REPUBLICAN, PARTY NOT DEAD
Democrats Attempted to be Seated
and Republicans Unseated in the
House of Representatives.
THE GOVERNOR is STRONG AND HAS THE
SUPPORT Of THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
General Emory Pronounces Packard S
Conduct Revolutionary and Void.

United States Marshal Packard, with his
band of deputy marshals, has again violated
his duty and disgraced the Office which he
holds. BY means of the abuse of his official
power he has inaugurated a revolution in
this city and State. Finding majority of the
members of the House of Representatives,
decidedly opposed to his friend, George w.
Garter and determined toremove that indivi-
dual from the post of Speaker, he assembled
his deputies. armed with warrants of arrest
issued by subseryient United States Com
missioner, and proceeded to the House of
Representatives for the arrest OF a sufficient
number of the members of that body to
give the maj ority to his friends. Accordingly
members of the House who were not in favor
Of selling out to the Democrats under the
lead of George w. Carter, were arrested
and borne from their seats. While absent,
the Customhouse Republicans and the
Democratic members voted, riihoW hdting
a quorum, to atnscM Republicans, and PIT
Democrats IN, their placeS. Sir Repubticans
,refc r0ted OFT and Democratic contestants
PIT in their places. This action rerealS the
plot Of Packard, Carter d Co; it is to give
the government of the State to the Demo
Gratis.
The action taken to-day demonstrates
that the Republican party has yisor and
strength sufficient to enable it to cope with
its natural enemy and defeat him. Know
ing this the Democrats entered into alliance
with the Customhouse Republicans, but the
friends OF Governor Warmoth were too
strong for both united, and hence resort was
had to United States Marshal Packard to
come into the arena clothed with federal
authority to give success to the defeated
alliance of his faction with the Democratic
party. The Governor is master of the situa
ton. The Republican party, without com
bining with Democrats, stands by him. and
will do so hencetorth more thanevcr before
A distinguished federal official has had an
interview with Major General Emory on
this question. To his credit, be it said,
this officer pronounced the proceeding of
Packard. Carter & Co, and contedcrates,
revolutionary and void.
We need not be troubled as to the results
of the proceedings today when they come
before Congress nor is it at all difficult to
anticipate the effect they VIII have on the
public mind Of the North.
The arrest of Governor Warmoth and
members of the House and Senate to-day
will kindle a fire of Indignation in every
patriotic breast in the land

United States deputy marshal appeared at
the State House, and there served writs of

Campbell. General Barber and Chief of
Police Badger.
The deputy marshal had wits of arrest
for several other senators.
The Governor was in his office when the
writ was served on him. but at once fol

The other persons ARRESTED were in the

The Senators and the Chief of Police,

Mrs. Chanfrau.

This charming and popular actress, nee
Miss Henrietta Baker, whose first benefit is
announced for Friday evening, at the
Academy of Music, was born in Phila-
delphia, and in that city, at the Assembly
buildings, she made her first appearance
in public as a vocalist. Her first appear
ance upon the dramatic stage was made
September 10, 1854, at the City Museum,
in the same city, playing Hiss 4psley in
the willow Ccpse.' A short time after
this we find her enrolled as member OF
the company at the Arch Street Theatre.
For the season of 1878 she was engaged
at the National Theatre, Cincinnati, Ohio,
then under the management OF Mr.. j.
Lewis Baker. relative of Mrs. Chantrau.
During this season she met Mr.. r. 5.
Chanfrau, whom she afterward married.
Coming to New York she was engaged at
the Winter Garden Theatre, where she re-
NAMED several seasons, making marked
and rapid progress in her profession, and
attracting considerable attention by her
musical efforts. After leaving there she
was enrolled as member Of the company
at the Howard Athen.rum, Boston, where
her sojourn was short, owing to breach of
faith on the part of the management.
However, the Bostonians had had a glimpse
of her artistic merits, and when Selwyn S
Theatre was opened she was offered a
lucrative engagement as leading lady,
which she accepted and on her appearance
ela
which steadily increased during the season,
and ere its close she was considered one OF
the greatest fayortes that had ever ap-
peared in that city. She remained at the
theatre during the Selwyn regime, also
under Mr. Fcchter's management, when
the name OF the theatre was changed to
the Globe At the conclusion Of the season
of lS6g-70 she resolved to accept no
more stock engagements, and to attempt
starring tour throughout the country.
Placing the business arrangements of the
proposed tour under the direction of Mr..
C. W. Tayleure, he during the summer,
concluded star engagements at the prln-
cipal theatres of the country, extending
over a period OF thirty weeks, which she
is now engaged in fulfilling. Thus far her
success has been most Iiattering. She is a
talented actress. excclling in domestic
drama and comedy, though she gives
satisfaction in whatever role she under
takes. She possesses beautiful face, a
finely nodded form. a clear, resonant voice
under thorough control, ard a very dis
rinct cnunciation.
Mrs. Chaufrau. who is now playing one
the most brilliant engagements OF the sea
son in this city. will appear on the occasion
of her first benefit il the powerful play
the French version Of Fast Lynne Ell
titled "Expiation." an emotional drama IN
three acts. specially adapted for her 10y
c. w. Tayleure Esq, in which She has
won the highest encomiums from both press
and public. We trust she will be greeted
with a house due her great merits as an
artistic, and complimentary of the esteem
in which she is held by our citizens as a
lady

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The business of stocks and bonds is now
extremely dull. State warrants have gone
down, affected by the late troubles, closer
to fifty than to sixty cents. This is probably
owing to disposition more toward selling
than buying. Stocks are slow. The pres
sure in regard to money is slowly disappear
ing, and cash is getting plentiful on the
streets. In cotton the demand is not quite
so active, but the sales are convincing proof
of the holding of orders from Liverpool,
whence all the advices come. Factors still
hold their own. Without doubt the prices
have an upward tendency, which may at
any time alter in the other direction.

THE ENEMY SHOWS HIS HAND
Attempt to UnScat Republicans
and Seat Democrats.
They Fail for Want Of Quorum
LET OUR COLORED MEMBERS BEWARE
The Democracy is Pledged to their
Expulsion.

The following report from the Chief
Clerk of the House, to the Governor, shows
that the attempt to unscat Republican
members and put in the Democratic CON
tcstants, has been already made in the
House. Fortunately the absence Of quo
rum defeated the attempt. We tell the
members positively that the programme is
to 90 on unseating members until there will
be "a two-thirds white Democratic majority
in both houses. The colored men have
been betrayed by their pretended friends.
Let them stand firm, and all viii yet be
well,

Ijied i'm the Woods.

We copy the following from the Madison
J0u1uuI:
A week ago last Thursday, a white boy
named Lewis, about fourteen years Of age
and living with Mr.. Keel at his mills, SIX
miles west of Delhi. went into the woods
hunting. Not returning at night, 1t was
concluded that the lad had got lost in the
swamp. A large party of friends and
neirhbors after consultation, started on III
various directions in search. The search
was continued night and day until all hopes
of ever finding the poor boy alive We're
given up. Matters remained in this condl-
ton till near night of Tuesday last, when he
was accidentally found dead within quar-
ter of a mile OF the point where he was last
seen alive.
No marks OF violence could be discover
ed and it is supposed that he must have
been irving to get back home, but, being
too much exhausted lay down by tree,
and in that condition died. Others think
that. perhaps, he was taken with chill
and died from some of the forms OF con
gestion. The sad affair cast deep gloom
over the citizens for miles around, and IN
fu1Ilre wears, when "reminiscences OF by
rome Christmas times are spoken OF, THIS
will be said to be one of the most melan-
choly incidents that had ever happened IN
the Parish of Richand NJ to the time Pt its
occurrence.

Hints to Young Men who go n Sparkling

These words of wisdom are from
paper in the last number OF Ld''don
Society:
After all. in looking out for wife. man
must consider how she will show at the
iireside, rather than at parties. You can
learn so much of literary and aesthetic
tastes, the favorite books that are always
IN hand, the music that is regularly studied
and sung. the kind Of associations, ana the
general order Of tastes. 1t is by tar the
best way Of getting up a Irritation, which
is not unpleasantly done under parental
ewes. when such eyes are kindly and
benignant. Love making is an uncommon
pleasant employment for the winter nights.
You may talk Of the perils OF young men
when they come up to town; but there Is no
better safeguard than giving such young
fellows the associations OF home ana
sweet woman Parents make an immense
mistake in taking too severely momentary
a view of a Young fellow 5 prospects. l
never knew a Young fellow under ever so
dim cloud, who. with purpose and abil-
ity. could not work out his way into the
sunlight. Better even the long engagement,
or the early marriage, than many other sup
positions that might be put.
