New Orleans Democrat: There is no end
to the jcalousies and entanglemcnts produced
by the Russian-TurRsh war Austria is not
pleased with the British Government for its
apparent acquiesence In the independence OF
Roumania. which, under the circumstances
is equivalent to the establishment of a Russian
German Sclavic kingdom on her borders. and
asks for explanations, which the British min
is,ry is embarrassed to give. France. too. is
not content with the condition and the rca
lions which England assumes toward Egypt
and the Suez Canal. Her capitalists claim a
dominant interest in that great work, and
suspect England of trying to dslodge them
through pretenses Of extending her protection
10 Egypt. Altogether Great Britain has been
involved in an awful middle, and her people
are in mighty lerment. We hoped that our
Government at least would be left free from
any involvement by this conflict of two such
remote nations. Bnt il seems we Were disap.
pointed, for now comes the Porte with ffowns
and mutterings against the United States for
permitting the Russian fleet 10 conceal itself
and lie pcrdn in one of our harbors with the
purpose of pouncing upon the merchants en-
gagged in transporting arms and munitions
from American to Turkish ports. Surely, if
this war continues, it will involve all the
civilized nations of the world.

NOTHING BUT LEAVES.

Nothing but leaves; the spirit grieves
Over wasted life;
Sin committed while conscience slept,
Promises made but never kept,
Hatred, battle and strife
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves-no garnered sheaves
Our lifes fair ripening grain
Words, idle words for earnest deeds
We sow our seeds-lo! tares and weeds
We reap with toll and pain
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves--memory weaves
No veil TO screen the past
As we retrace our weary way,
Counting each lost and misspent day,
We sadly find at last
Nothing but leaves.
And shall we meet the Master so,
Bearing our withered leaves!
The Savior looks for perfect fruit
We stand before him humbled. mute,
Waiting the word he breathes-
Nothing but leaves.

4 BONANZA OF Il STEAL.
Tax Collector Lanier Robbed of Sl3,8C0.

The train over the Jackson road. arriving
here on Saturday morning al 6 o'clock, broagal
among Its passengers Mr.. b. Ii. Lanier. late
Tax Collector Of Carroll parish. Immediate
ly upon his arrival here Mr. Lanier reported
to Chief Boylan that he had been robbed OF
a package of money containing Sl3,S00-iax
funds, which he purposed turning owe. to the
State-and that the robbery had been COM
mittcd on board the sleeping car in which he
rode from Jackson, Miss, to New Orleans
Mr.. Lanier stated that when he retired he
placed the package IN pocket inside his
vest in which he slept-and that upon awak-
ing al about 8 O'Clock Saturday morning, he
found his vest pocket cu' and the package
gone. To this time, nothing more has been
learned touching the case, although the detec-
tives have been engaged in working up ia .
matter stree yesterday morning -Ner Or
leans Time.
As the detectives are working up the above
case, we will try TO throw little light on it
tor their benefit. When Mr. Lanier reached
this city on his way to New Orleans, he went
to one of our merchants and asked him 10
take charge of package which was SAID TO
contain fourteen thousand dollars The mer>
| chant did not want to take any such charge,
and asked Lanier to 90 down TO the bank and
buy exchange on New Orleans, and thus
relieve himself of all risk. One of the clerk.
of the house went down TO the Wick sburg
Bank and the Bank offered to give him ex-
change on New Orleans at par, as at the time
the Bank wished to move some currency from
New Orleans. Lanier first agreed to the
proposition, but welt off and never came
back, and never showed any money. Why
he did not transport the money by exchange
when he could have done so for nothing, is a
nut we leave for the detectives to crack; it is
too hard for us.-Tcks6mrg Herald
And we would remind the detectives that,
as editor Of the True Republican, Mr.. Lanier
positively asserted that he would not turn
over to his successor any of the books and
rolls of the office, and that the Nichols State
Government would never get any of the
money he had collected, if we are not mis-
taken.

A Washington telegram of the 18th
inst. says: 1.-THE President was at the
capitol two hours to-day urging action
upon the bill carrying into effect the
treaty with the Sioux Indians for the
cession of Northern Wyoming and the
Black Hills of Dakota. He presented
to members of Congress the necessity
to have the matter finally adjusted, as
emigration to the country covered by
the treaty would be very great this
summer
For thus laboring for their interests
the people Of Wyoming and the Black
Hills extend to President Grant most
cordial thanks. 1t is certainly very
gratifying to our frontiersmen to know,
that in the very midst of the most ex-
citing political agitation which has ever
been had in this country, and which has
wholly absorbed the attention of our
public men, the chief magistrate of the
nation took this extraordinary course,
and thus threw his powerful influence
in favor of the hardy pioneers of the
West.

THE INVESTIGATION.
Hewitt Testihes.

Washington, Feb. ia. S. Hewitt,
chairman of the National Democratic
committee, gave the following testi-
mony before the Senate committee on
privileges and elections this morning:
He had charge of the national cam
paign and the organization of the DEM
ocratic party in the different states;
Edward Cooper, son of Peter Cooper,
was treasurer of the executive commit
tee, and kept his accounts at the
Seventh Ward bank, New York City,
in his own name; witness directed how
the money in the hands of the treasurer
should be spent, Col. Pelton having
nothing to do with it; he never made
any attempt to raise funds beyond ask
ing certain parties who he thought
would be willing to contribute; knew
nothing whatever about the kilograms
which Pelton sent to Oregon; never
sent cipher telegram during the whole
campaign; did however send three or
four regular kilograms to Oregon during
the contest, in one of which, dated
Nov. Is, 1876, he, after receiving a
legal decision to that effect from Judge
Hoadley, of Cincinnati, told Senator
Kelly that no person holding office un-
der the Federal government was eli
gible as an elector, and that the can
vassing officer should so decide; refer
ring again to the cipher, he said he had
never used it but had seen Col. Pelton
use it; has a copy of the key to it and
will turn it over to the committee to-
morrow if they desire; had never seen
any of the cipher kilograms sent to or
received from Oregon at the Demo-
cratic headquarters in New York.

NEW YORK.
The Herald on the Situation.

New York, Feb. 19.-The Herald
says that no serious resistance will be
made to the completion of the count
and the Inauguration of Hayes, because
it is now manifest that such an attempt
would not only fail of it's object, but
would split and destroy the Democratic
party. Most of the great sections of
the country will be quite satisfied with
this result of the Presidential election.
The great section which had the most
reason for dissatisfaction, whose wishes
have been thwarted and its electoral
votes nullifed, is foremost in counsel
ling patriotic submission. The south
sets its face against filibustering or
factions opposition and counsels its
Democratic brothers to give President
Hayes fair trial. If the Democrats
will rise above the heated political at
mosphere of Washington and cast their
eyes over the whole country, they will
look in vain for any section that will
refuse to recognize Hayes as the lawful
President of the United States.

Heedine a ponkey,s Bray.

Washington, Feb. 9.-This forenoon
the President was visited by the Attor-
ney General, Secretary of War and Sec
retary of State, and attention given,
among other things, to the condition of
affairs in Louisiana, and also to an ar
ticle in the Sunday Capital, of this city,
edited by Don Piatt, which was inter-
preted by the government officers as
strongly advocating violence and def
ance of law, and as such was given very
serious attention. Subsequent to the
interview of the Attorney General with
the President, Judge Taft sent for U.
s. Attorney Wells, of this district, with
whom he was in long and earnest con-
sultation in reference to the same news
paper article. The statutes were close
ly examined, and notes made of the
law which, it was considered, attaches
criminal intent to such articles. Sub
sequently Judge Taft and District At
torney Wells were in consultation with
the President in continuance of the
same topics.
