Scene. A court of Justice In
North Carolina.
A beardless disciple of Themis
rises and thus addresses the court.
"May It please your worship and
you gentlemen of the Jury, since It
has been my fortune (good or bad
I will not say), to exercise myself
in lefcal disquisition, it has never
befallen me to be obliged to pros
ecute so dlrefully marked an as
sault. A more wilful, violent and
dangerous battery, and finally a
more diabolical breach of the peace
has seldom happened in a civilized
country, and I dare say it seldom
has; been your duty to pass upon
one so shocking to benevolent feel
ings as this whtch took place over
a Captain Rice's in this county;
but! yon will hear from the wit
nesses."
The witnesses being sworn, two
or three were examined and de
posed : One said that he heard the
noise but did not see the fight ; an
other that he saw the row, but did
not know who struck the first blow ;
and: another that he was very
drunk and could not say much
about the skrimmagt?.
Lawyer Chops I am sorry, gen
tlemen, to have occupied your time
with the stupidity of witnesses ex
amined. It arises, gentlemen, al
together from a misapprehension
on my part. Had I known as I do,
that I had a witness who was ac
quainted with-all the circumstan
ces of the case, and who was able
to make himself clearly under
stood to the court and jury, I
should not have trespassed so long
on your patience. Come forward,
Mr. Harris, and be sworn.
So forward comes the witness, a
fat, Ichuffy old man, a leetle"
corned, and took his oath with an
air. (
Chops Harris, we wish you to
tell about the riot that happened
the Other day at GapU Rice's, and
as a good deal of tiuie has already
been waisted In circumlocution, we
wish you to be compendious, at the
same time as explicit as possible.
Harris Adzakly, (giving the
lawyer a knowing wink, at the
same time clearing his throat.)
Captain Rice he gin a treat, and
cousin Sally Dillard she comes

my wife she moutn't go? I told

as how there was a log across the

The Louisiana Trouble.
Warmouth, the man who the
Democracy of Louisiana and the
South are so much exercised over
Just now, is the carpet-bag Govern
or of that State, and recently de
nounced by them as the greatest
scoundrel of the age. Indeed, he
lias been denounced by both parties
from one end of the country to the
other for his shameful conduct.
Warmouth became very distaste
ful to the President because of his
course in Netv Orleans, and this feel
ing on the part of General Grant
was manifested to such a degree
that Warmouth, in the recent elec
tion, refused to support him, and
went off with the Greeley coalition.
Thl had the efiect to do away with
the bad feeling which had all along
existed with the Democracy against
Warmouth. He joined In the cry
of "anybody to beat Grant," and
ceased to be denominated a rascally
caroet-basreer by this immaculate
set.
The Greeley party failed to carry
the Legislature of Louisiana, and
Warmouth, who wants to be United
States Senator, has gone to work to
manipulate the Legislature so as to
elect himself.
With this obiect, and to more cer
tainly accomplish it, he tried to
persuade the Lieutenant Governor
to assist him in his plans, and of
fered him a bribe of fifty thousand
dollars if he would do it, which the
Lieutenant Governor refused.
Under a law of the State the Gov
ernor appoints a Returning Board,
which counts and decides upon the
election returns. Two of this Board
were objectionable to Warmouth, so
he turned them out and appointed
others in their places. This action
of his was decided illegal by the
courts, consequently there are two
Returning Boards, and as a result
of their work, two Governors and
two Legislatures.
Grant carried the State by 14,000
majority, according to the returns
from the counties as iriven by the
newspajers long after the election.
Warmoth's RitUiMin Board gives
It to Greeley by 7,000 majority.
That they committed pros fraud in
the counting of the vote is beyond
doubt ; and it is obvious that War
mouth disposed of the two objec
tionable members of the Board for
tho purpose of enacting fraud.
The President is entirely satisfied
as to how the State went in that
election, and so is every one else
who has had an opportunity to
know anything about it, whether
they will say so or not. It is a
fraudulent arrangement, trumped
up between Warmouth and the
iJemocracy of Louisiana, to so count
the vote as to give the? State to the
Democrats, and procure certificates
for a sufficient number of defeated
Iemocratic candidates for the Leg
islature to elect Warmouth to the
Senate,
Governor Warmouth has been
impeached by the lawfully elected
Legislature, and the Lieutenant
Governor is now the acting Gover
nor of the State, and recognized by

"Virginia."
Among the other works of Mr.
Ezekiel, now of Berlin, Prussia, is
now the plaster model of an ideal
Statue, entitled "Virginia," de
signed for a memorial monument
to the dead of that State. It has
arrived in this country and been
sent direct to Richmond, Va., and
a photographic copy of it will be
placed on exhibition at Phip &
Solomons' to-day. k-
The design is that of a female
figure in ancient dress and armor,
setting in a mourning attitude and
rather penseroso Style, with her
right foot resting on a broken can-!
non. which is partly buried in the
earth. In her left hand is held a
spear reversed, and over the can
non creeps an ivy vine. Marked in
the features of "Virginia" is the
wo that is hard to bear, though
gnawing deep. The cannon lies
buried like the 'hopes of her sons
were for the time being. '
The anatomy of the figure, dra
pery, and detail are executed in a
masterly manner fo far as can be
judged from a. photograph. It is
designed to be c.v eutetl in marble,
and will in all p. -lability be ready
for exhibition at tho next Indus

Bible Pictures.
BY HON. R. P. DICK.
NoTl.
The scenes in the life of our Sav
iour have furnished the highest
themes and subjects for the genius
of the poets and artists whose pro
ductions have contributed so much
to the enjoyments of mankind, and
elevated and refined our modern
civilization.
The Bible Pictures of the Old
Masters are uni ers..iy conceded to
be models of tl.o highest excellence,
and time hr. creased the admira
tion of the lovers of the beautiful
in art.
When the desolating tides of war
sweep over Europe, all nations are
solicitous to preserve these works
of genius, and when any of them
are defaced or destroyed, the event
is regarded as a misfortune to civ
ilization. It is not the skill of the
artists alone that receives such rev
erential homage, but it i3 the holy
associations which are suggested by
their magic pencils to the yearning
hearts of man kin J.
The beautiful character of Christ
His eventful life His holy mis
sion and glorious sacrifice, touch the
tenderest chords of huma. sympa
thy and love ; aud with a silent but
wonderful power, draw all men un
to Him. To the Christian, the
contemplation of Christ is a source
of high and unceasing joy, and he
never becomes weary with the rep
etition of those scenes, which he
loves more and more, as he presses,
onward through the cares and tri
als of life to reach the Everlasting
Rest.
I propose to present sketches of
various scenes in the life of our
Blessed Saviour, and in many of
them, I fancy myself to bean eye
witness, in order that I may the
more readily give the striking out
lines of the picture.
THE ADVENT.
All hail to thee, beauteous little
Bethlehem Ephratah, wrestling
among the fertile hills of Judah,
encircled with green valleys and

the President. The only thing else
that Uenerai Urant proposes to do,
is to keep the i-ace between the
contending parties, until the matter
can be settled in a proper way, if
not satisfactorily before the legal
tribunals in Louisiana, by appeal,
which can be had, to the Supreme
Uourt or tne Nation.
The President has committed no
error. Under the decision of Jude

he had a right to do all he has done,

pitiful complaints.

Democrats intend, in all the South

Some' two months ago a resident
of Maple street named Broef wa
taken ill with some sort of fever,
and lor two weeks there was little
hope's of saving his life. He con
tinued to sink in spite of all the
physicians could do, aud they final
ly gave him up. All through his
sickness the man had continually
asked for pickles anei cider, and
when he had got so low that hi.
death was considered only a ques
tion of a few hours, Mrs. Broef de
cided to gratify his wishes. A glass
of sweet eieler was given him, a
spoonful at a time, and he declared
"that he felt bette'r for it. More was
given through the night in place of
medicine, anei the next morning
the doctor declareel that a most
favorable change had taken place.
Some good strong pickles were pro
cured and given him, and he began
to call for gruel and broth. To be
brief, he is now able to move around
the house, and everybody in the
neighborhood, as well as the physi
cian: gives the cider and pickles the
credit of performing the cure.

Time has roiled his waves of the
ages over thee ; and sweet memories

shaelow of those towering rocks, he

those walls he received the holy

brow.
Along those steep paths once trod
the gallant sons of Zeruiah who led
the victorious armies of Israel ; and
close by are the gardens, fish-ponds
and fountains which Solomon built,

foresaw with holy rapture, and
which is the center of human his
tory. Crowds have filled every house in
the City of David, and two way
worn travelers are standing at the
gate anei seek in vain a hospitable
abode among their kindred. That
sweet virgin face ought to touch
every chord in every heart with
sympathy, for it is full of beauty,
gentleness and love. It is a face
that might inspire the genius of a
poet or painter, almost to adoration.
The weary travelers have at last
found shelter in the stable of the
inn ; and in that lowly abode, with
humility and thankfulness, they
rest frm the toils of their journey.
Now the sun has gone down in
his glory, but he leaves a crown of
opaline splendors upon the brow of
the westward mountains. The low

the echoes from their cavern slum

shepherds are preparing for their
night-watch beneath the silent. stars.
Arcturus with his suns, Orion with
his bands and the sweet Pleiades

South ; and behold that stranare
evangel star, walking in quiet beau
ty though the. sparkling fields of

steps of the devout Magi from the
starland of Chaldea. Alt nature is
now hushed in profound repose,
and even the breezes, on poised
wings, seeMii to be slumbering. A
flood of shining light beams over
the valley, and the affrighted shep
herds; and an angel-voice breaks
the silence of the night with the
glorious evangel, "Fear not. for be-

angels, upon the glorious morn of
Christ's second coming. When the
symphonies of the Cherubim and
Seraphim had ceased, the shepherds
went in haste, and in the manger of
Bethlehem, saw the grandest event
of earth, a poor, helpless babe,
wrapped in swaddling clothes, and
yet "God manifest in the flesh."

The New Administration of
North Carolina.
The Inauguration of the State of
ficers elected in Auguust last takes
place at Raleigh to-day. Tod R.
Caldwell will be sworn in as Gov
ernor for the next four years; Cur
tis H. Brogden, as Lieutenant Gov
ernor; David Jenkins, as Treasurer ;
William H. Howerton, as Secretary
of State; Tazewell L.. Hargrove, as
Attorney-General; and John Reil
ly, as Auditor.
These officers are all thoroughly
Republican, of course; but they are
not thoroughly corrupt arid un
principled as are most of the Radi
cal officials who have proven curses
to the South since the war. On the
contrary they are men of fair abili
ties, and for the most part disposed
to be honest and just in their deal
ings, either as private individuals
or as public officials. Judging from
the character and past careers of the
men, we do not think they will
prove derelict to the duties which
by their inauguration to-day will
devolve upon them as officers of
our State Government for the next
four years. There is no good sub
stantial reason to believe that they
will be otherwise than faithful to
the trusts reposed in them, and
honest in the conduct of the mat
ters and things appertaining to the
official stations which they are
elected to fill. Let us indulge in
this hope, at all events; and how
ever much we may dislike to see
inaugurated an administration
chosen by negroes and a small pro
portion only of the white popula
tion of the State, still let us not
heap upon them the severe cen
sures which Southern Radicals,
with some few exceptions, richly
deserve.

A correspondent writes from

Washington Chronicle as follows: If
properly fostered, and the Republican
press and party give tho honest thinking
men of tho South no further reason to
write them "radical," it will cause grat
itude to take the place of vindictiveness,
and reconciliation, like the plant of
Southern growth, will shortly take deep
root, and springing up, become a tree of
such gigantic propoi tions that its fol

Be deceived, but for coughs, colds, sore

culties, use only
WELLS' CARBOLIC TABLETS.
Worthless imitations are on the
market, but the only scientific prepara
tion of Carbolic Acid for Lung diseases
is when chemically combined with oth
er well known remedies, as in these
Tablets, and all parties are cautioned
against using any other.
In all cases of irritation of the mucous
membrane these Tablets should be free
ly used, their cleansing and healing
properties are astonishing.
Be warned, never 'leglect a cold, it is
easily cured in its incipient state, when
it neeomes enronic tne cure is exceed
ingly difficult, use Weils' Carbolic Tab
lets as a specific.
