Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
The Radical press with its usual mendacitz
and astu.eness argues from the premise that
titty-three Radical members, constituting q
majority, were entitled to participate in the
organization Of the House of Representatives
on the 4th of January, 1875, and that the use
OF the United States troops were necessary to
remove from the floor of the hall thirteen per
sons who had illegally and wrongfuIly in
truded themselves in the legislative halls.
The fact that the Conservatives elected at
the ballot box seventy-two members, and
therefore in reason, law and Justice were en-
titled to majority of twenty-nine in the Or
ganlzation of the House is studiously ignored
This stubborn fact is our answer to the charge
that we usurped seats on the floor of the
House, and will vindicate US before the
American people.
The gentlemen who were elected bv brute

Jorlties in their respective parishes under

and used in the Radical interest, and not

people by the illegal and arbitrary use of the

This is not case for legal clubbing or dis

TIE LACES OF A RUSSIAN COUNTESS,
from the New York Times

LII JAl ZIG view 1OTh lines,
The Russian Countess Olga De-Malute
Fralotf visited this country in 1869 for the
benefit of her health, under the advice of her
physicians. She is the wife of Count Fraloff,
who holds high position in the Russian
army. She had IN her possession rare laces,
valued by her as heirlooms, and mostly made,
as she claimed, on her ancestral estates. She
considered them worth about $50. 900. al
though their intrinsic or sci ing value was
probably not more than half that amount:
but she "was born in them, married in
them, and they had been worn by her an
cestors and herself on so many memorable
occasions that they seemed to her like an in
separable portion Of her patrimony.
These laces had been worn by their owner
at assemblages Of rank and beauty, in the
principal cities of Europe, for the Countess
was great traveller, and the laces in Paris,
which she visited on ten different occasions,
were well known as one of the finest and
rarest collections of old specimens ever worn
in that capital of fashion. On Nov. 4, 1869,
while the Countess was journeyiug to Niagara
Falls by the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad. the trunks containing the
laces were broken into shortly after the train
left Albany, and the contents were stolen.
Every effort by the detectives and the offer of
large rewards failed to effect the recovery of
the priced lace.
The loss almost killed the Countess. and
she has never since fully recovered from the
blow. She endeavored to obtain PAYMENT
from the railroad company for her property,
but the company would not admit that the
theft was on account of negligence on the
part of their mployees. She brought suit in
the United States Circuit Court to recover
$4,000, the claimed intrinsic value Of the
laces The case was tried in April, 1872 and
resulted in disagreement Of the jury as to
The amount to be awarded plaintiff eigh. of
The jurors being in favor Of awarding S75, 900,
Two $4,000 and the other two $1,000 The
aces consist Of the finest "Old Regency

The case came on for retrial yesterday in |
he United States Circuit Court before Judge |
Wallace, Messrs. J. W. Gerard and John II. |
Bowers appearing for the plaintiff, and Messrs. !
Elliot E. Shepard and Frank n Shepard for
he Railroad Company. The plaintiff is now
'bsent travelling in Africa, but her deposition,
of the evidence given by her on
ne previous trial, will be read. Evidence
SIMILAR to that given on the former trial, prov
ng the plaintiffs rank. and corroborative of
ler testimony respecting herself, will be given
~ Baron Charles r. Ostensackeu and Waldo
mar De Bodisco, the Russian Minister at
" ashlngton. The retrial will probably last
several days.
