whitman Magins ID. ath.

On Saturday afternoon, Coroner Rose,
drove down to Kirkwood, for the purpose
of holding an inquest over the body of
William AIagins, who died suddenly at
that place on Friday afternoon last. After
the Coroner found that DR.. Veasey, had
already given certificate of burial, al
though he was not present at the time of
Mr.. Magin's death. The Coroner also
found Mrs. Magins lying at the point of
death owing to the great shock of her
husbands sudden death, and upon the re-
quest of the family and the immediate
friends he concluded to not hold an i'll
quest. The circumstances of his death
were about as follows: Mr.. Magins had
been sick for about two weeks although
confined o.he house, he was net be d fast
feeling much better on Friday afternoon
left his residence (situated a short dis
tance from the .station) and walked over
to the station, and just as he got inside the
building feel to the floor and expired in a
few moments. Mr.. Magins had been in
the employ Of the railroad company for a
number of years, and was very highly re-
spected by those who knew him. His
remains will be inferred tomorrow. The
cause of his death is supposed to be heart
disease.

The Hayes leaders are certainly getting
rats in their upper story. The yeraclous
ing Post on Saturday pretended to an
nounce what Ferry will do. And our
own information this morning, on the
whole gives some color to the story. The
substance of it is, that if the two houses
authorize him to preside overt them when
assembled to inspect and count the cleo
toral votes, he will preside. He willnot
decline or refuse to preside. If they en-
power him to do particular thing, he
will do that thing. If the two houses
suppress him altogether, and elect an i'm
partial member to be the presiding officer
he will discharge his constitutional func-
ton of opening the certificates and then
retire. But what then comes of his pre-
tended constitutional power, right and
obligation to alone and exclusively verify
test and count the votes? All is dormant
says Ferry, unless the two houses fail to
agree, and if they fail to agree on a rule,
then he win step in and manage the
whole business. Who ever thought to
see, IN 1877 so many candidates for Bed

LOUISIANA'S LAST EFFORT TO
ESCAPE FROM TT.

RADICAL TINkERING WITH THE NEW Or
LEANS COURTS.
NEW ORLEANS, January 3.-Prominent
citizens of this city have entered ardent
~ into the wo-k of resisting Packard and
supporting Nicholls,in quiet and peace
ful way. A paper has been circulated and
numerously signed which pledges the
subscribers to pay per cent. of the State
tax for the ensuing year in advance, and
this course will be followed throughout
the State. The President of the COM
mittee is Mr.. Thomas Adams, President
OF the Board of Underwriters. He is as
sisted by all the prominent bankers. in
surance presidents and merchants of the
city.
AT noon to-day the Senate and House
of theEicholls Government met in Joint
session to count the vote for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor. Committees
OF three from the Senate and five from
the House were appointed to count the
vote. They made report giving to the
Nichols ticket 81, ,437 votes to 76,477 for
Packard.
Committees were appointed by both
houses to make the necessary arrange
ments for the Inauguration of Governor
Nichols next Monday, but kellogg says
that all hi can't keep Packard from be
ing Governor.
The negroes in the Kellogg Legislature
don't seem to worry themselves much
about the matter. They trust blindly in
their white leaders, doing what they are
told, without having any idea Of what is
to be attained. They are very much en-
gagged at present in trying to make the
most of the-~Senatorial contest. They
hopefully expect to make enough out of
1t to pay their expenses and have bal
ance left over, as each of the three con-
testants for the long term-Kellogg,W West
and Warmoth-are understood to be paw
ing literally for votes. The most prom
inent white men in this body are War
moth, Hahn, Mcmillan and Leonard.
Hahn is the Speaker. He is man of lit
tie dignity. He holds the gravel in one
hand and clumsy wooden crutch in the
other. Prominent in Radical politics for
number OF years, he has acquired n
very good standing in his party, as much
from an ability to hide his tracks as from
any other cause. He has been elected
Speaker as q reward for his services dur
ing the last campaign in the capacity of
Chief Supervisor of Registration. He
conducted and directed the vast schemes
OF fraud that were discovered in registra-
ton, by which negro vote of IL, 900 was
increased to 22,000.
Four companies of the Third Artillery
are under marching orders and will leave

permits. 1t is reported that all troops
now here, will soon follow, except the
