The St. Helena Gazette says a short
time ago acolored Methodist preacher
living in the country few miles, was
"silenced" by the bishop,but persisted
in preaching. And few days ago
another preacher was put in charge
of his church, the congregation OBJ
ijectipg to the change, when clubs
were brandished, knives drawn, and
any amount of chin music worked off,
when it wound up by some one set
ting fire to the church. The fire was
put out and did but very little damage
to the building. A warrant was issued
and the belligerents brought before
his honor Judge Pipes, who put them
under bond.

died in this place from the effects Of
an overdose Of morphine. The de-
ceased was stranger, and had only
been in town a few days, working at
his trade-carpenter-with Mr.. Cas-
tain. From all we can learn he was
originally from Missouri, where, it
seems, his family is now residing.
The only papers Oh his person were
cards of the hotel in Thiboaux and of
q sash factory in New Iberia. From
his own statement to others he took
the morphine to destroy himself, which
it seems, was about thirty grains.

make the statement, which comes to us
from good authority, that there are indi-
cations and rlmors Of1a combination to
defeat the commands Of the Constitution
by throwing every conceivable obstacle
in the way0f the passage0f the legislar
ton which.thc General Assembly is re-
quired to makednring the present session,
with regard to 80 important matter.
For the honor of the State and for the
preservation of the good feeling that ex-
lists between city and country, we ask
the Representatives of Orleans, par
ticularly, to frown down such q revolu-
tionary and high handed attempt, If such
o plan is contemplated.
On Tuesday, the House basing it's act
ion on the estimates Of private individ-
ual unconnected with the special COM
mittee, an estimate made some years ago,
predicated upon the good condition Of
the exterior and interior Of the walls Of
the Capitol, arrested the passage Of the
bill and ordered it's recommital, in con-
sequence of the strenuous efforts and ap-
peals Of some members who urge the ne
cessity of having before the House de-
failed estimate showing the exact cost Of
every item which will be required to re-
build the Capitol. f
When it is considered that the amount
appropriated is to be used under the su.
pervisiOn of the Governor and a commits.
sion to be appointed either by him or the
General Assembly itself, it looks as if a
want Of confidence in the honesty Of the
peoples rulers is felt in some quarters. /
We hope that no further necessary de-
lays will be imposed in the disposal of
this question, which has already occu-
pied at least two whole days of the val.
liable time of the House. ~
We believe that we represent popular
sentiment, when we say that under the
eye Of Gov. Willis, not one single dollar
Of the appropriation will be spent that
is not absolutely required to fulfil the
condition specified by tho Constitution
in this or any other connection.
Louisiana capitolian., 1880-03-13
THE CAPITAL APPROPRIATION

N. ". states.
The spirited discussions that have
occupied the time of the House of
Representatives during several hours
on four consectivc days, on the sub
ject of the appropriation to repair the
capitol at Baton Rouge, have at last
attracted general attention.
Article $50 of the Constitution says
that the seat of government shall be
and remain at the city of Baton
Rouge, and the General Assembly at
it's first session shall make the
necessary appropriation to repair the
State House and remove the archives
to the city.
Article 81, referring to the same
matter, ordains "that the General
Assembly shall meet at the seat of
government on the second Monday of
May, 1882, at twelve o'clock noon,
and biennially " thereafter"
Therefore, the issue cannot be
avoided, and the General Assembly
must per force obey the mandates of
Louisiana as sexpressedin the Constitu-
under which they are operating.
While the question Of the removal
of the capital was being agitated, we
advocated it's retention in this city,
giving what we considered the best
of reasons for the adoption of such
action.
But the Constitutional Convention
and the majority of the people of the
State have chosen to re-establish the
seat of government at Baton Rouge,
and we bow in obedience to their
solemn decree.
A special committee appointed by
both branches of the Legislature have
visited Baton Rouge, and after a
careful inspection of the walls of the
Capitol, a great portion Of which they
pronounce unsafe, and recommend to
be torn down to the height of twenty
seven feet from the base, also sug-
gesting various improvements, which
in theiropinion, are almost stindispensi-
ble to the comfort of it's future
occupants; these gentlemen conclude
by submitting a bill asking for an
appropriation of Sl41 900, or so much
there of as may be necessary. in
addition to subscription of $35,O0O
made by the city of Baton Rouge.
1t does seem to us that the above
amount is anything but an extravagant
one, and that the House should have
considered that the capital building
ought to be something more than an
abode wherein to transact the public
business of the State.
Surely, when the impoverished little
city of Baton Rouge willingly contrib
utes one-fourth of the sun required, the
remainder of the State can afford to
furnish the other three-tourths.
1t is with much reluctance that we
