Rriuadier General Leonard Gewen.

Governor Kellogg last week issued a
commission as Brigadier General in the
Louisiana State militia to Hon. Leonard
Sewell, of the Sixth District, and at the
same time authorized him TO proceed at
once to organize brigade Of troops for
the State National Guard. Governor kel-
logg has in this case made most excellent
selection. General Sewell is man whose
courage. energy and decision has been
tested under many circumstances OF ex'
treme embarrassment. and they have de
monstrated in an eminent degree his fitness
for such q responsibility as the Governor
has imposed upon him. General Sewell has
already commenced enrolling his command.
and expects in the course of the next three
months to place at the disposal Of the COM
mauder.in chief the finest body Of men
excepting the police torce-ths State OF
Louisisas s6ords.

Court Items.

The death of so eminent member OF the
bar as Judge Cooley. caused nearly all the
courts of this parish to adjourn for the day.
In the Superior District Court Joseph +.
Hornor, ESQ, made the usual motion.
Judge Cotton followed him in a few brief
but feeling remarks. Hon. G. NJ. Emerson,
paid fitting tribute to his former col
league. and Hon. J. Q. A. Fellows added an
eloquent quota to what had been said.
In the First District Court no motion
was made. the case Of Giroux being on
trial, and as the jury could not be dismissed
it was understood that the court would be
averse to entertaining any motion.
In the Second District Court Judge
Tissot, after disposing Of a few animport-
ant rules, adjourned Of his own molten.
Mr.. j. C. Coleman made the motion in the
Third and Fifth District Courts.
In the Fourth District Court. Judge Cot
ton made the motion, seconding that OF the
counsel Of the plaintiffs in the rule Of the
P.cay,.ne case. Mr.. Ogden did not have
his witness. Walker. present. To-day the
counsel are to be allowed one hour only to
introduce all the testimony they may have
to show they are entitled to new trial.
In the Sixth District Court Mr.. E. Phil
lips made few remarks on the unexpected
calamity the bar had suffered, and On his
motion the court adjourned.
Several of the police mag istrates and jas
tees OF the peace testified to the apprecia
ton in which Judge Cooley was held in the
community by adourning.

sad Death of a Lady.

Coroner Folwell was yesterday called On
to perform an uncommonly sad duty IN
viewing the body Of Mrs. Ellen Purcell,
found dead at the corner OF Clay street and
Carrollton avenue. She left her home in
Carrollton. Tuesday morning. apparently
well, but it is not clear how the unfortunate
lady strayed into such an Out-of-the-way
place. 1t is possible that in exposing her
self to the sun the excessive heat affected
her brain. She was the widow OF the late
Samuel Purcell. once mayor Of Carro.lton.
and member Of the Constitutional Con.
vention of 1864. The wife was SO greatly
devoted to her husband that even up 20 the
dav of her death. she failed to find consola'
ton in his absence: she mourned for him
even as mother may mourn for her first

sis: in performing the sad ceremonies OF the

Under the direction OF T. w. Bothick the

handsome rosewood coffin. and sealed up
before the time announced for the funeral
to take place had arrived. The coffin was
covered with flowers and surrounded by
mourning relatives and friends when the
time arrived for the performance Of the
funeral service 70 commence. This duty
devolved upon the Rev. Dr.. BewfOrd, OF the
Episcopal Church, corner Of Conrey and
Prytania streets. He read in most i'm
pressive and eloquent manner the service
of his church upon such occasions. after
which the coffin was placed in the hearse
and followed to the grave by the large con-
course of friends present. The remains were
taken to the Washington graveyard for
interment, and as that is but short dis
tance from the residence Of Judge I. j.
Cooley. a very large number OF the ladies
and gentlemen present, in honor OF the
dead, walked to the graveyard. Here the
solemn and imposing ceremonies were
closed by the Rev. DR.. Bewford. who read
the concluding portion Of the burial service
and the body of Judge Cooley was con-
signed to the grave; but before it was closed
many fair hand rendered its offering of
appropriate flowers for the occasion. The
grave was literally strewed with flowers,
and the scene vas well calculated to touch
hearts that are not accustomed TO find
solace in tears.
The death of Judge Cooley but too SEN
sibly verifes that ''in the midst of life we
are in DEATH" and should teach the leces-
sity Of being prepared for death.

Hon. II. c. Dibbie in the chair.
The minutes Of the previous special meet
ing were read. including the proceedings OF
the executive session.
On the motion to adop: them the question
was raised whether the action dismissing
Miss Shaw was legal or not.
General Longstreet and Mr.. Billings de-
sired to reopen the proceedings, that there
might be no doubt on the subject.
Messrs. Thompson. Gaudet and Clay be-
iieve the action had been correct.
Judge DibbIe was Of the opinion that the
legality of the removal was unquestionable.
Mr.. Billings only contended tor the pre-
cedent. 1t was absolutely necessary that
there should be no suspicion Of conde mna-
ton unheard. His sympathy was with the
teachers, though not with Miss Shaw. He
proposed to sustain the action of the board.
but he wanted her brought before it.
Judge Dibble showed :ha: the teachers
only held off ce during the pleasure Of the
board. The law had been made expressly
to prevent any such considerations as Mr..
Billings advanced. No term OF employment
was fixed: the teacher did not Did by virtue

Of the appointing power. The teacher takes
the appointment under these conditions.
The board alone are responsible tor her
conduct. and have the power of removal
under the rules.
General Longstreet considered the law
had not been obeyed. He desired to obey it.
On the question whether the minutes
should be add bted. there were eight votes
in favor and three against.
The action of the board on the main Gues-
ton OF dismissal was considered by Mr..
Billings to be entirely proper. The manner
was all he objected to.
Reports were submitted and referred.

LETTER FROM BATON ROUGE.
BAToS ROUGE. La, June 30. 1873.

Baron ROUGE, La, June ~, 1913.
EDITOR RErUBLIcAS:
The district court is in session az baton
Rouge. presided over by the Hon. >. l..
Cole. The Judge seems to give general
satisfaction to all but the SHINING conMu-
nifty.
i saw at the clerks Office two late re-
ports of grand iuries of this parish or the
condition Of the Jail at this place. The one'
filed short time before the Repuollcan
party came into office, reads as follows;
I'VE find the jail in very bad condition.
the cells dirty and filthy. and the prisoners
complain of bad treatment. The air within
the cells is SO foul and bad that we co not
conceive how it is possible for human oe'
ing to live there for any length Of time
Under the new order of things, the grand
jury report the same building ciean' ofoer-
" and healthy conditioned. the prisoners
being well fed and humanely treated. so
much for Republican progress.
The parish officers seem polite and ana
bic. They are composed entirely OF kepuo-
ucans, and fill their positions IN manner
creditable to themselves and the party they
represent.
The Qualification" movement has no sym
pathisers in this district. The Republicans
while they believe many Of these gentlemen
are sincere in their efforts to harmonic the
two races. know full well that their plans
viii become abortive for want Of adherents.
The Democrats, Liberals and whatnots
are bitter, and denounce Beauregard, Hays,
Gibson and others as milksops. devoid OF
political brain. They say these gentlemen
have cut -Heroded Herod; that in their
spasmodic and idiotic efforts to place them
selves forward as leaders of new party,
they have granted, without the ability to
execute, much more than the colored peo-
pie desire. Were they truly sincere they
should honestly and in good faith accept
the situation. and, like Lcngstreet. Will
hanson, Powers. Majors and other promi-
nen. ex-Confederates. become part and
parcel of the Republican party. This, in
substance. is the opinion Of all classes.
The late continuous rains have materially
injured the planting interest in this parish.
The hill lands. however, and East and West
Feliciana ir the absence of the caterpillar,
will yield more than average crop.
