SOUTHERN NEWS.



BRAsmEAR CITY, La, May Go p. m
Great excitement exists all over the parish.
The people are determined to resist the forty
metropolitans who arrived here to-day.
They are closely watched by the citizens,
and it is said that any overt act on their
part will be promptly resisted. No colored
men are to be seen on the streets, and every
thing is seemingly quiet.
FRANKLIN, La, May 6-lO25, p. m
The latest information from St. Martins
vile indicate that fight is inevitable, and
will probably take place early tomorrow.
About 25 well mounted and well armed
men have left here since night-iall for St
Martinsyille, to resist Kellogg's army.
Great excitement prevails.
NEW IBERIA, La, May 6-9.55 p. NJ
There was heavy firing on the picket line
this afternoon, at St Martinsville. The
citizens were driving the Kellogg pickets
in. A battle may take place at any mo-
ment 1t is reported that the Kellogg army
hold the bridge crossing the Bayou, thus
preventing an attack from the rear.
New ORLEANS, May 6, 4 p. m.-Seyeral
gun stores were broken open by the mob to-
night, and robbed of their contents. The
excitement in the city is subsiding since it
is currently reported that Gen. Emery has
consented to send company of Federal
troops to protect the metropolitans, who
seem to be in danger at St. Martinsville-

We give to-day the conclusion of the tes-
tlmony before the Vermont Central lnvesti-
eating Committee, which has so burdened
our columns of late, together with report
of the final effort of the gentleman who
arrogated to himself the position of public
prosecutor. 1t seems to us that the counsel
for the trustees might very well, for the
sake of the public if not of the committee,
have devoted a few words to showing how
much of Mr.. Davenport's TRADE was fact
and how much fancy, and in pointing out
the numerous instances in which his asser-
tons were in direct conflict with the testi-
mony. But they doubtless know their own
business best. They are probably safe in
asserting that an intelligent committee will
not set down John Gregory Smith, Law
renee Brainerd, Joseph Clark, B. P. Cheney
and Worthington C. Smith, as swim
dlors," . plunderers, - peculators, 4"
" scoundrels - and " thieves" simply be-
cause Mr.. Davenport calls them by such
opprobrious names The pressure on our
space compels us to defer expression of our
own conclusions from some of the facts
elected. Meantime an intelligent cor
respondent, whose name, Unpublished, would
add weight to his opinions, mentions some
considerations worth remembering at this
time.

The Railroad Investigation.

REMARKS OF GOVERNOR SMITH.
While the examination of Gov. Smith
was in progress on matters relating to the
Montreal & Vermont junction railroad, it
will be remembered Mr.. Davenport objected
to Mr.. Smiths making any but a categori-
cal answer to his questions. Gov Smith
claimed the right to explain points needing
explanation, and in indignant protest
against the course taken by the cousel for
the State, he said:
thank the committee kindly; lam not
willing ,as a citizen of the State of Vermont,
to stand and be charged directly, and be
proceeded with, if the committee please, on
the theory that | am a scoundrel. | know
of no law that compels me to stand here
and be denounced as convict, till there is
proof that am such. The Legislature of
Vermont has authorized you to investigate
charges against its citizens and its institu-
tons. came here, if the committee please,
in good faith, to answer to every charge !;

The distance from Burlington to Essex
