Diseasing the recent speech of Hon.
Alexander II. Stephens iu Atlauta, “Local,”
the Western I’ike correspondent of the
Bamesvllle Gazette, hits the nail squarely on
the head, lie says: “We think Mr. Stephens
entirely failed iu his Atlanta speech to dis
cern ami discuss the most important issue
that was made up at the extra session of
Congress, to wit: the right of the Federal
Government to control elections Iu the
Sutes by posting soldiers at the polls. This
issue was distinctly made, and we confess
our surprise at Mr. Stephens’ omission to
discuss it as the most vital matter affecting
our government. The Radicals do not want
toso before the country on this issue—they
would evade it willingly, aud Mr. Stephens’
speech is much calculated to aid them.
The linaucial issue is an important one ’tis
true, but in importance to the people of
America pales before that of the right of
ilberty ut the polls, as does the dark
ness before the splendor of the morning
sun. I would ask Mr. Stephens what is
money worth without a government?”

al # °?e there has been the enormous increase
u*^. l04,44 ° in twelve months. Lands are

satisfied with their surroundings. In addi-
tIo “ to the foregoing statistics, the people
will have more nearly a supply of pro
visions for another year, and are owing lees
money than last year. Stock, too, are In
better condition. There are more fat horses
and mules in Marion county than there has
been at any one time since the war. The

of prosperity is now open for our people if
they will continua to raise their supplies for

The Augusta Xews tells of the following
remarkable phenomenon which has come to
Its knowledge: “William Langley, a cotton
planter of Gwinnett county, was standing In
a field on his farm. Around him were sev
eral men, a woman and three children, all
breakiug the soil for cotton. The sky was
clear and the air quiet,there being about both
considerable sultriness. The children had
just stopped work, and thrown themselves,
tired as tired could be, on the top of a pile
of guano sacks, when a peculiar roaring was
heard In the field. The sound bore some
resemblance to that of an approach!^ train,
but as no railroads were near the workers
looked at one another In amazement. In- a
moment they saw a small column, not larger
in circumference than a barrel, skim rapidly
along the ground. The wind column ^r spout
appeared to be filled with dust, and T in'the
centre contained what looked like a ball of
fire. The mother rushed towards the children,
who crouched low in fright, but before she
could reach them the pile of guano bags,
children and all were scattered right and
left. In its course, always eccentric, the
column struck a stump fairly from butt to
roots, and tore it from the ground, tile wood
splitting into three pieces, and dropping
twenty or thirty yards away. Mr. Langley
wan sucked iu as the whirling thing bolted
by and thrown into a plowed gully some
distance away. In the next instant the
strange visitor had gone, passing up over
the tops of the trees. It was seen; plainly
by the ladies at the Langley House, appear
ing to them like the smoke that rushes up
in circular volumes from the smoke-stack
of a locomotive.” v -'
THE SUIT AGAINST GEN. SHERIDAN.
New York, August 8.—A long opiuion
of Judge Wallace was filed to-dav in the
Clerk’s office of the United States Circuit
Court in an application for a new trial In the
suit of James A. Whalen against Gen. Philip
A. Sheridan. The jury found a verdict for
the defendant, and plaintiff moved for a
new trial on the ground of newly discovered
-evidence, and because- of alleged e^ran lxu - traveled Amidst dust and heat, behind a slow
Hawkinsville Dispatch: “The Postmaster
General has notified Mr. J no. J. Taylor, of Pu
laski county, of the acceptance of h!4 bid to
carry the mail once a week and return from
Hawkinsville to Gorday’s Mills, in Wilcox
county. The distance is forty-three miles,
and service will begin on the 1st of October
next, provided that a Postmaster be ap
pointed at the end of the route. It is the
duty of the people living in the vicinity of
Gorday’s Mills to send forward a petition
for the appointment of some particular per
son as Postmaster. This is necessary before
the mail contractor can commence service.
The people in that section are anxious for
mail facilities, and this new route will be of
much benefit and convenience to them.”
Marietta Journal: “Mr. Hugh Harris, who
lives several miles south of Marietta, on
last Friday shot and killed a swallow-tail
hawk, its wings measuring four feet and
one inch from tip to tip. Mr. W. P. Cash
showed it to us on Saturday, and said be
fore it was killed he tried to 6hoot it, but it
would fly up high, fold its wings and dart
down as if it was going to strike him in the
face. It is a species of the hawk seldom
seen in this section.”
A cutting took place last Thursday on the
Campbelton road, about three and a half
miles from Douglassville, in which two col
ored troopers participated. The Star gives
the following particulars of the fracas:
“John Holmes cut Thomas Newman. It
appears that Newman had killed a dog be
longing to Holmes a few days before, and
the parties met on the road, where a dispute
arose, which resulted in the stabbing of
Newman by Holmes. The wounded darkey
was brought to town and placed under the
treatment of Dr. Joseph L. Selman, who
carefully and skilfully examined and dressed
his wounds. He was cut in two places, one
a flesh wound on the. throat, about four
inches in length, not dangerous, the other a
puncture under the left brpast, reaching to
the oavity of|the chest*. Immediately after the
cutting, Holmes came to town and. was at
once taken In charge by Sheriff Souter. The
grand jury being in session a true bill was
found, aud he Li pow in jail, awaiting the
result of Newman’s wounds* At present
writing, under skillful treatment, the wound
ed man Js in a fair way for recovery.”
Alluding to the trial of Burroughs, re
cently concluded in |Uartersville, for the
killing of the Morris brothers a short time
since, and which resulted Jn a verdict of not
guilty, the free Dress says: “While popular
sentiment, so far as wc have heard it ex
pressed, approves the verdict of Igst week,
there is great sympathy felt for the father
and family of the deceased. The father Isolde
of the best citizens of Cobb cou;;ty, a plain,
quiet and unassuming gentleman. None
feel more sympathy for him than we have
heard expressed by the relatives and friends
of the defendant. The killing was one of
those deplorable events that no good man
will fail fco regret. It is sad and sorrowful
to contemplate.”
Cartersvllle Free Press: “On Sunday even
in’'- the Western and Atlantic passenger
tram made some extraordinary time. It
was delayed at Atlanta three hours, waiting
for the West point train, and made the time
from Atlauta to Chattanooga, a distance of
138 miles, in four hours.”
Dalton Citizen: “ On Saturday last while
one of our efficient bailiffs was taking a ne
gro charged with larceny, to jail, he broke
from him and ran for dear life. The chase
was lively and exciting for a time, but the
negro in his flight, coming Rcros^ ahorse be
longing to Mr. Wash. Nichols, mounted Jilm
and made his escape in the direction of
Rome. As soon as Mr. N. learned what the
negro had done be went in hot pursuit of
him apd his stolen horse, and came upon
the latter in ft pasture, where he had been
put by a farmer on the roadside, the negro
having abandoned uiiu acd taken to the
woods.”
Macon Telegraph: “At the barracks there
is a negro who is quite crazy and can give
uo account of himself. He gives his name
as Yellow George, and repeated questioning
fails to elicit his patropvmic. There is uo
doubt as to his Insanity, but he seems to be
of the harmless type. He is a light, copper
colored darkey, about twenty-two or three
years of age. ne is supposed either to have
wandered from his home or to have escaped
from the Lunatic Asylum. He will be sent
to the county hospital.’’
The Cuthbert Southron thua touchingly
describes a recent marriage in the court
house of that place. It says: “ ‘Behold, the
bridegroom cometh,’ echoed the sonorous
voice^of the magistrate, when Prof. Kiddo
attuned in sweetest harmony the Bridal
March on the jewsharp. The groom was
attired in his shirt .sleeves, and on his arm
gently swung the bride, like a side of meat.
Judge Parkerson and M. E. Robinson were
candle bearers. Judge Bragan, looking
over the rim of his spectacles, commanded
the party to »tand np, when he pronounced
the ceremonv in a very imposing manner,
which deeply affected the whole auditory—
which consisted only of Col. Hood, jfr., and
the county officers.”
A correspondent of the Darien Gazelle,
under the head of “Remarkable Men of
McIntosh, ” writes that paper as follows:
“William Sallett was perhaps the most re
markable man McIntosh county ever pro
duced. In person he was about live feet
five inches In height, suflftre shouldered, ex
panded chest, with a n6se as large as a small
trumpet, and a store face that would denote
him at first sight as a business man. He
was an indomitable rebel in the revolution
ary war, and a terror to all who differed
with him. He used a rifle stocked up near
the muzzle, and fired with flint and steel,
called ‘sweet lips,’ with one hun
dred notches on its 6tock. »»hen
be killed a man he made a notch to count
them. It Is said that having kjljed ninetv-
nine during the war, he saw a man plough
ing in the field and killed him to make up
the even number of one hundred. WUliaiq
Sallett was an intrepid soldier, and not de
ficient in accomplishments; he was a poet as
well as a patriot; the following lines were
written by his own hand on the fly leaf of a
book presented by him to a member of our
family:
‘‘Learning Is better than house and land.
For where house and land is gone anal
Lemming is mode excellent,"
“He lived and died at Harris’ Neck, In
this county, a great many years ago.”

A most astonishing murder and suicide

UP THE CENTRAL RAILROAD TO
STLYANIA.
Farms—Eater of Bed Clothe*—Sa
vannah District Conference In Ses
sion at Sylvanla—Star Gazing.
Editor Morning Xacs: Sixty miles run up
the Central on a flying train early in the
morning, with no dust and pleasant com
pany, is a relief to one who for months has
been confined to daily toil in a crowded
city.
We so found it two days ago. But what
a change, when thirteen miles are to be
team, fromDgeecfcee to Sylvanla.
The friend to whom we were consigned as
a traveling companion in trarositu was of
the same mind as my Belt, and we waited the
decline of ‘day. The lengthened shadows
cast ever and anon by the stately pine and
the passing clouds gave relief from the heat
of the sun, and when he sank to rest the
full-orbed moon, with soft, silvery beams
gleaming through the overhanging forest
trees, lighted the white sandy road for us.
Now and then, as we rode to some eminence
surrounded by old fields, our eyes were
turned to the starry heavens. Oh! what a
rich field for thought,and how one goes right
out of himself, lost in wonder, amazement
and admiratiou; and how small, how feeble,
one feels as be continues to look into those
mysterious heights, infinitely removed into
space.
These planets and 6tars are familiar old
friends—not only companions of youth,
when I kept my father’s flocks by night, but
many times on the open plains of Califor
nia, in long rides by night, and sometimes
from my far off mountain home, have we
courted through stars the presence of kin

and friends who, in the wal
my youth, were gazing on these same loved
objects of nature.
We passed excellent farms on oar way.
First, Mr. J. R. Cooper’s, to whom we ac
knowledge favors, while lying over awaiting
the heat pi the day to pass. We shared
with others a watermelon that must have
weighed fifty pounds. He never plants seed
from any under forty pounds. His crop is
abundant and of marvelous size. Mr. War
ner, formerly of your city, owns a large and
very fine farm, judging from the growing
crop. The old gentleman is declining with
the consumption and will soon leave these
broad acres to an only (married) daughter.
A remarkable case that my traveling com-
panL-n told me of: A Mr. , with wife
and eight or ten children—a man slow to
labor, but fierce in eating—has been knowp
to eat up his bed clothing. His children,
from their appearance, must eat a great deal
of not much better trash. If all who are
born tiled—too lazy to work—should ac
quire the same abnormal taste for diet, the
price of rags would go up.
Mr. Call has a full variety store on this
road, and Is building for himself the neatest
residence we saw along the way.

SHERMAN’S WEALTH.
How He Got Possession of Certain
Valuable Beal Estate.
Chicago Times.
John Sherman has been in public offlee
for many years, aud, until he wgs made
a Cabinet officer, he bos received no more
than $5,000 a year; yet to-day he is con
sidered one of the wealthiest men in the
country. His private residence upon K
street is more than a substantial one, and
one that would require at least $10,(K)0 a
year to support as it is at present man
aged.
There is no way of getting at the exact
way Sherman has made all his money or
the amount, but the writer has found how
in a quiet way (some people might call it
underhanded) Sherman has gotten posses
sion of a very valuable real estate section
covered with houses that bring him in
very handsome rents. These houses com
prise two good rows upon both sides of
F street, between First and Second streets,
northeast. How he came into possession
of this land is interesting. In 1869 one
Crutcbett purchased this land for specu
lative purposes. He was a large' real
estate dealer, and in the course of his
business lie became embarrassed. Jay
Cooke’s bank advanced him upon this
1 md, and when it matured Crutchelt was
unable to pay.
It wfls decided to sell him out under a
deed of trust. Compared to the velue
of tho land, the amount advanced upon
the land was small Crutcbett notified
his friends of the sale, desiring them to
aid him bid it in, as the easiest way of
saving the property. These friends ral
lied around him, and attended the sale.
For some unaccountable reason this sale
was postponed. Every time these friends
turned out the sale was postponed, until
it had been put off eleven tiffiea. The
twelfth time the sale was announced was
one dark, stormy afternoon, just upon
the verge of a most disagreeable evening,
The fnends of Crutchett, discouraged by
repeated postponements, failed to put in
an appearance, when the lots were
knocked down for a small sum to f Tohn
Sherman, Jr., Secretary Sherman’s
nephew. That he only acted as the
agent of his uncle is shown by the sub
sequent proceedings.
Secretary Sherman, when Senator,
got a bill through Congress for improve
ments and filling in the streeto near these
lots, so that their value was greatly en
hanced. Then building 1>egan. After
the houses were put up, circulars were
distributed through the Treasury offer
ing great chances for the clerks to secure
homes at low prices. The circulars were
signed “John Sherman & Co.” The
“John Sherman” was underscored with
a red line, as if to call special attention
of the clerks to the owner. The bait was
that a clerk who bought ok* rented one of
these houses would naturally be pretty
safe in his position at the Treasury.
Some of the papers at the time publish
ed one of these circulars, and there was
a good deal of comment made uooo
Sherman’s attempt to speculate among
the clerks. Then it was givefi out that
the ”John Sherman’: was John Sher
man, Jr., the nephew of the Secretary,
For some time the rents were collected
through third parties, although it was
believed that Secretary Sherman owned
the rows, as he was to be seen constantly
visiting their neighborhood and inspect
ing them with the eyes of ownership.
This last month all disguise in the matter
has been tfirown qff. 4 clerk of ftp
Treasury Department for the month of
June collected the rents in all the unsold
houses of the two rows in the name of
Secretary Sherman, so that there is no
longer any question as to who is the
owner. All of th
rented or sold.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prospect of Radical Defeat In Maine
—How John Sherman Pat his Foot
In It—The Interoceanlc Canal—Im
portant Letter from Admiral Am-
Special Correspondence of the Morning Xetes.
Washington, August 7.—An Interview is
published here this evening with Represen
tative Fisher, ot Pennsylvania, who is act
ing Chairman of the Republican Campaign
Committee, in place of Jay Hnbbell, of
Michigan, who made that memorable mis
take in soliciting aid from a Democrat,
thinking he was a Republican, for the Na
tional View, a so-called newspaper published
here. This interview is mainly interesting
from the fact that it confirms what has pre
viously been received from Maine. Mr.
Fisher is very doubtful whether the Repub
licans can carry that State, and says also
that the Greenbackers are coalescing with
the Democrats to an extent much more than
is agreeable to the Republicans. Altogether,
he is very dubious as to Republican success
this fall in Maine. He Is also candid enough
to admit that John Sherman’s financial cru
sade in that State has hurt the Republican
cause, or, as he puts it, John “took too ex
treme views and the opposition is taking
advantage of it.” Of course they are.
There is an old tradition that as Maine goes
so goes the Union.
A good deal has been said in this corres
pondence . recently concerning inter
oceanlc canal communication. The matter
is one of such material importance that it
has warranted all that has been written.
The questiou will, very likely, be transferred
at the next session to the halls of Congress.
In the meantime developments are occurring
of inter, at. In this connection may be given
the following abstract from a letter on the
subject written to Secretary Thompson by
Rear Admiral Ammen, who was one of the
commission dppointed by Grant to inquire
into the subject:
“Should the Navy Department grant the
request of the Nicaraguan Government to
permit Civil Engineer A. G. MenocaI,U. S. N.,
to go to that country for the purpose of im
proving the navigation of the Sau Juan river
in the vicinity of the Castillo rapids, I would
suggest that he be informed that it is desira
ble to re-examine the region of the Lajas
route, which lied between Lake Nicaragua
and its junction with the Rio del Medio
route, the object being to ascertain whether
& considerable amount of the surface drain
age now falling into the P&ciUc cannot be
diverted into Lake Nicaragua at a reasona
ble cost.
“If this should prove to be practicable, It
will allow a safe location ot a ship canal
through a summit level of only forty-three
feet above Lake Nicaragua, with an increase
of length, however, of one hundred and
forty-ulno miles, in lieu of a deep cut of
one hundred and thirty-three feet by the Rio
del Medio route, now preferred ou account
of better conditions of permanency, so far
as now known.
“An object never disregarded In oar Inter
oceanlc canal surveys was to secure the ele
ment of permanency, especially from floods,
in as great a degree as possible; hence the
Rio del Medio route was preferred. The
estimate of the £ost of this route was $65,-
722,147, aud of the Lajas route $*>0,352,737,
making a difference iu the estimates of
$5,309,364, with the disadvantage of trouble
some surface water ou the Lajas route. It
was not supposed, however, that tho very
careful location of the works when the con
struction was made, might not end In a
preference for that route. In my report to
the Secretary of the Navy as Chief of Bu-
■Viaii rtf V.i.*1 rtn In wlft ha frtitn.l
reau of Navigation in 18<5, will be found
the following:
‘It is proper to add that the most careful
and elaborate surveys would necessarily
have to be made iu advance at any point
heretofore examined before commencing
the construction of an interoceanlc ship
canal, and that these surveys could only
ameliorate the labor and cqgt, 0 f construc
tion, inasmuch as tne locations as given are
actual throughout their length, and would only
be changed When advantage would be
gained by doiq£ bo.’
•‘Whillt ft company organized for the pur
pose of coeetnicting a ship canal would not
fail to relocate" every part of the rpute, a
preliminary examination by Civil Engineer
Menocal may show in advance that the sur
face drainage above allucjed to niay advan
tageously be* thrown into Lake Nicaragua,
with a considerable decrease in the aggre
gate estimate for labor in the substitution of
the lower lines of levels of the Lajas route,
and without any sacrifice of conditions of
permanency.”
Mr. Menocal will undertake the work
suggested by Admiral Ammen in connec
tion with the Nicaraguan route. As that
route seems to be the one upon which the
canal will be constructed, the following ex
tract concerning lt ; from an official report
on the various routes, made to this govern
ment in 1872 by the Canal Commission, is of
interest;
‘‘Commander E. P. Lull, U. 8. N„ with a
corps of junior officers and Civil Engineer
A. G. Menocal, made the survey of this
route. The summit level is designed to be
107.62 feet above the two oceans—-the sur
face of Lake Nicaragua being maintained at
the highest water mark by a dam at Cas
tillo.
“Two harbors must he constructed, one at
or near Greytown, the other at Brito, on the
’ acific. The eastern division is 108.5 miles
long, of which 42 miles is canal, extending
from the proposed harbor on the eastern
coast to and along the San Juan river to the
mouth of the river of San Carlos, at which
point slack water navigation of the San Juan
begins, and bv the aid of three short canals,
having an aggregate length of 8.5 miles,
around the proposed dams in the San Juan
(four in number), reaches to Lake Nicara-
a distance of 63 miles of slack water
gua, a ul
navigatio:
“More difficulties exist on the eastern
coast, and a smooth anchorage would be de
sirable for vessels awaiting transit, but even
there the anchorage, although disagreeable
without shelter, would be regarded as safe.
Here as on the west coast it is requisite that
the entrance to the canal should have
smooth water, which can only be secured by
the construction of ample breakwaters.
i'No doubt exists as to the entire practi
cability of constructing an interoceanlc ship*
canal via Lake Nicaragua. If the work were
conducted with ability and honestv, it could
be completed within a moderate period of
time, and at a cost that would prove com
mercially profitable by the payment of tolls,
moderate when compared with the loss of
time, wear and tear, deterioration of cargo,
insurance, etc., that belong to voyages via
Cape Horn or the Straits of Magellan. The
cost of construction of the eanal and har
bors, with all their necessary adjuncts—
locks four hundred feet in length and
twenty six feet depth of water—may be set
down as at least one hundred million dol
lars.” Potomac.
The Greht Sea Fight In the SjqitfU
Pacific.
The press of Chili does credit to that
most intelligent and progressive of the
Spanish-American republics. In its issue
of June 10, just received, the Valpa
raiso Mercurio del Vapor contains foup
broad pages ot descriptions of the sea
fight between the Peruvian ironclads and
the Chilian corvettes, and has, besides, a
supplement of two pages filled with spe
cial correspondence from the Chilian
squadron of more recent date than that
engagement. The ^Mercurio's accounts
of the sinking of the Esmeralda by the
ram Huascar give a somewhat different
version of the death of Captain Prat
from tbpsc whiph have comb through
Peruvian sources, and as the stories of
several of the Esmeralda’s officers who
survived the battle agree, they may
be taken as correct It appears that
when the ram delivered the first
blow. Captain Prat ordered his
men to board her,‘ hilt in the noise and.
confusion of the fight the ordey was ijht
heard, and oniy one mail, a sergeant' of
marines, followed him to the Huascar’s
deck. The vessels immediately separated
and the two brave Chilians were killed
by a volley of musketry from the turret
When the Huascar rammed the corvette
the second time, one of the Esmeraldafs
lieutenants, named Serrano, leaped upon’
her deck with his sword in one hand
and a revolver ill (he other, crying, tr af

him. The entire boarding party were
cat down by a fire from the turret, and
from a mitrailleuse stationed at the stem
of the ram. Serrano fell at the foot of
the turret, and called to his men with
his last breath, *T die, but don’t give up
boys.” The third blow from the ’ram
sunk the corvette. Afterward the Peru
vians seem to have behaved with, com

W
Louisiana's New Constitution.
Atlanta Constitution.
It is conceded that the new constitu
tion of Louisiana is an improvement over
the old one, but the “unco guid” editors
at the North, who applauded while the
carpet-bag gentry were robbing the
South, and who are consistent in cursing
the States because they find it inconve
nient to (>ay the carpet-bag debts, are of
the opinion that the proposed constitu
tion deals shamefully with the creditors
of the State. The article relating to this
matter is to be submitted separately from
the constitution itself, so that its rejec
tion will not affect the vote on that in
strument. The debt is scaled down
twenty-five per cent, and the in
terest is reduced. The salaries of
the State officers are materially re
duced, and a wholesome limit
is placed upon the powers of the Legis-
ture in regard to the passage of local and
special hills, and there is an absolute
prohibition of the power to contract debt
or issue bonds on behalf of the State,
except to repel invasion. Local and
special laws not prohibited will have to
pass through a routine similar in extent
to that prescribed by the constitution of
Georgia—a routine which will by no
means net as a barrier to special legisla
tion, as the experience of the Georgia
General Assembly gives ample evidence.
Manufactories arc exempted from taxa
tion for a period of ten years, and a
Bureau of Agriculture is created.
A new article^ entitled “Corporations
aud Corporate Rights,” declares, first,
that no charter now in existence ip. the
State shall be renewed, altered,amended,
nor shall any law be passed for the benefit
of a corporation unless such corporation
shall hereafter hold its charter subject
to the State authority. Corporations are
prohibited irom issuing stock or bonds
except for labor done or money or pro-,
perty actually received; and if any issue
shall be made in contravention of this
they are declared void. Other provisions
are made to guard against “watering"
stock. It is made a crime for the officer
of any bank to receive deposits when the
bank is in an insolvent or failing condi
tion. All railroad companies in the
State are required to maintain an office
where the tag officers can reach
them, and all corporations doing busi
ness in the State are required to
have an authorized agent resident in
it. In another part of the new constitu
tion it is provided that “the monopoly
features in the charier of any corporation
now existing in the State, save such as
may be contained in the charters of rail
road companies, are hereby abolished.”
This provision, judging by the comments
of the local press, gives much satisfac
tion. Tiie Legislature is prohibited here
after from granting exclusive privileges.
Corporations are in future to be formed
under general laws. As to the qualifica
tion of Electors, all discriminations were
swejvt'away between persons who took
part on the Confederate side and those
ivho did not, by an amendment to the
existing constitution, adopted in 1870,
all persons being declared electors who
were of proper age and had reaided a speci
fied time in the State. All references to
Confederate debts, money, contracts.ctc.,
and, in fact, all allusions to the rebellion,
except in one interesting paragraph else
where mentioned, arc omitted in the new
instrument. With that exception there
is nothing to indicate that a rebellion
had ever taken place. The 0 f g 0V .
eminent i» triusierred from New Orleans
to Baton Rouge. In respect to that re
proach of Louisiana, nphlic gambling,
the new constitution declares that after
the year 1805 all lotteries of every kind
shall be prohibited in the State; mean
time tbs Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany is to have -the monopoly it enjoys
under its present charter abrogated..
The $40,000 per annum it paya the State
Is to go to the Charity Uospitai. in
New Orleans, and fees derived- from
other licensed lotteries arc to go to the
Shreveport Hospital. Gambling other
than by licensed lotteries is declared to
he a vice which the police shall suppress,
and the sale of alcoholic liquors is also
placed under police regulation. The ex
isting constitution is silent on these mat
ters, and the constitution of 18G4 de
clared lotteries and gambling houses un
der the protection of the law. A section
appears in the ngw constitution designed
especially to protect laborers. It de
clares that the Legislature, at its first
session after the adoption of the instru
ment, shall pass laws to make the wages
of laborers a lien upon tho works they
have been engaged upon, where the con
tractors, employers or owners have failed
to pay them. The new constitution will
he voted upon in December.

THE 8REATEST
TRIUMPH OF THE AIL
An aristocratic murderer has recently
been convicted in St Petersburg. An
old gentleman, Vlassoff, bad shown great
kindness to a young man named Charles
Landsberg, a Lieutenant of the Sappers
of the Guards. The officer borrowed
5,000 roubles from his benefactor, and
gave a bill of exchange, which became
due on June (i. This amount the young
man said he would be able to pay, as ho
was about to marry into a family of dis
tinction. On the evening of that day
Landsberg called on Vlassoff at ten
o’clock. The former being deadly pale,
Vlassoff asked him if he were ilL “Yes,”
replied Landsberg, “ send for some selt
zer water for me.” Vlassoff sent the
servant for some lemonade, and immedi
ately Landsberg attacked and killed the
old man with a hunting knife. Re then
wqi{ed for the return of the servant,
and before she had time to place on the
table the ten copecks change, he killed
her by a stab in the temple with the
same hunting knife, Landsberg then
abstracted the bill for 5,000 roubles and
a large packet, of securities, and aftcy
washing his hands took the key of the
front door, locked it after him. and es-
Ckpe4- Suspicion fell' upon him, and
when he was arrested he made a full con
fession of his crime. As the officer had
moved in the highest society, the affair
made a great deal of talk. When the
trial came on the prisoner fluently narra
ted his history from childhood, and his
association with ills murdered benefactor,
whom he described as misoriy. Proceed
ing to the period of the double crime
committed, he became more hesitating,
less precise, and almost unable to con
tinue, frequently raising his band to
his head. He acknowledged having
murdered Viossoff and bis servant, but
did not admit the gravity of the crime,
maintaining a strange theory of justifica
tion when persona stood in the way.
The court sentenced him to fifteen years
of hard labor.
