The Alexandria Democrat says the
barber and porter of the Rapides, on the
I'd inst, while laying at Pineville, had a
serious difficulty. The porter was awful
ly cut in the neck with razor, and died
from the wound in few minutes. The
barber gave himself up to the sheriff
next morning, underwent judicial in
vestigation and was remanded to Jail to
await his trial.

Cheek brought up "a bales of cotton and

At meeting of the Louisville Board
of Trade few days since, Messrs. John
S. Long ard Capt. lack Sherley were
appointed committee to go to Wash
ington and to represent to Congress the
importance of an early completion of
the Louisville and Portland canal by the
Government and the free use thereof.
The St. Louis Republican of yesterday
gives rather gloomy prospect for busi-
ness. 1t says:
The present low stage of water, the
high rates charged for the transportation
of freight and the increased expense Of
carrying it, has caused stagnation in
river business not seen here for several
months. Shipments Of hay, oats and
many other articles have almost entirely
ceased. We scarcely expect a revival
Of trade here during the remainder of
this year.

ADA JONES.
Roberts, Sullivan and Savage Re-
fused Hail by Judge HaIsey--The
witnesses Examined, but no New
Facts Elected.

Roberts, Sullivan and Savage Re-
fused Hail by, Judge Haisey--The
witnesses Examined, but mo- New
Facts Elected.
Yesterday at three clock the Second
Circuit Courtroom was crowded by citi-
zens to see the parties accused of the
murder Of Ada Jones, and to hear the
testimony Of the witnesses. The same
testimony was disclosed by the State
itnesses-Bennie Bonner (waiter-boy at
Marie saloon) Lou Smith, Mrs. Flynn,
John Marie and Coroner Moffatt. There
are other witnesses who have not been
examined, whose testimony will be re-
served for subsequent legal proceedings.
The theory of the murder at present is,
that Roberts, Savage and Sullivan were
intoxicated when they were with Ada
Jones in the upstairs room of the restau
rant. An angry alteration, originating
in Jealousy, sprang up between the par
ties, during which the unfortunate wo-
man received her death wound. She
was probably sitting on the chair when
shot, and in falling forward the chair
was broken. The body was then dragged
out on the gallery, where it was discov-
cred next morning.
The evidence so far is altogether cir
cumstantial, but of character strong
and clear. At the close of the testimony
last evening the application for bail was
submitted by counsel without argument.
Judge Halsey promptly refused bail, and
remanded the parties back to Jail. When
the announcement was made an express
sion of applause arose from the crowd
present, but this was promptly sup
pressed by the court The defendants
were conducted back to Jail by the
officers.

The Democrat who feels like acqulcs-
cling in the Fifteenth Amendment, just
because it has "passed" does not UNI
derstand himself. The passage Of the
Fifteenth Amendment does not "'take
the negro out of politics" or render the
dogma of "equal rights" any the less
odious. Let every Democrat keep his
eyes to the front and not falter The
tariff question "has passed." but We
oppose 1t. Tho financial policy Of the
Radical party "has passed" yet we do
not hesitate to object to it. The passage
Of the bill to strengthen the public
credit does not deter the people from
talking about reputation, The Eff
teenth Amendment is just as much Of
an issue as ever, and let no man cajole
himself with the idea that because it
''has passed" we are dono with 1t or
that the Democratic party ought to ac-
cept the situation and cease to oppose
it. Such a view is a fallacy the sooner
abandoned by Democracy the better
Give us q white mans party first last
