One OF the Captursrs OF Lincoin's Assas-
sins Refused Compensation.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In the Senate
yesterday, Mr.. Manderson. from the Mill.
tary Committee. reported adversely upon
the petition of d ID. Dana, OF Massachusetts,,
for compensation for services rendered at
the time of the assassination of President
Lincoln. in aiding in the capture of the
assassins. The adverse report was based on
the fact that Dana, who was a lieutenant,
was only doing his duty in using his best
efforts in securing the arrest Of the assassin
of the Commander in-Chief of the army.
Dana states in his petition that on the night
of President Lincoln's assassination, he
went to the Surratt mansion. and found an
old man and an old woman. They would
tell nothing. but Dana says be took the old
man, put q rope around his neck and
hauled him up to the limb of tree; that
when nearly strsngled he confessed that
two men had stopped at the Surratt man
sion and that one Of them was very lame.
He told which way they had gone. Dana
followed up and he claims that through
the information be obtained, the assassin
was killed

explain what he meant when he said
that etrasts' are largely private affairs
with which neither Mr.. Cleveland nor
any other citizen can interfere , but
his explanation il far from satisfactory
and will help the Republican cause

Mr.. Blaine has a great weakness in his
heart for trusts, and car with difficulty
be restrained from speaking in their
favor. What he now says is, that
trusts are wholly State affairs with
which Congress aud the national gov
eminent have no concern. and which
they cannot reach. Mr.. Blaine as an
advocate of States rights is altogether
a novelty, and he is not likely to cut
much of a figure in this new role.
| That the answer is not satisfactory
even to the Republicans is proved by
| the fact that while the journals of that
party hasten to. r%epudiate his former
trust remarks, fearing that they would
hurt Harrison, few Of them print his
explanation and apology, being seem
ingly content to let things rest as they
are. Mr.. Blaine is not cutting much Of

An earnest effort is being made by
his constituents to induce Mr.. Gay to
reconsider his determination and re-
turn to Congress. 1t is hoped that the
numerous letters and petitions being
presented to him may have the desired
effect. Mr.. Gay has made a most able

place.-Daily Adrocate.

by the entire State as one of our most
progressive parishes, has dropped into

to show that its people are awake and

TT WILL BE GAY.

Ere the SENTINEL appears before its
readers again the nominating conven-
ton of this congressional district will
have met, transacted its business and
adjourned. There a be no doubt
that its nomination will be rendered to
the Hon. E. j. Gay, our present worthy
Representative and it is generally
believed that Mr.. Gays patriotism will
induce him to lay aside all personal
considerations and yield to the wishes
of his constituents.
With Mr.. Gay as our standard bear
er, success is I beyond the shadow
of doubt. Indeed, it is reasonably
believed by some that the Republicans
will not even put up an opposing can
didate against him, so strong do they
feel him to be in the district.

A Story Of Joe Jefferson.

When Jefferson was playing his ia

Ing an engagement at St. Louis, he
n night went to the theatre tired b,
a long days journey. The curtain rose
on the third act and disclosed him deep
IN his twenty years nap. Five, ten
minutes elapsed, but he did not awake.
The audience grew impatient. At
length the gallery waxed uprorious
and yelled their delight, and one of
them inquired "if there was going to
be nineteen years more Of this sieep-
ing business" Still jefferson slept on
and actually snored. Opening a small

see him tumble in his pocket for an
imaginary railway ticket and hear him

or" OF course this brought down

LET HdRlfONT PRETIIL.


The Democratic Executive Commit
tee by a vote Of 16 to 3 appointed
twenty-eight delegates to represent
this parish at the coming Congress
sional Convention. In these twenty
eight delegates were included the
eighteen chosen at the last primary
election.
The SENTINEL has already expressed
it's views upon this action OF the COM
mittee. Believing it to be in the right
and to have done naught else but ex-
excised an undOubted power fully
within the scope Of its prerogatives, it
has taken the occasion to approve the
action of the committee and to COM
mend its moderation III retaining, in a
spirit Of Cancellation and harmony, the
eighteen original delegates. @
1t is to be regretted, therefore, that
in certain quarters an attempt has
been made-but without the slightest
success, however-to create the impress
sion that the action ofthe committee was
the result of factional bias, in order, it
is presumed, to prejudice the people
and the convention against the COM
mittee.
The SENTINEL, without wishing to
assume the role of apologist of the
committee-which needs no apology
knowing as it does the men who
composed the committee, the proxies
as well as the members acting in their
proper persons, and believing them to
be men who would act under such cir
cumstances with no other motive than
the desire to subserye the best inter
ests of their constituents-the people
denOunces any such assertion of
factional intent Dr. bias in the action of
the committee as utterly unfounded
in fact. And as the proof
thereof it appeals to the resolutions
and the action of the committee itself.
If animated by such bitter factional
feeling and partisan bias as some
would lead the people to believe, why
should the committee have been so So
licitous about retaining the original
eighteen delegates against whom, it is
wrongfully alleged, its action was di-
rectedf
The sole question presenting itselffor
solution is n Of party discipline and
usage, and there is no reason for in
fusing into it a dash of partisanship
which can do no good to the general
public. Did the old committee have a
right to bind and tie up the present
committee by its resolutions of 1887,
calling an election for delegates? If
it possessed that right, then this COM
mittee had no power to appoint those
t~wenty-eight delegates. If it did not
have that right, then this committee
acted within its jurisdiction in naming
the said delegates. !,
