An Informer I'm Trouble.
State Senator Graham, of Virginia, who
made the charges against Congressman
Stowell of selling cadetship, is likely to
meet with serious embarrassment, if not
greater troubles. Mr.. StoWell has in his
possession letter written by Graham to
him, as Chairman of the Republican Com
mittee CT his district, recommending young
Schooldaft for an appointment, and youch-
ing for the boys residence. This letter
has the official head of the Republican
COMMITTEES, and is signed by Graham, as
Chairman, and one Evans, as Secretary. 1t
has since been ascertained, as alleged BY
Stowell, that Graham forged tho Secretary's
name. In making counter-charges against
Graham by Stowell, he viii charge him
with the forgery, and Evans will state en-
phatically Il at he never signed or saw the
letter, or knew the youth who was ap-
pointed.
status Of Pinchbaek's Case.
There is a general misapprehension as to
the manner in which the resolution de-
claring that the credentials of Pinchback
are of prima facie validity was introduced
into the Senate. The resolution was
not the result OF a caucus vote,
but was an original resolution, and
can only be regarded as the reso-
luton of Senator Morton. At the eau
Gus at which it was considered, there
was not a quorum present. Senator Ed
munds, who was there, called the attention
of Senators to the uniform support which
be had given the caucus action, and also
notified them that if the attempt was made
TO seat Pinchback by a caucus vote, he
should be compelled to work against him
IN open Senate.
1t is claimed that while this resolution
proposed 70 refer Pinchback's case TO the
Committee on Elections, without seating
him, the precedents Of the Senate are thai
the declaration By the Senate of the primd
Tacie validity Of his credentials would enti-
tie Pinehbaek to his seat, without further
investigation.
stOekweII's f" Nerves"
The question has been asked why the
Pacific Mail investigation, two years ago,
was stopped, and has not been revived until
now. Service had been served upon Stock
well, ard he was in a state of great anx-
iety. His books, it is believed, con-
tained full entries of the entire transac-
ton here. Those who should know state
that the knowledge of this fact contributed
largely to StOckwell's temporary derange-
ment at that time. Stockwell's lawyer was
George S.ebbins, a prominent attorney Of
--Sew York, who engaged as assistant cOun-
SCI Edwards PierrepOnt. These two gen.
tIenen taking especial advantage of Mr..
SsOckwell's conveniently nervous condi-
tion, succeeded in having the investigation
postponed.

NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY MORNING. MAY 81 1874

Lawson decided in favor of Trench, and in
doing so took occasion to denounce the con-
duct of the Galway priests in the most black
guard manner. As the subject-matter of the
forthcoming trial-ths conduct of the priests
is substantially the same as that of the
Trial OF 1872, it would, therefore, seem that
Lawson should be the last person to preside.

john Charles Ferec was born in the neigh.
borhood of Brest, France, in 1899, of most
Christian parents. At an early age he was
sent to an ecclesiastical school. and in 1860 en-.
tered the Seminary of Qnimper to prepare for
the Ministry. In 1862, His Grace, Archbishop
Odin being in France, made q n earnest appealA
to the young semiuarians in behalf of this
Diocese, and among the number of those who
answered that appeal was Father Fereo He

pastor of the Church Of st. Rose de Lima

to the Cathedral, about eight years ago. TO
replace Father Turgis.
Father Ferecs chief characteristics we're his
charity and zeal for the poor. He was espe-
cially devoted to the colored race, and was
untiring in ministeIing to their spiritual
wants. The generosity with which he gave,
whenever he had anything to give, is most
forcibIy shown by the poverty in which he
died. 1t was partly to this trait of generous
Self-sacrifce that was due the promptness with
which, though unacclimated, he last year VOL
nnteered to replace the Jealous priests. who
had died so heroically in the fatal plague of
Shreveport.

The indianapolis Herald makes a
plea for drunkenness. 1t says that Gin
ebriation in many instances is q safe
ty valve, and the lives of many men,
endangered by too ambitious q pur-
suit of business, are preserved by
means of periodical sprees." 1t adds:

point in the Herald article is its con-
clusion:
drunkenness is an excellent correc-
tive of an inordinate self-esteem, and
the fatal tendenciessto Phariseeism,
which comes of long continued good
behavior. No man, who has never
been drunk; can fully realize his alb
solute nothingness - can feel he is
poor, miserable 'wurrum' of the dust.
The man who has never felt remorse
of conscience, can not be a true
Christian, nor feel that charity for
the shortcomings of fellow creatures,
which is enjoined by the great teach
er. 1t is the tendency of human ma
ture to become puffed up with its
own piety, and sing the old song.

CURE FOR HOG CHoLKRA.-A cor
respondent at Mulberry Grove sends
us what he recommends as the best
cure for hog cholera known. The
recipe was first published in the Prai-
rie Farmer, some years since. The
quantity given is sufficient for one
hundred hogs, and is mixed with slop
enough for a few doses, say a pint of
the slop to the hog, each time. This
is the recipe: Take of sulphur two
pounds; black antimony, one-half
pound; arsenic, two ounces. Our
correspondent says he has tried the
above on a lot of fifty hogs, and cared
all that were able to walk to the
trough to eat the slop. Prof. J. B.
Turner also published the following
preventive in the Prairie Farmer in
1864, which our correspondent says
he has seen used with perfect satisfac-
ton: One peck wood ashes, four
pounds salt, one pound each of black
antimony, copperas and sulphur, one
quarter of pound saltpetre. Pulver-
ize and mix, mOisten and put in
trough, under shed, where the hogs
can have free access to it Greenville

THE THREE JOLLY HUSBANDS
Three Jolly husbands out in the
country by the name of Tim Wat
son, Joe Brown and Bill Walker, sat
late ono night drinking at the village
tavern, until being pretty well corn
ed, they agreed that each one on re-
turning home should do the first thing
his wife told him, in default of which
he should next morning pay the bill.
They then separated for the night,
engaging to meet the next morning
and give an account of their proceed
ings at home so far as they related to
the bill. The next morning Walker
and Brown were early at their posts,
but it was some time before Watson
made his appearance.
Walker began first: ''You see when
I entered my house the candle was
out, and the fire giving but glimmer-
ing light; came near walking acci-
dentally into a Pot of batter that the
pancakes were TO be made of the mkt
morning. NV wife, who was dread
fully out of humor at setting up so
late, said to me sarcastically, ''Bill,
do put your foot in the batter just
as YOU say, Maggie said I, and with
out the least hesitation, l put my
foot in the pot of batter and went to
bed"
Next Joe Brown told his story {:
''My wife had already retired to our
regular sleeping room, which adjOins
the kitchen, the door of which was
aiar, not being able to navigate, you
know, perfectly, I made a dreadful
clattering among the furniture, and
my wife in a pleasant tone, bawled
out, Do break the pOrridge pot No
sooner said than done, | seized hold
of the tail of the pot and striking it
against the chimney jamb, 1 broke 1t
in hundred pieces After this ex-
plot I retired to rest, and got a cur
tain lecture all night for my pains"
Now it was Tim WatsOn's turn to
give an account of himself, which he
did with a very long face as follows:
MY wife gave me the most unlucky
command IN the world, for as I was
laundering up stairs in the dark, she
cried out, DO break your neck, do
Tim III be cussed if I do, Kate, said
I, as 1 gathered myself up, III sooner
pay the bill;' so landlord, here is the
cash for you, and it is the last time
I'll risk five dollars at the command
of my wife"
