Inquest ON the Body OF Eugene Duclostense.

Inquest ON the Body OF Eugene Duclostenge.
Coroner Chastant and DR.. C. P. Ames con-
tinued the post norton examination on the
body Of Eugene Duclostenge yesterday at his
residence on Euterpe, between Baronne and
Carondelet streets, and returned verdict
that his death was caused by heart disease.
-Four of the jurors agreed with the Coroner
and City Physician, but the fifth, stubborn
negro, doubted the Coroner's verdict and
wanted the head taken from the body, SO as
to be cert lin that the neck of the diseased
was not broken.
The family and the four jurors protested
against the head being severed and the mat
ter was finally adjusted by the obstinate negro
being persuaded to sign the verdict under
protest, and for the benefit of that juror we
will state that there is no law to force Cor
oner to dissect body where four jurors agree
upon a verdict, and the City Physician is
satisfied as to the cause Of death.

MISSISSIPPI LEGIsLATURE.

JACKSON, MISS, Dec. 18.-The Senate Com
Emittee to whom was referred the Governors
message, presented q majority and minority
report to-day. The majority report en-
bodied q resolution urgently calling ON the
President Of the United States for troops to
suppress instruction, and prevent future
occurrences of like nature
The minority report Numerically opposes
the conclusions OF the majority. Whatever
circumstances may have demanded Federal
interference, there certainly is now no neces-
sity for United States troops, unless to assist
in carrying the special election ordered in
Warren county by the supervisors. The ma
jority report was adopted.
The House passed resolution appointing
q committee to investigate Vicksburg affairs
and appropriatng 5000 to pay the expenses
Of the committee. Each house will pass the
others resolution.
The speeches of the negro members in dis
cussing the resolutions were vindlctive and
ibelous.
The Legislature will adjourn tomorrow.

YICKSRNRG AFFAlRx.

VIcKsBURG, Dec. 1.-two negroes engaged
in the Snyder's Bluff fight were brought to
the city to-day on warrants for the murder OF
colored man named James Gray In an in
terview with Vickburg Herald reporter, one
of the negroes, Silas Oliver, admitted that he
shot and killed Gray, and says he did it
under orders from JEFF Tucker, who was O
head man in the Black League, but does not
seem to have had any military command.
In reply to question Of the He5rld re-
porter, Silas said he hated to kill the man.
but he was sworn to obey the officers, and
when Tucker told him to kill Gray, he raised
his gun and fired, killing him instantly.
It was charged by the blacks that Gray had
given the whites of vicksburg warning Of the
proposed attack on the city, and thereby en-
abled them to prepare for defense, and that
he further sinned in refusing to join the
negroes in their war on the whites.
Silas says he heard this stated by the leader
Of his squad before the order was given him
to shoot. Both negroes were committed to
Jail to await examination before Squire Mann,
on Wednesday. The sfidavits charge Silas
Oliver with malicious and willful murder, and
jeff Tucker with being accessory before the
fact

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-THE HOUSE.-Ihere
was an immense crowd present to witness the
reception of the King. The presence Of the
Senate was announced, headed by Vice Presi.
dent Wilson. The Speakers gavel announced
the Kings approach, when the Senators and
to their feet. All remained standing while
the King, supported by Messrs. Cameron and
Ortiz, approached the Speakers chair.
Cameron introduced the King to the
Speaker. who said: "Your Majesty-On be-
half of the American Congress, I welcome
you to these halls. The Senators from our
States and the Representatives of our people
unite in cordial congratulations upon your
suspicious journey, and the expression of the
qualification and pleasure afforded by your
presence in the capital Of the nation as the
nations guest
Your Majesty's appearance among us is the
the first instance in which q reigning sovereign
has set foot upon the soil Of the United
States, and it is q significant circumstance
that the visit comes to us from the West and
not from the East.
The speaker alluded to the great growth of
the Western part of this country, and con-
graduated the King upon his virtues as q man
and ruler.
The Kings cold was too bad to allow him
to speak His address was read by one Of his
courtiers It was thankful and somewhat
humble in its sentiments, but nothing pun
gent in it.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the legislative appropriation bill
A paragraph in relation to the mileage of
United States marshals and deputy marshals
gave rise to a long discussion, in the course
Of which the Department of Justice was char
acterized by Beck, Of Kentucky, as being
bod
District OF Arkansas and the districts of North
Carolina were alluded to by Mr.. Speer, Of
Pennsylvania, as being run by political
thieves, vampires and scoundrels.
Mr.. Beck moved to strike out the appro-
priation for the Department of Justice, and
renewed his attack upon the department, de-
claring that the Attorney General was more
guilty man in connection with the affairs Of
Louisiana than Judge Durell himself, who
had resigned and confessed his guilt.
He charged that the Department of Justice
had appealed from decisions of the Court of
Claims in cotton cases, and had dismissed ap-
peals wherever friends of the Department
were employed, and had had their fees ar
ranged; that the Department had used the
army for the basest of purposes, and was q
ment of Justice. When the proper time
came he would, he said. if he got the oppor-
tunity, make good what he had said about
the Attorney General and the Department of
Justice
The Senate after receiving the King went
into executive session and adjourned to Mon
day.

Because it is in evidence that at Poll No. l,

ballots on the end of polls or canes, in order
to reach the hands of the commissioners of
election, who we're seated in q room elevated
from the ground, SO that the voters were de-
MED the privilege of having their ballots
placed in the ballot-box. From these facts it
is evident that, first, there has been no fair

the vote of the other parishes in that Sena-

the question, as one of law, was to be referred
to two lawyers, to be selected by the board,
one to be chosen from the Democratic party

the Republican party, to be chosen by myself.
I selected Judge Dooley, candidate for

Welsh and Feeley, two blind men in q
Milwaukee asylum, became enemies, and not
being able to see, went feeling for each other.
They necessarily had very few amusements,
being shut out from the world by the closed
gates of one sense, SO it wss resolved to give
them full swing through the avenues of
another. They pounded each other with
blind desperation. Their aim was not good,
but there was no lodging blow that hap
pened to hit. At length Feeley inserted his
thumb in Welsh's mouth and could not ex-
tract it. So the fight ended. Feely objected
to the amputation of his unfortunate thumb,
gangrene set in and he died The bite of .

They still have their little jests with China
men in the far West. The Stockton hide
pendent of late date notes the playfulness of
some young hoodlums, who recently tried to
see if Monaghan could be drowned. An
inofensive representative of the class was
captured and plunged into. slough, and.
when rescued by some steamboat hands, was
resuscitated with difficulty. He recovered,
however and the hoodlums will probably be
compelled to do the work more completely
with another Chinaman in order to feel per-
fectly assured that an Asiatic will drown.
