From the Sunny South. ll was a mud-daubed cabin, but KU overgrown with the dark green foliage ami crimson, yellow-throated blossoms of the Trumpet viue, that it seemed a pnrt of the wild, beautiful nature around it. Out of its low door stepped u slender girl, arith the olive skin, tho black eyes und black-waved hair of the native Louisian ian. Over the luxuriance of tho hair waa thrown a red-barred kerchief, and the girl farther shaded her eyes with her hand as she stood and looked fint around thc yard, then over into the fields and across tu (he grand open woods that surrounded the clearing,all the time calling "Rosie," in a shrill but not unmusical voice. She stood still a moment, and then leaping tho low fence as lightly as a fawn, ran down to thc tiny runlet at tho foot of the little risc on which the house stood, and searched r?*'.one tito bushes, whose greenness betrayed the water's course. A noisy crow mocked her call overhead, and scattered a handful of ?Je can nuts open her from tho boughs ue ?as robbing; an oriole flow out from a scarlet haw bush and flashed away, star tled by her cry of "Rosie,"{but no" pretty ireh!? pipped, "Herc I am, sister," in answer to her call. Returning to the cabin, she took a horn from over the door and blew a blast r.pon it that set half a dozen dogs to yelping, and after the lapse of a few min utes, brought her brother, a boy of fif teen, fruin the field. "Have you seen Hosie?" was her ques tion aa he stood before her, his homespun clothes spotted with cotton flakes, and further ornamented by two or three ...riped caterpillars, which were industri ously measuring the length of his panta loons. "Seen Rosie ? No, not since she brought me my canteen of fresh water this morn ing. She came back hotn.c though. I saw her runnin* a race with Wolf clear up to th? turnip patch." "She did como bnck, but she slipped away awhile ago when I was talking to some one, and I haven't seen her since." "Talkin" to Zumy Karlse, I 'spose. I saw him comin' this way, riding that mustang like tho mad devil ho is." "It's no matter whom I was talking to ; Rosie is gone, and Bbc must be found right away. We must go and hunt her. Take Wolf with you, he will help us find her." "Where is Wolf? He must be with the child. He always follows her, you know. Oh. shu is safe enough ; if any thing had happened to her, you'd have Woif back here howling like a pack of his namesakes." "I caunot trust to that* I feet as if something was wrong with her. She never does go farther than her little grapevine swing there in the bottom, aud always comes when I call. You remem ber little Pierre Verne, who waa missing last year and never found, and the couple of little darkies that disappeared the year before and nobody ever saw huir ur niuo of them afterwards." "They went down thc throat of thc Mack Devil," Jules said, referring to an overgrown alligator that was known to haunt a neighboring bayou, hut whose Bcaly hide, mossed and thickened by tunny winters, seemed bullet-proof, since frequent shorn from rifle and mus ket had no other effect than to render him more cunning and more rarely to be seen. "But Rosie would never go so '"ar aa the bayou ; moro likely elie's dropped asleep over her ida;: under some pecan tree," thc boy added hastily, seeing the ghastly terror that overspread his sister's face nt thc mention of the alligator. In an hour they had searched thc open woods for half a mile around, making them echo with the child's name, and looking carefully for little tracks, which they found in plenty around the house and in the patches, out the freshest were near the bank of tho little Btream close to the child's grapevine awing. But the tiny thread ol' water waa too shallow to drown even five-year-old Rosie, who of ten waded in it ankle deep. The brother and sister now carefully followed its course for several hundred yards up and down, but could not see no" further sign of the little bare feet thev were in search of. Thc nearest neighbors lived a mile away, but Malino bad a faint hope that thc child had gone to thc house of one of these-a hope that was disappointed when they reached thc first cabin, where the cows were being milked for the even ing, and the children and dogs were fighting over tho former's supper of clab ber sud bread poured into a cotton-wood trough ii. he yard, to be scooped up with wooden spoons mid dirty pulms. Hut if these people had rough exteri ors, their hearts were tender, and they roused at once with keen interest and pity at the story that orphan Rosie was missing. Remembering their own little Pierre, who went out last yenr to gather dewberries and never waa heard of after ward, thc \ ernes turned out their whole capable force, malo and female, to hunt for the lost child, followed by a small army of dogs, and intending* to collect pine knots, as soon as it became dusk, and continue the search until thc hut waa found. They went nt once to the bayou, and divided so as to search both its soft, mud dy banks up and down for ?oat-prints or other signs. In a little while they were joined by other neighbors mid formed themselves into a cordon, searching the woods in every direction within a circuit of several miles around Rosie's home. No wild beasts other than harmless rac coons and opossums were known to lurk m tho neighborhood, but the party of Mar?hAM ^ v_p-j ?oi?kj aili! ?ic?? iheir flaming torches of resinous pine over the deep, black water-hole under a Pieep, overhanging bank, where the alligator they called the Black Devil wa? known to have his hiding-plncc. As the day approached, the cordon gradually nar rowed until, as tho aun rose, thee stood before the lost child'a cabin home, still and smokeless, and with no sign of lifo about it. Again the woods rang with tho name they hnd echoed bo often du r'ng the night, and Muline went up to ?ne cabin, scarcely daring to hope that the child might have returned during thc night ami laid down to sleep in her own httle bed. hut the bcd was untouched, the little fooni empty, and Rosie's wooden doll ly jngon thc floor, brought a fresh pung to tho girl, who had been mother and sister both to thc littlo one since their parents died. 1 The searching party went to their f^?i1C8 t0 re,^?',<,1 themselves hastily with food before setting out again upon their aunt. Jule,, we"t xv?ti, them, but Malice ?hook her head in answer to their invita y0*, and was lcd alone ct the cabin. Unab' :o be quiet, she went again to yll joe fa'. 'te resort* 0f Rosie, and carc 'Ouy went nvrr every finit of ground ?round her littlo homo". Then, wretched And w'?rn tiut *?Jth fatigue; *bo threw herself down upon u log by the road side spring, and listened for a torturing hour for the signal or horns that would au nounce the finding o? her sister. Lis tened in vain, till at last her bend dropped hopelessly upon lier hands, and she sat in this attitude until the souud of quick boot-strokes made her look up to meet tue keen blue eyes of young Karlse, the Texan, galloping by on his wiry mustang, lie reined in when he saw her, and lifted his broad-brimmed som brero. "What's thc trouble, little Maline?" he asked, the tenderness of bis voice be lying the savage aspect of his long beard, his fierce moustache and sword-like eye. "Hosie has been gone since yesterday uoou, und we caunot find her." Then she lilted her head and suddenly pierced hun with a look. " You, Zumy Karlse, you know what has become of my sister," she cried. His swarthy akin turned livid. "I, Mulinef What should I know of your sister? What have I had to do With her?" "You cursed her yesterday ; you said but for 'that brat' that you knew I would ninrry you and go with'you to the Indian Nation, where you meant to make e. for tune." "I was angry; I said what I did ivith out a minute's thought. Muline, do you think so mean of me ?-t to suspect I would bur?, a child? Folks have called mo wild, reckless, outlaw, and all that, but ? swear none ever dandered me as br.d as this girl that I've usked to be my wife. Good-bye, Maline; if you can think such a thing of me it's best I never see your face again." Ile drove the spurs in his horse's sides and dashed on, but at a little distance he stopped and looked back to say : "i'll find the child, if she's above ground or beueath it. Don't be fretting yourself to death." An hour after he loft, Maline had shut up her little home and v.as on her way to seek supernatural aid in the search for her sister. "I had a dream night before last, she thought. "It mu t have meant some thing, for I waked up scared and wild like, and never slept any more. I dreamed we were walking on the old log bridge over the bayou, and on a sudden I missed Hosie from my side. I looked down and saw a big black hand held up through thc logs. Maybe that means a negro will help nie, and who but old Ko'int?, the conjurer doctor, that lives down on thc bayou? I'll go to him and get him to tell mc where Hosie is. They say he can find lost things, as well as take the charm off of conjured and poi soned people." Hope buoyed her weary steps, and she walked rapidly to the conjurer's hut, two miles away. Hid under great live-oak boughs and trailing moss, the mud hut was scarcely to be discovered. Over the closed door was festooned un enormous stuffed rattlesnake, the mouth wide open and the hooked fangs looking frightfully life-like. Cid Kouni/. was long in open ing the door, and when ut last he drew it cautiously back on its wooden hinges and stood before her, Muline shrank at the sight of the bidc'ius apparition. The heavy, squat figure, partly enveloped in an old torn garment of shaggy gray cloth, like the coat of a dog or a wild beast, the legs bare and mangy-looking, thc great splay feet bare and covered with warty excrescences. The head was of the ape type, with a low forehead, small, dull, red eyes, pontL-rous lower jaw, anda double row ol* yellow, animal looking teeth. His woolly hair was, however, gray with age, his face seamed with wrinkles, and his manners humble and insinuating. Around his neck was a string of snake-hones mid alligator-tooth, and u stuffed bat, with wings extended and grinning teeth, encircled his head by wuy of a crown, wdiiie from his ears hung the rattles of thc snake. The hut would have been of cavernous darkness, but though it was warm weather, there were lighted pine-knots on the ynwuiug mud hearth. Around it Muline saw two other negroes squatted as if enjoying the heat, a man ami woman, who had come to consult thc conjurer-master with ref erence to some relative that had been "burted' by being "pizened" or "con jttred." The African wizard put a square bottle into their hands as Maline stood waiting, her terror of these disgusting figures held in check by the purpose tor wliich she had come. "Don' be gibben dis, now, before I come to-morrow," he said. "When I'm standin' by to gib it its right efleek, it'll bring up de pizen or de conj ure-hu rt, arry one, from de stomach, for all de world like spiders and scorpions. Now, where's your silber ?" The woman fumbled nt a greasy string around her neck, untied it and took on of it four pieces of ?ilver money, biack with dirt and constant wear. The ape like paw of the conjurer closed over them eagerly. "To-morrow," ho sa?d, and waved the visitors out. Then he turned to Maline, thc twinkle of his small, red eye, under the gray, shaggy eye-brows, making her shiver with dread, but she at once told the object of her visit. He eyed her sharply n minute, his wrinkled face worked and changed, then he lit his short, black pipe, stirred the fire and sat before it, smoking and looking into the coals. Alter awhile he rose, took down a live screech-owl from a shelf among the bottles and boxes, and hold ita hide ous head to his ear as one would a watch, and sat silent, looking into thc embers. At last he spoke in a gutteral mutter without turning his eyes upon Muline. .'Down by de bayou-by de big double ash and de old mill-wheel-look dere. Tracks-boot tracks wid Texas spurs. Poor petite-poor Rosie 1" and he snook his head and was silent. "In she dead?" Maline cried, starting up and coming to bia side. But not a sound would bc utter except to repeat his former words : "Down by de bayou-by de double sah antj ,ie ,.\,\ miM whee!. Track? wk! Tof us sours. Poor child I" Maline turned to run from the hut, but ho laid a black paw upon her wrist, p*ered into her face with his sleepily cunning alligator eyes, and said : "Dc silber; you furgitdat," She thought an instant, then snatched tho gay rings from her ears, dropped them into Ins hand and fled from the horrible den, not ?topping uutil she had reached the part of the bayou he had spoken of, where a dotible-trunked ash overhung the water, and an old mill wheel, washed away in some past freshet, lay stranded in mud and drift-wood near the bank. Var down as was the place, thc searching party lind been herc, but apparently their exami'ittion had not been thorough; for there, close to the naked roots of thc old tree, and half hid in loaves and mud, lay a tiny pink sun bonnet, that Maline recognized and caught up with a cry f anguish. An other glance showed her no child's track, but tho print nf a man's boot in the mud and the impress of a Texas spur. "Ho did ill" she cried, clenching her hands. "He drowned h? r to put her out ol thc way, thinking I would go with j him if I was free of the charge my mother left me on her death-bed. Ob, cmel-h^?yd villain? 0*0, my darling, Half frautic ahc ran towards borne, bugging tho little bonnet to ber breast; but when she heard the gallop of a horse, the stopped still and met her Texas lover with tlio stern, white face of the uccuser. "Thia is her bonnet. I found it ct tho bayou and your tracks by it. You drowned her. God's curses upon you !" "Mallne, arc you crazy? What do you mean? Wh'ero did you find that?" "Down at the bayou, where you drovued my darline, by the double ash tree and the old mill-wheel. I taw your tracks there." "I fished there two days ago, aud wailed for the alligator to' rise. I've neve* been there since, I swear, and I've nevei ?ct eyes ou the child sinco I -saw her l anding at your side yesterday. I told you what I said about her was noth ing but idle breath. I didn't mean a word of it. I was mad because you re fused to go with mc and raid your duty was to tbe children ; Injt Ood know? I wouldn't have hurt a hair of the little one's head for my own life. Tell me, how caine you to go to thc big ash just now?" "Black Kountz, the conjurer-master, told mc to go there, and that I should find signs." Tlie Texan ptve a low whistle. "I'll speak to that old rascal myself," he said, and then I'll ride back to where I lek thc search i o;; party, and bring them to drag thc bayou where the bon net wai found." Muline shuddered and walked on with out speaking. Karisa rorie to thc hut of the conjurer, mid, dismounting, thundered upon thc closed door with hin heavy whip. The shuffling feet of thc African were slow to answer the summons, and when he opened the door his wrinkled features exhibited some sign of perturbation, which the bold, ficrco look of the drover and the sight of the pisto? and bowie knife iii his belt might have well ex cused. There was nothing suspicious in the answers bc gave to tuc keen cross-qucs- j tioning of tlie Texan. Ho said, in his broken gutteral, that he had seen in his dream the bonnet lying by thc ash tree the Great Man <diowcd him things in his dreams. Karine left him, after a keen survey Of his wretched hut, with his black-smoked, cob-wchbed walls, hung with the skins and teeth of vermin and reptiles, its rag pallet and greasy old chest and tnble. Thc bayou was dragged, but without result. "The alligator," was tho thought that was in thc minds of all, though nobody spoke it, out of compassion for thc broth er and sister. Night set in with gather ing clouds, lightning and thc promise of a storm, and the weary party retraced their steps. Karine alone lingered. Muline had not told the others her suspicion that he was Rosie's murderer, but be knew by the look she gave him whto ahe turned away tr? it she harbored it still. He stood by his horse's head in deep thought a moment, then he mounted and lode back towards the conjurer - cabin. Re fore it was in sight, he stopped in the midst of a dense thicket, got down from his horse and tautened him securely, and then waited while the twilight deepened last into dart night, tbs clouds obscuring the sky, the lightning flashing ?at inter vals, and the rain coming in fitful gusts. "Now for spyintj the camp." he said. "Awful cautious I shall have to be. That conjuring rascal is a gray old coon. I shall have to slip up on him like sneak in' up on an old buck at day-break ; and first thing to be done, o(T must come these boots." Suiting the action to the word, he pulled oil* his boots and deposited them b? the tree where his boree was fastened". Then he set out for Kountz'shut, steer ing his course through tho darkness with the judgment of a trained backwoodsman that almost amounts to instinct. Na gleam of light came from the hut to guide him. When be bad crept cau tiously close to it, and gone stealthily around it, he saw that there was no crack through which could be seen the light of thc firs that was sure to be burning in side. Winter or summer the firo wan never suffered to die out on thc African's hearth ; but except thc smoko from the low chimney, no sign of il was to be seen outside the windowless hut, whose smallest crack aud cranny the African hastened to stop with rugs or cottou aud plaster over with mud. Hid behind tin moss-hung limbs of the oak, Karlso saw the negro come to the door, look out and mutter to himself "Black night; good,jolly night-rair 'torin, maybe ; jolly night." With n sinister chuckle, he closed th? door and fastened it, rattling the heavv chain in which the padlock was hooked Karlse crept around to the rear of thi cabin, and taking out his k_ife, knel down and began to cut into thc clay tba was chinked be'.? "en the logs of the wall and was now 'jome.vbat softened by th< recent rain. Noiselessly, cautiously lu corked until ho hud cut through a sec tion of the clay several inches square This plug he gradually drew out, usinj the utmost care to prevent attracting tin attention of thc black doctor. In this hi was abetted by thc noise of the wind thu blew fieieely itt intervals, and tunde thi limbs of the live-oak creak aud awn; against the roof of the cabin. The plu] was removed, and still kneeling, Karls applied his eye to tbe aperture and suv the wizard smoking his pipe and mutter ing to himself before the fire. Freseutl; he rose, walked to the door, bent dowi aud listened attentively. "Wind blowin' hard-mighty dark torch can't live a minit-white fools gon home, gone to bcd-good, jolly night lb good supper-ugh 1" He chuckled und smacked his lips then, walking up to the screech-owl, li touched its mumed read, when, flutter ing its feathers wi ' . shivering motion the creature uttered its weird, ghostly ct? ivllere.lt fhn lil-iet ii-i/.ir. I . a... t. 1... 1 un laughed hideously, showing his doubl row of teeth. Then, turning round t, the greasy old chest, he proceeded t draw it from its place, aud from tho pat of tho dirt floor where it had ?'.iou, t turn up a sqimr* board that seemed to k a trap-door ; foi the conjuror let bimse down into the hole it hud covered, an when he again emerged, scrambling u with difficulty what seemed steep, luddei like steps, he hud something thrown liv? his shoulder that made the Texan's hem leap and his breath come quick, it w: the body of a child-thc demi body, s Karlse thought at finit, but wbeu iii negro placed his burden on a sent again: the wall, she nat there propped by hi support and he saw that it was lvosi Her little, delicate face was white astin of a corpse, her eyes were dilated au .taring like ft sleep-walker's, and wei fixed, as if uni'er a spell, upon the fa? of tm negro. "Don t you dar to hollow or speak 01 word," he said, thrusting his ludest features close to her. "Et you do d snake will jump right on you and Url hisself round your neck and bite yt right in de eyes. You sec him, ch?" Ai he B ioko ho lilted thc head nf tl luge, studed rattle-snake that had hui by the door, and which was now coil? tia ? ;'.3?l in ftunt of the child: Her gare of fascinated terror turned upon the horrible reptile, whose scaly folds and open jaw? were horribly life like. "Why you no eat de pap I carry down to you ?" demander* the negro in his gut teriil utterance ; "nice pap, wid good bog-grease in it ; and I carry down light for vou, and all. You guinc to eat now? Come." He took a teacup from the shelf and tried to force a spoonful of the soft mess it contained ?uto '.he child's mouth. "Eat ; it'll be de bess for you. Well, ?'ou won't, and dal's dc eend of it. Neb ler'll fatten, ?;ire. Hf dat been 'possum I cotch now, an' put in barrel an' feed dat way, he done fatten pound or two in dis time ; but while chile too 'tubborn. He won't eat ; get poorer, tiddy fatter. Well, cf dey wou't eat, dev'll have to be eat ali de sooncr^-dat's ?.li. Dis one's in prettv good order. Lemme see agin." With his groat, black ?daws he felt of thc child's legs and anns, pinching her so han! that an involuntary exclamation of pain escaped her lips. 'Hush!" bc hissed, with u horrible grimace. "Hah snake round your neck in no time." Once more ho shuffled to the door, stomped and listened. Then, muttering "las, yas; good night for good supper," he proceeded to throw more pine-knots on the fire, and to ban* over it a pot he had filled with water. Then he took a large knife from thc shelf and began to sharpen it. Every now and then he turned to glare at the eli it l, who followed his movements with a stupid stare iii her dilated eyes like that of a bird or asquir rel charmed by n snake. He tried the edge of the knife, and seemed satisfied tba*, it was sharp; then, thrusting it in his bosom, he took up the snake, wound it around his neck, and struck upa chant ?nd n shuffling step, with which bc moved in a circle before the child with his eye? fixed upon her, and drawing gradually nearer until he paused and stretched oui ?me hand, while with the other he drew out the knife from bis breast. Thc poor victim sat liko a charmed bird or a lamb beneath the butcher, bei wide eyes fastened on that terrible face now full of thc carnivorous ferocity and eagerness of the beast that scents blood But before thc blow descended, thc mur derer was startled from his anticipator feast by a heavy crash upon the doo from the axe that Karsle had caugh sight of on tho ground in a gleam o lightning. Another heavy blow and tin door waa burst open and thc Texai leaped in and darted for thc conjuror who, with his back braced against tb wall, stood at bay, the big knife brand ished in hin hnnd, a dull, desperate glar in his reptile eye. He spr?nge al Karls as the lutter advanced upon him, am mado a lunge at his breast ; but th Texan caught the knife by a dexterou movement, and twisting it from th black's clutch sent it whirling to th other end of the hut. The next instan the cannibal folt the cold muzzle of a ri volver at his head, and he dropped o his knees gibbering for mercy. With his teeth clenched and breathin hard with disgust and indignation, Karl: drew a stout halter from his pocket an lied the wretch securely, fastening h feet and hands together. When this wi done, he turned to thc chi id, who si where she had been placed rigid an moveless aa a corpse. He took her i his arms and kissou her. "Are you hurt anywhere, Rosie?--ai you scared o'lt of your wits, poor litt one? You are safe now; you shall g home to Jules anti Maline." A long shiver paaseJ. over the child she clasped her deliverer's neck convu sivelv, then burst out crving andsobbin "Thank God !" exclaimed the Toxin for he knew those tears had saved tl reason, perhaps the life of thc child. When he had seen her sitting wit dilated eyes and ghastly face, he believe that terror had paralyzed her senses in! hopeless idiocy. Still, as yet she hu not spoken. He soothed her ns tender as Malino could have done. ''The black man," abc whispered last, as she lnv upon his shoulder. "E had n knife; he sharpened it to kill mc "He'll never harm you now, Rosi You sec where he lies tie?' on the floe He'll never have a chance to lav a fing upon you or any other child-the blac inhuman devil I" "And the snake-tho dreadful snake sobbed the child. "It was dead ? it couldn't bite ye See." He picked up the voodoo symbol fm the floor, and threw ita great coils on ti blazing wood coals. "You w.tnt me to tako you home no little Rosie? They'll be so glad to s you ; they hunted for you everywhere "I heard them," whispered the chil "I heard them once calling my name, waa Muli no's voice, and I wanted answer, but he said if I did thc sua would jump nt me and bite me, nnd th he put me in that black hole in t ground." "Don't think of it any more. Con let mc carry you home to Malino, beff she cries her eyes out. Then I'll coi and attend to that lump of African dev try here, and give him a part of 1 deserts." Ho stooped and carefully cxamin the knots that scoured thc cord aron the wrists and ankles, of the conjur and then, carrying Rosie in his arms, made his way with some little difiicu to the thicket where his horse was til and mounted, placing the child heh him. A rising moon, nearly full, h now begun to struggle ttith the cha and shed a faint light on the path nln which Kurlcs' wiry mustang went, w his stcudy, regular gallop, that sc brought them to ROS?C'H home. Maline was walking thc little por unable to bc still, or to listen to thc wi meant eonsolation of sonio of thc nc.ii hors inside, who had come back fr their vain Henrch for the lost child, a stopped wiiii Jules and luiiiiiic io co fort them by their company. She stopped short as Karisa rode u in tho dim light she did rael sec hts h den. "You havo no news, I know," i began, then checked herself with aery Karie? laid her sister in her arms. "It is Rosie-warm and living. Ne call mo u murderer again, Maline." "I will call you my saint-my gi angel!" cried the girl, seizing his nt and pressing it tu her lips, while w the other arm she hugged Rosie to i breast. "Tho lost is lound I" was thc sh that wont up from the sturdy throats the kind-hearted Rosie, kissing her i shaking her lu.nds till she hid her fae? Malino s bosom. Then they turned Karlse, and their joyful ntteran changed to exclamations nf horror 1 deep threats of vengeance when tl heard his story, brierly und graphic; told. "Deal with him to-night ; never him live to sec morning; hung bin once," was tho verdict. "Burn him Ht thc stake, rather," ci thc father of little Pierre Verne, was that black devil that murdered child. Come, men, weare wasting tin All. witl' he exception of thc wini started at onco for thu corguror's I When within a quarter of a mile of the lieuse, they saw that it was on fire. As they drew nearer, they saw the Hume? bursting from thc root, and catching the old live oak and the long festoons of moss that waved in the wind like gar land? of fire. Either the African, know ing his doom, had managed to roll ueur tho hearth and set fire to thc house, or else it had caught accidentally from tho wood that was left burning "in thc fire place. Before the house was quito consumed, the flames wcro quenched by a heavy rain, and next morniug tho charred logs were rolled aside, and the half-consumed body of old Kouutz dragged out. The hole in the dirt-floor of the hut being ex amined, allowed that it led by a ?hort ladder into a kind of collar ten feet square. Here, among other things, was an old burrel, whoso contents being turned out on thc wet ground, proved to be human bones, eleu ned-picked and white-thc hones of little children - among them three little skulls. Thc men stood and looked at theta in speech? less horror, mid the father of Pierro Verne turned livid and staggered against a tree. The bones were buried, but the rem?ins of the black conjuror were thrown out to feed the dogs and vultures. A native of Africa brought to the Louisi ana coast when full grown, the wretch had retained his cannibal appetite, und gratified it when lie could ut the risk of his lite. Wilding up thc stream near Rosie's house, he hud come upon the child swinging in her grape-vine swing near thc bank of the stream, and had de coyed her a little way where the bushes were thicker with the promise of a red bird, when suddenly he threw a sack over ber head, stifled her cries, and ran with her down the stream, which washed away his tracks, till he reached the point where the little rivulet emptied into tho bayou, und where he put Rosie into his bout, thut was moored there, mid curried her to his hut. He several times at tempted to make her eat, w'.ning to fatten her as he would au opossum before killing and cuting her. The dog Wolf, the child's faithful at tendant, who had followed close at tho abductor's heels, growling and threaten ing an attack, Koontz had knocked on thc head and sunk in thc bayou with a rock-weight attached to his neck, and he had thrown tlie child's bonnet at thc (bot of the double ash nearly a nile before reaching his cabin, reiucinbcng to lune seen the Texan standing there Ashing thc da)' before, and knowing frnui his negro confreres that Karlse was Malinc'n lover, whom she had refused because she did no wish to desert her little sister. That night's g.)od work, the saving of thc child, thc clasp ot her little arms about his neck hail made Rosie so dear to her deliverer that he would have left her no sooner than Malino would, and when thc girl went with him as his wile, to tho Indian Territory, they were accompanied by Jules and Rosie, and thc child was the life of the party, enjoying tbe .ravel and tbe camping out, and I liking well her new home, where, as a '/radsr, Karlse soon achieved thc fortune he had hoped for, and returned a com paratively rich man to u more civilized part of tho country, where Rosie is now growing up a bright school-girl, with tho promise of becoming thc village belle.

THE SENATE.-Tho Senate assembled at 12 m. in thc Senate Chamber, Thu House sent to the Senate a con current resolution relative to the cnuvnss of votes of Governor and Lieutenant Gov ernor, to bc made ut 2 p. nj. yesterday. The resolution was amended in the sec ond paragraph by striking out thc words, "and upon any such question there shall be uo debato in cither bouse," and by striking out the words and figures "Wed nesday, November 2D," und inserting the words and figures "Friday, December 1." These amendments were adopted by a Earty vote, Mr. Cochran voting with tho leinocrata. Mr. Meetze presented a communica tion stating that the House ol' Represen tatives were organized in Carolina Hall, with sixty-six members sworn in-more than a quorum-aud that they were ready for thc transaction of business. The j President ruled the paper out of order and said that it could not bc received un less so ordered by a vote of the Senate. Mr. Meetze appealed from the decision of the Chair. On the question of sustain ing thc decision of the Chair, thc yeas und nays were taken, and, by a party vote as before, the decision ol' the Chair was sustained. Swails presented the protest of Y. J. P. Owens against thu admission of R. P. Todd to a seat in the Senate ; which was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Cochran introduced the following resolution, which was ordered for consid eration on Friday : Whereas there exist grave doubts in thc minus of many Senators as to the fact of a legal quorum existing in the House of Representatives as reported to this hotly yesterday ; and whereas thc de termination of this question is ol' the highest importance to our future pro ceedings : liesotccd, That a committee of four bc appointed liv the President ol'the Senate, _i .. f_.._i _i_j.-._... i . i V?...?g......... .."I *.\JUI?, 'Ailinn ... .??fl,, . .l\ ll the two political parties, to inquire into this fact, and report as speedily aa possi ble to the Senate all the facta uccessary to settle thi . question. Mr. Bowen presented the following protest, to be entered on the journal: In accordance with notice given yester day, we, the undersigned Senators of the State, of South Carolina, beg hare to pince upon record this our solemn protest against nil proceedings by this body, .rliicb, in any degree, recognize the le* giility of a body calling itself the House of Representative* of South Carolina, over which E. W. ri. Mackey claims to ! preside u* Speaker, und which met on ? the 28th instant, and claimed to organize in tho hull ol' the House of Representa j tives. The constitution of South Carn I lina makes each House the judge of the ' election return, and qualificationa of its ; o?vn members." The Supremo Court of t tis State hos, hy formal judgment, dc-i culed that members from thc counties of Edgcficld and Laurent, who received the highest number of votes, wero entitled to scats. These members liuva been refused admission to thc hall and all participo* lion in its organization hy the armed (sol diers ol the United States, who barred with bayonet* thc door of the hull ol' the ii .ne of Representative*, and M'ted :<. .judges of t"hc "election returns ar 1 qna*> ificat?ons of iU members." We have seen armed forces of the United "States overriding the plain decla ration of tho constitution of thc State. Wc have witnessed the solemn mockery of thc corporal of the guard reviewing and reversing the judgment of the high est court. We have seen the spactacle, humiliating in the last degree to every right-minded American, of tho hall? of Legislature occupied at the hour of mid night, and holding them against thc in gress of the law-making power ; and this at a time of tho profoundest peace, and when not a single act of violence fur nished the slightest pretext for tho usur pation. We have seen tho still more humiliating spectacle of United States troops having been placed under thc im mediate control, and receiving orders from, a citizen, without authority, and a partisan of thc present administration. We have seen this citizen assuming abso lute control over the capitol of a cora iimiiwenith, and admitting through the lines of armed sentinels his own parti sans, upon his own edict or written pass from another citizen who was selected by his partisans to organize a House of Rep resentatives. We have seen this body of partisans thu* admitted claiming to or ganize the House, hut without a quorum, in violation of law, in defiance of the Supreme Court and under the protection of the United States troops. We, therefore, enter this our protest against any recognition of the said body pretending to he the House of Represen tatives of the State of South Carolina, and for the following reasons: 1. The said body having organized without a constitutional quorum, there being but .VJ members present, ?a shown by its own journal, wdiereas a majority ol the cntiro representation is requisite to a quorum, to wit: sixty-three members, JU set forth in the journals of thc Hou*( during the past eight years, and as con firmed hy the immemorial practice o legislative bodiea in every America! State; and we do further allege, on oui responsibility a? Senators, that the saic hotly is still without a constitution;! quorum, and therefore wanting in tin organic character nf the Hou^e of Rep resentatives of South Carolina, and ougli not to be recognised us such. 2. That said resolution was adopted b; the Senate before any announcement wa made of an organization by any Hous of Representatives. 3. 1 hat in fact, and in truth, no lcgu and effectual organization of a House c Representatives was at that time made. 4. that the body of men claiming io b a House of Representatives, anti fror which ?he announcement of Baid organi zation came, has not and cannot organizt by reason of the non-existence of a qur rum. 5. We further and finally protest again: I the adoption of the said resolution, fr this reason : That we have since receive I olfieial notification of the organization < i thc House of Representatives, nowsittin I iii Carolina Halt, where n quorum < legally constituted members does cxis and of which hotly Hon. William I Wallace has been elected Speaker, ar John T. Sloan Clerk. G. CANNON, T. B. JETE?, W. A. EVA NH. R. E. BOWEN, A. P. BUTLER, J. M. WILLIAMS, 8. S. CRITTENDEN, W. L. BUCK, H. A. MEETZE, R. G.

Thc soldiers evidently received a new set of inst tiona; and had nothing to say about t body going in the building who m wear the appearance of a civilized hui being. - Tho lawful Legislature ascended i solid body-Mr. Jame? L. Orr bein] thc lead. (Mr. Orr had said, upon occasion, that although a email mad did not want to hurt anybody, bu thought il likely ho would go in.) the door were a Deputy United Si Marshal and the Assistant Radical geant-at-Arms. As thc members preached the door, they were armed 1 their ccrtific.i'-.a of election. Tho d keeper*, hardly suspecting what wa? were completely nonplussed. The i Was opohsd to pass tho first uu-mhci tno head of the proCcsatoni ami rcs ? aa they passed the threshold they threw open tho doors, sad the wholo Democratic body marched io. All was dono perfect ly in order, no unseemly hast? being ob servable. They then took their seats. Tho whole business was ino naged so per ! fectly that nobody connected with tho bogus House bitd time to ask "Why things were thusly ?" I Aliut forty negro inembors inside looked perfectly du mb-founded, and the ? manner in which they began to wall their eyes around created thc imprcssiou upon tho minds of thc reporters that they thought iudguient day had come, and that tho devil had broke loose from some quarter. Gen. Wallace, thc Speaker of the law ful Legislature, walked up to thc Speak er's stand and took the chair. Gol. Sloan, tho Clerk, took his position, while the Sergernt-at-Arins remained nt the door with the Sergcaut-at-Arms of the Radi cal body. i Gen. Hampton, about this time, ap ! pronched thu door, and asked to bo per mitted to enter, but was refused by thc I Radical Scrgeant-at-Artus. This came 1 very uenr bringing about a row, per ceiving which, tien. Hampton declined to press thc matter, and went awry. Almost immediately alter this sccue, and before anybody hud time to take a second thought, Mackey and his Olerk, A. O. Jones, with United States Detec tive Hubbard and several otho. , were ceca to pass thc door. Geu. Wallace called thc Houso to or der, and Mackey ascended the Speaker's stand. Mackey, trembling like an aspen leaf with excitement, with blanched face, and gasping as if for breath, approached Gen. Wallace, and said : "Gen. Wallace, you will please vacate this chair." G"*n. Wullaco remained seated, and re plied : "I hnvo been elected by a majority o? the House of Representatives of South Carolina, and was duly sworn in, in Car olina Hall, on Tuesday, tho 28th of No vember instant. The constitution pro vides that tho Legislatura shall meet in the city of Columbia, on tho fourth Tues day in November. It makes no provision that the Houso shall be organized in this hall. On Tuesday last, a majority of thc members of thu House of Representatives, with certificate*, of election, were refused admission. They thou retired to Carolina Hall and organized, with a membership nf sixty six, who, according to the con stitution, were duly sworn in 'ind diker*, elected. Wc uri hero in pursuance ol our rights under th? constitution of the State of South Carolina. We desire tn oppress no man; to deprivo no man ol his rights on this flour. Wc desiro tc clnim only tho rights that belong to us, and thoso rights we intend to have." Mackey then r.nid: "I claim that! was elected Speaker of this Houso by t legal quorum of members, legally sworr in. Wc do not recognize that any othei than those sworn iu hero on Tuesday hui ure member* uf thi* House, and thea, men who aro visiting this hall wlthoui eminent must keep order. I mu?t nguir demand that you,Qouoral Wallace, lea vt this chair." General Wullaco replied: "I have al ready declared that I am the Icgulh elected Speaker of this House, and ?nus request you lo retire." Mackey-Tho 8ergeant-at-Arnie wll please step forward aud enforce rn; order. General Wallaco-The Sergeant-nt Arms will please step forward und onforc my order. The two Snrgeants-at-Arms marche; up the aisle together, nod each obeyei tho orders given them au far as makinj their appearance ou the stand was cull cerned. Several Poniocats and Radicals aa cended the stund and stood behind thei respectivo lenders. Neither Mackey no Geuerul Wallace moved, and there was general crowding toward tho Speaker* stand, as if nil parlies anticipated a roi -bul no row occurred, both parties hold ing firm, and tho two Sergeants-at-Arm stood looking at each ether like tw chicken cocks when puted for a fig I. A Democratic member then move that a committee of six bo appointed t udjust the mutter. General Wallace thereupon appointe Messrs. Simpson, Allon, Shaw, Gib-ton Hamilton and Grant the committee. M LA ck ey bawled out to bis crowd t lake no notice of General Wallaco, an ordered Jones, to call the roll, whio HOUP but Radicals answered. Rf ackey usked for somebody tu pray. Thomas, a mulatto, from Newberry then made a prayer. Mr. Gray, of Greenville, moved thi tho proper authorities bo informed, tlu a baud of insurgeants were interruptin tho lawful Huuso of Representatives < Snuth Carolina, and that they bo remove from the hull, General Wallaco appointed the con millee of three. Mackey here called out for all tho dc ?gales lo come forward and be sworn. General Wallaco did the Hame. Nobody camo forward. Several Dotnoumta were recognised I General Wallace when they arose I speak while Mackey recognized Rud cala lu tho came way. In a few monien a half dozen were on the floor, all at 01 time and all speaking, addressing the respective Speakers. At this stage Mackey consulted Ge Dennis, who had been tue chief cook ut bottle-washer of thc organization Mackoy's Radical House, and sent hi with a nicssngo to Chamberlain that 1 was disturbed by men net members the House, and called upun him to ser troops to eject them? Den nU departed smiling, which seeim tn indicate tliat till would be. fixed tost bim in short order. Mackey then turned to his mob ai told them that order would be reston in a few moments, and the De m ocr. would be ejected. Double- speeches continued for soi time, and both Sergctints-.it-A rms we directed to stop them and sent the spca ern, but all to no purpose. .Mr. Shepherd, of bdgefield, arose ai proposed a conference, nnd pledged hil seit and tho petty to abide the result. Everything was hubbub and confus! up to this point, when N. B. Myer? colored Republican member front* Ben fort, mudo u speech, in which he declat that Chum benni ii could hot give the St: the penco and quiet she 1 needed. J was incapable to do so, even if he v willing, and ho therefore hoped Gene Hampton would bc declared Governor the Stnte. He said that he wus a nut i Caraliniun, and had. all the love for 1 any mun could have for tho land of birth, aud it was this love for the Sta which was greater than that he ent tallied for the men who had brought ri upon it, which made bim hope Hamp! woutd be declared elected Governor.

He waa "straightout fdr Obamberlun, fua', lim', in de mowin', in de cbenin', an' all night, an' all de time." _ A dozen or moro of auch speeches of a similar character were made by thc Badi cals, thc Democrats generally quietly biding their time, all band i eating their suppers in the hall, and seeming resolved to set it out. General Ruger gave General Wal?uco notice that unless thc hall was cleared of all parties other than member* who held the certificates of the Board of Canvassers by 12 o'clock to-morrow, he should, with troops, drive them out. He also directs that tho Democratic delegates elected from Edgefield mid Laurens vacate their scats. A colored member moved to adjourn or for Mackey lo order supper for his side of the House. Gen. Ruger made a proposition for both Houses to adjourn until to-morrow. . Speaker Wallace asked if all thc Dem ocratic members would bo allowed to enter on re assembling. Gen. Ruger said no, that Edgefield and Laurens would bo excluded. Thereupon the two Houses resolved to try to out act each other, and two cart loads of supper were sent down to the Democrats, who took their meals in the hall, so that if they w'ero ?.xcludcd it should be done nt the point of the bayo net. The following letter waa sent to Geu. Ruger in reply to his notice to Speaker Wallace : COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 30. To General T. H. Ruger, Otmmanding United States Troop? in &}ttth Curo lina : DEAB Sin-WO have just hoard thrungli Maj. McGinuis, of your Staff, that ymir order communicated to Mr. Wallace, Speaker of thc House of Repr? sentatives, that at 12 o'clock to-morrow, thc members elect from Edgefiold would not bc allowed upon the floor of the House. To say that we arc surprised at such au order after the explanations and pledges made by you to each one of us, is to use very mild language, when the outrage of Tuesday last was committed, by the placing ?d' armed sentinels nt tho door of thc House of Representatives, who decided upon thc admission of mem bers tn their seats ; mid when the pro visions of the Constitution, and tho do cision of tho Supreme Court wore brought to your attention, you distinctly, and warmly asserted, again and again, that your orders were niisiinderstood.and that you hud not intended to hnvo sentinels at thc doors of the Hail, and that you had not, and did not intend to assume to decide upon the legality of any man's seat, or upon his right to enter tho Hall. You wero then reminded by us, that your guard received instructions from ono Dennis, a citizen and partisan of Gov. Chamberlain, to admit parlies upon his own pass, or that of one Jones, and had, through aimed force, excluded all delegates from thc hull until thc Repub lican organization was completed. You assured us again that such were not your orders. You were told by us thst not withstanding the perpetration of III?B irrepressible shume upon our institutions, and thc rights of tho people, the evils could still be remedied without any vio lence or bloodshed, by the simple with drawal of your guard from tho (lours of the hall, in o-der that the Democratic members may have a fair struggle with the Republicans, mid by a fair majority of tho votes, decide all questions in ac cordance willi the law, and the usages of the legislative bodies. You Mated that no troops ahnl) be at the door, and that under no circumstances would you inter fere, except there should occur a serious disturbance ?if the peace. You ailinn your determination to exerciso no super visory control whatever over the body or bodies claiming to be tho House of Rep resentatives. All this occurred on yes terday. Last night, in a later interview with Senator Gordon, you mude the same assertion, mid this p. m., after both bod ies were assembled in the hali, you as sured Gen. Hampton that under no cir cumstances would you interfere except to keep the peace. What now can justi fy our astonishment nt the issuance of such an order us the one just Hent by ynuT There is un breach of the peace, and no prospect of serious disturbances. Yon had it officially brought to your knowl edge that a general good humor prevails in that hall. We cannot refrain from expressing the apprehension nf the fact, I that n number of leading Republicans are taking issue with the legality oi* the I proceedings by tho Republicans. ? The house has changed your line of duty. It is presumed that we ?hould say, in conuluuion, thal we rely upon your position as a man, and your charac ter ns a soldier, to maintain your pledge of non-interference. The Democratic members from Edgefield and Laurens are' entitled to their seats by the judgment . of the Supreme Court of this State, and wo have advised them to remain in that hall until removed by your troop?, that, the issue may ho made in this, the Cen tennial year, nf American Independence, whether we have a government nf law, as co a >t ru ed by the Courts, or a centralized despotism, whose only law Is force. ? Let the American people behold the spectacle pf a. Brigadier Genend of the army, seated by the aide of Gov.
