current of public opinion has pronounced

MRS. MAGGIE VAN COTT.

The announcement in the REPUBLICAN
| that this lady would preach in AlAes
| Methodist Episcopal Church on Sunday las,
drew to that spacious and comfortable place
of religious worship very large number Of
persons during the morning and evening
services Of that day.
The fame of Mrs. Van Cott as successful
female revivalist had evidently preceded
her advent in New Orleans, and sufficiently
| overcome very natural prejudice agains,
what some might deem a deviation from
the proper duties of woman to fill the
church with portion of our most intelli-
gent and respectable citizens of both sexes.
And the first effort ts of this lady in our city
in behalf OF religion have not detracted
from her character as successful advocate
of the salvation of human souls.
With more than ordinary mental ability,
Mrs. Van Cott combines physical powers
and commanding presence that do not
fail to make favorable impression upon all
who have witnessed her pulpit efforts. If
not gifted with high degree Of eloquence,
she is certainly earnest and graceful III her
style or delivery. Her voice, though not
musical, is clear and strong. and go meau-

work; work that should gaia for hsr tie
blessings Of tho Southern people aad would
give her crown Of glory in the world 70

hsr work in New Orleans the great female
sovivalist Of the present day has met with
unprecedented success. Her exortati6ns in
behalf OF religion and salvation are listened
to with great interest by the crowded audi
ences that gather around her, and if she
fails to make as many converts to the cause
OF righteousness as admirers to her earnest
pleadings in behalf Of sinners, it will no t
be for the lack of energy on her part In be-
seechiDg all to be saved
Mrs. VAN Cott, it is understood, will con-
tinue her labors throughout the week at
the Ames Methodist Episcopal Church, com
mencing at tweeve o'clock each day and at
half-psst seven in the evening. She is as
sisted in her good work by the Rev. Mr..
Hartzell and the Rev. Mr.. Morrow.

THE GRANT PARISH PRISONERS
A NIISTRIAL IN THE CASE
THE JURYMEN ARE DISCHARGED


Late last evening Judge Woods, United
States Circuit Court, received note from
the jury sitting in judgment on the Grant
parish prisoners, informing him that there
was no likelihood Of their agreeing on a
verdict. On this the court ordered the
prisoners up from the Parish Prison and
notified counsel for defense.
At eight o'clock the court was opened and
the jury called in.
Judge Woods read the note from Mr..
Millspaugh, foreman, and asked each mem
Der if it was true that they could not agree
They severally responded that there was
no possible chance for them to arrive at a
verdict, either through argument or time.
Intimation was given that as to one of
the accused, Alfred C. Lewis, a verdict
could be arrived at, and subsequent pro-
ceedlngs disclosed the fact that he was
pronounced act SuiItye and b rsA &C.
quilted.
Judge Woods very distinctly, AID On two
occasions, aeked the Jury if there was any
dispute - to the law OF his charge, and the
answer Wa that there va neas.
Tho Judge, Iearniag that the Jury could
not or would not agree, asked District At.
torney Beckwith ii he was willing that aa
order Of mietriAl should bs entered. That
official had nothing to cffer in opposition,
and counsel for defense made the same
declaration, leaving the disposition to Judge
Woods.
On this the court ordered Clerk WolAey
70 enter on his minutes . mistrial in the
case. except ~ to Nj. Lewis, acquitted.
On motion Of District Attorney Beckxith,
tho accused were semAnded to prison, -
there are sevsral moro charges pending
sgainst them. This includes M. Lewis,
Who viii b tried again On ether indict,

When the jurymen vers released from

Of them how they hsd stood during tho
siege. A. the commencement three were in
favor Of finding all. except Lew;., gail.y Of
capital pnniehnene AZ another staes, all
except two jurymen favored finding Had

guilty, as charged. Then there was
change, and eleven were for acquiting
Cruikshank, Hadnot and Hickman, the
for conviction of all but Lewis. After this
there was but little discussion, and each
member tried to pass the time as best he
could under the circumstances.

1ne Ismes report, yestefoAy afternoon,
Of tho case Of Adams ". Goodrich. in the
Fifth District Court, was entirely erroneous
both In Its statement Of the point to be de-

Cullom. Every lawyer who practices in
bis court knows that hs would sendes 40
such q decision es this:
An engine had been sold to plantes, and
short time after this place was seized and
sold. Plaintiff recorded his privilege, and
prayed to have it recognized even against
the prior mortgage. The judge recognized
the privilege, and ordered the purchaser Of
the plantation to pay the amount of the
note.
Such report does great injustice to the
learning of the judge and the intelligence
of the reader, but no donbt seems all right
to the Times. What the point was, and
how decided, may be learned by turning to

MS NE speaks more eloquently than could
the effort OF the most gifted orator. That
coffin, in which is laid away to rest all that
is mortal Of the mighty dead. is the ros-
trum; the lips, that were wont in life to
demand and argue the rights of all men,
still plead from the tomb the cause OF uni
versal liberty.
Referring to the career of Charles Sum-
ner, there was one incident in his life th at
caused the heart of the black man TO bleed.
But few years ago, when that man stood
IN his position in the United States Senate,
when, after having overcome the champion
OF the South in logical debate, the assassin's
bludgeon was brought to bear as the closing
argument when Charles Sumner fell under
brutal assault, the hearts OF black men
bled.
Now that our great champion has passed
away, look around me to see upon whom
among the mighty Of the land his mantle
may fall. There are undoubtedly still left
among US men OF as great intellect, as
learned as he, but looking around me now,
fail to note one who could be said to be
worthy to be Charles Summers successor
Sumner is gone, but his work is lett to
be yet thoroughly finished. The great work
begun by him in early life, and for which
he toiled for over twenty-five years, needs
still completion.
Though he had lived to see black man
occupying she seat once occupied by Jetfer-
son Davis. and though such an event may
h&ve been 70 him sufficient proof that the.
labor Of his life had me: with due reward
Jet he paused not in his efforts.
The speaker concluded by = review Of
Charles Summers earlier efforts 10 che cause
Of liberty. He adverted to the contrast that
had been sought to be drawn, hy speaker
who had preceded him, between Charles
Sumner and Millsrd Fillmore. The speaker
said those names should not be named in
one breath. Fillmore was Z politician. while
Sumner was an American statesman. Fill.
moro, when President, had signed the fugi.
tive slave act, and it had remained for
Charles Sumner to have this cSuel IAw
blotted out Of existence.
Tho speaker referred to Sumner's last
words, relative to the civil rights bill, and
said that when thak measure should have
been fully adopted, and tho zights Of the
black man fully respected in hotels. on
eteamboAta and in Ill places Of public re-
sort. then might tho lifelong mission Of
Charles Sumner b considered - complete
Then might the houses DO properly deco
rated, and fitting mementoes be displayed
in honor Of the great deceased.
The speaker concluded with tie apt quo.
tation: ...:
We tel! thy death without sigh,
For thou art freedoms now, and fameoo
That were not born TO die.
