The Jubilee S1Igers.

The concert given by the Jubilee SING
ers last evening was in accordance with
what had been expected, and was appfe'
ciated by the large audience in attend
ance. Everything was natural win the
performers, and their renditlons OF the
old slave songs of the South we're given
with a great deal of pathos and tone. In
snch a concert nature is everything; art
would fail to add its success. When a
performer sings successfully such songs
as were sung last night, then he must
put himself in the position of slave,
and cultivation in slave is something
not found. These Jubilee Singers are
especially adapted for their work; their
voices are tuned to the songs they sing
their plantation lives has been an excel
lent school for the cultivation OF their
task. No doub. there was many man
in the audience last night who has heard
many such songs in the days of the past
and as they are repeated here memory
goes rushing back to the old homes IN
the South. Another concert will be
given tonight, and another opportunity
will be afforded to hear this excellent
troupe.

The Virginia papers have been
telling some strange stories about the
size Of the feet Of their visitors from
Austin, but they are discounted by
the report OF scene which occurred
at the opening of the Legislature a
gentleman from the eastern part OF
the State while coming down from
the cars to the Capitol. happened TO
mistake the foot of Mike Purcell $
deputy for the Capitol itself, and
humbly enquired of small boy
where the Assembly Chamber might
be found.
The House yesterday adjourned
before one o'clock. And with all that
the general file was exhausted. With
the exception of the little debate on
the Presidential and Chinese ques-
lions no very great amount OF talk
has yet been INDUCED in during the
session.
Senator E. B. Dickinson arrived

He is only twenty-four days late.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.


One of the most influential ele-
ments in the Illinois Senatorial con-
test is said to be the superior cleo
tioneering qualities of the wife OF
Senator Logan.
The proportion of mercantile fail
ures last year in Canada was one out
of every 80 in business; in the
United States the proportion was
one out of every69.
Ten thousand dollars have been
raised in Chicago for the education
of the two sons of Bliss the Evange-
list. who was killed in the Ashtabula
railroad disaster.
The Presidents message to the
House relative to the use OF United
States troops in the South was pre-
scented on Tuesday. From evidence
received there was no doubt in his
mind that intimidation had been
used, and also actual violence, to an
extent requiring the aid of United
States troops, where it was practic-
able to furnish such aid. Although
the troops were sparingly used in
several cases, yet in no case did they
interfere with the right of suffrage.
They had the effect in several voting
places of protecting the rights OF
voters, and in consequence a fairer
election was held than could have
been possible otherwise.
Beverly Nash, of Columbia, has
testified before the House Committee
that he was offered $4,000 by the
President of the South Carolina Ma
tional Bank to give his electoral
vote for Tilden instead of Hayes.
The Philadelphia Board of Trade
have passed resolutions favoring the
electoral compromise bill.
The House Committee on Indian
Affairs have agreed to recommend
the passage of Seelye's bill to ratify
the arrangement made with the Sioux
Indians made by the United States
Commissioners, for the relinquish-
ment of the Black Hills country.
Sir Edward Thornton, General
Sherman and William NJ. Evarts, are
mentioned as three of the most atten-
tive listeners to Governor Morton's
speech. All concurred that the
effort was an exhaustive one.
Blaine has taken the oath of office,
and his seat in the United States
Senate at the same time. His chair
had been previously covered with
flowers by some of his admiring
friends.
Were the vote to be taken now on
the electoral bill, the vote would
probably be in the affirmative. The
opposition, however, is growing, and
it is possible that defeat may en-
sue. The speech of Morton has
telling effect for the opposition, and
it is reported that he will be second
ed in few days by an able speech
from Blaine.
Suit has been instituted against
Tilden for the amount Of his income
tax. The United States District At
torney says the suit has been delayed
on account of the position OF the
accused before the public. The
amount in suit is about one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
In Europe no apprehension seems
to be held of an immediate collision.
It is said that both Russia and Tur-
key may again attempt diplomatic
negotiations, and in the end these
may prove successful.
The report current a short time
since that Germany would not take
part inithe Paris exposition is again
denied. It il said that the old hos
tility Of those two countries is fast

JRWETTS HINT.
The Trouble that He Threatened.
IPhiladelphia Times !


The threat made at Cincinnati by
Jewett, Secretary of the Louisiana Re-
publican State Central Committee, that
in certain emergencies he would expose
the manner in which louisiana was
carried by dOctoring the returns of
Supervisors, contains a good deal more
than appears on the surface, and some
of the circumstances at least are known
to several persons.
After the election the Supervisors of
East and West Feliciana sent in their
returns without protest, each ridicul-
ing the idea of protesting on account Of
intimidation. The Democratic major
ity in East Feliciana was 1, 743 votes,
as cast in the regular boxes, and over
400 cast in other boxes by men depriv-
ed of registration owing to the absence
of the Supervisor. This brought the
Democratic majority up to some 1900.
In West Feliciana it was about 600.
When it was found that Hayes elec
ton depended ON the State all the
power of the Republican chiefs was
brought to bear on these two super
visors, as the State could not by any
means have been carried for Hayes
unless their parishes were thrown out.
The fact that there were no Republican
votes cast in East Feliciana made
SOOU case OH ltS IdCo IOr Cn0 1CopuOll-
cans. The Supervisor OF West Fell
ciana made a protest after the time
required by law. The Supervisor of
East Feliciana made y general state
ment of affairs as they had been report
ed. He refused to swear to this report
because it was mere hearsay, and he
did not know that it was true. This
was afterwards changed to regular
intimidation protest, a jurat attached
and the parish thrown out.
| Threats were made that if he exposed
the cheat, he would be imprisoned OH
trumped-up charges, and both Of them
were assured by a member of the Re-
publican Visiting Committee that they
would be provided for, and Il letter
guaranteeing this given them. The
closing chapter of this transaction is a
curious one. The Supervisor of West
Feliciana had possession of this letter.
He was shot down in cold blood after
the Inauguration, and the letter
mysteriously disappeared. The Super
visor of East Feliciana left the State.
Let Jewett speak by all means.

JURISPRUDENCE IN CATAHoULA.

Several of our exchanges quote the
paragraph from the News in regard tC
a certain justice who was about to fine
an attorney for taking an appeal. Why,
there's nothing remarkable in that
The jurisprudence of Catahoula is Il
system "sui generis," and cannot be
appreciated by those who do not make
it a special study. In some OF the
more enlightened courts of the parish
the usual legal delays are dispensed
with, and citation, judgment and exc
cutiOn all issue at once. We have
in mind now exactly such an instance
which occurred in an adjoining ward.
1t is in criminal matters, however,
thrt our system displays itself in all it's
symmetry and beauty. Some months
ago All individual was arraigned before
one of the Justices courts for hog steal
ing. AS our justice courts arc tribunals
of last resort in most cases, q regular
trial was had, and the party acquitted
on the ground that hog stealing was
the custom of the country. In another
case man was arrested and prosecuted
criminally for trying to get out of pay
ing debt, and the justice actually sent
for some law books in order to deter
mine whether or not to have the man
hung. In the mean time the accused
took the alarm and left for parts un-
known. For the truth of this state
ment we do not vouch, but We have
been informed by some of our most
reliable citizens that the facts are as
stated.-U Uttt1hOattn NeacS.

LARGE SNAKE.

We were yesterday informed by Mr..
Smith, living on Quaupaw bayou, that
while he and his son, William, aged
about 13 years were out in the woods
on Monday afternoon last driving up
their cattle, their attention was attract
ed by the bleating of a calf some dis
tance from them. Thinking probably
that the poor animal had begged they
started to it's assistance. They had
gone only u short distance down the
bayou when they discovered a yearling
about two years old in the coils of a
huge snake, the body Of which was
suspended from the limb of black
gum tree about twenty feet distant from
the ground and which projected from
the bank Immediately over the water.
Mr.. Smith and his son were almost
terror stricken at the sight, and stood
speechless for several moments uncon-
sciously watching the movements OF
the huge reptile as he entwined him
self around the already dead body OF
the yearling and at every coil of the
snake they could hear the bones of the
calf break.
After coiling itself around the life
less form of the yearling and crushing
every bone in its body, the serpent let
loose its hold from the tree and dropp.
ed down alongside Of its victim, and
began licking it all over prcparatory,i' ii

When Wade Hampton went to
Washington a week ago to ask for
arms wherewith to put his militia i'll
serviceable condition, there was an aw-
full apprehension that the long expect
ed war of determination against the
unsophisticated and inoffensive negroes
would begin at once. Happily this
dreadful fear may now be dismissed.
The Chicago Times says: Hampton did
not get any guns, but he obtained a
piece Of information instead that is Gu
rious if not valuable. It appears that
while Don Cameron was Secretary OF
War, last summer, he furnished Cham
berlain with arms for the negroes, and
dealt them out so literally that the or
binary quota of the State was taken up
in advance for thirty or forty years.
None of the arms are to be found now,
of course, the receivers having doubt
less "spouted," sold, or traded them off
long ago. When the rnurderous white
league fellows want to begin the work
of determination, they will have to
buy their own arms.

Edward $. stokes, Pas. and Present,
baltimore Enouirer.l

lBaltimore Enquirer.1
Another celebrity among the au-
dience at stBaby'-{in quite a different
line was this gentleman)--wasS Stokes,
the murderer of JAS. Fisk. A stranger
looking at him would certainly say,
Stokes figure has filled out c0nsiGera- !
bly, since his release from prison, and
its ample curves indicate a lining of
good capon and u mind at ease. A
generous liver is he. No prince of the
blOOdrOyal takes better care Of his appe-
tites than does this pardOned criminal.
He has resumed, with all the ld-time
relish, his luxurious mode of life, and,
as he finds many people who believe
that he was wronged by the man he
killed, to lend him u helping hand in
business, he may enter into the enjoy
ment Of u large fortune. In the mean
time he follows the memorable man
date: ....... ,...-..F. g.i....
''Sleep, voluptuous Caesar, . ....
And security seize on thy powersi"
This was the picture Stokes present
ed the other night at the theatre-a tall
broad-shOuldered man OF generous
figure, with hair touched with gray AS
though powdered, n moustache and
imperial (the latter quite black), aud a
garb of fine pearl-gruy cloth, the vest
cut SO as to show shirt-iront fastened
with diamonds. He sat there enjoy
ing the play, laughing lightly mt the
progress of the intrigue, and now and
then turning to the handsome woman
who sat at his side, with blood-roses in
in her fair hair, as though to see that
she was sharing his own evident
amusement. AS watched him for Il
moment another picture rose in my
mind-a dull, enervating gray day sew
eral years ago; the place the gloomy
inclosure of the Toombs Stokes, the
Wretched murdered of a man who was
then scarcely cold in his coffin, came
into tho bare precinct of the visitors
room and led the way to his cell. His
hair was prematurely gray, his cheek
haggard, and, as he sat half-stripped,
so great was the heat, in the dull con-
fines of his narrow lodging, he plucked
at his bare skin with the action of u
man whose nerves are shattered. Sitt-
ing THUS, in that repellant dungeon, he
strove to establish his case by legal
bearings and the perversion Of testi-
mony. It was very melancholy pic
ture, and no one who saw it would
have had the heart to hope that a few
years even would see this man, in the
full enjoyment of his liberty, sitting in
a brilliant theatre, as handsome rs a
