to the glimmering and magnificent re-

which was not highly interesting.
AT o'clock I'm the morning the three

bugles sounded through each brigade

which was in reality the feature of the
day, az 1t was the first division drill
that has been conducted since the close
of the rebellion. The maneuvres were
as well executed as they were brilliant
and General Snowden was highly COM
plimented for his bold innovation. The
heavy masses of troops as the entire

the generals headquarters were viewed
with interest by the regular army Of

CONSUMED OVER AN HOUR.

CONSUMED OVER AN HOUR.
The maneuvres consumed little over
an hour and We're highly commented
on by Colonel Sumner. of the Sixth
United States cavalry. who represents
the war department in camp. He said
that he had never before seen a divi-
sion drill and the celerity with which
they maneuevered was amazing to him.
He had not believed that the move
ments could have been executed in less
than twice the time actually consumed
and he was thoroughly delighted at
witnessing such an exhibition Of ef-
ficency.
AS the various commands marched
back to their quarters for dinner, the
great crowd of visitors spread through
the camp, either I'm picnic parties or
lunching in the mess tents of the vari-
Gus commands. But even then. there
was little let up to the entertainment,
for after a drill full of exciting pistol
and sabre charges by Captain Vests
troop G, of the Sixth United States
cavalry, Lieutenant Brooks famous
Troop II, of the same regiment, was Or
dered out in front of division head
quarters and gave one of their great
hurdle and bareback riding exhibitions.
AS the troop galloped back to their
quarters Captain Lancaster came out
with his crack Battery G. of the Third
artillery, United States army, and gave
a fancy drill which was greeted with
generous applause.

A Paris medical journal states that
on opening short time ago the will Of
a Partisan the following clause was
found: 81 request that my body be de-
livered to the Paris Gas company for the
purpose Of being placed in retort. I
always used my mental powers for the
enlightenment Of the population at
large, and desire that my body be used
to enlighten the people after my death. -
Squire Eawley of the village of Hat

day and was buried in his own garden
in the center of the graves of his cattle,
that had died during tho rinderpest.
He was laid out in full lnnting Co.'S

A PRETrY STATE OF THINGS.
Comes Of an Attempt to Prevent American
Citizens from Voting.


Citizens from Voting.
At H:31 last night the town was quiet.
Armed squads were on duty at every road
entering the place and the court house
was q perfect arsenal. The Washington,
Ia, boys, thirty strong, who came down
to fight with the citizens against tho
regulars, have hurried home. A courier
brings the news that Washington is be-
ing surrounded, and that the regulars are
creating consternation among the inhabi-
tants of Bellairc Cave All day long
there has not been a state or parish Off
ccr-not even n constablc-n town. 1t
is impossible for n town to be in q more
martial state. 1t is believed now shat tho
regulars will not come into town until
this morning.
There ere 10 armed men waiting for
them. The district attorney has sent word
that his regulars will enter town
today and that he has twenty
Winchesters at his back to say:
mo negro shall vote" If ever situation
demanded the presence of militia the sit
uation in this city demands it. The anti
regulars declare they will hold the court
housc If its halls run with blood. The
regulars have moved back n mile or two
in the comfy from King bridge.
The trouble in Opelousas grew out OF
the effort on the part of white Democrats
to prevent registration of negroes. A
military company was sent there and the
negro men registered. They are in the ma
jority and the movement of the regulars,
or white supremacy crowd, now is in.
tended to prevent the negroes from voting
today.
1t is stated positively that one regular
ALICE Reed-was killed and another
mortaliy wounded in tho skirmish at
Durio's, three miles from here.
