How to Lodge CnmnIaints.

Somebody signing himself "Storekeeper'
complains to the versatile Roundabout
of the Times of bad smell in the neighbor-
hood of the Gus tomhouse building, and
states that numerous complaints have
been made already. Roundabout" en-
cOurages the correspondent with the obser-
walton that the sanitary inspector will
probably attend to the matter, as soon as
he is elected. We would call the attention
of Roundabout" and his correspondent to
the fact that there are four sanitary inapec-
tors on duty, tAt they can not be expected
to see everything, particularly while the
larger portion of their time is taken up
with cases of small pox. The only com
plant the sanitary officer of the district
has heard of was made nearly year ago.
1t was referred to Colonel Casey. and
promptly attended to. If "Storekeeper''
and "ROundabout" did as the health ordi-
nances require, they would save time and
trouble, cause the nuisance to be more
speedily abatej. and all this without inius-
tice to a %aretu |. courteous and cOnscien-
tious officer. We copy for their informa-
ton the following section:
SEC. "a. 1t shall be the duty of al. good
citizens to lodge complaints at the office of
the Board of Health, or with the Sanitary
inspectors, or with the officers of the SAM
tary Police, OF any violations of this ordi2-
ance; and in order to facilitate such COM
plants, books of complaint shall be kept at
the Office OF the Board of Health and at the
office of each SANITARY Inspector; and said
books shall. at all times, be open for enter
ln9 therein any such complaint or wrong.

MIDNIGHT MURDER IN JACKSON PARIsE
A WORTHY CITIZEN ASSAsSlNaTED
The MURDERER ESCAPES DETECTION

We are permitted to copy the following
letter. addressed to I. de s. Tucker, ESQ,
of this city, by Hon. John Ray. of Monroe.
| There were rumOrs some days since of a
| bloody deed Of midnight murder in jack
! son parish but this letter gives the first
information that has been had concerning
the details OF the terrible crime. Mr.. Nc
Donald was an old gentleman of wealth and
high social standing. He was candidate.
strongly urged, for the position of division
superintendent of education for the fifth
District. the position to which Mr.. Brewster
was finally appointed.
1t is only few weeks ago that we gave
place in the REPUBLICAN to a series Of resO-
lutions, adopted at meeting held in Jack
son parish, presided over by Major Jones,
and addressed by Captain Kidd where Re-
publicans were held to be the common
enemy OF the people and subjects for ex-
termination. The fruit is ripening; this
murder is doubtless the logical result.
MONROE. La. April 2, 1878.
T. De $. Tucker, Esq:
You have no doubt heard, through tele-
of our friend w. D. Mcdonald, of jackson
parish. | would have written to you sooner
on the subject, but have been waiting to
learn the particulars. What have learned
up to this time is about this:
When Mr.. Mcdonald was undressing to
go to bed at the hotel THAT place we stayed
at in Vermont. in the middle room on the
first floor, he was shot through the window
from the outside with buck shot, some nine
entering his body. He Immediately gave
the alarm to Mr.. Hamlet Ia lawyer in the
adjoining room, and said he had been shot
by John Barnard. He only lived an hour
| understand the coroner held an inquest
over the body, and no clue was had as to
who did the foul deed. It is said Barnard
proved he was at home lin town. at the
time. Besides it is not likely Mcdonald
could have seen who cid the act, as he was
in lighted room and could not see any
person on the outside.
You know Mr.. Mcdonald was one
of the most prominent and worthy
citizens of North Louisiana, and thus
far | have not heard that he
had had any personal difficulty with any
one. 1t IS suspected here that the fact that
he had earnestly espOused the Republican
party-his son having been appointed tax
collector of Jackson parish-and he being
an outspoken and earnest friend of Colonel
Green and his sons, was the otiense which
caused his assassination. | most sincerely
hope that some other solution of the matter
will be had for this most tOul deed.
Mr.. Mcdonald had resided in Jackson
parish from twenty five to thirty years. He
married in that parish, and leaves a wife
and twelve children, most of them minors.

A Political Episode,

One OF the most amusing political cpl
sOdes Of the season occurred few days
since. The McEnery Legislature went
through the farce of eXpelling Senator A.
B. Harris, who represents the district COM
posed OF Concordia and Avoyelles parishes.
Anew election was ordered by Mr.. McEnery.
One day last week country gentleman
called on Mr.. Charles H. Merritt, State reg
istrar of voters, and asked him if he was
the successor of Mr.. Blanchard. Replying
that he was, this gentleman handed him a
document which he opened, and found it
10 be the returns of the election in
Avoyelles parish for successor to Mr..
Harris. It appeared by these returns that
in the entire parish, numbering many
Democrats. only sixty-fve votes were cast.
Mr.. Merritt very quietly informed the
gentleman that there was q mistake about
the returns-that they were intended to go
another direction. The bearer of the re-
turns begged Mr.. Merritt to indorse upon
the envelope that it was opened by him
through mistake, which he did, and wrote
on it, Respectfully referred to my friend
Mr.. B. P Blanchard.

Louisiana Jockey Club-Nineteenfh In
fantry Band Entertainment.

The second of the series Of Saturday az
ternOOn concerts 10y the Nineteenth Infant
~ band, at the grounds of the Louisiana
Jockey Club. was attended by a greater
number of ladies and gentlemen yesterday
than the first. The grounds looked even
more beautiful than they did the week pre-
vious, and there was a delightful freshness
in the appearance of the shrubbery and a
rare fragrance among the flowers. The
orange blossoms perfumed the walks which
these native trees bordered, and ramble
through the spacious gardens was like a
visit to another land than the heart of the
Crescent City.
The most of the ladies who were there
represented the families of the stockholders
of the club, though there were manv in.
vited guests. The gentlemen who were
conspicuous in receiving the ladies were
Colonel G. A. Breaux, president Of the
club; Mr. Charles T. Howard, Mr. John A.
Morris, r. W. Simmons, Colonel J. o.
Nixon and Captain E. A. Yorke.
Among the distinguished guests present
were General Emory, General Smith, Col
onel Saunders. Captain Hays, Colonel Nc
Comb and Mr.. John E. Russell, magazine
writer and correspondent of leading North
ern journals.
The stockholders OF the Louisiana Jockey
Club number from six to seven hundred.
and there will shortly be an addition to this
number. They are deeply interested in the
success of the club generally, and particu-
larry in the series of Saturday afternoon
entertainments, which are given for the
qualification of the ladies, that they may
enjoy the beauties of nature in flowers,
shrubs. trees, shady groves and winding
streams

Violation of the Enforcement Act.

This is Washington special to the ST..
Louis Democrat:
The trial of Captain Hardwicb, chief of
police of Lynchburg, for violation of the
enforcement act, has just been concluded
before the United States Court in that city,
Judge Rivers presiding. The Offense con-
sisted in forming two lines at the polls at
the last eleCtion-one for white and one for
colored-and forcing the latter to keep in
their own line. The defendant claimed
that this system of two lines was instituted
by federal officers in that city, and that its
working has been entirely acceptable to all
parties; so much 80, that it was followed at
the recent presidential election at all pre-
cincts. The Judge charged the jury that
che act OF Captain Hardwick was illegal,
and riot and bloOdshed had better ensue
than that distinction should be made be-
tween the two races. On Wednesday the
jury reported that they were unable to
agree on a verdict and were discharged,
the cOlored members of the jury being for
conviction. and the white members tos ac-
quittal.

Mr.. RAGLAND having paid the requires
tax of s5,047.50 yesterday on the bill TO
Incorporating the Weldon, Petersburg ant
Washington Railroad Company, it wa
allowed to be introduced, and passed to TIN
consideration of the Senate Committee OF
Roads and Internal Navigation. AS this il
substantially an enlargement of the princi
pie of free and unrestricted railroad compe
tition in the State, we hope to see thu
bill favorably reported on, and the fran
chise granted. We deem it vita
to the interests of the State thai
no barrier should exist to the fullest ant
freest investment of capital in railroad
enterprises among us, and especially in such
as promise cheaper and more direct trans.
portation of the products of this State, ant
of other States seeking transit through
this, to and from the different producing
sections and commercial centres of the Re.
public. There is no danger from the
largest competition-only restrictive
and restricting monopoly is what we
should dread, and what we should
guard against in our legis-
lation if possible. Neither Mr..
Ragland, nor the company which he repre-
sents, would invest dollar in the project.
ed railroad if it did not offer handsome
return in advantages to both his company
and the public. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad has just determined to extend its
line to Chicago, and thus open another
through route from the seaboard to the
great heart of the interior. How idle to
claim that this wo uld. ruin any one of the
other great lines of rapid transit between
the points named. The more trunk lines
the less danger from monopoly; and the
cheaper the freights and passage the
larger the amount of traffic and
travel. We are friendly to all railroads
hos tile to none. But we are also in favor
Of cheap and rapid transportation, and
believe that the only way to get it is to let
competition step in and adjust the matter
by the laws that naturally govern in all
other branches of traffic and trade. We
want no railroad blockades or monopolies
that stand in the way of cheap fares and
cheap freights for the people. The public
interest is what should be considered, and
there is no danger of its suffering from
competing lines of railway.
Mr.. Ragland having paid $4,000 for the
privilege of being heard on the merits of
his bill, should have fair hearing, as his
own interests and those of the State de-
mand. But we regard his interests, or
those of his company, but slight, in fact,
as compared with the greater interest which
his line of road offers to the people of the
State.
