THE ASSASSINATION IN ST.
HELENA.

Our readers will doubtless remember the
cold-blooded murder Of that popular and tai
ented young gentleman, James Clinton, Esq,
in the parish Of st. Helena. His body was
found shockingiy mutilated in the woods, and
all traces of the murderers lost. Below we
publish a letter from the parish which will be
read with interest here:
GREENsBURG, La, Dec. "a, 1874.
T. Il. Jones, Esq.
Dear Friend The inquisition in the case OF
the assassination of J. w. Clinton is still in
session. taking testimony, and developments
are being made, which, think, will establish
guilt upon the proper parties. Our parish is
in great excitement about the outrageous and
cold-blooded tradegy, and as soon as the per-
petrators are found out swift, meritorious and
lust punishment will be visited upon them.
James Clinton was loved and respected by
both white and black, and all now, without
regard to race or color, are ready to make an
example of his assassin that shall long be re-
membered by all malefactors.
Yours, fraternally, ETC., J. NJ. WRIGHT.

An instructive list of the causes Of many
fires occurring in public institutions or bust
meas establishments has recently been pub
lished in the Engineering journal. Churches
and lecture rooms are said to be endangered
by hot air, hot water, steam pipes. furnaces
and stoves. or by decorations placed too near
gas-fittines, fires or lights. In some trades,
lime Stacked by rain, spontaneous ignition,
sparks from iues and furnaces, sawdust, o,
sweepings and oil, spontaneous heating Of
iron turnings when mixed with water and oil
are said to frequently cause fires. In othel
trades danger is incurred by such habits a.
working late and falling asleep or becoming
careless near fires and lights, hanging good
on lines, smoking tobacco, dropping matches
etc. The causes Of fire in barns and stables
are described as stacking hay while green
sparks from passing locomotives. sticking
candles against walls and timbers in barn
ana stables, etc. It is evident that an in
crease of carefulness in the everyday habit
Of the mass of mankind would lead to tn
prevention Of mary fires.

MONDAY, THE 18th.
Significance OF the Returning Boards
Action in Returning Members
to the House.

Speculation is rife as to what Monday, the
4th of January, will bring forth. 1t will be
an suspicious day, one on which, IN the action
to be taken touching our political affairs.
depends much relating to the welfare OF
Louisiana. The Returning Board, unwilling
to burden itself with the responsibility OF re-
turning to the House Republican quorum,
in face of the fact that the Conservatives were
entitled to majority of not less than twenty
nine, yet went SO far as to return as elected
tifty-four Republicans to ifty-two Democrats,
two less than a quorum for the former.
Four parishes were then referred to the
Legislature, that the claims of the several
candidates might be determined by that body,
the board thereby virtually announcing that
the opposing parties might scramble for the
advantage.
The advantage, however, had been given to
the Republicans, as will be observed by the
returns made and further advantage has
been given by Anderson and Wells, who cal
culated to a nicely upon the support, in case
of an emergency, Of several who are named
as Conservatives
The selection Of Speaker of the House is
all-important, as with him rests the appoint
ment of the Committee on Credentials, who
will determine all contested cases. With a
membership Of 81, as returned by the Board,
they feel confident that it is an advantage
| which can be successfully used to coerce the
Conservatives into certain measures of COM
promise, as they will urge upon the latter the
fact that among them are several shaky men,
bers who are pledged not to support measures
of aggression against the de facto govern
ment.
Kellogg is evidently anxious for a compro
mise, and there is no doubt whatever that
Wells and Anderson had instructions to ad.
just the membership SO that the advantage IN
favor of the Republicans could be used in
these compromise measures.
Kellogg is quite reluctant, not only from his
own cowardly nature, but in pursuance OF in
structions from Washington, to invade the
State-House with q quorum of illegally re-
turned Republicans, for he imagine'
such an event would be attended with some
unpleasantness, and the Government, just a
this iuncture, is not at all inclined to resor
to the use Of troops hence this move to effect
some sort Of compromise.
What they mean by compromise is not ye
lucidly explained, but it doubtless implies {
pledge to let the election Of 1872 be deter
mined by Congress alone.

Miss Lillian ADELAIDE Lee Neillson, who was
engaged to play two weeks engagement at
the St. Charles Theater, suddenly left at 5
o'clock this morning. on the Mobile and Ohio
train for New York, leaving behind her. her
maid and the agent Of Strakosh, Mr.. Lloyd.
and taking with her Mr.. J. H. Barnes, her
support and leading man.
SO sudden was her departure that her best
friends were astonished, and are utterly una
BILE to account for this abrupt departure from
New Orleans. That she would have had a
cordial support in this city, and that she
ought to have complied with her engagement
cannot be denied.
There is much gossip about the matter and
Madam Rumor is wagging all her tongues al
once, and the whisperings are many and
audible. 4..
Since writing the above, We have been in
formed by Mr.. Lloyd that Miss Nelson was
compelled to leave the city on account OF
sudden attack Of Illness which necessitated
her consulting her physician in New York
Attention is called to the card in another col
umu.

A WOMAN SHOOTS ANOTHER ON MAG.
AZINE STREET.

About half-past II o'clock yesterday
difficulty occurred in the yard OF house NO.
$50 Magazine street, between Notre Dame
and Girod, occupied by some twenty faml-
lies, white and black, without regard to race
or color between colOred woman named
Emma Williams, who had stolen clothes
line, and Mr. and Mrs. Latano, who had
been robbed Of the valuable property,
which caused general row between
whites and blacks in the yard, and
in which Mr.. Latano and his wife Resale
were badly beaten, when the latter repaired
to her room on the ground floor and brought
out two large-sized navy revolvers. She inn
mediately handed one to her husband and
kept the other herself, until they made an
other attack in about five minutes after, when
she fired and struck Emma Williams in the
left side, inficting dangerous, if not mortal
wound, when both fled.
The husband, on gaining the street, jumped
into a Magazine car, but was captured by
citizens. who arrested him and brought him
to the First Precinct Station, where, on
being searched, large revolver was found
concealed on his person. The wife did not
take the cars, but broke down Magazine
street as hard as she could tear, creating the
utmost excitement with her weapon in her
hand, and threatening to kill any one that
would dare lay their hand upon her.
Despite her threats, she was stopped by
some three or four parties, who she manage Ito
get away with, and on two different occasions
snapped the trigger, which fortunately did
not 90 off, and on arriving at Canal street,
with her pistol in hand, she ran down the
Second District side of the street, followed by
some two thousand people, who We're unable
to stop her,.
| On getting to the corner OF Burgundy
street. she made for low house at the corner
of Customhouse, where she entered and hid
herself away. In moving down Canal street
to Burgundy, she actually cleaned the ban
quette and everything before her.
Sergeant Slabowski on learning OF he'
whereabouts Immediately entered the pre-
misses and succeeded in bringing her to jai
from her hiding place where she at last gave
up and walked along amicably. We have
never before witnessed such an excitement
on the streets of New Orleans as this ont
woman caused this morning.

The Republicans in Indiana propose to
throw out two Democratic Senators, and to
admit Republicans in their places, upon this
plea: Two years ago there were two vacan-
cies and Republicans were elected to fill them
for the unexpired term. This year Democrats
were elected for the full term in tuose dis
tricts. Now the Republican contestants have
the impudence to insist that they have sue
ceeded to rights which their principals could
not have claimed. The Stiffness Of such a
doctrine is established by the legal prin ciple
that a man cannot obtain through another
rights which the other did not himself pos.
sess. The case is too plain for argument. A
man chosen for vacancy can only act fol-
that time.

"CATCHING A BOB"
From the Detroit Free Press.]

Yesterday afternoon when Mrs, Blame, OF
Fifth street. asked the doctor if her boy
Samuel would live, the doctor looked very
serious and replied:
"He may, and if he does he will know more
than ever before"
samuel is aged thirteen, and since the snow
came he has been engaged in catching a
bob" as the farmers call it when they jump
on to farmers sleigh. He was over on
Fourth street yesterday, when farmers team
came along with hay-Iack, and Samuel TOOK a
seat on the "binder." He rode q short dis
lance and then let 60 and stepped into the
coils Of q rope dragging behind, and before
he knew what was up he was dragging along
through the slush. He gave an awful yell as
he realized his situation, but the farmer lost
his hearing years ago, and sat on his seat as
stiff as q Cardiff giant, while the horses
ambled along at an even pace.
..Whoop Hay Say you Oh murder Z
yelled Samuel, as the slush ran up his panta-
looms and his back was raked on the knobby
street. but the farmer was thinking OF home,
sweet home, and he didn't reply. "1ou,
there! Whoop! Hi! Ho! ERASMUS and
blazes!" roared Samuel, as he slid on his

The farmer drove up Fourth to Lacrosse,
and then went west. and there wasn't hub
or a pond Of water that Samuel Blaine dldn I
find. Sometimes he was on his back, and
then he would glide for awhile 'tother side
up, and he kept up yelling which made
people run to the windows. Some boys OBJ
served his situation, but they thought it was

was thinking Of grave on the hillside, ane

farmer nodded his head and kept on. Finally
as he turned into Eighth street and headed
for Michigan Avenue, he looked around

There are no indications of a falling of in
the national production Of precious metals.
The gold product Of the United States since
1s47 has been 81, $40, $50, 900. OF this amount
$685., sOO, 600, or nearly three-fourths, came
from California alone. The mining Of silver
in this country is comparatively new indus
try. Prior to 1858 the annual product was
only about $4,000 In 1861 it had grown to
$4,000, 900; since then it has rapidly aug
mented, till in 1873 it reached S35, 75O, O0O-
