Tt was hiothing more hot Tess thin 4 local rquabble after varish offices, * beginning i Jugk sheppardism and winding up more serfonsly shan ever the partles tinplieated expected. To prove this statement {t will be necessary to give 5il the details, aa gdthered on ‘the spot by o representative of the New Orleana Daily Times, qent thither for the' purhose of getting atthe true inwardncss of the affair, gt. Mary Is fo'tha Third Congiésstonal District, the vote of which helungs, in point ol numbers, 7O THZ REPUDLICAN PARTY, There would have bech 19 question about the * yeault of tho late clection there but for the fact {hat the Repmbllcan votd was divided betweeen two wings, the one headed by Merchant and the other by Ieherte As far as the two last gentle-. men were concetned, tha electlon tesulted, as Is well known, fn the defeat of both and In the electlon of Acklent. The parish officers elected, howaver, wero ail Republican, some befog mem- bers of one wing and some of the other. Duptl- cate sets of the returns wera prepared according folaw, ono buing placed Inthe hands of the shmn’. and the other 1n those of the Cletk of she Farlsh District Court, @, R. M. Newman, ‘This much b{ way of {\remum On thie nlebt of the 8th, Newman tras fn- formed by a frlend that a rafd was about to be made upon the Court-llouse by partics desirous of obtainlng the returus. Me, therefore, immedi- stely went to his oflice and brought the sct of returns of which be had_custody to his house, That nlht the clerk’s office was Lroken upen, snd alt the election-pancra fonnd therc were de- sroped. It was not. until next day, however, ihat the ralders discovered that they had only made way with the Bheriff’s set of returns, and that those of the Clerk of the Court were stll iatit, ur\'uw, the object of obfalning these returns was to desttoy them, and with them the eyi- dence that Republicans had been clected to the parish offtees. Thu want of proper eridences of election would give the Governor of tho Btate the rizht 1o appoint persons to 11l these ofticee, and it was buped by the personswho carried out the raldl that, although the Governor had alreaay suflefent khowledge of tha trua result of the electlon, ko 2 WOULD APPOINT DEMOCRATS to the positions. To render thig hope mote cor- {aly, the bdium of the rald was thrown by the friend of wilson upon the Hubert wing of the Hepublican party in the yarish. So well was the report clreulated that tho members of the Merehant wing really beleved {t to be true, and one of them, Iate SuerifT Ei 8, Flewrot, prefer- red charges against Minus Gordy, candidate- clect of the Hebert wing, This much having been accomplished, it was determined to proceed atill further In the onter- prise, und to demand the returns of Newman pereonally. With this otfeet in view, W. K. Wilsou, Pariah Atiorney pro tem., called at Newman's house at about 11 o'clock ou the nlehit of the Otin He knocked on the door, und Newman, who bod just finlshed making a new vailv-shicet for the Sherdlt, and was in bed, de- manded who 1t waa at thodoor. No answer wns given, but the knocking continued, Newman, Sor hetug alarmed, armed himself with a pisto} snd dlris, ruddenly appeared at the door, and sith presented weapons eonfrouted Willio Wil- $0n. . “I¢'s me, Newman ! explained Wilson. « Whnt do you wanti" Wilson stated that ho had just recelved a tel- ecram from the Attorhoy-General fustroctin him to call on Newman nnid get the returns of electlon. He sald further that Newman must gu to tho Coutt-Touso with bim and deliver the returns. Newman refused to comply with tha demand, telling Wilson that midnightivas not the proper hiour for travsactiug officlal business, With shis, Wilson wartied Newman NOT TO BIEAK OF THE VIBIT PAID HIV, and rettred without having accomplished Irs purposc, On the following day, however, Nowman fall- el to pay aoy attentlon to the warning, and scon ali the town were acquaintea with the facts, nltholgh not With the name of the vis- tor. Everything moved smoothly, however, and nothing more was spid to Newman ou the subject, do the meantime, on the morning fol- lowlng *he visit of Wileou, the tally-sheet and returny o Newmnu were privately seot to New Orleann, and tho vext day n telegram from the ity announced to the people of ' Franklin that m?’v had nrrived safely, ‘T'o understand fully tho temainder of this his- tory, it {s uecesaary to keenn mind the fact that Newiman was told not to speak of the midnkzht visit, and that he did not obey the command} alev, that he was the only witness, bosiles his wife, who lieard the conversation, but did not reconize the visitor, 3 Qn the 10th, at night, Newman ata bis wifo were awakened by the report of a rifle discharg- rd at the foot ot the bed in which thoy rere.

The ministers of Cnicago and vi cinity were the body-guards of tlm' Evuanston in- stitations, The Northwestern University was Iand-poor. It had property that it could not scll. A ladios’ college had buen establishied as ono of tho branches of the University, and it haa fafled. The University had assutied tho debta and thereby crlrnlml Itself.

When he appeared beforo Judre Larremore for naturalization he was beconiing- Iy dressed fn a thorough Amerlean costume, and but for his long black halr and eopper-col- ored visage, would readily have been taken for asturdy Anglo-Saxon. Woiig Ah Yee brought for his witness John C, Baptiste, a half-blood, his mother haviug been Chinase and his father Portuguese, Both Wong Ab Yee und Baptiste answered tha ususl questions put to them by Judge Larremore in remarkably clear and grammatical Euglish, The apvlicant sald he tiad been a realdent of New York for the past cight years, and bad declared his (ntentfon of becoming a citizen of the United States two years ago. \When about to be sworn In by the Clerk of the Court Wong Ah Yee was questioned closely as to his religtous vle: nd his belfef in A futura state of rewards and punishincnts. He sald he belioved In the existence of a Hu- Preme Belng, and thought he should be pun- shed £ he did wrong and rewarded f ho did right. It was then ascertained that he was mar- ried to an Irishwoman and was dolng a good clgar-making business lo Baxter street. Me. Jarvis, the Clerk of the Court, sald that he belleved that Wong Ah Yee bad not taken his step fur the mere purpose of exercising bis right to vote, but that his maln object was to Liold the property which ho had acquired by his thelft and industey during his residence jn this country. Mr. Jarvis said further that they bad admitted In that court Turks, Persians, Malays, Adnties, and Japanese, all of whum were as llehly colared as the Chinaman, ‘Two cascs in thy United States courts have heen passed upon denying the rights of China- men to ¢itizenehip.~—one in California and vue in this State., Tho Calllornia casc Is o vers noted one, Al Yup applied for naturalization In the United Btates Clrcult Court, beforo Judge Sawyer, but the application was dented on the groaud that anative of Chion of the AMongollan race {8 not entitled to becume a eitizen of the United States under the Revised Btatutes, as amended ln 1875, beeause a Mongolian is no “white person® within the meaniug of the term a8 used in the naturallzution laws of the United Btates. 5 Judge Sawyer held that the term “ wolte per- gon’ applled only to the Caucorian race, and sald it was so understood fn popular laug, ' in fiterature, and n sclentille. nomenclature, At the tlute of tho amendment, in 1570, extend- ing the naturalization lawa to the African race, Mr. Bumner made ropeated and strenuous ef- forts to strike out the word ¢ white,' and was opposed on tho role grouud that the eflect would bo to authorize the_admissign of Chiuese to citizenshilp. Every Senator who spoke on the subject nssumed that they were then excluded by ‘the term “white . person,” and that the amcudment would admit them. “It {a clear from these procecdinge,” Judge Sawver held, “ihat Congress vetained the word *white?in the naturalizatlon laws for the sole purpose of excluding the Chinese from the right of nataral- {zution.” The Court, therefore, tuled that o native of Chitia of the Mongollan raceis nota white person within the meaning of the act, Thia declsfon was made last April, aud at unce became & precedent for the courts in other parts of tho country., Ou the 10th of July, Chatles Mller, a Chinaman, who has resided in this city twenty-elght years, and who came here when ho was under 18 years of are, made application for naturalization before Judoe Chaate, in the Cir- cuit Court.

The Brittany property was, however, nearly all wortgaged, and, whon all was pald off, the nropcfl.{ was reducesd to nothing in particular, o much for the persoual property of the young protender.

To his son he bequeathed tho throne, fancying he theroby assured him thebest of his po tons.
