Mr. Hagan voting also in the affirmative in order that ne might make a motion to reconsider at a fa ture time tho vote Just taken. TheNewSta HBe, or rather the old one at Baton Rouge, repaired ana reconstructed in design, will resemble a eaatle, with towers and batUe roenta.

The plan, as drawn off by Mr. Freret, presents a magnificent structure of Gotnio architecture, retaining, as muoh as possible, the old lines and appearance of the building, but elevating the central portion in orJer to give the height which was wanting in the original design. Mr. Freret has also changed the side elevation so as to effect a more Im posing appearance ana a muon larger wu additional entrance Into the building, connecting with the central portion, whore he has constructed a dome of iron and glass, rich in tracery and supported by the iron columns extending frein the ground to the roof. In the centre of the area covered by the dome is a large circular staircase, connecting the State offices with the Senate and ball of the House of Representatives, Immediately above them.

Tne eommunioaciou witu uio wuuiuto rooms in the second story is by meams of Tw BIftadrwaya, located in the flanking passages. The arrangements for light and ventilation are excellent. The dome la not visible from the outside, and is seemingly encased in a square tower, whloh. from the exterior, gives the appearance of considerable light, and carries out entirely the symetryand uniformity of the building, presenting structure of crgat beauty and strength. The towers, which are six in number, are about 155 to 140 feet in bigbt.

1 Major Strong and Capt. Koyes's detachment and; Sheriff Thlbaut arrived from Flaauemlnes on Saturday morning, having in charge twelve negroes, arrested In that parish for disturbing the peace and interfering with laborers. as there is to be a meeting of the Bepob llcan Parish Convention at PoLnto a la Haehe to morrow, it was considered prudent to bring the prisoners to this city to avoid further trouble. The presence of the soldiers did much to preserve the peaee. xne negroea uavo uvea givou uum m7 day to go to work, and a majority express their willingness to acquiesce in the, views cf the planters.

A reporter of the Picayune called upon Major will A Strongyesterday afternoon and leaned from him the following particulars ot the condition of affairs in the parish of Plaquemines where the troubles occurred. Major Strong states that when the militia arrived they found the negroes very turou lant, but as soon aa they saw the military they became more quiet. The day previous a difficulty was averted by H.P.Kernoohan sq. The negroes came up to his house, and when Mr. Kernochan appeared, threats were ottered and calls made by some to aboet him.

while others as loudly protested against proceeding to such an extreme. Mr. Kernochan forbade them coming on his Major Strong speaks In words of praise at the action of Sneriff Thenaut and Judge Llvaudaia, both Republicans, who did all in their power to avert a difficulty, even going to the plantations where trouble existed and advising the negroes whioh course they should pursue in order to avoid difficulties. Upon the affidavit of a number of citizens, four of tbe ring leaders were arrested, when the Sheriff, believing that he would be unable to retain then in Jail there, applied to Judge Livandaia, who Issued an order lor their transfer to this city, where they, with tbe eight others previously arrested and lodged in jail at Folnte Ia Haohe. were brought by Major Strong from there on a tug, which arrived here at balf past 10 o'clock yesteraey morning.

vMtrdiT i iitimnvh wnrv waa Atonnea on some of tbe plantations, more serious disturbances and attacks were prevented by the prompt action of the Sheriff and Judge referred to, assisted' by the citizens, headed by Mr. Kernochan. The planters, acting by the advice of Judge Livandaia and Major Htrrmar. crave the negroes tbe eholoe ot re suming work, or by Monday morning to va cate their cabins and be upon tne levee wlthtneirmovaDies. 's 7 i END.

The summer season at the New Lake End was inaugurated last evening when Mr. A. Walker opened his new pavilion to the public. The eleetrlo lights were turned on and illuminated the entire half mile ot the revetment levee. A band of music was in attendance and played throughout the afternoon and evening.

BITER INSPECTION' COaTttTPTEE. Keep cool. Buy your QuinUn, the plumber. bath tabs from A. HTROSCfGaXE, Which Fills the Canals with Lake Water the Dewmraaeat The strong northeast wind which prevailed Friday night and Saturday morning backed the lake water up In the canals.

The New Canal Shell Boad was overflowed several inches In depth from Barneyvtlle to the Lake Bridge. At last acoounta the water SpanlBb Fort the water also overflowed the land to some oistanoe between tne pavilion and the station, bat at noon was subsiding. A gale is also reported at the Passes. "Aa Aaadnlanter'e liet is not a happy thought CoL Joseph Collins yesterday afternoon, when a messenger called him from the City Fathers' Caucus. what's tbe trouble Inquired a reporter, judging from the eonntenanoe of the chief of the ImproTementa Department that something was wrong yoo see," expiainea uouvouun, forenoon I received a eommonioation from the Board of Health, asking why the canals were not flushed as usual.

Nowa messen Ser came to tell me that the Bayou St. John i rising every moment. and has already overflowed to some extent. I've got to hurry away and see what can be done to prevent any serious damage." With these words he departed rapidly and was soon driving down the street in the direction of the impending and even actual overflow. In the morning the Department of Improvements received information that the New Basin Canal levee bad given way A Trio to the Jetties wUch Afforded ft Good': Opportaalty ef Observing the Effect of the River en the Levees.

The members of the Congressional River Committee returned last evening, from the trip to the Jetties. The visit was one more of curiosity than business, as the duties of the committee only concern that part of the river between St. Louis and New Orleans. Nevertheless, the members, beside having a very pleasant time, were able to gather a Seat aeai oi nseiui lmoraiauuu regwiuusr construction of and the improvements made by the jetties. v.

The steam yacht Ella Andrews was placed at the disposal of the vialtlag statesmen by Capt. J. Eads, whose son in law. Mr. Cbs dell, did the honors of tbe trip.

The voyage down was made in very good time, giving tbe party ample opportunity for familiarizing itself with all the points of interest to be observed at the scene ot this triumph of engineering skill. Everything was explained to them fully and satisfactorily, and the committee were deeply impressed with the magnitude of the works and fully convinced of their success. Tbe party spent Friday night at the Port Eads Hotel, and were well looked after. Tbe return trip was begun at 6 o'clock in the morning, the wind at the time blowing almost a gale. One of the party remarked last nignt tnat is waa rortunate tne iia An drews was not a steamboat, else her upper decks would have been blown away.

The yacht, however, behaved splendidly. The Congressmen took refuge on the upper deck, where none the waves whloh washed the lower one co'Jd reach them. The 'wind blew so violently that the levee for quite a distanoe seemed in imminent danger of being washed The frightened Inhabitants aloog the bank were devoting all their energies to strengtenlng weak spots and closing slight gaps where they occurred. At Magnolia plantation the yacht landed and ex Gov. Warmoth invited the party to come ashore and inspect his sugar fields and orange groves.

In this pleasant occupation, rendeed doubly so as some of the visitors had never seen these two features, about an hour and a half was passed. Promptly at o'clock the EUa Andrews reached the city wharf and the committee returned to the St. Charles Hotel. As the Congressmen are very anxious to present the bill to appropriate for removing all obstructions between Cairo and VicKsburg at this aeeaion ef Congress, they dsire to return Immediately to Washington, and will leave for the national capital either to day or to morrow. i at Willow street anu a gang oi men was forthwith put to work to close she break.

Out at the NewlVaJie En the water was in 'a disturbed condition all day. At o'clock in the evening the shell road between the toll gate and the lake was covered with the surplus water of the canal, and a drive tnrougn toe iiquiu roau ueu wm anything but pleasant. The depth, how atery grave, a few feet of the drawbridge at the railroad station, and several enterprising resident oi the West End bad row boats for hire, in ease any visitor should desire a row la water six Inches deep. Two young men of an adven turoua disposition embarked in one of the boats, and after proceeding abont ten tees from dry land tnelr boat grounded, and the last seen ot the occupants they were studying the problem of getting ashore without wading. THE HENDERSON POOR FUND.

A Noble Charity. In striking contradistinction to the Milne Asylum bequest is that of the trust fund left by Stephen Henderson, a Scotchman, who died in 1838. In his will he directed that $2000 annually should be distributed to tbe poor oi tne pansn ox wneans. auoae qurnt compromise with his heirs the share of the poor fund was flxed at 133,333 83, in parts and shares. The property which is partly represented by this amount has been leased to Sam Boyd, for thirty years, he agreeing to pay an annual interest on tbe assessment of 8 per instead ot a stipulated rental.

Every twelve years the property is assessed bv the Mayor and Judge of the Probate Court, and Mr. Boyd pays 8 per cent, annually on their estimate. This yields a monthly, revenue for the poor fund alone of from S3 00 to $250, which is distributed by persons appointed by the Governor, a Judge of the 8u Dreme Court and a Judge of the Probate Mayor Patton and Judge Tlssot will soon meet to make tbe assessments for the suc ceeding twelve years. It is thus seen that a charity inaugurated forty years ago still carries out the noble designs ot ltegfounder, and causes tbe memory of Stephen Henderson to bo loved and revered. lOCAI POLITICS.

It ia from the Quarterly Elocutionists Wen sir, he had the blamedesi blrjest, catty oornedest planner yon ever laid eyes on some thin' fijte a distracted billiard table on three legs. The lid waa hoisted, and mighty well it was. If it hadn't been he'd a tore the entire insides dean out, and scattered 'em to the four winds of heaven. Flayed well You bet he did but dont Interrupt me. When he first sit down, he 'peared to keer mighty little 'bout playin', and wished he hadnt come.

He tweedle leed'ed a little on the treble, and twoodle oodled on the base just foolin' and boxin' the thing's jaws for beln' In his way. And I says to a man setting next to me, says I what sort of fool playin' is that 1 And he say Helsh I But presently his hands commenoed ohasin one another np and down the keys, like a parcel ot rats scam perinr through a garret very swiic rarta of it waa sweet, though, and reminded me of a sugar squirrel turnln' the wheel of a MtnAv I says to my neighbor. he's howin' off: He thinks he's a doin' of It, but he alnt got no idee, no plan of nothln'. It. be'dplayed me a tune of some kind or other But my neighbor says 'Helsh 1" very impatient.

I waa Just about to get np and go home, beln' tired of that foolishness, when I heard a little bird waking np away off In the woods, a little sleepy like to his mate, and I looked np and see that Ruby was beginning to take to his business, and I sit down again. It was the peep ot day. The light came taint from the east, the breezes bio wed gentle and fresh, some more birds waked np in the orchard, then some more in the trees near the bouse, and all begun sin gin' together. People began to stir, and the gat opened the shutters. Just then the first beam of the sun fell upon the blossoms a lee tie and It techt the roses on the bushes, and the next thing it was broad day the sun fairly blazed, the birds sung livlThAv'dfairlv emit their little throats all the leaves was movin', and flashin' dla mondsof dew, and the whole wide world waa bright and happy aa a king.

Seemed to me like there was a good breakfast la every house in the land, anu not a alok child nr woman anvwhere. It was a fine mornin'. And I says to my neighbor That's xnn sle, that is. Pretty soon the wind turned; It began to thicken np, and a kind of gray mist came over things I got low spirited directly. Then a silver rain began to falL I could see the drops touch the ground: some flashed, up like pearl earrings, and the rest rolled away like round rubles.

It was pretty, but melancholy. Then the pearls gathered themselves Into long strands and and then they melted Into thin silver streams, running between golden gravels, and then the streams joined each other at the bottom of tbe hill, and made a brook that flowed silent, except that you could kinder see the music specially when the Jroshea on the banks moved as tne music went along down the valley. I could smell the flowers in the meadow. But the sun didn't shine, nor the birds sing; it waa a foggy day, but not cold. aneel on, away out of tbe world, where no man ever was, certain.

oouia see ni iwrjum as plain as I see yon. Then the moonlight came, without any sunset, and shone on the graveyards, where some few. ghosts lifted their hands and went over the wall, and be uiii th. Kiank aham too trees splendid marble houses rose up, with fine, ladies in the lit np windows, and mentnas lovea em, but could never get a nlgh 'em, who played on guitars under the trees, and made me that miserable I could have cried, because I wanted to love somebody, I dont Know who, better, than the men with the guitars Then the snn went down, it got dark, the wind moaned and wept like a lost child for its dead mother, and I could a got up then and there and oreached a oetter sermon than anv I ever listened to. There wasn't a mt.

in wnrid lnft to live for. not blame thing, and yet I didn't want the muslo to stop One bit; It was happier to be miserable than to be happy without being miserable. I couldn't understand it. I hung my bead and pulled out my handkerchief, and Plowed my nose loud to keep me from My eyes Is weak anyway; I didn't want anybody to he argazin at me a snlvlin' ana it's nououj uusmees what 'do with my nose. It's mine But some, several, glared at me mad as blazes.

Then all of a sudden old Rubin changed his tune. He ripped out and he reared, he tipped aad ho teared. ho pranced and he charged like the grand entry at a circus. 'Peered to me that all the gas in the house was turned on at once, things got so bright; and I hilt np my bead, ready to look any man in the face and not afraid of nothln1. It waa a circus and a brass band and a big ball all goin' on at the same time.

He lit into them keys like a thousand of brick; he gave 'em no rest day or night: he set every livin' joint in me a goin', and not beln' able to stand It no longer, I jumped spang onto my seat and jest hollered: Every blamed man, woman and child In the house ris on me aad shouted, "Pot him out! put him out "Put your gTeatgrandmother'e: grizzly gray greenish cat into tbe middle of next month I say a. Tech me if yoa dare I paid my money, and yoa Jest come a nlgh With that some several policemen run up. and I had to simmer down but I could a flt any fool that laid hands on one, for I was bound to hear Ruby out or die. i He had onangea ms sune agam. wf light ladies and tip toed fine from end to end of the key board.

He playedoft and low and solemn. I heard the church belle over the hills. The candles pf heaven was HLmabTsna: I saw the stars, rise.

He run his fingers through his hair, he shoved up his sleeve, he opened his coat tails a leetle further, he drug up his took he leaned over, and, sir, he Just went for that old planntr. He elapt her face, he boxed her he pulled her nose, he plaohed her ears, and he, scratched her cheeks until she fairly yelled. He knookt her down and be stampt on her shameful. She bellowed, she bleated like a caU. she bowled like a hound, she squealed like a pig.

she shrieked' like ar rat, and then be wouldn't let her up. He. ran a quarter stretch dewn the, low grounds of the base till he got clean fn ta bowels of the earth, ind you heard thunder galloping after thunder, through the hollows and caves of perdition; and then he fox chased his right hand with his left till he got way out of the treble into tbe clouds, war the notes was finer than the pints of cambric needles, and couldn't bear nothln' but the hadders of 'em.
