DEATH OF THE SIAMEsE' Twins. ~
A dispatch from Greensboro, n. e.,
gives the encouragement Of sudden
death Of the siamcsc Twins on satur-

fact that Chang WAS paralyzed last

strongly addicted to drinking, liquors

ings. Re had been qnlte feeble for
several days, indeed so much es to
confne both brothers to bed; but his
illness was not 80 great al to cause
any anticipation of the catastrophe
that was to follow. On Friday night
they retired to bed as usual, but du-
ring the night Chang grew worse and
expired suddenly about four O'Clock
Saturday morning. AS soon as it was
discovered that he was dead Eng be-
came so terribly shocked that ho raved
wildly for while, at times exhibiting
signs of great mental alteration.
This attack was followed by what
seemed to be deadly stupor. In
two hours, it is supposed; from tbe
dca:h of Chang, Eng 'breathed his
last. There has been an eager desire
on the part Of the medical profession
to make a: dissection Of the dead
bodies, in the interests Of science.
So far the family have refused thoir
consent. Opinions differ among sur
geons as to whether The death Of one
necessarily caused that of The other.

the meeting of the Convocation in

Excellent essays were read at the

on Private Prayer" by Rev. Rob
ert ] ohnsou on "Family Worship
and by the Rev. J. D. Mccullough
on "Public Worship and b5
Robt. .stuart, Esq, on ''Lay Coop.
eration," which called, forth inter
esting discussions. An elaborate
aud beautiful essay upon the ''Lit
urgies Of the Church, was also read
by the Rev. Mr.. Miles, which was
repeated to this congregation in the
afternoon. The practice of the
early Church, going back even tc
Apostolic days, was cited in behalf
Of set prayers and prescribed forms
Of worship-a practice which wa'
sanctioned by Calvin and other re-
formers, and has only been dis
carded at the instance Of modern
innovators.: The essay closed witt
a deserved tribute to the beauty anle
impressiveness of the prayers ant
praises which make up the present
Episcopal Church service. ''"%'f'

SENATOR LOGAN

Senator Logan, of Illinois, by his
fearless defence of the rights o.
labor against the money-changer,
and jobbers of New York, has sub.
jected himself tono little s~curriloue
abuse. But he has meanwhile, de-
served we'll of all classes for his
fearless and persistent defence OF
the right. He is one of the honest
and liberal-minded white men who
fought for the freedom of the en-
slayed, and now votes for their
equal rights before the law. He
can be trusted on all the vital ques-
tons affecting either industries or
equities Of the country. We copy
the subjcined account from the
Chicago Inter- Ocean, of an incident
showing his manliness and justice
to-our race, on an occasion when
our destiny was still undecided, and
when no political Or selfish motive
could exist for his action. We will
remember him for it.: !.
"Here is a little fact in regard to
General John A. Logan. which is
stated on the authority of Governor
of Iowa. It is a good time
to relate it just now, when the Gen
eral is the subject of SO much detrac-
ton and abuse at the hands of those
newspapers which are in the interest
OF capitalists, as against masses of the
people. Governor Carpenter was.on
the staff and in the military family of
General Logan, on the famous march
from Atlanta to the sea-. and knows
whereof he speaks. On this famous
march, q certain Democratic general
gave orders to the chief of his trans-
portation, that he should take up his
pontoons as soon as his division or
corps had crossed the rivers with their
own innpedinaess&a, and not allow the
niggers'. to follow. Rebel cavalry
hung upon the rear of the advancir.o
Irmy and, it became the finest possible, i,
port for them to 60 .a-colonel;oo'
hrough those unframed and t:.inless
amR-folowers, sabering them down

THE STATE HOUSE LEASE.

The suit instituted by the Attor'
ney General in behalf of the State
VS.. The Louisiana National Build
ing Association, has been decided
by Judge Hawkins, of the Superior
Court, in favor OF the State. The
Judge granted a perpetual injunc-
ton against George c. Benham,
President, and Robert E.. Rivers,
Secretary of the association, and
also against Lieut.. Gov. Antoine
and Speaker Lowell, restraining
them from carrying out the pro-
visions of the contract, leasing the
st. Louis Hotel to the State for
nineteen years. The Judge further
decided that the lease was made
without authority of law, and de-
clared the contract of lease annulled,
and directed the Recorder of Mort
cages "to erase and cancel the lease
from the records of his Office"
Thus the State: by the vigilance Of
the Attorney General and the de-
cision of the Court, has been pro-
tected against what we are con-
strained to consider a great wrong.
The LoU1s1AN1AN was among the
FIRST, if not the very first Republi-
IAN journal, to expose and denounce
State House job, and we con-
graduate the citizens of the State,
IN the action taken for their pro-
ection, by Attorney General Field,
md the relief given by the decision
