LOUISIANA MATTERS

On the first page Of this paper lnay
be found the Presidents Message in re-
lation to Louisiana and the late trou-
blcs that are now claiming the attention
Of the country. Congress devoted con-
siderable time to the discussion of these
matters during the past week, and the
report Of q committee sent to New Or
leans to investigate the affairs Of the
state was presented. 1t appears from
all the facts printed, that both parties
claiming to rule the state are as corrupt
as need be, and that peace and good or
der will not come until a better set of
men are elected to Office, and a better
spirit prevails. The attempt that is be-
ing made by the democratic press, and
the anti-administratio papers, to saddle
the blame on the President. will not sue
coed. His message is too plain, and the
facts elected from other sources are TOO
convincing to allow the people to be de-
ceived We give below the opinion Of
L. H. Stoughton, Esq, the noted demo.
cratic lawyer Of New York, upon the
whole subject. After discussing the sub
ject at length. he sums up as follows:
My purpose in what ! have thus has
tily written has been mainly to establish
that the statement deliberately put for
ward that a State Legislature, peaceful
/ ly assembled, had been wantonly dis
persed by orders Of the President, is ut
terly without foundation. Such an &C
would have been wholly without excuse
indeed, a crime without justification
We have seen that there was 20 Legis

have seen. also. that the President coulC
not have ordered, or, until all was over

Of them-without official information O
what was done-would have been un
justi6able and a reflection upon that of

his judgment or for his purposes. But
at the same time, | cannot believe in tn
innocence or peaceabie purposes Of hi
political opponents, who, no longer sine
than last September, forcibly overturnei
his Administration and took control Q
the State. That their later purpose ha
been TO obtain its control by an exhibi
tion Of less force and more chicane. frau
and management, do not doubt, an
these they have employed, believing, a
| suppose, that they were appropriat
weapons against what they regarded a
the frauds of the Returning Board. Blu
with all this we have nothing 70 do j
determining whether we shall or nC
condemn the highest officer in the n;
tion for an act performed by his subo
diuate, upon the requirement Of the Coy
ernor whom these persons are strugglin
to overthrow. It will probably appes
: when the acts and orders Of the Pres
dent are known that his directions to ii

At the time congress gave the Pacific
Mailship Co. subsidy, several million
dollars, to assist them in creating and
maintaining a line of steam ships on the
Pacific, about $4,000 was paid out by
the company to the "lobby" about Wash
ington. An investigation now being
held, reveals the fact that many persons
high in public esteem, received portions
Of this money. Up to the present time,
no money is shown into the hands of
congressman. The press is getting into
trouble, as several parties connected
with newspapers received from one tc
twenty-five thousand dollars of this mon.
ey. Irwin, one Of the persons who paid
out the money, refuses to tell to whom

The child was named St. Clair, and was
transferred to his maternal grandmother

wife's death, and continually expressed
the wish to be beside her grave. His
family believed that time would heal the
wound, and appreheuded no serious re.
suits. On the morning of the suicide

4 MAN sHor WHILE DEFENDING HIMSELF AaAINsT
TREsPAsBERs. ~
The third murder within year in Delaware
county was committed on Monday. A party Of
six men, with four dogs, were cunning in Ha-
yerford township, near or on the farm occupied
by Samuel Hibbard. The dogs were frightening
the sheep on the place, and Hubbard requested
the men to leave. This they refused to do, and,
after some words, it is said that Hubbard shot
one OF the dogs-a setter. One Of the gunners
then struck Hibbard with the butt of his gun.
A fight ensued, and at this juncture 1t is alleged
that Sheridan interfered, and one of the party in
retaliation fired at him, the shot taking effect in
the right side of his head, killing him instantly.
AS soon as the men noticed what had taken
place, they fled, and in short time they were
out Of sight.
The gunners were ali arrested and had a pre-
liminary hearing in Philadelphia yesterday, and
we're locked up to await the action of the Della
ware county authorities. One of the party,
Frederick Troup, says in justification of him
self and companions that they we're in search of
squirrels, and that they were pursued by Sheri-
dan who fired and killed one of the dogs. Sher-
idan then caught hold of the gun belonging to
one OF the men, and while 30 doing it went off,
killing him instantly.

rne Wilmington Conference.

Ifs ANNUAL SESSION IMPORTANCE, LEADING CUES
rIoNs-MISIsTERIAI CHANGES, 90.
The regular annual meeting of the Whining
ton NJ. Z. Conference will be held In the Union
NJ. L. church, OF this city, commencing tho 18th
Of March. Ont OF respect to the distinguished
service Of Bishop SCOTT, who was born, and
spent the principal part of his active ministerial
life within the bounds OF tile Conference, it has
been decided that he shall be its presiding Off
GER.
The coming conference Is important Ifrom the
fact that it is the year in which the Lay Confer
ence also meets, and elects two lay members to
the General Conference, which meets every four
years in the month OF .May The annual Con-
ference will be composed of about 100 ministe-
mai and about 100 lay delegates, which, with
other official visitors, will swell the number in
attendance to nearly $50.
Outside OF the regular routine business of the
Conference, the question Of the status OF Pre-.
siding Elders will enter largely into its debera-
tons. An opinion has, for a long time, pre-,
yailed and is fast gaining ground that Presid-
ing Elders should, at least be made elective Of
tieers by the respective annual Conferences in
stead OF being appointed by the presiding
Bishop. Tho election of delegates to the Gem
efal Conference. two of which will be ministers
and two laymen, will derive increased import
ance from the opinions the candidates may en-
iertan upon any change proposed in the PieAid-
ing Elderahp
The Dover and Easton Districts will be open
for new Presiding Elders al the coming Confer
ence. The vacancy in the Dover District was
caused by the death of Rev. Wesley Kenney, and
- now temporarily filed by Rev. j. M. Williams,
Principal of the Conference Academy at Dover.
The Easton District is now filed by Rev. John
Hough, whose term of four years expires. To
I'LL these positions number OF names are can
yassed, principal amongst which are Revs. John
Iiough, DR.. Matlack, Charles Hill, George A.
Phoebus, A. w. Miby, Ii. H. Colcla2er, and Will
liam Urle
Owing to the recent change of appointing
ministers for threo years, the old fashioned
general change year has become obsolete, an
eqnal proportion OF changes of ministers now
bong made at each Conference. There is only
one minister in this oity Grew. J. b. Merritt, of
st. paule) whose term OF three years expires,
and where change must positively be made
The Union NJ. H. church has never yet had. d
minister for moro than two-year term but it
is altogether probable that Rev. II. L. Martini
dale, who has been 30 signallv successful will
be continued another year. There will be no
change at Asbury Grace, while changes at
Scott and Brandywine are within tho range of
Possibility.

RECEIVER CANDY EXECUTES HIS BOND AND TAKES
POSSESSION OF THE RoAD-No CHANGE IN sUBoR-
DINATEs.
William NJ. Candy, appointed Receiver Of the
W. Il W. Railroad in the U. 8. Circuit Court,
yesterday, gave bond in the amount Of $4,000,
and William Canby and Edward T. Bellah were
accepted as his sureties. He then took posses
sion OF the road, and assumed its entire man
agement, according to the order of the Court.
Notice of this is given elsewhere. Mr.. Candy
made no change in the subordinate officers Of
the road, and none is at present anticipated.
The actual reason why the proceedings taken
yesterday have now been precipitated is that
two suits we're in progress in the Court at New
Castle, against the Company. one of them being
claim for $4,000. sued for by Matthew Baird,
Of Philadelphia, formerly head Of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, this sum being his share of
10000. which the Company owes that concern.
Ii these judgments had been obtained, the rev.
enues Of the road could have been attached, or
its property seized, to satisfy them, to the pref.
udice Of other creditors. The application for
the appointment of Receiver was acquiesced
in by all parties concerned, but there was
preference felt on the part OF some. for contin-
uing Mr.. Bradford, who has served for nearly
two years as President, without any compensa-
ton, and has given much time and labor
to the position, in charge OF the road as
Receiver. Judge Bradford, however, as stated
in yesterdays report, took the view that Mr..
Bradford's being President made it improper
that he should be made Receiver, though it was
pointed out that Mr.. Candy stood in exactly the
same relation to the corporation, being himself
a member Of the Board of Directors, elected by
the stockholders.
The only difference among tile roads credi-
tors, thus far, is therefore in reference to the
selection Of a Receiver, and all parties announce
their confidence in Mr.. Canbys integrity of pur-
pose. The question, however, whether the road
shall now be forced to sale, under the bill filed
yesterday, will probably develop decided oppo-
sition OF views. Ool Fl. g. McOomb is under
stood to be, as he was two years ago. strong
advocate of foreclosure and sale.
