“ Wliar'a the Perlice 1”
Burglars seem to be having a very festive
time in the Forrest City jujst about now.
They laugh at, and care nothing for, locks
and bolts and the guardians of the night,
and safes arc very un safe places in which to
deposit valuables. On Sunday night last
the shoe store of Mr. Conroy, on Whitaker
street, was entered and robbed of all his
stuck—in short, everything the poor man
possessed—the thieves escaping with their
plunder. The case appears to be one of pe
culiar hardship, and we suppose is entirely
irremediable .

A London letter says : “ Upon the lines
from Manchester to Liverpool, a Mr. Smith
Ims established a railway theatre, and with
a good result. Five long cars arc arranged
in such a manner as to form one long room.
The top is vaulted and hung with chande
liers, which give a brilliant light. They
arc also arranged so as to exclude alj
noisff; the stage is two feet higher than
the floor of the car. The pieces which are
represented form a railway repertoire,
being so arranged that the scenes termi
nate upon the arrival of the travellers at
each station.”

The House Committee, charged with the
investigation of the claims of certain persons
to have less than one-eighth negro Mood in
their veins, reported, “from the evidence
adduced, that there is more than one-eighth
negro blood in the veins of Thomas P.
Beard, occupying a seat upon this floor,
from the county of Richmond.” The Com
mittee add, “ Il is due Mr. Beard to say
that he declared it as his opinion that the
evidence before us was true, aud hence
offered no resistance to our final conclusion.”
We make this statement at Mr. Beard's
request.

Louisiana lioubles
New Orleans, October 7.—Lieutenant
Lee, of the Freedmen's Bureau, who was
sent by Major Hutchings, in charge of the
Bureau here, to investigate the troubles at
Opelousas, reported this morning that the
immediate cause of the outbreak was a
personal difficulty between the editor of the
St. Landry Press, a Republican paper, and
three citizens, growing out of offensive arti
cles in the Republican paper- The editor,
named Bentley, who was also a school
teacher, was caned. The report was imme
diately circulated among the negroes that
Bentley was killed, and couriers dispatched
to arouse the negroes on tho plantations,
and in an incredibly short time were flock
ing, armed, to Opalouscs, apparently being
fully organized nnd prepared for such an
occasion. Several bodies of negroes were
met mid dispersed by the efforts of sen. iblc
modi rate men, both negroes and whites,
acquainting them will: the tacts regarding
Bentley.
A body, however, of twenty-five or thiity,
led by a negro who called himself captain,
refused t<> disperse when ordered. A tight
ensued, «in which two negroes wi re killed
and four or five wounded. Five or six
whites were also wounded, two very
severely. A number of horses belonging to
the whites were killed. The negro calling
himself captain was one of the killed.
Eight of the party were captured and
lodged in jail, and the balance dispersed.
Orders given by tho civil authorities for
disarming the negroes were executed with
some difficulty but effectually, and the arms
belonging to the negroes are now in the
hands of the authorities, tptd the Parish is
perfectly quiet.
During the excitement, the material of
the St. Landry Press was scattered and
a portion destroyed.
One white man was ambushed while
riding along the road alone mid riddled
with balls by three negroes. They were
all caught and killed.
Another white planter was reported shot
while sitting in his house.
Trouble existed only in the Parish of
St. Landry. In a radius of twenty miles
from Opelousas and adjoining Parishes are
perfectly quiet.
Lit ul. Lee reports that be could learn of
but two whites killed, and eight or ten
wounded; five negroes killed, and fifteen or
twenty wounded ; but expresses the opinion
that the number of casualties will exceed
these, as the negroes, in some quarters, re
sisted disarming, and had to be overpowered.
None of the white Republicans suffered,
except Bentley, and he only in the loss of
printing material and a caning received.
Lieut. Lee reports quiet restored, and every
body pursuing their ordinary occupations.
No farther trouble is apprehended. The
white inhabitants of the parish outnumber
the blacks. Armed mounted patrols, how
ever, were still being kept up.

lieport oj an Analysis of llad'cufs Rc<ju
hdiny Pills,
Instituted lor the satisfaction of tho
Prussian Government and people. It ap
pears tint the great popularity of tile Pills
throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti
billions nnd alterative ni-.-diciue, had pro
voke'! thu malice of the apothecia ties, who
cuiis. d a report to be circulnted that the
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a in'ml triumphant vindication of the
sanitary value of the Pills.
lbe Faoufiy of the College state in their
report that after a careful and minute ex
amination, they have the honor to state that
‘‘ the Pilte are not only free from every sub
sl'incc- injurious to health, but arc composed
wholly of substances and elements promotive
of digestion, and certain at the same time to
net l.iv.nalily upon the nervous system,”
ete., etc. They strte, further, that the inju
rious. riuiiors Set afloat by the Prussian
apothecaries origbuvtej ‘’in a mean spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity
attained by the Pilis within a very brief
period.”
