A Washington special Of the twenty-sev-
enth to the Louisville Co1uier-Jom7sal
says:
The Senate committee appointed to inves-
tigate the affairs Of Louisiana will meet on
Wednesday, when the reports of the differ
emit members will be submitted. The testi-
monv has been printed, and the members
are engaged in writing their reports. The
has been no great dereliction of duty on
the part of any prominent official. Messrs
Archer and Speer, as a minority, will pre-.
sent a report reviewing the actions of Col
lector Casey and others, and blaming them
for interference in the local quarrels Of the
State. The Radical administration of affairs
will also be carefully reviewed. 1t is the
intention to have the reports ready to sub
NIT before the adjournment OF Congress.

DIsowNED. - Early yesterday morning
the police found day-old male babe on the
banquette of Abadie street, between John
son and Prieur streets, abandoned by father
and mother, if the poor thing ever had
either. We would like to have the inner
history of this case, for doubtless some
grains of romance are mixed up with the
crimes and realities. The miserable parents
are informed that Elodie Pierre, corner OF
st. Claude and Union streets, has taken the
fnnndling.

The Picayune Of yesterday was in a ter

shall the black population, backed up by
the federal government, have complete as

AS a matter Of logicwe don't exactly see
how ''the question viii be this" but we can
see how, under fright, the heart makes con-
fession How can the State be ruled by
white men, whether Republicans unite or
not, unless citizenship is denied to all black
men Mark the phrases, too, "white men,"
"black population" black men, OF citi-

BRUISED .-Ellen Brown, one whose path
in life is among thorns, was admitted into
the Charity Hospital Wednesday night,
bleeding profusely from a gaping wound
on her head. Before going to the hospital
she was at the first precinct station house,
where she stated that policeman had
dubbed her; but the real story appears to
be that one of her associates tried to brain
her with a lamp. The grand jury can, per
haps. ascertain the truth.
