The Dutch Church have announced that
their receipts, the last month for missions,
were the smallest ever known since the organ
ization. Many are begging who never begged
before. There is absolutely nothing to be
done, and no pay if people could get work.
TO say that there is actual want and starva-
tion in the city is to speak within bounds.

presiding. They formed themselves into an
organization for the purpose of collecting the
records Of the regiment and rear monument
to perpetuate the memory of their gallant
dead. There were present some thirty-five
survivors of this renowned corps. They pro-
pose to send circulars throughout the State,
calling general reunion of the command in
Columbia in July next.
Col. Parmele, who was sent by Governor
Chamberlain to Edge6eld to recover the
arms from the State Militia in that county,
has made his reports In the first report he
says that $50 of the 500 stand of.arms issued
to the militia have been recovered, and stored
in the county Jail. About eighty stand of
arms were sent to Columbia in 1874, and the
remaining seventy are missing. In the second
report, Col. Parmele gives, at some length,
the result of his observation as to the present
relations between the white and colored citi-
zens of Edge6eld county. He does not seem
to think that the negroes have been much to
blame at any time but, what is most impor-
tant, he reports that the Executive proclama-
ton, calling for the disbanding of military
organizations, is obeyed to the letter by all
classes that the presence Of United States
troops at Edge6eld Courthouse is not neces-
sary, and that the force of public opinion and
vigorous prosecution of the means provided
by law will unite to prevent lawlessness here
after.
The Union Times furnishes the following
particulars in regard to a homicide in that
county last week "a shocking homicide was
committed in this county on Thursday night

The victim was one John Wicks, and the
perpetrator of the deed, it is believed, is Will

Wicks was found the next morning lying in
the road with the throat cut from ear to ear
and the skull fractured from blow on the

been found to testify to having seen the deed
committed, but the two were seen together on
the road not long before it occurred, and
many heard the blows and cries Of distress
from the deceased. Deputy Coroner, W. A.
Bolt, summoned jury of inquest on the next
day, and after hearing the testimony, the
jury returned the following as their verdict :
"That John Wicks came to his death by a
blow on the right side of the head, and also
by cut across the throat, and that upon
hearing the testimony we verify believe that
William Griffin committed the deed" Grif.

To the Senate of the United States:
Herewith have the honor to send, in
accordance with the resolution of the Senate
of the third instant, all the information in
Wy possession not heretofore furnished re-
1ating to affairs in the State Of Arkansas.
l will venture to express the opinion that
all the testimony shows that in the election
of 1879 Joseph Brooks was lawfully elected
Governor Of that State; that he has been
unlawfully deprived of the possession of
his Office since that time; that in 1874 the
constitution of the State was by violence.

OverthrOwn, and a new constitution
adopted, and q new State government
established. These proceedings, If per
mitted to stand, practically ignore all

of the States recently readmitted to federal
relations on certain conditions from chang
ing their constitutions and violating their
pledges, if this action in Arkansas is &C.
quiesced in! l respectfully submit whether
precedent SO dangerous to the stability of
State government, if not Of the national
government also, should be recognized by
Congress.
earnestly ask that Congress will take
definite action in this matter to relieve the
executive from any acting upon questions
which should be decided By the legislative
branch of the government.

The appearance of Mr.. j. X. Emm ct al

crowded house, which attested the popular

changes for the better since Mr.. Emmett

new songs which he introduces with pleas
ing effect in the concert scene, and all will
want to see Frat-. As no carnival ball will
be given at the Varieties Theatre, Mr.. EN-.
met will play tonight.
At the St. Charles Theatre Mr.. Joseph
Murphy appeared in his several characters
in "Help." The play is strongly cast, and
its sensations and musical effects are we'll

ct the Academy Of Music was played
"Alixe," with the Lingards in the cast. The
heroine is q character suited to the style of
Miss Alice Dunning, an accomplished and
beautiful actress. La Marquise was played
by Miss Nellie Boyd, who has been added
to the company as juvenile lady. Miss
Boyd is an actress who will win favor with
the patrons Of the house.

Adjustment In Louisiana.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial seems to understand
the situation here, as viewed from the Dem
ocratic standpoint, very thoroughly. He
says:
Private advices fro,n Louisiana continue
to represent the prospect OF an early COM
promise there as exceedingly favorable.
The chief impediment to this adjustment
has been the opposition of the Democracy
of the North to any compromise. They find
it extremely convenient to have the disOr.

in order that they may make party capital
out of it, very much resembling in this

lana, because they were enabled to 20 before
the country and point to them as having
been brought about through the NAL ladmin-
D1etfation of the Republican party. The
Democrats OF Louisiana have but recently,
it seems, come to realize that they are
sought to be used as the monkey used the
cat in the comedy Of the roasted chestnuts
They have consequently about concluded to
disregard the dislnterested advice of these
patriotic brethren of the North opposed to
compromise, and are inclined to waive the
rights due to state Of martyrdOm. Those
best informed with regard to Louisiana are
quite confident that it settlement ls once
reached. it will be accepted in good faith BY
all the people in the State, and will be the
end to the confusion and turbulent disor-
der that have prevailed there.

Talk at the State House.

The Wheeler plan of adjustment, which
has been the cause Of so much dissension
in the ranks of the Democracy, causes
hardly a ripple of excitement at the State
House. The Republican members of the
House, who would be the most sensibly af-
fected in case the plan should be agreed to
have thus far not even had the subject un-
before it could be carried out, the Repub-
ican members would have considerable to
say about it. In fact, we do not see why
the Democrats should get SO hot about the
matter one way or the other, until they
have made sure that the Republicans will
voluntarily step back and relinquish that
to which they are in justice entitled, and
which they have got. This is the way we
hear many Republican members talk They
are sincerely anxious that the Democratic
members should resume their seats, and as
sist in accomplishing such legislation as is
essential to the best interests of the State.
As an expression Of the opinion of the
Republican members of the House on this
question, the following invitation and pledge
was yesterday signed by forty-seven of the
gentlemen occupying their seats:
NEW ORLEANS, February 8, 1879.
Whereas, it is the earnest and honest
desire OF the undersigned Republican men,
bers OF the House of Representatives to do
all that lies IN our power to assist in bring
ing about such an adjustment of the pres
ent difficulties under which the people of
this State are laboring as will rebound to
the good of the State, by the repeal of such
laws as are considered obnoxious and inju-
rious, and the enactment of laws looking to
the peace, welfare and prosperity Of the
whole State;
Now, therefore. the undersigned members
OF the House earnestly invite the Conser.
vative members to come into the Legisls-
ture and unite with us in the enactment of
such laws as will prove to the prosperity

MaFdi Gras.

Mardi Gras will go by without its usual
celebration. Our people believe themselves
too poor: too lean this day for Fat Tuesday.
A greater calamity might occur than the
omission to observe the heather legacy of
carnival, but senseless as it may have been,
we shall miss the gay crowd, the street
pageants and the merry maskers. In the
year 1857 the Mistick Krewe made it's first
appearance, when the carnival celebration
first took an organized shape, and method
was given to the madness of revelry. After
the celebration of February 13, 1861, the
Krewe and other societies failed to appear
until 1866. The interim was filed up with
the war Of rebellion. Comus and Democ.
racy are not calculated to get along we'll
together. Rex this year asserts that he has
been turned out Of the city on accounfbf
political difficulties. St. Louis, attending
strictly to business, reads US a moral lesson
on the folly of Mardi Gras. Louisville,
Memphis and Mobile laugh at the failure of
our show, and will get up little circuses of
their own, but they can not compete with
what New Orleans has done, and will do
again in good time.
