OF smallpox. He had just returned from
New Orleans where it is supposed he con-

smallpox while in the city and he waited
upon him. When he was taken sick. he and

him. Even hi. own family lett the place as
soon a. he died. and he remained just as he
WAC when the breath left him. from Sum
day night until Wednesday evening. The
white people offered large sum to
any one who would bury him. and after
much difficulty two colored men were
found who would undertake the job.
and on Wednesday, evening he was
buried near the house where he died and
the building burned. This is e sad com
mentary upon the civilization and human.
isy Of the negroes. to think they would
allow their trusted leader and companion
to remain several days without giving hun
ii decent burial, and it lis moro TO be won

relations living here, among whom are sew

well dressed, and of good address, being

they attracted no suspicion. Finally, hav-
ing reasons to doubt that they we're not cx-
actly OF the right stripe, the proprietor
asked them to call at the clerks Office aud

fashion, giving two checks, one for s23 on

Vanes, mate of steamer Mary Swan. These
checks were presented and found to he

upon the crack OF the sbarpers, and yester-
day they were arrested and locked up, to

Tint Baton Rouge Election.

AVE" ShLEANSs ApEIl
Editor REPUBLICAN,:
In the Tuesdays issue of the Times and
Ficayunc appears the following telegram ::
BATON ROUGE. April The municipal
election to-day for alderman, city treasurer
and city marshal passed off quietly, result.
ing in the election of the McEnery ticket
there being no opposition ticket in the
field.
AS this vague and indefinite dispatch
fails to give a true statement of this pre-.
tended election. allow me space in your
valuable columns to give a full account Of
the same.
Acting upon the compromise entered into
by the leading citizens of both parties, and
acquiesced ia by nine tenths OF the inhab-
itants of Baton Rouge, irrespective of par
ty or color, Mayor Elan and the Common
Council revoked the proclamation of an
election to be held April :, and eounseled
the citizens generally to abide by the COM
promise effected. The principal Democratic
journal of Baton Rouge, Gazette Comet,
heartily indOrsed the compromise. as well
as the merchants. bankers and prominent
citizens generally. In spite, however, of
the revocation by the Mayor and Common
Council, as wei! as tue expressed deter
mination of the citizens, regardless of par
ty, to accept the compromise candidate ap-
pointed last week by Governor Kellogg, the
farce OF an election was gone through with,
and the exact result is as follows:
The whole vote cast for city marshal,
city treasurer, and selectmen, respectively,
was l34, to be divided among several can
didates, McEneryites, of course The ag
gregate vote of the municipal election in
1872 was $50, which fully explains why
there was ''nO opposition to this McEnery
ticket. The compromise board of selectmen
appointed by Governor Kellogg last week
qualified yesterday, the eighth. AS Mayor
Elam placed his resignation in the hands of
Governor Kellogg, and which has been ac-
cepted, and the old board signifying their
readiness to retire in favor of the new one,
the recent municipal election in Baton
Rouge may be safely taken for what it is

Mention was made in the REruBLYchx
some days since of the discovery of a coal

WASHING TON, April 9.-The White House
was crowded today. The President goes
to Richmond on the tenth of May.
The President signed the commissions of
William NJ Mckenna, postmaster at ShreVe-
port, and Thomas +. Milstead, collector of
customs at Yorktown, Virginia.
The United States Senate committee
heard to-day the continuation of the argu-
ment IN reference to the postal car qhes-
tion. President Hinckley, of the Philadel-
phia and Baltimore road, made extracts
from the annual reports, showing the small
profits resulting to the company from the
earnings by carrying the mails President
Harris, of the Connecticut Valley road.
stated that his company received Sl2,900
per year from the express, and if they were
paid accordingly for the mails they would
get S45.900 yearly. As it is, they only
get $40 for the round trip in a twen-
ty one feet car. with two messengers. If
the latter paid their fare il would
cost them 81. Mr.. Hinckley resumed the
road documents to show the inequality of
the postal remuneration. His own COM
pany received sixty-twO cents per mile for
thirty feet cars on the Baltimore Central
branch. while on the Delaware branch they
only received fourteen cents per mile tor
thirty feet cars. The mails. he said. were
carried in the same class of cars on both
branches. The committee then adjourned
till To- morrow, when Davis will make an
argument for the Postottice Department.
The Downing estate claim before the
Claims Commission has its final hearing on
the iwenty-sixth instant. a large portion
of the claim has already been proved, and
the commissioners will now hear the testi.
mony as to the balance. The provision in
ths Downing will that q portion of the
estate goes to the cause of education in
Louisiana. tenders a supplemental petition
necessary. This has now been presented
by T. W. Conway. the executor, who. in
company with his bride. goes to-day to
New Orleans ON business connected with
this important trust.
