CANE PRESENTATION.
Just before the assembling of the House Sat
urday morning, Capt. Kidd, of JackSon, in the
name of the members of the Legislature, pre
seated a handsome gold-headed cane to Mr.
Bidgisy, of Conoordia (colored), as a mark of
their approbation of his unselfish action in re
1 signing his seat in the House to Representative
I Tolliver, and, as he had said, in the interest of
a Louisiana.
The presentation was made iu a short speech
In Captain Kida's usual felicitous style, and the
cane received by Mr. Bidgley with appropriate
r remarks. The inscription on the oane is as fol
lows:
"Hon. Win. Bldgley--rom his Democratic
and Conservative colleagues of the House of Rep
resentatives, as a testimonial of their confidence
and esteen, April 19, 1877."
The event was a very pleasant one, and was
applauded by the lobby.
THE CIHOOL TEACHERM.
They object to a Reduction and Petition
to the Legislature.
Yesterday some three hundred teachers of the
different public schools of the city-ladies and
gentlemen-met at the Boys' Central High
School to draw up a memorial to be presented to
the House and Senate, petitioning these honor
able bodies to replace their salaries at the origi
nal sums, and make an appropriation to that
end.
At twelve o'clock the meeting was called to or
der, and Mr. S. B. Seaman took the chair.
On motion a committee of 16 ladies and 10 gen
tlemen were appointed to draw up the petition
and present it to the House and Senate.
After appointing the committee the meeting
adjourned.
NOT AN EXPERIMENT.
The American District Telegraph Com
pany as a Home Protector.
To those who may imagine that the District
Telegraph is an experiment which has not been
fully tested, we would say that the company has
now been busily at work for more than eighteen
months, and that month after month has noted
a steady increase in the number of their sub
scribers and employes. The District Tele
graph has been so useful an institution that it
is a duty, and a pleasing one, to express our
selves in its respecot. The messenger has always
responded promptly; had not our messages t
been ready before touching the instrument
he would have to wait for us. The positive bene
flit have been great. The expense is so trifling
that we warmly commend it to all who are in
reach of its appliances, Its a noteworthy fact
that the messetgers are capable of hurrying,
and even of running. A single comparison of i
the time occupied by them and by an ordinary
errand boy in going the same d stance, will s- I
tonish the employer of even the most satisfao
tory help, while the intelligence, presence of
mind and business sense of ,he telegraph boys t
is such as cannot fairly be expected of any one
not especially trained to such a business. It
would ,e imp; stlie to make a list of the pur
poses for which the meeoeger of the District t
Telegraph may be called, and equally hard to I
remember what they cannot do. Siuppose you
are awakened at night and begg-d to send at
once for the doctor. Your servant is afraid to I
go. and you have special reasons for wanting to t
remain at home. It )ou have ,iven the name
and address of your doctor to the District Tole
graph. you turn the crank to the word " Special," 0
and let go. The officer at the district office v
understands your wants, and immediately
starts a messenger to inform your doctor that
he is wanted at once at your house, and then F
reports to you that the doctor has been notified. A
A few minutes later you ate informed that it is p
probable a nurse, also, will b3 needed. You
summon another messenger, and dispatch him
for a nurse. Meanwhile, it may be desirable to h
send for a re:ative or near friend, and another F
messenger is called and dispatched. By the y
services of the District Telegraph boys you will C
have accomplished more than you or your ser
vants together could have done, and you have
at the same time rested secure in the feeling b
that you have at your disoosal during the day a
or at all hours of the night as many messen- b
gers as you might need. The instruments of
the District ' elegraph Company are the most P
compact and complete contrivance possible for
put ing at the constant disposal of each house
hold whatever outside assistance it may need
for its service or cefense.
One touch upon this magalc instrument brings b
an errand bor. so swift in his coming, so neat
and alert, that everything looks livelier when
one greets hint. Another touch summons aP
special ofoficer as promtly: another touch to
notify your dortor, while another will bring fire- n

Some time during Friday night a thief by the
same of Edmond Smith. alise Charlie Smith,
broke into the residenoe of Mr. 8. B. Stearv, at
the corner of Sonmat snd St. Charles streete, and
enoceeded in stealing and oaring away fifty
even pieses of eliver. OCaptain Bachemin, hear
ing that the silver had been secreted in a house in
hib precinot, started immediately to work up the
osee, and yesterday unoceeded in recovering all
of the silver in a fence on Basm street, between

API M1IILLIFICA.
In the past history of the various organilz tione
known in the traditions of our city, none have
received such a flattering reception from our
citisens as the new order of Apis Miell.fica, or
the Honey Bees. Many of our largest merchantbs
and prominent men have taken the matter in
hand, and it is thought that within a very short
time the peo le of the city will see the substan
tial results of their work.
Last evening there was a large gathering of
the members, and many initiates were conducted
through the mysterious ceremonies. It is said
that at an early day there will be a publi dem
onstration by the order.

AMUSEMENTS.
THtE BIDWELL TSTIOrwrOXIAL.-There have been
busy preparations all this week among the nu
merous friends of the popular and enterprising
proprietor of the Academy of Music to render a
brilliant success the benefit which is fixed for to
morrow (Monday) night. It promises to be the
great affair of the season. The high esteem in
which the worthy proprietor is held by this
whole community would alone draw a great
crowd. But there have been added other induce
ments and attractions n an admirable bill, which
willafford a rich feast of entertainment and de
light to all lovers of dramatic entertainments.
Among these attractions prominent will be the
reappearance of that acoomplished artist and
rhetorician, F. N. Thayer, who many years ago I
made his first appearance as a professional actor
on the same boards where 'he now occasionally ap
pears as an amateur in behalf of some charitable
associati n or m furtherance of some popular tee

An Extraet frIh a Ppeee of Mr. Evarts
Plcare. d is Washington.
(By telegrsph to the Tribune.]
WasatxovTox, April 15.-The first pub
lie indication that an opposition is re
ally organized in Washington to make
war on the Administration appears in a
large poster with which this city was
placarded yesterday. The number of
I these posters said to have been placed
on the dead walls of Washington is
.2000. A copy was also sent to each
member of the Cabinet and to promi
nent Republicans in other cities. It
I is understood to be the purpose of those
who have caused the placards to be
printed to have them generally dis
tributed and vosted in the leading cities
throughout the country. It indicates
that somebody has money to spend for
the purpose of making, war on the
President's policy. Whose money it is
the authors do not have the manliness
to say openly. As part of the gossip of
the town is the report that this is only
the first of a long series of similar acts
by which it will be followed. The pla
card is printed in large advertising type,
and reads as follows:
WILLIAM M. EVARIS.
BEFORE THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION,
FEB. 1, 1877.
Now for these poor people of Louisi
ana, if the Federal power now under
takes to thwart, to uproot this scheme
of energetic law to preserve society from
destruction, and leaves these unbe
friended, uneducated, simple black peo
ple to the fate from which the State
strove hard to save them, I say that you
will have made them by that action the
victims of your constitution, for your
constitution gave them the suffrage,
and they are to be slaughtered for hav
ing the gift found in their hands. I
say that you made them the sacrifices to
the triumph of the government over
the rebellion. I say that such self
abasement of the powers of the govern
ment is beyond a cure. It teaches the
sad lesson that the American people in
the attempt to make good the largeness
of its promise, and work out the glory
of its proud manifesto of freedom and
equality before the law finds itself
thwarted by the exhibition of violence
in the turbulent population, and forced
with its own hands to crush the methods
of law by which the State has sought,
alasi how vain, to curb and redress this
menance and this mischief to its honor
and its peace.
ASCENNION.
A Refutatlom of Morris Mark's Sgladers
-Ascension Wholly, Solely and Ear
. netly for Nicholls.
Whereas, It has come to our knowledge that
one Morris Marks, laimlong to be Judge of the
Fourth Judicial District, has, in a statement
lately made before the Commission in New Or.
leans, asserted and affirmed that the citizens of
the parish of Ascension would quietly acquiesce
in the Packard usurpation, if recognised and
supported by the Federal government, and no
resistance would be offered to the Packard ad
ministration in this parish;
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned citizens
and tax-payers of the parish of Ascension, do
pronounce the said representations to be entirely
without foundation in fact.
And we do solemnly proclaim that we recog
nize the existence of only one government in this
State--t a government elected by the people, and
of which Francis T. Nicholls Is the lawful execu
tive; that we have formed an unalterable resolu
tion not to pay taxes to, or in any manner sup.
port or recognize toe Packard infamy and fraud,
under any circumstances whatever, and to that
we pledge our sacred honor.

Murder Will Out.
[Paris Letter.]
Perhaps the most horrible and brutal
murder ever committed was that done
by a woman named Baudinaud, at Li
moges, as late as 1809. She strangled
her husband, a shoemaker and then out
him up. She first carried the entrails
and left them in a field, near the city;
then every night she out off a piece, and
at daylight left it in some of the most
frequented quarters of the city. This
operation last five days, the remains of
the body lying concealed in her bed,
while she went about her ordinary avo
cations, telling her neighbors that her
husband has gone to work at Besaucon
with his brother-in-law. At last noth
ing remained but the head, which, to
prevent recognition, she grilled. and
then left it at 5 o'clock in the morning,
in the month of June, at the place
Royale, where a wall was building, in
full sight. In order to make the terri
ble deposits, she carried the limb under
her skirts, attached to a string, and
when she found a convenient place to
get rid of it, she dropped it, taking care
to detach the twine.
The finding of the pieces and the de
tails of this frightful crime caused a
tremendous sensation in Limoges. It
was by the victim's hand that it was
traced; certain unequivocal signs
showed that it belonged to a shoe
maker. We took a census of the work
ing shoemakers of Limoges; Baudi
naud only was missing. They had the
clue; the head was examined, and in
spite of the mutilation all the neighbor
hood recognized Baudinaud. His wife
still persisted in saying that he had
gone to Besauoon, but this was dis
proved and she was imprisoned. She
was not sentenced to the scaffold, but
to the travaux forces for life. She died
*ithin the year from remorse and fright
at the terrible visions which prevented
her sleeping.

these suits were worn veiy much, and when we

are not more generally worn. Just think of t
