MutiDy on Board the Steamboat James
Howard.

A special dispatch from Cairo to the St.
Louis Globe, dated May IA, says:
This morning, when the steamer James
Howard was Just above Halls Point, Ten
nessee, the mate ordered one of the deck
hands to perform some duty, which he re-
fused to do. Thereupon the mate had the
boat landed, and attempted to put the re-
fractOry deckhand ashore. When this at
tempt was made. about a dozen of the crew
interferej and pitched into the mate. The
carpenter came to his rescue, and both he
and the mate were pretty roughly handled
When the boat arrived at Hickman, Ken
lucky, Captain Pegram sent the following
dispatch to Cairo:
.'Have your sheriff meet us with tug be-
low the city with a large posse. Bring tif-
teen handouts.
"B. r. PEGRAM. Master"
On receipt of the above, Sheriff Irwin was
informed of the matter, and collecting a
posse, took the tug Montauk and met the
howard at the point below the city. The
mutineers were placed on board q barge
which the tug had in tow, brought up and
safely lodged in Jail. Warrants, charging
them with mutiny, will be made out to-
morrow, and they will no doubt receive the
punishment they deserve, as the officers of

THE GRANT PARISH PRISONERS

THE GRANT PARISH PRISONERS.
Trial i. the United States Circuis Cesrt.
Judges Bradley and Woods sat in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday to
try the Grant parish prisoners, j. w. Cruik-
shank and others, charged with conspiracy
and murder in Colfax, Grant parish, in the
month of April, 1873. This is the second
trial on the same charge, at the first trial
the jury failing to agree On verdict.
Mr.. Whitaker, for the defense, read a
challenge to the entire jury, giving several
reasons. First, because the jury was not
drawn as near as practicable to the laws Of
Louisiana. Because the drawing had been
made in such q manner as to make c0lored
men in large majority. Also because Of
some irregularity not specifically stated.
One reason after another was spoiled,
and finally the court decided that the
challenge did not possess sufficient weight
to interrupt proceedings.
Jufyulen and witnesses were called,
pearly all of them responding.
United States District Attorney Beck
with seemed inclined to waste but little
time in questioning those who were called
to the Jury box, but the defense were very
searching in their interrogations, chal-
lenging freely. In one instance . man was
asked concerning his profession, when he
answered that he was q policeman. De-
fense informed him that he was exempt
from jury duty by law, and indirectly en-
deavored to induce him to avail himself of
said provision. but Mr.. Juryman would not
see it. Judge Bradley read the section,
and declared that although man is ex-
empt by the clause, it does not debar him
from sitting, if he chooses to-the exemp.
tiOn does not prevent any person acting a.
a juryman.
This questioning consumed much time,
and it was nearly five o'clock when eight
jurymen were secured. Their names are as
follows, all white:
John Mulvey, Alexander Mckee, Thomas
Kelley, Joseph Destiugue, J. c. Gapns,
George D. Wright, Charles Barnard, Flor
vile Foy.
The court will cit at ten O'Clock this
morning and probably complete the Jury.
Judge Bradley announced that he would
to day sit by himself, holding court for
other cases. while Judge Woods will try
the Grant parish prisoners.
The court room was packed with people,
all of whom appeared greatly interested in
the proceedings.
Prosecution and defense have long lists
of witnesses, and Mr.. Beckwith intimated
that the case would last at least two weeks

inmates Of the house started to find what
had become of the missing man. They
walked nearly a mile, when they came up
on a scene that almost took their senses

Death of General Hartsuh.

All whose fortune it was to know Major
General George L. Hartsuff, of the United
States army, are panied to- learn of his
death, which occurred at the Sturtevant
House, New York, last Friday night. Cen
eral Hartsuff was graduate OF the Militia
ry Academy at West Point, and entered
service as lieutenant of artillery in 1852.
He was appointed captain in the adjutant
generals department in 1861. He was
made brigadier and afterwards major gen.
eral of volunteers in 1862, and was actively
engaged during the rebellion, as brigade,
division and corps commander. After the
war he came to this department as lieuten-
ant colonel and assistant adjutant general,
assigned to duty on tho staff of General
Sheridan. He also remained for time in
that capacity during the command of Gen.
eral Hancock here. OF the old school, he
was a courteous gentlemanIand a noble
soldier. .
The record of his military life is an envi-
able one. He retired from active service,
June 9,:lS7l, with the highest rank held
by him in the volunteer service. Subse-
quently, he went to Europe. partially to
benefit his health, and also as agent for the
American Gatling gun manufacturers. Gen
eral Hartsuffs death was caused by pneu
monia, and was SO unexpected that but a
few days before he was announced to pre-
side over one of the corps meetings at the
reunion at Harrisburg, and intended to be
present. The good man has answered g
higher summons. Personally, he had moi
an enemy in the world; he was a true
friend, and his memory will be long cher
ished by his old comrades in arms, ani
those who knew him we'll in civil life.

This piece is a most difiult one for anna
teurs, and one calculated to try the strength
of any company of professionals. Like
most French dramas it is full OF action, and
action and the words must be simultaneous
to be effective. But few actors would be
willing to be judged by their performance
of D'Artagnan. 1t is vagabond, reckless
character, of the Don Cesar De Ba-an
type, and difficult to act with the ease and
dash it requires. Mr.. Pickles was accept
able in the part We have not space to
comment on the achievements of each per

ably successfully performed. The costumes
were correct, and the prompter had but lit

than it would ordinarily get in any theatre.
