Canuon, delegate to Congress from Utah Territory, was at the Grand Pacitic yesterday. Tho gentieman is on his way to Washington, haviuz been away for some days on a leave of absence. To a TRIBUNE re« porter the gentleman stated that times were not very bnd in_ Utah, though it has suffered with tho rest of the country in tbofifrvrnl elped stringency. The mining lntercst has matters considerably, and kept money In circu- Iation. The Mormnona, hie said, wers in no wise treasonably inclined, They were en- deavoring to live up to their tenete, and that was all. The Church, he thought, was dolng as well as during Brig- hum Young’s time under the Twelve Apostles, with John ‘Faglor as the virtual head. The Mormons desired to cncourage immigration and not rctard it. ‘They wero nearly all agricultur- ista and had brought the ‘l'erritory to 1ts prescnt status of prosperity, Salt Lake Cluv and Utah were completely out of debt, and taxes nre pro- portionntely low, being nhead, {o this regard, of Montana, \Wyoming, and her other nelghbors. ‘I'ho crops promised well, and the prospecta for the future wero very bright., The Mormons \wrucsumulnx a conservatlve policy, and ex- pected to oboy the laws, THE OWL CLUD. Snturday ovening the new rooms of the Owl Club, in McVicker's Theatro, wero opened, and tlo mombers treated thomnselves to an informal teeeption, This event thay bo regarded s an epoch u the club history of the city, marking a deckled advance fo the growth of that very use- 1ul class of social fustitutions, The Owl Club wus founded in tho autumn of 1470 upon tho rulns of moro than one awbitlous club scheme, awd {b waa like extending a temptation to Fate when the young Owls boldly feathered their urst in tho very roost of tho defunct Metropol- itans in McVicker's Theatre. ‘[here had been in ibe years 1608-'70 u Press Club, which lin- gered out a meagro existence, and served chiefly us an elcemosynary acent for unfortunate Bo- hemians; but” it ‘porished In the smoko of the great fire, and has never since been heard or seon. About eightcen months ago several journalists and persons connected with tue dramatic profcsslon concelved the idea of start- ing u club which should iuclude in Its member- ship the Niterary, dramatlc, and artisticelements of the city, and the Club was actuatly formed by thirty charter members, on amost economical busls, renting a sulte of rooms ou the third flour of McVicker's, and puttiug in them very ordinary furniture, The original gquarters ot the Club comprised a reading-room, a reception- room, a billiard-room with ono table, n card- room, and two or throe cloak-rooms. Mr. J, .. McVicker was elected President, o position which ho still holds, Mr. Wil E. Chap- man, of Hooloy's ‘Theatre, Bocretary, Mr, C. A. Boowden, of tho Zimes, Vice-Presl- dent, and Mr, John Jeflery, of the Journal, Treasurer. While it caonot bo said that the Club flourished during 1its first yeor, ncither van {tbo sald to have mwade auy downward progress, The places of many of the carlier niembers who dropped out wers contiuually Biled by now elections, and alowly yet steadily tho membership fncreused, At the end of the fArst year thero were sbout fitty people on the tolls, 1o the latter part of last summer an tffort was made to enlarge the scope of the Club by admitting a number of gentlemen from sther professlons and occupations tl thoso mncluded fn the original membership, ‘) dea rroud ruceossful, aud durlog the follow- 0 six months no Jess than fifty new wembers were recelved, and tho Hnances of the Club roso ‘roms u vory low ebb to the tull tide, 1t waa ro. sently determined to enlarge thie accomnoda- tions of the Club :'y securing the roums on the floor below those already occupied, aud duriug the past Iew wocks they have completely renovated, and refurnished with as handsumc furnjture us can be found in uny club-house tn thecountry.

STATE STREET. TWhat One Sees at Night in an Italian Res- taurant, ‘The Signor in a white aprun stood {n the open doorway with a smile of satisfaction on hia nnt particularly good-looking face. In the full Rlare of the gaslight the Signor did not nppear prepossessing. e was, n fact, brutal. Still he smiled benevolently upon the passcrs-by, and to all appearance was in extreme, good- humor, Mo garzed contemplatively &t the meagre array of stale ples that adorned tho window at one sido of him, and vow and then turncd toadmire the pyramid of oyster-shells, surmounted by a block of ice, that, ornamented the otherwindow. Over hishead thersprojected into the street varfous dingy little sign-boards originally Intended to Ioform the world that the Siguor was & dispenser of Baltimer ogsters, lager beer, cigars, ana other cholce luxurics, but long ago rendered dilapldated and alinost Nlegible by wind and weather. Looking In from the pavement one could see a room with high counters on cach side, behind which were rows of oyster-cans and dirty glass jars, the Iatter supposed to contain confectionery. Thers was & vartition at the rear of this Inviting apartment, with a wide aperture tn the midale, on cach side of which were looped up lace- curtalns of questionable color and extremely shabby, Through the door or archway thus formcd was opened up & delightful vista of cheap Brussels carpet, extending fac back, and sceming to be much larger than in reality by reason of belng reflected In & huge pler-glass at the back. The Sigpor had a curfous hablt of patting his drooping Ulack mustache with tho tips of his forefingers, and then gradually passing them over the mustache, bcplzlunlnm in the middle, and progressing outwardly until he reached the last extromity of the last halr, Itis s wonder how the mustache endured such persistent carcesing. He would o‘rnuu onlf long enough to bow and say '*Good avening?! to the people of both sexes who were frequently passing In and out of the restaurant. The customers of tho Bignor were young and old, and with most of them, capectally the females, ho scemed to bo acqualinted. Several young men, with smooth {faces, dressed somewhat fastidlously, luitered lmz and cxchanged o fow words with Signor. Really, he was & man of wide acquaintance. But what was thero insido the restaurant to attract fo many! There were other restaurants {u the neighborhood, but they did not scem to have ball 5o many—no, not & quarter 0 iNany— customers ns did the establishment of Siguor, Let the curlous one enter, but let him not be- tray his astonishinent by 20 much as an elova- tion of the eyebrows at what meets his gaze, TNE BACK-ROOM, OR PARLOR, was fo Itsclf an inoffensive apartment, cxcopt in so far s it was pervaded by nn odor of stalo beer and lee-cream,—for these seemed to be the popular commodities with the cccentric cus- tomers of Slgnor. Thetowere tables extending in two rowa down the length of the oarlor, so arranged s to be screeocd from observatlon from the strcet by the partition already men- tioned. At this lour—it was 10 o'clock at night—thesa tables were graced by a cheerful company, and the buzz of " con- versation, and the clinking of glasses, and the raltling of plates, and the brazen laugh, all combined to produce an cxhilarating etfect. At ono of the tables sat a vencrablo and ateni- fled gentleman with & flowing white beant and n countenance thatat once Inspired the behiolder with respect, His neat black attire, together with his general exxrcu!on of jotelligence and benevolence, showed bim to be a person of deep piety. Doubtless he had come futo this place to labor with its heathen Ircl}uom.em aud this view was all the moro‘{xrohnl) o from the fact that the Lenevolent old gentleman gazed every now and thenat the bottom of an upturned closs, and, alter einacking bis lips, set it down upon the table and smile mnicably upon the rest of the company. - At the same tablo sat nlittls girl of about 13 years, doubtless his daughter, whom he might Yiave hrought there in order that by bor inao- cence hie might touch the bicarts of the assem- blage and soften their minds, and thua give him a better opportunity of carrying on bhis misslonary work. And It was truly touching and charmiog to see the old gentleman put his arm around tho walst of the listle girl occa- slonally, who thereapon smiled fillally up at him, and cagerly drafoed n glass which was bo- fore her, and which probably contained water. Thoe water scemed to contaln strengthening vrapertles, for the little girl, who, by the way, was rather poorly dressed, frur more talkative, and ber laugh was more often heard abaovo the general confusion and uproar that prevailed. Awmong tho accentric customersa of Signor were 3 . A GREAT MANY YOUNG LADIEA * between 20 and 25 {enru of age. Thoy were rencrally handsome, though wearing a recklcss alr, and “thelr atiire was unexceptionable. It was a remarkablo fact that whilo almost ali these young ladies entered the restaurant unat- tended, they wero a few moments later to be Bcen at the tables Io the parlor, each with a cave alle he men wors of all ages, Somo of thein possessed curlous, wandering oycs that were never ot rest, but seemed to be ‘always expect- 1og something or somebody, and most frequent- 1y thelr gazo was turned toward the door, Pere Yinps they were afraid that thioves or robbers might Durst fo upon themn and despoll them of thelr portable property. although, to ba sure, it would be ditflcult’ to toll whero they kept any vportable proverty of value, since their clothics were generally of the shabiby- entcel sort and no watch-chains wero visible, ne adinlrable young man, t is true, displayed to o comrade In' the corner no less thau four silk handkerchiols of different colorsand sizes, but, as he chuckled and seemed to consider it a great Joke,~though why it was a joke it would {mnlu ong to tell,—there was probably nothing o that circumstance. But there was one really singular thlnf. A tall, heavily-huilt, black-bearded wman, sittiog aport from the rest of tho revelers, scemed to be xlnepl( unm{c\l In reading an evening news- paper. Wateblng him closely, however, oue could see that underneath 'his overhanglug brows hia Jittle black cyes were moving rcst- lessly about the rooin, nuw acanning this group and now that, anon ¢lancing towards tho street, and sometimes towards @ door, partiully ob- scured by curtalns, in the rear of the parlor. Now, what was strange was that no leas than five other men scattered about the roomn were con- tinually turning & questioning lovk towsrds bimn, sod as (r:flnnmly turning thelr glance away as if satlsfied, Especlally when any nuw- comer eotered the parlor was this systew of slenals actively in use, DRLEGATES AT LANGH, Then, there were two or thrce wmen who scemed to bo strangers. They might have be- longed tothat very large classof men who live in the smaller towns of the Weast, and who, having sounded the shallows of dissipation at home, lmagine that they understand the pro- found depths of crime ‘and wickeduoess In the preat cities. They wers detnonstrative and Joud of volco, and they pald sdoration to the shrive of femule loveliness by ordering eudlesa drinks, and nstentatiousl!

Then will be displayed the firat apring suits, the first straw hats put In an appearance, and dainty Jittle parasols and sunshiades protest against the too aggressive glances of old Sol. I have scen a quantity of handsomo costumes being prepared for this important occasion, and they are dis. tingutehed by an elezance and tastefulness that promise well for the scason’s fashlons, Striped sliks, combinatlons of . plain silk and bourcties, summer camcl's-hair, cte., are the principal materials, ‘The bourettes and other goods of that style arc loyely, and mnake up with most gratitylog effcct. A very pleasing - tollewte of striped sllk shows narrow 1lnes of dark rich ptum color alternated by others of a more dell- cate shade. The underskirt has three gathered flounces, cach nbout sixincheswide. The lower edge of cach I8 cut in large shallow scallops, and bordered by a pretty little friuge on inch deep, and combining the dark and lght shades which appear fn the silk, The polonoise Is quite long, and is grace- fully draped in the back., The front Is disposed pleastngly hy means of three upturned pleats at the side seains. Tho front and back have In- sertions reachlug from the collar to about a quarter of a sard below the walst line. These nsertions are formed of bias pleves finely shirred and laving down tho centra a double row of emall silk tassels, The siceves have dowrr the outslde a similar {nsertlon, only narrower. To bo worn with this costumo, I8 & cherming Marle 8tunrt boanct of white chip, trimmed with two sbades of plum-colored rlbbon and a wreath of white daisics and unripe mulberrics. Thls latter I8 & graceful garniture, and is_greatly ad- mired by ladice who favorably regard the droop- {og or pendant flowers. Another very ngmh costume has the skirt made witha ve? sfiort traln and reveallng the foot ln front. The only trimming isa decp side- pleating reaching almost to the knecs. 0 skirt and pleatings are both of black satin. The overdress is of a soft woolen materlal, very fine and pllant, and of a lovely fawn-color. It 1s looped up tn even featoons all around, and held In place by tasteful bows of black eatin ribbon, with the roverse a pretly fawn-color. There s o charming littlc coat of the woolen fabric_with cuffs and lapels of black eatin. The vest s pecullarly but most pleasingly arranged. It consists of nar- row alternato folds of “ satin nnd the fawn-col- ored material, Theso folds sre so arranged that they come to a point in thu centre of the front, Sinall bows of satin ribbon serve to con- fine tho veat In leu of buttons, Tho dulnty little chapeau Is of fawn-colored chip, and Is handsomely rarnished with satin ribbon and clusters of pink convulvulus blossoms. Ono cxr}ul»llely charming costume s being prepared for Easter, and it 18 deajined to attract much admiration. It 1s madu of sllk, and com- bines the two lovely shades scen {no tha violet. The dress {tsclf is an indescribable mass of ruf- fies, pleatings, and a moasy fringe. ‘Lhe bonnet 1s & white clip, surrounded with a luvish wreath of fragrant vlolets, and having at the sides a large clustor of white violets, Strings of white satin ribbon arc to be caught beneath the cnin by & bunch of npatural violats, Uloves of the palest lavender tint COMPLETE TIIS LOVELY TOILETTH, A very clegant biack sllk dress shows some rlcrmm: foatures.

The over- dress lins au aprou frout drawn gracefuwly by clirrings at each side. The bottom is cut in deop squares, every other one being upturned upon the overdress ltsell. Each squarc {s bore dered by the fancy brald, and the pendant oncs buvo the additional ornamentation of a heavy and handsowo fringe of cut blue steel. ‘The basque {s nlso cut n squares, and Is trimmed with the rich fringe and braid. " A Pompadour square [ outlined with brald and tringe,%wnd the spaco thus inclosed is thickly wrought with small cut beads. ‘The handsonie cufls are siml- larly ornamented, and tho effect s oxcecdingly pleasing and eapecially brilliant by aslight, Auother beautlfd) black silk costume s also trimmed with beads. The effoct fs somethll peculiar, but witht] Is satisfactory. The dress is lutenned for a aluner toilotte. and is to bo worn by o lady who {s wearing a speciea of Hght and relieved mourning prior to discarding It altogeticr, Tho dress fs made en Princesso, nud hos au immense traln, This latter is cut in flve very uccr large puints, which fall over n fincly lald pleating. The polats aro bordercd by a handsomue row of thread-lace about ecight fnches duu. Over this lace falls & suparb iriuge. It ls composed of slender oval-shuped pearl beads, and |Imrrly-¢u: Jets. A heading about an inch fo depth 1s formed of these beais, and makes an clegant galloon, Across the fronut breadths are three flounces of tha rich luco, hieaded by the walloon, and overlald with frings, The bodice ia cut square in the ncek, and 43 trimmed with fringe aud lace. The elbow sleeves ure triwed to correspond with the rest of the tollette. Thu bottom of the dress in front aud at tho sides s abgolutely without trimming. This costume vetug dupllcated for anotler lag in rose-pink sillc, whito point laco, and cryatal beads. The nu'l'cs exhibited In tho make-up of black silk costuinca are more clegant and pleas- ing than the{ have been for along time, and | can hardly give higher comumendation thun this, Awong the different displays, that of the bou- neta aud hats seems to ino the most ottractive, A pretty bounet of tine white chip Is encircied by a broad scarf of ¢iel bluo satin, coullned at fotervals Ly small gold nails. Small, thick white plumes heavily sprinkled with flns gold flecks ornamunt the outside, and are sceured by & handsome gold orpament Dlue enamaled. An. othier very legant bounet of Maria Stuart shupe is of Uny black straw. The brin {s eiged by w string of small zold beads, every alternate one being oval, while tho otliers are perfectly ruund. “Thie outside n trimmed with folds of black vel- vet and belge-colored satin, A very hand. sume beige-colorcd feather with © gitded quill and belge-tinted flawers with gold centres lend further embelliahi- ment.

Long scarfs of white tulle, edwed with llopltou lace, arc fastcued at the back, sud may be druwn to the front and knotted beueath the chino, under acluster of tea-roscs. A beautiful variety of clip s the Florentiue brouze, It Is very luvely, and has bexldes the putcnt char of “belug sowething quite gew. A VERY XLEGANT CORONRT Lounet s of tLis pretty chip, and is -nhllul:‘y trimmed. A torsade of bronze velvet and gald- colored satin cncircles the crown, snd s fast- ened by o beautiful gold clasp, ' From under this bucklo or clasp comes o handsome, thick ostrich-featber, The corovet iy covercd by a full and haudsome wreath of wistletoo snd swall 0ak Jeaves. A very lovely cottage bonnet of dclicate cresm-tinted colp lias a crown trim- wiog of soft rose-colored silk. A hall-wreath of appla-blossome orvasaents the left side, and a gracaful sprav of the sano droops over tho bair at the back, ‘The brim iz frout.and on the sides fs fnely embroldered with dimfuutive pearl beads. Long searfs of whito tullo are bor- dered at the edges of a pretty bead embrotdery, stg are to be secured n front by a bunch of apole-blossoms. These are sll dréssy bonoets. Of the plaioer hats, those desigued for every- day wear, there is naturslly less to way, The Eurlish walkiug-hats, the Jauuty, becoming Derby, s graceful modification of ibo ever-pop- ular ~Galusborough, are the most admired styles, Tu accompany the charming kitt walk- ng-suits, the simplest hats should be chosen. u gloves thero (s little pew to cbroniclo, Uundressed kids a10 coutiuually increaslug fu favor, as they should, for they are undoudtedly the mivst elegaut and cowfortable of gloves, In sclecting gloves, it s a sale rule by which to be guided Lo cboose them one or two shades lightee than the tollette with which they are to Le worn, The fancy whbich obtalus just nuw amon, a few ultra-faablonables of weariug black an very dark gloves with costumes of lighter shadcs s, tu e, s hileous {de¢a. I caanot lm- agine that such a soleclsm in taste will be coun- tesanced by those to whom we are wccustowed to lovk as accepted leaders. Irewarked the other evening at a dlsmal Lenten entertaln- ment a lady who usunlly attracts conaiterable attention on account of hicr bizarro attire. She was habited In a rich cafe-nu-lait stlk, hand- somely trimmed with magnificent biack lace beaded with amber. Clusters of acarlet chrye santhemuing were scattered here and there over the dress.

THE CALCASIEU LOG WAR. Ita Sensational and Romantic Features, Copresvondence Citcinnati Commercial. New OntgaNs, Lo, Aprit 5,—1 doubt whether vory many of your readers are acqualnted with the trus history of Hchurz's log war. Tho 4 Caleasicu log scizures ' really form the last chapter of a story so warped and deformed by newapaper misrepresentatifon, and so nddled, with telegraphic lies, that the original facts Lelonging to it. have bocomo obscured beyond recognition. Such information as 1 have been avle to obtaln bere concernidg it from trust- worthy sources may therefors prove interest- ing. ‘The Parich of Caleasiou, divided by Lhe Babino River from Texas, Is the most southwesterly of the Loulslana parishes, excepting Cameron, thraugh which, however, 1t has an outlet {o tho sea by tho Calcaslen River, which broadens iuto Caleasicu Lake bofors it flows into the Galt through what 18 known as Caleasicu Pase. Itis one of the Plney Woods parishus, exceedingly rich in timber, but in other respects excecdingly poor. 1ts priucipal town—a pretty but out-ot- the-way little place—Is known as Lako Charles, and {8 historically famous as one of tho favorite rch:fesul Lalitte, the pirate, and his daring band of privatecramen, Among the half-French setticrsand wood-cut- ters of tho forest district of Calcasien the most rimitlve form of poverty nnd rudencss cxiats. 1 fact, the people are Lall wild, aod curlous stories are related of thair manncrs and way of living. Whether thespirit of Lalltte’s Lucea- necrs lingers fu that regton none can say, but such might be nferred trom tho narratives re- lated concerning uative terrors and bullles who lorded it over the country-folk in recont years. Why, it Is even said that the last celebrity, not long since slain, who was kuown by the nume of LeBleu, would borrow a scttler’s wife for n week of & month whenever ho pleased, and keep her at bis Jog-cabin without a word of re- monstranee from her husband. ‘These storics ara not speclally eredible, but suchstories coutd only obtain birch in a locality where the social conditions border on wildness, Formerly agriculture, and subscquently cat- Ue-ralsingr, were the pursuits of the people of Caleaslen, Latterly the whole district lias been thriving on the timber business, Cattle-ratsing s been abandoucd for wood-cutting. Now, it happened, however, that 00 per cent of the Calcaslcu timber actually grew upon Government Innds, and belunged'to thy United States. ‘I'ho timuer trade was by ns meana strictly legitimate, because the titmber was not always pald for, but it wns highly protitable. Four-fifths of the population lived by the thn- ber tratile, and the pme was shipped to Mexi- can, Texan, oud West Indlan ports *by o line o1 small schouncra. It scems that a number of smart Yankecs, together with several unscruplous Southeruers, actually suttied down at Lake Charles for the express purpose of growinug fat upon the profits uf tlmoer-stealing, ‘There were Uovernmeut agents appointed to prevent such things, in- deed, but they could be bought up cheaply. fho supply of timber was almost inexhausti- ble, aud tiie lucality so reniote aa to preclude all Itkelinood of chanco exposures, Sixteen saw- nllls were soon humming and buzzing on tho Calcasieu River, and a whole flect of achooners was bearing the yellow pine to ports in South Amerlea nnd the Aotllles, ‘The wild {nhiabitants of the woods went into tho lumber busincas with o vim worthy of Cana- dlan or Norwegian timber-cutters, They worked at ridiculously low prices, aud the aaw-mills purrod over ncals which even excceded their enormous powers of masticatlon and digestion. ‘Then were built now, saw-mills, and the flcet of sclioouers prew to fifty or sixty sall, and thoe smart Yankees grew exceedinely rich and mighty, Goveroment Supervisors had been Imld to hold thcir tongucs; and the Caleasion umbor trade had grown to vastness befora the Government koew what the matter was, 1t must not be supposed, nevertheless, that lumber-nerchants atd spaw-mill owncrs acted in open detlance of law. They were shirewd men, #ud Kuew better than that. Governmeut So- rcrvuon were always approached very cautious- y, and timber would be purchased it it could not be satisfactorily stolcn, Wood-hoppers were never, under any circuinstances, instruct- cd to attack Government timber, They were left to act upon their own responsibllity,” They were slmply instructed to furnish so many logs per aunum’ to tha saw-mills, the mill-owners alfecting tenorance s to the place whence the logs camie from, and pever asking unpleasant questions, But, of course, tho mill-men knew perfeetly well that Government tlinber was ubout tlis only timber obtainable, ‘The tree-fellers worked under contract much a4 the plantation-negro works on shares. e wgreed to furnish, say 3,000 logs per annum, and obtalned advancés as the work provceded. ‘Tese advauces consisted invarlably in orders upon country stores for supplics,~grocerics, axcs, powder and shot, drugs or medicines, It hu got {nto trouble, the mill-owner engaged a luwyer for him3 if his wite, was confined, a phy- slcian, ‘The lawyer and the physiclan obtained again from the company of mill-owucers orders payable only upon fulfillment of contract by client or patlent, And at tho end of the year, when thu logs were actually delivered, the wood-cutter Was often In ‘dobt, and sol. dom bod a larger share fn the Umber than a Mississippl negro has o & cot. ton bale made **on sbares’—ho had consumed his earnings in supphivs purchascd on order at exorbitant rates, The storekeepers also throve upon this system; aud the whole community was rondered dependent upon the work of the woodstuen, 1t will bu evident to tho reader that, under such circumstances, any Goyvern- meaot interference with sue lumber trade of Calcasfen would proyoke the Indignation of the whols parish, and that every nossible mecans waould be taken to prevent such interference, The Qovernment got wind of this nice state ot uffairs ot Inat, and sent down an agent named Robiuson ta juvestizato the matter and to pro- tect its intercsts, Robinson wus offered o heary brive of at least $10,! which he accepted, and the Government wus hoodwinked, s nzent lived gloriously at Calcasicu for a while, reeciv- {ng u sturopage of from $30 to $200 on the tim- er Robinson probably thought he was playlog asmart guine; but'the smart ramne was really plaved by the lumber worchants at lake “larles, They nad simply set n trap for him, and hio foll fnto {t head forcmost. After hay- fog placed him In such a position that he would not dare to complain, they dotermindd to mako lifm disgorge the $10,000 he had received.

Un- der orders from the Attorucy-General, United States Marshal Pitkin sent down to Caleasien snd seized about 100,000 logs of Government thuber alrcady “boomed.” u this affulr the Government procceded cn. tirely under State law. The lumbermen applied fora writ of scquestration, uud laid plans o get the timber in thelr own hands us soon as possible, 80 that they could run it through their saw-mlils, after which no human belug could vo fdentitled It. They clalmed the right to boud ™ the logs, But tho Governmnent bad the right to make an inventory of the timber before anythlog else could be doue, for an lu- ventory hiad to be taken beforg the loge could Lo appraised, aod the lozs had to be appraised before they could Lo bonded, 8o strong was tho fecliuz opainst the Marshal st that timethat hie waa oblized to sead for troops to prolect bim 8t Calcaslen. Pitkin went out of office about that time, and Jack Wharton becaine United Btatea Marshal. Wharton {s & typical type of the Texan, Hels # thick, colossal msn of almost {ncalculable streogth and sdamantive resolution. In Texis he ufied two orthree noted desperasdoes who at~ tempted bis life.

His ordinary tone of voles owns a natural growl, and, In gesturing, he has a hablt ot fiinging bia hand out in a steady lne, 08 Lhough shooting somebudy, Few men woald attempt, alter a goni look at Wharton, to vffer him a ‘“‘conslderation,” or to_try whether o could be hoodwinked. If the Government had heen aceking an ollicer to represent its Intcrests at all hazards and {n the teeth of atl vpposition, it conlil not have cliosen A inore cavable one. Wharton did not, at that time, however, think 1t at all necessory to go {n person to Caleasiou, e sent his deputics to Lake Charles and vicin- 1ty to make the inventory required. ‘The deputies had a terrible time, and the job was a terrible one. First, It svas aeccssary, often when n discussion aroso fu n doubtfut Jo- vality, to measurs trees by certain stumps; again, the assistance of profcssional log-turncrs hadt to ba secured 3 and the denuties had to exe pose themselves to dangerous situations in the eearch for marks of [dentidceation.

They were so intimidated and worried that eeveral begied to be vaia off and dismisscd, and wrere acconlingly discharged, 1t was neceasary that the ventory should ull be made in the presence of not lvas than two wit- nuases; and so united was the indignation of tho whole community at these proccedings that no one could be found to serve In that capacity, until tho Marshal picked out twoof his own poese for that purpose, At last eversthing was ready for appratsing. 1n" tho meantime the timbernen of Lake Charles were ralsine the wind, Telegranha were scat to Washington sad to Northern pa- pera ilenouncing Wharton and the Govermment agent, Larter, The New Orleans press was heavily feed to bolster up the fraud and ralso an outcry ot persccution. One cditor i report- ed to have receivod a feo of 835 for every nrticle on the subject. It was made to appear that the tovernment agents were robbing und starv- Ing the people of Caleaslcu. Then Leonard Sewell and a lawyer named Chamberinlu were nrpolnlell Apnmlseu. The tinbormen bought them up. _ Chamberlaln, belug forced Lo resign by Judee Billings, of the District Court, turncd round and offered his services as uttorney to the timbermen, and has since heen their legal ad- viser. 8Scwell used all his {nfluence agatust the UGovernment ngont, the United States’ Marshal, and the Marshal’s deputies. Whon the time came to give bond, the lumbermen offered straw bond, which was refused. * Fiuaily Whartou became disgusted and went up to Ualeasieu In person, determined to **atralghten things out.” The tmbermen vainly endeavored to conciliate bim. He told them to put their complaints in writing an he would answer them, They asked for the privilege of o private inter- view, and the result detorred then from asking such a thing mnre thon once. To all thelr argu- ments he stlontly opposed his written orders and warrants, On ‘the sequestration question ho declarcd that the Govermment timber should never poss into their. sawmills except as Goy- ernment timber, and never be sawn by their saws tinless tha Governmout_should hiré them to do it under supcrvision, [I they so desired, however, ho would writo to Washington on thelr behalfy as ho supposed tho Government could got its timber cut as cheaply at Lake Charles as anywhere etse. They wers at thelr wita’ ends by that time, as it may well be supposed they wotlld make no such arrangements, ‘The Marshal snaw, however, that the timber seized, being perishable property, was dimin. 1sbing in value, and flnally advised the wili ine to make arrungements for its sale and purchase under proper conditions,—thc money, ol course, to remain soquestered In the Marshal's hands according to law. To this tho lumbermen agreed, becauso it afforded them a last chance ta play at frund. ‘Thoy at once formed a power- ful ring, and made arrangements to purchasy back the logs uf about flve centa per loy ! No one would dare to bld against them. Wharton, however, was equal to the oceasfon. He detected the plot on the first day of the sale, sold only oue lot of lors atten cents,—the hizhest bld he could force.—audat once stupped the sale, or rather adjourncd it for pretended reasons. ) The ring, however, fclt that Wharton was golng to do tne onl zhhuilthn could be done— make Carfer bid for ths Government, and thus breale thelr organization into pleces. They ot onco threatencd to kL Carter, and threatcned in such a manner that Carter could not but understand tho full significance of it, Wharton heard the threat, and quietly went down to the lumbermen's hoadquarters, 4 Bomebody "1l have to'get away with me.” he sald, " before killlug Carter, "I'm going to break up that ring, or fight, Of course thero’s 600 of you, and only forty of us.

Carter bid for the Qovornment, aud no one dared to do any more turcatening. f1s only bid {n the logs, however, at 30 or 40 conta; but the ring was broken, and the timber men Jelt they wero defeated. ‘They saw that ncitber bribery, nur trivkery, nor fii- timidation, would help thelr case In ‘the loast, and they concluded to yield. Accardingly they confessed Judgment {n the voure, und the Goy- ernment las recovered possession of all the property {n dispute, cxcepting u lot of about £0,000 value, clatmed by one party. So cnds the log-contest. The sequel Is that Loonard Sewell has heen seeking vengeance by m-luf to persuade the Government “that tta oliiciols acted n s high- havded manner, and that Jack Whartun's hond waa worthless, But the buvkers and wesithy brokers and cotton-factors proved otherwine, ond if Wharton wanled a bond of hall u i~ {on, he could li“ 1t for the asking, An cffort will undoabtedly be made to persecute Carter nnd the Marsbal ut Washlngton, but the efort van scarcoly prove suvcessful.
