THE spirit of tie late James Fisk, jr.,
has been engaged to contribute articles
every week to Boston spiritual paper.
In one Of his communications the colonel
gives the startling information that he is
still employed on the Erie railway; but
the statement may be accepted not so
much as melancholy truth as a malicious
effort to injure Jay Gould's stock in the
concern.

GENERAL HEBRON, of Louisiana, sums
up the political muddle in that state very
briefly, saying that Governor Warmoth,
failing to get the Republican nomination,
traded with the Democrats for the sena-
torship, and both are very sore at their
defeat. General Heron says an inyes-
tigation will prove that the state went
Republican by fifteen to eighteen thou
sand majority,

THE investigation in the Credit Mobilier
business elicits this observation from the
New York Eceniaq Post.

w" fOfh I1UO1tHty Oot,
So far the testimony does not appear to con-
Wet any Congressman ofhaving accepted brides:
in fact, it shows that every one paid for the
shares he held; but it is damaging to the char
acter OF Congress and to the managers of this
Credit Mobilier stock, in SO far as it assumes
that Congressman can be approached with offers
of pecunlary interest in matters upon which
they have legislated or are expected to legslate
The most curious and noteworthy part Of
the whole business is that Mr.. Ames seems
totally unconscious that there was anything
discreditable in his offering stock to Con
gressmen with veiw Of enlisting theil
support. That one circumstance Sheds
some light on the way such things hay,
been hitherto regarded in Washington.

A TRAGEDY.-A peculiar and hor-
rible tragedy took place upon the
upper side Of Bayou Lafourche, near
the railroad bridge, last Sunday eve
ming between the hours of four and
five o'clock. Two colored boys, named
Fredis Minor and Alfred Joseph, the
former about Is years Of age, the lat
ter only Ii, quarelled, and Fredis
being the larger and stronger was
chastising Alfred quite severely, when
the latter drew large-bladed pocket
knife and stabbed his assailant in the
left breast, the blade penetrating near
the heart and causing instant death.
Preliminary examination of the case
was held Tuesday before Parish Judge
Cheevers, and the boy who did the
killing released on giving bond Of
$3.50 to appear before the next regular
term Of the District Court. The evil
dence taken would indicate that the
boy can be convicted only Of man
slaughter at best, and it is very prob
able his offence will be deemed justi-
fable homicide.
