THE Wharves.

Messrs. Eager, Ellerman & Co., the
lessees of the city wharves, contradict the
assertion that the wharves are ''hideous
wrecks" or "a mass of ruins" as the Dem
ocrat reported, and cites instances where
they are found good enough for the vessels
moored to them. Their letter to the pub
lie closes as follows:
The DemoorG reiterates its assertion
that the condition of the wharves will
Gepell trade, when officially informed that
there is ample accommodation for more
trade than We can possibly receive.
The facts, briefly, are that during the
unprecedented drouth of 1876, when hum
dreds throughout the North and West
died from excessive heat, the Mississippi
river reached stage of low water never
before known in its history. The removal
of the wafer pressure caused haadreds of
yards of leEee to cave, and, having no
f0udaAion to sustain them, many Of the
new wharEes built with great strength,
and OF the best material, cavcd with them.
Until the present high water again re-
cedes the city surveyor, as weA as every
other impartial citizen, knows that It will
be impossible to construct any new work.
The city surxeyer is well aware that the
moment these improvements are pEac-
ticable they will be commenced end
vigorously prosecuted 70 completion by
the lessees In common with every other
intelligent citizen, he is alsO aware that
for the present and immediate demands
Of commerce, the city wharVes afford
every necessary accommodation, and are
in working condition.
Never before ia the eity's history have
any permanent repairs to the wharveg
been commenced at this season Of the
year. All of the repairs which the city
surveyor has ordered, the Iessees are per-
fecly willing to make, and in every other
manner to comply with their contract in
letter audin spirit. T2

One Cowptsrteiier Caught.

Special United States Officer E. G.
Rathbone, arrived here Wednesday, and
identified James Murphy, captured by our
police for dealing in counterfeit money, as
the expected James Lyons wanted in Gin
cinnati.
Murphy had been brought before Judge
Southworth, Of the commissioners court,
and committed to the United States
court. Before Judge Woods Mr.. Rath-
bone testified be had several times ar
rested Lyons, knew the marks on his per-
son, described them and his character as
q seller and distributor of counterfeit
money, etc. Lyons was remanded to
await the return of Jadge Billings, when
he will be sent to Cincinnati.
He belongs to gang, of which Miles
Ogle, alias James F. Oglesby, vas the
head, and was convicted in Pittsburg in
1875. Special Rathbone captured Ogle
and B. johnson at that city and with
them 1O4 plates and $1,000 Of ten-dollar
counterfeit notes on the Richmond, La
fayette and Nuncy Banks with others
unfinished. 0gle disclosed where S1o,00O
more was concealed near Cincinnati.
Two letters were captured with Muir
ply, one of them, from Texas, containing
the following paragraph:
Things are horribly dull over here.
There seems to be nothing doing and the
place is crowded with men. wish was
in St. Louis laying off instead of this
place, as there is nothing to be seen.
What are all the boys dlawiug at up in
Cincinnati, as / hear the keno banks are
all closed and that there is Republican
mayor.
Which explains why New Orleans was
selected by Lyons as a residence instead
of the Queen City.

Hon. Charles W. Lowell left New Or
leans Friday, by sea, for New England,
in all probability never to return. Tor
nearly two years in feeble health, he has
failed so rapidly within the past two
months that there is no hope of his re-
covery. In a few weeks, perhaps, the
news of his death will come to his friends.
General A. N. Barney, formerly collect

Mr.. Kinsella as special treasury agent,

Hon. Frank Morey, appraiser general

An anonymous writer IN the DEM
and Times furnishes the following:

An anonymous writer in the Democrat
and Times furnishes the following:
The REPUBLICAN,, in its issue of May
16, makes some comments on the sentence
put by DR.. Layton on the lips of the Ger
man Chancellor: "Religious belief may
be anything you please, as long as it is
confined to the individuals mental faith (;
but his conduct must not be ruled by it.
Whenever religion crosses the State, reli-
gion must give way; the laws of the land,
whatever they may be, must be OBJ
served"
''This is American doctrine" says the
writer in the REPUBLICAN. Such an as
sertion can not be answered seriously,
because from such doctrine the follow
ing consequences should be drawn: The
prophet Daniel in the lions den, the
three children in the fiery furnace of
Babylon were great criminals, for they
resisted law of the land. They refused
to obey a decree enacted by powerful
king and promulgated with the greatest
| solemnity.
During 300 years, in the beginning Of
the Church. thousands upon thousands Of
! Christians died rather than betray the die.
| tates of their conscience. They were
great criminals undoubtedly, since they
dared to obey God rather than man.
Many of their brethren commit the same
crime nowadays, not only in the heather
countries of Asia, but in more civilized
spots of Europe. They prefer to undergo
fines, exile, and death itself, rather thar
obey human statutes opposed to the Law
Of God.
1t is supposed that the REPUBLICAN hal
overlooked these plain conclusions drawI
from his premises. He knows full vel
tnat human conscience is accountable tt
no civil tribunal. This requires no argu
ment; it is as clear as MONDAY.
The illustrations are rather unfortu
nate. The triumphant martyrs in tn,
cases cited we're given to denth by tn
priests of their day, and the God TO
whom they went to the sacrifice becam
recognized as the only true God by thei
prosecutions. Citing them can not b.
said to have answered seriously" tn
statement of the REPUBLICAN.

cords it and the Democrat copies it:
A mechanic, evidently skillful one,
built pair Of wooden goggles and gun
and suspended the two on pole on the
river front of Coushatta Wednesday morn
Ing, the first anniversary of the shooting
Of Marshall II. Twi, chen and the killing
of George King.
Not political crime 1t is idle to com
ment on these things. All that could be
said would fall on listless ears, their hear
ing dulled with constant repetition. No
hands will ever be stretched out to pun
ish these deeds in the past or prevent
them in the future. Those which should
be extended are powerless and impotent,
or SO filed with spoil that there is no room
for weapon.
The era of peace and good will has
come. The Coushatts Republicans are
buried, Dipkgrave is unavenged, Gair's
body lies in the woods where he fell, and
the courthouse that concealed the murder
ers of Weber has no other tale to tell
Here, cannon, rejoicing and mockery tel

PrayinE fer Iaayes.

The Rev. Mr.. Harrison, rector of the
Episcopal Church, at Monticello, Florida,
omits in his services the prayer for the
President of the United States. A local
paper says-
He takes the ground that Mr. Hayes was
not elected, and must, therefore, be a
usuTper. He consequently dees not recog-
nize Mr.. Hayes as the President Of the
United States in prayer as provided in the
church service. He has no objection TO
praying for Mr.. Hayes as a "man and
sinner and in suitable language as the
de fdcto ruler Of the ration, but he will
nat pray in the language of the prayer
book for him as the nghtful President of
the United States.

The unnatural rise in the price of bread
stutfs has, as matter of course, been fol-
lowed by marvellous shriDkage in the
size of the Loaf. This fact has directed
public attention to the old city ordinance
for many years obsolete, but the law just
the same establishing the assize and regu-
lating the weight and inspection of the
bread. Judging from the tariff laid down
in section six of that ordinance, the
loGves of bakers bread do not weigh one
halt the amount prescribed. 1t is the duty
of the Mayor to publish the assize in the
official journal every Saturday. Win he
do it9 The law has never been repealed,
and the Mayor has hardly the night to
disregard it, even if his predecessors have
done SO without criticism.

PaciacatIOn in West VirxIsIa.

A grand jury in Fairmount, West Vir-
ginia, has lately found indictments for
murder against two former Union soldiers
for killing a rebel sympathizer early in
the war; He was suspected of carrying
information through the lines, and Gem
eral Kelly ordered his arrest. The two
soldiers were detailed for the purpose.
when they approached the rebel sympa-
thizer fed, and, on his refusal to halt,
they fired at him and killed him. The
foreman of the grand jury is the present

Returning Board No. 2.

The new returning board met yester-
day.
Present Governor Wiltz,
Speaker Bush and Senators Robertson,
Allain and Zacharie.
Mr.. Barbin was elected secretary.
The following by Senator Robertson
was adopted:
ResolUed, That the powers of this board
under the act No. /, of 1877, are limited
to the canvass, and making return of
the election held on November 7, 1876,
from the official returns received by them,
and do not extend to any judicial inves-
tigation of the truth or fallacy thereof, or
of the manner of holding election or
registration.
Mr.. o. Delahoussaye, Jr.'s, letter for
warding the duplicate of returns from St.
Martin sent to dhe returning board was
read.
A protest from United States Supervisor
Y. A. Fournet against its reception was
read
The Democrats report contains the fol-
lowing:
The counsel for claimants, three OF
whom were present, were then asked for
their objections, each one stating that
they identified as correct and genuine the
signatures of the commissioners of elec-
ton, the consolidated statements, the copy
furnished by the supervisor in the sealed
package and that on file in the Office
of the Secretary OF State. That deliv.
cred to him by the Returning Board
was then compared, and it was found that
while the totals written in ink agreed
there were totals brought down in pencil
in the copy canvassed by the Wells-An'
derson Returning Board that did moi
agree with the duplicate copies furnished
by the ex-supervisor, the pencil mark
showing that the Returning Board penci
footipgs had raised the votes cast for tn,
Hayes electors and the Packard ticket
while at the same time the footings O
totals in ink, as cast up by the supervisor
corresponded exactly with the duplicate
he now presented.
This discovery created considerabl
stir among the counsel, and even sur
prised the board, but it was passed owe
for the time being.
On motion then the board decided tha
any scattering vote for candidates shoul,
be declared in favor of the actual candi
date, whether his name be misspelled o
whether initial letters be omitted, Vnt
that those who were known to have beel
actual candidates before the people shoul
receive the benefit of such votes cast.

The Democratic papers of New Orleans
have been full of Washington specials"
in relation to a change in the United
States marshalship. Marshal Pitkin and
Colonel Wharton are estimable gentlemen
and have, doubtless, been much amused
at the character of these specials. First,
Pitkin was going out Immediately, then
less Immediately, then Immediately again,
then on the tenth of June, then the
Democrat told us yesterday that Wharton s
chances had declined, and then this morn
ing's Times rallies with a special"
''Pitkin must CO." If the Times man,
alphabetically at Washington, insists
upon it, the Marshal will doubtless &C.
commodate him rather than be considered
disobliging.
Colonel Wharton is genial and accom-
plished gentleman, and rendered some
good service in the last local campaign,
but Marshal Pitkin has, by his battle Of
years for the Republican cause-upon the
stump, by pen and in the party councils,
and by his efficient administration, ma
tured claim upon the confidence of Re-
publicans which can not justly be ig-
nored.
Advices received daily from Washing
ton denote that some of our Democratic
neighbors have perspired quite unneces-
sarily over the assumed intent of the
President to displace Marshal Pitkin, but
as the days lapse, it is more and more
clear that patent specials" are not
orarles

the fact that Lafayette Square (Gravier

expressly as a playground for boys and

There seems to be limit to the extent
to which the forces of the government are
to be devoted to jollifcation over the sue
cess of the Nichols government as ap-
pears by the following correspondence
published in the PicGytRe:
New ORLEANS, May Is, 1877.
hon. R. W. Thompson. Secretary of the Navy:
The citizens of New Orleans are about
giving an entertainment to the officers of
the army and navy. We desire the officers
of the Plymouth present. If not incon-
sistent with the public service, please order
her to remain a week longer. This is
unknown to Barrett or his officers. An
swer. For the committee.
W. B. KRUMBHAAR.
The following reply was Immediately
received:
W. B. Krumbhaar, Esq, New Orleans;
Public interests require the presence of
the Plymouth elsewhere.
r. w. THOMPSON,
Secretary Of the Navy.
"Barrett" can find no fault that he was
not consulted previous to these instruc-
tions to the Navy Department, for it is not
usual for superiors to give their subor-
dinates an inkling of their intentions.
As an offset to this disappointment the
Plymouth fred two salutes Thursday OF
the arrival and departure of Governor
Nichols in making an official cell.
