CARROLL PARISH LEVEES.
Long and Hard Struggle.
INFLOW OF CAPITAL PREDICTED.

The last number of the Elton Eagle, pub
lished in Carroll parish by Captain George
A. Sheridan, says:
The citizens of our parish have had q,
long and hard struggle with the river and
the river has been ahead in the fight for the
last three or four years. We are of opinion
that our time has come at last, and conf
IDENTIFY expect to send the river on to the
gulf by its proper route. instead of letting
it seek new channels through Carroll and
adjoining parishes. Judge Benham has
done splendidly for Carroll.
The Levee Board had 100000 to spend
for the entire State, of which amount Judge
Benham has had appropriated $50, 900 for
work in Carroll. The contracts for build
ing the "EltonH levees has been awarded to
Msjor Burke of New Orleans, at twenty.
niue cents, and the arlington" levees to
M. McGlnty, at the same price.
A number of citizens from Carroll bid on
the above named levees, but they we're ali
too high.
The 'Bass" and "savagep levees are To

THE BARRACKS CAR TRAGEDY.
Arrest Of the Supposed Murderer.
THE cIRcUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

Captain Schoenecker, of the Fifth Dis
trict Police Precinct, desired this reporter
yesterday morning to make NO mention
then of the arrest of a colored man named
Daniel Lewis, suspected of being the mur-
derer of the Barracks street car driver and
his son.
The circumstantial evidence against him
Is strong. His arms were bloody on the
night Of the murder; his shirt and pants
were spotted with blood and he secreted
them, but they have since been found. The
police authorities are investigating the
matter thoroughly and hope to obtain
sufficient testimony to convict the muir
derer. Evidence is accommodating.

General Howard's Letter to Secretary
of War.
The following letter has been addressed
by General Howard to the Secretary Of
War:
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 2, 1868.
To J. M. sehoheld, Secretsry Of War:
SIR have the hon0rjto request that this
letter may be considered as supplementary
TO my annual report to Congress. The OBJ
ject of it is to request, through you, that
Congress appoint committee to make
thorough examination and report of the ad-
ministration of the Bureau of Freedmen
and Abandoned Lands from the twenty
eighth of May, 1865, TO the fifth Of Decem-
ber, 1868, when the Bureau proper is closed
by limitation of law.
Such an examination will enable Con-
gress and the country to ascertain the facts
with regard to work OF great importance,
that cost large outlay of the public money
and anxiety and labor on the part Of those
officeas who have endeavored conscienti-
ously to execute the trusts committed to
! them-a work that claims to have been
largely instrumental in carrying out the
benevolent purpose of the general govern
ment toward those who were to pass sud
denly from the condition of slaves TO that Of
freedmen, endowed with the rights and
privileges of citizenship.
The propriety of asking for such an ex-
animation and report will, it is believed
commend itself to your judgment rs tht
best method of placing on record an impair
tial history of emancipation, its conse quen
ces and its further demands on this country
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
| (Signed) o. o. HOWARD,
Major General Commissioner.
