Saturday, May IL, 1879.

Ar THE WHAEF,-A large number
OF persons assembled at Brown
Landing last Saturday evening, to
witness the arrival of the steamer
Alice. But to the surprise of every
one, and Notwithstanding she had
q very large freight and passenger
list, she steamed on up the river,
landing at the ~Coh,mbia street
wharf. This is the first time in
many years that SO large vessel
has arrived ut our wharf. Our
ritiz-ns. and the popular officers of
the Alics. are to be congratulated
upon the accomplishment of this
very desirable result. The only
point which the Alice experienced
amy difficulty in passing was the
bend just below the wharf. and this
trouble wiz disappear after she has
passed over the bar few times.

The colored emigration to Kan

satisfaction Ill that State. Two
prominent Kansas Republicans
who are i'll Washington us wit
nesses before the privileges and
ELECTIONS committee of the Senate,
pushing the charges of bribery
against Senator Ingalls,. say there
Is more unskiiied labor in the State

that while immigration of all classes
Is desirable il il is sc:f-snstaininy,
they want no more helpless inmi-
grants. All kinds of farm products
are very low, and the supply OF
farm hands is now much greater
than the demand. The settlers Ill
Kansas are principally from the
Eastern Staten They are accus-
toned to working in the fields
themselves, and do not understand
the coloi'ed nan; are not used to

grants who may become charge

The excursion to Madisonville

and Vaudeville last Sunday, ON the
steamer Alice, WAS success In
every particular. Quite large
number of our citizens took adj
vantage of the OCCASION thus afford
ed to visit their friends in our two
neighboring towns, AMI at the same
time enjoy the exhilarating infu-
ence of the fresh sea breeze, which
mutually. accompanies trip ION the
lake"
The Alice departed from Coving-
ton about nine O'Clock in the morn
ing. The beautiful scenery along
the river Tchefuncta was IA source
OF continual admiration, as the
STEAMER slided gently along through
the smooth, still water, the rich
foliage of the forests forming two
immense green, ever changing, pic
tnresque walls OH either side, dot
ted ut intervals with the snowy
UNITS of the fragrant magnolia.
Arriving at Madisunville, the
Alice remained at the wharf short
time, when many of the excursion
lists went ashore to chat with friends
and acquaintance. A large num-
Der of persons We're assembled un-
der the large oaks i'll front of the
town awaiting the arrival OF the
boat. :.
In few minutes the steamer
New Camelia came sailing up the
river with an excursion party from
New Orleans.
After remaining as long as time
would permit, the whistle of the
Alice called ''all aboard" and we
were soon passing down the river
again, aud it was not long before
we had left the lighthouse behind
us and were sailing gaily along ON
the peaceful waters of the lake.
We reached Vaudeville about
twelve o'clock, when the excursion
lists separated, and in "a short time
various groups of cold folks and
young folks" gathered beneath the
welcome shade of the spreading
oaks along the beach, and proceed
ed to interview the contents OF we'll
filled lunch baskets.
During our stay i'll Vaudeville we
paid short visit, together with
several other young people, to the
residence of our friend Mr.. Frapart.
We found him and his estimable
lady at home, and they welcomed
us III their usual generous, hos
pitable style; and ere we left, rich
and rare were the beautiful bouuets
which they presented to us, COM
posed of the choicest flowers to be
found Ill the endless variety which
tdorn the grounds about his CHARM
nS cottage by the sta"
At three O'Clock the whistle of
The Alice again sounded, and we
we're soon ''homeward bound,"I
After enjoying II repetition of the
teilShtfui trip of tine morning, We
'rrlvsd at the landing i'll Covinston
,bout SIX o'clock Ill the evening,
when the excursionists departed for
heir homes, fully satisfied with the
pleasant manner in which they had
;pent the day.
Capt. Marcy, and in fact all the
officers of the Alice, did everything
IL their power to add to the COM
ort and pleasure of the excursion
SITS. and in this they were eminent
y successful.

A ssIOCKING CONSPIRACY.
The Children of Mrs Pierce not
Burned-Three Persons Arrested
for Perjury.

Mrs. Louisa Pierce, who was lodged in
Raleigh, n. c., Jail on the charge of
having burned her children alive, was
examined and honorably acquitted, and
t. rec of the principal witnesses were ar
T sted for conspiracy and pc jury. The
iacts we're that Mrs. Pierce, who moved
to No th Carolina from New York sew
eIal years ago, and is married to prom
iLcnt citizen near Raleigh, was unable
to agrt with her shiflless negro servants
and the negroes hate her. She gave pre-
ma uIe birth to twins, and hearing that
the negroes accused her of burning them,
her husband had the dead twins inspect
ed by number of persons, atler which
they were buried in box, which was
taken up when the mo- her was arrested.
and brought to Raleigh, where it was
found that the negroes had taken out the
bodies, and placed in the coffin charred
bones, which were proved TO be chicken
b)n-s. Some bones which a negto won.
an swore she had taken from the fire in
Pierce's house and knew to be the bones
of child, were proved TO be the bones
of a cat. 1t was evident that the negroes
had conspired to destroy Mrs. Pierce,
and three of them-one man and two
women--are In Jail, and others may be
arrested. atf

A recent volume of decisions of the
Court Of Appeals shows that its judges
| have struck siedge-hammer blow at a
| large class of small lawyers and at a
job-lot Of suits. 1t has appeared to the
! Court, as nearly every lawyer knows,
| that ii has been a fashion among the
camp-following attorneys in the army OF
| fighting lawyers to go toraging for clients
especially among poor people who have
been injured injured by accidents. They
| promise such people to bring actions, to
| take all the risks of defeat to advance all
the moneys necessary to the prosecution,
and all this in consideration of getting
one-third or one-half the sum ultimately
recovered. A case involving sucl
usages was recently brought to the no
til e of the judges, who unanimously held
that such conduct on the part of an at
torney not only was void in its contract
relations, but constituted an otlense un.
der the old Norman name of "Champer-
ty." In the future, therefore, corpora
tions or individuals who may becom,
liable in their business to suffer from
accidents in which persons may be Grip
pied or killed, will do well to inquir,
whether the attorney who harnesses then
is not Champertist, and if so t.
hand him over to police Justice

A. s. COlyar on the Railroad
suits.

The Nashville American publishes
a letter from A. S. Colyar to Mr. John
A. Gardner, chairman of the house
Judiciary committee, as to the railroad
suits, to which he sums up as follows
"This case, in M opinion, raises a
question which is conclusive against
the bondholder. The state cannot be
charged as trustee because it cannot
be sued, the State being necessary
party to any proceeding to f6reclose
the mortgage, the difficulties, in the
language of Justice Bradley, are in
surmountable. The amendment to
the constitution of the United States,
protecting the States against suits,
was made, as Mr. Story says in his
work on the constitution, to prevent
the Federal government from inter
fering in behalf of State creditors.
The state in its sovereign capacity
having taken mortgage for It's own
indemnity, and having in good faith
and in strict conformity to the act,
twelfth section, and amendatory acts,
protected itself by having the rail
roads pay in the amount for which it
is bound, no court can afford to 60 by
the State and give the bondholders
lien on the roads. Such proceeding
would not only be to disregard a plain
statute, as well as repeated adjudica-
tions, but a total departure from the
most vital principles of chancery pro-
ceedings.
