
ell, when the Bishops of the Council
sign the DEGREES, and the Pope sol
EMMY publishes them.
RepOrter-Then / must understand
you that, adlFering to rule and custom,
the dogma of infallibility can not be
proclaimed until the close of this
Council, which is an'unknown time?
Archbishop tell you, as the Arch
bishop of Paris told me, in which /
agreed with him, that this or any
other decree could not be binding un-
til the Council shall have closed, the
Bishops sign it, and the Pope solemn
ly proclaim it. But the question is
whether the Pope will consider it his
right to proclaim it at once, without
waiting for the Council. If he is dofaS-
liJte, as he considers himself 10 be, he
UiU do a. he pLedSeS.
Observation-Disclosures question will it
be proclaimed in the churches with ex-
traordinary and imposing ceremonies?
Archbish0p-No, / think not. That
will not be necessary. 1t al be Of
iciaily announced and published in
the papers. 1 understand, by the
way, that in Cologne the Jesuits re-
fused dissolution TO persons declining
to acknowledge :infallibility before the
proclamation, that the matter was re-
ferred TO Rome, and that Rome sent
back word that the Jesuits were right.
RepOrter-Thfs is a hurrying up Of
things.
Archbishop-Yes 1 shall regret to
see any rash action. There is danger
Of schisms in the Church.
RepOrter-You spoke against inial-
libility? G.
Archbishop-Certainly I did. In
the start twenty-seven others Joined
with me in signing that protest
against a threatened pressure without
due consideration. We told the Holy
Father that if that plan was carried
out the obligation of Pontifcal Sc
crecy would thereby be removed, and
(placing his hand on his mOuth) there
would be no ''gag'' there, and all the
proceedings should come out.
RepOrter-You voted against the
dogma?
Archbishop-0f course / did, when
/ wa there. 1 left July 2.
Reporter-NoW what do those who
voted for infallibility mean by it?
Archbishop-Certainly it means
only that the Pope can make NO error,
as the head of the Church, in ex-
pounding Christian religion. In no
other matter can he be considered in
fallible.

JAMES l.. ORR, of South Carolina,
prOclaims himself a Republican. The
negroes of South Carolina having an
overwhelming majority in the State,
have declared their purpose to mOnop-
ollie all public offices. They have
reviled those of their own C who
propose any sort of utilization with
Democrats, or even with white men.
Orr has studied the facts, and Ma
homet goes to the mountain; the
mountain won't come to MahOmet.
Office Orr must have. We believe
that Mr.. Orr has the distinguished
honor of being the first Southern ex-
Congressman, of the. former decade,
who has allied himself with the negro
or Republican party.

ELECTION returns received at the
State Department, Nashville, from all
but twenty counties, show thai
Nelson received 9O,495 votes; Dead
eriek, $685.; Nicholson, S8,s17; Tur-
ney, Ss,557; Sneed, S8,921; Freeman,
1858; Milligan only 12,42s, and he
received the highest vote cast for any
of those on the Radical ticket. The
twenty counties to be heard from
cannot alter these figures for the better
ment Of the Radicals. From this il
will be seen that we have only to be
true TO ourselves and the Democratic
cause to elect a delegate from every

TIE MorristOwn Gazette, referring
TO its regret because General Bate re-
fuses to become a guberRatOrial can
didate, says that as much as ii de-
plores his action in this matter, we
cannot but admire the noble spirit
of patriotism which prompts him.
But few men, in these days of thirst
and greed for Office, possess the spirit
of selfdenial for their cOuntry's good
to such a degree as that exhibited by
General Bate. We are proud to
know and to feel that he upon whom
our first choice fell, in withdrawing
from the race, wins higher hOnors and
brighter laurels than can be gained
by any successful aspirant.
