game ofense, was then taken up, Judge Spence,
solicitor Of the Post Once Department, uniting
with the District Attorney in conducting the

Mr.. Kettle testified that Kinds was familiar
with all the methods used to obtain the contracts

used and that false stamps had been made and
placed upon the bids: Kinds suggested the mode
In which the matter should be worked; the false
stamp was used BY Kinds in room 100, Metro
politan hotel, and also at the residence Of Mr..
Kinds, on Rhode Island avenue, near Fourteenth
street southwest; he believed that some thirty
contracts were stamped as opened, when in fhct
none Of them had been opened ct all; Kinds knew

clerks and for like purposes; Kinds told witness
be was Interested in all the bids.

had been in Texas some time; was married man;
was married in Detroit. The stamp was made by
an engraYer on Pennsylvania avenue, and cost
81 50; Channel did not know that the stamp vas
false, and he told Kinds Il was genuine stamp
of the Post Once Department.

CONTINENTAL GUARDS ALI WHO are over
twenty-five years old and who have been
raised in New Orleans, will remember corps
of volunteer soldiery known as the "Conti-
nentals." They wore the full dress uniform
of the soldiers of Washington, true to history
in all its details, with the single exception of
hair in powder and braided queus. Lard
two ounces and -four three ounces were issued
as a regular Sunday morning ration to the
entire army when practicable, for the purpose
of amounting and powdering their heads foy
dress parade Our "Continentals made a
gay and gallant company, always having ex-
cellent music, and usually winding up day
of drill and parade with a supper or a recep-
ton.
The corps was composed of some of the
most noted and popular men in New Orleans,
among whom we remember Lumsden, Labu-
z,n, George Clark, William Hodgkins, Leefe,
Todd, Walter Merriam, Montgomery, Bos-
worth, j. L. Warner, John G. Fleming, Col.
Stith, Sam G. ayes. and many others who have
since fallen. Some SD and many pleasant
memories will be revived by the reorganza-
ton of this distinguished and honorable body
of citiz an soldiery, which takes place this
evening according to the notice which will be
found in another column.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE nURDER.

CONCORD Oct. 5.-A man named Drew has
been arrested at Pembroke for the outrage and
murder of the young girl A mob is besieg-
ing the station-house where Drew is confined.
The head of the murdered girl was discovered
. hundred yards from where the body was
found.
CONCORD, Oct 5.-The search for the head
of the Longmade girl at Pembroke was re-
newed this morning, and resulted in its being
found about one hundred rods from where
the body was discovered. 1t was enveloped
in shawl, which the girl had worn. One
ear was gone, the face blackened and bruised,
and one side of the skull broken in. In the
edge of the woods was found stake, broken
in two places, with which she had evidently
been struck and afterwards dragged into the
woods, where the head was severed from.he
body.
The officers at Suncook, q mile and half
from the scene of the tragedy, to-day arrested
man named Bill Drew, who lives about a
half mile from where the murder was COM
mitted, and whose movements were very sus-
picious. The most intense excitement pre-
vailed when his arrest became known A
great crowd gathered about the station where
he was confined, and, but for the determine.
ton Of the officers, he would doubtless have
been lynched.

DRIVEN TO DEATH.
Suicide of an Old Citizen.
A. Catonnet, Shoots Himself.

Since Monday morning Mr.. A. Catonnet,
an old, well-known and highly respected cit
izen, has been missing, and fears were enter
tanned that, weary of the cares and trials of
this life, he had closed the record.
The anxiety was we'll founded, as Mr.. Ca
tonnet committed suicide in the parish of st.
Bernard Tuesday morning, at about O'Clock,
by shooting himself in the left side Just be-.
low the nipple, the ball penetrating the
heart.
The Coroner held an inquest, and the Jury
returned verdict that the deceased came to
his death by shooting himself
The body was brought to the Fifth Precinct
Station and was from thence conveyed to the
residence, No. 1913 Customhouse street, from
which place the funeral will take place today
Mr.. Catonnet was about seventy-one years of
age. He left France at the age of nineteen
years, and came to this country and first set
wards left and went to Mobile, where he re-
sided for some time, and in 1851 he came
with J. Creesno q Co. to this city, where he
established himself as broker and where he
has resided since that time.
At one time Mr.. Catonnet was "well to
do" He had of this worlds goods sufficient
to carry him to the end, but adversely over
took him, and disaster followed disaster, and
he was wrecked. On the body of Mr.. Cation
net was found the following letter, addressed
to his old friend j. Wolkart, Esq, an old
and well-known merchant of this city:
New ORLEANS, Sept 80, 1875.

THE ELECTION LAW.
What Does 1t Mean 3!
Nobody Knows Where 1t Is.

The BULLETIN called the attention of the
public few days ago to the mysterious and
ominous quiet in Radical circles about the
election law, and gave Acting Governor An
tones ideas on the matter. In order to still
further probe the affair of it's smothering, a
representative of this paper called upon the
Secretary of State, and asked him what he
knew about it.
AZ have never seen the bill, said he; "and
1 know but little about it. remember an
election law was passed over the Governor
veto amending the old law, but it has never
been placed in my hands The law as you
know requires the clerk of the House in
which bill originates to send it to me as
Secretary Of State, if it pass over veto, that
it may be promulgated, but I have never re-
ceived this election law. Where it is, I can
not say, as I can only know when it reaches
me that it has been passed regularly. 1t
should have been presented long ere this, if it
was to become law, but who is the delin-
quent it is impossible for me to say"
The above is all that is necessary to show
that there has been some hocus pocus in the
Executive Department with regard to this
bill. That there is some underhand move
ment to impose on the people is most appa-
rent, and at this late day will not be sub
mitted to. A law which takes the entire su-
pervision of elections from the parish police
juries, and places it under the supreme con-
troll OF supervisor appointed by the Cover
nor, is of too much Importance to be thus
treated in this dark-lantern manner. The
matter deserves prompt attention.

AN END TO POVERTY BY THE
ROPE.
An Old Man Hangs Himself.

At Z o'clock Tuesday evening" Mr.. Charles
Denree, aged 6S years, committed suicide by
hanging himself at the residence of Mr. Ban
Yin Joseph, corner of Canal and Dupre streets
AS soon as the report reached the Central Sta
ton BULLETIN reporter started for the scene
of the tragedy.
Dupre street is narrow cut beyond the
Canal street car station, and the only means
of access for pedestrians is by narrow plank
walk which leads to the lowly little house in
which the deed was committed.
Our reporter, cropping his way through
the darkness, arrived at the spot and knock
ed at the fence, but at first was only answered
by the unearthly barking of several ours.
faint CLEAN of light was discernible through
the crevices of the hut, and our reporter 3
heart was made glad when he heard an earth
ly sound in the shape of a mans voice, who
demanded what we desired.
Our mission was briefly stated, when the
gentleman, Mr. Banzin, ushered as into a
diapidated looking room, which was lighted
by single Pickering tallow dip. The room
was of most peculiar construction, having
lower floor and place that may, by strain,
be termed a second story. The access to this
attic is by means of ladder extending to q
square hole cut into the upper tioor.
Across this hole was placed a stick, which
the suicide had placed there with the deter
min alton of perpetrating his intent The
unfortunate was suspended by small rope,
one end of which was attached to the stick
and the other formed into moose around his
neck. From appearances, he must haW as
cended this novel stairway, placed the rope
around his neck and then jumped off,
Our reporter inquired of Mr.. Banzin some
fhinn of Mr. nonroasS 1ifo tha of
his action. Mr.. Banzin said, I have known
the gentleman for some years. In 1872 he
went in company with beautiful young wife
to France. At that time he was we'll to do in
the world, but his wife, seeing that he was be-
coming old, squandered the little that he had
left, and then deserted him.
Mr.. Denree then returned to America PEN
niless and went into the poor house; after
this he left, and was employed as wagon
driver by the Asylum of the Little Sisters of
the Poor; not fancying this life he left the
situation and embarked in the profession of &
gardener, but got along poorly; his many
troubles seemed to prey upon his mind and
give him great deal of trouble.
For the past four months he has
been employed as gardener at Nelson's gar
den, Metairie Ridge, at the salary of SIS per
month, but failed to receive his pay. This,
added to his other troubles, brought about
severe sickness, when he was sent to the
Charity Hospital, which he left eight days
ago, and took up his abode with Mr.. Banzin,
as above stated but always complaining of
his poverty and troubles.
Mr.. B. says that he went out yesterday
evening and when he returned looked around
or Denree and not finding him struck a
light, when, to his horror, he discovered him
cold in death to his self-made |
l. L.
having always been a sober man of good
habits.
