KINGS DAUGHTERS.
The Piano Recital given BY Miss
Katie Matthaei, under the auspices Of
the Kings Daughters, attracted to Eel
lers Opera House last night an assem-
blage that was refined, intelligent and
appreciative. The Opera House was
filed to its utmost capacity, and from
the beginning to the conclusion Miss
Matthaei and her assistants, Misses
Flick, Wisner and Houseworth and
Professors Herman and Brockenshire
executed the excellent program with
out an error. Everyone was delighted,
and our city is very proud Of having
within its limits such accomplished
musicians.
The vocal solos were all enjoyed and
applauded. The violinist elected much
favorable comment, especially from the
musicians in the audience. Miss Mat
thaei is an artist, in love with her in
strument. An announcement Of any
concert in which she is TO appear will
always insure crowded house.
There were two hundred and forty
nine tickets sold, two hundred and
twelve being for reserved seats. The
hospital fund, as will be observed to
the credit Of the Kings Daughters, is
increasing steadily.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 80. Tho death Of
Mrs. II. Newell Martin, wife ofProf. II.
Newell Martin, of the Johns Hopkins
University, which occurred recently,
has doubtless brought to the minds Of
many wartime residents in Baltimore
her connection with the marriage, as it
has been termed of the words Of the
stirring stanzas of /" Maryland, My
Marylandr' to music.
When the poem was published in
April, 1861, Mrs. Martin, then Miss
Hettie Cary, was living in Baltimore
with her father, Colonel Wilson Miles
Cary, who was an ardent Southerner,
his house being headquarters for the
sympathizers Of the South living in
Baltimore. A glee club held q meet
ing At Colonel Cary's residence one
night in June, 1861. Miss Jennie Cary
was especially desirious Of making this
meeting a notable success, and was
anxious to secure some new collection
Of words that would suitably enable
all to voice those feelings that then
possessed them. She searched in every
literary nook and corner, but in vain.
Mrs. Martin then came to the rescue
with the suggestion that the words Of
Maryland, My Maryland which by
that time constituted the chief mental
pabulum Of the Southerners, be adapt
ed to some music. To render the sug-
gestion the more impressive. Mrs. Mar
tin acclaimed the verses. In a mo-
ment her sister exclaimed Lauriger
Horatius,n the well known college song
that has resounded from the musical
and unmusical throats Of almost every
college boy. Thus the words found
Immortal voice IN song. and the night
Of the meeting Of the club, when Miss
Cary's voice cemented this union, every
one present leaped to their feet, and
made the bnilding ring with the great
hymn.
Later on, during the war Mrs. Mar
tin, with Miss Jennie Cary and broth
err, went South, and did not return
until after, the war. On their way
through Virginia, memorable scene
occurred at Manassas, where they had
stopped for the night. During the
night they were serenaded by the cele.
brated Washington Artillery, Of New
Orleans. When the band ceased play
ing, voice exclaimed Let's hear a
woman's voice Y And Miss Jennie
Cary, standing in the tent door, sang
Ny Maryland.
/ " This" to use Mrs. Martins own
words recently, twas the birth of the
song in the army The refrain was
speedily taken up and tossed back
from hundreds of rebel throats There
was not dry eye in the tent, and, we
were told the next day, not a cap with
a rim on it in camp. Nothing could
have then kept the verses from living
and growing into power. To us fell
the happy chance Of first giving them
voice"

Lottery Withdrawn.

John A. Morris has written an
open letter to the people of Louis
lana announcing his withdrawal of
the proposition he had made for a
lottery charter. This announce
ment has created considerable ex-
element in the McEnery ranks as
the withdrawal of the lottery pro-
position means defeat and ruin to
the entire McEnery faction.
AS to the amendment it has to
be voted upon, it has been ordered
by the Legislature, and will be
voted upon whether Mr.. Morris
accepts or not. This withdrawal
will not end the fight as some per-
sons seem disposed to believe, the
fight will be carried up to the
election, or until the withdrawal
of McEnery.

the number of negroes who would
call to vote would be apparently
small, at enc poll, when it is con-
sidered that there will be from Is
to 20 polling booths in the parish
at the next election, if they would
succeed in passing onl y the small
number of 10 negroes at each poll,
it would make in round number,
$50 or 300 votes, which would give
them the parish, and elect every
McEnery candidate. This was
certainly a shrewd move but still
born. Had the scheme worked, it
would have forced the Fosterites
to refuse to let the negroes vote
which would give them good
ground for contes, or if they we're
allowed to vote, would give them
a majority in the parish. But TN.
fortunately for the promoters OF
the scheme, the plot was discover
ed in time to prevent its consum.

An Exploded Scheme.

We said in our last issue that
The McEneryites of this parish
were sounding the grounds to see
as to the possibility of voting the
negroes ut the coming election.
The information we obtained last
week we believe to be from relia-
BILE persons, and we believe the re-
port is correct, since it has been
corroborated by similar report
coming from another part of the
parish.
The second information we
learned from a gentleman who we
have every reason to believe as
true and correct. The gentleman
told us i'll presence of reliable gen.
tlemen that one night last week
one of the leading Regulators, who
is now a pronounced McEneryite
and actively engaged in the pre-
sent campaign, was discovered in
negro cabin, entertaining two
negroes, trying to induce and per-
suade them to vote at the coming
election.
After the past regulator, pre-
sent McEneryite and future poll
tician and negro protector had
concluded his arguments to i'm
press upon the minds of his black
fellow-citizens the idea of taking a
hand at the coming election, one
of the negroes-qui a eu peut-etre
sa meule piquee--answered in a
half inquisitive way, 'mais quec
ca vent dire y quec temp d'ca
vous auto ia pc tue ct fouette ne
gre ye pou peche We vote, ct as

quec Ga vent dire, y a quec chose
fadsous, sure" Undoubtedly
there is something under that, if
the reports are correct, and we be-
lieve they are; and as far as we
can see through the thing, the
plan is this: the idea is to in
duce say s or 10 negroes to vote
their ticket at each polling booth,
and if the Fosterites would object
to their voting it would give them
a good ground for a contest and
cry fraud and intimidation, and as
