THE latest crop reports from Great
Britain promise anything but a favorable
prospect for farmers. In every part OF
the country it is exceptionally late. In
some places. notably i'll the north of Scot

tious nature of the weather has. been so
marked that u parallel can not be found

New York, or rather a fresh eruption of
all old quarrel. The nominal issue is
whether the present Democratic state Oh

the Albany Journal says the real ques-

SENATE BILLS.
Mr.. Bowden, of Franklin, called up
Senate bill t6s. to reorganize police
juries in tho country parishes. with
parochial Affairs.
Mr.. VOORHEES,, OF Orleans, wished to
amend the section authorizing the Gov
ernor TO appoint Eve additional police
Jurors in every parish OF the State by
providing in effect for the wiping out OF
all the police Jurors in the State, and
authorizing the Governor TO make new
appointments of five police jurors In
each parish,
Mr.. VOORHEES, made a forcible argu-
tnent In favor of his amendment, saying
that the peculiar circumstances under
which we are situated made 1t necessary
that the amendment should be adopted.
We were threatened with an evil which
must be taken at the root. In twelve
or fifteen parishes there was trouble
ahead which should be arrested, not
that the people OF those. parishes were
tnimioal to us, but that some In
diyiduals were. Therefore Q radi.
cal change In the composition of
the police iuries should be made,
and persons appointed, regardless of
parties, who would recognize the
Nichols government, and who would
not interfere with the collection OF the
taxes as had already been done and
which had neeessitated q bill requiring
the tax collectors to qualify with the
Auditor OF the State. Gentlemen from
the parishes in which no diffiou lilies
could arise need have no apprehen-
sions in this matter. for the Governor
would beyond doubt reappoint the police
Jurors now in office in those parishes.
As to the power of the Legislature TO
pass this law there was no question, and
the Supreme Court had time and again
decided that 1t was lawful.

4 Phantom Performances.

Before the close Of the Varieties The
atre there were some differences be-
tween the management and the troupe,
which eliminated In the dissolution Of
the contracts with the company and q
compromise, by which the actors agreed
to cancel oil scores on the receipt of
two weeks salary In advance.
This agreement was fully carried out,
but the terms were not agreeable to the
members OF the orchestra, whose con-
tract ran to the end Of the theatrical
season. They refused to join In the
compromise and threatened suit.
And now comes the peculiar part Of
this affair. In order to hold the theatre
for the sum agreed upon for the full
term, they determined to put the man.
agement in default and to go on with
the performance OF their obligations,
play or no play. SO they accordingly
took their places Tuesday evening, not.

was closed. Riddles were tuned up, the
basoon wiped off, and promptly at the
hour brilliant overture was struck up
to q phantom house. Only the ghosts
Of former spectators listened to the
music. The darkness In the galleries
was black, the dress circle looked like
deserted churchyard, and only the
misty outlines Of the landscape on the
curtain could be distinguished In the
dim light.
After the overture the intermissions
were duly performed, and this most re-
markable performance was brought to

BREVITIES.

Ex-Gov. Warmoth, who has just re-
turned from Washington, says that the
President has studiously refrained
from expressing himself outside con-
corning his policy. From his language
it would be inferred that he had not as
yet made up his mind entirely to his
own satisfaction, and that he would
await the inquiry Of the special COM
mission.

kin-returned to the city Wednesday on

AN Ex-UNITED STATES COMMISSION
ER UNHAPPY.

III. N. Frisble before the First Municipal
Police Court ON q Charge of Efnsez-
| element.
Fl. n. Frisbie, an ex-United States
Commissioner, Is in the meshes Of the
law, and +. 9. Mahan put him there.
Mahan, on the Sd day OF March, ap-
peared before Juage Kleinpeter, of the
First Municipal Police Court, and swore
out the following affidavit:
T. @. Mahan being duly sworn, doth
depose and say that, on January 8, 1877,
the National Metropolitan Bank, at
Washington, D. O., issued draft No.
5oo1, drawn on the National Park Bank
and made payable to the order OF affiant
for the sum Of $500 &C, which came in
the possession Of one Ell. N. Frisoie,
who held the same for and as the prop
erty of aflant.
That on the 18th day Of January, be-
tween the hours Of and - o'clock, at
No. SO Camp street, in the First District
Of the city Of New Orleans and within
the jurisdiction Of this State, at which
time and place affiant demanded said
draft, or check, from said Frisbie, who
refused and still refuses to deliver up
the same, with intent to defraud af1iant.
ATherefore affiant charges the accused
with embezzlement and breach Of trust.
The case came UP for examination to-
day before Judge Kleinpeter, and the
evidence went to show that the accused
received the draft legitimately, but that
he retained it with the intention to
swindle.
From the evidence Of Mr.. Mahan it
was showed that Frisbie was to receive
some forty odd dollars for his trouble,
but that he claimed three hundred and
odd dollars for his services. This the
affiiant refused to pay.
The evidence being very strong
against the accused, and after hearing
argument from both sides, the Judge
took the case under advisement.

After q Newspaper.

Camp street was enlivened Wednes-
day morning by a woman dressed in
black, who was making inquiry for the
Times Office. After some meanderlng
she at last found it, and in a very Vio-
lent way rushed up stairs to annihilate
editors, reporters, ETC., with her para
sol. It appears the Times very justly
condemned the carelessness in some
residence where there had been small
box and the little precaution
taken to prevent the spread OF the
disease. This hurt the feelings Of the
individual referred to, and she started
out on q bellicose expedition.
In the office it was at once seen that
the woman was not then in the full pos
session Of her faculties, and before she
could carry out her design sic vas es-
corted down stairs, where she went INTO
mysteries. II was afterwards learned
that she had been an inmate OF the In
sane Asylum.

nothing less than Professor Vineyards
''NAMEIEss FORCE"
upon which he has bestowed 35 much
care and labor for several years past.
Professor Wingard resides at No. 47oa
Annunciation street, near Sorapuru,
where the object of his solicitude and
the great problem OF the age, just com.
pleted, was slowed In trunk In one OF
the ground floor rooms Of the building.
Tuesday night,
ABOUT ELEVEN O'CLOCK,
a knock at the DOCTORS door awoke
him, and be found that he was sum
moned to the siok.bed of patient.
Returning at ten minutes past twelve,
the doctor was surprised TO find his
door, which he had carefully locked
before leaving, wide open, and his hor-
ror became indescribable when he dis.
covered that the trunk,
Six BY -FOUR,
which contained his Nameless Force
had been carried away. Inquiry of the
people in the house revealed nothing
further than that they heard some noise
In the room where the trunk was kept,
but IL was believed 1t was created by
che Professor himself. Up to the hour
of writing, the most diiigent search has
failed to give clue to the perpetrators
OF this
NAMELEss DEED,
for there must have been four or five
thieves engaged In the robbery, owing
to the weight Of the apparatus. which
was completed at an expense OF four
dollars.
There can be only one surmise rs to
the guilty parties, and that is that they
must have been some OF
pAoKARD's EMIssARIEs,
seeking to secure something by which
they might practically prove the decla-
ration contained In their unanimously
adopted resolution, regarding their abil-
Ity to sustain themselves without the
aid Of the Federal troops.

Of negroes that had gathered there, in

to obey the order these, gentlemen re-
