DEFBAuD1NG LABoRERs.-We learn from
the New Orleans papers that number of
excited laborers we're congregated at the
City Hall the other day, waiting to lay a
grievance before Mayor Guillotte They
claimed that they had been deceived by the
proprietor of hcLean's LABOR agency, So
; South Frant street, into going up to the
Ashton place, in st. Charles parish, on the
representation that workmen were wanted
there. They were charged 50 apiece for
transportation, when the real cost is only
80 cents, and were told vpen their arrival
that no hands were wanted and that Mr..
Mclean was not authorized to employ la
borers for the place. This is not the first
complaint we heard against city labor
agents, and we advise both workmen aud
employers in this section to seek employ
-ment and hands through local agency
that is well known to be thoroughly re-
liable-we refer to that conducted by Mr..
Patrick Reddipgton, proprietor of the
Mechanics Exchange in Donaldsonville.
This gentleman keeps well posted with ref
erence to labor demand and supply, and all
who deal with him may rest assured that
his information is reliable and his contracts
will always be faithfully executed.

KELLOGG WILL, CONTEST.

Congressman Kellogg has served notice
upon Mr.. Ell. Gay that he will contest
the right of the latter to occupy the seat of
Member Of the Forty. ninth Congress for
this district. The notice is described as a
lengthy and ably written document, con-
tanning number of allegations of violence,
bribery, intimidation and fraud practiced
in Mr.. Gays behalf.
It is said that the contestant has devoted
much time and energy to the preparations
essential to the prosecution of a thorough
and vigorous Congressional inquiry into
the conduct Of the campaign and election,
and is satisfied that he will be able to pro-
duce evidence of such gross misconductand
Irregularities on the part of his opponents
that no House of Representatives, however
partisan, can afford to ignore the showing
or to keep.in its midst member elected
by such methods.
The question as to whether Mr.. Gay or
Mr., Kellogg shall represent this district is
of far less importance than chat Of. assuring
to the people free and honest elections. If
Mr.. Gay can show that he is fairly entitled
to theseat, we hope to see his title to it vim
dicated and qnieted. IF, en- Che other hand,
it be demonstrated that he and his
-
agents influenced the result by foul and
corrupt means, he should not be allowed
to profit by the fraud, but should be per-
emptorily unseated, whether Mr.. Kellogg
be admitted in his stead or the election be
declared null and referred back to the peo-
ralo

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL. On Wednesday
and Thursday last festival was given at
Blue Bucket Hall, in this town, for the ben
eft of Blue Bucket Company, under the
auspices of a committee of colored ladies'
consisting of Mrs. Albert Armant, Mrs Eu-
gene Colwart Mrs. V. G. Gabrielle, Mrs,
Emanuel Bercier, Mrs. Jos. A. Duffel, Mrs.
Madison Carroll and Mrs. Celestin Fran
co.'s. The affair passed off in a most agreea-
BILE manner, the visitors deriving much en-
joyment from the music, dancing and re-
freshments provided for their edifcation,
and the results, financial and otherwise,
were such as to fully justify the expecta-
tions of the originators and managers of
the festival. Four prizes were disposed of
by rattle. at ten cents per chance, the lists
being circulated about town and readily
filled up. Strange to say every prize was
won by white person, as follows: A large
cake by Miss Bella Israel, with No. 100: a
second cake by Mr.. L. T. Duffel, with No.
SO; a fine wax doll by Mr.. F. P. Schiller,
with No. 56; fiuting iron by Mrs. Maurille
Braud, with No. 4. The futing iron was
presented to the ladies' committee by the
house of Mrs. Israel & Co., and the doll by
Cheap Tony. Mrs. G. Coughlin lastly
dressed the doll without charge. To these
parties and to all others who gave their pat
ronage and assistance the managers have
addressed a card of thanks which will be
found among the new advertisements in
another column. Blue Bucket Fire Com
pany certainly owes much to the kindness
and friendship of the ladies who devised
this very pleasant festival and conducted
it to such a successful conclusion, as it has
been the means of placing a neat little sum
in the treasury of the organization.
