MINORITY REPORT.

Mr. PRESIDENT: The undersigned, Chair
man of Committee of Election and Regis
tration, to whom the contested election
case of Twenty seventh Senatorial District
was referred, beg leave to report this
minority report:
That, believe the charge set forth in the
protest of q. G.. Caldwell, in reference TO
the fOrty-four votes at Beat No. l, Tunica
county, which protes says was not accredit-
ed to him, because on the tickets appeared
G. c. Caldwell, instead of G. G.. Caldwell.
The evidence of NJ. j. Manning, and of
ChaS. +. Brigham, who was one or the In
spectors, is fully corrohorated by their tcs-
timony.
The second charge in protest, that citi-
Zens were refused the right TO vote, r. not
proved by the testimony. The third charge
in the protest is fully proved by the EVIL
dence of Mr.. Chas. <. Brigham. That MI.
Manning was chosen challenger. and was
refused the right to act as such. The fourth
charge in protest is not denied, but the proof
does not fully show that the ballot-box was
abolished in the interest of any party or
person.
AT Beat No. l, in Tunica county, there
appears to have been some disorderly con-
duct on the part of one of the inspectors OF
said district and when the votes of said box
were counted, it appears by the evidence,
that there were twenty-five votes missing
belonging to said box. The contest In said
district seems TO have been heated and warm
~ contested ny The
nominees for the Senate, and boiling ele-
ment of said party. The boiling candidate
of the Republican party for Senator of the
Twenty-seventh District according to the
returns from the Secretary of States Office,
shows that j. II. Cooke received SS6 votes
i'm said districI, which must have been the
cause of the falling of in g. G.. Caldwell's
vote.
The Democrats standing united In their
choice. while the Republicans were disor-
pauized and divided, the official returns
show. that the sitting Senator was elected
by fifty-fiv votes majority over the con-
testant Now, if the forty-four votes which
is fully proven by testimony of reliable
witnesses to have been accredited to G. g.
Caldwell, and rightfully belonging to said
contestant never was accredited to said
Caldwell. and the missing twenty-five votes
at Beat No. l. were for said contestant this
would give him siXty-six votes more than
what he is now accredited for. This num-
Der against HOlloway's majority of fifty
jority OF eleven votes over the seated Sena-
tor.
Who are, and who are not rightfully Sen
ators of this body is question which must
be decided upon Its merits, and should IL bt
Il self-evident proposition, that no man Is
rightfully a member OF this Senate, who
was not elected according to law,
therefore present this report, and hopt
that the Republican party of the Twenty
seventh District will render a better and
clearer record hereafter.
Respectfully submitted,
III. b. MCCLURE,
Report received Chairman.
Senate then adjourned.

MONDAY EVENING. April ~. t61z.
The money market is quiet and easy. We
notice slightly better demand for accom-
modations at bank, but the supply of funds
is more than sufficient for the requirements
of Al borrowers, and no difficulty is found
in placing all the offerings of approved
paper. On the street, we hear of very little
doing. We quote: so 10 y cent y annum
for AL notes with unquestiOnable col
iaterals, and IL 012 for second grade; 100

Benefit of Mime. Durand,

The numerous friends and admirers of
the charming Nine. Durand were out in
full force last night, nothing daunted by
the threatening weather. 1t was unfortu-
nate it should have rained as it did yester-
day, otherwise the house would have been
the largest, perhaps, OF the season. AS it
was, the parquette and dress circle and
most Of the second circle were filed, many
ladies occupying seats in the parquette
The reception accorded the fair benei-
ciary on her entrance as the beautiful
Juliet, was one that Nilsson herself would
have been proud of. Besides bewildering
number of bouquets thrown upon the stage,
there were several beautiful baskets and
elegant wreaths of flowers passed up by the
assistance of Mr. CAlabresi, and literally an
armful of splendid presents, consisting of
boxes of jewelry, gloves, handkerchiets,
etc, the audience all the while testifying
their delight in rapturous applause. During
the whole evening every opportunity was
seized to shower the lovely artistic with
flowers. If we had happened to enter the
theatre Just as she had completed the Jewel
Song in Faust" we should have thought it
was her first appearance, Judging from the
quantity of handsome bouquets thrown and
the great clapping Of hands. -,
She was in splendid voice and sang with
great effect throughout, but was unusually
line in the WALTZ Song" in "ROmeo," the
"Jewel Song" of 90 Faust" and the scene
from Lucia" We congratulate her on the
great success of her benefit, and share in
the general satisfaction felt among her
friends at the unbounded enthusiasm mani
tested. She was called out after every act,
and, indeed. everything an audience can do
in the way of compliment was extended to
her. We learn that among the many pre-
sents given her last night there was a set
OF diamonds which cost $1,000. All these
things show the hold she has won on the
hearts Of our musical people who have thus
substantially testified their regard We
wish her continued and increasing success
wherever she goes. and hope another season
to count her sweet voice among those who
shall constitute the New. Orleans opera
troupe.
