THE TALE OF AN OK YoKE.-Uncle
Sol Licklider lives on Jakes Priarie,
and has lived there for the last forty
wears. During the dry seasons We were
so unfortunate - to endure some years
since. Uncle Sol became disgusted with
the ridge, and moved this year into the
valley for the sake of water And this
year he has got enough Of it. During
one Of the fresbets his OK yoke was
carried away. and lodged in the bottoms
below. A ncighbor discovered it and
to prevent j: being still further remov-
I'd. withdrew one of the bows and fast
ened it around q small tree. In bis
searches Uncle Sol came upon the miss
ing property. and was thunderstruck at
what he considered its strange position.

Happy New Years are all very well
10 those who have money and plenty to sell,
Or with plenty Of money to buy,
But for those Of exceedingly limited purse,
Or famine Of stamps" which Is very much
worse,
The happy is "all in your eye"
After all 1t 10 only money makes the
mare go;" without it life, at best, is but q
bitter struggle. Not step do we take, not
8 duty do we perform, not comfort do
we long for, not pleasure do we indulge
in but the ravenous, unsuitable ghost of
"expense" blocks our way, and must be
laid before the first CLEAN Of satisfaction
can be felt. Knowing this, experiencing it
as we all have daily and almost hourly,
ought any legitimate and honest means be
neglected of adding to our store Ought
not every precautiOn be taken, every effort
made, no matter how uncertain; every risk
be essayed that does not materially affect
our fortune to secure this great desider-
atum so fraught with benefit and happi-
nessl Few will decide otherwise than in
favor of these self-eVident propositions.
Admitting this, therefore, ought the great
dollar drawing, with which the Louisiana
State Lottery Company inaugurates the
new year, to be overlooked or neglected I
A scheme so novel in character, so liberal
in tel ms, so we'll adapted to the wants and
necessities of the times, we can not wonder
at its success in the prospective closing out
of the entire stock of tickets long before
the day of drawing. Few can or are dis.
posed to resist the temptation of winning
$4,000 when they can do so by the trifing
expenditure of only 81. Why, it is almost
worth the trial to lose. But then there ia
positive certainty that over 1900 people
will draw handsome prizes-one SIS, 0OO
one $4,000, one $4,000, two $1,000, etc
Hurry mp, then, before it is too late. For
tune never turns back, and only smiles
upon her most ardent wooers. Get your
tickets while there is yet time.

The late James w. Nye,

The death of General James w. Nye, ct
White Plains, Weetchester county, on Mon
day last, will rocall to many the career of a
somewhat remarkable politician. He had
been in public life for more than quarter
of o century, having held the positions of
State legislator. Congressman, Governor of
Nevada, and United States Senator. Nye
was q man gifted with strong qualities; he
was an able debater, an eloquent speaker,
and wit of the very first order. On the
stump, platform and forum he might be
classified with those brilliant, cratic and
picturesque orators, John Randolph, Henry
A. Wise, s. s Prentiss and Tom Marshall.
Nye's character as q man was not up to his
ability. he was not OVer-hOnest, and as q
politician his career is not altogether to be
admired He was SO good fellOw"-gener-
GUS, Open-handed, charitable to others
faults, willing to help q friend. He bore
little malice and was his own worst enemy
If he had had more steadiness and moral
principle he might have ranked as one
of our very first statet men. The coun-
try will soon be flooded with his
quaint, reckless, usually profane and
always witty stories. His bent in this
respect made him one of the most admired
friends and cronies of Abraham Lincoln
and Horace Greeley. His laughable unVe
rAcIty and his genius for cards may have
suggested to Bret HRrte the name of his
famous oriental counter lrrltent, "Btll
Nye" Had General Nye persisted in his
practice at the bar instead OF going into
politics, and devoted his fine talents to the
law, he would have been acknowledged
one of the first lawyers in the United
States. He has the unique credit of aotu.
ally winning case for a railroad company
against q citizen before jury, a feat re-
terred to by Judge c. P, DAILY as almost I'M
preoedented. He was somewhat extraya.
- = IL
ton during the war will be remembered:
"If was President Lincoln l would STUFF
Fort Lafayette 80 full of copperheads that
their arms and legs would stick out the
portfolios" In reporting the utteranee We
have omitted the supeTAuous words which
Nye always considered essential to empha
sis. He has been afflicted for some years
with softeniDg of the brain, and has beer
recently lodged in an insane asylum

THE HOUSE, INVESTIGATING CON.
A1ETTEE.
Seventeenth Day.

NSNO1eDEAha
The Morrison House committee assembled
Q few minutes after eleven O'Clock, vester-
day morning, and began work, there being
present MeesrP. Morrison, jerks and
ToWnsend. 1t was understood that ONLY
witnesses from Concordia parish should be
examined, and tie array of witnesses on
hand indicated that they would take up
nve or SIX hours. These persons from Con
cordia parish testified to what they knew.
ana some Of them to what they did not
know. 1t appears that the Democrats had
no ticket out, but the Republicans were
divided into two factions, the David Young
and the jackson factions. The Republican
divisions were very bitter toward each
other, but it was shown that the David
Young side of the house was victorious.
Mr.. jerks, for the Democratic side of the
committee, pressed the witnesses on several
pointe, the principal one being to prove
that Senator Young had failed to account
for $3l 900 of the public school fund of Con.
cordla parish. He succeeded in showing
that Mr.. Young had been indicted on that
charge and that the accused had never
been tried, because the indictment had been
quashed by the district attorney.
1t was clearly shown that the contest was
entirely between the Republican factions,
and that the few eOlOred men who voted
the Democratic ticket were not molested in
the most distant way.
AS Democrats were not counted in in this
contest in COncOrdia parish, and as their
rights were not invaded by anybody, It is
matter of conjecture as to why thisc ON.
mittee should take so much trouble to ex.
pose the fight between the Young and the
jackson factions, who were contesting for
the possession of a few local offices.
After tedious sitting the committee ad.
1ourned until eleven o'clock this morning.

/ The house subcommittee, composed Of
Messre, New, Bebee and Joyce, concluded
their investigation of the election in this
parish on Thursday 1 light last. The evidence
introduced BY the Democrats was such that
the Republicans declined to call any wit.
nesses, resting their case upon the crose-
examination, which was conducted with
great success by Mr. Joyce, the Republican
member. In every instance, where colOred
men swore that the election had been free
and fair, upon cross examination it was as
certained that they had themselves been
bulldozed, or that it was within their knowl-
edge that large number of cOlored Repub-
licans had been killed, or driven away from
the parish. 1t was evident from the testi.
mOny that some of these Witnesses swore
falsely upon every material point at issue.
will cite few cases:
]. T. Van Tromp thought that there had
been no intimidation practioed to prevent
full and fair expression of the will of the
majority, when, in fact, he was forced
several times to take to the sWRmpe for the
protection of his own life.
j. H. Stephens, colored, swoge that the
election was free and fair, when, in fact, he
told your correspondent that he had to pro
cure several Democratic tickets and scratch
them for colOfed men who wsre afraid to
vote any other but Democratic ticket.
Oscar Mix, colored, swore that there had
been no intimidation or driving away of
eolored men on account of their political
opinion. Mr., Joyce, however, drew it out
of him that several cOlOred men who had
been driven from home had stopped at his
house on their way to POinte COnpee.
During the examination OF witnesses q
dozen or so of bUlldoEers came into the
rooms Of the committee with large revolv-
ers, etc., buckled around their waists. One
Of the Democratic attorneys present de-
clared to them after the committee had left:
Boys, your presence in here with your
pistols has done us more harm than q
whole dozen OF Weber's witnesses would
do before the committee"
II the committees are rs successful in
New Orleans as they were in Bayou Sara,
We venture to say that Hayes sailing from
Columbus to Washington wilt be perfec l 3
easy. Another such investigation and the
rotten hulk of Democracy will tumble
down. J.M.D,
