Jefferson City l;asIisht Company.

We have before us the annual report Of
the secretary of the above company to the
stockholders at their annual meeting, held
November 3, 1873 in which he shows the
company to be in sound financial condi.
ton. Il appears that the company has an
excess of assets UP to that date over ana
above its liabilities of some S5O00 including
$4,000 of bonds, which, with the net receipts
OF $4,000 per month tor November and De-
Gem Der. makes total Of some 900 on
the frat day Of January, with sufficient
quantity of coal on hand and paid for to run
the works for the next six months.
The company has laid nine miles of addi-
tional main pipes, and erected 81 addi-
tional street lamps and service pipes since
the completion Of the works, besides other
important improvements, making total
of eighteen miles of mains and 622 street
lamps. The last years receipts show an in
crease Of s6i97 50 over the preceding year,
with large increase in the number OF con
sumers.
We congratulate the company on its fine
showing. After having used it's earnings in
order to make these improvements and ex-
tensions, they have added that much to its
actual capital and intrinsic value. 1t is
now able to start Oft on the first day Of
January with surplus of some $4,000 and
large supply of coal, and, as the seere
tary Informs us in his report, the net earn
ings PER month are $4,000, being equal to
ten per cent on its capital stock of 100000
which ought to make it one Of the best
stocks for investment in the market.

WAR.

The news from Havana last night was Of
war with the Spaniards in Cuba is inevita
bic. The newly appointed Captain General
has chosen to resign rather than surrender
the Virginius TO our government, ard in
this course he is sustained by the
dominant party in Havana. Thus Cuba is
in open rebellion against the Spanish gov
ernment. The duty Of our Congress, now
fortunately in session, is unmistakable, and
forty eight hours will probably show that
it will not shirk its responsibilities. Let
those, therefore, who wish to spend their
winter with the army in Cuba get them
selves ready for the final word, which will
doubtless come ere many hours.

situation has, however, greatly relieved the
gloom, and Mr.. Ogden, the only member OF
the Peoples Committee now in Washington,
expresses himself satisfied that nothing
that has occurred will prevent thorough
investigation of the whole matter, and feel,
confident of the ability Of his committee to
compel an investigation and overthrow the
Kellogg government. 'n
He adds that he is working upon the
Senate, and expects to make so clear case
before the new Committee on Elections and
Privileges that its report will control the
action OF the government 1t is now evi-
dent the great contest will take place
before this committee which was appointed
to-day, and to which the credentials of Me
Millen and Pinchback have already been
referred. 1t will be new fight, as the
work Of the last committee elapsed with the
expiration of the old Senate. The commit
tee is we'll composed and the trial of this
important case will, no doubt, be thorough.
The fate of the Louisiana case seems now
to be regarded as in its hands.

RilIiardS.

A match game was played last evening
at the st. Charles Exchange, between
Henry Miller and Frank Maggioli, the
present amateur champion, Miller giving
the odds of 200 points in 600. A large
audience assembled the game having at
tracted great deal of attention. Betting
was rather lively at first, the odds AIaggioli
received making him the favorite. The
stake was 500 side. With the exception
of once, when he run forty-two, Miller was
behind from the start He complained
several times that his ball was not true, but
the referee decided that the game having
commenced with that set. a change could
not be made unless by consent. When the
game was about one-third finished, Maggi-
oil agreed to change the balls, but Miller
played no better. lie wss beaten l23

The New POstOffice Boxes,

If persons who find they have not the
same numbered postoffice lock boxes as un-
der the old arrangement will strive to I'M
derstand the fact that the numbers on the
new lock boxes do not correspond with
those formerly il use, they will, perhaps,
realize that Postmaster Ringgold does not
deserve all the swearing at the dsappoint-
ed INDUCED in. And the disappointed d
will soon ceaseto have cause to complain if
they will but promptly notify their CORE
spondents of the change in their address.
Great benefits ofttimes have slightly incon-
venient attachments.

A Startling Report.

Passengers by the LaBelle. from Red river,
bring the narrowing report that Judge
Cuny, the successor of Judge Crawford, SO
recently assassiuated IN cold blood, has also
been murdered We have no means of
verifying this rumor and truly hope it is
not true; but outrages repeated time and
time again in the past justify US in believ-
ing thai almost any crime may with i'm
punity be committed in that unfortunate
section Of our State.
The murder Of Judge Cuny is said to
have been perpetrated at Columbia, in Winn
parish. We shall await more definite in
forma ton with great anxiety.

The following additional proceedings Of

Sypher and Sheldon were seated, have been

Dir. Batler, Of Massachusetts,, called up
his resolution offered yesterday, declaring
that Syphtr, Sheldon and Pinckback, of
Louisiana, have prima facie rights to seats
in the House, and that they be admitted to
take the oath O. Office.
Mr.. Beck suggested as substitute, by
referring the whole matter to the Com
mittee on Eiecfnns
During which discussion the Presidents
message was received, and Clerk McPher
son, at fifteen minutes past one, began to

mission Of Mr.. Sypher-agreed to; yeas l68

The spaniards in New York Denounce
Admiral Polo and the Protocol.
A number OF Spaniards met in this city
to-day, in ansW er to a call which had been
freely circulated, to protest against the pro-
tocol entered into by Secretary Fish and
Admiral Polo in regard to the Virginius af-
fair j. Ferrer de CantO presided and de-
nOunced Admiral Polos action, and said
that his views would be indorsed by every
leading Spaniard on this side of the Allan
tic.
He had, he said, received letters TO thi
effect from Spanish residents of other cities.
Other speakers followed, contending that
the United States had no right to interfere
with the execution of the Virginus pris-
Oners, and arguing that, according to a
treaty previously existing between the
two governments, the prisoners could not
claim protection of the American flag,
as the act of carrying arms against
a nation with which the United States
was at peace forfeited their citizenship.
The meeting agreed to issue an address to
the citizens of Spain, setting forth that
the Spanish residents of New York have no
sympathy with, and do not countenance
Admiral PolO's action. 1t will also protest
against the Spanish governments accept
ance of the terms of the United States gov
ernment.~

If it cost only SO 900 it was cheap, and,
therefore, it is somewhat singular that it

Another of the Virginius Victims.

Among the murdered m,n of Santiago
was Captain j. c. Harris, late Of Marshall
town, Iowa. 1t is stated that he went to
Cuba on the Nirginius with no purpose of
interfering in the contest now going on
there, but on private business. During the
late war he acted as a Union scout. and
rendered valuable service 10 the country.
Harris was one of those executed with Cap
tain Fry, who was in coUmaud Of the Vir-
ginius, on the seventh of last month.

Louisiana Jockey CiUb-POsfpOncTent.

For variety of reasons, chief anon z
which, perhaps, might be named the non
arrival of certain stables and the threaten
irg indications Of the weather. the Louis
lana Jockey Club has postponed the open
ing of the fall meeting just one week from
date announced. This will bring the open
ing day to the thirteenth OF December.
We regard this move as quite judicious.
1t is true that some few may be disap-
pointed. but the additional eclat that will
will more than compensate.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Opera.

Last night "Le Trouvere" was rendered
in grand style. We have already particu-
lariZed the excellence of the several per-
formers in this popular lyric drama. We
have not now time or space to snimadvert
upon Eerdi's woful lack of artistic excel
lence in foisting upon an indulgent public a
collection of tuneful airs and harmonious
chOruses IN lieu of grand opera, hut this we
do admit-that II Trovatore" with an
American audience is always popular for
it is always understood.
The music Is easy, graceful, and ever pop
