BATON ROUGE.
Letter from the Mayor Elect to the
President Of the Democratic Par
ish Committee Of Orleans.

BATON ROUGE, LA, April S, 1876.
2. Malochee. Esq. President Democratic Parish
Committee. New Orleans:
Dear Friend-It afforded me much
pleasure to receive your letter OF con-
graduation upon the occasion OF the
triumph of our Democratic city ticket
on Monday last.
Our people here do, and in fact, those
OF The entire State, must regard our
success as the opening Of a new phase
in the political situation, when it is con-
sidered that large number of colored
men came up to the polls, and OF their
own free will cast their open ballots for
the Democratic ticket. The election
was the most quiet held here since the
war. The best OF feeling prevailed dur
ing the entire day, evidenced by the
fact that my opponent, Mr.. Schorten,
and myself walked up to the polls to-
gether, interchanging votes, amid the
cheers of the crowd.
We feel here that our colored citizens
have broken their party shackles. and
henceforward we look confidently upon
the political future as pointing to the
entire liberation of our State.
With sincere thanks for the very COM
plimentary expressions which you utter
regarding myself, striving, as l will do,
to endeavor to merit them.
l remain, very truly, your friend,
LEON JAsTREMsKI, Mayor elect.

Theatrical Notes.

That was handsomely done by John
Mccullough when he telegraphed to
Chas. P. Warner at the Southern Hotel,
st. Louis, from San Francisco, to buy a
ticket to Edwin Adams benefit at the
Olympic Theatre, pay $500 for it and
draw on him for the amount. But then
John McCollough's heart is as big as his
body, and this little action OF his is but
his true inwardness expressing itself.
Edwin Booth recently closed a very
successful engagement in Louisville,
and is now in Cincinnati filling an en-
cagement there at Woods Theatre.
Recent advices inform us that Miss
Mary Anderson, the fair young star
whose genius but short time since so de-
lighted and astonished our citizens, has
Just concluded an engagement to play
at Woods Theatre, Cincinnati, ONO, 70.
Macaulay, Manager,l for one week, COM
mencing May l. On Friday, May 5,
Miss Anderson takes a benefit, when
she plays Meg MerriHes in "Guy Man
nering."
From recent interview published in
the Courier Journal we notice that Miss
Anderson holds in very grateful remem-
brance the citizens of New Orleans,
from whom she experienced such APP
preciative attention.

CUSTOMHOUSE NOTES.
The Granite Building by LamplIg

The Granite Building by LampIIght.
Yesterday the Customhouse presented
a most dismal appearance. The usually
dark halls and corridors Of the sombre
building were plunged in Cimmerean
darkness. The employees Of the vari-
Gus departments CROPPED cautiously in
the building. The darkness was so uni
versal as to seriously impede business
in many Of the departments.
IN THE PosToFFICE
the want Of light is more seriously felt
than elsewhere. The vast proportions
and the intricate business of the depart
ment, makes of gas an imperative ne
cessity. All the Indispensable business
was carried on by candle light. In the
clerks offices Of the Circuit and Dis
trict Courts the enterprising employees
had substituted coal oil and Septoline
lamps for the missing gas. Judge
Woods being absent,
THE CIRCUIT COURT
was presided over by Judge Billings, Of
the District Court, both courts being
opened at the same time.
THE GRAND JURY
was called and eighteen members, the
lull Jul y, duSWCIVb w CuVll hdhhO, "h'
were, by order of the Judge, turned over
to the tender mercies of Government
prosecuting agents in the whisky and
cotton cases.
Capt. Brooks, Assistant Chief OF De
tectives, and Revenue Agent Wheeler,
both hanked by huge rolls OF documen-
tary evidence, among which could be
seen a certain number Of wholesale
liquor dealers books, entered the Grand
Jury room with the jurors. 1t is sur
missed the District Attorney, believing
that Judge Woods decision on the de-
murrer operated to quash the indict-
ment against the whisky ring, is quietly
working to have
NEW INDICTMENTS
ready as soon as the old ones are
uuashed officially. The late proceedings
in the matter of the Grand Jury will
not, in all probabilities, delay the prose
cution as much as it was at first antici-
pated, unless the learned counsels have
some additional reserved batteries to
1t is the intention of the officials to
push matters vigorously and promptly
arrive at conclusion.
THE COTTON CASES
are receiving the personal attention Of
Assistant General Blair. 1t is probably
that the Grand Jury will have some
work in that line also, and that to expe-
dite business it will resort to night SEES
sions.

THE OVERFLOW.
The water at Memphis Above any Pre-
viOus Rise since 1867.

Appropos Of the interview OF city
contemporary about high water and its
conclusion that all published reports
had been greatly exaggerated, the
following from the Memphis Aralanche
is interesting;
sInasmuch as there is an overflow
already upon the low lands fringing the
shores of the Mississippi river, and
several Of its tributaries, with more
water coming from above, there is rich
ness in the dispatch sent by the Asso-
ciated Press reporter from N ew Orleans,
a couple Of days since, stating that in
the opinion Of City Engineer Sgd
Hardee, Of that place, the present pros
poets do not warrant the belief that a
flood is imminent. The water here is
now above any previous rise since 1867,
and according to some it is over that
rise. At Cairo the water is more than a
foot above any former rise since '67. AS
the swell has not yet ceased there, and
the water here always rises ten days
after it comes to stand at Cairo, it is a
reasonable deduction that we will yet
have eight or ten inches Of water more
than the marks now show. If the New
Orleans folks could interview and pro-
mulgate the opinion Of some old shell
back, swampite, landlubbGr, steamboat
rouster. or even State Engineer JEFF
Thompson, news might be developed
worth something.
We do not, however, think City Engi-
neer Hardee justly liable to such criti-
cism. The mistake probably rests with
his enterprising interviewer.

Wet Criminals as Kellogg
pardOns Them All.

Wet Criminals as Kellogg
PardOns Them All.
The State House yesterday was dark,
dull and dank. Death-like stiffness
reigned in all the departments, and the
clerks seemed lulled to sleep by the in
cessant and monotonous pattering OF
the rain. In the basement of the CAPT
tol the members Of the Funding Board
were busily engaged burning the can
celed bonds of the State. Ending his
daily round in the office of the
ATTORNEY GENERAL,
this reporter stated to Mr. Field that
he called to find out the facts relative to
the nolle prosequi entered by him on
Thursday last, before Judge Steele, in
several criminal cases. The Attorney
General promptly answered that he was
fully prepared to state the facts, and
most anxious to furnish all the infor-
nation that would be called for. In re-
spouse to an inquiry to that effect he
answered that most all the cases re-
ferred to belonged to what, in criminal
court parlance, is termed the
DEAD DOCKET,
and dated back to the administration of
Attorney General Belden. The indicted
parties had all, at the time, been adj
mitted to bail, their cases fixed, and
then continued for want Of witnesses.
The witnesses being invariably not to
be found when sought for, the Attorney
General felt certain that as matters
stood at present, to secure the con
viction Of those parties was an impossi
bility, and as every time these cases are
fixed the city incurs an expense Of
about fifty dollars for each case to no
purpose, it was thought best to enter
nolle prosequi, and save useless ex-
pense. This course does not
oBsTRUCT JTsTICE,
as the State can, at any time it deems
proper, reinstate these cases. In the
case of w. W. Mccullough and others,
a case resulting from the
wARMoTH-C CARTER WAR,
a nolle prosevui had been entered at the
time before Judge Abel. Lou Dudley's
case was the ony one happening under
his administration that had been nolle
and that because the two
most important witnesses in the case
had disappeared. The Attorney Gen
eral furthermore stated that but two
new criminal cases remained untried,
and that he had secured the cOnUictiOn Of
GO criminals oft Of 70 tried under his dd-
But he added that al
most in every instance Kellogg had seen
fit to pardon these criminals, without
him, and that not one of the
pardons Of Kellogg had been granted
upon an opinion given by him favoring
the same. Far from it, Kellogg had
ever taken good care never to consult
him officially or in writing upon the dis
erection to be exercised in dispensing
executive clemency. Mr.. Field did
not state, but it could easily be implied,
that it was cheaper to nolle pros. cases
than to go to the expense of a trial and
have the Governor pardon Immediately
after conviction.
