Gen. Clark on Deck.

When Gen. Clarke reached this city
yesterday morning he first learned
that Joseph Langevin was to be tried
for insanity in Judge Mack's court.
He was on deck assisted by Judge
Hawley and ready for action when the
case was called, and although he had
but little time to collect witnesses, He
was at the side Of Langevin in good
shape and secured a triumphant &C.
quittal. Had Langevin been declared
insane his testimony would have been
stricken out of the Mint case and been
Of 10 use in finding the contempt

The defendants in these cases were

The APPEAL wants its distinctly un-
derstood that any persons whose
sympathies are with the Doodle gang
OF this county, will confer a favor on
the APPEAL by calling and ordering
their advertisements out Of the paper.
We do not want their patronage or
their business in any shape. As we
are not running a paper in their in
terests. We do not want their sur
port, nor do We expect it. The APPEAL
is in the fight to the finish and we
will not consider the fight over until
the bribers OF jurors and the corrupt
ers of witnesses are wearing the
stripes they have earned by their
dirty work in Ormsty.
This community will not be safe
until they are all cracking rock or Oh
the chain gang.
We welcome all the boycotts thew
can put on us. and if the fight don't
get smoking hot before it is over it
will be no fault Of ours.
It is a que ion OF whether we clean
the community of this rubbish or get
out ourselves, and We are willing to
play for the whole piece.
We also wish to extend our thanks
to many ladies end gentlemen in this
community, who yesterday sept this
office assurances of good will and
substantial support.
The quicker lhe de ent, self respect
ing element Of this community is
ranged in line against the rascals
who have fattend on it the better.
Let the lines be clearly drawn and

Ter of the Russ House has been
brought back to San Francisco by the

explanation to Mr.. Young. the man
he robbed, He said that n night he
suspected that the Euss House was to
be robbed so he took the 8 1000 and
ran away to San Jose under a n assum-
ed name, and spent the money in
order to protect Mr.. Young, the pro
prietOr Of the hotel.
This explanation fully equals that
made by Mr.. Coffin. the witness man
ipulator, in the Government case
He told the Court under oath that he
had sent Langevin money in order
hat he might send for his son and
bring him back as a witness. OF

Have the people of Bossier and
tho merchants of Shreveport ever
thought, or do they care to know,
the amount of trade they would
secore by bridging Bodcau near
Graham's crossing. l am reliably
Informed that bridge $50 feet long,
which could be built for 500, would
recure for the Cotton Belt railroad
500 bales of cotton the first year. A
bridge this length would afford
crossing for nine months out OF the
twelve. Why the Cotton Belt alone
would make a good investment in
the bridge, to say nothing of what
the parish and merchants OF Shreve-
port would contribute, and it has
been said, how true ! no not know,
that Shreveport was waking up to
such schemes to get new trade. This
trade would, l think, help Benton
greatly, as a direct road from Bodcau
would pass that place. Wouldn't
her merchants do something, what
do they say l hape the parties in
terested will investigate this and 60

The Tennessee Exposition.

ut Nashville is to throw open its gates
on the first day of May, 1897. With
out any aid from the State the bust
ness men and capitalist of Nashville,
backed by liberal county subscrip-
lions, have already made such head
way as to allow the confident predic-
ton in advance that the Tennessee
exposition will be the grandest dis
play of Southern enterprise and prog
ress yet presented to the country 1t
has assumed proportions not dream
cd of at first, and though nearly ten
months will elapse before the day
fixed for opening, several of the larg-
est buildings are nearly ready for the
receptions of exhibits. 1t is the pur-
pose of the managers to have the
exposition completed in oil respects
so that the earliest Corners may in.
spect all the exhibits. The exposi-
ton grounds are very extensive and
beautifully situated, while the build
ings are to be of a much more sub
stantial character than those at At
tanta. Tennessee is large, popu-
lous and productive State, and very
rich in lumber and minerals. With
the determination shown by its PEG.
pie, the exposition must prove o
credit to the State as we'll as of last
ing value. Nashville deserves praise
for the way in which it has pushed
the enterprise under the adverse
pressure of hard times, and the CON-
plote success of the exposition, which
seems to be now assured, will be q
monument to the public spirit OF its
people.
