port. Blaine said he was not a prophet,
nor the con of one, but II this was done he
Ventured to predict that that long deferred
and much desired event, the revival of the
American steam marine, would soon arrive.
Mr.. Blaine then advocated shutting up
OF the governments navy yards, and de
voting the money therefor for the building
up of great private ship yards, which would
construct ships not only for our navy but
for private lines. The government would
save enough money by having its ships
built and repaired In private yards to
carry out the scheme OF paying
subsidies which he had suggested.
Unless this were done, there
was no hope of reviving the American ship
building industry. II we could not com
pete with England In ship building this
year, we would be still less able to do so
next year. A beginning must be made.
Mr. Beck spoke briefly in reply to- Ar.
Blaine, saying he was glad his remarks had
ELECTED a response from the Premier of the
next administration, but that Mr.. Blaine
had not disproved his (Mr. Beck's) asser-
tinns. Blaine's remedy for the existing
state OF things were further taxation OF
the people, since subsidies meant
taxation and nothing else. The effect OF a
subsidized line under John Roach, or any
body else, would be to destroy the competi-
tiOn of its rivals, then double its charges,
and finally create a monopoly.
After further remarks In opposition to
NJ. Beck's resolution by Mr.. Morrill,, the
resolution was laid on the table,
The Senate then took up aud passed the
naval appropriation bill as amended by the
Senate committee. Bills were also passed
as follows: To authorize the Secretary Of
War to grant the use OF certain land at
Fortress Monroe, Va, for the erection of a
hotel, and TO divide the State of Louisiana
into Judicial districts. The Senate then ad-
journed.
COMMITTEE NOTES.
Mr. Thompson, late Secretary of the
Navy, closed to-day his argument before
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs
against the suggestion that the construction
OF the Panama canal would be preiudicial
to the commercial or political interests Of the
United States, or would be In any proper
sense at variance with the principles OF the
Monroe doctrine.

Two little darkies on the Island in
this parish fell victims last Thursday
evening to the reckless use of firearms
common among negroes. Robert
Carter, darkey, was chasing a hog
and cndeavoring to shoot it, his gun
loaded with buck-shot. The hog, at
length, reached place where Carter
could fire. Intent on killing the hog,
Carter fred, and tho hog was killed.
The two little darkies were Off a short
distance, but in range. One was killed
instantancousIy, the other dying from
wound in the back shortly after,
from the same discharge of the gun.
DR.. Murphy, the coroner of the parish,
held an inquest, and tho verdict of
the jury was in accordance with this
statement. When q colored citizen is
after 4 hog, everybody, children par
ticularly, as we'll as the hog, should
get out Of the way.

Report Of Grand Jury.

To the Hon. Lc. w. Richardson, Jtttkye
of the 5th .J,nziciul District curt aotth-
in and fo,. the Parish Of Outtchit1
Suite Of Louisiana
The Grand Jury duly cnpanncllcd
and sworn at this term of your Hon.
Court, through their foreman beg leave
to present this their final report.
In keeping with our oaths and the
charge of your Honor VIC have made
diligent enquiry into all infractions Of
tho criminal laws of which we had
personal Knowledge, have examined
witnesses from all portions of tho par
is,l, and actuatcd by constant desire
to present no one from malice and to
leave none unprcsentc through favor
or the hope of reward, have found and
formally presented 4G true bills.
Your Honor having particularly
charged us toinvestigate the commission
of the crime ofperjury, we beg leave to
report that we made special invcstiga-
ton where this offence was charged,
but failed to elicit sufficient evidence
upon which to base an Indictment.
In connection with our examination
of tho Jail, by referring to- the report of
tho last Grand Jury wc find a sugges-
ton made by them as to the necessity
of repairing the vcntilator in tho rear
room of the upper story, and we regret
to state that this has not yet boon
done and it's failure entails upon the
sheriff the necessity OF crOwGing Il
number of his prisoners into ono room,
which from personal observation we
arc satisfied renders their confinement
also punishment.
OF tho Courthouse we have made no
special examination, tho necessity for
Il larger and better building is fact
patent to all, and since we are inform
ed that steps arc now being taken &c
build another, we feel that further com
ment is unnecessary.
Having finished the work given US
in charge, if there be no further service
required of us by tho Court we respect
fully ask of your Honor that we now
be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,

Foreman

Last week, and this, will be memoir
able in our local history for some years
rs the time, 81 had the break-bonc
fever" There exists no local cause for
this prevailing foyer, nor have we a
single fatal case to report. 1t is closely
allied, rs the physicians tell US, to tho
denguc, and nearly all the symptoms
are the same. Those who have been
afflicted say it is tho most har,ssinr
malady with which they have had TO
contend-that their bones ache, their
eyes hurt, thcy have no taste, and That
there is Il general goncncss and give
adamncss about their feelings.
None of these Sufferers, including
preachers, doctors, men of every cali
ing, and women and children, have as
yet called on us to give them a good
obituary, and tho presumption is very
strong that life, albeit some bones may
be broken, has charms yet not to be
dCsrscd. We judge that the trouble
comes mainly from an excess Of bile in
the system, Which, is common at This
season of the year. The treatment is
very simple, and the patients fever
does not last nfucI. more than Is hours,
Our sympathics lie with the sufferers,
but we can assure the IN, from u bed of
|ailliction, that, like 4 little boy who
has knocked his toc-naiI half away, or
skinned his Shin, they will feel i'm
mcnscly better when they have rccnv-
cred. For tho pain, we recommend

burglarizcd Monday night, and goods
of the value of about $500 were carried

articles taken were several watches,
three pistols, some dress goods, silks
and a suit of broadcloth. Conductor
Chapman, advised by telegraph of the
robbery, found about two hundred
dollars worth of the stolen articles on

Henry Mason, lately employed as por-
ter ut the store, and returned them to
Mr.. King. Tho burglar escaped, the
sheriff at Delta being absent in another
portion of the parish. Merchants and

around in unusual numbers. Tho city
authorities will not go far wrong in
strictly enforcing the laws respecting
suspicious characters.

The crop of cotton throughout the
parishes of this section of the State has
nearly all been picked. The .'second
CROP" OF which recently there was
good promise, has been pretty ctfectu-
ally destroyed by the caterpillar. But
little of the river crop has been ginnod,
the planters wisely preferring to gather
what was open in the fields. In the
upiands, the gins have been more ac-
tive, and much Of the cotton coming to
market is from that section. Diligent
inquiry leads us to believe that the
crop will be short onc-half of that of
last year.
