An invigorating norther arose last sight, and swept away the cleads. that had given several abundant shower The weather to day, cool and bracing as it is, is jdst the kind that our sugar planters need at this moment. "E. 0. M.,"n in the N. O. States, wants "the washing of a few gentilemen or a asmail family to take home." The small familios roundabout Baton Rouge can't well be spared; but some of the gentle men-don't all speak at once! We were pleasetd, on Wednesday, to receive a call from our old townsmran, Mr. R. W. Knickerbocker, who now re sides in New Orleans. Mr. K. is in at teddance upon the District Court. We are indebted to Mr. L. W. Con erly, Instructor in Agriculture at the State University, for a cluster of mam moth Brazilian yams, w b are a fdlr sample of what East Baton Ronge lands can do. p One hundred and five is the number of Cadets in attendance, this date, at the Louisiana State University and A. & M. College. The prospect is very flatter ing for a large attendance on or about January lst, 1882. Mr. Frances E. Trudeau, of Hermitage, has launched the Gov. Wiltz, a steamer seventy-five feet long, that is to run in the False river of Pointe Coupee, carry ing freights and passengers from the river terminus to New Road and inter mediatelandlngs. Gov. MoEnery and tihe members of the Capitol Cammission are expected by to-day's train, for the purpose of devis ing ways and means for putting the Capitol in condition to receive the Gen eral Assembly on the occasion of the forthcoming extra session. Dr. J. T. Davidson, of Homer, a min-+ ister ofthe 'eebyterian Church, who served sae member of the Constitution al Convention, we regret to learn, died reOotly at his home. Dr. Davidson was a worthy man, who fearlessly voted in that body for what he conscienciously believed to be the interests of the people 1 of Louisiana. He was a zeal.ous advo cate of the removal of the Capitol to Ba- 1 ton Rouge. -The street railway company, we are hdppy to state, is preparing its organit zation under the stipulations of its pub .lh.ed charter. with a view of com.menc ing operations ast an early date. The gentlemen who compose it have the in terest of the community deeply at heart, and they know that they are engaging in an enterprise which cannot fail to do Baton Rouge immense benefit in various ways. Everybody should take stock according to his memns. For ward all the time, should henceforth be the motto of our citizens. A C-FrING ArsAIn.-Throngh Mr. F. I L. Reeks, we learn that on Saturday i uight last, at a colored ball, near MIus- I son, a bully, one Charles Wilson, colored, I entered the room in a defiant and prov- e king manner, which finally drew the at- I tention of the colored Constable, Joe I Harold, who endeavored to have him be- I have himself. This served to increase I1 Wilson's misbehavior, who attempted to 1 seize the Constable, around whont he brandished a knife, when at length the Constable tired at him, the ball grazing 4 Wilson's cheek, who then stabbed lIar old in the side, inlicting seerious wound. Wilson was arrested and taken to jail, a zit l'laquemine, by our informant. - -PounD CUAE" LIPrEu.-On Wetines 'lay, Aaron Johnson alias Pound Cake, Swas jorked up before the Mayot's Court. lie as the "buck rabbit" or race horse that has pranced around tbh police for imiany months past. There was a long 3 tile of witnesses, of both sexes, whom I "Pound Cake," had hit with sticks, and skillets, after which occnrrencee he band "dusted" from the police who had never been able to catch him, until the other night when they cornered him bychance. 1 le started to run away from the Chief and an assistant, but unsuspectingly ran into the* usteretched arnm of Mr. Andrew Finek, the young gitnsetith, who is an ordinance department within hium selft who happened to be acting as alt officer. Mr. Finkc, as can well be im- a agined closed down on Pound Cake, a who was at last brought to jail to n- - awer for bhi many offenses. The Mayor, seented glad to see him and after a sbort sxaminut;atmon unloadend on him the whole ] City Vhn.rter. It was so neldoeu thate he bad the plhe-asure of seeing Vouind Cake, that he would retain him as long as he coeld. Poundi Cake was jailed for twen ty days and fifty lollars.

The Capitol Commissioners. The Commission was called to order by Gov. McEnery at 5 P. M. Present--Messrs. Manday, Robertson, Richardson and Buffington. After their correction, so astoemblody Mr. JBuftington's enquiry. whether the services of the Su.perinteudent or Archi tect could be dispensed with, the mnin utes of last meeting were adopted. Mr. Ilagan reported himself present. The Governor stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of look ing into the feasability of placing the Capitol in a condition to comfortably neciommioidato the General Assembly and Constitutional oitlicers, in time for the Extra Session which he intended to call for the first Monday in December, prox. lie added that although he preferred that the session should be held in Baton Rouge, if it were possible, that in his anti the opinion of distinguished jurists, the same could legally be held at New Orleans. Mr. BInflington said that the question of the selection of the place where a ses sion would be held was not before the Commuission. It was as to the possibili ty of preparing for the reception of the Assembly and State otlicers by the time muentioned. In his opinion, it was im possible for the plasterer and other con tractors to put the building in a Asuffi cient state of completion by the date mentionetd. No one desired the session held here more than he, yet, he felt con strained to make the above acknbwledg ment. Mr. Munday, said that the lathing was progressing very linely. He had learned that the lime and sand for plastering was not at hand. He did not thiuk that the halls and rooms for the Constitu tional officers could be sufficiently fin ished by the time specified. Mr. IHagan, said that he hadinspected the bailding closely and in his opinion, at this season of the year, the plasterer co'ld not before the 15th of December give more than one dry coat to the Halls and olicer's rooms. Mr. Richardson, said that while the IIalls could not ho plastered in time, yet they could be made comfortable with stoves, doors, etc., while the rooms for officers could be plastered even while the furniture was within, which could be moved about if necessary, as it had beep done in his private office, without serious inconvenience. He believed that the Legislature would do better work *11 as iabaUf'tbed*t. has RwfBowerseene~l D- i t csto rd.* lima Mr. Rub ^+uor a y, sx, wih Mr. W K hi ti ' *ý& eat the rafoding ip in. or: IHose whieh hedid no*iutend fg il- move, until he baabia it4. oIt era be woold bave to be c6l*e e )W he instructed to move it id, Tke ve1rno ta.i tat o e abhe Chg irr ile a order, the ta nteres m- wonud be jeopardized. by necesasitatin an adjotrnment to New Orleans or onvr on sithes die, If the bunag was not ready to ty receive the Aseen5l .

Munday, said that the contrac torn were all at work. Conld,they une. pend the same without serious inconve nienoe and expense pending the meeting ' of the Assembly. He suggested that the d- contractors be consulted. etd Mr. Richardson was of the opininion en that the contractors after preparing suf Io ficiontly the Halls and roome for offi. Id cials, could go to work in the upperato ut ries during the session. The furniture u- could easily be moved about when ne at tessary. The removal of scaffoldinge ry would cost very little. The building 'r" was enclosed and could be made com ill fortable. b- Mr. Bufngton, said the gas fxtures u- te not ready, staircase and fireptJees 0, unfinished, and he could not see that h- the building could with certaintuty be be made comfortable. ti- In reply to the Governor's inquiry be said that it would beddiscreditable to all parties to hold the session in the pres (ent condition of the building, which could not be made comfortable in time. Its occupancy wopld be unsatisfactory to everybody and would, interfere with Ig th! proper progress of the work. ys The Superintendent coincided with the Architect. bie The Governor then put the question 1 In. as to whetlher in the opinion of the Co'in +d missioners the building could be made .+, habitable in time for the first Monday in I D)ecenmber. The vote stood: Ayes-Messrs Richardson and Rob in ertson. n- Noes-Messrs. Buinugton, Hagan and id Mlnday. The Governor desired to learn from id the Architect when the capitol could s- receive the Constitutioual officers. Could ie this be by January 1st ? ,y The Architect could' not say for cer n- tain, as the cold weather would delay )y the plasterer. The etlifice would, be or y~nd any question, he amply completed for the reception of the Assembly and oficials by May 1st. S A resolution requesting the Chairman. to insure the building to an amountnot exceeding I100,0(t), was adopted. Also a resolution reconmmendillg the erl employment of Mr. J. W. Brown, as foreman, by the joiner, Mr. Kiddell, in 4 order to further his work. The work men to be paid weekly on pay rolls ly certified to by the Architect and Super ie intendent, pfovided, Mr. Kiddeill and i- hisanretiesnagree to the proposition. i. On motion of Mr. Robertson a comn mittee composed of Messrs. Richurdsonl Robertson and Munday was appointed to frame a report of the work of the k- commission, same to be submitted to IC the Generally Assembly at its forthcom l, isg session. id The Commission then :idjonr.mel l till to-morrow at II) A.M. 11 · --·- c- Why Not be Happy. 4 Would to God that the people who n ,reside in East Baton Rouge and adjacent is parishes, could pay a visit to "the new s, fields and pastures green," where eni- .1 w gration is going to. They would soon return andl appreciate the great resources ,,n within their grasp, at home, which re ,. quire just about one-half the work that ie is put in, in umany lparts of Texas, for i- instance, to bring to them an abundant z, share of the world's comfort and wealth. ie Here they have all the timber they u- want for fencing, building and heating 2. purposes. They have well watered pas 1. turages for stock and lands that will to produce, fruits, vegetables. cerenlsofall I ,p kinds in great quantities, by the appli n- cation now and then, of native fertlihi g. ers. Compare these resources with those n sections where settlers have to get atI td the railway station the lumber to build Stheir houses, and to haul wood, fuel and at even drinking water, over miles of the u. roughest kind of roads. n.
