The steamer Bavaria, from New Orleans
for Liverpool, burned at sea February 6,
at $3.50 p. NJ. The crew and passengers
were all saved in the ships boats. They
lost everything but what they stood in, and
were picked up by the bark Dorothy
Thompson in northeast gale nineteen
hours after, and landed at Beaufort, South
Carolina. The Bavaria sailed from New
Orleans January %, with cargo of 1925
bales of cotton, Fl ty-fve bags of seed cot
ton, and 1000 barrels of resin. The vessel
and cargo were valued at about $500,000.
The schooner John S. Wood, Smith, from
New Orleans for Philadelphia, was run into
February 2 during q dense fog, of Fen
wiek's island, by an unknown three.masted
schooner, which struck her abaft the port
fore rigging and carried away lanyards and
chain plateF, smashed plank shear, gsplit
fOresail, broke fOreboom, started forward
house and stove boat. The damage to the
unknown schooner was not ascertalned, but
as she was not to be seen when the fog
lifted soon after the collision it is supposed
that she sunk. The Wood put into New
castle, Delaware, February 5.
The British ship Rhine, from New Or
leans for Bremen, put into Falmouth, Jan

on her beam ends in a squall.
The British ship Queen of India, from
Dundee for New Orleans, put into Fal-

sOnrds, New OrIean. DIRECTORY,

Each year, under the management Of
Messrs. Soards & Co., the New Orleans
Directory has improved in usefulness and
appearance. The latest Issue for 1877 is
much enlarged over that of 1876, and an
entire recanvass of the city has assured
even greater accuracy, though that of 1876
was model in that respect. 1t contains
several thousand more names and an in
creased number of attractive advertise.
ments show how well the labor of its com
pliers is appreciated, The street directory
has been extended and the boundaries Of
wards and districts more conveniently indi
Gated.
In the main body of the work, that Of the
alphabetical list of names, nearly 600 pages
the objects have been fullness and accuracy
and cursory examination shows they have
been attained. No errors have been de
tected, unless the appendix, containing 8
partial list of the State government may be
one. As this will, no doubt, be corrected in
a subsequent issue, criticism on such 6
point would be captiOus.
The work is the best that has ever beer
offered New Orleans, and deserves univer
sal patronage.

Very llittle business was done in either

At no time since the rebellion have they

Senator West called up Marshal Pitkin's

Governor Wells and Mr.. Anderson are
still confined in the crypt under the dome

The inhuman treatment of these gentle
men is producing feeling of indignation
against the Democracy throughout the
country.
Colonel Holloway, proprietor of the In
dianapolis journal, who arrived here from
home yesterday, tells me that it is the gem
eral topic of conversation in the cars,
hotels and other public places, and the &C.
ton of the Democracy is universally de-
nounced in the strongest terms.
Messrs. West and Kellogg are actively
engaged in assisting the Republican OBJ
jectors and counsel in the Louisiana case,
now before the commission.
No personal feeling between those gen
tlemen is permitted to interfere with their
zeal for the best interests of Republicanism
in Louisiana.
Marshal Pitkin laid before the Cabinet
yesterday full statement of the present
| animation in Louisiana showing the insur
gent temper of the Nichols party. The
marshal stands deservedly high in the de
partment to which he belongs, and hil
statements attract immediate attention.

Precedenta in he OreEon Case.

A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Times of February says;
The Republican counsel before the cleo
toral tribunal have had their attention
called to two decisions, one by Judge
Strong when he was State judge N Penn
syIvania, and the other by Judge Field,
when State judge in California, both OF
which have direct bearing on the Oregon
case. The decision of Justice Field will be
found in the tenth and thirteenth California
reports, and that of Justice Strong in the
fifty-sixth Pennsylvania report. Both de-
eisiOns are to the effect that the English
practice can not be applied to our system,
and that an election in the United States
can not be awarded to q minority candi'

Murder of "a New Orleans Woman In
Texas.

The Jefferson Jimplecttte contains long
account of the murder of q young woman
by man who accompanied her January
81. They arrived there January 10, and
registered as A. Monroe and wife, st. Louis.
Their trunk was marked A. Moore, New
Orleans. The man gave out that his inten-
,tiOn was to establish millinery business.
He was recognized Dy Mr.. James Wallace
as having been seen lin his store at New
Orleans. Other persons of Jefferson gave
a minute description of both. They had
rooms and meals at Mrs. Woods restau-
rant. Sunday both were seen to 60 in the
direction of the place where the body was
found, and only the man returned. He was
uneasy and eleepless, and was noticed to
have on two valuable rings she had worn.
When found the only wound on her body
was from pistol bail in the head. He had
purchased pistol the day before. A waiter
at Mrs. Woods restaurant heard both quar-
reling continually.
The circumstantial evidence against the
man is conclusive, and $4,000 can be raised
for his capture and conviction, besides q
probable reward from the State.
The man was about twenty-eight years
old, five feet nine inches high, dark COM
plexiOn, pug nose wide at the base, black
eyes, with half squint and whites very
large; thick lipe, dark hair, black mustaohe,
light in the middle and heavy at the corners
of the mouth; short stubby thumbs; q slight
limp not particularly noticeeble; Jewish ap-
pearanee; dark suit; black ehinchilla over
coat; low crowned black hat with rim rolled
and wide band.
The young lady was about twenty years
old, fair complexion, blue eyes, dark auburn
hair, thin and not long, with false twist;
low forehead, plump and heavy set, heal by
and rather good looking, bea4tifnl teeth,
the lower narrow and email. The only
mark was q small scar on the left breast, 4
little above the nipple, and on the chemise,

From the New Orleans Times, February 9;
The carnival, auspieiOusly inaugurated
last evening, may be considered preliminary
to the first interval of healthy feeling that
has been vOuchsafed in many months.
Too much praise, then, can not be ac.
corded the public spirited citizens who, in
spite of discOuraRements, have persisted in
making the carnival season in New Orleans
the attractive feature of the nation.
From the Times of the tenth:
In the opinion of q great many MOmus

have been far more appropriate as a cam
paign parade.
From the Times of the eleventh:
Were it todO over again, we
are convinced the designers would pause
before they attempted 30 gross violation
of good taste. What has occurred
may be and is looked back upon with re-
gfst; but the manly course would suggest
that it be ignored and forgotten altogether
as soon as possible.
