l,opED CONSERVATIVE CLUB.-An ad

FMetr o. president, called q meeting of
narrative colored club, whatever that
be, to meet in Exposition Hall last

to remain couple of years on account

b,t here it may be mentioned that when
be Abell sentenced Alexander tho court
krked, evidently not posted as to the
rits political standing: ~ will give you
years in the Penitentiary to enhance
chances in your party for seat in the

rtsr was determined to take it in, and
he saw that the hall was dark he
i the doors, and succeeded in srousing
|portsr, who declared that, so far as he
h, the hall had not been engaged for
purpose. A few minutes afterward
. dozen persons appeared, only one of
/ being q Conservative. He was not
bssted to leave the street, city, State or
United States, but his dim shadow soon
Ippeared in the depths of Girod street.
Snge as it may seem the advertisement
ouneed that the meeting was called ts
l to Mr.. Pinchbsck to leave this city and
Ss-why or wherefore is unknown. For
unexplained reason there was no
! ting, and the st. Charles street sinner
ov called on to clear up the mystery.

A sheriff Killed for DischarGing His
Deputy.
The following remarkable statement sp-
pears as q special dispatch from Yazoo in
the jackson Times of the twenty.sixth in
slant:
The courthouse this morning was the
scene of another unprovoked and foul mur-
der. Mr.. Charles E, Fswn took possession
of the sherif7s office, yesterday morning,
having made the necessary arrangements
with Sheriff Morgan and the people, and
discharged j. T. Russell, who had been act
ing deputy for Morgan. This incensed the
son of the discharged deputy, young man
about twenty three years Of age, and re-
Gently married. 1t is said that Mr.. Eawn
received yesterday, q note, telling him if
he valued his lite to keep out of the sheriff's
office. This morning, about nine O'Clock,
young Russell went to the Office and called
Mr.. Fawn out. He walked out, taking
Russell by the firm, when he suddenly
turned and shot Fawn through the head,
over the lett eye, making CHASTITY wound,
and producing death in few minutes. Mr..
Fawn fell near the spot where poor billiard
fell in January, 1874. The murder has
caused considerable feeling here. Mr.. Fawn
was looked upon as q moderate Republican;
he was highly esteemed by our people, and
was extensively engaged in business. His
death is universally deplOred.

LiN ANuoIoNs
From the Tyiune, October %:
The Democracy held a mass meeting at
Port Vincent, October 81, and denounced
the government and the majority of the
Legislature for yielding to it, and Endorsed
Representative George D. Wells and the
call for a convention. Fourteen delegates
and parish central committee were
elected.
A slight frost has occurred.
DR.. William E. Samples, of st. Louis,
young physician of much ability, died on
the nineteenth instant under peculiar cir
cumstauces. He had been i'll some days,
and the apparent condition of his mind
caused him to be carefully watched. The
attendant left him few moments, and he
left his bed, leaped from his window twenty
feet from the ground, and wandered to the
riuer. Some hours after he was found, ut
terly exhausted and nearly frozen. Taken
back to his room, he died in a few hours.
ASCENSION.
From the Donaldsonville Chief, October
90:
A thief chloroformed Mr.. Ferdinand Ro-
deilliat in his house on the night of the
nineteenth, and stole $25 from his panta-
looms.
The Phoenix Fire Company have accented
the invitation of the Washington Hook and
Ladder Company, of Algiers, to participate
in their sixteenth anniversary.
Bayou Lafourche is NO longer navigable
fer steamers and freight is transported by
tlatboats.
The years corn crop has been q very
large one, and nearly every farmer has
raised more corn than he will need for home
use. Especially has this been the case in
the New river district, where the corn cribs
are all overlooking for the first time in many
years. The cotton crop of this region is
also turning out much better than was an.
ticipated just after the spell of bad
weather that inflicted such serious injury
to the staple, and many farmers that ex-
pected but half q crop are realizing two.
thirds or over. Potatoes and rice have
turned out we'll, and everybody in the
neighborhood of which we speak will be
ensuing year, which is great comfort to a
people, many of whom have been pinched
for the necessaries of life on account of the
failure of their crops last year.
