Further Returns OF the Elections.
New YORK, November IA Kansas dis
patch says that eighty seven legislative dis
tricts heard from give the opposition sixty

to the opposition a majority on Joint ballot.
The Senate has Republican majority of
twenty.
The New Jersey Senate has fourteen Re-

JACKSON, Miss, November 7.-The re-

three counties have full reports in. Ames'
majority is given thereby at 26.56. Those
counties always go Republican, and when
official returns are received from other
counties the majority will, perhaps, be some
what less than now estimated. The vote
was very light everywhere. The Republi

Court Items.


Pierre Bertin is again and more firmly
entwined in the meshes of the law. No
matter what indictment is still pending, no
matter whether he is to have new trial, or
there is still another chance for the Supreme
Court to lucubrate on the soundness of the
burglar Interpretation of mean and tuum.
For this last otfense there is no escape.
There can be no doubt but that he can be
convicted OF prison breaking. His female
confederates are already indicted for fur
nishing him with implements to escape
with. For them the punishment may with
propriety be made light. But this des-
perado, who has been the teri or of this
community for years, and has cost the State
and city more than $4,000, should receive
no mercy. The statute says that for his
offense be shall be punished by fine or i'm
prisonment, or both, at the discretion of the
court. Judge Abel, therefore, has it in his
power to cut the Gordian knot of legal
bubble which has fastened the community
to this convict, by sentencing him to the
Penitentiary for life. When that sentence
is served out the other indictments now on
file may be taken up, if it is desirable to
convince him of hereafter

Laura keeue.

Our telegraphic dispatches announce the
death. in New York, of Miss Laura Keene,
the actress. This lady was boru in Eng
land in the year 1880, and made her first
appearance on the stage, when quite young
at the Lyceum Theatre, London, then under
the management of the celebrated Nine.
Vestris She was soon after engaged by
the senior Wallack, and appeared at his
Broadway Theatre in New York in Sep
tember, 1852. She at once became favor

new theatre was built for her in New York,
called Laura Keene's Theatre. now known
as the Olympic, which was opened Novem-

pieces enjoyed long runs, the former bring

The virsinius.

The news of the shooting of the Cuban
patriots Barnsba Varoni Pedro Ces2edes,
Jesus del Sol and General Ryan by the Cap
tain General following so close on the intel
ligence of the capture of the virginius
must cause thrill of horror in the breast
of every lover of liberty. We are told
they were brought before q competent tri-
bunal and tried as pirates This was of the
date of November g. Another dispatch of
the same date says they were shot on the
fourth. And it also appears that the gov
eminent at Washington was no better in
formed than the public at large. On that
day it " as decided that scare will be taken
to be satisfied on all points now involved"
1t is also stated that our consul at Santiago
will act in conjunction with the consul
general at Havana. This is consoling.
Probably as a Christmas story we will
have report of what this latter official was
about to do November l, but didn't.
The wires are particular in speaking of
the exultating extravaganza of the Havana
people, spurred, no doubt by their dread
OF the volunteers and the desire to please
thsnew Captain General, at the capture Of
these pirates" Pirates! They may have
been American citizens as well as Cuban
freemen. But what chance have they had
to prove its Their offense should be tried
by international law, but the Spaniards
have murdered them before it could be ap-
pealed to.
Pirates Are those pirates who cause a
larger naval force to be stationed in Cuban
waters than the United States boasts of
And is the cause for which they have fought
a piratical one, when on land it's adherents
have confined their oppressors to one-third
of the island? The thunder of the artillery
of Vincent Garcia, making his morning at
tack on the. trocha, had hardly died away
when the rattle of the fusillade was heard.
1t was in revenge for this attack that the
Spaniards murdered the prisoners from the
Virginius.
The deed is done. Our government can
do no good now except to honor the memory
of these martyrs. But let it be no longer
forsetful that we have repudiated the
feudal doctrine of "once subject always
subject" Let it hold the authors of this
outrage to a strict accountability. By
authors, we mean Spain and Consel Gen
eraI Torber. Why has the latter taken no
action We want to hear from Linn. Is he
still oblivious of the insults to our govern
ment, which have become almost time hon
ored by repetition And if wrong has been
dons US and the victims of the tyranny of
Spain, let us have revenge; and the fullest
and most complete revenge is the recogni-
ton of the belligerency of Cuba.

HAVANA, November 4.-The tribunal at
Santiago, de Cuba before which the prison
ers captured in the Virginius were brought,

pedes, Jesus del Sol and General Ryan to

Address of the Captain General.
Captain General Jouvellar to-day issued
an official address. He says there is nothing
of such pressing interest to public good
and the prestige and honor Of the nation as
the restoration of the normal state of af-
fairs in the island of Cuba. HeprOposes to
subject everything to this elevated consid-
GRAFTON within the limits of the laws.
The social question and exigences of the
present epoch will be the object of special
mediation and conscientious study. Not
withstanding that war has been initiated,
he will seek to determine upon the best plan
for changing the condition of the laborer,
keeping in view the agricultural interests
and rights of theproprietor, and maintain
ing the productive industry and general
good of the country. He had, as the basis
of his policy, the principle that the mission
Of all governments is to protect; cOnse-
quently, the fears that inconsiderate resolu-
tions and extreme measures will be adopted
ought to cease.
Confidence must be restored, for without
it the re-esta blishment of public credit
would be impossible. The address con-
cludes: All may be assured that will Gem
ply with the Instructions of the national
government, viz To be untiring in my ef-
forts to procure peace, to encourage credit
and pursue fraud, taking care that none of
the great interests Of the island suffer while
act as your governor.

Complimentary.

Recently Mr.. Frank Gainn;e, well
known and exceedingly popular young
merchant Of this city, has announced his
intention to remove to St. Louis, where he
has perfected arrangements to go into part
nershlp with son of our fellow-citizen,
Mr. l. N. Marks. Mr.. Gainnie has for the
past eight or nine years been member of
the house Of E. K. Converse g. Co., and has
won the esteem and confidence of all with
whom business has brought him in contact.
Some Of his friends, therefore, decided to
signalize the occasion of his departure with
an affair well calculated to create a lasting
Impression on his memory. Asplendid gold
watch and chain was purchased from the
first class jewsler, NJ. SCOOTER, manufactured
by Geneva house expressly for that gen
tleman stem winder, chronometer balance,
and one of the finest ever made, with a
chaste and very heavy chain, and . num-
Der Of friends invited to the warehouse of
Messrs. Deeves, Hubbs g. Co. to meet the
recipient and take a parting glass OF wine
with him.
Promptly at one o'clock, very large
number of wholesale merchants and repre-
sencatives of business houses met at the
appointed place, where everything had
been quietly placed in readiness, including
lunch table we'll spread. Mr.. w. C. Ray
mond, of the firm of Keep, Raymond g.
Co.. was asked to make the presentation
speech, which he did in very well timed
and sensible address, somewhat compli-
mentary to Mr.. Gainnie, it is true but
every body declared every word of it was
just and well deserved. He took occasion
to describe what is expected OF high toned,
honorable merchant brave in times of
doubt and danger, and one whose word is
as good as or better than bond, and such
he declared be had ever found his young
friend during long acquaintance. Mr..
Raymond is very good speaker, and if he
were not a successful merchant we might
recommend him to turn politician. In this
case, however, be clearly had his audience
with him, and all he said complimentary to
the young gentleman in whose honor the
company had assembled received ready
affirm ative responses.
Mr.. Gainnie returned thanks for the beau
tiful present, and professed his inability to
respond in appropriate language to the
very complimentary terms in which he had
been addressed by Mr.. Raymond. He attrib-
uted the credit of any good qualities which
his friends found in his character to the
teachings of Mr.. Converse, who he said had
raised him and made him what he is. At
the conclusion, Mr.. Converse was called for
who being just at that time engaged in cut
ting the strings, got up on a low platform
and told them that the only speech he was
prepared to make was-"Take drink" To
which immediate compliance was given.
The watch was then examined and ad-
mired by everybody, and another drink
passed round. The present is simply in
scribed IF. G.-from his New Orleans
friends, November Z, 1873"

BRASHEAR CITY, November I, lS1

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,
In your issue of to-day notice the Pica-
ysae's proceedings of the St. Mary McEnery
mass meeting and ny appointment as
a delegate to their convention. Having had
no participation in the last election on the
Fusion si1e, and having always been an
earnest Republican. can not conceive why
such an appointment as mine could have
been made, and therefore reject it in toto.
In regard to your remarks that Kellogg
had appointed me member Of the council
of the town of Brashear, regret to state
that he tried to remove me from that ap-
pointment. | hold a commission from his
predecessor in Office, Governor Warmoth,
aud am now fighting the matter through
the courts. | would also add that | am
colored man, and that the councilmen of
Brashear, according to the town charter,
receive no pay; but as a taxpayer l hold to
my commission. WILLIAM JONES.

A Sensible Man.

The malcontents of St. Mary having nomi-
mated Mr.. Rene Macready, Of Brashear, to
the McEnery convention, that gentleman
comes forward to deny the right of the De
mocracy of that parish to use his name with
out bis permission. st. Mary is hard up
for material, we should judge, this being
the second case OF a man being chosen who
had no business to be.
