POLITICAL TALK.
AT THE STATE. HOUSE

AT THE STATE HOUSE
Friday morning very little was stirring.
The meeting of the Senate in extra session
apparently interested only the Senators them
selves and some persons holding commissions
which needed confirmation.
The room of
THE SERGEANT ALARMS OF THE HOUSE
was the livsliest place about the building.
Capt Ed. Flood, Chief Sergeant-at-Arms,
and his assistants, were busily engaged in COL
Letting and depositing in secure place all the
House property, and there was considerable
Of it lying around loose.
By the Conservatives it is commended, and
by the Republicans it is conceded. that since
cnti-Jellum times. the Sergeant-at.A Arms office
has never been better nor more economically
managed than it has been under Capt Flood.
The Conservatives will meet in caucus to-
day at 10 o'clock, at the State-Hou
The Governor yes .erday signed the bill au-
thorizing an election in the different parishes

FRANK MAYO" DdUy Crockett Our thea
ter-goers, VINO are always prompt in paying
tribute to histrionic genius, will no doubt be
pleased to learn that Mr.. Frank Mayo, with
his talented company, will open here to-mor-
row Sunday night 5th inst, in the beautiful
fveact drama of " Davy Crockett" Mr.. Mayo
and his present company have been playing
this piece nightly in the various large cities
during the entire season; hence, having
played the piece SO often, all are thoroughly
familiar with their parts. and everything pro-
crosses smoothly and satisfactorily. The
principal attraction, however, is the beautiful
and accomplished lady who personates the
leading character in the piece, Miss Josephine
Laurens. She is lady whom our citizens
should feel proud to honor, having been born
and to considerable extent raised in our Sis
ter city of Mobile. She is the daughter of
Capt. A. B. Shropshire, an old steamboat cap
tain, who, for years before, during and since
the war, was captain of some of the finest
boats on the Alabama River.
In speaking of Miss Laurens, the Savannah
(Ga) Neacs Of February "a, says:
The heroine, Miss Josephine Laurens, as
Eleanor Vaughn, won all hearts at once by
her artless manner and perfect acting per-
sonating the character with fidelity that
stamped her as a lady of brillian. genius and
as hard student"

-. In reference to a complaint which was
made in this column about the prices charged
for supper at the Rex ball we find, on inves-
tigatiop, that there were not the slightest
grounds therefor. The trouble seems to
have been that the party of five who thought
they were charged five dollars for ice cream
and coffee, were really charged the usual
entrance fee, 81 each, and might have had for
that sum quite q sumptuous supper, as the
handsome bill of fare which was used on the
occ ,sion, and which has been shown Us by
R chelieu, the caterer for Rex, amply shows.
In looking over that bill of fare the only
wonder is how Richelieu conld have afforded
to give so many and such choice viands for so
little money.

More Indictments by the Grand
Jury.
An Investigation of the Bankrupt
Court.

The relaxation incident to the Carnival has
now given place to unusual energy on the part
of internal revenue ficials, and Friday morn
ing there were many evidences of heavy work
around the Grand Jury room of the United
States Circuit Court.
Several important witnesses in the whisky
business have arrived from the North, and
during the morning session of inquisitors
they were before them.
short time after the opening of court the
jury returned to the judge with an indictment
against, it is said, prominent dealer in
liquor here. From what could be picked up
in the old granite building 1t is very probable
that before night several other indictments
will be brought in.
Attending the Court Friday morning there
we're some forty witnesses awaiting to be called
before the Grand Jury in the case, it is said,
against Col E. E. Norton, for Encouragement
of funds during his official career as Assignee
of the Bankrupt Court. The rumor produced
not little excitement, and it was next to inn
possible to CLEAN anything accurate from the
sensational stories IN circulation.
Gen. Brady has not, as yet. received any
off cial news of his removal to Indiana, and he
can not understand the press dispatches to
the effect that it was some days ago fat &C.
compH.
1t begins to loom up to the observant eye
that tho chaotic eruptiona going on now IN
Washington will have a wonderful effect in
this city 80 far as the whisky crusade is CON-
cerned. The removal of Supervisor Brady
can NOT mean anything else than that the au-
thorities at the capital desire quietus put
upon any further investigation of the crooked
down here. Whether the Belknap scandal
has anything to do with this or not we can
not say but the fact is patent now, as We
several days ago prognosticated, the govern
ment Will not dare to push their investigations
further here. Scattering grape shot hit many
behind trees and the President evidently
wants lis pards to escape.
