HOW WE ARE MISREPRESENTED.

The following is from Grants official organ
in WASH lston. 1t shows how well informed
his advis, IS are:
Armstead. the negro candidate for Secretary OF
State on the McEnery and Penn ticket in Louisi
ana, declared elected by the Fusion boards, was
not called upon to discharge the duties Of his
Office under the new regime. His place is filled
by E. J. Ellis, white lawyer. If McEnery and
Penn were legally elected so also must have been
the colored candidate who was nominated on the
same ticket, but nevertheless the rebels set him
aside, and install in his place white man who
was not voted for. This tells the whole story.
1t is not at all surprising that the President
should commit such blunders (Which are, in
fact, crimes) when be is no better instructed
than the foregoing paragraph would indicate.
Gov. Penn sent a telegram to Armistead at
shreveport, informing him of the inaugura-
on OF the legal Government Of the State, and
cuested him to come Immediately to the
.ty and take possession Of his Office of Secre-
~ of State.
E. John Ellis, "the white lawyer" is the
ominee for Congress- and the Chronicle man
Washington will see gentleman from
louisiana who will faithfully represent Lou
iSiana.

How Matt. Carpenter Makes the Edges
Cut

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.l
The connection Of Senator Carpenter and
Benjamin Butler with Louisiana affairs, of
which recent New Orleans dispatches afford
an inkling, is freely discussed here. They are
both charged with playing double game.
Certain Kellogg ofice-holders here, high in
the confidence of that timid gentleman. are
quite bold in declaring that Carpenter bled
Kellogg. He demanded five thousand dollars
for delivering an argument of twenty or
twenty-five minutes in the matter Of the writ
of prohibition. Three thousand dollars we're
paid him prior to the 10th Of January, 1873
The Kellogg folks thought that they had paid
him enough, as Caleb Gushing, better law
yer, had charged for similar services only
two thousand dollars. On the day mentioned,
January Is, 1873, the Louisiana matter
was under discussion in the Senate, and, in
replying to remarks of Judge Thurman, Mr..
Carpenter defended Judge Dureu and SOM
mended his course. Since that time, as is
we'll known, he has denounced Dureu. At
the time he introduced his bill providing for
new election in Louisiana, Mr.. Howe, his
colleague. presented an amendment that,
pending the new election, the Kellogg Gov
eminent should be recognized. This was
opposed by Thurman and others on the
ground that it would be Congressional recog-
milton of an usurpation. This amendment
was successful by majority Of one, and it is
noticeable that Carpenter voted in its favor,
thereby carrying it. This is pointed at as
showing how he veered from one side to the
other in order to make all edges cut Up to
the time that Carpenter made his famous
speech in New Orleans was in May,
l873-he had only received $1,000 from KEEL
togg, while he was demar5ing $1,000 During
his stay in New Orleans, however, he received
$1,000 more, and last December he was paid
an additional $500, making in all $500.

MARVELLOUS D1scovERY.-A certain deacon, who
was Jealous advocate for the cause of temper
ance, employed a carpenter to make some altera-
tons in his parior. In repairing o corner near
the fireplace it was fonnd necessary to remove
the wainscot, when 10. "a mares nest p" was
brought to light which sstonished the workmen
most marvelously. A brace OF decanters, sundry
bottles-an containing something to take "a
jug and tumblers. were coziy reposing there in
snug quarters. The joiner, with wonder stricken
countenance, ran to the proprietor with the intel
igence-" Well, declare" exclaimed the deacon,
that is curious, sure enough. It must be that
old Capt. B. left those things there when he occu-
be did" returned the discoverer; /" but deacon
that ice in the pitcher must have been well frozen
to have remained solid"

KELLOGG'S ADDRESS.

1t is a disagreeable task to comment upon
any statement or publication emanatIng from
Kellogg. H.. is so utterly devoid of all sense
of Justice and so 10th to tell the truth that it
seems like a waste of time to enter into any
discussion with him.
In four columns of the official organ the
usurper attempts to explain his positi On to the
people of the United States and to Justify his
official conduct He has been driven to the
publication of this letter by the almost una
nimous accommodation of his administration
and fraudulent government by the Northern
press.
The very journals that were loudest in their
expressions Of the Gsapproval of the action Of
the people hele on the memorable 14th of
September have, with singular unanimity,
changed their views of the situation. Facts
have been brought to their attention which
enabled them to understand mere correctly
the real state Of affairs, and with the new in
formation they have received, which followed
SO closely after the decisive blow was given,
the press of the country are now intelligently
and wisely discussing the matter. .
In this way very decided impression is
being made upon the minds of the people all
over the country, and it is sentiment that is
Enthusiastically hostile to the Kellogg admins
0tration. The apologists Of the usurpation
have retired from the field, and thoir places
are now flied by the most bitter denuncia-
tors. Kellogg sees all of this and recognizes
fully the imperative necessity Of taking some
steps to change the current Of public opinion
before he is swept away by its swelling waves.
Hence his voluminous efusion in the Re-
publican To follow him shrough his various
false statements, and to correct all Of his
blunders, would require more time and labor
than We propose to give to such q document
Suffice it to say, tL@.t by the public any state
ment Kellogg may make will be TAKEN Gun,
Qro1,O sails.

MOREAU THE POISONER.

just now all Paris is excited about a poison
ing affair, so delicately and deity done, dis
playing such exquisite skill and finesse in the
art, that the entire community stands ap
palled in wonder and amazement The atfall
creates greater sensation than a battle OF
siege would have done. 1t is the chief topic
of the newspapers; forms the subject of con.
versation on the street and in the cafes and
even in the salon and among the great.
Moreau was herbalist, and dwe!t at Saint
Denis, the old cathedral town close by Paris.
He was well-to-do, and universally known.
One day unexpectedly his wife died, and
Morean as suddenly married again. No ply
stefan had been called in to examine the un-
fortunate woman, but it gradually became
known that her sufferings had been terrible,
and the 0use Of her death grew into a wonder
that excited a Widespread interest But no
post mortem examination was made.
Ten months after the first wife's demise,
the second wife was taken i'll and lived but a
short time. Before her death, however, she
gave voice to the suspicion that her husband
was poisoning her. The physician, however,
could discover no trace of the poison, and a
month elapsed after her death before the
herbalist was arrested, and the bodies of the
two women, which had been buried in Saint
Denis Cemetery, were exhumed and submit
ted to careful analysis.
Both bodies were in q remarkable state of
and this fact encouraged the
physicians who had undertaken the autopsy
to believe that the woman had been poisoned
with sulphate of copper, since animals poi
soned with that substance do not decay in the
earth. Grains of the sulphate were found in
the liver and stomach of both victims, Bat
they were found only after a careful series Of
elaborate experiments made by men eminent
in medical science. Many times the examin-
ers were on the point of giving up the search
as failure, but happily they persevered and
were at last rewarded with success.
Only by burning the liver was the presence
of copper discovered, and in sufficient guam
tity to have produced death. It was subse-
quently discovered that the murderer had
used the scrapings Of saucepan to obtain the
poison. his motive was to obtain possession
of a small fortune belonging to the second
wife.
1t is inferred from the Moreau affair that
the art of poisoning has not yet reached its
limit Physicians may gerry readily be de-
ceived by it. The symptoms are treacherous
and no definite theory has been advanced re-
garding it. Had Moreau lived three hundred
years ago he might have numbered his victims
by the score and defied discovery.

The tobacco crop in Connecticut this year
Is said to be very fine. The growth is liberal,
and the article Of the very best. Considering
how much the American public is dependent
upon Connecticut for supply Of "genuine
H"vana cigars this news will be received
with great pleasure. The insurgent opera
tins in Cuba have interfered greatly with the
cultivation of tobacco. The vuelta d'Abajo,
the finest district in the world for tho growth
Of tobacco. has ceased long ago to yield a crop
equal in quantity or flavor to its ancient repu-
tation. 1t is well-known fact that the i'm
portations OF American tobacco into Cuba for
several years past have been very great. 1t is
more than a suspicion that this product comes
back to lis in the shape Of genuine Havanas,
for which American smokers are willing to
pay preposterous prices.

O63 acres; barley, 2,2S7, 9s3; oats, 1856, 367;
potatoes, 52O, 42S; and hops, 65,824. These
figures are equivalent to an increase in wheat
of fraction over four per cent as compa-ed
with 1873. Barley exhibits decrease oneS
over two per cent, and oats decrease ct-s4Ase
per cent, compared with last year. Potatoes
and hops, on the other hand, show ON increase
over 1S73-the latter four per cent, and the
former of one per cent and fraction. The

womanly looking girl and the conductor began to
talk to her like man. The result was that the

the matter. But something was the matter for
all that, and the young wife was obliged to tell
her parents that she was married, aud 10 whom
Her father drove her out OF his house and told
her not to come back. His brother was president
of the railroad, and the hard hearted father went
and had the conductor discharged. He is now

house, has broad lands, and keeps his conscience
clear by going to church three times every Sun

A Verdict Important to Bankers and
DepOsitOrs.

A suit involving questions Of interest to
bankers and their depositors, was decided in
the Circuit Court of Maryland on the 29th
ult. In 1872, the Third National Bank of
Baltimore was robbed by burglars who rented
the next building, opened commission store
and drilled through into the oank, and stole
some $4,000, considerable portion of this
being special deposits. William A. Bond Il
Co., customers of the bank, had some $40, 600
worth of valuable securities in the safe, which
were stolen. These were deposited under spe-
cial agreement as collateral security for such
sums of money as the firm might borrow from
the bank from time to time At the time the
bonds were stolen the firm owed the bank
nothing. When demand was made for the
bonds or their value, the bank refused to pay
on the ground that they were kept in the safe
at the risk OF the owners and subject to their
order. Inasmuch as they were not at that
time indebted to the bank. suit was brought
in the Superior Court for the value OF the
bonds. Two questions were argued, namely,
were these bonds held by the bank as col
lateral security, or were they at the time Of
the robbery merely deposit at the risk OF the
owner? Ii no other obligation rested on the
bank than to use reas enable diligence in
guarding the special deposit, did the manner
in which they were kept raise such a pre-
sumption OF negligence as to make the bank
liable?
This last proposition involved the most ex-
haustive inquiry into the mode of construct
ing vaults, the comparative merits of various
burglar-proof safes; the degree of caution
that should be exercised in the employment OF
night watchmen; the compensation that
should be raid to the Waterman in order to
release him from the necessity Of engaging in
other employment during the day, and many
incidental matters
ago, and the jury failed to agree. The record
WAS then sent to the Circuit Court for Howard
county, and yesterday the jury brought in q
verdict for s29, 1T 80 for the plain:ih, the
full amount claimed. Cincinnati Gosette.
