SHIPMENT OF CROPS TO BUREAU FACTORS
The following circular, emanating from the
Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, is
published for information:
Frequent applications having been made
to these headquarters from planters who
have received supplies under the provisions
of circulars Nos. l and s, current series, to
be relieved from the requirements of their
bonds-as provided for in said circulars
the Assistant Commissioner concludes that
some of the agents of this Bureau have not
properly explained the provisions of those
circulars. It is also thought that some
planters assisted, perhaps, in some cases,
by agents of the Bureau desire to evade
their obligations by shipping their crops to
other merchants than those designated as
factors of the Bureau, in orders No. ii, cur
rent series.
Planters and agents are distinctly in,
formed that no deviation from the require
ments of their bond will be allowed, and
that their entire crops must be shipped to
the factors designated in orders No. IA
aforesaid.
Any agent assisting or attempting to as
sist a planter or other party to eVade his
obligations in thismatter-or who, suspect
ing that planter is attempting to evade
them, does not take all proper measures in
his power to prevent the same, will be sum-
marily dismissed.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

VOLUNTARY STATEMENT OF ROBERT VEss.-
Our readers are probably familiar with
some of the facts pertaining to the case in
which Britton Woods was shot and killed,
on the night of the third of July, by
Robert Vess, after which Robert and his
brother George surrendered themselves,
and have since remained in prison without
benefit of bail. The case was called yester-
day before Recorder Becker, when Robert
signifed his wish to make a voluntary state
ment, which is copied below:
went out to my house, and on the way
out there found my things gone, chain and
lock broken; told my brother about it when
/ came to town; some person had carried
away his chest of carpenter tools; the next
night they carried away his clothing, and
mine too; a large table, furnace, and stove
were also carried away; do not know who
took them off; one Thursday night my
brother and | went out to watch for them
my brother George took the first watch; at
midnight he called me, and complained of
being tired, and said he wished to go to
sleep; told him would take the gun while
he rested himself; he told me not to try to
hit the thieves; / had been watching about
an hour when l saw some one creeping
along close 10 the cistern; at first thought
It was my brother; hailed the person four
times; he never answered me; the fifth time
/ hailed him my brother also called out;
the man put his hand into his bosom as if
to draw pistol; my brother said if he does
not answer to his name shoot him; / fired,
and deceased fell just where / shot him; he
laid there few moments, then jumped up
and ran about ten steps; we ran after him;
we then came to town and surrendered our.
selves.
On this and the testimony of an inmate
rial witness the papers were sent before the
Criminal Court.

THE CANAL STREET BEAR SHow.-one of
the attaches of the pavilion museum and
mensgerie at the foot of Canal street named
G. Monroe has found his match in an eX-
newsboy named Nicholas LAWS. Monroe is
in the habit of enticing unsophisticated per
sons into the show. In this instance it ap-
pears from the affidavit made in the Second
District Recorders Court by LAWS, that
Monroe tried to induce him to enter the
establishment, which he refused to do.
Monroe then handed him a programme, and
while he was looking at 1t Monroe tried to
pick his pocket. LAWS swore positively
that he found Monroe's hand at two differ
ent times on his pocketbook. LAWS then
made an affidavit charging Monroe with as
sault with intent to rob. A very poor de-
tense was set up by Monroe, who simply
denied all knowledge of the affair. Recorder
Gastinel sent the accused before the Grim
inal Court.
This is not legitimate place of amuse-
ment, and the city authorities should adopt
some means to persuade unsuspeeting PEG.
pie to keep away from it.

WAS IT PERJURY?-The minor difficult es
existing between H. N. Frisbie and freed
man Samuel Pollard came to an issue yes.
terday before Recorder Jackson. Mr.. Fris-
bic testified that about the thirtieth of
June Pollard perjured himself in suit be.
fore the Sixth Justices Court by swearing
that Frisbie owed him twenty-six dollars
for services rendered. There had been a
contract on the part of Pollard to perform
certain work, which prosecutor claims was
only in part performed. hence prosecutor
refused payment. Pollard sued for the dol
lars he demanded, and then Frisbie made
charge against Pollard for perjury. Decision
reserved until next Monday.

AN OLD Sue DEvIL,-A mother and daugh-
ter appeared yesterday morning in Recorder
Gastiners court upon cross charge from
each. The mother charges her daughter,
a young girl OF about fifteen or sixteen
years, with being uncomfortable and dis
obedient. The daughter, in turn, charges
her mother with extreme cruelty, and with
actually trying to force her to live a life
Of shame, and give the proceeds of such life
to the support of the mother. The daughter
fatty refused to lead such life of shame,
whereupon her mother took her out of her
bed at'nlght, and, en- deslaJne, led her to
house of illfame on Dauphine street, and
forced her in. Next day the girl ran away,
and lived out as servant in a respectable
family on Rampant street. This happened
about two months ago. The mother for a
time lost track of her daughter, but yes,
terday succeeded in finding her and had
her arrested. The girl stated in court that
she would rather spend the remainder Of
her days in prison than to lead such life
as her mother endeavored to force her TO-
and asked the protection of the court.
Recorder Gastinel informed the parties
that they had brought before him case
properly within the jurisdiction of the civil
courts, but if the girl desired he would give
her all the protection in his power, and tina
was to commit her. The mother at these
words seized the child and amid her strug
giles led her out of the court room. The
girl being minor was of course under the
control of her mother, but it is deplorable
that young girl sh@lld be forced by her
own mother to live lewd and abandoned
life

Bradford, alias Bafora, residing on Camp

The manner of trapping. him was, a huckster
Of Magazine market was called on by &C

dollars worth of nickels for two dollars and
half the huckster bought the metals.
Other parties were instructed to procure
these counterfeits from accused, and thus
the fellow was caught. Specials Dumas and
the place. On some of the nickles obtained
by the market man were stains that led the
officers to believe that the coin had been
buried. On searching the premises nothing
was found, but proceeding to the stable a
dung hill was overhauled and quantity Of
the "queern discovered. Nothing else was
found, not even mold; or filings; nothing
whatever to indicate that the coin was
manufactured on the premises. Before the
arrest a certain citizen who had bought
some of them, saw a bueketfull of the
counterfeits, but when the officers arrived

THE misunderstanding some re-
marks in yesterday mornings Times in
timating foul play on the part of some evil.
minded Republicans was the cause of the
unfortunate affair in Lafayette Square
Thursday night, it occurred to my mind at
once that the real cause of the disaster,
which all good people regret, admits of a
very plain and plausible solution.
The stand that unfortunately fell was con
struoted previous to the late heavy rains
which have so softened the earth about the
posts set in the soil as to render them liable
to give way under heavy weight, with the
least inclination, which would be very apt
TO arise when such stand is occupied by
living, moving beings. Hence it seems quite
unnecessary to incite prejudice in the minds
ofa people already too much excited on mere
surmises having no foundationin fact.

ANEEDFUL THNG.-Some months ago ono
of the city police could always be FOUND
in the neighborhood of the Second District
ferry landing generally on the wharf, wise
was very useful in preventing aoeidsHt
among the juvenile population, whose exu-
berant spirits frequently led them too near
the river. Lately however, policeman is
no longer seen about the wharf, nor any
nearer the river than the markethouse. This
is the more to be regretted since the exten-
sion of the Pontchartrain railroad along the
levee. Hardly ever does the train pass the
market, where it stops for a couple of min.
utes, but some foolish boy can be seen hang
ing on, or else SO near as to endanger him
when the cars move again. 1t would be a
good thing if the policemen were to be sent
around again.
