New Orleans is likely to be almost
overrun with visitors at the coming
Carnival. We learn from the States
that every hotel in that city is even
now full. Tho process of d0ubling-up,
or quadrupling-up, as the case may be,
says our contemporary, is the only way
of disposing of the guests yet to arrive !;
but luckily, continues our contempo-
rary, the Accommodation Bureau has
ON its books n Iargs list of apartments
to rent, so there will be no difficulty in
finding place for all who may come.
The condition of the hotels indicate On
immense attendance at the Carnival.
and also shows that our visitors are
coming much earlier than usual.

TIE NEW YORK SUN ON MCDONALD.

We find in the Cincinnati Enquirer
a warm commentator of Mr.. Joseph,
e. Mcdonald OF Indiana as a possible
Democratic candidate for President.
ellis views,' says the Enquirer, "have
been those of the old type of Demo-
Gratis in the days of Van Buren, !; he has
never detected in times Of temptation
on any sort of question:"
There are several things in Mr.. Nc
Donald's character and history which
would seem to make him more practi-
cable than the general run of Demo-
cratic statesmen. He Is a man of strong
abilities and of conservative DISPOSE
ton. We have no doubt that if he had
been nominated In 1880, after Mr.. Til
den had declined, he would have been
elected but Mr.. Hendricks had such
power over the Indiana delegation that
he was able to exclude Mcdonald and
defeat the Democracy. Whether he
will have the same power in 1884 is
another question and it is also doubt
full whether Mr.. Mcdonald would make
as available a candidate then as he
would have made four years before.
We say it Is doubtful, yet we fear it is
not doubtful at oil. We believe that at
the close of Mr.. McDonald's career in
the Senate he voted in favor of the
Star route Post-ofdce swindles; aud
pursuing the same injudicious aud I'M
patriotic course, he subsequently lent
his influence in behalf of Jay Gould to
the confirmation of Stanley Matthews
as Judge of the Supreme Court!
Neither of these transactions can
recommend Mr.. Mcdonald to the PEG.
pie in 1884.
Nor can the Suns course in either
1876 or In 1880, nor that of Mr.. Tilden,
nom nation in 1884.

We learn from an Associated Press
dispatch, dated Chicago, the 18th, that
an immense tract of land in Texas set
aside by the State for the purpose Of
paying for the erection of State house,
has been transferred to Abner Taylor,
Hon. s. b. Farwell and John ". Far
we'll, Of Chicago, and A. $. Babcock,
of Canton, Ills, who will furnish the
necessary funds for the erection of the
building. The dispatch continues:
"This domain is larger than the State
of Connecticut and five times larger
than Rhode Island. 1t is in the north
west corner of the State, and the sur
vey extends south 1877 miles, with an
average width of twenty-seven miles.
Two railways are already projected
through this section Of the State. The
transfer of these lands is probably the
largest sale ever made to private indi-
viduals, and the purchasers are the
largest landowners in the world.''

The sad information cast gloom
over the entire community, and espec-
tally In railroad circles where both
Major Washburne and Mr.. Stoll were
well known and universally esteemed.
Major Washburne was a young man
possessed of great talent and indomita-
BILE energy and ability, whose noble
and unselfih traits of character entleared
him TO the hearts of all who had the
pleasure of an acquaintance with him.
BY the love and close application to the
profession which he was SO eminently
qualified he had placed himself upon
the highest round of the ladder. He
was not only chief of the splendid rail-
way, which was constructed under his
supervision, but the consulting engi-
neer of various other railroads in Texas.
He possessed the absolute confidence of
the American Railway Improvement
Company, and General Dodge regarded
him as the ahest engineer of the South
west. He was beloved by those with
whom he came into daily contact, aud
possessed an unbounded popularity
among the men. He WAS eminent not
only In his skill AS an engineer, but in
his remarkable talents for adjusting the
conflicting claims of railroad contract
ors, giving equal satisfaction to both
the contractor and the company in
whose employ he labored. He was,
indeed, a man of great brain, united to
a splendid character and noble heart.
The great State or Texas, which his
genius has benefited for the past ten
years, will mourn his loss, and the sigh
Of regret will ascend from thousands
of sincere hearts who loved and re-
spected him. He leaves mother and
sister at his home in Rochester, New
York. .., ...-.,.

THE TROJAN'S RECEPTION IN NEW
YORK.
[Associated Press Dispatch

! [Associated Press Dispatch.l
"Paddy" Ryan, the defeated pugii-
ist, accompanied by "Johnny" Roach,
his trainer, arrived at Jersey City at
$50 o'clock tonight on the Chicago ex-
press, by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
There was no one to welcome him at
the depot, and only n knot of curious
spectators gathered in the station to
catch a glimpse of the prize-fghter, and
see what he looked like after his ter
rifle struggle. He presented the appear
| ance of a thoroughly whipped and
! utterly downcast man. Detection and
defeat seemed to cover him s with a
pail. His under-lip, cut and bruised,
Tapped over on his chin, and he held
his head down and shifted through
his nose as if suffering from a severe
influenza. He walked quickly to the
ferry-boat on which about a dozen per.
sons gathered around him.
"You have got a bad cold, Paddy"
said a sympathizing friend.

"What are you going to do now:"
al don't know"
"Where is Sullivan ?''
"I don't know" Ryan responded
grutily. He seemed loath to speak of
the late conflict, but in reply to repeated
questions said: st is true ! am now

"Hurt" Why shouldn't it?"
AS no one seemed able to tell why it
shouldn't, and the effort Of speaking
being visibiy great to the pugilist, a
mournful silence fell on the little group
assembled on the forward deck OF the !
ferryboat. This remained unbroken
until the boat reached the slip, when
Ryan and his trainer got into cab and
drove of.

THE JURY SYSTEM ILLUSTRATED.
flake Providence Herald.l

lake Providence Herald.l
A man by the name of Belcham was
tried at Cincinnati few days ago fol
killing Patrick Hughes. The trial
being finished the case was submitted
to the jury by the court, they retired
to consult upon the guilt or innocence
of the party charged, and their method
of arriving at conclusion was as fol-
lows:
The first vote on the question whether
or not he was guilty of murder in the
first degree resulted-yeas 6, nays !;
second ballot, yeas Z, nays s; third,
yeas 2, nays 4, blank !; fourth, yeas 8,
nays 8; sixth. yeas II; nay seventh,
yeas II, nay l !; eighth, yeas ~.
Having thus snapped around until
eight ballots were taken, they con-
cluded to make their verdict as follows:
awe, the jury in the issue Joined
between the State and the defendant,
VIM. Belchaln, find him guilty of muir
der in the first degree"
Here is a mans life ballotted for, six
and six they start off. These half dozen
men ON each side, and supposed to have
heard and attended to the testimony
throughout the trial, six of them are
satisfied that the man Is guilty of MUIR
der, tho other six say "not So" The
the stake-the ssnot so" side gradually
give away one by one, until the twelve
men unite in saying chang him." This
to us seems horrible farce let us sup
pose the six "not 80" men strong
minded and stubborn. Was it not as
likely that the other SIX should or might
have given way and the mans life be
saved?
This case is probably one OF many
Others of a similar kind that Is con-
stantly transporting in the courts of
Justice-and which should speedily
cease to exist, for it is nothing more
nor less than balloting for human life.

DEATH OF MARGARET HATCHERY.

A good woman has passed away
one whose kindness and charity to the
Confederate soldier during the war and
at the surrender is held in grateful
remembrance by hundreds and thous-
ands who have survived that conflict.
The New Orleans papers pay glowing
and just tributes to this most worthy
woman. The Times-Democrats says:
Margaret Haughery, or simply Mar
garet, as she was better known, was a
native of Baltimore, and came to this
city forty-six years ago, where, by her
remarkable thrift and wonderful en-
ergy, she accumulated fortune and
earned for herself reputation as a
Christian woman which will be long
remembered here. Over thirty years
ago she was attached to st. Mary's Or
phan Asylum on Camp street, and had
charge of its dairy, performing the
work almost ola man. Her great phys
ical strength enabled her to endure cold
and heat, and in all weathers she could
be seen Of mornings, with her quaint
Quaker bonnet, driving her milk cart,
and delivering to her customers the
product of the dairy before daylight.
Under Sister Regis she remained
many years at the asylum, quitting it
only to employ her great adminfstra-
tive ability where it would find most
scope.
Establishing II modest bakery, her
reputation soon spread, and her honest
dealing gained for her a very large
trade. Alarger establishment was built,
which year after year had to be added
to, until it is one of the largest in the
South.
OF her character it is almost a work
Of supererogation to speak. There is
not benevolent institution here but
has been the recipient of her bounty
not work of enterprise but has
received from her substantial evidence
of her cooperation. She was remark
able illustration of what woman can
do by pluck and perseverance, and now
after days OF good work are over she
has laid away the cares and troubles of
busy life for the heavenly rest beyond
the tomb.
