Murder Denounced In Shreveport.

Murder Denounced In shreveport.
The Shreveport Times has arrived at a
very moderate degree in Journalism. A
short time since We observed case of the
shooting of an innocent colored man by a
posse of citizens in Shreveport, which
shooting the Times said should not have
occurred, for the reason that the act would
most likely be misconstrued by General
Merrill and others to the detriment abroad
of the Red River city of brotherly love.
Upon the occurrence of later murders the
Times has taken still higher moral grounds,
aud condemns murder as an act of lawless-
ness and upon general principles of human
ity. The most recent murder, ae reported
in the latest number of the Daily Times
received, is that of a poor negro woman by
two citizens. The name of the woman is
not given; perhaps it is not Of sufficient i'm
portance to find place in a local item
but the gentlemen charged with the murder
are called James Myers and Doc johnson.
OF this murder the Times speaks as lone
of the most brutal and outrageous We have
ever been called upon to record" and it
suggests ''to the executive of the State,
meaning Governor Kellogg, probably, that
he should 'offer reward of $4,000 for the
apprehension of the perpet rators." This
is certainly step in the right direction,
and one calculated to make crime un-
popular. Soon after the colored woman
was killed the usual posse was organized to
bring in the murderers, but up to the latest
advices they had not succeeded in captur-
ing the criminals.

The announcement of the probable ap.
pointment Of Archbishop McCloskey as an
American cardinal of Rome, will make the
following facts about cardinals interesting:
Cardinals are the highest dignitaries in
the Catholic Church after the Pope, whose
electors and councillors they are. In early
times the title was restricted to ecclesiastics
Immediately within the jurisdiction Of the
bishOpric of Rome. About the beginning
OF the twelfth century the popes, having
formed a regular court, began to bestow
the rank of cardinal on any individual of
the clergy, or even of the laity, whom they
choose to select, and to each, whether
Roman or foreign, they gave the title of
some particular church in Rome, but with.
out attaching to the holder any obligatory
service. The number of cardinals has for
centuries been limited to seventy; but at
present there are only forty-nine, of whom
twenty seven are residents of Rome. and
form part Of the papal household.
Thirty y-thlee of the forty nine cardinals
are Italians; the remaining sixteen are of
the following nationalities: Austria three,
France six, Germany two, Guatemala one,
Ireland one, Portugal one, Spain two.
Three of the foreign cardinals are members
of the Roman household, namely: Cardinals
Bonaparte, Pitra and H0henl0he. Car
dinals wear red hat and purpA mantle.
They are addressed as ''eminencl and at
Catholic regal courts are regarded as
princes of the church, and on State occa-
sions receive precedence accordingly. When
cardinal is an archbishop he retains
both titles, and is addressed as his emf
nence the cardinal archbishop. The most
important function of q cardinal is the elec-
tion of Pope, whom it has been customary
for centuries to elect from the sacred col
lege, as the collective body of cardinals is
called. At the death of Pope the car.
dinals in Rome convene and continue in
session until his successor is selected.

| At the st. Charles Theatre last night Mr..
L. L. Davenport appeared ss Damon, in the
| fine old play of "Damon and Pythias." He
wears the Roman dress nobly, and gave a
spirited and digniied representation OF the
| hero. Senators, in the days when the in
cidents- of the play occurred, appeared to
have as much trouble about taking their
seats as at present. Damon found the State
House guarded by soldiers upon his arrival,
and saw Dyonisius elected Speaker by ac-
clamation, and saw PhiHstius refuse to call
the yeas and nays, and refused to entertain
a motion to reconsider tine vote. A few OF
the Senators then bid farewell to lib
erty, and the play goes on. But
The great lesson of the drama is the
test of friendship: It is of such a friendship
between men as lives only in story. Damon
and Pyttias were friends like David and
Jonathan; one would give, his life for the
other, without fear or hope TOR reward.
The same play will be repeated on Satur.
day night. This evening will occur the
joint benefit Of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. L. Daven-
port, when "a New Way to Pay Old Debts
will be repeated. There is nothing better
in the way of impassicned acting than Mr.
Davenport's representation Of Sir Giles
Ore'reach. We may never look upon his
like again in the character, and if this
talented actor and actress were rewarded
according to their merits the house would
be crowded in every part.
At the Varieties Theatre Mrs. Chanfrau
will give three more performances Of the
play "Was She Right 2" She will continue
another week, and appear in other charac-
ters.
A change of bill will be made at the
Academy of Music tonight, when the bur-
lesque will be "The Enchanted Beauty"
with farce, original in title, called
"Fiske's Box Mystery" This farce has
sometimes been called ''The Kiss in the
Dark" "The Hole in the Wall,'' "The
Rascal Thomas" "The Mischievous Valet
1.-THE Secret" and various other names, but
1t is always new, and a good one.
At the Opera House last night, where
was wanting the attraction of Mile. lima
De Murska, not enough Of an audience ap-
peared to warrant performance, and none
was given.
Mile. De Murska will appear in concert
at Grunewsld Hall on Saturday neon, and
will sing "Home, Sweet Home and "The
Last Rose of Summer" in English, among
other selections. Seats for the concert can
be secured at Grunewald's music store.

At an adjourned meeting Of the Senate
Republican caucus this afternoon, a COM

stitute for the pending Frelinghuysen reso-
luton. Republican Senators hope the reso.
luton will pass the Senate without a pro-
tracted debate.
This afternoon the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee reported back unanimously resolu-
ton in favor Of the confirmation of Pardee,
which is expected to pass tomorrow.

The Darien Expedition !.

Captain Barrett, commanding the Canan
0algua, reports to Secretary Robson IRON
Aspinwall. under date of February q, that
on the evening of the twenty. seventh OF
January Lieutenant Collins, in charge of
the Darien expedition, having reported that
nc was in possession of the Instruments
necessary for the prosecution of the survey,
he ordered the officers to repair on board.
and early next morning steamed from the
anchorage Oft Colon, or Aspinwall, for the
gulf OF Darien, where they arrived late on
the evening Of the thirtieth of January,
The next day Sunday, the boats having
been laden with the stores and appurte.
nances of the expedition, Lieutenant Collins
and party left the vessel and steered for the
supposed entrance Of the Cano CoQuito.
Lieutenant Sullivan, one OF the former
search lasted until near dark. He returned
to the Canandaigua, and the steam cutter
having been supplied with extra coal. he
proceeded early next morning to the village
of Turbo to secure the services of pilot.
At evening, February l, the entrance was
discovered. The growth of timber and
driftwoOd had SO completely masked it that
it was unrecognizable save by those who
had at short intervals made use of it as an
egress to the river. The expedition reached
the month of the Napi on the fourth day of
the stores the officers and crew rested over
night and returned to the vessel, which
they reached on The forenoon of the ninth.
Master Richmond. in charge of the cut
ters, represents as intricate the navigation
of the Capo Coquito up to the Atrato, dis
tance of from ten to twelve miles. On
the Atrato it was found to be deep
and wide, and its waters excellent. Game
is plentiful. On the way back Master Rich
mond stopped at the village of Sacio. where
he was entertained by an officer represent
ing the United States Of Colombia. This
officer, Senior Ramirez, accompanied Mr..
Richmond to the Canandaigua, for the pur-
pose of offering the services OF his govern.
ment. having received instructions to that
effect. Captain Barrett would proceed to
the survey of Chagres, and on the fifteenth
Of March will sail to Cartagens, which
offers greater facilities for communicating
with Lieutenant Collins and party, as the

NEW YORK.
Steamers Withdrawn.


NEW YORK, March l8.-The two weekly
lines of steamers between this port and
New Orleans run by Mallory & Co. and A.
Baker have discontinued their trips. leaving
only one regular line in the trade. The
the withdrawal of the other two, said it had
been brought abont by the great depression
of trade in Louisiana, and the fact that
most Of the cotton which formerly found
it's way to New York in transit for Liver.
pool is now shipped directly in steamers to
Europe from New Orleans.
New York is not the great receiving port
for cotton that it used to be. As things
stand at present there is not work for more
than one'steamship line. Sailing ships have
cut mp the trade. Freights are low, and
should matters not take o more favorable
turn, steamships v i'll not succeed In making
more than running expenses. The steam.
ship trade to Savannah haa of late de-
creased to half its former extent.
