East FelIciann.

For several days a delegation of gentle
men selected at q Conservative mass meet
ing held at Clinton, East Feliciana, have
been in town. They are Messrs. Pipes,
Fuqua, Stone and Lanier, and their object
is TO secure the appointm ent of new sheriff
for that parish. The recent murders by
disguised mobs of John Gair and Babe
Matthewe, are ascribed to the fact that the
people had no respect for the sheriff, and
enc is wanted whose character will com.
mand it. Monday informal meetings we're
had with General Hugh ]. Campbell, Mar
shal Packard and others, including Lieu
tenant Governor Antoine. 1t was arranged
that the acting Governor would receive
them yesterday morning at eleven o'clock.
The meeting lasted several hours and the
matter was fully discussed. Four names,
guaranteed by the delegation to be equally
satisfactory, were psesented to the Gov
eInor, and he was asked to make choice
among them. The names were not dis
closed and 10 action, as yet, has been taken.
In this connection the following letter of
Judge Dewing in reply to that of Governor
Antoine, is of interest:
New ORLEANS, October 20, 1875.
Hon. G. C. Antoine, Lieutennt and Acting Gov.
erner OF Louisiana:
SIR am in receipt of your favor of the
sixteenth instant containing asuggestion as
to the necessity of holding a special term
of the Fifth Judicial District Court, in and
for the parish of East Feliciana. l will i'm
mediately confer With the district attorney,
A. E. Read, Esq and the members of the bar
of the parish Of East Baton Rouge, where
regular term is fixed for the first Monday
OF November, when l shall be able to de-
termine whether the purposes of public
justice will be best subserved by holding a
short regular term in Baton Rouge, that a
special term may be held in East Felciana.
Should l receive assurance that the law
abiding citizens of the parish will give their
active support to the State officers in the
enforcement of the laws Ia condition of af-
fairs certainly to be desired), Twill convey
to you my determination in the premises as
soon as reached.
/ have the honor to be. very respectfully,

Before the start Arstides was the favorite
at $3.50, with Bay Final at s4l0 and Rhada-

risked on his chances of success. After
three false starts, the horses got off we'll,

very fine, Aristides still holding his
position in front, but on the upper turn
there was earnest work and Tom Ochiltree
moved forward and stood third. At the

The Aichafaiaya and the Je titles,

Ihe REPUBLICAN recently called attention
to suggestion that the South Pass Jetty
Company may possibly make to Congress
at it's next session, namely: that provision
be made for closing "Cubitt,s gap.n the
Jump" and Bonnet Care crevasse, on &C.
count of the shoaling these outlets are sup
posed to have caused at the head of the
passes of the Mississippi-a shoaling of
which the jetty company appe ared to have
been ignorant until after having commenced
work under its congressional contract.
We suggested that the closing of the out.
let's named, if not resulting in the benefits
proposed. might lead, in the interest of the
Jetty Company, to proposition for the
closure OF the Lafourche and the Atcha-
falaya. Congress, if once committed to the
closing of certain outl ts, to be consistent,
must provide for closing others until the
ends OF the Jeity Company are subserved.
We refer to this matter now, IN order to
call attention to suggestive article III TIL
Ptfdyune of Sunday in reference to the
Atchafalaya river. The Pieayune says:

with the above title, was first played in this
country December 2l, 1874, at the Union
Square Theatre, New York. 1t was then
advertised, not as an original play, nor as a
translation, but as an adaptation by Hart
jackson, of romantic French drama
called "Les Deux orphelines." written by
Adolphe DEnnery tauthor of "Don Cesar
De Bazan") and Eugene German. In that
frs. cast were Charles X. Thorne, Jr.,
Stuart Robson, John Parselle, Mckee Ran
kin, w. j. Cogswell and other fine artists
well known here. The play had great
merits, and enjoyed long run, as had been
the case in Paris. Mr.. Hart jackson
adapted the piece to suit the the theatre OF
his employers. Before the production OF
the 1.-TWO Orphans" in New York, other
English adaptations of the play had been
acted in London theatres, particularly at
Mary lebone and at the Olympic Theatre. At
the London Olympic, MIR. John Oxenford's
adaptation of the 1.-Two Orphans had been
played for sixty nights when the Hart Jack.
son adaptation of the piece was first acted
in New York. Shook g. Palmer, of the
Union Square Theatre, claimed proprie.
tary right or ownership of the piece in the
United States. In February last the Clipper
announced that Manager Charles E. Fur
bish had purchased from Shook & Palmer
the right to perform the 1.-TWO Orph ans" in
all cities and towns of the United States,
save and excepting Baltimore, Washing ton,
Brooklyn, Chicago and Providence.
The play is now before the Superior Dis.
trict Court, parish of Orleans, to restrain
Mr.. w. j. Cogswell and company from
performing it in this city. The case leads
to the unsettled and endless question of in
ternational copyright. We are told the
plaintiffs do not rely upon copyright, but
upon ownership; they of course can show
how such ownership was acquired, and for
how long period; and the law will decide
if such ownership is equal to copyright,
in that others can be restrained from own.
ing similar property in the same country.
Plaintiffs allege the play has never been
published and that there is no need of
copyright. Then comes the query, what is
the publication A play, as the 1.-TWO
Orphans has undoubtedly been, may be
printed in three different countries for the
use Oh actors; IL may oe spoken nightly In
oineren' .neatres 10 thousands OF people,

came down on a special train meanwhile
the fire continued to burn apparently uncheck-
ed. The first officer had twice been drawn
out from the hold s~enseless and was quite
unfit for duty and at this time it was supposed
by all that the ship would prove a total loss,
fhe passengers were put into one of the lighters
along side and the steamer was being hauled
into shallow water preparatory to s%cuttling
her, many of the men either crew or shore
men, perhaps both, became lnsubOrdlnate and
conducted themselves as thieves aud drunkards.
At this i~uncture Captain kochenhausen arrlv-
ed on board and at once took full charge and
from that moment discipline was restored and
the fire attacked in earnest. Holes were cut
in the deck in many places, and water poured
in, many burning bales were holsted out OF
the hold and thrown over board, and all hands
worked with a will. BY five o'clock p. m. the
fire was thought to be extinguished but active
e~xertions were still continued; it broke out
again at ten o'clock the same evening, and
vet again, at two O'Clock a. m. of the following
dav. nor was il until four o'clock a. m. that
it was finally extinguished. The obstinacy
and the severity of the fire is shown by its
continuance during nearly sixteen hours in
spite of the most strenuous exertlons to put 1t
out. A survey was called and it was ascer-
tanned that, aside from the burning of a cOnsl-
derable portion of the deck, the ship itself had
not received any very serious damage. Ii was
estimated that about seven thousand packages,
mostly Colon cargo had been either wholly or
partially destroyedi much robbery had also
taken place. The survey recommended that
the ship proceed to Colon for repairs taking
her damaged cargo with her, and she will sail
this evening. The survey furthes compliments
