NOTES.
--Last month was the coldest June that
Minnesota has experienced in a dozen years,
and one of the rainiest.
--Prince Bismarck, formerly an inveterate
smoker, has been obliged to restrict himself
to one pipe after dinner. Champagne he has
been required to abandon altogether.
-Pennsylvania has a Legislative committee
at work in Pittsburg, examining into the sys
tem of convict labor by contract, and its
effect upon the industries of the state.
-Prince Bismarck, who reached Berlin
Munday, remained only a short time. He left
at noon for Schouhausen, whence he will pro
ceed to Friedrieheruh, returning to Varzln,
via Berlin, in the course of a week.
-The Raleigh Observer asserts it as a no
torious fact that at one time about two-thirds
of the United States Senate and about the
same proportion of the Governors of the
Southern and Western States were natives of
N;orth Carolina.
--Some of the East India railways are be
!ing supplied with "punkahs," or huge fans,
which are suspended in the cars by an iron
rod, and are revolved by a Chinaman who sits
on a platform outside the car and is protected
by a canvas awning.
--Nobody has yet been able to tell how
many counties there are in Texas, but they
elaim down there that two are each as large
as the State of Massachusetts, one as large as
Connecticut, and two would together make
about forty Rhode Islands.
S--he Sacramento(Cal.) Unignsays that for a
month past a singular epidemic has prevailed
among children in that city in the form of
abscesses in the head. It attacks even in
fants, and is very painful until the abscess
breaks, and quite dangerous also.
-A California paper says; "A very decided
shock of earthquake occurred at Bakersfield
on Saturday night, June 23, about 11:30
o'clock. It seemed to be in the nature of an
upheaval rather than vibratory. Buildings
were shaken, and the force of the shock was
sufficient to arouse people from sleep, but no
damage was done."
-An eminent French physician says that
the decrease of dyspepsia and bilious com
plaints in Paris is owing to the increased
consumption of apples in that city, which he
affirms is an admirable prophylactic and
tonic, as well as a very nourishing and easily
digested article of food. The Parlsians de
vour one hundred millions of apples every
year.
-Mr. Whitely Stokes, the new legal, mem
ber of the Indian Council, in a recent speech
sketched the plan determined on for the cod
Ification of the Indian laws. He said the
work would occupy at least nine years, but
would result in a code which will be the envy
of England and the world. This code, how
ever, is to leave untouched the Hindoo, Budd
hist and Mohammedan laws, which govern
the rights of property and succession of near
ly the whole country.
THE SUNEONNET OF OUR NOTHERS.
The sunbonnet of our grandmothers
has reappeared in Springfield, and the
Republican says: "When one ventured
on Main street the other day every man
who passed was tempted to look inside
of it, and those who succeeded saw a
sweet plump face in which the sparkle
of the eyes and every dimple and fea
ture produced its best effect because so
well shaded. We are confidentially
informed that they become every style
of complexion and face and ' make sim
plicitle a grace.'"
Ruselans and Germnant.
The explanation which the Spectator
gives of the tardiness of the Russian
army is a very shrewd one. It says
taat the staff has got the campaign of
1870 on the brain; it wants to have
hosts equal to the German ones with
the same precision, the same unfailing
success, and the same earthquaky re
suits; it aims to do everything on a
gigantic scale, and to move men by the
hundred thousand across a broad river
but finds that the task involves difficul
ties only to be met by a grievous ex
penditure of time. The Russian forces
fight well, maneuver well, and are well
drected; but there' is a want of "go "
among them, a disposition to have
everything prepared as if an army were
a match, a tende y to wait for over
whelming massesa artiller?, which
reveals a certain want f self-confidence
not to be anticipatedin a conquering
people. These striotnats are made by
the great Liberal weekly which has
criticised the policy of the British gov
ernment most unmercifully, espoused
the cause of Russia, and hailed the war
as the most just and necessary of mod
ern times. British generals, however,
have been charged with making war
lith wMth in bhad.

The Fourth of July passed off very
quietly at Coushatta. The colored peo

American Independence on the 5th, in
the immediate vicinity of Colfax. Their
reason, they say, for observing the 5th

In Pineville, on Monday morning, a

Pau, immediately crossed the river and
made all effort to capture Boyd, but
without effect.
The parish school board, which met

chosen according to their grades as
shown by the recent severe examina
tinns.
Of the teachers who have heretofore
so ably filled the places to which they
have again been chosen it is needless to
say anything. Of the new ones, Mrs.
Wagner is a native of Louisiana, and a
graduate of the Peabody High School
in New Orleans, founded by Mr. Lusher
with the assistance of the Peabody
fund.--Shreveport Times.
[The Mrs. Wagner referred to is, we
are glad to state, the daughter of our
popular railroad friend Thomas E.
Cranmer, Esq., of the Great Jackson
road, from whom we learn that in the
examination Mrs. Wagner lacked but
one point of being "perfect," something

TIIE RETURNING BOARD INDICT
MENTS.
Views of tle Country Press on the Indict
ments of Wells, Anderson & Co.
[Rapides Gazette.]
The question presented is whether
forging and altering election returns is
a political offense. Our opinion is that
it is no more political than embezzle
ment or any other crime or offense
committed by an officeholder, and our re
collection is that when the question was
before the Electoral Commission and
the Democrats ·were trying to bring
proof on this point, it was decided by
them that it was a matter belonging
exclusively to the jurisdiction of the
State courts and that if the Returning
Board has forged and altered the re
turns for presidential electors our only
remedy was by prosecutions in the
State courts of Louisiana.
Now that the State authorities are
pursuing the very course pointed out to
them by the very best Radical authority,
they themselves are raising a howl. We
say let them howl. Fiat justitia ruat
coelum. There can be no better time
than now to teach all public officers
that they are the servants and
not the masters of the people.
There can be no fitter subjects
of whom to make an example than
these same four men whose insolence
in power was autocratic and whose
contempt for the people and their rights
or authority, was shown by the utter
indifference with which they treated
their protests, and the haughtiness
with which they denied and spurned
every appeal for justice and fair play.
If we are indeed to have a constitu
tional government, let these confessed
criminals be prosecuted to the full ex
tent of the law, and made to feel the
mighty hand of that power they once
overrode with such self-complacency
and scorned with such assurance of
safety.
We hope that the Attorney General
and the courts will not falter, and that
in the end these mighty princes of un
bridled power may be made to feel the
heavy hand of the law they despised
and outraged, and to bow to the author
ity of the courts they have heretofore
held in such insolent contempt.
[Shreveport Times.]
Of course the speculations in the New
York dispatches are more gammon. It
is not probable that so prudent a man
as Gov. Nicholls would in advance of a
conviction, put himself on record as
shielding a criminal, whether high or
low, from punishment. Nor is it
probable that any considerable por
tion of the Conservative party
which elected him Governor, would be
willing to do so stupid a thing as make
the honest exercise of the constitutional
pardoning power a ground of impeach
ment of the chief magistrate of their
own choice. These newspaper corres
pondents must have something sensa
tional to write about, else their occupa
tion would be gone.
But it is not altogether impossible
that the friends of the Administration
are in reality indignant. They owe too
much to these men to complacently
view the punishment of crimes from
which they have derived so much bene
fit. Mr. Hayes holds an office by a
fraudulent title manipulated through
the agency of these criminals. It is
natural that he should dislike to see
them disturbed, and deeds overhauled
which he knows will not bear the light
of day.
But we do not see that the indigna
tion and dissatisfaction of these men
have anything to do with the admin
istration of the criminal laws of Lou
isiana. We do not understand that the
poor privilege accorded to the State of
Louisiana to be ruled unmolested by
State officers, fairly elected by the peo
ple, carried with it a general amnesty to
all the greatest criminals within the
limits of the State. If it did, then
the privilege were a barren one. For,
if the men who were engaged in a con
spiracy to prevent such a consumma
tion, and who violated the penal laws of
the State in the accomplishment of
their purposes, are allowed to go un
punished, there is no saying when they
may not again successfully commit new
crimes similar to those from which they
are freed.
No one had any right tu compromise
the rights of the people of Louisiana
by any bargain however favorable, nor
do we think that any one has done
so. And we are glad to see that the
officers of justice are taking this view
of the subject. Committees are at
work investigating every department
of the State administration.
This investigation were useless if the
crimes discovered are to be condoned
or ignored. They will not be passed over
lightly. The men who have outraged
the people of this State must be brought
o justice. It is only in this way that
he conservative government can vindi
cate its claim So the confidence of the
people.
AN APPALLING LIST.
The following named gentlemen, of
Kemper county, are said to have been
killed by the Radicals of that section,
led by Chisholm and Gilmer. The list

kill the'leaders of the murderous band:

The market opened with a fair inquiry, but
only moderate sales were reported during the
morning, after which the movement became
more animated, and the entire business summed
up the fair amount noted above.
Under the increased confidence inspired by the
New York telegram factors adhered more firmly
to their previous pretensions, and in some cases
realized prices which they have been unable to
obtain at any time during the past week, but
while the advantage was generally in their favor,
a fair portion of the business was at our inside
fgures for the grades above Low Middling, at
the same time the lower grades were sufficiently
stronger to require the revision of our quotations
as above.
Tie dispatches reported Liverpool opening
with an upward tendency, but closing without
any quotable improvement and with sales of 8C00
bales, arrivals steady and closing firm. Havre un
changed with a good demand for stocks, and New

futures, which closed at a net advance of 11-100@
12.100c in Julys to September inciusive, and 6-100

The Exchange makes the amount on shipboard (
