A sLAvONIC MANIFESTO.
The People Of Russia Demand n Change
i'm the Manner In which the
war IL Conducted.

NEW YonK, Sept. 5.-The World has re-
celved highly interesting document, which
casts quite u new light on the probable re-
suits Of the present war and Its bearing on
Is a memoir forwarded by the Moscow slav
committee to the Czarowitch, after the first
checks experienced by the Russian army The
leading thought of this remarkable address,
presented to the Grand Duke by the presi-
Slav democratic. party, Ivan Aksakof1, Is that
neither the Russian army nor the Russian
nation Is at present In fit condition
to solve the great question for which they
are fighting. The army Is headed by ignor-
positions they occupy, not by their talents
and services but by birthright or protection.
The nation cannot bring liberty and freedom
TO others while 1t is treated with indifference
and contempt by It's own government. Civ
ing freely and generously It's blood and It's
fortune for the great national cause, the Rus
sian people have right to ask that all it's
efforts should not be paralyzed by the In
capacity of those who have undertaken to
represent It. Consequently the committee
considers the following measures to be indis-
pensable for accomplishing the mission Rus
sia has undertaken.
1. The command Of the army must be
transferred to one of those generals who
have actually shown their ability during the
present war, without any consideration as to
their rank or social position.
2. An important change must be wrought
In the higher circles Of the Russian diploma
tic corps; for the latter, in its present state
hates much more the Slavs than the Turks,
Justly fearing that the freedom Of the former
might put an end to the absolute government
system, the humble servant Of which diplo-
macy has ever been. This is u thrust against
Prince Gortschakoff and plea In favor Of
Gen. Tgnatietf.
g. Considering the new sacrifices imposed
upon the nation by the unfavorable turn the
military operations have taken, a national
assembly consisting Of representatives Of
provincial assemblies, must be convoked,
with political and Legislative rights equal to
those OF the council of state.
4. The imperial guards, whose presence in
the capital at the present moment Is consid-
cred to be threat against the nation, are to
be called out to the seat of war.
8. A national militia, with elected officers,
is to take the place of the regular army IN
all the different branches of the home SER
vice.
The fact that such an address has been ac-
tually presented to- the son OF the Gar, and
that the authors thereof were not prosecuted,
is highly significant of the present state Of
the public mind in Russia.

The Writ Of Habeas Corpus Made Abs0-
lutte by Judge Rightor.
Judge Rightor took the bench Saturday morn

counsel. The judge then read the following rea-
sons for judgment:
In virtue of article SO OF the constitution the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth District Courts are vested
with exclusive jurisdiction in all civil cases ex-
cept probate, whom the sum In contest 10 above

his appearance before the Superior Criminal
Court, was rearrested on substantially the same
charge by order OF the same court (Reoorder OF
the First District), committed to the Parish
Prison, whore he is now in keeping. The court
thinks that when the recorder required and
obtained from the prisoner q bond for his
appearance before the Superior Criminal Court
he exhausted his jurisdiction, and the prisoner
was at liberty Under said bond until otherwise
ordered by the judge OF the court before which
he was sent to answer; otherwise parties might
be harassed and prosecuted by repeated arrests
upon the same charge, an abuse which the law
abhors. This principle has received q very recent
sanction from our own Supreme Court In the

CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.

An Interesting Case Yesterday Before
Magistrate Holmes.
A few days ago young woman named Martha
Joiner was induced to go into the First Municipal
Police Cotirt and swear out an affidavit charging
Mr.. w. D. Henry with bigamy.
The accused was arrested and WAS yesterday
before Acting Judge Holmes on q preliminary
examination.
The prosecuting witness on taking the stand
testified that on the 25th day Of August, 1876,
between the hours Of 8 and 10 o'clock In the
morning, she was lawfully married to VI. f.
Henry in the First Municipal Police Court, by
Judge W. L. Evans, or . man that looked like
him, and gave a description OF the man whom
she alleged, married her, which
ANSWERED. THAT OF JUDGE EVANS.
Several other witnesses for the prosecution
were placed on the stand, but not one Of them
testified that they were present ut the union In
matrmony OF the accused and prosecutor. Then
came the witnesses for the defense. One or them
was identified by the prosecutor as having been
present at the marriage, but the witness denied,
under oath, that he WIS present at any such
ceremony.
Judge Evans would have been witness in the
case, but was absent from the city.
AS this controversy gave rise to considerable
scandal, the idle and the curious crowded the
courtroom TO listen to the testimony and scan
the prosecutor, a. she was an interesting girl Of
nineteen.
After all the testimony had been taken, the
attorney for the prosecution made o lengthy
gument, and in his remarks he said that his
client was young and had u
CHARACTER TO PROTECT,
and he hoped that the mind OF The court had
been impressed with the importance OF protect
ing young girls future, and asked that the &C
cused be sent before the Superior Criminal
Court.
Mr.. Dalsbeimer, the attorney for the DEFENSE
followed the attorney for the prosecution, and his
remarks were cutting and to the point, he de-
plored the sad fate and false light that so young
woman bad been place in, but she had allowed
herself to bs led astray by an arch traitoress Of
her kind until now, she found herself like .
SHIP In MID OCEAN
without mast, sails or rudder.
The arch traitoreas alluded to WAS Mrs. Lem
mon, who appeared to have prevailed upon the
young woman TO swear to an affidavit that sho
could not substsntiate After the arguments
were clt sed, acting Judge Holmes said that the
pr osecution had failed TO make out q case, and
honorably discharged MIR. Henry.

ment before the Council.
On the motion there was long argument,
Messrs. Singleton and Lancaster representing
Mr.. MoOaffrey, and D. O. Zacharie, Esq, for Ad-
ministrator Oavanac.
The question raised was, whether on the face
OF the petition the injunction could be set aside.
Judge Monroe, after hearing the case, said that
as the rule brought up mixed questions OF law
vacation. In those cases where the rule to set
aside writ involved only pure questions OF law,
and where the whole petition was taken 40 ad-
mittod II could be tried in vacation, but only such
cases. He therefore ordered the rule to be set
aside.

Regarding the proposed match for the single
soul shell, offered as prize by the New Orleans
City Railroad Company, we have heard but ono
expression, that it should be rowed on the lake
on the course Of che late rowing regatta. The
course affords all the advantages that can be
found on the river or in the New canal, and offers
none OF lite Inconvenience. Should there be
three or more entries for tho race IL is evident
that the New canal is too narrow for fair show
OF speed and unpleasant accidents may oceur
from the want OF room. Nothing should mar the
sport. With the pavilion constructed by the rail-
road company and the jetties, each Of which can
accommodate thousands Of spectators, there can
possibly be no objection TO the rowing course 40
that on which the match should be rowed.

AMUsENI ENTs.
The D'AGuin-JOubert Concert.

1t must have been very gratifying to Messrs.
Joubert and D'Aquin and their devoted friends
10 find that kind public had so literally an
swered their invitation to meet them at the
Opera House last evening. The assemblage was
as brilliant it large, every seat in the vast
auditorium being occupied and standing
room being in demand. The entertainment,
which was prolonged until after midnight WAS
selected with great attention to variety. and in
Guided four French comedies of the best order,
"Brutus Lache Cesar" "Estelle, on le Pere ct la
File" "La veuve au Camelia" and 'tMargot, on
les Benfaits de pEducation," played by members
Of the Club Dramatique Louisianas. all OF whom
We'd with one another to make this part Of the
entertainment attractive. succeeding ad-
mirably. The musical part COM
prised an 'ouverture symphonique'' and
"Grande Symphonic" both by one OF the bene
ficiaries, Mr.. D'Aquin, which were performed by
select orchestra Of professionals and anna
teurs.
We take unfeigned pleasure in cornplimenting
the gentlemen who executed these symphonies
for the exquisite manner in which they were rem
dered. We have seldom, in this city, even at our
famous concerts classiques," heard such excel-
lent execution.
Mr.. Joubert in his turn distinguished himself
with the "Souvenir DHaydn," by Leonard, on
the violin, manifesting thorough acquaintance
with his instrument, leaving little to be wished,
except probably more sentiment and fervor. OF
course MIR. Joubert was encored amid shower OF
bouquets, which prompted him to play very
pretty melody. Mr.. D'Aquin,'5 execution Of
q. Altes "La Perle du Bre ri" was, in our humble
opinion, the gem OF the evening and evidenced
that Mr.. DAquin had since last year made
immense progress.
This was followed by Bolero, new to us, the
result of an encore, and which was the occasion
OF another copious floral offering.
Altogether the entertainment was charming
one, and primary success besides, small fact
which will greatly assist Messrs. D'Aquin and
Joubert in completing their studies in Europe,
