A rich widow in New York, according TO the
city papers, has had to pay dearly for trivial
indiscretion. The story is that the lady, Mrs.
Curtis, came some months ago from California
with her husband, who soon after died. She
was without friends in the city, but at her board
ing house made acquaintance, of course, and
became quite intimate with one lady there. On
the oath Of January, an extremely cold day, she
had occasion to 90 out, and, not having gar
ment warm enough, she thoughtlessly borrowed
a velvet cloak belonging to her acquaintance,
who was not then in the house. While she was
out the owner Of the cloak returned and miss
ing it, was told that Mrs. Curtis had worn it.
Assuming at once that the cloak had been stol-
en-, this lady made complaint at the nearest
police station, and Mrs. Curtis was arrested as
she was returning home. Next morning she
was arraigned at the Jefferson market police
court, and Notwithstanding her respectable ap-
pearance, her protestations of innocence,
and her pathetic appeals for time to prove her
character and responsibility, the magistrate
held her to answer at the court Of general ses-
sions. She had money, but no friends to be-
come bail for her; she was bewildered, helpless,

which she found herself. The result was
that she was sent TO the Tombs,
and as the prison was then overcrowded she
was locked up in the same cell with prostitutes
and thieves. She contrived to send telegram
TO a friend of her family, merchant of San
Francisco, begging his help, and he started at
once to relieve her; but the snow blocka &c de
tanned him so long that he was unable to be Of
service. Her case was called on the 14th Of
February, the complainant did not appear, and
she was discharged, after being imprisoned
three weeks, and suffering from shame and vile
associations more than one can readily imagine.
The magistrate, whose careless haste in dis
patching the business Of his court, caused this
outrage, is severely censured Charles Reade

The First Annual Report of the Board of Com
missioners of the Department of Public Parks
is the ponderous name of an equally weighty
volume of 427 pages, deliberately printed on
heavy tinted paper and illustrated with photo
graphs, Autographs, engravings, plans and
maps, on the most liberal scale. The report is
preceded by the following brief comment by the
present controller of New York city:
"Ths volume, the first annual report of the de
partment evinces a singular want of comprehen-
sion the methods, purposes and designs of the
original commission; it makes concessions re-
specting the public proprietorship Of thelands of
the park, which are not TO be accepted, and con-
tains numerous statements and implications
which are to be received with caution.
As the name of the undersigned appears on
its title page, he deems it due 10 the public, TO
his colleagues of the earlier board and 10 him
self TO submit this brief disavowal of reSponsi-
bility for this report which he never saw till it
was in print, as well as for the administration 1t
records. Another change has brought into the
department those more in sympathy with the
views of the original commissioners. They
find this costly report printed, and although It's
statements are not approved it is deemed best
that its distribution be continued with TINS ad-
monitory note. ANDREW H. GREEN"
A protest in a somewhat similar spirit, from
Messrs. Olmsted and Vaux, the landscape
architects of the original commission, follows
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
splendid parE, so munifcenty and wisely
planned and so faithfully administered while it
was in the hands of the first commission, has
now been rescued from the tasteless and dis
honest philistues who had possession of it for
a time

A lively exchange of shots between
Messrs. S. Leaveck and I. D. Moore,
disturbed the usual quiet of Thibo-
daux last Thursday evening. The
difficulty originated in some re-
marks made by Moore (who is law
yer) in open court, in defence of a
client, which Leaveck thought de-
rogatory to his character; accordingly
stationing himself near Moore's resi-
denee, as soon as that gentleman
made his appearance he opened fire,
which was promptly returned, Lea
week shooting eight times, Moore
twice. The noise attracting the at
tention of the Sheriff, he fastened to
the scene and succeeded in arresting
both gentlemen in time to prevent
bloodshed.

Platform and Resolutions
ADOPTED BY THE
state Convention
August 10th, 1872.

We, the Liberal party of the State of Loui-
siana, III Convention assembled, do hereby
proclaim and adopt the following as our plat
form of principles, essential to the redemp-
tiop of our beloved State from the evils of
Imisgoyernment, and tending to the restora
ton of just, wise and patriotic rule, the vim
tlication of the rights of the sovereign people :
/. We recognize the platform of the Cincin-
natl Convention of Liberal Republicans as
ratified and endorsed by the National
Demoeratiez Convention as eIninantly judi
eious and representing the sympathies and
needs of oIlr State and country, and we
recognize in the National standard bearers
of the great peoples party, Horace Greeley
and Benz Gratz Brown, men of sterling
worth, capable of restoring the Government
to the simplicity and purity of its earlier
years, when Washington, Adams and Jeffer-
son were guardians of our liberties. We
therefore pledge them our undivided and
earnest support.
2 We recognize the political and civil
rights of all men, and pledge ourselves to
maintain them, and we invite all men without
regard to past political differences to unite
with us in our honest effort to accomplish such
salutary reforms as are now or may be de
manded by the people.
g. We demand that our State Government
shall be administered justly and economi-
cally, and to that end we pledge ourselves to
the abolition of useless offices; the reduction
Of exorbitant salaries of officials; the early
redemption of the legal obligations of the
State, and the reduction of taxation as speed
lily as possible.
A. We demand that laws shall be enacted
for the punishment of bribery, and that the
powers of the Executive be diminished, be-
ing inconsistent with republican institutions,
and subversive of the wishes of the people.
B. Recognizing public education as an inn
perative necessity and a guardian Of our lib
critics. we pledge ourselves to maintain a
generous and benifeent free school system
which shall be extended to every portion of
the State and embrace in its privileges the
children of all classes, and we shall demand
q strict economy and performance Of duty on
the partsgf school officials.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-09-21

We shall soon see how much of a
prophet Horace Greeley is. He said,
before the recent elections, that the
only New England States that could
be counted upon to give majorities for
the Liberal candidates are New
Hampshires and Connecticut. Per-
haps this should cool the ardor
OF the Grant journals that are now
going into ecstacies over the Maine
and Vermont elections. They have
resulted just as the Liberal leaders
anticipated, or rather more favorably
than was expected, so we really can't
see why the Administration papers
should make SO much fuss over them.
But then we will not grudge them the
pleasure, as it appears to be to them,
for they win be fearfully cast down
soon enough, poor things.
