The earlier part of the session was rather
rlotous and dsorderly. On counting the
ballot tor temporary chairman the excite

claiming to have elected their nominee. An

Ously supplied with ink but no harm done.
The convention was adjourned for thirty
-minutes. On re-assembling Mr.. Murrell, of
Madison, was elected permanent chairman.
From that time to final adjournment perfect
harmony reigned. On motion of Mr.. Nor

After adjournment the State senatorial
convention for the seventeenth district met
and T. s. johnson. of Madison, was nomi-
mated by a vote of II to l..
On adjournment of the senatorial conven-
ton the parish convention assembled and
renomlnated William Murrell to the House

Excepting the earlier part of the day and
during the balloting for temporary chair

quiet.

PERSONAL.

+ Some of our enterprising neighbors have
announced the premeditated departure OF
Governor Kellogg for the North. We are
assured by his excellency that these jour-
nails are wiser than he, for he has no such
Journey in contemplation.
F.A. Wooltley, Esq. clerk Of the United
States Circuit Court, has just returned from
trip to Western Louisiana and Eastern
Texas, where he enjoyed a few weeks
recreation as only an overworked official
can enjoy his leisure. He comes back to
his work looking stout and brown and
rugged.
We are assured by his friends that Hon.
L. H. Chadbourn will receive renomina-
ton to the Senate from the convention
which meets at St. John courthouse next
Saturday. He served his constituents with
such ability that a continuance of their
confidence follows as matter of course.
Judge A. A. Atocha and Captain j. A.
Tobin are wasting their time at Mississippi
City, utterly unconscious of the cool
weather we are having in New Orleans.

Atmospheric TeIeRraphy.

An interesting exhibition of telegrap phic
machines. worked exclusively by air was
held by Mr.. Guattaris, the inventor, in Lon
don recently. A number of different in
struments were on view, but the motive
power in every instance was excited by the
impulse given to a column of air at one end
being transmitted instantaueously to the
other end of the column. and taking effect
upon certain mechanical arrangements so
as to produce such results as might be
required. The impulse is produced at one
end of a tube by the operator, and per-
forms the mechanical work at the other
end, either by ringing a bell or turning
needle round dial. Very many contri-
vances Of telegraphing by air have been
invented, but Mr.. Guattaris claims for his
invention superiority over others in the
fact that by it complete message can be
dispatched by its means. Moreover, fatal
defect in other inventions of like charac-
ter has arisen from the fact that each air
tube could convey only one signal IN one
direction, so that telegraphic alphabet
would require twenty-six tubes for trans
mission and the same number for reply.
This difficulty Mr.. Guattaris has completely
got rid of, his instruments being worked
only by a single tube, along which the
air is impelled in each direction. The
rapidity and precision can be made equal
" tuo clcCUIlC Iclcskdpu, luo COuuuCIluS
tube being able to be laid under or over
cover in the same manner as the ordinary
telegraph. Attached to each machine is a
bell and dial, and the message is transmit
ted by the moving of small lever which
drives the air through the pipe to the other
operator. As the lever is moved up and
down the dial which stands where the mes
sage is destined for registers whatever the
words may be. Each dial is supplied with
a needle, and as each squirt of air presses
against the works Of the machine the needle
is moved exactly the number of times that
the lever is pressed. Each instrument can
either receive Of send message. The me-
chanism is not likely to become disarranged;
but it appears that the invention will not
transmit messages at any great distance.
By tie aid OF compressed air the inventor
has succeeded in conveying a message ten
miles: but without compressed air the pres
ent limit is about 400 yards. The instru
ments exhibited were designed for inter-
communication between large cotfehouses,
offices, hotels and vessels.

,se documents were intrusted to him in

these documents were intrusted to him in
confidence.
He says he has known Tilton since 1851, +,
and that he became acquainted with Beecher
in 1869, and mainly through this case. Not
withstanding the fact that he has the con-
sent OF both Beecher and Tilton to tell all
he knows about the case, and to furnish all
documents he has in relation to it, and the
additional fact that he has been twice sum-
moned before the committee. he says he can
not. in conscience and as a man of honor,
disclose any condolences placed in him.
He came into this case as a peacemaker
TO settle it, and all he has done has been in
that direction. Without his knowledge and
against his wishes, certain documents have
been published. mainly through TiltOn, and
in statement made before the committee
SO many of the original documents as he has
copies of, and which have been made pub
lie, he feels under obligations to place in
the hands of the committee, if necessary.
Moulton has had copies of all these docu.
ments made, and he handed these to the
committee, holding himself ready to pro-
duce the originals when called for Be-
yond this Moulton was not willing to make
any statement, nor did he feel himself
justified, in honor or conscience, in produc-
ing any documents, save those quoted by
Illton in his statement.
committee and copies OF the documents
quoted.
1t appears from hurried comparisons
made by the committee, that Tilton, in
quoting documents arranged them to suit
himself. In some case, only part of the
document is quoted, and various significant
passages are omitted in one case the letter
is divided by Tilton, and made to seem as
if there were two letters, apparently for the
purpose of cumulating testimony The
committee look on these charges as very
significant, and as bearing hardly against
Tilton.
Moulton was briefly cross-examined. He
reiterated what appeared in his statement,
that if any attempt was made to assail his
position, as friend of both parties he
might have to make further statement
For the present he contented himself with
furnishing the committee with exact copies
OF the documents quoted by Tilton.

FRANKLIN, La, August 1.-THE office of
the Atahapas Register, the official organ of
the parish of St. Mary, was entered last
night by unknown persons, who removed
the lever of the press, pied the standing

ST. PAUL, August 1l.-To-day's dispatches
from various parts Of the State represent
the wheat harvest nearly completed and

better than was expected, being nearly or
quite an average one, while the quality is

The Variety Dramatic Club.

The fourth complimentary entertainm ent
given by this club took place at the Varie-
ties Theatre last night. Notwithstanding
the oppressive heat, the theatre was filled,
but not crowded. 1t must be said for this
club that it does not overdo good thing,
and only a reasonable amount of tickets
are issued. The plays were well selected,
the dramas of ''All that Glitters is not Gold"
and "Dreams of Delusion" constituting the
evenings entertainment The first pisce
was cast as follows:
Sir Arthur Lassel.. I'M. T c: McCandlish
Jasper Plum. Mr. J. R. Stewart
Stephen Plum. m....................Mr. j. n. Conway
Frederick Plum. um..................M Mr.. B. A. Michel
Toby Twinkle. MI. 5. j. Cohen
harIis.. MT r. A. UT
Martha Gibbs: .............. Miss Amelia Waugh
Lady Leatherbrldge. Miss Maggie StrOudbach
Lady Valeria Westendleigh Miss Isad0Ta Dreville
The character taken by Mr.. hIcClandish
was the one best performed. Mr.. Conway
did not realize the hearty county English
man. Mr. Cohen is very clever in many of
his assumptions, but is inclined to overact.
In scenes that are not his, as professionals
term it, he should repress himself, that
other characters may have due prominence.
The lady who undertook the character OF
Lady Hestendleigh made her debut last
night. All things considered, the entire
performance last evening was a tolerable
success. The Variety Club stands we'll
among amateurs, and has many talente d
members enrolled on its active list. The
benefit Of Miss Waugh will occur on the
twenty-seventh instant.
