GRETNA.-Affairs in Gretna are quiet this
morning. Yesterday armed citizens en-
tered the houses of colored inhabitants in
that vicinity to search for arms. During
the day a meeting of armed citizens was
held at which resolutions were adopted
declaring that the authority of the Metro
politan Police would not be recognized by
them. At this time about sixty-ive
policemen were over thele under the COM
mand of Captain Badger, of the Sixth Po-
lice precinct.
Citlzens waited on Colonel Badger and
assured him that no violence would be used
against his men, but they would not
recognize his police authority, they assured
him that there wonld be no disturbances.
A squad of infantry was sent over there,
numbering less than twenty men. There
being no appearance of 7iolence, Captain
Bradley withdrew all his force except a
Sergeant OF the police and ten men.
Subsequently the officer in command OF the
military, menacing disposition manifesting
itselftoward the police, advised that the re-
mainder Of the Metropolitans should be
withdrawn, which was done, and an in
creased force of infantry and artillery was
thrown into the town, to prevent the mas.
sacre of colored men by the armed citizens
who had collected there.
Gretna has since been quiet.
This is another fearful "negro riot
where the colored people were as
sailed, driven out of town by armed
men acting in defiance of law, and because
for self preservation the colored men as
sembled together, they were threatened
with humiliation.
Captain Badger is a gallant ex-Federal
officer, who is as courageous as he is intelli-
gent, and who did not yield to the dictates
of mob, but acted strictly according to
instructions.
1t is to be hoped that quiet is now fully
restored. Outside parties and not the citl-
zens of Gretna are responsible for the dis
turbances there.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

SERIOUS CHARGE.-Tbe case against Cap
tain Edwin F. Davis, of the British ship
Golconda, from Liverpool, for alleged vic
lation of the person of Agnes E. Skipper,
wife of Philip S. Skipper, both of whom
were passengers on that ship, was yester-
day sent by Recorder Jackson to United
States Commissioner Warren. The follow
ing testimony was taken:
Philip S. Skipper-I made the affidavit
from information received from my wife.
l was steerage passenger from Liverpool
on the ship Golconda. On the morning OF
the second of October, about four o'clock,
/ found my wife crying in stateroom
which she occupied asked her what was
the matter. She said that the Captain had
twice offered her violence, and had threat
ened my life. The stateroom was one
which the Captain had given my wife on
account of her being too sick to remain in
the berth in the Storage.
Mrs. Skipper confirmed the same state
ment.
The steward of the vessel, Eldridge,
swore he heard no noise at the time of the
alleged outrages. He would have heard
the noise II any had been made. Mr.. Skip
per turned in early and Mrs. Skipper stayed
up until about eleven o'clock. Mrs. Skip
per told me afterward that nothing of the
kind had occurred between her and the
captain. The sofa on which witness slept
was about two yards from the room Mrs.
Skipper occupied. He slept on this sofa
every night from the time they left Liver
poo. The captain turned them-Mr. and
Ms. Skpper-out of the cabin, saying he
did not allow such rumors as had been out
about him and Mrs. Skipper.
The second mate, Mr.. Martin, swore that
the captain, in the presence of the witness,
the first mate and Mr. Skipper, asked Mrs.
Skipper if he had not always treated her as
gentleman should treat lady, to which
Mis-. Skipper answered that be had.

name of pity, do not ask Horatio
Seymour to make speeches for him
self after he is dead! There is
something SO CHASTITY and funereal in
The idea of having Seymour close the cam
paign with stumping tour, that Democrats
must be far gone when they rely upon such
an expedient to "revive the courage Of
their followers !" Poor Blair has been
"reviving courage ia that same fashion
for some time, with manifest results. Per-
haps Seymour might have done some good
two months ago, but now, after all is set
tied, to ask him to speak is simply cruelty
to animals"

TREsPAss AND SHARP REToRT.-This
morning a very intelligent widow lady was
the prosecuting witness against party for
trespass on certain premises which she as
five-eighths' ownership in claim and pos
session of on Poydras street, between
Franklin and Liberty, but portion of
which the accused claimed possession Of
by lease from another party. She was
sharper than the lawyers, and entirely dis
regarded their delicately sensitive feelings.
To one of the opposing counsel, who asked
question, she answered plnmply, " 1t is
none of your business" She confused and
COMPOUNDED the counsel for the defense.
When she said her counsel had dele
gated to her authority to ask certain ques-
tions the opposing counsel rejoined, "she
has right to ask questions so long as she
behaves herself" This aroused all the
woman in her, and she exclaimed, "you
can not say that do not always behave
myself. You would not say so, il l had a
brother to defend me-" 1t was most in-
teresting case, but extremely diffidult to re-
port, and do full justice to the matter.
Colonel Lemley whose attenusted form
makes him marked man, was one Of her
counsel
