Parker has since stated that he toid the men that ne did not drink spirits and wanted none of the contents of their bottle, as be was a temperance man. When the train started the two men went in the same car, White and his companion frequently taki heavy dGranghts of their whisk ‘Upon eir ar rival bere they all walked up Centre street comether, and proceeded on the road to Oortlandt- ville, situated at about three miles {rom the depot at Peekskill, which they had left at half-past one o’clock in the morning.

The doctors have suggested that trepanning may save his life, but it 1s Dot probable he can sur- vivesuch wounds as he has received. His spinal column, the doctors tell me, 1s also badly injured. THE ATTACK took place between the old Red House, built by General Van Cortlandt, and Mr. Robertson’s iarm. Alter leaving their victim for aead the murderers decamped. At sunrise on Wednesday Miller Bay- ley, of Hillside avenue, happened to pass along, and carried the dying man to John Wilkins’ house, at Oregon, where there are paper mills em- ploying about 500 men, and ior which piace Parker ‘Was originally bound.

He recited the Distory of his appointment as a delegate with Scott and Biack, and was about to state a private conversation which occurred between the dele- gates and Sir George and Sir John when the Judge declared he would not receive it. He asked for the orders in council and acts of parlia- ment, in effect recognizing the provisional govern- ment and the delegates. The defence here broke down, and could not produce the papers. Mr. Wood asked Mr. Ohaplan if he was not endeavoring to prove that the pro- visional government was de. thus estab- lish the right to execute Scott.

The whites claim that it is by orders from Washington to intimidate them and give the Diacks courage to vote for the administration fetes The White League will have a grand torch- ight procession on Saturday week instead of the indignation meeting on Saturday evening. THE COMING ELECTION. There are enough frauds in registration already exposed for Congress to set aside the election, whatever way it goes. Both barsioa perpetrate them and register men from graveyards and va- cant lots, on which there {s not sufticient shelter for @ dog. Army officers, while neutral between parties and obeying orders, me express sympathy with the Louisiana people and neralily deciare that Co: gress should ler a military election, seat the Candidates elected, and then order the President to withdraw the troops and allow the State to direct its own affairs. All the radicals tell me ir such action is taken they will have to leave with the rear guard of the army, which now numbers nearly 2,000 men and more are coming.

There is also a report, which is generally believed, that warrants are in the hands of the Deputy Marshal for the arrest of Colonel Alcibiades Deblanc, General Declonet, Colonel Fournet and other prominent citizens, Planters and Merchants Pledged Not to Employ Radical Negroes To Be Ar- rested Under the Enforcement Act— | The Legal Question To Be Tested. SHREVEPORT, Oct. 22, 1874. The question as to whether warrants were to be issued for the arrest of sixty-nine mer- chants, who pledged themselves not to re- tain in thetr employ persons who sup- port the radical party in the impending contest, was to-day settled in the affirmative upon the authority of General Merrill, United States Army, and A. B. Levissce, United States Commissioner, who stated that the papers were being prepared, and that the arrests would prob- oly be made to-morrow. Since the frst an- nouncement on Monday of the intention of the authorities to make these arrests the temper of the people has greatly improved, and it isnot now probable that any of the parties will endeavor to evade or resist arrest. The parties interested have consulted several leading attorneys, who advise them that their pledge 13 not in violation of tne Enforcement act, in that tt does not threaten anyone on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, und that a meral declaration not to employ any 6 upon certain conditions furnishes no und’ for a specific charge. Immedi- ately after this authoritative announcement of General Merrill and Judge Levissee this morn- ing the pledge was again put in circulation and received 180 additional signatures, These names Include representatives of nearly every business establishment in the city.

Their ages were as follows:—Under fif- teen years of age, 872; fifteen and under forty, 155; forty and over, 208.

Major George B, Chamberlain, United States Marshal at Atlanta, Ga., has been offered and has accepted the position of Chief of the Southern | branch of the Secret Service Department. Changes in the Federal Service in * Texas. Nothing has definitely been done tn regard to changes of Treasury officers tn Texas. The Secre- tary will consult the President on the subject, and | no doubt there will be extensive changes with a view to procure an efficient discharge of duty, apart from the moral unfitness of some of the in- cambents. The Customs Collector at Brownsville will be among those retained. Nothing has yet been heard {rom the postmasters at Galveston and Houston, who, in the name of the President, have formally been requested to resign. There will also be a change of postmastership at Dalias, and some changes are probable in other departments of the government service, THE SUIGIDAL MANIA Three Suicides in One Day at Toronto.

The Lyceum Theatre. Miss Netison last night resumed her favorite rdle of Juliet, and, as a consequerce, this pretty litte theatre Was weil filled notwithstanding the throug of attractions as rival theatres. Her impersona- tion of the moat lovable of all Siakespeare’s heroines has lost nothing of ite sweetness and girl- ish grace since Iast we bad the ple&eure of wit- nessing it. If anything, we would be inclined to say that it bas tmproved im the small house where none of its beauties are lost on the audience. Miss Neilson’s own nature is ove of refined sensibility that enables her to sympathize intimately with the feel! es = none heroine she moe on se ortray. This fitness of organization, 10 the Beauty and expressiveness of ber face, combine to present such a Juliet as fills the popular ideal. While Miss Neilson is on the stage all eyes a centred on her, and the other actors cease to be important, We are glad to see ber back in a character in which she has at present no peer, ana we doaot not that the public will give to the management substantial proof of their appre- clation of the real merit of this charming actress’ impersonation of the unfortunate Juliet. We couid wish that the support givou to Misa Neilson were stronger and better in quality, bat the talent and beauty of this actress more than compensate tor the shortcomings of Der assistants, Even the ladies are content to lvok at the beauty ot ner face to) and the richness of her toilets to the neglect of @ll other Jeatures of the performance. Olympic Theatre. The programme was again changed at the Olympic Theatre last night, this time for the pur- pose of allowing Miss Alice Harrison to appear in Anglicised opéra bouge, The opera selected for this event was “Genevieve De Brabant, or the Wonderiul Pie.” The parts of the two gendarmes, Pitoa and Graburge, were very well played by Messrs. Talbot and Vin- cent, Miss Harrison gave evidence that her fit- ness to sing in opéra bouse is very meagre. Her voice 18 not so much against her as her total inability to act. The less said of the other performers the better, Mr. Holdsworth did not sing very badly as Charles Martel, and the Duke Socoid might have been played worse.

The critic of the London Times, animated by kindness, sug- gested that some Frenchman was to blame. We | thought Mr. Bronson Howard had seen a French comedy, called—if we remember correctiy—‘‘Les Eaux.” If thatis not the ptece Mr. Howard will set us right. at the same hope, but Mr. Howard gives us bis word that be knows nothing of such @ source as “Les Eaux,” and we are bound to believe him. There is, of course, some way of reconciling the proud assurance he gives us that his works are entirely original, with the acknowledgment that he is indebted to Colonel Hay tor the main plot of “Moorcroft,” but 11 does not occur to us, apd as Colonel Hay may not desire to be known in the connection beyond tue circulation of the pro- grammes of the theatre we shail not invite a dis- cussion on the subject.
