that position that whilst we are the con

LET THE G tLLED JADE Ca
WINCE!
As we thought higlly probable would
be the case, our article of the week before pl
last under the bead of Werds of Warning, cri
has been taken in high dudgeon by one of lai
our parish officers, whose conscience prick- or
ed him as it seems, or in the words of the by
proverb whom " the cap titted," although ma
he was very loath to wear it, and conee- tra
queutly he assailed na, quite mildly at first sic
and gently as a sucking dove or donkey, ni
and subsequently having" got his spirits wi
up, by pouring spirits down" abusively ln
vulg..rly and blackguardly, to all of which an
we paid about the same attention as we th
wculd have (lone to any other animal of on
his degree. We would not have conde- de
scended to notice such a creature, but 'or Il
the reason that it gives us an opportunity Int
of saying something we wish him and eve- lI
ry one else to know. oa
He accused us of being actuated by a dis
like to the colored neople or as he elegant T
ly and forcibly expressed it the " nigger" ,,
we told him he lied, and tell him so again. in
We don't pretend to be what is called a tlt
negro lover, but we certainly are not per sa
a negro hater, fur there are personaa of that in
race in this parish whom we respect and oa
esteem, and who are as welcome and well of
treated in our family as any white person
would be, not a relative or intimate friend, dl
and this fact susceptible of proof from the of
moat respectable source is a refutation of n
any such charge as has been mentioned. of
We beliere and have always said so, hat ia
the colored people were entitled to a share ti
of the offices provided they could find cm- f
petent men of their race to fill them, but ,t
as we should object to an ignorant incom
petent white man being put in a responsi
ble office we certainly would do the same h,
in regard to an ignorant and incompetent ni
colored man or as the gentleman seems to bl
prefer nigger. The fact is, and it is too h
plain and palpable to be denied that while al
Rapides has elected men to ofce who are to
more or leass qualified for it, she has elected "
others who are dirqctly the revers-, who t
are a disgrace to her and a laughing stock h
wherever they are known. Her. Senator M
I a man of color is a gentleman of fair edlu"
tion fine address, and considerable pol ti
cal accumen, and if not exactly what is b
called conservative is liberal and fair b
s minded, and asan evidence of it, the libe- f,
ral party here before the last election, weis
willing to place him upon their ticket for
the same place he now occnpies. One "
a of her representatives also a colored n
man is to say the least on apar as to edu- n
cation and intellect, with some white men t
we have known sent to the legislature I I b
this and other States, whilst the other two
of the same race, are entirely ignorant, F
without the first qualification or recom
mendation for the position they occupy.
The Sheriff and Clerk have both been in
office before and are two as capable and
efficient officers as can be found in any par- f
ish in the State, whilst the Recorder in
every sense of the word as regards fitnessn
for the office is sowicar, and as (like a foel) d
r he has made a disturbance about it we in f
tend to prove every word he took to him
self and perhaps the next Grand Jury may
imitate the laudable example set them by
that of Avoyelles.

THE COST OF A CONGRESSMAN'S DLATr.
The death aaf a member is sometling of a
Sperquisite, custom having estaaishedl the
usage of maintaining a sort of profelonttal
mourning on the poet of the Honuse-ome
o thing after the style of the hired moarners
of England and Scotland. Ifa member dies
at Washington, the Sergeant-at-t-Armamay
,say the landlord of his hotel $100 for hav
lug granted the privilege of a death in his
honse. Six stalwart men must then watch,
with two reliefs, by his bed during the
pariod that the body s ini the custody of the
House. Better for some of the dead that 1
they had been more cloely watched before
Sthey left the legislative halls! Deputies
must attend the body to its destination in
the State of the deceased, unless the friends
claim the right of burial in the%'ongres
stonl haurying ground. AltoKethPr, and I
have a definite eae in mind, it costs aleut
$.,000 to haury a Congrasanlan ldecelttly who
dies in Washington. Tt e funeral expmnse
cast a little more than the hack pay for one
d year. P,-rhals the back pay will serve as
fineral expenses for some, without the

Captain Fry's Last Letter to his
Wife.
Gen. Qnesada has been so kind as to
permit the writer to make a trans
cript of the letter written by the gal- Sm
lant Fry to his wife. The pages of the ter
original bore the impress of the tears shed fo
by the heroic writer. It was the last com- vol
munication ever made to the world by the Bu
true American, aid the blended express- trio
sions of affection, of religions hope, of dig- th
nifiled resignation with which it teems, eig
will cause its words to be remembered so so
long as virtue and conrage are honored
among men. It may be well to state that
the letter necessarily omits all reflections
on the Spanish government, but before his ui
death Capt. Fry gave utterance very fordi
qn
bly to his opinions on that subject, his si- otl
lence only coining with his death. The al- col
lusions to family ma*ters are, of course, 1i0

Tornado, St..Iego de Cuba, Nov. 6, 73. ' g
Dear, Dear imta :-When I left you I had wt
no idea that we si,hihlo never meet again by
in this world, but it seems strange to me er
that I should to-night, and on Annir's the
birthday, be calmly seated, on a beautiful it
moonlight night, in a most beautiful bay wi
in Cuba, to take my lusat leave of your, my
own dear, sweet wife, and with the thought wl
of your bitter anguish my only regret at
leaving. ga
I have been tried to-day and the presal
(lent of the court-martial asked.the favor Il
of embracing me at parting, and clasped co1
me to his heart. I have shaken hands Or
with each of my judges; andl the secretary ap
of the court and interpreter have promised MCI
rine as a special favor to attend my execu- to
tion. which will, I am told, be in a very let
few hours after my sentence is pronounced. r
I am told my death will be painless: in TI
short, I have had a very cheerful and an
pleasant chat about my funeral, to which inl
I shall go in a few hours from now. How al
.oon I can not yet say. It is curious to see re
how I make friends. Poor Bambetta pro.
inounced me a gentleman, and he was the M
brightest and bravest creature I ever saw. co
The priest who gave me communion on w
board this morning put a double scapular in
about my neck and a medal which he in- pr
tends to wear himself. A young Spanish WI
offilcer brught me a bright new silk badge ne
with the Blessed Virgin stamped upon it w
to wear to my execution for hinm, and a le
handsome cross in some fair lady's handi
work. These are to be kept as relics of me. jo
He embrac-d me attectionately in my room pU
with tears in his eyes.
Dear sweetheart. you will be able to
bear it for my sake, t;,r I will be with you
if God permits it. Although I know my
hours are short and few. I ain not sad. I
feel I shall always be with you right soon,
dear Dita, and you will not be afraid of
me C C C
Pray for me, and I will pray for you.
" There is to be a feariul sacritce -
of life from the Virgiuiua, and as I think. a
needless one, as the poor ,eople ae unoon
scions of ccime, and even of their fate up
to now. I hope God will forgive if I am to
blame for it.
If you write to President Grant, he' will
probably order my pay due when I resign,
paid to you after my death. " Peo
ile will be kinder to you now, dear Data,
at least I hope so. Do not dread death
when it comes to you ; it will be as God's
angel of reet-remember this.
1 hope my children will forget their
father's harshness and remember his love
and anxie y for them. May they practice
regularly their religion, and pray for him
always. * Tall- that the last act
of my life will be a public profession of nay
faith and hope in Him or whom we need
not be ashanmed, and it is not honest to
withhold that public acknowledgment
from any false modesty or timidity. May
God bless and save us all.
Sweet, dear, dear, Dita, we will noon
meet again. Till then, adieu, for the last
time. Your devoted bhusband,
JOSEPH FRY.

The Democrats in Cougres and the De.*

ter of the certificate of election from the eh
fourth district. They charged that it i was a

so offensive to a Democrat as energy. ti,
Mr. Billings and Judge Dibble have
been busily engaged since Wednesday in of
presenting additional arguments to nmem- t
hers of the Senate Committee on Elections
unon the legal points involved in the case m
of Senator Piuchbeck. They have had fre- o
quent consaltations with tbee hai man and
other members of the committee. The gt
committee met on Saturday, the Senate w
not being in session, and after a lengthy
consideration it was resolved, on the sag- tl
gestion of Senator Morton, to hear all ar
guments on Wednesday evening. This ar*
gamment will be dir.cted to the question
whether the committee ought to be bound ,
by the decisions of Louisiana that the gov
eruweut wtLch accredits Mr. Pinchback is al
the coustitutional governmuent ofthe State. a
It as generally believed that the committee i
will so decide and report. N
It is understood here that the gentlemn sa
who represents the committee of Louisiana &
Demotcrats, he who so elegantly eat in the ,
gallery of the House, assumes that he pro- a
cured the committee to order argument. ti
Indeed, a letter, addressed by him to the
committee, which was telegraphed to New a
Orleans and repeated here, is shown as the
appeal which induced the committee so to el
act. Senator Morton, the chairman. stated
to the writer this morning that no such
letter, nor any other Ltter was sent to the
comnanittee, and that he knew nothing of it..
The committee acted of its own accord, co
and the members had no intention of agree - i
inlg to a report then, and at no time until
a fair hearing should be accorded to the
representatives of both claimants.
The principal difficulty with which N
Messrs. Billings and Dibble have had to y
contend is the incomprehensible record b
which resulted from the wretched manner
in which the case for the Republicans was 6
presented duriang the investigsiion last t
winter. But for this stupidity, a promi- n
uent Senator recently remarked, the case
would now be decided upon the essential
legal points involved.
I think that there is no doubt that a ma
jority of the committee will agree to a re
port to seat Senator Pinchback. MILO.

At the Cuban he-d asrter, No. Ez- t

assemble, there was considerable activity I
displayed yesterday. The fact is that these Vir
gentlemen are active every day, and yet pel
nothing can be seen going on. Persons us.

not but be impremed with the idea that lard
the Amigos mean business, and that son
the expedition which they are unqas- war

In reference to the President's message lain
on Cuban sad Spa.ish affairs they express cal
themselvee as entirely satisfied. The only dra
question about which they are in doubt is Ami
as to 8paiu's good faith and ability to carry to t

the Virginle will be aetually surrendered, lest

A report prevailed yesterday to the efect by I
that the Virgiuinu had actnlly been fitted Spa

Havana in quest of the steamer Atlas, ity
which was believed to be endeavering to wet

llies for the inuargeut Cubans, somewhere and
alon, the coast. The only ressel of that tet
name ceneerning which any information the
could be hadin New York was the Atlass ape
Mail Steamship Company, sailing regularly ties
between this port and Kiagton and Sta
Savanilla, Jamaica. She is the vessel sait
which carried to Jaenmai Vrouna, Ryan pla

She conveyed most of them to Kingston abs

The Atlas is at present somewhere in the ant
vicinity of avanilla, her route being from at
