We had the pleasure of q call
last Wednesday, from Mr.. Louis
|Trager, the Republican candidate
for Congress i'll this District. He
appears to be a thorough, energet c
business man, and is the most ex-
|tensive cotton planter in the State.
He assured us that if elected he
would endeavor to accomplish much
good for our district and parish, in
the way of improving our rivers
and bayous, establishing light
houses, building Il breakwater at
Vaudeville, etc. From letters that!
he showed us, we have DO doubt he
will receive the entire Greenback
vote of the District.

The Republicans argue that ii
would be better for the South to
elect Republicans to Congress, be-
cause they would he able to &c
'complish more good, and would
have more influence with the Re-
publican majority in that body.
According to this argument, the
South should send IL solid Demo-
cratic delegation hereafter, as it is
now certain that in tue next Con-
gress the Democrats will have a
good working majority, and a few
votes to spare.

A Portrait of Blaine.

A three-quarters length portrait in oil of the
Hon James. G. Blaine is on exhibition at Chap
mans book store, where it will remain short
time before it is shipped to Venzuela. The
portrait, ordered by the Venezuelan govern
ment, is by Washington's artist, Mr. Henry
Ulke, Mr.. Blaine kindly giving him the neces-
sary sittings at the request of Senior Camancho,
the Venezuelan minister
The painting represents the statesman stand
ing, holding in his right hand roll of manu-
script, his left hand resting easily on pedestal
upon which stands bust of PresidentGarfeld.
The American flag hangs in graceful folds
about the bust aud pedestal.
To a majority of those who have seen the por-
trait, it is not, probably, entirely sati sfacto.
ry one. 1t lacks that expression of eye and
mouth most familiar and pleasant to Mr..
Blaine's immediate friends and acquaintances.
Mr. Ulke. however, has succeeded in what he
undertook to do, to paint historical portrait.
He has depicted Mr.. Blaine the public man, as
all will acknowledge to whom the statesman s
face is more familiar as it appears in the Hous-
es of Congress, on the platform, or dealing with
affairs of State. Mr. Blaine's friends may
complain thai there is missing from the por-
trait that good-natured expression and merry
twinkle of the eye that the great man ever ex-
hibits in his home life, but all must admit that
| Mr.. Uixe has presented him as the statesman
true to life, which fact renders the picture of
greater historic value. AS to the technical
points of the work it's only necessary to say
| that in this portrait is contribution to art of
which even Mr.. Ulke himself may be justly

GUITEAU'S CASE.
Hearing Before the Court in Banc on the
Dafendant's ExceptionS

Hearing Before the Court in Banc on the
Defendants Exceptions.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE hearing before
the court in banc upon the defendants excep-
tions in the case of Charles j. Gniteau, was re-
sumed this forenoon.
Col Reed desired to call attention to one au-
thority on the point, that it is the duty of the
courts to sustain technicalities when they ap-
pear in the law. He quoted Lord Manstields s
observation upon this subject, pending the de-
cision of case where popular clamor demand
ed contrary decision.
Judge Carter-lo ou mean tosay he hell that
a mob should not try the case?
Mr. Reed-Precisely
Carter-Well, that is sound law; We accept
it.
District Attorney Corkhill then began the
opening argument for the prosecution. He re-
hearsed the shooting of the President; his be-
ing taken to Eiberon to save his life and his
death there. He continued. But this effort
to save his life, and ii possible by human
means, to prevent the effects of this crime, is
now made the important and leading feature
in the argument against the punishment of
the criminal. 1t is gravely said that because
President Garfield was not allowed to remain
here and die that, therefore, this court has no
jurisdiction to try the assassin WHO committed
the murder, and that under the Construction of
the law for centuries the fatal stroke and the
death must both occur in the same jurisdiction
to make the crime complete. Counsel then
discussed from his brief the question of juris-
diction, which is the main reliance sof the de-
fence. After concluding his remarks upon the
question of jurisdiction, Corkhill discussed the
exceptions taken by the defendant upon the
trial, and he concluded by saying: In the COM
plete record Of this case, every word uttered
by the court, counsel, witnesses, or prisoner, is
before this court for examination, and am
certain in the records OF no criminal trial in
this or any other country can De found such
lenity to the prisoner on the part of the court
aud yet SO scrupulous care as to his every right
SO careful an analysis of the law, and SO thor
ough and complete legal discrimination as to
the testimony Counsel took occasion to COM
pliment the course of Judge Cox during the
trial of the case, asserting that the final result
fully yindicated his calm, heroic, patient, law
yer.like, judicial department, and that there
was a herosm in his management of the case,
which shall mark an era in judicial history.
Corkhill finished his argument at 12.45, aud
Judge Davidge began the closing argument for
the prosecution, addressing himself to the
question of jurisdiction.
The court adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing, Judge Davidge not having concluded his
argument.

Lvennor's Weather Bulletin for May.l
Vennor's Predictions.
General Forecast of the Season of 1882

One of the thirteen long-range and general
predictions which / have given forth and caus-
ed to be published in the leading newspapers
of the day and in my yearly almanacs between
the years of 1875 and 1882, only two have been
seriously tout" or astray with respect to the
summer season. This statement is not an
empty assertion, but on the contrary one that
is capable OF proof. For the yerifcation of these
predictions does not lie in my own translation
of them, but in each case has been gathered from
telegraph reports of the day, and just as these
have appeared in the daily journals in which
the predictions were first published Having
said this much on by-gone forecasts desire now
briefly to give brief but comprehensive out
line of what, in my humble opinion, are likely
to be the mos. remarkable features OF the sum-
mer and autumn Of the year 1882:
First-A season that will well merit the des-
ignation of cool to cold and wet, generally.
Not that there will not be Terms OF summer
warmth and even intense heat i.f periods, but
rather that these last will appear in the retro
spect as of but comparative insigl ifcance, or
as the exceptions to the general rule.
Second-The season will be marked by not
only great precipitation, but by mugginess OF
atmosphere, generally, caused by the reeklng
condition of the earth and the long continu-
ance of couded sky. This will result in peri
ods of extreme suitriness and heavy weather,
during which the thunder and hail storms will
occur. In otherswords, the summer will be the
reverse of clear and dry.
Third--There is likelihood Of June and Au
gust frosts in Northern, Western and Southern
sections, and general cold wave may occur to-
ward midsummer.
Fourth-The autumn months win continue
moist. September will probably give rains and
floods in Western Canada and in western and
southern sections of the United States. Octo-
Der will be much the same, with early cold and
snow falls. November will begin the wintsrsof
1882 -83-a winter likely to be memorable on ac-
count of its exceptionally heavy snow-falls and
very cold weather over the whole Northern
Hemisphere. That "a cold and wet summer is
invariably followed by cold and stormy win
ter" is a truth now SO well proven and borne
out by the testimony Of past records that we
cannot lightly put it aside; and if we have
good ard sufficient grounds for predictiDgi the
former-as we most assuredly have at this time
lit is but right that we should warn the peo-
pie Of the latter in good season.
Fifth and last-The approaching season will
be the first of couple of wet sum-
mers, and, as 1882 is, so is 1888 likely to be. But
here we must stop for the present.
