We infer from our Nashville special
this morning, that Rev. T. A. Hoyt,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church in Nashville, has had some-
thing 10 say about the dishonesty OF
reputation from his pulpit, and the
House proposes 10 cepsure him there
for. DR.. Hoyt is one OF the eminent
divines in the State, and we insist,
that in denOuncing public dishOnt sty. {.
he did not go beyond the legitimate
sphere OF a Christian minister. 1t
does not appear what he said, but the
fac, tuat it was distssteful TO some
men in the Tennessee House of Rep
resentatives, is pretty good evidence
that he has correct views on the State
debt question.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Before
the Senate committee considering
Senator Jones bill to authorize the
use of railroad telegraph lines for
commercial purposes, Mr.. J. W.
Simonton, General Agent of the
Associated Press, made a statement
in reference to the relation between
the Associated Press and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company.
1t was a closely condensed, interest
ing and vigorous exposition of the
general system Of the association,
and a convincing demonstration
that it is not, in any
true sense, a monopoly.
That it neither lives nor prospers
by the favor of the telegraph COM
pany, but is absolutely independent
of that corporation, and that postal
telegraphy or any governmental in
tervention to fix the telegraph rates
would only strengthen the Associated
Press power, and proportionately
weaken its competitors. A number
of questions were asked by the mem
bers of the committee concerning
various features of the subject in
hand and were responded to, (as the
Chairman took occasion to say very
freely and frankly.
The Potter Committee met this
morning. The chairman laid be-
fore them the afidavits of Judge II.
G. Ripley and II. NJ. Mcintosh,
which have been forwarded by
Judge Cooke. Ripley's affidavit
was to the effect that one morning
during the sitting of the Board of
State Canvassers at Tallahassee, b 9
called at the office of the Attorney
General in the State House. He
met Attorney General Hon. W. A.
Cooke at the door and he seemed
quite agitated. He stated to
deponent that he had twice been to
the office of the Secretary of State
and had found the door locked ca
both occasions. While standing in
front of the Secretary's Office they
saw Gov. Stearns and Gen. Noyes,
of Ohio, come out and walk across
to the Governors office. At the
time deponent wondered that the
Governor and a citizen of distant
State should be closeted with the
Secretary of State at the time ap-
pointed for the meeting of the Re-
turning Board.
Mr.. Mcintosh interposes that he
was the Tallahassee correspondent
5he Savannah NesOs, and during
he canvass of returns of the Lass
election he one day
'aw Judge Cooke, one of the three
members of the Returning Board,
pacing the floor in front of the Sec.
'etary of States Office, in a nervous
,renzy. In reply to deponent's
question he said: 'Those internal
jcoundrels, McLin and Cowgirl (the
;wo other members of the board) |
nave got me locked OUT or words
% that effect. Mcintosh immedi-
ltely afterwards saw Governor
otearns, of Florida, and Governor
Noyes, of Ohio, leave the Secreta-
US room together. The afiaaVits

All was quiet on the

Zulus had been repulsed from

Helpmaker is unfounded. Capt.
Stafford, and Lieut.. Davis, of the
Natal contingent, who escaped from
the disaster at Col. Glyn's camp,
speak highly of the conduct of all
engaged and of the courage and
firmness of the native contingent,
thus disposing of the reports of a
mutiny and massacre of the officers
by the native soldiers.

MEATHRR III CROPS.

Our weather has been some-
what broken during the latter
part of last week. On Friday
and Saturday we had much rain,
but it was almost too late Id The
the season for to be very iDjur~
ious to the planting interest, as
the grinding now is drawing to a
close on most plantations. In a
couple of weeks we think there
will be but little cane left in the
fields anywhere in "a section.
The planters have been working
diligently, and the yield of sugar,
as we have before stated, has
been much improved since the
several frosts that we have had.
The quantity of sugar made in
open kettles this year, will be
smaller than usual. Briblebee s.
Bros, near New Iberia, have just
cleaned up their crop, and like
hundreds of others, only extracted
the juice. They have been among
the most successful planters this
season in their neighborhood.
Mr. Briblebee is not long a resi-
dent of the Attskapas, he came
q short time ago, we think, from
hWa, and brought with him three
other Germans, all relations of
his. They hired the Weeks plan.
tation and planted go or 20 acres
of cane, doing all the work them
selves, without colored or other
help or scarcely assistance from
any quarter. When the cane was
cut they rolled it, and then sent
the Juice to be manufactured into
sugar, on DR.. Daperier's place.
From their so or 10 acres, they
obtained upwards of 100 hogs
heads of fine sugar.
This isanother striking instance
of what may be accomplished by
white labor in cultivating cane,
which evidently can be done by
white men, with as little difficulty
as it costs them to raise cotton.

gun. The Metarie Cemetery As
ISOLATION generously donate the
lot, and within a circular monnd,
twelve feet high, ~ftty-seven

other large receptaCles for the
bones of those Of the $50 members
who will be inferred therein. Over
this tomb will be erected a 1eau~
tiful white maIbl monument
t%hirty.iour feet high, upon a base
block four feet square. The co..
umn will be round, two feet six
inches in diameter, with two Ie-
lief lines of laurel leaves. Upon
the front of the square block will
be chiseled two Confederate bat
tle-hagS, and below, "Army of
Northern Virginia, Louisiana Di-
vision" Upon the other three
sides will probably be engraved
the names Of Virginia battles par
ticipated in by Louisiana regj~
ments. The whole viii be sur
mounted by an erect aud liGe-Iike

the design for the tomb and
