An Interesting Speech.
A Washington special Of the first instant

A Washington special Of the first instant
to the Cincinnati Gazette says:
The ordinary dull routine Of the speech
making Of the week was somewhat relieved
this afternoon by the remarks of Elliott, q
cOlOred member from South Carolina, who
got the floor ON the pending .Ku-Klux bill.
Elliott is a successor to Preston Brooks in
that strongest of all old South CarOlina's
secession districts. He is the darkest of all
the colored members of the House, and at the
same time the most cultivated, being grad
uate from an English university. He came
to Congress with the reputation of being
one of the most foroible and eloquent
speakers in the present body; In the sew
made thus far during the present session,
he has borne himself creditably, and i'm
pressed even the most prejudiced Demo
Gratis that he is q man of unquestiOned
power and ability. When he arose this
afternoon both Democrats and Repub-
licans fOcked around him, and
the galleries presented a marked
contrast to their deserted appearance
of the last few days. Elliott's voice is very
in outdoor speaking. His delivery is good,
and his gestures well timed and graceful.
His speech throughout was listened to
with marked attention, there not being the
slightenst confusion from the. .exordium to
the close. OF course, it was in favor of
stringest legislation to suppress existing
Southern outrages. The idea he kept con-
tinually putting forward was that no loyal
man need fear putting too much power in
the hands of well meaning administra-
ton. 1t was only the rogues that felt the
halter draw who had q bad opinion of the
law. He spoke for about an hour and .
half, from written notes, and was inter
rupted but twice, and then in connection
with facts which it appeared he related
from his own personal experience. His re-
plies to these interruptions were exceeding
fy ready, and caused great laughter on the
Republican side of the House.

SPRING FIGHTS COMMENCED.
fistels On 1t. Charles Street.

Retween 6lne and ten o'clock last night
the corner Of St. Charles and Common
streets echoed the dulcet sounds Of five or
six pistol shots in rapid succession.
The particulars, as near as we could
gather them, are about as follows:
One night recently man named I. Nc
Cormack uttered some words derogatory to
Wash Rockwell, coon after which the latter
foored the former, and that was all at the
time. Last night Rockwell, Mccormack
and Aleck Newton met at or near the cor
ner mentioned when promiscuous fusillade
opened. The men were we'll armed, it ap-
pears, fully prepared for battle.
Five OF six shots were heard, two of the
bullets wounding Rockwell in his back, the
remainder doing no damage as far as heard
from. Rockwell's wounds are serious, and
may result in death, as one of the balls is
very large. evidently sent from a pistol not
unlike q navy revolver. Both bullets were
in his body when he was sent to the Charity
Hospital, and he could feel one Of them
under the fibsh of his heart.
Aleck Newton was arrested and charged
with wcunding Rockwell with intent to kill.
The pistol found on his person was the
largest sized Remington, two loads out Of
the cylinder. The weapon taken from Rock
well showed the same number of discharges.
A loaded Deringer was found on Newton.
One or two more shots are to be accounted
for, and persons who were near the scene
express the belief that Mccormack fired
them. He made his escape during the ex-
citement. A score of witnesses were on the
spot, and saw the duel from first to last.
OF course, it 10 almost impossible to ascer-
tain the origin Of the difficulty, but particu-
lars may be developed when the case shall
come before the Recorder.
When the surgeon in the Charity Hos
pital dressed Rockwell's wounds it was
thought they were not likely to prove fatal
or really serious. He then left and visited
St. Charles street, and was arrested by
Officer Rinehart, the same officer who
arrested Newton. As Rockwelrs condition
was not very pleasant, he was released to
appear to-day. He asserts that Newton is
the one who wounded him, and that
Mccormack shots did not take effect.

At meeting of the City School Board, last
evening, a resolution was passed closing the
public schools for the remainder of the week,
including to-day, which is held in observ-
ance by several religious denominations.
Tomorrow being Good Friday is legal
holiday, and Saturday, in school affairs, is
always dies non. We suppose that all the
boys and girls who read the REPUBLICAN
will find out, before the hour of school ar-
rives, that there will be no school to-day.

The engagement Of this accomplished
actress ct the Academy q Music COM
menced ON Monday evening last, upon
which occasion she appedfed a. Lady
Amdley in the thrilling four act drama en-
titled Lady Audley's Secret"
The novelty Of the play may have helped
to inspire favorable impressions. The plot,
though not faultless, is intensely interesting
throughout; and the characters, well
arranged and sufficiently natural, in the
hands of good artists do moi. fail to make q
most lively and entertaining picture of real
life.
The fame of Mrs. Bowers as an actress
had excited the curiosity Of many persons
who had not witnessed her performances,
and since the commencement Of her present
engagement they have availed themselves
Of an opportunity of Witnessing her in pow
erful renditions of character.
Monday and Tuesday evenings were dedi-
Gated to what turned out . triumphal ap-
proval of her representation Of Lady Assdley.
As much as the public had been led to ex-
pect of Mrs. Bowers, it was quite evident
that all who witnessed her superb acting of
this subtle, polished and most difficult char
acter, went away we'll satisfied that all
praise bestowed upon her was we'll merited.
She fully camprehends all the passions
that move the human heart, and, gifted
with . graceful person, mind Of high
order in tho line of the drama, . sweet
and powerful voice we'll trained in the art
Of elocution, and judgment withal. it is
not strange that she should succeed in
pleasing those who are fond of refined and
intellectual entertainment.
Mrs. Bowers is very ably supported by ].
C. McCollom, and the ladies and gentlemen
of the St. Louis Dramatic Stock Company.
Mr.. McCollom's Robert Asdley is smooth
and perfect piece Of acting,. Miss Mary
Maddern's Alicia is also excellent and Harry
Ellis Lake Marks can not be excelled.
Without stopping to further individualize,
we will say that every character is well sus-
tanned.
Last evening Mrs. Bowers played Camille
in the exciting drama Of that name. We
can not say that We admire the piece, though
in justice to the talents Of the lady We must
say no one can help admiring her acting.
Her Camille, like her Lady Audley. is Q
masterpiece Of acting, well calculated to
reach the hearts of all who are not proof
against passion passion, if You please, in
all its phases, instigated by good and evil
from the holiest and tenderest love to the
moet subtle and bitter hatred.

This is good advice from the Clinton
Patriot:
There is plenty of time yet to plant corn,
and we advise our planters to do 60. in pre-
ference to cotton. They should ct least
plant enough for their own use. Cotton at
twelve cents won't pay, and we can safely
predict that the staple will remain ct the
