THE races.
Aycock.

To-day will be the second day of the fall
meeting of the Louisiana Jockey Club, and
present prospects point to most enjoyable
days sport The glorious weather we have
had lately has put the track in splendid con-
dition, rendering it fast and elastic, and there
is hardly doubt that some splendid time will
be made.
The programme for the day will consist of
a straightaway two mile race for three year
olds, among the en- tries for which we find the
names of the following excellent horses :
George Graham, Jenny Rowett, Verdigris,
Pompey's Pillar, and several strangers to our
turf
The second event will be mile race for all
ages, with one hundred pounds on each, and
the last will be race of two miles and repeat
for all ages, for both of which the entries are
excellent Surely here is sport enough for
the most exacting turfman or the most en- ,hu-
siastic better.
The shellroads leading from the city to the
Fair Ground are now in excellent order, and
are still receiving the attention of the city
employees just dry enough to be pleasant,
without sufficient dust to iDjure the mos
delicate toilets of the fair sex, and smooth
enough for pleasant drive, we expect to see
such turnouts on the way to the races as will
rival the most successful of our spring meet
ings.

JUVENILE CUTTING ARRAY.
4 CoIored Girl, IL Years Old, Slabs
A Little White Boy.

Monday evening, about o'clock, crowd
of children, numbering perhaps about twenty
boys and girls, white and black, congregated
at Feaney's grocery store, corner OF Deiord
and Foucher streets, and made so much
noise that the proprietor was obliged to come
out and run them away; part of the gathering
broke up and disbanded, while the other half
walked down Foucher street toward st. Jo-
seph, when one of the children grabbed little
John Hennessey's hat off his head, and all
hands tried the best they knew how to- throw
it into the hole of stovepipe leading on to
the street from the back room of Mr.. Feaney s
s ore, and amused themselves hugely for
about ten minutes, when little Johnny got
mad and demanded his hat, which was at
this time in the hands of little colored girl
named Ellen Jackson.
Ellen paid no attention to what Johnny
aaid and in her turn tried to throw 1t into
the stovepipe; it tell to the banquette and
some of the others got hold OF 1t and COM
menced to play football with It; the game
went on for some time. when Johnny managed
to gain possession of his lost treasure, and
started towards home; when he got to the
corner of Foucher and Delord, Ellen Jack
son, the little colored girl, approached him
from behind, and tried to snatch his hat
again, but Johnny was equal to the emer-
gency, and pushed her back, whereupon she
| drew a SIN all sized pockelkniie out OF her
pocket and stabbed him IL the lefe shoulder,
causing the blood to flow freely. The boy was
taken to his parents residence on Calliope
street, near Foucher, where his wound was
examined by DR.. Cullen and pronounced not
dangerous.
Ellen ran home Immediately after TIE cut
ting and when Officer Moran went into the
house to hunt tor her, he found her hiding
underneath the bed. She was taken &c the
station and afterwards released when the
wound was examined and found to be slight.
Ellen is II years of age, some three years
older than the wounded boy. Ste denies
having done the cutting, but states that little
girl named Sarah cut him and ran home. She
also states that she ran home and hid under
the bed because the children all accused hei
of cutting Johnny. and she was afraid that
great big policeman would bring her to the
calaboose.
Little Johnny states positively that she GU
him, as do also about ten children between
the ages of five and ten years, who were play
ing together near by a. the time 1t occurred

BOLD HIGHWAYMEN.
Two Men GarrOted and Robbed Oh
Front street.

About half-pa II o'clock Sunday night
two men, named Andrew Bernard and Peter
Pareto, were attacked, garroted and robbed
while walking along Front street, between
Julia and St. Joseph, by crowd OF about
seven highwaymen, who stole one hundred
dollars gold and gold watch and chain from
Mr.. Bernard and seventy-five dollars cur
rency from Mr.. Pareto. The thieves, after
robbing the two men, made good their es-
cape after being pursued and fired at by the
officer on that beat. The gentlemen were a..
tackled in the dark, and were unable to give
any description of the thieves.

BACK AGAIN.
John f. Barrett Has Returned.
He Wants Protection.

The notorious john F. Barrett, who was
some time ago compelled to leave the city
because it was not large enough to hold him,
and several gentlemen, has returned.
He returned several days ago, but has not
as yet made his appearance in public, because
the several gentlemen referred to are still in
town.
Barrett comes with commission of Attor-
ney General Pierrepont be having succeeded
in imposing on the Department of Justice,
and his mission is to show that certain claims
against the Government for damage done
during the war-amounting in the aggregate
to one million dolars-to the property OF
loyal citizens, are fraudulent, and that the
aforesaid loyal citizens were not loyal at all,
but aided and abetted the Confederate army.
Barrett represented that he could do this, and
the Department Of Justice, not knowing him,
believed him, and issued the commission.
One of the first things Barrett did on re-
turning to this city Was to write letter to
Gov Kellogg, calling on him for protection
generally, and particularly from assaults by
ruffians and thieves connected with the Police
Board. He referred to E. E. Norton, and
spoke of him as a thief, perjurer, ETC., etc,
and threatened to do something astonishing
if he did not let him alone.
He warned Gov. Kellogg that if he did not
afford the desired projection, he (HarretD
would write to the Attorney General and les
him know all about it.
The Governor accorded the letter all the
respect due it, and informed the messenger
that there was no answer.
Barrett's history and character was for
warded to the Attorney General yesterday.
and it is probable his commission will be re-
voked in a short time.

LETTER FROM JOHN PHELPS, ESQ.
EE DE1L- MES THE PRESIDENCY OF THE COTTON
EXCHANGE.
NFW ORLEANS. Dec. g. |
To the Vice President and Board OF Directors Of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange:

New ORLEANS, Dec. g. 1875.
To the Vice President and Board OF Directors OF
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange:
Genttemen-I am in receipt OF the official
notification of my reelection as President OF
the Exchange for the ensuing year; in de-
Ginning the Office, permit me to give my
reasons, as briefly as is possible, with due re-
gard for the honor conferred.
NV private affairs will not admit of my de-
voting so much of my time to the affairs OF
the Exchange as have done in the past; this
| have explained fully to several of your nun
Der who have urged me to accept the office
for another year.
While 1 fully recognize the right of the
Exchange to demand the services of its mem
bers, cannot forget that others have claim
upon nv time, which I have almost ignored,
particularly during the past year. For the
coming year the duties connected with the
Presidency of the National Cotton Exchange,
a position which I owe entirely to the fact OF
being your representative, will require as
much of my time as l can possibly spare
from my private business.
: NV second objection to serving another
wear is of more personal nature. Last year
T declined reelection, but subsequently con-
sented to serve at the urgent request OF sew
eral of your number, as already stated at our
annual meeting I have again declined being
u
terms as l thought respectful to the members,
by whom / have been honored far beyond
any merit can claim. | cannot now consent
to serve, and thus place myself in the SEEM
ing light of declining for the purpose OF
being reelected
am of opinion that the harmony of the
Exchange will sooner be restored by the
selection of some other member as Presl-
dent. You have many more competent than
myself, and with long experience in the man
agement of the affairs of the Exchange.
For these reasons, and others not necessary
to mention, 1 very respectfully decline the
office of President, to which l have been re-
elected.
With the assistance of the Vice President
and Treasurer, and guided by the experience
and sound judgment of such body as yours,
nv successor has an easy task before him.
| Whoever fills the position thus left vacant,
can rely upon my aid at all times, and what
ever experience has taught me of the duties
will always be at his service.
! In conclusion, gentlemen, let me express
my thanks for your uniform kindness during
| the. time We have served together, and | fer
vently hope the same harmony may prevail al
your meetings in the future as in the past
In our Exchange 1 feel an interest far
deeper than I have ever felt in any institution
with which I have been connected; under
your management have not the slightest fear
for its future prosperity.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
| your obedient servant, JOHN PHELPS.

THE WESTERN UNION AND ITS
EMPLOYEES.

A simultaneous meeting of the employees
of the Western Union Telegraph Company
was held at New Orleans, Mobile, Nashville
and Memphis, Sunday morning, for the pur-
pose of protesting against the action OF the
Executive Committee in reducing the salaries
of employees. The meeting here was large
and enthusiastic. The following joint reso-
luton was adopted, and will be presented
through the proper channel to the Executive
Committee, New York:
JOINT RESOLUTION.
At meeting of the employees Of the Wes-
turn Union Telegraph Company, Sunday,
December II, the following resolutions We're
adopted:
Whereas, it is understood through Asso-
ciated Press dispatches that the directors OF
the Western Union Telegraph Company have
ordered a reduction OF salaries Of all en-
ployees of from five to TWENTY-FIVE per cent
and
Whereas, the employees of the Southern
Division have already submitted without a
murmur to reduction within the past year
therefore
Be Il resolved, That we heartily and sin
cerely trust that you will lend us your kind
action. We are, as class, poorly compen.
stated for our services, and in many instances
the present salaries are barely sufficient fol
our support. Many of US have spent the best
years Of our lives in the service of the com
pany, and hope our long and faithful services
will be favoraoly considered. When W.
consider the fact that in the report O
the Executive Committee they repor
the total profits for the past 81,
months over one and three-quarter millions
of dollars and declare 2 per cent quarterl,
dividend, and in view of the fact that tb,
past six months has been more disastrous II
the commercial world than for several years
and that the prospects for the future are NOR
promising for an increase of business and Re
ceipts, we, therefore, earnestly but respect
fully, demonstrate against any reduction o
our salaries, and request you to forward thi
communication tothe President or Executiv
Committee, through the superintendent
with such Endorsements as IN your judgmen
may seem best.
TWAS resolved that copy of the proceed
irgs of this meeting be furnished the dali.
papers for their courtesy.

WASHINGTON NUIES,

WASHINGTON, Dec Is Information has
been received from Guatemala TO the effect
that representatives OF the five Central Anne
rican States will meet on the 18th OF January,
with view OF forming federal union.
The message which the President will
shorty send to Congress on Southern affairs
will relate in greater part to the late troubles
in Mississippi and tee mode of conducting
elections in that State, the information hav-
ing been gathered by persons designated for
that purpose.
Col Lamar presided at the Democrtic caU-
Gus to- day. Banning, Of Ohio, and Robbins,
of North Caroline, secretaries.
Mr.. Waddell, of North Carolina offered res
olutions for the appointment by the Chairman
of Democratic Executive Committee, to
consist of three Senators, six Representatives.
and three citizens OF the District OF Columbia.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, offered q resolution
providing for the appointment by the Chair
man of committee of eleven members to
suggest to the caucus at future day and
meeting, such line of policy, or action,
or public measures as would best serve the
country.
These resolutions, after debate. were sever
ally agreed to.
There was a harmony of views with regard
to the duty of the maj orlty OF the House.
All agreed that they should, as far as possible,
eject q REDUCTION Oh anu LuAL LI3
government should be honestly and econom-
ically administered. Much responsibility de-
volved upon the majority of the House.
Although the Senate was not politically in
accord with them, the country desired the
stoppage of corruption and wasteful expendi-
lures, and the Democracy could not expect
the people to stand by them unless they stood
by the people.
No business apart from that aboveamen-
toned YVES considered and the caucus, after
remaining in session an hour and q hall, adj
journed.
The Chief Justice announced that the Su-
preme Court would adjourn from Friday next
| to the Sd of January.
Judge Bradley's decision in the, Grant
parish cases will almost certainly be su5-
tanned when the opinion is framed The diff
ficulty is with the manner of framing it.
The vote on admitting Pinchback was due
to-day by postponement from last session,

official nclice whatever was taken of him or
