The Additional committee has
again changed it's mind relative 20
the manner in which the missing
books were spirited away from the
Auditors Office. The latest theory is
that they were placed in a trunk be-
longing to Mr.. johnson and taken TO
a clearinghouse on Rampant street,
from whence the trunk was subse-
quently removed and shipped to
Mobile. Here the trail becomes cold
again and the mystery remains a
mystery. The committee has ad-
journed subject to call, but the chair
man is authorized to summon wit
nesses and pursue the investigation
at such times as he may deem ad-
visable.

Colonel Ross Edmund Burke, an
eminent and highly esteemed citizen OF
Natchitoches parish, is dead. He
served with distinction in the Confed-
crate army, rising from the rank OF
Lieutenant to the Colonelcy of the
Second Louisiana Volunteers, securin g
promotion for bravery in the field.
His civic virtues were quite as promi-
nent as the soldierly qualities dis
played during the war and his death
has cast universal gloom over the
community of which he was such a
useful member.

The present board of returning
officers having canvassed the election
returns from the parish of St. Martin
and announced different result from
that reached by the former Returning
Board, the recent Supervisor of Reg
istration for the parish publishes a
card in the Iberia Progress denounc-
ing the action of the existing board as
fraudulent. He asserts that the bal
lots contained in the sealed boxes in
posses sion of the Clerk of Court will
vindicate the returns made by himself
as Supervisor and promulgated by the
old Returning Board.

the unequalled score of PIG out of a
possible 225, at ranges of 800, 900 and
1000 yards, has been rendered place
upon the American team which will
participate in the approaching inter-
national rifle match. With COM
mendable modesty, which ever ac-
companies true merit, Mr.. Selph de-
clines to accept the position until it
has been won by competition under
the same rules and conditions imposed
upon other contestants for places up
on the team.

The Southern postal convention
which met at Fortress Monroe last
week was we'll attended and the pro-
ceedings were highly satisfactory, the
main business being the discussion
and recommendation to the govern
ment of plans for the improvement of
mail service in the Southern States.
Postmaster General Key was unable
to attend, his presence being required
in the daily Cabinet consultations
held during the progress of the great
strike, but he addressed letter to
the chairman of the convention, from
which the following extract is tele-
graphed,
You may say to the convention for me.

MIXED SCHOOLS.

We agree with the Carroll Conser.
ratiUe that there is no general desire
upon the part of the colored people
of the country parishes to send theil
children to white schools; that, or
the contrary, in all but very few ex-
ceptional cases, separate education Of
she races is preferred. No demand
for mixed schools was ever made here,
and the same may be said of nearly
every parish in the State. But in New
Orleans comparatively different
state of affairs exists, mainly due to
dissimilar conditions of society. There
large class of intelligent and we'll
TO. do colored people reside-many OF
them nearly white-who desire their
children to have all the educational
advantages obtainable, and for this
reason send them to the high schools,
which are mostly attended by whites.
The number seeking admission has
been small, and their intelligence,
personal cleanliness and neatness of
dress rendered them scarcely more
Objectionable to their white compan-
ions than children of their own race
with inferior mental and physical
advantages would be.
At all events, some colored children
have attended the white schools of
New Orleans-and particularly those
of the higher grades-for several years
past, and the matter had almost
ceased to attract attention, when the
new City School Board opened up the
whole question afresh by declaring
that there should be no mixed schools.
Left alone, the question would have
settled itself gradually and surely, on
a common sense and natural basis.
Its revival and agitation have excited
indignation and distrust among the
colored people of New Orleans with
out securing any corresponding ad-
vantages to the whites.
The City School Board may be a
very wise and erudite body in other
but it evidently doesn't know
when to let well enough alone or It
would not have set about exhuming
and infusing life into the dead and
buried bug bear of Mixed Schools.

The Indian war doesn't make great
progress. The willy chief Joseph, at
the head of about 500 noble red men,
is leading Gen. Howard long race
through the wilds of Idaho, evidently
waiting favorable opportunity for
attack. Joseph seems unwilling to
assume any risk he wants dead
sure thing, and will probably refuse
to give battle until he can get the
enemy at decided disadvantage,
unless he is sooner hemmed in and
compelled to fight. Gen. Towards
latest dispatches represent that he is
closely pursuing the hostiles, and an
ticipates that they will be met by a
force of Montana troops and held in
check until he can attack them from
the rear. He regards the capture of
Joseph and his band certain, if the
Montana force can head them off.

The prospects of the Republican
party in France have greatly i'm
proved, and it is now conceded even
by many of their opponents that the
Republicans will carry the elections.
The Conservative Union, as the op-

OF disruption, marked differences
OF opinion as to present policy having
arisen between the Bonapartists and
Legitimists.

Crop reports from the different Sec
lions of the State are generally favor
able and encouraging, jackson and
Concoraia parishes being the only
notable exceptions to the rule so far as
our observation has extended. In the
former parish the long droutll has had
damaging effect, while cotton worms
are appearing in Cqncordia. In the
parish of Franklin the farmers COM
plain of the depredations upon corn
by squirrels and coons, which are be-
ing killed in large numbers. From
the river cotton parishes and the
sugar and rice regions, uniformly
cheering advices reach us, portending
q bountiful harvest.

A colored woman who was bitten
by highland moccasin snake in
Madison parish was cured by :" a
quart of benzine, small cord and a
pOultice of moistened tobacco leaves. y
The Madison Journal reports the
recipe. We infer that benzinen is
Choctaw for whiskey, and that the
application of the beverage was in
ternal, but the manner of utilizing
the small cord doesn't seem so clear
to our mind. Will the Journal kindly
elucidate Z An effective remedy for
snake bite is useful thing to know.

The old st. Charles Theatre has
been seized at the instance of the
New Orleans Gas Company, and will
be sold to satisfy the claims of that
corporation, amounting to $50, 900.
The theatre will be purchased by the
company, thoroughly repaired and
refitted, and rented to theatrical
trOupes or combinations by the
night, week or season. This seizure
reminds us of the comic device sug-
gested by the Times for a city seal,
to-wit The representation of a
citizen mortgaging his property to
pay his gas bill. 1t may be remarked
incidentally that the Times and the
Gas Company are not as close friends
as Damon and Pythias by several
inches.

Gen. EscObedo and suite, who were
arrested by United States troops
when on the eve of heading a reyolu-
tionary expedition into Mexico, were
released on bond, and their proposed
ineursion was necessarily abandoned.
Pedro Valez, prominent adherent
of ex- President Lerdo, in command
of force near Matamoras which was
intended to cooperate with Esco-
bedo's invaders, surrendered to the
Mexican authorities just after the ar
rest of Escobedo was announced.
Thus the backbone of the Lerdo
movement has been broken and Diaz
is, for the time being at least, quieted
in the presidential chair. With the
assured cooperation of his forces
on the Rio Grande in the suppression
of border outrages and cattle stealing
raids, our government will presuma-
bly, accord early recognition to Presi-
dent Diaz.

Major, John s. Mellon of st. Louis
claims to have discovered that tur-
nips are an infallible remedy for the
cure of hog cholera. He discovered
the specific while acting as commits
sary in the Confederate army, and
has tried it repeatedly since, with
never falling effect. If the hog is not
too far gone to eat, turnips will cure
it.

the city last week was only SO, and
of these but ii were attributable to
small pox. There is no sign of yell
