ANNA DIcKrssON's FUTURE HUSBAND

A letter to the Troy Times says:
The peculiar misfortune of a woman
thus gifted is that she is separated by
her genius from general society.
This is a penalty which all such per-
sons feel keenly. There are few men
who are sufficiently her equals in tai
ent to command respect. Then as for
love matters it may be asked, who is
there that would fall in love with such
lioness Let none envy her that de-
gree Of talent which must cause per-
petual DISSOLUTION. If Miss Dickinson
ever marries it must be an act Of con-
descension Women of talent, when
they take a husband, must view him
as the weaker vessel" Mrs. Sigour.

who ever heard of Sigourney? lie
was merely Hartford carpet dealer,
unknown beyond the limits of the
trade. Jenny Lind threw herself
away upon an inferior fellow, whose
name she has been compelled to wear

The Doylestown Democrat says; "a
few days since Evan Slower, of Valley
Spring, Bucks county, while working
in his mill, noticed that the machinery
was not working as it should do, and
kept getting slower, Finally it almost
stopped. He Immediately proceeded
to investigate the matter and ascertain
the cause. He raised the stones, in
spected the machinery and did other
things without avail. Finally he went
to the water gate and raised it up.
Finding that the water did not flow as
fast as it should, he inserted his arm
into the race, and to his horror pulled
out one of his children aged about
three years. 1t was to all appearances
dead, but as he was carrying it to the
house, its nose began to bleed and the
color came back to its face. The child
was resuscitated and is at present as

How long the little child had been in
the water no one knows.

Another BOOMERANG.

The select committee to investigate the
New Orleans federal offices, have flung an
other boomerang. The last witness was q
Colonel Price, of Kentucky, who came to
complain that he had shipped lot Of whisky
to New Orleans, and while in bond there in
the possession of the collector it was lost,
aud he was several thousand dollars out.
Here was another serious case of malfeas-
ance in Office Here was the brother-in-law
of the President caught in the act of thiev-
ing whisky from the taxpayers of the gov
ernment. The Democrats were in hopes
they might catch the President in it, and
went on to question the witness, who stated
that he had Sued the collector under his bond
for the value of the whisky, but could re-
cover nothing. The bond was worthless.
Mr.. Darrall, Republican of the commit
tee, asked when this occurred. Witness
answered, some ten years ago. Who was
collector! General James B. Steadmap,
under Johnson's administration. Mr. Oar.
rail- asked what had become of the money
Witness replied that he understood that it
was used to carry the Democratic cOnven-
ton for Seymour and Blair. The committee
were very much Disguised, and declined to
examine the witness further. The commit
tee have agreed to meet in New Orleans on
the twentieth, but they are not expecting te
make out as much as they at first supposed
and are hesitating about going Washing

Political Conference of the Eminent Dis

New YORK, May 15-The presidential
conference assembled, to-day at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel pursuant to the call issued
by William Cullen Bryant, Theodore d.
Wolsey, A. H. Bullock, Horace White and
Carl Schurz: About 300. delegates were
present. Secretary Lodge called the meet
lg to order and read the call of Theodore
D. Wolsey, president, who said that for
eight or ten years past the country was
growing politically worse. Leading and
strong men of the Republican party had
made the country blush with shame, aud
now this meeting was called to decide what
was best to be done to remedy matters.
Carl Schurz thanked the audience for
such large attendance. 1t was good
sign when the men came forward and
showed their political independence; that
every citizen should see that the party hs
belonged to is good one. None have been

it is owing to the vast quantity of mud or

to promote and further the general inter
ests of the country.
On motion of Mr.. SchQrz, Park Goodwin,
Judge L. S. Foster, of Connecticut; John

mite plan of action, and take such other
measures as may be deemed necessary.

Correspondence of the Republican.

Correspondence of the Republican,
Some of the Blessings of Civilization
More Immlgrants Wanted in Avoy.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Mr.. Avit Ducote, of Cottonport, mem
ber of one of the largest ana most respect
able families in the parish of -Avoyelles,
was killed on Thursday. the fourth of May
last in the town of Evergreen, parish Of
Avoyelles, by Chester Duval, for the high
crime and misdemeanor of being Repub.
lican. This is somewhat similar case to
the killing of Pierson at Natchitoches.
The late Avit Ducote had made himself
peculiarly obnoxious to the White League
Of this parish by the stand he took in faAten-
ing the theft of the ballot box at E vergreen
on the White League in 1874, and there is
no doubt that his death was planned and
fixed upon at that time, but owing to the
acknowledged bravery of Mr.. Ducote there
has been some delay in carrying out the
killing. Avit Ducote was brother to the
Republican parish Judge of Avoyelles.
Evergreen enjoys most unenviabIe repu-
tation. Within q very short time at least
one dozen murders have been perpetrated
in that little burg, mostly negroes. and no
one punished. The son of leading mer-
chant cooIly killed two colored men with
ou. any provocatiop, and he has never un-
dergone even the formality of trial, and
M one knows the time that he may imbrue
his hands in some poor negro's blood, - he
feels sure that he does not incur any risk in
doing 90. 1t is the boast Of Evergreen that
M white man can avow himself Repub-
ican and live in that region. 1t would be
at the risk of his life. Every man goes
armed to the teeth, even to church:

Lawlessness and Crime in East Baton
Rouge.
> From a strictly neliabls informant the
following statement is obtained of recent
operations of the outlaws in the parish of
East Baton Rouge:
Archie Stewart, white planter, living
about fourteen miles from the city of Baton
Rouge, was killed, May 8, by party of un.
known assaesins. His body was filled with
bullets and dragged to his residence and
laid on his IAN gallery. His offense was
his pronounced opposition to the White
League.
On Thursday last man named Haney. a
colored school teacher, who lived about tif-
teen miles from the city of Baton Rouge.
was sitting in his doorway, when about
twenty masked men rode up. put rope
about his neck and hung him TO tree about
thirty yards from his cabin.
One day last week a cOlOred man, name
unknown, was killed on the plank road.
about ten miles from the city, by masked
men.

The Texas Pacific and North Louisiana

The Texas Pacific and North Louisiana.
We find the following special dispatch in
the New Orleans Times under date of Wash
ington, May G., 1876:
The Texas Pacific Railroad Company has
decided to resume work Immediately. They
have bought Il, 900 tons Of iron aad will
put 1000 men at work. B.
This is certainly good news. and viii be SO
received throughout this section. Taken in
connection with the press dispatch from

L. Smith, of this city. as saying that the
Senate and House committees on railroads
had agreed to report the eastern terminus
of the Texas Pacific shall be at Vicksburg.
or that the North Louisiana railroad shall
he subsidized by the government as the
Vicksburg branch Of the Texas Pacific, its
Importance and interest is greatly in-
creased 1t would be greatly deplored if
BILE than the facts in the case actually
Justify. The progress of this great
work, in which the people of the ma
ton are SO deeply interested, has
been too long retarded by the wealthy
corporations of the other Pacific roads, who
know that the Southern route, when COM
pleted, will become the highway Of travel
and commerce, and the government. has
been tardy in extending aid and encourage
people that the Texas and Pacific bill should
be passed by Congress, although we have
no idea it will be done during the present
session. l: is gratifying, however. to know
the committees of both houses have agreed
upon the matter, and will make the recon-
mendation above indicated. The recon-
mencement of work upon the main line will
have most salutary effect upon the coun-
try, and quicken the spirit of the trade into
renewed activity. 1t will also, we hope,
influence other corporations and capitalists
to take hold of other proposed lines OF road
looking to Shreveport as an objective point,
the North Louisiana, the South western and
Rio Graz nde, and one to Hopes station in
Arkansas. These roads will al have TO
be built sooner or later, and whenever Con-
gress acts upon the Texas Pacific bill they
will at Cnce be taken up. In the meantime
il behocves all our citizens who want to see
railroads and manufactures built and i'm.
migration come among US, to trGwn
down all lawlessness, suppress all violence,
prescription and ostracism, and incuicate
that spirit of conservative liberalism, which
certainly can not fail to be attended by
most gratifying and beneficial results.
Much credit is due to Hon. George L. Smith
for his efforts in behalf of our railroad en-
terprises, and we shall be very much sur
prised on the organization OF the North
Louisiana Railroad Company if he is not
placed at it's head as president. The incor-
cOrporatOrs here are, We believe, unanimous
in his favor His election would insure q
vigorous and intelligent management OF the
affairs of the company, and inspire conf
dence at home and abroad.-ShresepOrt

Late Sunday night the jury in TINS case
sent word to Judge Woods that they nsd
agreed on q verdict. Judge Woods there
unon onened court and caused the jury to
he brought in. He then asked the foreman
the usual question if they had agreed on
verdict. He answered yes, and was about
to hand the indictment to the court, when
he was asked what the verdict was. He
answered guilty, and said few words in
lower tone that sounded like "all but one
man." The court asked what the foreman
had said. 1t was repeated. "All but one
man."
The court asked which one OF the defend
ants The foreman pointed to the iuryman
Briugier, and said "All but that man." This
astonished every one, and none more than
Judge Woods. He reprimanded them for
their conduct in stating they had agreed
when they had not done go. 1t WAS almost
contempt Of court. Under ordinary cir
cumstances he would discharge them, but
he did not think they should be discharged,
and he sent them back to their room.
1t was evident that Judge Woods was
very indignant, and appeared to think the
disagreement not an honest one. Last
night he waited till eleven O'CLOCK for them
but there was no sign Of an agreement

This is what l consider as reliable, as to
the result of Saturday nights doings:
Eight colored men have been shot dead
and four hanged. About twenty were

blacks killed, but this statement consider
as exaggerated.
Twenty colored men are reported to be
held as prisoners. Their fate is uncertain,
but the supposition is they will be killed;
also, that the number of killed negroes will
never be ascertained, precautions having
been taken to remove the dead secretly.
The number Of regulators under arms ia
