Nardyn and Duparc in the cast. The long
season of four weeks at the Varieties The

as the amusement season had not then
fully opened, but it must be said the troupe
was all that it was represented to be,
strong and well drilled, and the NEST COM
plete organization of the kind that ever
came to this city. The attendance at the
Opera House has been very good so lar,
and large houses may be expected this noon

said.
On Friday night the last performance
will be given for the benefit of The excel

TRY IT-Chances tor fortunes slip by
every day often unkn wn to us, but when
we see the chance and do not avail our
selves, then the negligence is almost Grim
inal. The golden drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company, which takes place
in the latter part of this month, offers in
dncements which, if let slip, might never
offer again, and we would advise all to take
a chance. Lotteries have been objected to
on moral grounds, but with one fairly con-
Quoted there can he no more ohjsciion than
in risking ones money in the regular course
OF business. There will be no scaling of
prizes, and the drawing will positively
come off as advertis. d. so those WHO do not
wish to lose this chance to become rich had
better come forward and at once secure a
ticket. All business is risk. A lottery is
nothing more-nothing less Every one
investing in the golden drawing can calcu-
late his chances. They are one in six for a
gold prize certain, and al ford the oppor-
tunty OF winning splendid fortune. Who
would be rich, themselves must strike the
blow,

NEW ORLEANS DECEMBER 1878
The New Move in the Newton Case,

The Bulletin has discovered q new sensa.
uon in an alleged "new move" in behalf of
Newton, now lying under sentence for the
murder of Bourdonnay. The following is
the statement Of the case:
At the regular meeting of the Legislature
a bill changing the venue in the case was
introduced into and passed the House and
WAS sent to the Senate. The Senate. as far
as the records show, did not reach it.
During the extra session the Senate took up
and passed the bill. 1t was sent to the
House, but was not reached. After the ad-
journment of the Legislature the friends of
the bill contended that the passage through
the Senate was the final passage of the bill
Clerk Ire zeyant, of the House, however,
refused 70 sign it, on the ground that it
came up in the Senate at the extra session
as new bil and should have been passed
during the same session by the House. In
this position he was maintained by "A writ
ten opinion of the Attorney Genera.
Ii is now proposed 20 show that the bill
passed the Senate at the regular session;
and If this can not be satisfactorily proven,
it is proposed tU show that the passage by
the Senate at the extra session was the
final passage; and if This fails, an effort will
be made to show that it passed .he House
at the extra session. and was held by the
Committee Enrolment.
Assuming the legislative proceedings to
have been as stated above, they can have
no effect on the fate of Newton. Even if
the bill to change the venue passed both
houses regularly, of which there is we'll
grounded doubts, it failed to have any force
or effect until signed by the Governor. 1t
has never been approved, and is therefore
go much waste paper. In the meantime the
case has been tried in the Criminal Court,
where verdict was obta ned. An appeal
to the Supreme Court in behalf of the pris-
oner resulted in an affirmation of the YER
dict and so far the courts of Justice are
closed against the condemned man. An un-
executed legislative INTENT however plain
1t may be made to appear, can not be
pleaded in lieu of law. Nor will the failure
to perfect this act constitute sufficient
reason for a pardon, unless 1t can be shown
that the prisoner was denied fair trial and
deprived OF justice. If there were any vir-
tue in the action of the Legislature, it should
have been urged, with other defenses in the
Superior Criminal Court, and brought be-
fore the Supreme Court in the record.
There was no law authorizing the change
of venue, and Newton was pat ON his trial
at the place where the offense was commit
ted. He has exhausted his legal remedies
without avail, and nothing can avert the
penalty he has incurred except the inter
position of executive clemency.

The Feiiciana Outrages.
The Picoyane says:


AS regards the Feliciana business, we
have onl, t. repeat our remark of vester-
day, that the REPUBLICANS "blood and
thunder stoiles' are totally unsupported by
evidence. and are, therefore, worthy of no
consideration whatever.
The trouble is not that the Picuyune is
untruthful; it is only dull, sleepy and slow.
In this instance it has, unlike itself, made
up its mind prematurely. I1 the course of
week or two, when the news is stale with
everv other paper in tho State, we may ex-
pect the Picayane to discover what has
been going on in the Felicianas.
The cases of arson mentioned in the
REPUBLICAN of Tuesday, have since been
confirmed by the Bayou Sara paper. as will
be seen by reference to our column of State
news. The account of the assassination of
Jack Rnssell has already appeared as a
tip-top White League Joke in the Bu'iet y.
The Pcaylne says:
The REPUBLICAN INDUCES in wholesale
accusations against the best reputed com
munities in the State, and we ask for proof.
The REPUBLICAN has only stated, on the
authority of a reputable and Trustworthy
citizen Of the parish. few cases of lawless-
ness and crime which had come to his no.

gerating, we are now convinced that our
informant has not half told the truth of the
fiendish outrages that have been committed

days The Picay'me, Intentionally or not
has taken the easiest course for Demo.
cratic paper. 1t is cheaper to ignore the
outrages than to defend them.
