JINING THE UNION.

JINING THE UNION.
Cosgrove of the Vindicator, is still
in preaching some sort Ola
mixed up political doctrine, by means
of which he will assimilate the bull
dozers with the red-mouthed bloody
shirtists. To effect this grand con
summation he VIII shelve what he
terms the Bourbon" and the Rebel
Brigadier. The young Southerner
will cease to be proud of Lee, Jack
son, Johnston, Cleburne and Jeb Stu
art, but will, instead, unifcate with
the great Ulysses and stalwarts.
Then will a loving brotherhood be
formed that will trample under foot
the romance and sentiment which
dwellsin Dixie's land, so that an era
of materialism will take their places
while therefrom willar progressive
Republican Democracy that will APP
propriate millions for internal i'm
provements, and by making money
circulate freely, will make us all SO
rich and happy that all hands will
join in a "hail Columbia" that Billy
Malone is re-adjusting to keep pace
with the rapid boys of the period.
Says Cosgrove:
There is no reason to believe that
the Democratic party with Its present
leaders and tenets can ever hope ev-
en- to be clothed with supreme power
in the nation, while it is equally true
that we can gain nothing as a people
with a party in power such as the
present Republican party is.
Mr.. Conklings revolt throws, in
our opinion, the first gllmmer of light
on the new future, when the young
and vigorous of both political parties
will Join issues and push forward
Americas greatness, glory and pros
perity.
"Free Thinker "a progressive cor
respondent OF the Vindicator, seconds
the motion substantially in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The people of this State and parish
supported Mr.. Greeley upon the plat
form of national reconciliation anc
the rehabilitation of the South, and
do not think | 60 too far when | say
we would support Gen Grant to secur'

We admire Cosgrove's dash in en-
deavoring to build up that kind Of
political congregation; but can't hell
from saying that when it dethrone

answered in the opinion of this
court substantially as follows: The
will of testator having been duly
proved, the Probate Court, which
had jurisdiction upon petition of
the executor, made an order for
the sale of all property of the es-
tate. BY virtue of this order the
property was sold according to
law; at public vendue, and was
duly conveyed in pursuance of the
sale to the purchaser in good faith,
In the opinion of this court the
title Of the latter was not affected
by the fact that later will of the
testator appointing sanother per,
son executor and making different
disposition of the property was
discovered aud admitted to pro-
bate. The order OF the Court Of
Probate for the sale of n testator's
estate is of itself an adjudication
that all the facts necessary to give
il jurisdiction to make the order
really existed. Upon ayerments
made in the bill, and evidence adj
duced to support it, this court is
of opinion that Mrs Gaines is not
entitled to a decree against appel
liant. SO much, therefore, of the
decree of the Circuit Court as re.
lates to the property claimed by
the widow and heirs of minor
Kenner, is reversed aud the cause
remanded, with directions to dis
miss the bill so far MS it concerns
appellant. Opinion by Justice
Woods.

Forrest Among The Indians,

Many years ago, while Edwin
Forrest was playing an engage.
ment ina Western theatre, White
Cloud and a number of other In
dian chiefs were ON their return
from Washington. Stopping in
the town over night, they were
conducted to the theater to see the
great American tragedian, Mr..
Mr.. Forrest was then in the prime
of life, his voice being up to the
maximum Of a stentor. The play
on that evening was "Metamora.p
White Cloud and his band of war
riors were accommodated with seats
in stage box. The theater was
crowded, and it was very evident
that the auditors were anxious to
observe what effect the perform
ance would have on the simon
pure children of the forest. The
play proceeded, and, though the
Indians could not understand a
single word that was said, yet they
appeared to be much interested;
occasionally giving to one another
a satisfactory grunt. After a while
they became rather uneasy, which
seemed to be simultaneous among
them all. This was more apparent
when the Indian war.hoop came
from behind the scenes. The eyes
of the audience were upon White
Cloud who two or three times
grasped the tomahawk in his belt.
The other warriors did so like
wise. The party were gett ing
more excited as the play proceed
ed. They looked at each other
with anxiety; their eyes indexed
the fact that their "souls were in
arms.p Presently Metamora with
uplifted tonahawk, rushed upon
the stage, and when he gave the
war-hoOp, which no one but For
est could do, the Indians could re-
main in their seats no longer.
Forrest gave a second and shrill
whoop, whereupon White Cloud
and his band, joining in full chorus
sprang upon the stage, and brand
ishing their tomahawks and glitter
ing knives, rushed toward Meta
mora. Forrest was apparently
dumbfounded for moment. but he
soon took III the situation, and,
finding that the real Indians were
OH his side, ready to do or die in
his behalf, he felt that he had
achieved one of greatest triumphs
in the profession lie so much loved
during his eventful life. In detail
ing this aneedote Forrest said that
he was not really aware at the
time of the performance that
he was using ain exact whoopn
for reinforcements, but the wild

Funeral Ceremonies Of the Late DR..

New Orleans Times Democrat,
Yesterday morning at ii O'Clock
from his hate residence on Caronde-

DIR. ID. Warren Brickell were borne
to the narrow house appointed for
all living. Feeling the presence of
the dread spectre, yet knowing not
when he would strike, the Doctor,
with that calm courage character
istie of the man, made all arrange
ments for his funeral ceremonies,
which were sacredly fulfilled. q
At an early hour, aud long before
the appointed time, the house of
mourning was crowded by the
many friends of the deceased, rep
ersenting the leading members of
this community, who united with
the bereaved family in paying the
last sad rites.
Exquisite floral offerings, trib-
utes from the living to the dead,

view and permeated the atmOs.

half the danger that is claimed, the
J. VI. White, the Natchez, the
Springer, and a dozen other fine
steamers would have been burned
to a crisp months ago. The facti is
that these boats carry enormous
loads of freight, principally cotton,
burning the electric light all night
through the medium of naked
wires, fastened directly to wood
work, and there has not been at
time the faintest suggestion of an
accident in consequence. Know
ing all this, it is little surprising
to the steamboatmen to hear that
awful calamities are predicted as
the inevitable result Of using the
electric light in cities.
