The Capture Of Mana Sahib.

Tbs report that Mana Sahib is alive and has
been captured will recall one of the most hor-
rible crimes of our time, the most inhuman
which occurred in British India since the
Black Hole of Calcutta was the scene Of dread
full torture This Indian was at one time high
in the confidence of some British officers in
India, and abused his position for the advan-
June of that year he captured Cawnpore, and
by deceiving Sir Hugh Wheeler, obtained pos
session of all the British in that town. The
story Of the massacre that followed, in which
neither men, women nor children were spared.
and the cruelties he inflicted upon his prison
ers, though it is seventeen years since the
bloody deed was done, are still remembered
with horror.
The entire civilized world was sickened and
shocked, and in Great Britain the popular in
dignation amounted to an absolute fury. Mana
Sahib was the acknowledged author of that
massacre, and extraordinary efforts were made
for his capture. His army was defeated by
Sir Henry Havelock in 1858, but he escaped.
If he still ives-and the British government
has received from India confirmation of his
capture-the report of his death in 1858 NAV
have been spread by himself in order to obtain
greater degree Of safety. But that for six
teen years this man, on whom q nation has
wreaked its uttermost hatred, should have
been able to avoid discovery is wonderful He
will not escape again, and his fate is certain.
The English press demands the immediate
trial and execution of Mana Sahib, and even
his ignominious death will hardly satisfy the
English people who burn to avenge the cruel
ties he committed. There is joy in England
that the grave has not yet hidden from long
delayed justice this traitor of Cawnpore.

There is widow in Winona who never did
anything useful until after her husband died,
and left her half dozen children to take care
Of She thought great deal Of her husband,
but he did not leave her enough substance to
buy him gravestone, and this fact set her to
work. She determined that the poor mans
grave should have respectable mark. So
she got marble slab and went to work on it,
making gravestone for the departed. Thus
she began to carve out her fortune. She
finished the work and learned the trade of a
stone-cutter at the same time. She soon did
some other marble work and offered it for sale.
It proved acceptable, and she was given per-
manent place in marble-yard, and is making
regular artisans wages and keeping her family
in good style. Sometimes husband does
turn out benefit to q woman, though she
may not realize his use until she loses him.

KELLOGG,S WEAKNESS IN HIS OWN
PARTY.

New Orleans Correspondence Of N. Y. Tribune. ]
It would not be too much to say that Kel-
logg, Of his own resources, cannot at this mo-
ment command respect OF enforce obedience
in the most insignificant local emergency.
For example, just previous to the revolution
he had, by force of arms, and in plain defiance
of an order of one of his own courts, closed
all the private markets in town. After the
18th of September the markets reopened, and
though there is An act of the Legislature
abolishing them-the same act by virtue of
markets are still in operation, nor does there
seem any prospect of their closing. The man
seems absolutely powerless.
In election matters he meets with certain
quasi recognition, because the white people
are anxious to vote and will accept any meas
ure to that end but in nothing else that I
can discover, does his authority rise to the
dignity of substance. The true explanation
of all this is to be found in fact which peo-
pie at distance cannot readily comprehend !;
that fact is his total lack of support and re-
spect among the negroes. have already en-
deavored to describe the peculiar rdations
existing between the two races in this State.
Their mutual confidence and goodwill in
and mystery almost hopeless Of solution at
first glance
A LESSON OF THE REVOLUTION.
But the 14th of SEPTEMBER, that great en-
lightener and diviner, though by mysterious
method, resolved the problem. can not see
now that the negroes have always believed the
whites wished to re-enslave them; that their
rights would be taken from them the moment
the whites got into power; that their very
lives depended on their maintaining Repub-
ican rule and perpetuating the lease of car
petbaggery. Kellogg's gang lived by this.
It was their first object to impress it on the
minds Of the negroes, and accession to
Office followed as o natural consequence
The 18th of September revealed this
policy and at the same time under
mined it. It is aremafkable fact here in
the city, as well as throughout the country
parishes, the accession of the whites to power
was distinguished by the most scrupulous and
conspicuous kindness toward the negroes
During the two days in which they held abso-
Int control of New O;leans, ard similarly
everywhere in the country, there wal not a
single act of violence or demonstration of en-
nifty. The negroes were surprised at this
but gradually realized its truth and meaning,
and their indifference to Kellogg and contempt
for his Representatives, as now developed.
spring wholly from that realization. They
learned, through the medium of the 18th Of
September, what no argument or assurances
would ever have taught them, and the fruit of
this lesson has been quick in its coming

Among the enemies of Louisiana to-day
there is not one who is more malignant OF
more denunciatory of the people than A. P.
Field, Kellogg's plant Attorney General, the
mao who filled the Northern papers but re-
Gently with vituperation of the rebels, and
whose last essay was to disfranchise nearly
10000 of our citizens.
A copy Of the N. O. Delta of May 25th,
1862, has been handed us, containing the fol-
lowing card from this man, which will very
forcibly and clearly illustrate his consistency
and patriotism. ..
1t is amazing how he has come to love those
yankees" association with whom he would
have regarded rs deflement in 1862:
To the Editors Of the Delta:
have been deeply panied and mortified by
learning that for the last three days reports
have been widely circulated through the city,
that had gone on board the Yankee fleet,
now opposite the city. have been at home
since last Saturday, quite i'll the most Of the
time and under the treatment of my physi-
clan.
So far from going on board of the fleet of
the enemies of that government in which
was born, and all my children raised, and to
whose constitution I have sworn willing
allegiance, such a thought never entered my
mind, and beg of the public, particularly Of
my friends, to give no credence to the reports
thus injuriously circulated against me.

CLOTHING MAKES THE MAN.-We would
refer our readers to the advertisement, in an
other column, of the old and well-known
clothiers, Messrs. II. B. Stevens l. Co., who
have removed to their new store, No. 1876
Canal street, where, with an entirely new and
fresh stock of clothing and furnishing goods,
they are prepared to supply the old and young,
the large and small, with the latest styles and
fashions of the day, at most astonishingly low
prices. Their adhering strictly to the one
price system, is the best evidence that they
are selling their goods at the bottom prices.
Give them call.

Extract from Judge Atocha's CHARGE to the
Grand jury OF the Superior Criminal Court,
cit is hmentable to know that individuals
claiming the highest responsibility make them

and their example encourage those who are
ever ready to take advantage of a like state of
things to 60 about with weapons concealed on
their persons ready at any moment, upon the
slightest or without any provocation, to use
them with fatal effect in many instances upon
persons innocent of their broils, accidentally

and the officers of the State and the magis-
trates of the city, will faithfully cooperate
with me in this respect, it will not be long be-

THE "ANER1CAN" NEWSPAPER.

The N. o. Republican, the great treasury
leech of Loui ,iana, and the only paper in the
world published in the newly discovered
"Amer.can" language, takes the trouble to
inform us that Mr.. Spancio, "the popular
and accomplished Republican candidate TO,
Administrator of Water Works and Public
Buildings, was natunlized by Judge Paul E.
Theard, in the Fourth District Court, in 1876
. good many years, probably before the Bull
1Er1N's paragraphist had reached the years Of
discretion"
We have no doubt the venerable Republican
paragraphist has long ago got beyond his
"years of discretion" but he will have to live
. good many additional years in Louisiana
before he can give Us information Of any value
about matters and things in this, his tenn
porary camping ground His ludicrous ignor-
ance of the manners and customs of the peo-
pie among whom he has cast his carpet-bag,
can, however, easily be accounted for.
He only speaks American" and with the
exception of the remnants of the Choctaw
tribe still lingering in st. Tammany, can find
no one to talk with in this State, except the
few unadulterated specimens of that aborigi-
nal race who squat every night in front Of the
French vegetable market. For his private
benefit, however, and the information Of his
unsophisticated readers, we beg leave to in
form him
1st That II signor Sparicio is neither sspop-
ular" nor accomplished" except, perhaps,
IS an oyster-opener and "mixologist Of very
bad liquor;
I'd. That II signor Sparicio cannot have been
naturalized BY Judge Theard in 1848, for the
obvious reason that Judge Theard was then
very small boy, and only judge Of tops and
ginger-cake.
Having thrown a ray of light on the dense
ignorance of our aboriginal neighbor. we
hope in return he will be kind enough to
give MS some information about the status of
the Herwigs, on which subject the Republican
still remains as dumb as one of Spariclo's
oysters.

CURIOUS LIFE INSURANCE CASE.

We arc not among those who entertain
doubts concerning the advissbility of people
insuring their own lives or the lives of their
friends, nor do we entertain chronic skepti-
eism as to the solvency of life insurance COM
panies On the contrary, we are firmly of the
conviction that it is the duty Of everybody
who can afford it to have his life insured in
some good company for the benefit of his
family or for those who are dependent upon
or interested in him.
There are certainly nine arguments in favor
Of lie insurance to one against it, and hence
1t il that an attempt on the part of any life
insurance company to shirk the responsible
ties which it assumes upon the acceptance Of
. risk and the issuance Of policy becomes
matter in which the entire community is in
terested. ~,
On the oath day of December, 1866, gen.
teman of this city was prevailed upon by the
agents Of certain New York life insurance
company (then and still doing business in
this city, to insure friends life for his own
benefit to the amount Of $4,000. After pay
ing the first premium the gentleman was told
by some insurance parties here that, in case
Of his friends death, he would have trouble
in collecting his money, upon which he wrote
to the President Of the company, at their head
Office in New York, telling him the conditions
under which he had insured his friend, etc.,
etc., and if not legal and right, to inform him,
20 he could withdraw at once The President
replied Immediately by letter, which the gen.
tleman still has in his possession:
"That the insurance was valid and good;
that it did not matter to their company who
held the policy, SO long as the insured COM
piled with the rules Of the company and the
premiums were paid" etc., etc. All of which
was strictly carried out. The policy, further
more, has written across the face by their
manager here, ':procf Of interest ,oaived." After
paying eight annual premiums (nearly three
thousand dollars) the insured party died
January 3lst, 1874. The insurance company
refuse to pay-saying it was an illegal trans
action. The gentleman has of course brought
suit, and we intend to further investigate the
matter. It is as it stands very remarkable
case, and one which is interesting to the
public at large.
