A POOR OUTCAST.
An Heiress in a Prison.
A Scene at the Third Precinct
Station.

There was low murmur heard, then q
wrestling of feet, and then babbling OF
many voices. In the midst of all this there
sounded plainly the steady tramp of the
police officers, although silenced now and
then by the shrieks of the drunken pris-
oner.
They brought her into the station Office of
the Third Precinct limp, unsteady body
and Tails, the night guardian asked her
name. Between "many hics" and many
growls, she, in maudlin voice, growled out:
" Ny name sir, is Corinne Hayward. Don't
you like it?" Her blear eyes could hardly
sand the gas light, and then winked con-
vulsively from its effects. In struggle with
the officers she had had her clothes almost
torn from her body and the gaunt effects OF
want were easily discernible.
There was no question but what she was
drunk. Her alcoholic breath, her simi-coma-
tose condition, her wild and haggard appear
ance all too plainly told the story. -.
"Corinne, you have been here before Z!

"Yes, sir; I comes here every week, you

Just at this time there happened to drop in

know who that woman is?" Receiving q
negative answer he went on to say "She,
that poor old haggard wretch, is an heiress.
She, to-day, is worth more than SIS, 900; but
owing to her dissipated habits, no lawyer will
take her case.

PASS CHRISTIAN REGATTA.
The Maggie the Winner.

Monday was certainly the iveliest day that
Pass Christian has had in years.
Every one at the Pass turned out, and with
people from other points along the coast and
from this city lined the beach and crowded
the wharves.
The interest in the event, which was the
occasion of it all-the regatta-was very
great.
The rival boats, the Adelia, Maggie and
Cayuga, were all entered, and each of them
had many friends and hackers
The Adelia was entered by Walkart and
sailed by Carney. The Cayuga entered by
Keep. sailed by Nick Holly. Maggie entered
and sailed by Brewster.
OF the fourth class boats there were the fol-
lowing entries Minnie (old Mahony), Mary
Ida, Corrinne and Katie.
Our young and enterprising townsman, j.
T. Picot, was on hand and sold the pools.
Bidding was lively, and there was considera-
BILE money invested. The Maggie and the
Adelia sold about even.
There was considerable delay in getting the
stake boats In position, and the start was not
made until 2:20 o'clock. At that time, how
ever, there was good breeze and the boats
got off in fine order and well together.
The first round was made. the Maggie lead
ing, the Adelia second, and the Cayuga third,
the Minnie coming close behind her. The
other boats spread out.
1t became evident that it would be impossi-
BILE to complete the race before darkness
came en-, and it was agreed between the
judges and the owners of the several boats to
end it on the second round, making the race
ten miles.
The boats went over the course the second
time, ga flying all the way round until just
as the home stake was reached, when the wind
suddenly died away. and there was just enough
to carry the leading boats past.
The Maggie went by first in one hour and
and forty-tnree minutes, the Adelia came
next, five minutes and eight seconds later,
and the Cayuga followed. passing in one hour
and ffty-six minutes. The Minnie was prob.
ably three minutes behind, and the othe,
boats no where.

MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
EXPLAINS.
New ORLEANS, Aug. "a, 1875.

New ORLEANS, Aug. "a, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Dear Sir-As the resolutions offered by Mr..
Eustis, before the State Central Committee,
seem to have created strong feeling of dis
satisfaction among some of our best people,
and having voted for part of said resolu-
ton, / desire to be placed Alright thereon.
So far as the people of my ward, who are un.
doubted Democrats, were concerned, thought
that they were unprepared to 60 into an i'm
mediate campaign.
Therefore, after having heard the different
arguments pro and con. voted against the
immediate calling of Convention, condition
ally that the President of the committee, Mr..
r. Fl. Mari, could in the event of such ne
cessity presenting itself, convene q meeting of
the committee to discuss the matter. This is
the only question on which differed with
the minority, as the records will show, voting
subsequently to strike out Ito make nomina-
tions) for plain Democratic State Convention.
I know that since the adjournment of the
committee that the resolutions, as adopted,
have been thoroughly discussed and strong
feeling of disappointment is being expressed
at its action-in fact even the press, SO long
silent and Indifferent as to our political
affairs, have taken the matter up seriously
and are making things warm. Had they
shown the same spirit few days ago the mat
ter would have been different, no doubt, and
the necessity for the present communication
would not have existed.
will close Mr.. Editor, by saying that
acted as 1 thought for the best, in all fairness
and honesty; therefore, feel no apprehen-
sion of being censured for my conduct, as |
am sufficiently known as an unauthorized
Last Ditcher, as to be placed above suspicion.
Having always been opposedsto compromises
of all sorts, whether advantageous or other
wise, I an still SO, and will always be found
on the side of honor and justice, which fol
me only exists in the ranks of the genuine
Democracy.
Respectfully,
j. V. GUILLoTTE,
Member of the State Central Committee, pre-
tenn, Ninth Ward.

The Milwaukee Ne,os says the reason the
Independent journals oppose the Democratic
ticket in Ohio is that they hope to crowd the
National Democracy upon an initiation plat
form, thus giving the Republicans chance
to renominate President Grant, and making
an opening for third candidate, who would
beat both the Infationist aud Grant. The
Ne,os says it's of no use to attempt such q
thing for third candidate would not carry q
single State, and thus admonishes the unruly
editors "The place where the labor and the
influence Gf they have any of the 1ndepen-
dent newspapers should be placed is with the
hard money Democrats. Instead of decrying
and seeking to belittle such Democrats as Thur
man and Tilden, we tell these Independent
editors that their duty and the policy of wisdom
for them is to uphold strengthen and re-en-
force the hard money Democratic sentiment.
The course they are now pursuing tends to
precipitate the Centennial campaign upon
the Issues of a third term upon one side and
inf alton on the other"
