Ex-Judge Gates is candidate for
district judge in the Iberia district, in
opposition to Judge Fontelieu, the Re
publican candidate for reelection.
The Iberia Star says:
Judge F. L. Gates addressed the
members of Iberia Club No. 1, last
Thursday night, and among other
things said: II defy any man in the
State to charge me with misdeed or a
wrong for which | would blush, in Ell
Their private or public life. | am not a
Creole, not an American, but | am a
Louisianian, aud in war | can boast of
having shed my blood for her, and in
peace, IN my official capacity as Judge
Of the district then comprised of four
parishes, to which was assigned at the
close of hostilities, | defy any man TO
point to single error or to an injustice
of any kind, and this is more than my
opponent, TheO. FOntelieu can say.
The war had necessarily suspended the
operation of courts of justice, and sOme
thing like 1000 cases, civil, criminal and
SUGGESTIONS, had accumulated upon the
dockets and in less than a gear and q halt
these were adjusted and disposed.

Theo. Fontelieu doing smuggling cot
ton p About 300 white and cololed cit
liens were present, and the low, frivo-
lous and ignoble-minded charges with
which Judge Gates is accused-sueh as
being "red-headed," of not bowling or
shaking hands right and left as means
of capturing votes, etc.,-were ably and
amusingly discussed, demonstrating as
they do the incapacity of bis opponents
to find sensible grounds upon which to
harass him while administering quack
lotions to their cramp-headed handful
of listeners.

We find another endorsement of Gov
McEnery in the Feliciana Sentinel. Mr..
Louis TRACER who was the Republican
candidate for congress during the last
congressional campaign, was interview

advise all the colored people who ask
me for advice-and have already been
approached by many-to vote the Me-

The West Feliciana Sentinel, in an
article on the present high water and
the leveeing of the Mississippi river,
says
Enough money has been squandered,
year after year, for decades in patched
up reliefs, to have ensured us a sub
stantial and lasting protection. But
the trouble is, that heretofore, River
Commissions Levee Improvements, ETC.,
have been manipulated by politicians,
and not by those who have the good Of
the country and their fellows at heart.
The plan generally pursued was, to
squeeze as many dollars out of the fund
for Nos. i, Q and 3, as cOnld be done
without too great an cutlery OF "StOp
Thief |" being raised, SO that the grasp
ing horde of contractors, surveyors, and
managers i'd genus Onne, pOcketed the
governments cash, we the unlucky
sufferers behind crnmbling levees and
washing dykes, might grumble as much
working backward, and that is what is
recorded of us in the past one might as
we'll attempt to build q church by be-
ginning at the steeple and proceeding
downward to the foundation, as to i'm
agine that any lasting good could come
from the impractical work which has
hitherto been done ON our river. One
crevasse is closed that the weight of
the waters may force a passage through
another, such has been the result and
success of all the so-called Improve
mentsa during the last few years.

Condition Of Central Pacific.

New York, June 30 C. P. Huntington said
this morning: 1.-The Central Pacific interest, due
July is about $500, 600 and the company, has in
bank about three times this amount In regard
to the Cotton suit emphatically deny the story
that there has been any unwarranted disturb
ance of the Central Pacific sinking fund The
only Southern Pacific bonds belonging to the
sinking fund sent to New York are those of the
State aid loan Of 81, 900 600, which natures July
2 These bonds were sent here to be used to
nay for State aid bonds, as contemplated by the
mort cages. The allegations of Mrs. Cotton
are mere spite work, Intended to
injure the credit of parties. She is endeavoring
to back-nnail; she attacks all interested parties
with whom she is fighting, hoping to obtain
something from them that is not her due
Counsel telegraphs that no application was made
for a receiver for any railroad company, except
for comparatively small amount of bonds and
stocks that she claims an interest in, and that
are the subject of her litigation. The judge re-
fused to entertain the motion. and the indica-
tions are that he will not allow the machinery of
his court to be used for such a purpose

There is renewal of the gossip about the New
York, New Haven & Hartford leasing the New
York & New England to the detriment of the
Boston & Albany, but there appears no better
foundation for the report now than heretofore.
1t said that the fastest time ever accom-
plished between Chicago and Boston is now reg
ularly made BY the limited express leaving Chi
cago at 3:21 P. NJ, via the Chicago q Grand
Trunk, New York West Shore & Buffalo and
Fitchbnrg railroads, less than thirty three hours
from Chicago to Boston being the time.
Trains on the Pittsburg, McKeesport &
Youghiogheny railroad commenced running into
New Haven, just opposite Connelsville, yester-
day. The completion of the line that far gives
the road better inlet to the coke region, and in
creases the facilities for doing larger business.
PASSENGER trains will be put on in few days
from PittSburg.

Rho Attempt TO Dismiss Her Husbands
Case Unsuccessful.


Yesterday Mr.. Oscar Clarke, brother Of
Erbert Clarke, came to the Court hous,
with a written report on the part of Mrs.
Clarke to the Clerk of Court, j. X.
Jeffrey, to dismiss her chancery case. He
was politely informed by Mr.. Jeffrey that
he could not do this without it was done by
direction of her solicitors.
Surprising she has no solicitors, what
them said Clarke.
In answer to that Mr.. Jeffrey said that
certain names appeared on the records as
her solicitors, and there was but two ways
u of this matter: One, if their appear
ance is withdrawn then he eau act as de-
sired, or if their should be a court soon
and that tribunal should direct q dismissal,
then, of course, it would be done. Clarke
went away and shortly returned with
another party with him and renewed his
request, and wanted the application filed.
This portion of this request was acceded
to and the paper was filed, but Mr.. JEFF
frey, as before, still refused to dismiss the
case, %whereupon Clarke called upon the
party who had accompanied him to the
Court hoLse to bear witness to the fact of
the refusal, and left very much displeased.

THE FESTIVAL.
A Very Enjoyable Affair at Keefe's
Hall.

On account of the inclemency of the
weather, there was a comparatively small
attendance at the festival held by the
ladies of the Methodist church, in Keefe's
hall last evening, but all who were there
went away feeling that they had spent a
very enjoyable evening. The refresh
ments consisted of ice cream, strawberries,
cake and coffee, and all of the very best.
1t is impossible to give the names of all
the ladies' taking an active part on this
occasion, but the reporter noticed that the
satisfactory manner in which things were
served was due greatly to the efforts of
the following named ladies: Mrs. Tuttle,
Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Helphenstine, who
had charge of the refreshments, with
Mrs. Reed and Mrs. DIR. Rocker at re-
freshment tables, also Mrs. Hoon and
Mrs. Thomas Durbin, assisted by Mrs.
W. d. Pease. Mrs. Carter and
Mrs. McGoon also had . charge
of tables, ably assisted by Miss Lusk
and Miss Ida MILFORD. Quite a
number of handsome bouquets and bask-
cts of flowers were displayed on the flower
table and seemed to change hands quite
rapidly. Another pleasant feature on this
occasion was themusic, the first being a cor
net and piano duet by Mrs. King and DIR.
Buchanan. All who have heard Mrs.
King, appreciate her great musical talent
as displayed in her performances on the
piano. DIR. Buchanan is a fine cornetist,
and his performances last night were duly
appreciated by those who heard him.
Miss HOLSTER. Mrs. King and Messrs. L.
A. Durbin and John NJ. McCandlish
formed a quartette, who, assisted by Prof
Inman at the piano, rendered several Sc
l%ections during the evening, which called
forth great applause, and were evidently
appreciated. The affair, while not the
success, financially, which could have been
wished, vet was much better attended
than was expected, owing to the weather,
so no one felt disappointed.

a LAMB.
Monstrous Freak of Nature in the Pos
session of DIR. GRAY.


Mr.. George L. Poland, of Egbert, yes
terday arrived in the city with a most re-
markable freak of nature in his possession,
which he turned over to DR.. A. Judson
Gray. The curiosity consists of what
might properly be called a compound lamb.
1t was born yesterday morning from a
perfectly formed mother which is about
FIVE years old. The freak possesses eight
perfectly formed legs, two separate and
distinct bodies, and a pair of necks which
together join the head close to the base of
the Uranium. The head itself, on front
view, shows well formed features. In ad-
dition to the pair of eyes in front it also
contains Il perfectly formed optic just back
of the left ear, with no corresponding eye
on the opposite side. Directly from the
back part of the head start out a pair of
well formed ears, which, although brought
into the closest opposition, are yet sepa-
rate and distinct. A few minutes after
the birth of the monstrosity the same
sheep gave birth to a perfectly formed
lamb, of larger than ordinary size, which
is now alive and well. DIR. Gray will pre-
serve the freak in a large jar filled with
alcohol, and those who desire to see it will
find it at Gray & Pearse's drug store.

The impression has somehow gone out,
that the union services in the Congrega-
tional church next Sunday evening are to
be exclusively for the Grand Army and to
zone Others. This is Il mistaken idea en-
tirely. The services are to be open to ev-
erybody for that matter. The only differ
ence there will be between the services to
be held on Sunday evening and ordinary
union services of all the churches is, that
the Grand Army is to attend in a body, in
full uniform, and probably some of the
hymns sung, as well as the sermon or ser
mons, will partake somewhat of a national
character.

The most jovial comedian on the stage,
Mr.. Nat Goodwin, will appear in the
Opera house this evening, and it will be
but a proper recognition of an accom-
plished actor if the theatre is filed to
overlooking. The play to be produced, is
called Confusion, and by every one who
has seen it it has been pronounced the
most ~extavagantly funny play on the
stage. Mr. Goodwin is well supported by
a first class company of comedians, and
the play will be produced here with the
same strength of cast as it was in Chicago.
People nowadays, who pay their money to
be amused, can always safely bank on Nat
Goodwin. He always gives $40 worth of
fun for a dollar, and the man who can sit
through one of his performances and fail
to enjoy it, does not exist in these United
States. A few choice reserved seats may
yet be secured at Rhodes & Troxell's drug
store.
