Mrs. Black was evidently In feeble

TO the witness stand, leaning upon the
arm Of her husband. Amer being seated

Jury. She held large palm fan in her

Ms. Black spoke distinctly In giving her
testimony, but at times her voice was

Her evidence vislbly affected many hear.

court room, the sheriff (OE Frederlck) and

Mrs. Black was attired, as usual, In a
black alpaca dress, black sllk.velvet cape,
and small quaker bonnet trimmed in
brown. ...
During Mr.. Whitney's argument, when
he made the declarations concerning her
daughter, Mrs. Black burst into tears and
was greatly agitated. Mr.. Black, her
husband, endeayored to calm her, but
without avail.
AS young Black came into the court

CRY HOTEL, NEw ORLEANS, DEC. 5, "a

CRY HOTEL, NEW ORLEANS, DEC. 5, "a.
the Editor of ths Democratic Statesman.
1t is authoritatively confirmed by
the proper authority, that a strong
combination of capital and energy
has taken hold of the Mobile, New
Orleans and Texas Railroad, and
that they will rapidly consummate
this, the most desirable railway con-
nection and interest in the South.
A very cheerful spirit and eager an
ticipation prevails among our people
now, concerning this enterprise.
The political outlook is as unsat-
isfactory as any one can well imag-
inc. Notwithstanding the present
quarrel between the two factions of
the Radical party here, there is a
strong prospect that the people will
continue to be ruled disastrously dur
ing at least the next term of office.
The late Fair thai was held here,
was not success in point of money
returns, or in having had as large an
attendance as was derived or antici-
pated. The severe and dreadfully
bad weather which prevailed, seri-
ously impeded the operations of ex-
hibitors and ruined the hopes of the
association.
Receipts of cotton are rapidly in
creasing daily here, though the sup
ply does not really equal the de-
mand. The cash prices are com
paratively good, though they are un-
satisfactory to the masses of pro,
ducers. An increasing number Of
planters and country merchants are
arriving here daily, and there is com.
paratively a more cheerful prospect
for business than was anticipated a
few weeks ago.
Among the most noticeable and
prominent improvements that were
made during the summer, those at
the City Hotel are especially strik-
ing. 1t has been made SO bright,
fresh, cheerful and comfortable, in
its completely new furniture, carpets,
appointments, paint and general APP
pearance, that its old and new pa
irons will not fail to be delighted
with it. The table Is better than ev.
err, and the price will remain at
three dollars per day. As this re-
duction from the high prices which
formerly prevailed was first inaugu-
rated and established by Col. R. S.
Morse, Proprietor of the City Hstel,
that famous landlord deserves very
great credit, and the kindly con-
sideration of the travelling public.
Col. Morse also opened the st. james
Hotel for guests, on December 1, in
splendid style at three dollars pei
day, Frank Higgins, Manager. and
Maj. 0. F. Wiekle in the office. The
prospects for the st. James are bet
ter than its success Ill any previous
season.

The New Orleans Republican is out
in an editorial attempting to prove
that the condition of affairs in Missis-
sippi may justify the declaration of
martial law in that State, and its oc-
cupation by United States troops. 1t
pretends not to know much about the
evidences of lawlCssness in the State,
but is simply predisposed in favor of
the martial law plan as a great recti-
fer of disorder. 1t refers to the glO,
rious condition of society brought
about by the military occupation of
South Carolina, and thinks it wise to
strike decisive blows at the proper
time. 1t, however, feels little un,
certainly in view of the manner in
which the suppression of civil law has
been accepted by the people and press
of the country. 1t seems to fear
though it does not openly express it,
that a storm of opposition may arise
throughout the North upon the question
of suppressing civil rights. 1t say:
that "even the officers of the army fee
offended at being warped from theil
professional duties into police magis-
tratcs for the suppression of disorders
that the civil authorities ought to b,
left to deal with"
In the end it taxes the Democratic
press with all this evil, and says it vii
have to bear the responsibility of sucl
necessary measures of security being
used. This is paving the way for ;
double stroke, one at civil rights and thu
other the liberty of the press. Gov
Davis has tried the latter in Texas
and as other acts of tyranny succeed
by slow and steady progression, it ma!
soon be tried on a very enlarged plal
in Mississippi and other States,

ing precisely the same views, but of
less standing in their communities.
1t may be said the former violated
an oath, while the latter did not have
it in their power to do so. If they
had taken this oath, it cannot be
doubted they would have broken it,
as did the former class. If there are
any great criminals distinguished a.
bove all others for the part they took
in opposition to the government, they
might in the judgment of Congress
be excluded from such an amnesty.
The condition of the South is not
such as all patriotic citizens can de-
sire. 1t will be a happy condition
of the country when the old citizens
of these States will take an interest
in public affairs and tolerate this
same freedom of expression and ball
lot as those entertaining different
convictions. %.
