ACCORDING TO CONTRACT.

The Republican state committee will
meet to-day to elect Senator DAVIS
successor on the national Republican
committee. In ether words, the COM
mittee will probably meet to ratify what
is supposed to be the cut and dried ar
rangement between Senator DAVIS and
Secretary HEATwoLE, whereby the
former was to withdraw in order to
make place for the latter on the ma
uonai committee. 1t is possible, how
ever, that some other prominent Repub-
hcans may take it into their heads that
the Minnesota branch of the national
organization is not the private property
OF Senator DAVIS, and may seek TO in
validate Mr.. HEArwoLE's title to the
position.

An Incident Which Relieved the Mo,o..
Ony of Camn li6a

." A"c'oehe Which Relieved the Monot-
ony OF Camp Life.
When was in the army during the
winter OF 1862 we were camped Mt th..
upper end of Metairie ridge, some few
miles back of Carrollton, La. and som.
seven or eight from New Orleans
Toward Lake Pontchartrain there was
an almost impossible cypress swamp
ana on the river side wet sloughs. The
ridge was from quarter to a half
: Rdn mile in width and thickly settled.
tbere M sn"t ,vo purpose we had been camped
constitutions in the very hSS hol!!'ry !!'ry our
malarial production. The men were
giving way very fast, so that it was
impossible to make out picket detail
without taking men on the sick list.
just where our regiment was camped
the ridge was divided by bayou, and
back of us. across this bayou, was
camped probably thousand CONTRA
bands. The blacks were suffering
from fevers and other sickness and
dying off very fast, although they were
thoroughly acclimated under ordinary
circumstances. Our picket line was sta
toned just back of the contraband
camp in the edge of the swamp. but
what was expected to come through
this morass, except alligators and
other indigenous animals, is more than
we ever found out. Near the post oc-
cupying the northwest corner the con-
trabands buried their dead with all the
solemnlty and superstition of the
African nature. From comrades who
had been stationed on this post we had
been told of strange occurrences that.
in spite of the solemnity such things
usually inspire, would convulse US
with laughter.
One day after he was relieved. Joe
G. s. told us of an incident that
often recurs to me. The ground. as
every one knows, on the Mississippi
bottoms of Louisiana, is very low, and
at any time in q hole dug the water
will come very near the surface. 1t
was so with the graves dug by the con-
tr"bands; they would Immediately fill
with water to within few inches of
the top, which made it necessary to
put weights on the dead bodies in
order to sink them so they could be
covered. There was no such thing to
be had as cotlins, and the burials were
made in blankets.
just before night Joe saw q contra-
band funeral approaching his post and
through curiosity stopped to watch the
proceedings. The corpse was laid in
the grave and as it would not sink
heavy sods taken from the surface
We're placed on both head and feet.
While the body was slowly sinking the
venerable white-haired preacher was
exhorting the attendants and COM
mitting the body, '"Dust to dust.
just as they commenced throwing in
dirt. up dartcd the dead body, head
first. half way out of the grave, and
the last one of them ran away yelling.
Joe burst out laughing. as he saw that
the weight that had been placed on
the head of the body had slipped OF
and, of course, the buoyancy of the
water quickly forced the corpse into
an upright position.
1t was some time before the negroes
could be influenced to return and
complete their burial. They believed
there was something supernatural
about it, and no amount of talking
could convince them to the contrary.
