A Brutal Murder.

Wednesday morning about ten O'Clock q
cold blOOded murder was committed upon
the plantation Of Mr.. Richard Esterbrook,
in ST. James parish, the murderer being q
mulattO about twenty two years Of age, and
the victim q black man of fifty.five years,
who leaves large family in the parish of
st. Charles. The two men, whose names
we have been unable to learn, were en-
ployed by Mr.. L. ". Dodge, of this town,
az wood choppers on the Esterbrook place,
where that gentleman 10 getting ont wood
to supply the railroad They were chop
ping on the same tree, some distance away
from the other workmen, when the younger
mao approached his companion from be-
hind and struck him 8 heavy blow on the
back of the head with an AZ, making .
ghastly wound, in which the az was
sticking when the body was discov
cred shortly after the killing. The muir
derer mounted his victims horse, which
was picketed near by, and rode
rapidly away to the river road, and thence
up the river toward Donsldsonville. Az
soon ~ the crime was discovered, the over
seer started on horseback in pursuit of the
criminal, whom he overlook and captured
three or four miles above the scene of tho
killing. The perpetrstor Of this foul deed
was lodged In the st. James jail. 1t was
the stolen horse and saddle, Offering the
former for $40, and the latter for seventy.
Eve cents, and it is supposed that his sole
motive in committing tho murder was to
obtain possession Of this paltry property.
Since the shove was in type We have as-
that the murderer gives the name
Of Charley Hill, and his victim was known
among his fellow workmen only BY his first
name, Jin-DoaaldsonsjNc Chief

Longstreee.


We have once or twice cited the melan-
choly case of General Longstreet, who has
been persecuted into premature old age
by his brethren of the South for accepting
reconstruction and cooperating with the
Republicans, as demonstrating the hollow
ness OF the cOnciliatOry professions of his
prosecutors. To those who have complained
that the dominant party has been lacking
in conciliatOry advances to the leading
men OF the South, Q sufficient answer is
that all advances Of that kind have been
taken as an insult by Southerners, and that
any Southerner who may have seemed in
clined to receive them in the spirit that
prompted them has been hated and perez
cnted in the South worse than the Yankees
themselves. As confederation of this We
quote the following in regard to General
Lengstreet's political position from the
Richmond Euquirer:
"Toucbing this same reconstruction rec
ord, General LOngstreet has been sadly mis-
understood. He joined number of other
Confederate Generals in an early movement
in the way Of reconciliation and an oblivion
OF all past difficulties. The movement
proved unpopular, and the other Generals
withdrew. General Longstreet thought it
was right and went ahead, and attef while
he was forced by Ostrscism into the Repub-
!iean party. This is the head and front of
LIE
This is confession that General Long
streets first off.nse consisted, not in acting
with the Republican party, but simply in
accepting the inevitable after his defeat,
and refusing to join with the other leaders
OF the South in their sullen and sulky re-
fueal to participate in the restoration of
civil lnetltutiOns-a course which charac-
terized the rebel whites for several years
after tho war. While thus themselves re.
fusing to assist in restoring the overturned
Of their States, they pursued
with bitter hatred those who were willing
to set up the forms Of government. The
result Of it was. in General Longstreet's
case, % foreshadowed above, that in order
to aid his distressed South, he was obliged
to cooperate with the only men who pro-
posed to do anything for its improvement,
namely, the Republicans. And for that he
has been thus pursued, and 10 today in like
manner hated By the South.-Bm0alo En-

an evening edition at three cents per copy,
and thus describes some of the experiences

Of that paper that change in cOppers would

After careful search of the town, We were

quences that it carries. 1t is our opinion
that . people that recognizes NO piece of

what true thriftiness and economy mean.
For years We have been eDjoining the peo-
pie TO the use of pennies and the various
fractions of the nickel. We have now de-
termined to purchase and bring here large
number of pennies with which all the Herald
newsboys will be supplied, and with which
they will make change when Q nickel 10
