Our Gulf Outlets.

Under this title the Weekly Louisianian
of yesterday, Senator Pinchback's paper,
has an article reviewing the two projects
for the improvement of the commerce of
New Orleans-the Fort st. Philip canal and
the lefty scheme Of Eads-and presents
the claims of each. The conclusion Of the
article is as follows:
As matters now stand, the initial action
by Congress has been taken thoroughly to
test the feasibility and expediency of the
several schemes, and some delay in actual
and ultimate results will be necessary. 1n
the meanwhile, appropriations are made to
give temporary relief to commerce by
dredging the passes. We reach the follow
ing conclusions on this subject:
/. The question is still open and undeter.
mined as TO which plan, canal or jetty, will
best answer the commercial wants OF the
Mississippi valley; and this question can
only be safely and satisfactorily settled
either by additional and careful surveys or
actual experiment.
3 1t is a question of so much magnitude
and affecting SO many interests that the ma
tional government does not propose, by
popular clamor from any section or any
class to be hurried IN it's solution.
3. The outlet to the gulf has SO many
rivals along the lakes and the water lines
advocated through Virginia and Georga
and meets such opposition from the rail
roads that only great patience, wisdom and
discretion on the part of our representa-
tives in the House and Senate will secure
that unanimity and concert of action re
auisite for success.
4. The public opinion that supposes any
one or all of the Congressional Representa-
tlves from Louisiana can manipulate and
arbitrarily control this great industrial
question, is an ignorant one, aud the dis
position to pass hasty and censorious iudg.

Colonel Field In Assumption.

On the night OF the twenty fifth of April
last, an old man named Elisha Eastwood.
highly respected citizen, was hrutally mur
dered on Bayou Lafourche. He had at the
time trading boat with which he had car
ried OF business several years. This n ght 1t
was mOored about four msles below NapO-
leonville. To enter the boat his assassins
killed him with club. They also attacked
and nearly killed an old man who was on
board with him; and attempted to kill his
cook. She escaped by jumping through q
window into the bayou and wading ashore
where she gave the alarm.
Her escape caused the murderers to fly
with such haste that they not only obtained
no plunder, but left behind them the club
with which the deed had been done, sew
eral sacks and bags and two hickory sticks.
1t was some time before any suspected
parties were arrested, bu. six were at last
secured. Judge Taylor Beattie called a
special term of the court to be held July ii.
Indictments we're found against all six, and
the brutality Of the murder, the respect
ability of the victim and the desire that
justice should be done caused the people
TO unite with the district attorney to request
Colonel Field to take charge of the case.
On arriving the Attorney General, after
a careful examination of the case, con-
cluded to dismiss proceedings against one
of the accused and use him as q witness for
the State. The trial lasted two entire days
and part of two nights. The club with
which the deadly blows were inflicted, one
of the sticks found and the sack and bags
were fully identified IS belonging to the
five accused. In addition to the circum-
stantial evidence direct testimony sufficien,
to convict was produced by Colonel Field
who left no loophole of escape, although
the defense was managed by two eminent
counsel. The case was presented SO strongly
that the jury after retiring remained only
fifteen minutes, and returned with an un
qualified verdict of guilty of murder.

The New Orleans. Mobile and Great
Western Railroad.

The seizure on the fieri facias issued from
the Superior District Court by Judge Haw-
kns continues to hold good. SO far as the
power of the law is concerned the State OF
Louisiana is in a fair way to hold its own
and recover something to balance the
$75O,000 of bonds. The copy of the order
issued by Judge Woods in the case Of Anne
proceedings in this case, and probably EO
further attempt will be made to enforce it
But the parties in interest, so it is rumored,
have devised new plan for circumventing
the process of law. Judge Woods is to be
sought for and proceedings instituted before
him to injoin the State from proce eding
further in the suit and to annihila te the
proceedings Of the State in its efforts to re-
cover its property.
But there is provision OF the funda-
mental law of the country, which Judge
Woods is doubtless perfectly familiar with,
that will prevent any such proceedin gs, and
it is this:
In all cases affecting ambassadors, or
other public ministers or consuls and those
az rhich a State shat be q pa'ty the Su preme
Court shall have original jurisdiction. Con-
stitutiOn of the United States, article three,
section two clause two.
This ought to be conclusive, even if it is
not satisfactory.
Against the road there are now suits
involving sums of an enormous amount.
The State claims first, $7l2, 800 for bonds,
and Sl25,00O in addition: Boynton Brothers
and Bushnell want $47O,000 on their con-
tract, and s. l.. James claims $66,764 - on
his sub-cOntract under them; L, j. Dodge
sues for S37, $50, and in addition to these
claims, is 100000; $4,000 for the Lafourche
bridge, the balance being for lessor claims,
all amounting to 81, ,472,Ol4 IS.

many talented amateurs, last night gave
at the Varieties Theatre, its third compli-

select and brilliant than the average au.
dience called out by amateur clubs. In
issuing invitations it was apparent that the
comfort of guests Was cOnside red, for all
present found no difficulty in obtaining
seats This was as it should be, and reflects
great credit upon the club, and enabled the

apt to be disagreeable duties.

This drama Is one of the old school,
exceedingly STACEY, and effective when well
acted. The scene is laid at Paris, and the
time is 1771-9i, under the reign of Louis
Nv. 1t depicts scenes of the revolution, as
described by Hugo, with emeutes, capture
of the Bastlle, fire of musketry, etc., not
altogether pleasant to witness, but very
dramatic. Mr. ONeil and Mr. Onorato
received end deserved the honors of the
piece for excellent ACTING. Miss Waugh
appeared to better advantage than usual,
and was satisfactory as the heroine of the
drama. A feature of the piece was the
singing of the "Marsellaise" by Mrs G. c.
Pearce. Upon the whole the drama was
well performed.
