C. WickHffe returned from the North yesterday and brought with him the original returns from Vernon parish, the identical documents which caused such a stir in the days of the Electoral Commission and which the members of the Be turning Board fondly hoped had long ere' this, been converted into ashes, or stowed away in some obscure corner, never to be resurrected. These returns were entrusted by Dudley Field to a prominent member of the Federal House for safe-keeping, and were obtained from him by Gov. Wick-liffe. who will turn them over to the Attorney General.

Perhaps Messrs. Wells and Anderson will not feel so comfortable now as they did a few days ago, and perchance when they lie dreaming of the rascalities of the past a bright vision of striped garments may strike their excited fancy. CZ- Hall Short fitapaj Thursday morning the City Mall was by no'means inspiriting. The departments were almost deserted; custom and, popular opinion have made of the day what legislation failed to do a holiday. The Mayor and Administrators appeared in their offices in the morning, but by noon the departments were closed.

His Honor was pondering over a mass ol documents and papers containing "forgotten lore." On Wednesday he to Washington all the papers connected with the destruction of the Touro Alms House, while in possession ef the United States forces. The claim of the city against the Government amounts to about $76,000. The toll-gate at Esplanade street has been abolished, and the company concedes the right of the city to drain surface water into the bayou, which will relieve many of the residents in that vicinity from partialloverflow in wet weather. Further modification of tonnaga fees is hoped for soon. Died, After AIL The colored man, Dennis Henry, who was shot in the abdomen last Sunday afternoon, at the corner of Girod and Dryades streets, by Wm.

Reardon. and upon whom Dr. Choppin performed the delicate operation mentioned in Thursday morning's Picayune, died at half-past 8 o'clock, yesterday morning. The course taken, by the bullet was such that no human power could save the man's life, bnt the operation performed, though it did not save the man, prolonged his life for four days. A post mortem examination was made by Doctors Choppin, Pratt, and Beard, City Physician, and the following certificate of death given by the latter: In the presence of the Coroner and his jury, I held an autopsy on the body of Dennis Henry, male, colored, aged 21 years, and a native of Louisiana, lying dead in the Charity Hospital, and found a gun shot wound situated in the left lumbar region, abouttwov Inches above the superior spinous process of the ileum.

The ball ranged backwards and down-awards, penetrating the small intestines, making four holes, and passing through the messentery, wounding the messenterie vessels, lodged in the proas muscle at the crest of ileum; said wound causing internal homorrhage, peritonitis and death." Affalra at Sitka. RIOTOCS DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE INDIANS MILITARY BADLY NEEDED. San Fra Cisco, Oct. 29. Victoria dispatch The steamship California, from Sitka, arrived this morning.

The revenue cutter Oliver Walcott arrived at Sitka on the 17th. The Chinnicut Indians had arrived a tew days previous to participate in the grand pow-wow given by Sitka Jack and his tribe. The revenue cutter arrived just in time to prevent the Indians from demolishing the barricade around the town. They had already commenced, and had pulled down some 200 feet, being protected by seventy armed-warriors from any interference by white citizens. It is thought the timely arrival of the cutter was the means of preventing the Indians, during their drunken revelries, from murdering the whites.

There is much alarm among the citizens. Nearly all of them are too poor to abandon what property they have and leave the country. Some of the storekeepers are making preparation a to move to Wrangle. CoL Deahea, recently appointed collector, has returned to California, and, it is said, will not return to Sitka unless the Government furnishes the proper protection necessary for the safe prosecution of the business of the customs department. The steamer California took up three guns for the collector.

The military department left 30,000 pounds of powder in a magazine, which is considered safe from the Indians while there is a cutter in the bay. Colored cashmeres at 25, SO and 40 cents, at Danziger's. The only private mortuary chapel in the United States is in Oakwood Cemetery. Troy, N. Y.

On motion of Dr. Austin, It was ordered, that the minutes of each meeting be ready for adoption at the next succeeding meeting. The Secretary submitted a report showtng the amount of cash on hand to be a-J39. which, was referred back to the Secretary for correction. A communication received from the Governor-was read- The communication rehearses the charges made by the committee in regard to the Quarantine Station and the resident physician.

The Governor requests to be furnished with the ezplanatiou made by Dr. Finney to the board in executive session. CoL Hardee offered a resolution directing the Secretary to furnish the Governor with a transcript of the minutes relating to the matters referred to in the communication, and requesting the President of the board to inform the Executive of such other detailed (acts as may have been omitted in the minutes, i called upow few da ao.

Qcjlkajttink Station, Oct. 28, 1877. Dr. SamL Choppin. President Board of Health I regret very much to have to caU your attention to an unavoidable accident which occurred here last evening.

The following are the facts The steamship Sandineham, from Havana, arrived here at 4: 15 P. with no sickness on board, and having had none. The captain was anxious to leave aa soon as possible, and although it was rather late I concluded to disinfect and fumigate at once. There are three hatches on this vessel, two of which I opened, namely: The main and after hatches; in each of these I had placed one of the steamers ash buckets with a good quantity of sulphur to fumigate. Before using- these buckets their condition was tested by pouring water in them to ascertain if they were leaky, which by this test they seemed not to be.

The engineer also said they were perfectly tight. It was exactly P. when these pots were put in the hold about 6 P. M. we went ashore to get our dinner about 7 P.

M. we went out to board a tow that came up. after which we went back to the steamer. As soon as we got on board, went to ascertain if the hold was full of gas. On having one cover of the main hatch raised, saw a small blaze and a very derue smoke, and ordered every one to get water in buckets.

The captain ordered the pumps to work and in ten minutes the Are was out. There was no water thrown in with buckets and a very small quantity with the hose, oertainy not morel than 10 gallons. I had the hatch entirely opened, and six boxes of sugar bearing the the following marks taken out. they being the only ones that were burnt or possibly damaged, eto. (ine writer enumerates six cases.) The stevedore on board, Mr.

Manning, said he would call and see you and report the facts. This accident is to be regretted, while it is very fortunate it Is not of a more serious character. The protest of the master was read, also the survey of the vessel and the survey of the cargo. The inspectors for the underwriters find nine boxes of sugar partly burned; the cargo in sight wet, three of the main hatches and tarpaulin partly burned, the cabin deck, where the lire was placed, charred also the after between decks. These documents having been read A Discussion ensued as to the action fee takn.

Dr. Jones moved that the papers be' received, and that the President of the board be authorized to investigate the action of the resident Quarantine physician, and to lay the facts with regard to the ignition of the Sandringham before the board. Adopted. On motion of Dr. Austin, a vote of thknfcq was voted to the Superintendent of the Mobile Railroad, for his hearty co-operation in carrying out the measures suggested by the board.

A telegram from the Quarantine physician informed the board of the arrival of a vessel from Matanzas with a case of yellow lever. SAXTTART MATTERS. Col. Hardee, chairman of the committee appointed to examine into and report ou a pliin to be adopted for obtaining an adequate supply of water for dashing and cleansing the gutters and drainaare canals, submitted a report. The committee has had under consideration plans and estimates for improving the health of the city, which will be ready for presentation to the Council when the budget comes up tor consideration.

The committee deem the question of water supply of vital importance, and will lay it bet ore the Council in such a form as to enlist the co-operation of the municipal administration. The report was received. The Secretary submitted a statement in response to the allegations of the Finanee Committee. Mr. Nott, the chairman of the Finance Committee, demonstrated that there was au error in the accounts of lr.

Ryan. Assistant Quarantine Physician, and that the amount of 257 was unaccounted for on the books. The report of the Finance Committee was adopted as corrected to conform with the error made by Dr. Byan. Col.

Hardee oflered a resolution providing that no articles except those for public service be charged to the board. Adopted. The question was raised by Dr. Austin whether the Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. Taylor, should continue to act in this capacity and also as a member of the board.

This point was referred to the Attorney General through the Governor, the former official having taken the position that he was not called upon by law to render opinions to bodies such as the Board of Engineers, of Health, etc. A resolution was also adopted requesting the attorneys of the board to furnish an opinion on the subject. The board then adjourned. New styles collars and ctl9's at Danziger's. The gilded age Isn't a circumstance To the golden age.

Human love-ia a mighty magician, and by a wave of its wand can transform the sombre churchyard into a viant garden. A celebrated writer, Joe. Brenan, an Irishman and a dear friend of the writer, once said that the King of Terrors had no power even in the midst of its proper domain, and that its fatal shaft, like the sword of Harmodeons. was concealed in flowers. That was true.

Yesterday was that holiday of the affections when many a voice called eagerly the past from the grave until the great Lazarus awakes and comes forth, though unseen by all but privileged eyes. We believe that nothing has more fascination Joe us than the selection -of one day far communion with the dead. Eeally this is a pure lyric, not chanted in bounding words, but acted during the silent day by the father who brings a rose to the tomb of his dead child and that lover whose every thought rise like a de profundi while he passes the place where she is lying. Yesterday, we repeat, our population. -became poetical and dropped its gross- -new and materiality like a shabby gar- ment.

All ranks 1 were leveled in the equality of sorrow. How could it be otherwise when true love clings to dead things? The first place the reporter of the Picayune visited was the Metairie Cemetery. Two years ago the soul of A.M. Hoi-brook, then the proprietor and managing editor of this paper, passed from thi world of sin and sorrow to the altar of that just God who judges all men's deeds by a higher standard than that gross, material, selfish and servile rule which too often controls the opinions of erring humanity. The deceased had a big heart, veined with love and pulsating with noble aspirations.

He was humane, charitable and dung to faith ss the anchor of his soul. He did not ft. Jim to be a writer of deep endeavors. On the contrary, he was entirely unpretending in the field of letters. He was essentially a newspaper man, industrious, careful, experienced, persevering and possessing great tact and administrative ability.

He was no man's enemy. He permitted no wrong toothers. He maintained the rights and respectability of the profession, exclnd- ing the virulence and personalities which often mark controversies between rival journals. Hence the respect that true and honest men always entertained for him. Our friend now rests on a lovely spot in the new Metairie Cemetery, where the evening breeze aighing through the bushes and al these, sings his sad requiem.

After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. To him, as Carlyle says, the full measare nf a jnan's lifeJtiadKJttu. granted and a course and taslcrwhlchhe performed well; what else could we-hope or require, but that he should be called hence and have leave to depart, having finished the work that was- given him to do And yet the man, thoughjoead, rises today in the moonlight of memory, generous and kind as he was always, since we first knew him. Affection is all to us. -It has once been said that it conveys gratitude, honesty, fidelity and that care which takes us to its arms, when we are young, and lays us calling on the sexton not to let the atones grate upon our coffin hid, when we die.

If we meet but flowers on the wayside, we must stop to admire them. Who can feel offend- ed, if on this weary long path through existence, we pay the same homage to the dead Our thoughts will circle round the grave of our friend as spring binds round a ruin. We knew him well, and with good cause, loved him. In visiting this beautiful cemetery we could not but admire the immense space of ground covered by fine grass, the gardens where the roses, violets, jassiines, and other beautiful flowers vied with each other. Then the tomb of noble Slpcomb, which was decorated with an ivy cross, surmeunted by a beautiful wreath of roses, with the brief but eloquent words on the cold marble 1 am the resurrection and the life." Then, the graves of Gordon, Bienvenu, Ballejo, Del Bondio, Pike.

Greathouse Miltenberger, and so many others whom we once knew and will never meet in this world again. Undoubtedly the Metairie Cemetery is destined to be the great Necropolis of the South. As far as location, ornaments, care and poetry are concerned, we say that this great city of the dead is unrivaled. Whilst we visited this selest spot, will make any living being to think softly of death, a solitary bird was singing on the branch of one of the palms at the entrance of the cemetery. We thought of our dead friends those WBO were true and good and then of those miserable creatures who are still alive bnt degraded and eubservient-the personification of hypocrisy and falsehood.

It was growing dark, and the reporter of the Picayune was prepared to- say Good-by, friends and oca," when, fiVa flM" nf figntnrngy a thought struck him. His heart was but a grave; the inscription on the slab was ominous. It xead as follows Here lies hope." The Firemen's Cemetery. From early dawn the stream of visitors' seemed to be almost incessant, as ft.
