The Disappearance of Chas.
Claiborne, Esq.
Nothing Very Mysterious as
Yet.

The many conflicting rumors on the street
relative to the mysterious disappearance OF
Mr.. Chas. Claiborne, Clerk of the United
States District Court, led US last evening to
make thorough investigation of the ease
After considerable time spent i'll our search
after the facts, we CLEANED the following
from the interviews Of our reporters with
Judge Durell, f. f. Norton and Mr. T. w
Deklyne.
1t appears Mr.. Claiborne left the city
about fifteen days ago to visit his residence
across the lake, and, about ten days ago,
wrote a letter to an officer of the court,
saying that he was sick and would not
return until his recovery. The only in
formation concerning him heard since was
from a relative, to the effect that Mr.. Cla-
borne was called to the bedside Of his sick
mother in Nice, France. He left, in the
Louisiana National Bank, $50, $50, and in the
ub-Treasury S37 900, besides private ac-
count in another institution.
Beyond this nothing at present is known,
and no one can say whether anything is
amiss in his accounts. Our Investigations
do not warrant us in saying that there is
anything mysterious about Mr.. Claiborne's
departure from the city.
Below we give the result of our reporters
intervie with Judge Durel
RepOrter-Judge, | want to know some
thing about this Claiborne business
Durell-YeS.
Reporter want to know how much
money there shonld be in the registry of the
court.
Durell Cooking at the ceilng)-Ah ha !.
RepOrter-Yes, that is what | want to
know.
Judge-Umph the clerk can tell yon how
much money there is in the registry
Reporter have an idea how much there
is: want to know how much there ought
to be. You see, Judge, there are a number
of conflicting rumors OF the street.
Judge (refecting)-Yes. some people say
one thing. and some another.
Reporter-Yes, and | want to get at the
foundation Of these reports. ! want to
know something about it.
The Judge looked as if he was going to
say something, but did not.
Reporter lin despair)-I would like to,
know, Judge, why You removed Mr.. Clai-
borne: what were the grounds
Dnrell got up and took drink of water,
and then returned. The reporter looked at
him inTliringly.
Durell-The clerk can tell yon about the
matter, if he wants.
Our reporter then made his adieux and
left, firmly convinced that Durell was a
hard man to interview.

WHITE VS.. COLORED.

To the Ii ors Of the n. o. Bulletin:
| In late edition of the Times reference is
made to an organization of some three
| thousand real estate owners; may they be
prosperous, should it be for the public veal
and not terminate like the glorious " two or
three hunred lis the earnest wish of many.
Will you be good enough to communicate
the sentiments Of many of your readers to
the follow g : it will prove of more interest
than the column of your confrere about Tom
Collins and bar-rOOm jests:
Tho time is fast approaching when we
shall be compelled to draw the line of de-
marcation between friends and foes. This
will embrace the employer as well as the
employee-the question for us to decide,
whether it shall be white or cOlOred labor.
At the present, 90 where you will, the latter
has the preference over the former. At the
barge landings steamers, stevedores, public
buildings in course of erection and all city
work, you will find white men anxious for a
job; but no-their color or politics are a bar
to their employment. Can this be submitted
to much longer! If we are to be subject to
them let us throw up the sponge at once.
TO convince you of the evil to which
allude, you have only to walk radius of
four squares from your Office, and in that
space count how many positions could be
filled by our men and youths, now filled by
the colored race. Look at the pOrters or
messengers employed by men who have been
in the Southern army, who would not give
the son of their former companion in arms
or the companion himself chance.
Let us organize at once, irrespective Of
party, and throw overheard the old hacks
and demagognes we have now in power,
who are ever ready to carry water on both
shoulders SO long as it is their benefit.
Pardon me for trespassing so much. At the
desire Of many this communication is adj
dressed you, believing it may prove benefi-
cial by your remarks or opinion on the sub
ject.

AN APT SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLAR

The following story, though not new, has
sufficient points and humor to merit its
publication at least once year.:
Some rOguish boys in town near the
capital Of New Hampshire persuaded Jos
Jasper, or, as he was generally called. Joe
to attend Sabbath school.
Joe was an OvergrOwn, half-witted, pro
fame lad. and the boys anticipated fun but
the various questions prOpOunded to him
were so readily and correctly answered that
no one could for a moment suppose that he
was not versed in theological lore.
Joe was duly ushered in and placed upon
were seated, and the examination com
menced.
The teacher first questioned the class on
their regular lessons, and then turned
toward Joe.
"My friend, who made the world we in
habit ~
Just as he was probably about TO answer
the question, one of the boys seated be-
hind him inserted a pin into his does
pants. about nine inches below the orpa-
mental buttons on his coat.
God Almighty. answered Joe, at the
same time rising to his feet.
THAT is correct" answered the teacher
" but it is not necessary that you should
rise in answ ering a sitting posture will do
Just as we'll"
Joe was seated, and the catechism pro
ceeded.
Who died to save the world -
The pin was again inserted.
Jesus Christ" in louder tone than be-
fore, again rising to his feet.
THAT is correct. but do not manifest so
much feeling: do be a little more reserved
in your manners" said the teacher. i'm an
expOstulating tone of voice.
After Joe had Gained down, examination
went on.
What will be the final doom of all
wicked mens" was the subject now up for
consideration, and as the pin was again
stuck in, Joe Numbered out, with a still
higher elevation Of body:
He'll and damnatiOn!"
my friend, you give the answers to all
the questions correctly, but while you are
here we wish you to be little more mild in
your words. Do, if you can, restrain your
enthusiasm, and give less extended scope
to your feelings"

GALVESTON, June A New Brownsville
special says the FOR Pubiica OF MatamOros,
to-day publishes a copy of the extradition
treaty for criminals, which has been agreed
upon by the two Governments, Mexico and
Italy; the features are similar to those be-
tween the United States and foreign powers.
This treaty was made in December, 1870,
but not formally ratified until May l, 1874.
The Mayor of Matamoros to-day publishes
a circular regarding cattle stealing. He
directs that the Chief Of Police Of the
ranches shall prevent any passage of cattle
over the Rio Grande either way. He says
since such runners have been so freely circu-
lated, censure has been attributed tO.and
complaint made of the citizens of the Re-
public, that they are engaged to some en-
tent in this traffic. In truth, his circular is
virtual admission OF such traffic being
carried on.
try have ordered that all the ports of entry
on the Rio Grande, except Maramoros, shall
be closed, but the Collector Of Customs has
postponed complying with this order and
written for further instrnc tons. 1t is said
fears are entertained that il this order il
carried ont people on the river will revolt.
Men who paid taxes on from two to four
thousand head Of cattle last. year, only return
as many hundred this year They say that
the Others are gone, supposed to be stolen.

where. For speed and safety it is I'M
eqnaled, having gained the title of cold
Reliable Pullman palace cars on all

A great calamity has befallen the wine
crop in France, which up to the end Of
April had been one of unusual promise
Early in May, sharp, cold winds, accompa-
MED by rain, hail and snow set in, and Sc
we're frosts blghted the crops in the north,
east and southwest of France. 1t. is est-
mated that three-fOurths Of the entire vine
yard area of the country has been affected
In the Gironde the great vineyards Of the
Chateau Margaux and Chateau Lafitte es-
capped injury, but the vineyards on the
marshes which border on the river suffered
severely. The vines i'm sandy soil were bnt
slightly touched, while those on the gravely
plains were affected even less.
The vines yielding the costly wines in
Burgundy generally escaped, but some of
the best known were injured. At Beaune
the vines on the plains, extending as far az
the Saone were completely frozen. The
vineyards Of Pommard suffered. and at
Gevray -Chambertin an immense amount of
damage was done. The devastation at Cha
bills was widespread, all the vines having
been damaged, whether on hills, slopes or
low ground. The hill-sides of Beaujolais
were not harmed, but in the Maconnais Dis
trict the vines in the plains were entirely
stripped Of their leaves, aud now resem BILE
so many dried sticks.
In the champagne country the frOSt was
most severe. The thermometer fell to
thirty degrees above zero. Fahrenheit. At
ChalOns, on the borders Of the Marne, and
in the neighborhood of Epernav, half the
crop is destroyed, while in other places the
loss will equal two-thirds. VerZenay and
other vineyards on the slopes near Reims
win lose One-third Of the crop. In many
localities of the Grand Champagne aud the
Petite Champagne there is no hope now Of
