above cause, together with the unprece-

FEDERAL SUPREME COURT.
THE ELGEE COTTON CASE.

WASHINGTON, April 9.--The. .argu-
ment in the great Elgee cotton case
was opened to-day by Solicitor Gene
raj Phillips, who will be followed by
Mr.. Grow, of New Orleans, and Cen
eral Butler for the claimants. The
argument will be closed by the Attor-
ney-General. The case will occupy
the cohrts..s until Wednesday. = The
amount involved is 1867, 900, and ac-
crues from the capture Of the cotton
raised by Elgee On his plantation in
Mississippi, in July, 1868. Elgee
sold this cotton to C. S. Lobdell, and
in March, 1864, Lobdell contracted
to sell it to CIV. Woodruff & Co., Of
New Orleans; G. V. Woodruff & Co.
recorded judgment for the proceeds
in the Court of Claims in 1872, upon
an agreement by Woodruff & Go. that
the proceeds Should be equitably dis
tributed between the succession of
John X. Elgee, c. S. Lobdell and
themselves. The United States APP
pealed to the Supreme Court. The
case has been in litigation since
1868.

OLD Hawthorn the noted old
Jayhawker and member of the Legis-
lature Of 1864, Banks black and-tan,
has got himself into trouble. He
went down on the last trip of the
Bart. Able, in custody of New Or
leans Deputy Sheriff on charge of
forgery. Whilst the boat was here
he had writ of habeas corpus sworn
out before Judge Daigre, and was ia
ken before ''the Court" and had a
hearing. The Court could not see
things as the Old Jayhawker swore
it, but remanded him back to the
Deputy Sheriff, who continued his
way to New Orleans with his priso-
ner. In connection with this arrest,
we learn that the same officer had a
writ Of ''come fetchum," on similar
business, against and for "Sweet
Willie of Colfax, but the latter was
too sly for the Deputy, and chicken
cooped himself out of arrest.

About Home.

Our weather clerk has overdone
his March furlough and actually ex-
tended it to mid April, if we are to
judge him by his practical and bore
as antics, the most Of last week. He
really delayed his equinoctial watts
till now, and them he has given us
with some vengeance. We have had
two real stormy rains, accompanied
with hail and severe winds. In ma
ny places fences were blown down,
and near here in the hills the tenant
of a log cabin had it actually blown
up from under him and family
without bodily harm however-as for
the crops not much harm was done
them, for they are in too infantile a
status for harm to reach them-so
far, so good or bad if you please-for
none here are overly discouraged, but
are still pegging away at real farming
ticks.
Business in Town has some revival
of life and yet briskly with some pa
ces to Spring tunes, and the coming
to town of few stray bales of cotton,
some hides and other country pro-
duce--life here, there is some of it
yet and all are not candidates for the
bone yard, but are determined to
struggle to the last, even if it be only
for bare pittance-we are Of that
tribe and faith, and don't intend to
give it up so, Mr.. Brown.

ct, the peerless and unrivalled Bart.
Able, Richard Sinnott in command,
with that same good old crew and
perfect steamboatmen, reached her
home here Monday, as usual, with a
magnificent freight and plenty of peo-
pie. She left the City with the
champion trip Of the season, having
by good management and business
tack frozen out all opposition, and is
now here to stick, alone in her glory
and with the good will and solid in
tention of striving her best ticks to
maintain her well earned reputation
and remain fast in the affections of
our people. 1t remains now to be
proven whether our interested public
will meet Captain Sinnott halfway,
and partially reward him with their
business fayors, and thus secure her
here permanently.

REwARD.-Our fellow-pa rishioner,
Matt. Wells, who in his family ap-

and sons -in-law in his "pepper-gram,"
has resolved himself into office, and
q good, fat one at that. Massa Grant
has furnished him with the second
reward for his cheating on the Re
turning Board, and thus we lose him
here in Rapides. He is now Survey

toned by Radical custom.

Two special committees of
Grants own party reported of Mat.
Wells, as President of the Returning
Board, that he had acted corruptly,
cheatingly, fraudulently and had per-

rewarded him handsomely for the
baseness and accordingly endorsed
these crimes Of his newly appointed
Surveyor of the Port of New Orleans
He is the first and only President
who shuns virtuous acts and rewards
