Revival of $. w. nj.

The devotees of the Order of the Seven
Wise Men assembled in large numbers last
evening, considering that the notice was
not extensively advertised. Heptasoph
Hail. corner of Bienville street and Ex-
change alley, held an enthusiastic BODY,
who organized a new encampment to work
the new ritual lately adopted. Until per-
manent organization is effected, the follow
ing officers were elected: Crusader A. j.
Lewis, grand commander; Crusader NJ. j.
Pons. first lieutenant commander Crusader
S. NJ. Terrell, second lieutenant commander;
Crusader A. Sambola, recorder; Crusader
G. W. Sniff, banker.
This completed the organization of Or
leans Commandery No, l, S. w. NJ. Com
mittees were appointed on uniform, consti-
tuition, bylaws, etc. 1t was then proposed
to march in military order to accept the in
vltation of Crusader Jacob Baltz to visit
his establishment. The suddenness of the
confusion for few moments. Then Major
D. Kelley, of the Washington Artillery, put
them into line, and they fell into discipline
so easily that he put them through variety
of maneuvres and was forced to compli-
ment them very highly when he finished.
They took Exchange alley by storm, and
captured Baltz' establishment with ease.
Originally this society was created for
flibustering objects in Cuba and Mexico.
Three of its first leaders fell in Nicaragua
Sanders, Callahan, the first Supreme Secre-
tary and others died there. On its first OF.
ganization it raised $4,000 for these pur.
poses. The present organization contem.
plates nothing of that kind. 1t will be
military in its character, but that feature
will be more tor the purpose of cementing
the attachment of its members. Politics
and filibustering will find no advocates in
its councils.
Its organization ia extensive, 10000 being
the probable number that will renew allie
glance, and before many months the New
Orleans commandery is expected to parade
with 500 members.

Attack on Senator Brewster.

Last Wednesday night Senator Brewster
was the victim of an unexplained attack
which caused him to infict severe wound
on the nephew of Mr.. Octave Harang.
Mr.. Brewster had intended 10 visit a
place some forty miles below Thibodaux,
and was accompanied by Mr.. Thomas
Holden, son of B. F. Holden, Esq, of Thib-
odesux. As the way was too long for one
days travel, he had arranged to stop at Mr..
Harang's, about eight miles below Lock
port. Being the bearer of letter of intro
duction to Mr.. Harang, he was we'll re-
ceived and Hospitality treated. After supper
MIR. Brewster and Mr.. Holden were conduct
ed to room in an outbuilding some .wo or
three hundred feet from the dwelling. The
night November 2iI was very dark. Mr..
Brewster was tired, and had therefore re-
tired, with Mr.. Holden, before seven
o'clock, both occupying the same bed. Mr..
Brewster very soon fell into sound sleep.
but about eleven o'clock they were arouse d
oy some one attempting to break open the
door of the room, exclaiming, with an oath,
"Open this ddVfS'
The questions of Mr. Brewster, "Who
are you'" "What do you wish!" were an
swered with volley of threats and oaths
such as he had never heard before.
MIR. Brewster sprang out of bed, which
brought him in 'front.'. of small window,
which the man. finding that he could not
break open the door, was trying to enter
MIR. Brewster warned him not to come into
the room, but he tore open the blinds and
came through the window, and with the
most terrible oaths grasped Mr.. Brewster
by the shoulder.
1t was then that Mr.. Brewster shot the
man, believing that if he had waited mo-
ment longer he would have been killed by
him. Mr.. Brewster soon learned that the
man he had shot was a nephew of the gen.
tleman with whom he and Mr.. Holden were
staying.
Senator Brewster, as soon as matters
were explained, returned to Thibodeaux
for the purpose of surrendering himself
No affidavit was made against him, and he
came to New Orleans to await any further
investigation that may be desired by any
| one. The occurrence was very unfortu.
nate one, but no blame appears to attach to
| Senator Brewster.

THE SCAFFOLD.
The Execution of Toney NelIum and Alcee
harris ut Monroe.

MONROE, La, November 26.-Fully five
thousand people, mostly oolored, gathered
here today to witness the execution of
Toney Nellum and Alcee Harris, condemned
to death for the murder of Henry Harris,
the husband of Alcee, all colored. The gal
lows was erected in the centre of court
house square. near the all.
At a quarter past ten the condemned
were conducted to the scaffold. The read
ing of the death warrants followed. The
condemned were greatly agitated, and only
Nellum spoke. The confessions of both,
published in the Telegraph to-day, show
their undoubted guilt and most brutal
murder. Acee Harrie, aged twenty four
years, died with only a slight struggle;
Nellum, after falling, caught the rope above
him and the post at the side; his arms were
seized and held down by the sheriff and
Tailor until his struggles ceased; the arms
were imperfectly pinioned behind between
the elbow and shoulder, and by exeItion
his hands we're free. Forty minutes after
the fall the condemned were cut down.
The execution was conducted without in
terruption or expressions of disapprobation.
The murder was committed in May, 1874,
by Nellum who killed Harris in bed with
an ak and threw the body in the bayou.
The wife, Alcee, confessed she was a par
ticipant, and was glad of ber husbands
death, because he had beaten her and
threatened to take her life.
Edwards and Freeman Hanged at Sar-
dis, Mississippi.
MEMPHIS, November 26.-The AppeaEs
Sards, Mississippi, special says Ben Ed
wards and Oscar Freeman, both colored,
convicted at the September term of court
of the murder of Lewis Hibbler, colored,
were hanged in the jail yard here at half
past one O'clock to day, in presence of 1000
people, three-fourths of whom were colored.
Freeman declined to say anything on the
scaffold, while Edwards said: II warn you
all to beware of sistersin. law; mine has a
| better right than l IL be here" and asked
all to pray for him, saying he was accused
wrongfully. Three colored ministers were
in attendance, one OF whom gave out the
| hymn "Hark from the tembs doleful
sound They both died without much
struggling. Edwards made desperate at

SONS, therefore the Importance of the step
le hardly to be Overrated: for @ considerable
time it can not be pecuniarily profitable,
unless England also redeems the nineteen
year coupons which the Khedive hereto
fore sod.
The Times, in leading article on the
subject, has the following:
"ihere Is an audacity about it which We
do not generally associate with acts of the
British ministry. We seem to trace in tho
business the hand of Mr.. DIsraeli. The
nation wakes this morning to find that it
has acquired heavy stake in the security
and well-being of another distant land, and
that it will be held by all the world to have
entered upon a new phase of Eastern
policy. We have no desire for an exten-
sion of territory. We do not covet
the land of the Nile. Since the frman
of 1873, which gave the Khedive the right
of treating independently with foreign
States, the Egyptian government has
little cause OF complaint, and may
fulfill her duties untrammeled by StambonI
in this settlement. We desire to make NO
charge, but should insurrection or intrigue,
aggression from without, or corruption
within, bring political, as well as a fnan-
cial collapse to the Turkish empire, it
might become necessary to take measures
for the security of that part of the domip-
ions of the Sultan with which we are most
nearly concerned. An acquisition of SO
commanding an interest in the Suez canal;
an interest which must inevitably tend to
increase, will lead the government and peo-
pie of the country to concern themselves
habitually with Egypt"
The Spanish Concessions.
A special to the Daily Telegraph from
Paris states that in the Spanish reply to the
Washington government nothing is con
ceded to the United States, except that ac-
cused Americans may invoke tine aid of
counsel before courtmartial in Cuba.
A telegram from Madrid to the same
paper says so far as can be learned Spain
promises reform in the matter of the confis-
cation of property, but declines to adhere
to the treaty of 1875.

The Execution Yesterday.

All that was mortal of Alcee Harris and
Tony Nellum passed from earth yesterday
by process of law. They were both guilty
of a premeditated murder, foul in concep-
ton, with adultery for its object and con-
summated with inhuman ferocity. The first
was the wife of the murdered man. Sug-
gestions of brutal treatment have been
offered since her conviction. The trial dis
closed no such circumstance. The second,
the man, killed the man, but the woman
made him do it. Both endeavored to con-
ceal the crime by working together in bury
ing the body under log in the swamp
Illicit passion, contempt of law and com.
less cruelty, made the murder. The only
earthly remedy was death. This they have
suffered.
The execution was puolc. and at Monroe,
in the parish of Ouachita, there was an i'm
mense gathering of people from the sur
rounding parishes, considering the thinness
of the population. Before their death both
acknowledged their devotion to the Catho-
lie Church and the last religious rites were
administered They declared themselves
resigned to their fate. Sheriff Charles II.
Dinkgrave oficiated at the final act, and
the two lives joined in crime were united
in death.
In this connection may be noted the fact
that Governor Kellogg has caused the exc
cution of nine criminals during his term Of
office, viz: Five in Assumption, one in
Plaquemines, two in Ouachita, and one in
Red River parish. During the fifteen years
preceding his administration only five suf
fered the extreme penalty of law.

Purchase of Canal stock.

LONDON, November 26.-The Times has
reason to believe the British government

stock of the Suez canal, The Egyptian gov

childs at sight for the amount This pur-
chases III 900 of the 100000 shares.
The Khedive's shares in the Suez canal,
according to an old arrangement with the
canal company, receive no dividend for
nineteen years, consequently their uncondi-
tional purchase by the British government
would, in pecuniary sense, be wholly un-
profitable for that time. But Reuter- tele-
gram from Cairo states that Egypt has
agreed to pay to Great Britain five per cent
on the amount of the purchase money,

PEELED to listen to, or pay for the reading of
the Testament, which he did not believe,
why the Roman Catholic should be forced
to have his children read or listen to the
reading of the Protestant version of the
Bible which he did not think correct. or
why, in the localities where the majority
was the other way, the Protestant children
should be forced in the same way to read
