Interfering with Registration.

G. l.. Van Hooten, arrested Tuesday
evening by a deputy United States mar
shall, on the complaint of William f. Davies,
one of the supervisors appointed by Judge
Woods, appeared yesterday before Record
er HoughtOn, who dismissed the charge, he
having no jurisdiction in the matter. Mr.,
Davis Immediately appeared before United
States Commissioner Woldy, and filed the
following affidavit:
United States of America, district Of
Louisiana, city Of New Orleans.-PersOn-
ally appeared before me, the undersigned,
commissioner Of the United States for the
district of Louisiana, William +. Davies,
who, being sworn, dep0ses and says That
he is a supervisor of election duly appoint
ed and qualified under the provisions of the
act of the Congress of the United States
entitled An act to amend an act approved
May 81, 1870 entitled an act to enforce the
rights of citizens of the United Statse to
vote in the several States of this Union,
and for other purposes approved Febru-
airy %, 1872, and of the acts amendatOry
thereof for the second ward Of the parish OF
Orleans, and that, on the third day Of Sep
TENDER, 1872, while in attendance under the
provisions-o the said act, at the time and
place, in the said ward, fixed for the regis
tPdllOn OIL voters, VINO, Delng registered,
would be entitled to vote for Representa-
tive or delegate in Congress of the United
States, one, C.L. Van Hooten did then and
there unlawfully interfere with afiant in
the discharge Of his duties under the said
acts in refusing and preventing affiant from
examining and inspecting the records of
said registration. Wherefore, affiant prays
that the said c. L. Van sHooten may be ar
rested and dealt with according to law.

AcademN nf MUSIC,

Last night there was another excellent
audience at the Academy, and every one
was delighted with the unique perform
ances of Sargent, the famous illusionist.
His spirit clock and bell his oran ge, egg
and lemon trick, and his great hat trick,
are among the best and most mysterious of
his performances. He does not explain to
the audience how he does these things, and
they can not find it out
But with Mr., Davies, the best ventrilo-
quist in the world, it can be plainly heard
how he deeeives his audiences. The decep-
ton, however, is so natural and so pleasing
that. mystery would add nothing to the in j.
terest of the performances. The coIloquy
between Mr.. Davies and the little folks is
full of humor. Joe and the little seven
year old girl, Mary, are full of fun, and the
boy, brimming. over with impudence.
Mr. Davies will give his last performance
Sunday night, as he leaves for Cincinnati
Monday evening. Grand matinee Satur-
day

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In reply to the card of Mr.. Lang
DON published under the head of per
sonaI" in this days Picayune, Tbeg to state
the following facts: Last. Saturday night,
having business with Colonel Badger, I
called at his Office and, not finding him,
took a seat to await his arrival Soon
after Mr.. Langdon came in and greeted the
gentlemen present, myself among the num-
Der. I then asked him if he knew who was
the author of the communication in that
evenings Picay1o2e signed u.s." he said he
did not. then said that such communica-
lions should not be published, as they were
calculated to injure the ticket, and that as
General Sheridan had received the nomina-
ton, attacks of that character should not be
permitted through the Picay2l11e.
Mr. Langdon replied that was an igno-
ramus and knew nothing about it, on which
told him that might not be Lis equal as
an ink-slinger and in the use of Billings.
gate, and that did not desire any further
conversation with him. He then struck
me on the arm with his cane, the cane broke,
and broke for him, and but for the
kindly interference of a gentleman present
the reportorial corps of the Picayune would
have been short handed for some days at
least.
1 have an aversion to appearing in print,
and sincerely regret the necessity for it,
and would at any time prefer another mode
of settling this question, and trust that Mr..
Langdon is now of the same mind. Very
respectfully, MYLES SHARKEY.
