THE DIsFRANCHIsED LOUIsIAN
IANS.

Yesterday there was held in the city
of New Orleans, a meeting of the bar of
that CITY, and the action of Attorney
General FIELDS in DISTINGUISHING sew
eral thousand citizens, was examined in
to. They looked into the matter, APP
pareutly, coolly, calmly and profession
ally, and came TO the following eonclu-
sion: ,.
FIRST, That the Second District Court,
(which KELLoGG's Attorney General
suddenly found to lack jurisdiction to
naturalize) did, under section Of Act of
Congress, of 1902, have the proper juris-
diction.
Second, That this Court was n Court
of Record, having a seal and clerk, in
that it is a court which entertains suits for
money demands, and all personal actions
against SUGGESTIONS, minors and inter
dicted persons, and rs such has jurisdic-
ton to nsturalize aliens. The report
was agreed to, and signed by over 100
persons present. Now here is the opinion
of great number Of professional lawyers
Of New Orleans. 1t is but fair to pre-
sumo that large portion Of them at
least, are learned in their profession, yet
in face of this, one man, and he polti-
cak.opponent and friend of KELLOGG,
deliberately undertakes, by his mere
opinion, and just before election, to dis
franchise thousands of these naturalized
citizens.
1t is good idea that the ballots Of
these voters are to be cast in a separate
ballot box. Ifthey are thrown out they
can then be used for the purpose of le-
gal prosecution, for it is provided by the
Ku-Klux act ''thst any person who,
under color Of any law, statute ordi-
nance, regulation, custom or usage of
any State, shall subject or cause to be
subjected, any person within the juris-
diction of the United States to the de-
privation of any rights, privileges or !
immunities, secured by the Constitution
of the United States, shall be liable to
the party injured in any action at law,
suit in equity, or other proper proceed
ing for redress, the proceedings to be
in the District or Circuit
Courts of the United States" Who
Knows but that the clever dodge, which
he Attorney General may now 50 glee-
'ully be chuckling over, will return to
plague the inventor /

in these cases they are caught only after
they have spent the night in destroying

The split portion is soaked in boiling water,

Rather Nice.

A few days since Justice Jecko, Of St.
Louis, received a call from young man
and a young woman, each of whom was the
bearer Of 4 Portly carpet sack. Their APP
pearancc indicated that they had just ar
rived on a railroad train from the rural
| districts Of Illinois.
'Bo you the squire o. asked the young
man, with an air Of difidcnce
Il be. Do you want to get married p
yes. How did you know ?'
Il saw it in your eyes. There is a GER
/ tain sort Of scintillation in the left eye of a
man who is about to commit matrimony
that betrays his purpose as truly as spot
on the sun indicates falling weather"
DO tell Squire, you're poking fun
at me, amt you
''Not at all. 1t is part of the Oar
winian theory of selection. You'll find it
all out before you have been a year in the
traces. Are you in hurry to have the
knot tied ?"
"Yas, sir We want it done right away,
don't we, Mollie"
Eyes, squire, said Mollie "but haint
you got dressing-room, where | can put
on my bridal dress and titivate little
Il am sorry to say my only chamber is
crammed full ofhobby horses, toys, trinkets
and stuff seized by the constable from a
fancy store. However, there it is, if you
think there is room enough in it for you to
dress"
The bride looked into the room adjoin-
inc the Office, and declared she could make
out TO slip on her wedding dress in it.
With carpet sack in hand she entered the
lumber room and closed the door The
bridegroom asked for another dressing
room, saying he had his wedding fixtures
in his valise and would like to put them
on. He was told there was no other room
vacant, and that he would have to wait un-
til the bride had enrobed herself and then
he could take his turn. What happened
is thus told:
The young man sat down with an air of
impatience, holding his carpet sack between
his knees, and twirling his thumbs. Con
stable McGeary, whose appearance is that
Of Don Juan of the killing type (although
in reality he is the chastest man that ever
chased iuryman or replevined a widow
woman parlor furniture,) had been writ
ING at his desk when the bridal party cn-
tered, and now arose and passed into the
passage-way leading down stairs. The
young man with the carpet sack turned red
in the face as he saw the door close upon
the constable.
He evidently thought McGeary had
gone into the store-room where the bride
was making her toilet He became ner-
yous, threw his carpetsack into a corner,
arose, sat down again in another chair, and
was extremely fdgety. The more he tired
to conceal his emotions the redder his face
grew At length, unable longer to endure
the agony of doubt and mistrust, he ran to
the door of the store-room and entered. A
scream was heard, and then the young
man came back looking very sheepish. This
rash act of the Bridegroom came very near
breaking off the match, but the justice ex-
planned to the bride that it was all mis-
take.
care you a married man, squire ?" asked
the bride, putting her face to crack in
the door.

A WILD HAN.
An Exciting Chase and Capture of a
Young Man Supposed to be Wild.

On last Friday morning, about o'clock,
a young man entered the house Of John
Webb, at Buckeye Tavren," the usual
stopping place, midway between Caryyille
and the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, near
Chitwood, about ten or twelve miles be-
yond Caryville, and threw himself into a
bed along with some gentlemen stopping
there for the night. The landlord Mr.
Webb, being aroused, found the young
man in state of intense excitement, aud
at first supposed he was drunk. But, on
trying to induce him to take lodgings eles-
where, it was ascertained that he was not
intoxicated, but wild, or crazy. Then Mr.
Webb tried to induce him to remain and
take quarters with him, but failed. He
became excited and ran away, and, strange
to say, fine mastif dog OF Mr.. Webb's
followed him. and was found with him and
very much attached to him, six or eight
miles distant, later on the same day. The
first heard of the strange man after leaving
Webb's was early OH Friday morning, at
Mr.. Meals, several miles off, in Scott coun-
ty. He was accompanied by Mr. Webb's
dog, which seemed to have linked fortunes
with him. He in company with the dog,
slipped into the house Of Mr.. Neal, and

long hair it looked like repulsiye wild
animal clinging to his head Stevens hid
himself from the general eye, and moped
in loneliness. In early yonth he was
betrothed to beautiful young girl, but as
the wen grew great his love grew less :;
rather his determination never to infict his
horrible deformity on a follow-creature was
tirmly y formed. The best surgeons Of
Europe and America gave him no hope.
They were unanimous in declaring that to
remove the wen was to permanently re-
move the patient But recently he met a
daring practitioner who declared that it
was within the skill Of the surgeon 70 lop

man to a healthy and normal condition.
Stevens listened gratefully 'Do it" sail he

his mammoth fee. The skin beneath the
tumor was smooth and sound, and Stevens

Still there is no news of the present
whereabouts Of the kidnapped boy, little
Charley Ross. The munifcent reward of
$4,000 has not yet evoked any informa-
ton of immediate value The public in
terest in the case continues without abate-
ment, and it really seems as if Philadelphia
would do almost anything to bring the lost
child TO light. The utter failure of the
police thus far to get on his track is not
credltable, and shows an unexpected degree
of ignorance and meffciency, 1t is now
stated that the New Yerk Herald has tax
en- the case in hand on its own account and
will prosecute it to the end. This looks
more like business than anything else that
has been done

''Well, then, l wish you would come in
here and hook my frock."
The justice complied with the modest
request, and in moment the bride came
out in gorgeous attire The bridegroom
then entered the room, and when he re-
turned the ceremony was performed with
out further delay, Then the bride re-en-
tered the store.room and changed her dress,
and the happy couple marched out with
their carpet sacks, highly elated at the sue
cess Of their mission.
