Newark Items.

NEWARK, Feb. %.
On Saturday evening, while our Newark hack
was standing at the Newark station of the p w.
& b. r. R., the horses became frightened.
Breaking the hitching strap, they started around
the main road to the railroad track. One of the
horses broke loose from the hack, crossing just
in front OF the 10. 40 train down from Whining
ton. The other, with the hack attached, turned
up the track running into the side of the train
with the tongue, breaking two panes out OF the
car windows. After the train passed, he turned
back again to the Newark road, where the horse
WAS caught and strange to say not a very great
amount of damage was done, no one being in
the hack at he time, but great amount OF ex-
element was caused.
The grand hop of the Citizens Cornet Band,
some evenings ago. was grand success. The
weather being 80 disagreeable, one would sup
pose very good turn out might not be expec-
ted but the reverse was the fact, very large
number being present of both gentleman and
ladies'. Some of the ladies dresses were very
tastefully arranged. They had engaged for the
occasion Courtney's string band, OF Wilmington,
which discoursed some of the finest dancing
music we have heard for long time in Newark.
Supper was gotten up by Mrs. Cloud Pierson, at
Newark hotel, ill splendid manner, which re-
Elected great credit upon her.
We regret to have to again announce the ex-
treme illness of Joel Thompson, Jr, President
of the National Bank of Newark, who has been
indispoeed for some time. We made mention of
the fact of his being better short time ago.
His disease has assumed more dangerous

The report of the Louisiana Committee is a
very long document. 1t was drawn by Mr..
George f. Hoar. and the draft as first sub
members of the committe. Its conclusions are
adopted by
ALL THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS
of the committee, including Mr.. Foster and Mr..
Phelps 1t was at first stated Mr.. Phelps would
unite with Mr.. Foster, of New York, and Mr..
Marshall, of Illinois, 1t ID announced tonight
that he will agree to the recommendations of the
committee. The committee recommend the pas
sage of resolution recognizing Kellogg as the
Governor of Louisiana. They also propose n
resolution declaring the opinion of the House
that the Conservatives elected majority OF the
members of the House of Representatives of the
State Legislature in the last election.
THERE Is NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW
that Kellogg is personally n bad or corrupt man.
Ills conspicuous fault il a want of courage and
tirmness, to do what he thinks is right. There
is little doubt that he would be stronger and
would give the State better Government with
the aid of a Conservative House, provided it
were fully established that he was to be the
Governor till the end of his term. The evidence
shows that Il

No AGREEMENT IN CAUCUs-No PROBABILITY OF
AN EXTRA LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
WAsHINdToN, Feb %.
The Republican caucus came to no agree
ment, as to the order of business. but the gem
eral impression is that the appropriation bills
will be disposed Of before considering the Civil
Rights bill, passed by the House. They do not
think there is any probability of an extra legis-
lative session, as business is in forward con-
1itiou.

hanged, in Marion. on the 2lst of JAN

in the dreadful vendetta. That it is a
just sentence, nc one can deny, as he
confessed to being the perpetrator of the
cold-bloOded murder of the Granville
