1 Card from Judge Orsborn.

ALEXANDRIA, PARISH OF RApIDEs, La. }
May Is, 1875.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Ny attention has been called by the
sheriff OF the parish, Mr.. ID. C. Paul, to an
article in the New Orleans Republican Of
date May Is, 1875, under the head Of
Trouble in Rapides." I respectfully cali
your attention to certain part of said
article, to-wit: "rhe sheriff was there.
however, and did-nothing." This state
ment il not correct.
That, which occurred, in which I am
alluded to, did not take place at or near
the courthouse in this town, nor was the
sheriff at or near the place at which the
trouble occurred.
The sheriff was not aware of what took
place until he was afterwsrd informed of it.
The portion Of the article to which have
referred does Mr.. d. G. Paul an injustice.
As judge of the Ninth Judicial District
Court, I find Mr.. D. c. Paul, the sheriff Of
the parish of Rapides, faithful and efi-
Gent officer, ready to discharge with dis
patch the functions of his Office, and to
execute without delay all writs and war.
rants placed in his hands.
J. ORSBORN,
District Judge.

The Crops.

The Census boys; on this side o,
The river, have been their rounds
and since our last we have inter
viewed them, as well as many plant
ers, and are really rejoiced to write
down a few interesting facts of the
growing crop of our Parish. First
and foremost the laborers are far
better and under more rigid control
than 1 any time since the surrender,
md work with more zeal and indus
try titan ever before. Far more land
IS under cultivation, good cultivation,
both in cotton and corn, than any
previous year since the war, and the
earnestness and forced attention Civ.
en- to these alFaround are but harbin-
gers of a successful harvest. A finer,
better or more advanced corn crop
was never grown from the soil of Ra-
pides, and as for cotton it is all that
can be expected: We make these
few items in behalf Of our agricultu-
raj interests in no vain Boosting, but
simply as truthful incidents in the
march of that good garb which our
people have donned.

glance, mounted his horse and was
in Alexandria inside of four hours.
He saw the bond as given to his Dep
uty, had great doubts about it which
were so great that he crossed over the
river to the District Attorneys for
legal advice and instructions, which
on receiving he left here by 10 O clock
the same night with two trusty dep
uties, and by o'clock Monday was
at the residence of the accused and
again claimed him as his prisoner in
law. By o'clock P. NJ, of the same
day all were back here, and all this
fully vindicates D. c. Paul, the Sher-
if OF Rapides, of all aspersions, in
situations and doubts as to neglect
of duty. That duty has been per-
formed vigilantly, with discretion,
willingly and according to law. In
conclusion if blame is attached any,
where and we can but believe there
is much Of it somewhere none of it
in the least particular can be thrown
on Mr. Paul; throughout the whole
unfortunate proceeding, which none
regret more than him, his friends and
defenders, he acted with singularly
good sense, calm judgment and like
a gentleman. More could be said
favorably Of him in the matter, whilst
We can't now accord him less.

The Boston Belfry Horror.

We give large space this morning to the
details of the trial Of THOMAS w. PIPER,
nraigncd AT Boston for the shocking muir
dor OF MABEL YoUNG, the little girl five
years OLD who was brutality killed last May
In the bell tower Of tine Warren Avenue
Baptist Church Of that city.
II was impossible at the time of the oc-
ourrence of the crime TO discover any ade-
quate motive for 1t. 1t seemed simply an
instance OF unaccountable fendishness.
The little girl was apparently entiocd into
the belfry and there killed IN the most
brutal manner, merely for the sake OF the
butchery itself. The links connecting PIPER
