To get a sweet and cooling drink.

Sinking in the glowing west;
Then the dew your lips will wet,
Tender little violet.
IlinexciUe Gazette: A great excitement
was occassioued among* the colored peo
ple last Wednesday, by the report that a
murder had been committed about two
miles below No. 3, A. tfc G. R. R. The
coroner summoned a jury and held an
inquest, when the following facts came
to light: A quarrel arose between Pri
mus Wilson and his wife, both colored;
and after some sharp words, she attempt
ed to strike him. He tripped her up and
put his knees on her. She must have
been injured by the fall, for she died in a
few moments. Primus Wilson is about
niuety years old, and his wife was but a
few years his junior.
Extract from the note-book of an
Augusta reporter. He stood in the midst
of a motley crowd on Broad street, draw
ing lugubrious sounds from a dilapidated
violin, while three gaunt spectres, want,
and misery, and despair, stared him
blankly in the face. His pinched little
wife stood by his side and rattled monot
onously a battered tambourine as a sort
of accompaniment to the asthmatic
violin. Both bore that unmistakable
stamp of poverty which words cannot
describe. He and she were only poor
wamlerers. None knew who they were
or whence they came, or whither they
were bound. The crowd gazed with
that idle curiosity which a crowd has on
such occasions, while the unknown mu
sician seemed drawing his very life
blood from the worn strings. Perhaps,
who knows, he too had seen sunshine and
gladness iu some far away land; perhaps
the sad eyed little woman at his sido bad
been young and pretty and happy in the
by-gone days. But together stood the
pair in the early infancy of the New Year,
playing for the pennies which did not
come; hoping for the better things w hich
seemed so far distant: People talked
around them in a strange tongue, but
they heeded not. The doleful notes
sounded from the violin and the old tam
bourine clattered. Men stopped and
listened and passed on; women
asked curiously what the noise meant.
The strange pair looked neither to the
right nor the left. The three spectres
stood before them and they played
with a sort of mad hope that the music
would dim the phautoms away. But
they stirred not. The crowd surged
around the man and the woman, blind
to that which they saw. Men jested and
laughed, and still the sounds from violin
and tambourine floated out on the damp
and chilly air. Children shivered as they
heard them, and drew their garments
closer about them. The very notes from
the skc-leton-like instruments seemed
laden with iceness and chilled as they fell
upon the ear. Weird aDd ghostly they
ttetted through the air and died away
with sobs iu the distance. Presently the
musician put up his bow, the sad woman
stopped her accompaniment, and the two
moved off to try their fortune at another
corner.

J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR.
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1875.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
A correspondent of the Tallahassee
Floridian complains of lauded lunatics
who refuse to sell their land at reasona
ble prices.
Alluding to the proposed revision of
the Constitution of Florida, the Floiddian
says: We know of no general expres
sion on the subject, but there is pretty
general satisfaction with the Constitution
as it stands, and there are now several im
portant amendments pending before the
Legislature. These amendments look to
biennial sessions of the Legislature and
changes in the judiciary system, with a
view' of lessening the expenses of the
government, besides other changes in
reference to impeachments, pledging the
State’s credit, <fcc., which will improve the
instrument much. But that feature of the
Constitution which the j\cics refers to was
attempted to be altered by the last Legisla
ture,but the proposed amendment making
all officers elective by the people failed to
pass by the necessary vote. While such
a provision is altogether anti-Republican
in principle, it becomes doubly obnox
ious and oppressive in the hands of such
Governors as Florida ha^ had since 1808.
The provision was purp'osely inserted iu
the constitution that carpet-baggers might
monopolize all the offices, and that the
Governor might be all powerful about
election times. Really, under the con
stitution, the Governor can remove
no officer, except a Justice of the
Peace, without cause, but practically
such officers as County Commission
ers, the most important to the country,
are nipped up whenever the Governor or
any of his coterie of friends has a purpose
to serve. And it is notorious that under
the power of appointment possessed by
the Governor, important offices are being
constantly filled by persons totally incorn
potent to comprehend the simplest duties,
to say nothing of the selfish use made of
the power in advancing personal for
tunes. Our Constitution has had tv.o
attempts at patchwork, and there
are many who do not believe in
this tinkering business, notwithstanding
the expense attending a convention, to
frame a new instiument as a basis of
future unity among the people, justice to
the people and the advancement and
prosperity of all. But the question of
expense in assembling a convention will
not be permitted to defeat the object
when the people demand a wholesale
change. As yet no such demand has
been made, though there is wide-spread
dissatisfaction wuh the Constitution as
it stands, and some opposition to the
manner in which objections to it are be
ing disposed of.
A New Device for Raising Money.—
The New* York Tribune gives the particu
lars of an ingenious device for raising
money lately developed in Brooklyn. It
says :
“ Some years ago Mr. Silas C. Herring
bought a lot of unimproved land in Brook
lyn for a small sum of money. After
wards, the location of the park iu close
proximity gave the property a higher
value for a time, but as the park ap
proached completion the prices became
settled and fixed. Finally. Mr. J. Nelson,
of Brooklyn, agreed to become the pur
chaser of the laud for the sum of $45,000,
but insisted in making out the deed,
that the consideration should be placed
at $100,000, as be might want to
sell the property, and he did not want
the actual price to appearand thedeed was
so made out. Meanwhile, Nelson went
to the Presidant of the Knickerbocker
Life Insurance Company and solicited
the loan of $70,000 on a piece of property
which he valued at $100,000. The deed
w’fts examined, and being found as repre
sented, he was informed that the com
pany’s appraiser would examine the prop
erty, and if he thought it w’orth w'hat it
was estimated at the loan would be made.
The appraiser w’as then referred to seve
ral gentlemen by Nelson, and the result
was that it was reported to the company
that the property which Mr. Herring
thought ho was selling at a good prico for
$45,000 was worth from $100,000 to
$130,000. The company’s lawyer’s drew
up the necessary papers, a mortgage of
the property was assigned to the com
pany, Mr. Neilson received the $70,000,
of which he paid $45,000 to Mr. Herring,
who was perfectly well satisfied with the
bargain, and the remaining $25,000 he of
course retained. This transaction oc
curred three nionthk ago, and the first
payment of interest wiil fall due about
April 1, 1875. Of course, if interest is
not paid, and it is probable it will not be.
the company wrill be at the expense of
foreclosure proceedings, and the property
will be sold at auction.
Revival of the Sugar Interest in
Louisiana.—Sufficient data has been ob
tained to warrant the statement that the
sugar yield in Louisiana the past season
w’as 140,000 hogsheads, worth in round
numbers $100 a hogshead, artd 200,000
barrels of molasses, worth $24 a barrel,
makiug a total of $-<3,800,000. In the
parish of Ascension, upon sixteen acres
of ground, w’orked by two negroes, 72,-
000 pounds of white sugar and 100 bar
rels of molasses, bringing $8,100, were
produced. A Scotch planter, Mr. Burn
sides, working in the same parish lands
formerly belonging to Gen. Wade Hamp
ton and Senator Preston, made 5,000
hogsheads of sugar aud 8,000 barrels of
molasses, yielding in all, $01)2,000 on an
investment of $140,000. He worked
about five hundred hands.
Movement to Prevent Incendiary
Fires.—The frequency of late of incen
diary fires has induced the Boston Fire
Underwriters Union to take steps to
remedy the evil by preventing them if
possible, or devising means to detect the
guilty parties. The movement has re
sulted in the appointment of Detective
Bagiev to investigate the origin of all
tires, and report to a committee of the
union. This is .irrespective of whether
claims for losses are made on the compa
nies or not, and is in the event of fires
the causes for which are not satisfactorily
explained to the committee, the adjust
ment of losses to be suspended for fur
ther investigation by the companies.
Much is expected from the arrangement.
Chicago holds up its hands in horror at
the antics of a wealthy woman who went
to church drunk, and was so unruly in
her responses in the Episcopal ser\icu
that she had to be led out. It was after
wards explained that she had taken
brandy medicinally, but the doubters will
scoff.
Gerrit Smith's will, which has been in
existence this twenty years without ma

his entire property to his wife. The other
half ho divided between his two children.
Col. Greene Smith and Mrs. Charles 1 >.
Miller. The estate is worth about $2,-

An Albany country girl disobeyed her
father in the choice of a lover, and he
whipped her with a dogwood stick. The
wood was poisonous, and the stern
parent’s hands are swollen like boxing
gloves, all of which reads like a triumph
for Cupid.
Miss De Montford. the mesmerist, has
come to grief. In Westfield, Massachu
setts, her agent hired four fellows to per
form as subjects, and they went through
the antics as instructed; but they could
get no pay for their services, and have
published a card explaining the fraud.

New York, January 7.—The Times siys :
“8ueh a d»&pateh as that which General
Sheridan sent to the {Secretary of War on
Tuesday is not warranted by any facts
known to the public, and could scarcely be
warranted under any conceivable circum
stances. We have never published such a
document before, and we must say, that
nothing like it lias been seen in a country un
der a constitutional government. ’ It
almost induces one to believe that
the world has gone bvck two
three hundred years in the theory and
practice of government. Cromwell did
indeed serve Ireland pretty much as Gen
eral Phil Sheridan proposes to treat Louisi
ana. but the most of us were uuder the im
pression that that system of government
liad been definitely abandoned. We are at
a loss to make out what a e General Smi i-
dan’s ideas of the Constitution uuder which
he lives, or of the functions of Congress, or
of the powers which may rightfully be
exercised by a Lieutenant General
the army. There is a shorter cut still
which General ttlieridau might have recom
mended. It is for the President to declare
the Constitution and all its amendments
annulled, shut up Congress, put down all
newspapers, aud then proclaim himself Dic
tator, with General She idan as his sole
minister and chief executioner. If General
Sheridan had advised this course at once he
would scarcely have shown greater igno
rance or disregard of law than he has done
in his most extraordinary,auu we must add,
disgraceful dispatch of January 5.
TUE SITUATION IN NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, January 7.—The Clerk of
the former House, who was placed by rorce
in the present House, says fbefore the Con
gressional Committee) that uuder General
DeTrobiand’s protection he was so confused
lie could not keep a proper tally.
Gov. Kellogg, in his evidence, narrated
surprising incident, which he said has been
brought to his knowledge iu such a manner
that he was bound to pay some regard to
it, namely: a plot to a-sassinate the Presi
dent, the conspirators iu which were to
reudtzvous at Baltimore. He exonerated
the White League from any connection with
this plan, which he believed was confined to
a lew visionaries.
The meeting of the Bank Presidents and
Cashiers resolved that they read with pro
found regret aud surprise Gen. Sheridan’s
dispatch to the Secretary of War. They
protest against his assertions as unfounded
in fact, and brand them as becomes loyal
citizens.
The city is quiet. The Kellogg Legisla-
tnie is iu session with no quorum m the
Senate.
Washington,January 7.—Dispatches from
Radical sources urge the seating of Piuch-
back aud the informal recognition of the
Kellogg government by Congress in ad
vance of the committee’s report. It is stated
that the Louisiana office-holders are afra d
of the committee.
AFFAIRS IN SPAIN.
London, January 7.—A dispatch to the
Telegraph says Castelar is preparing to quit
Spain before Alfonso’s arrival.
Two Protestant newspapers have been
suppressed in Madrid.
iviug Alfonso has sent a telegraphic dis
patch to Conovas Del Lello confirming the
Ministerial appointments, and expressing a
hope that there will now be inaugurated au

of past difficulties.
Paris, January 7.—King Alfonso’s sister,
the Countess of Girgenti, accompanies him
to Spain.
Madrid, January 7.—One thousand Sp iti-

A REPUBLIC MASS MEETING.
New York, January 7.—A call for a Re
public Mass Meeting has been issued iu
this city to protest against the action of the
military in iho organization of the Louis
iana Legislature. Wm. Cullen Bryant heads
the list of signers, followed by other
promiiunt citizens, members of Loth po
litical parties. It sets forth that the liber
ties of the people ot the State of Louisiana
have been violated by military force under
command of the General Government, and
that it is imperative that the voice of
the people of this city and State should be
heard iu a public protest. The meeting will
he held some evening of next week either at
the large hall of Cooper Union or at the
Academy of Music.
FRENCH POLITICS.
London, January 7.—The Times’ Paris
dispatch says: As it is well known that a
dissolution of the Assembly would render
MacMafiou very popular .and influence the
general elections in favor of his govern
ment, the President will very probably break
off negotiations with the Left and form a
dissolution ministry, comprising the Duke
de Broglie, M. Fourtou, M. de Peyre, Gen
eral Cissey, and the Dukes de Cazes and
D’Audiffoct Pasqnier.

Plucky Young Ladies.—The Cumb. r
land (Md.) Metre says a committee of
three young ladies, Miss Kate Long, Miss
Maggie Gramlich and Miss Maggie Rich-
art. waited on Mr. Wm. Kempoff, of that
city, and requested a donation for a fair
then being held, to which he consented
on condition that the ladies named would
roll a barrel of flour, which he would
present, from his store to the hall where
the fair was being held, and in case they
failed to do so, they were to pay a forfeit
of one dollar each. The ladies accepted
the proposition, and at the appointed
time they were on hand, and the barrel
being brought out, the trio started with
the prize, which they successfully “rolled”
to its destination, to the amusement of a
crowd of spectators. Previous to the
ladies appearing for the contest Mr.
Kempoff had prepared a barrel for the
occasion, by placing some flour, meal and
stones in it, and in the meantime for
warded to the hall the barrel of flour,
which was so fairly won by the ladies.
OUR FLORIDA LETTER.
THE LOUISIANA INFAMY.
.Hatter* iu and Arouud Jacksonville— I
Political Note*.
[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.]
Jacksonville, January G.
We in Florida are patiently and hope
fully waiting the promised results of the
great Democratic tidal wave, which sub
merged the North and East and West.
Slowly but surely the sovereign people
are awaking to the situation: the South
ern States are reconstructing themselves,
and now but two—these by fraud—are
under Radical rule.
Walls, the present and certified Con
gressman elect, is a decent, youngish
mulatto, of some education, not pecu
liarly offensive, but ambitious. He claims
nomination and election on account of
color. As an overseer or porter he would
probably be a success, but as a Repre
sentative of one hundred thousand people
he is not, nor can he be. If unseated,
he will relapse into his original ob
scurity.
THE UNITED STATES SZNATORSHIP.
As I stated before, we expect a Democrat
ic majority on joint ballot in the Legisla
ture which ought to insure a Democratic
or Liberal Senator. Of course there are
man}’ candidates embracing the old and
the new men, but I rather think that the
successful candidate will be one who has
not been prominently identified w ith Did
or new parties—in fact, the people want
as their representative in Washington a
live man, who knowing their wants will
advocate them. Florida is peculiar in
this, while ancient in point of time, yet
new in reference to development, the
most Southern State, a peninsular bound
ed by the gulf and the Atlantic with a
large shore line, the State should have a
most liberal expenditure for light houses
for harbor and internal navigation. The
West has been very liberally provided for.
Pensacola has her forts and navy yard,
Apalachicola her public buildings, St.
Marks a hospital, and Tallahassee
has the Capital. Now in the pro
gress of events Fernaudina and Jackson
ville have become the commercial centers
or gates of Florida, aud our people are
satisfied that the agricultural, commercial
aud real estate interests of East Florida
should have influence in the National
Councils. I hear that some correspond
ent from Tallahassee has stated that the
East has had more than its share of offi
cers. Now, let us see, since 18G8, (that
is since the new order of things have
ruled,) we have had Welch, United States
Senator, a Michigan man, for four
months, Osborn, a New York man, Gil
bert, from New Y’ork, Conover, from
New Jersey. These men are all carpet
baggers, and in no way represent the
East or West. Of the Supreme Court
Judges, Wescott is the only Floridian,
and he is from the Middle. Fraser. Van
Valkenburgh and Randall, are all new
men, imported. Reid, Governor, a Wis
consin man, Stearns, a Massachusetts
man, Hart being the only Floridian.
The new Senator who is to succeed Gil
bert, who is from the East—aud without
reference to special candidates naturally
a man from the East, should be selected.
Now who shall it be, a partisan politician,
or a sensible non-partisan man, who is
identified with the country.
I think that such a man will be found
at the right time, and I think I can guess
the man now’.

IZENS.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
The United States Court, State Circuit
Court and the County Court are in full
blast, and the law’yers, jurors, witnesses
and loungers are full of business. I note
that the juries are rather better than
heretofore. Iu the United States Court
some tax titles have been tried, and
original owners have recovered. Iu the
case of Collector Jenkins his bondsmen
were held liable for the defalcation of
some $22,000; but the verdict has been
set aside.
Oranges, lemons and citrons are being
shipped rapidly; prices good,and will ag
gregate a large sum.
The lumber busiaess is dull, only three
or four mills running, yet mill owners are
hopeful and expect to soon resume op
erations.
General Sanford lias returned from
Europe, and brings a large variety of the
citrus family, which he proposes to in
troduce. He has a large grove near Mel-
lonville whiciPas flourishing.
Many persons on the river and line of
railroads are planting vegetables, and so
far everything looks well. We have now’
in market tomatoes, cucumbers, beets,
carrots, peas ; in fact, we can raise vege
tables every month in the year.
Balmy, sunny, bright, warm, no rain,
no frost, bright moon, und everything
lovely. Serenades aud boa4iug parties
are the order of the day, or rather of the
night.
Our stores, from the gay to the severe,
are spreading themselves. The pruden'
housekeeper keeps vigilant watch over
the poultry, and the hungry colored man
keeps an eye on the chicken coops and
the surroundings.
Our merchants are encouraged, and are
keeping up their stocks. The suicidal
policy of the railroads prevents Jackson
ville from trading with the interior, but
this cannot last long; Jacksonville is nat
urally the metropolis of Florida, as Sa
vannah is of Georgia, or Charleston of
South Carolina.
Mrs. Lincoln is here, but in strict ,
seclusion. Distinguished Americans aud
Europeans come and go without any par
ticular heralding. If the King of the
Cannibal Islands puts in an appearance
we will give him a hearty welcome.
We naturally look to Georgia for politi
cal demonstrations. In fact, Georgia hns
always at the right time and in the right
place, taken a sure position, whicji has
resulted favorably.
Crops, on the whole, have been first
rate. Corn extra: river crops good; and
cotton above the average. Middle and
West Florida raise their own bread anti
meat, aud to spare.
The Tocoi Railroad is now thoroughly
overhauled: new ties, *fcc., and solid T
rail laid. Capt. Denning succeeds Maj.
Westcott as Superintendent. The Major
has got a scheme for navigation to Augus
tine and the Southern coast: a good idea
and feasible, with little money.
There seems to be a general disposition

ITEMS AROUND TOWN.
Jacksonville, in consequence of its be -
ing a resort, is fast attracting different
schemes. Hence we have already those
particularly fascinating games called
pitch, poker, keno. &c., and John Morri-
sey is expected daily to open his club,
where the tiger will be shown in all its
native ferocity.
There have been several marriages of
late—one or two where the consent of
the parents was not given. However, I
believe the young people have made it
all right, but I prophecy that in a year
or two the young brides will be sorry.
We have all kinds of churches, and an

A Delicate Relationship.—A Rich
mond female darkey said in court
Wednesday morning that the children of
her Mississippi husband were the half
children of her Virginia husband, and
“she Intended to make ’em both half
’sponsible for dar vittals.” The court
rendered no decision, but took time to
consider.
New Orleans, January 3.—The* members
of the Legislature have assembled in the
hall of the H -use, aud are the un*st orderly
body of legislator*, so far, that has assem
bled in Louisian* for many years. Mer-srs.
Foster aud Phelps, of the Congressional
Committee, have just entered the hall of the
House, and were seated near the reporter’s
desk, declining seats on the plat
form. The chief clerk called the House
to order and proceeded to call the
roll. After finishing and announcing
that there were 102 members present,
and a quorum, a motion wvs immediately
made that Hon. L. A. Wiltz, of Orleans,
be made temporary chairman. Mr. Wiltz
immediately took the chair. Here the ut
most coofuslon prevailed. The Speaker ap
pointed a Sergeant-at-arms, and a tempor
ary clerk was appointed. Several motions
were here made aud the confu-ion increase* 1,
about fifty members yelling at the top
of their voices. Finally order was restored,
and the chairmau made a speech stating
that he would recognize all members of
whatever party or color.
Colonel Lowell protested against the man
ner of the temporary organization. Speaker
Wiltz replied that the manner of organiza
tion was identical with that of 1868, in w hich
Mr. Lowell participated. Five members not
returned by the Board were declared by a
resolution members of the House, and took
their seats. Order now (1 p. m.) is partially
restored.
A SPEAKER AND CLERK ELECTED AND THE
RADICAL MEMBERS SECEDE.
A motion was then made to go into a per
manent organization. This raised a corn-
mot iqu among the Republicans, but when
the further motion was made to seat mem
bers from contested parishes, the excite
ment, accompanied with shouts and excla
mations, was fearful.
Mr. Murnll protested against Mr. Wiltz
as chairman, and stigmatized the course
pursued in placing him there as revolu
tionary.
The motion was then put to admit mem
bers from four contested parishes, reserv
ing the matter of contest for the Legisla
ture, aud it was carried amid the wildest
excitement and gesticu’fttious upon the
Radical side. To such a point did the ex
citement reach, that the Sergeant-at-Arms
was called upon to seat members and pre
serve order. The newly declared members
from the contested parishes in question,
viz.: Bienville, Winn, DeSoto and Grant,
were then duly sworn iu by thd Speaker.
A motiou was tlieu made to adjourn, upon
which the yeas aud nays were not in order
till such time as a permanent organization
had been effected, and they had not yet
arrived at that point. The motiou was then
put aud carried, with great shouting and
excitement, to go into permanent organiza
tion. L. A. Wiltz and ei-Gov. Hahn ac
cordingly were put in nomination.
Before the clerk proceeded to call the roil
Mr. Matthews moved, from his seat, thut
Mr. Lowell bo elected permanent Speaker.
This raised a storm in the House, but a
motion to eleet a permanent Speaker viva
voce being out of order, the Speaker so an
nounced, and quieted the House down, aft* r
co isider&blo muscular exertion. The roll
call then commenced amid yells from the
Radical side.
When the clerk had proceeded about half
way ex-Gov. Hahn requested permission
from the Speaker to address the House,
which request was at once accorded. He
said that be had been elected a member of
the Legislature from his parish; that he
was a Republican, but in all matters of re
form and good government he was ready to
go with any party having these ends in
view. He had been put in nomini-
tion for the Speakership by his party
without seeking it. That position, or any
other position iu the gift of the legislature
could bring him no additional honor, and bo
would gladly relinquish liis claims at any
time if lie inought it for the public good.
Our business, our commerce, are all lan
guishing; our plantations are sold out for
taxes; the count!y is swarming with office
holders who ought to be swept away; all
these things must be reformed, and he re
gretted to see so much of party spirit dis
played in this House; that he had hoped to
see a H*>use which would be united in the
matter of legislative reform. He protested
against this organization, and asked tl
Democrats to join with him ami others in
their efforts to bring abont an honest and
economical government. We have many re
forms to make. He bad no hesitation iu
pronouncing the election law a fraud and
wrong, aud he wanted to see it and all other
such iarts repealed, but ho declined to par-
tiepate in this body organized as it was, and
lie therefore entered his proles! against it.
The call was then procre led with, and
upon its conclusion, the following r» suit
was announced : For Mr. Wiltz 55,Mr. Hahn
2, blank 1.
A quorum having voted and Mr. Wiltz
having received a majority, he was accord
ingly declared elected. Judge Houston then
administered the oath of office, and, a»
ustia in such cases, the Speaker called for
the oldest member, Mr. Lowell, to admin
ister a similar oath, but he having left the
House during roll call with a number of oth
er Republicans, that duty was performed
by the next oldest member. The Speaker
then addressed the House, while the liadi-
cails still continued to generally withdraw.
Mr. Ray addressed the Speaker on a priv
ilege, and asked leave to retire f-oni the
House, and entered a protest against its or
ganization. The Speaker then charged tlio
Sergeant-at-Aim* to allow no uiemb r to go
out.
Mr. P. J. Trezavaut was then put in nom
ination lor Clerk aud eleefid. Then the
swearing in of memb*rs was commenced,
and the Radicals endeavored to move ont
of the Hous**, but the Sergeatit-at-Arms
sought to prevent them. Several scuffles
ensued, when, on motion of George Dupre,
Gen. DeTrobriand was sent for, who cleared
the lobby of police and spectators at the
Speaker’s request.
THE MILITARY INTERFERE IN BEHALF OF THE
RADICALS.
Gen. DeTrobriand, who had been absent
for about a quarter of an hour, appeared
again at the Court House, accompanied by
two officers ot his staff. A file of eoldicrs
had been marched into the corridor leading
to the hall, aud at tiie head ot the large
staircase. The Stale poiic* were also drawn
up in force. G**n. DeTrobriand at once step
ped up to Speaker Wiltz, aud asked that Mr.
Vigors, the former clerk of the Uou«<\
should rea l a letter ho held i i his baud
Mr. Trezevant, the clerk elect, objected,
when the General, stating that he was
unable to judge who was clerk, asked per
mission to have two letters of Governor
Kellogg rea-l by his Adjutaut, which w&t,
granted. That officer then r^ad the
two letters, one of which stated to
the General that an illegal body was
sitting in the House of Represent'
atives, aud that Mr. Yigers, Clerk,
would furnish him with a list of tboso mem
bers who had been duly elected, and as such
returned by the Returning Board. The
other letter contained a request to General
DeTrobriand to ejoct those members who
had not been returned as elected by the
Board. Speaker Wiltz protested, and top l
the General that this was a legaJlv organ
ized body, to which General PoTVobiand re
plied that he, as a soldier, and only second
in command, had to obey the orders of his
superior, General Emery, who had ordered
him to obey the instructions of Governor
Kellogg. Speaker Wiltz sai l; I desire to
state to you again that this House is duly
elected, has organized itself by electing me
as Speaker, Captain Floyd as Sergeant-at-
Arms aD<l Mr. Trezevai t as Clerk. After the
organization we have seated five gentlemen
whose cases have been referred to us by the
Returning Board. Will you reject these
men ?
General Do Trobrieiul said: Mr. Spesker,
I am an officer and must obey orders. X
came here alone. I tbouqht that my pres
ence would be sufficient to bive these orders
obeved. Speaker Wiltz replied: I am thank
ful to you, (ieneral, for that. While we sub
mit to"the United States Government, it is
my duty as Speaker of the Honao of ltepri -
seutatives of the State of Louisiana to ask
you to use force. Until then the five men
refuse to leave the room.
General De Trobriand—I do not like to
make a show. Ido not know the members.
I should prefer for you to point them out,
I will ask them to leave. Or will you have
me fill the room with soldiers 9
Speaker Wilts—I cannot permit tho-e
members whom we have Just recoqnijted as
being elected, to be put out. My duty is to
keep up the dignity of the State of Isiuis-
iana, as well as yours is to keep up that of
the United States army. x
Mr Dupre, at this time, offered the report
of the Committee on Elections, which de
clared Jeffries, Luckptt and Stafford of
Rapides; Vaughn, Horan and Lamb, of Cad
do; and O’Quinu, of Avoyelles, to be elected.
6en DeTrobriand, who had retired, again
advanced towards the Speaker, who said,
“Gentlemen, be quiet and be men. The
General then pointing to Vigers, ei-Cler.r
of the House, said that he had been repre
sented to him by Gov. Kellogg as Clerk of
the House, and had a list of name* of the
Republicans returned as elected by the Re
turning Board. . u
tipeftKer Wiltz-I protest tUf’
era as having anything to da with this body.
He is no loDger Clerk of tbis House, his
•"SSZiSSSmSX
of qo«tmU, .
Again Speaker Wiltz protested against
the interference of the military, and re
quested members to joi i in a p otes with
him. In response to »his call, all the Con
servative members stoo l up aud solemnly
protested.
After another pro test of Yigers’ successor,
Gen. DeTrobriand ordered Yigers to call
the roll.
Speaker Wiltz—The Conservative mem
bers will not answer when their na ues are
called. None answered.
Mr. Lowell, late Speaker, then wanted to
know what these proceedings amounted to.
The Republican members had, during this
controversy, entered in a body, and either
took seats or stood near the platform.
bpeaker Wiltz, after Mr. L’well had in
dulged in a long talk of having been duly
elected, and was willing to do his duty, etc*.,
stated to him what had taken place daring
his absence and that of his Radical col
leagues. Mr. Yigers having finished calling
the roll, Mr. Dewes said that fifty-four
names had answered, two Democrats
answering by mistake. He moved that the
House proceed to business. Murrell,
colored, Radical, seconded the motion. Mr.
Yigers wanted to get his seat, and Speaker
Wiltz told him he could nor, aud that there
were not men enough to put him in it. At
this time there entered the room a
filo of about fifteen soldiers, fully
epfftppcd, who formed in a line outside the
bar. Gen. DeTrobriand introduced then
Mr. H. J. C&mpbe 1, who was giving" his
assistance in pointing out the members
whom he should eject. Previous to this the
report of the committee on credentials was
adopted, which seated several members who
had not been returned by the Returning
Board, notwithstanding the objections raised
by Republican members. Speaker Wiltz
protested against Mr. Campbell’s introduc
tion, when General DeTrobriand receive 1
information that General Emory was at the
door an*l would like to see him. Ho went
out and almost immediately returned. Mr.
Campbell asked the General to have the roll
called by Yigers, so as to ascertain the
members who were returned ns elected
by the Board. General DeTrobriand
announced that he had nothing to do
with those returned as elected, but merc y
was ordered to eject those not de
clared elected by the Returning Board.
Campbell then asked Senator Anderson if
he knew any of those members. Anderson
only knew David O’Quinu, and Campbell led
the General up to Mr. O’Quinu, to whom
Gen. DeTrobriand made known his busi
ness. O’Quinn loudly protested and had his
protest recorded. In answer to the
General, who asked if he should lead
him out, Mr, O’Quinu appealed to the
Speaker, who said that force should
be used. The General ordered one
one of his aids to call a couple of soldiers,
and under solemn protest, Mr. O’Quinn was
put outside the bar, but allowed to remain
there. O’Quinn having pointed out his
colleague, Mr. Yaughan, of Rapides, Mr.
Vaughan was interrogated by Gen. DeTro
briand in the same way. He protested, and
his protest was recorded. He said: “la
the name of my constituents, the people of
Louisiana, aud as a free born man of the
United States, I protest against this out
rage. They propose to take me out at the
point of the bayonet.”
Speaker Wiltz—Let it be done.
Mr. Vaughan was then put out. Tl.e.e
were some hiss« g from the upper galleries,
but the Speaker at once obtained quiff.
Campbell then pointed out Stafford and Jef-
reys, of Rapides; C. C. Dunn, from Cadd>
and Geo. E. Kelly, from Winn, nil ot whom
entered a solemn protest against the ont
rage, and were put out. This closed the
ejection, as there was no means to ascertain
if any more were present. Mr. Kelly ap
pealed in his protest to the nation. Gen.
DeTrobriand at this time a as requested to
order Mr. Vigers to read the roll once mor
A few Radicals, Ray and Murrell, became
very noisy, but were at onco quieted by
Speaker Wiltz. Murrell apologized, de
claiming any discourtesy to the Speaker.
Vigers could not get into his seat to comp y
with the request to call tbe House again
together for reorganization, they not recog
nizing the election of Mr. Wiltz jib Speaker.
Speaker Wiltz—In tne name of the peopl«
aud in the name ot Louisiana, I prote
against Mr. Vigers. lie cannot and will n>
be recognized by me as Clerk of this House.
In protesting I fulfill a solemn duty to nr*
people, myself and my colleagues.
I,. igers pioceeded to read, when Speak* i
Wiltz ordered the Serg'innt-at-Arms to re
move him from the stand. The Serg-*an»-
at-Arms p it his hand on Yigers, who re
fused, and called on General DeTrobriand
to protect him. Campbell then said Yigers
must be protected; that this was no organ
ized House; Mr. Wiltz was no Speaker.
Whereupon Speaker W ltz ordered him to
be removed. General DeTrobriand then or
dered two soldiers to advance to put Vigers
in the Clerk’s scat.

DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS RETIRE.
Speaker Wiltz roso and said: “As tho
legal Speaker of the House of Representa
tives of the State of Louisiana, I have pro?
tested against the invasions of our hall by
the soldiers of the Unite 1 States with drawn
bayonets and loaded muskets. We have
seen our brother members violently seized
by force of arms, and torn from us iu spile
of their solemn protest. We have seen a
force of soldiers march up the aisle of the
Hall ot Representatives ot Louisiana; ha>e
protested against this in the name of a onto
free people; in the name of the once frto
State oi Louisiana; in the name of the
Union, I enter my solemn protest. The
chair of the only Speaker of the House of
Representatives of Louisiana is surrounded
by United States troops; the officers of tb**
House are prisoners iu their hands, so I
solemnly declare that Louisiana has ceased
to be a sovereign Stato ; that it lias do
longer a Republican government, and I call
on tha Representatives of the Stato to retire
with me before this show of arms.”
The Democratic Representatives, headed
by Speaker Wiltz, then marched out of th<*
hall and the State-Hou-o, both of which
were closod as soon as the last Domocrati;
Representative went out. They went t >
No. 71 St. Louis street, followed by a large
crowd, w ho cheered them on thc-ir way.
Speaker Wiltz was loudly called oul. H *
addressed the crowd in the following words:
“We have attempted aud succeeded iu o: -
ganizing the House of Representatives. I
was elected Speaker, and after a permanen i
organization, notwithstanding tlie interfer
ence of the police, we have kept up proceed
ings until a few minutes ago, until the Ui ited
States forcibly expelled about eight or ten of
our members. We then retired and left,and
come to our people to tell them what has
been done.”
Other speakers, Marr, Ellip, etc., followed,
counselling order, ami asked the crowd to
retire. Adjourned till 74 p. m.
After the Conservatives withdrew, Vig r*
proceeded to call the roll, when 53 members
answered to their name-; 54 were necessary
to a quorum, and Vigers declared there werV
54 present. Ex-Governor Michael Hahu was
elected Speak* y.
