Death Warrants.

Death warrants have been signed by
Governor Kellogg and directed to the
sheriff of the parish of Assumption, fixing
Friday, the twenty-frst day Of August
1874, between the hours of nine and twelve
O'Clock, as the time for the hanging by the
neck until dead of James Robertson, con-
victed of the crime of counseling, COM
manding and procuring the murder of
Elisha Eastwood.
Similar warrants have been issued for the
execution at the same time of John Ross,
Anderson Perry, James Williams and An
tome Maurice, accomplices of Robertson in
the murder of Eastwood Robertson is a
white man. He planned the murder and
supplied the weapons. Three of his accom-
plices are of mixed blood, being almost
white. The other has the appearance OF
being an unadulterated negro.
We understand that death warrants will
soon issue in the case of two other persons
now under sentence of death in the parishes
of Lafayette and Plaquemines-one white
and one colored.

Christening a Yacht at Biloxi.

An interesting ceremony took place at
Biloxi on the thirty-frst ultimo, on the oc-
casion Of launching new race boat for the
coming regattas. The boat was to be christ
ened by the little fve-yea old daughter OF
that popular gentleman, Mr.. H. P. Bailey,
conductor on the New Orleans and Mobile
railroad.
All being ready. assisted by Mr.. w. T.
Harrison, railroad agent at Biloxi, the little
lady was placed on the boat, and, as bot
tie Of champagne was broken on the vessel,

waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies and
loud cheers from the gentlemen.
The party then retired to cool in the
pleasant shade where more champagne was
the order. Glasses being filled little Pearlie

Ladies and gentlemen-I have been re-
quested to name this beaut iful little boat.
Ihave christened her pea rlie.' and ow
consign her to her destin ed element with an
earnest prayer that she may ever be sue
cessful and do credit to her builders, and
honor to her captain and crew.
Afterward the company adjourned, all
appearing we'll pleasad. and every one sim
cerely wishing success through life to the
beautiful little "Pearlie,' and her beautiful
namesake. The Pearlie. unlike its god

Profitable Business for Women,

One of the most profitable as well as in
terestiDg kinds of business for. woman is
the care of bees. In recent agricultural
report it is stated that one lady bought four
hives for $40, and in five years she was
offered $500 tor her stock, and refused it
as not enough. In addition to this increase
of her capital, in one of these five years she
sold twenty-five hives and 420 pounds of
honey. 1t is also stated that in five years
one man. from six colonies of bees to start
with, cleared 5000 pounds of honey and fifty
four colonies.
When properly instructed, almost any
woman in the city, as easily as in the coun-
try, can manage bees, and make more profit
than in any other method demanding so
lit le time and labor. But in the modes
ordinarily practiced, few can make any
great profit in this employment.
1t is hoped time is at hand hen every
woman will be trained to some employm Mt
by which she can secure to herself an I'M de-
pendent home and means to support a
family, in case she does not marry or Is left
widow, with herself and family to sup
p0rt.--4merican Woman's Home.

The Mobile and Texas Railroad.

1t is always more pleasant to praise than
to blame. When corporation manifests a
disposition to accommodate its patrons and
give them the best possible equivalent for
the smallest sum of money, it becomes the
pleasant task of the press to accord full
need of praise.
The Mobile and Texas railroad, especially
in it's eastern division, is conducted in a
spirit of fairness and liberality that de-
serves commendation. For instance the
fare to Bay st. Louis and return on Sun
day excursions is only 81 rs. The fare to
other watering places and points an the
sound is at the same rate per mile.
Thousand mile ticke tsare sold at the rate
of three cents per mile, and family tickets,
good for ten trips to any given point, may
be bought at the rate of two and one half
cents per mile.

On Monday, the third of August, the po'
litlcal campaign of the season will fairly
open. On that day Kentucky will elect her
ten Representatives to the Forty fourth Con-
gress. This State is the stronghold of Dem
ccracy, and its members of the present Con-
gress are all Of that party. 1t is hardly to
be expected that Republican can be elect
cd in the State; if we are called upon to
announce such result Tuesday morning it
will be pleasant surprise.
On Thursday, the sixth instant, an election
of State Superintendent OF Education and
eight Congressman will be held IN North
Carolina. This State is now represented in
Congress by five Democrats and three Re-
publicans. The coming election will doubt
less be very close. In 1870 the Democrats
carried the State by about 1000 majority.
In 1872 the late Governor Caldwell, Re-
publican, was elected by small majority,
but the Legislature, elected >st the same
time, chose Mr.. Merrimon. the defeated
Democratic candidate, to the United States
Senate.

More White League Crime.

This time it is from G olfax, of bloody
memory, that comes the record of cold
blooded murder of innocent and unoffend-
ing men.
From gentleman of unimpeachable in
tegrity who has just arrived from Red river,
we learn the following facts:
A week ago, last Saturday, the twenty
fifth of July. a meeting composed of parties
from the surrounding parishes was held at
the courthouse at Colfax, for the purpose
of organizing the White League in that
section. The meeting was harangued by
Cazabat and others, the former delivering
an eloquent eulogy upon the late Captain
Hadnot, who was mortally wounded while
leading the gang of desperadoes in their as
sault upon the negroes in the courthouse on
the memorable Easter Sun day Of last year.
After transacting other business and Civ
ing cheers for the orator, for Associate JUS
tice Bradley of the Supreme Court. and Tor
"Sherif NASH" who was present and took
part in the proceedings. the meeting ad.
journed and the crowd dispersed.
Meantime some of the young men who were
present filed themselves with whisky. and
party of half dozen, composed Of John,
Luke and Gill Hadnot, Tyson, LacOur and
another, whose name our Informant did not
learn, mounted their hors es and started fol
home. The first named was one of the
party recently released under Judge Brad
leys decision. A little way outside OF
Colfax the party met two young colored boys
riding along the road on mules. The party
drew their pistols and comm enced firing al
the boys. One of them slipped from his
mule and escaped into a cane field. The
other-James Cox by name, about eighteen
years old-was riddled with bullets, and
one of the party dismounted and cut the
boys throat from ear to ear. 1t is supposed
this deed was performed by Gill Hadnot,
since, where the dead body was afterward
discovered, the scabbard of Gill HadnOt's
bowie knife was found beside the corpse.
The party then went to Cruikshank's e
house and ate supper. They started tor
home again. and coming to the cabin of an
old, gray-haired colored man named Rob-
erts, called him to bring them drink OF
water. The old man came out in pants and
shirt, bringing the water, when he was rid
died with bullets and his throat likewise
cut from ear to ear.
Information Of the crime coming to Ma
jor Allyn, commanding the United States
forces at Colfax, he sent a portion of his
command as posse with Deputy Sheriffs
Shelby and Moore, and captured two of the
alleged murderers-Luke Hadnot and the
young man named LacOur. The others
succeeded in eluding the soldiers, and made
their escape. The two parties arrested
were taken to camp, and at last accounts
were confnod in Major Allyn's guard
house.

Staub's News Stand.

We again have to thank Mr.. Charles
Staub, whose cheap news stand is at Gold
thwaite's bookstore, No. 69 Canal street,
for the favor of Northern, and Western pa
pers received in advance of the mail. His
energy and perseverance have established
for him fine business in the news line.
Selling cheaper than others, and keeping a
large variety of desirable periodicals con-
stantly on hand, it is not strange that he
should receive a large and increasing
patronage. Call on him for your Sunday
