THE NEWTON CASE.
Statement of Speaker Estilette.

We have been called upon by Speaker Es-
| tilette, in reference to an article in the Bull
LETIN on the change of venue bill in the New
ton case, who made the following statement.
of which we cheerfally give him the benefit:
The bill, properly enrolled, was brought to
my office for my signature. After having
signed it, being informed that the bill had
| first passed the House at the session in Janu
| airy and the Senate at the extra session, I
| thought there might be some doubt about the
legality of the proceedings. and concluded to
| consult Attorney General Field on the sub
ject. He, first and foremost, expressed great
| objection to the passage of such q measure,
alleging that the law had provided ways and
means to obtain change of venue, and that
the Legislature should never enact such bills.
He advised me to retain the bill in my Office
until further investigation was had.
Not being willing to be responsible for
such paper and to lay myself open to the
accusation of pocketing bills, went to the
Governor and told him wished him either
to take charge of it or to tell me what he
thought I should do with it. Col. Field be-
ing present, again expressed his doubts as to
the legality of the measure, and his great OPP
position to the same. He said there was no
need of change of venue because he felt
certain that fair trial could be had here, and
that to transfer the case to the parish of St.
John the Baptist would virtually amount to
an acquittal, as the witnesses for the State
could not be had to attend the trial.
Mr.. Kellogg and he thought under the cir
cumstances it would be we'll for me to keep
the bill back for a full examination of the
matter. Just then received dispatch sum-
moning me to the bedside of my dying child.
1 Immediately left for home; while there re-
ceived communication from this city asking
me what had become of "the bill" On my
return here I madeit my business to relieve
myself at once of all responsibility by tender
ing the bill to the Governor He told me he
could not receive it in his office before it had
been sent to the Lieutenant Governor. At
once repaired to the Office of the Lieutenant
Governor and gave the bill to his secretury in
the presence Of witnesses.
l most emphatically deny that ever asked
or urged the Governor to sign the bill, for l
have been of the opinion at all times that the
Legislature ought never to pass such a measure;
that to do SO was travelling outside of its legiti
mate functions. Col Field has never changed
his opinion. In regard to Mr.. Tre zevant, the
article in your paper does the gentleman q
great injustice. He never interested himself
IN behalf of Newton. On the contrary, he
looked upon the bill as did-as an outrage.

A PAINFUL SCENE AT COURT.

About half-past 10 o'clock Friday morning
a lady leading little girl entered the Fifth
District Courtroom and took q seat in the
lobby. She was neatly dressed in black, and
quite pretty. After q while witnesses, jury
men, clerks, and then the Judge came in, and
the crier opened court.
A prominent attorney slipped forward and
read petition setting forth on the part OF the
husband that his wife had strayed from the
path OF virtue and had taken up her residence
in house of ill repute, and that she was not
the proper custodian of the little girl. He
went on to set forth that since the separa-
ton by mutual consent of the unhappy pair,
the little girl had been under the care of its
grandmother, but that a short time ago the
wife had taken it from Mobile and brought it
to this city.
A writ of habeas corpus was prayed for.
Judge Cullom took up the case and after
hearing witnesses decreed that the father was
the proper custodian Of the girl After the
Judgment had been rendered the mother still
held on to her offspring and walked out of
the stairway the father stopped her and said
to her that the Court had decided in his favor.
He took hold of the child when it commenced
to cry ''Mamma! mamma"
The mother retained some of her womanly
nature, as the fast falling tears showed. A
large crowd gathered, silent spectators of the
sad picture. At last, choking with emotion,
the father was prevailed upon to take the child
quickly from the mother, which he did, the
little one still crying for its mamma. One went
out of one gate, the other the other, and prob.
ably their course through life is divided for
ever.
Toe picture was impressive, and on some
rough cheeks there something like tears were
seen.

commenced shaking with great force, and
from all sides the people rushed to the streets.
For fifteen seconds the movement continued.
The city was moving like great ship with

shrouded streets and houses, impeding vision

and amid the impenetrable darkness the
groans OF the wounded filed the air, varied
only by sharp detonations proceeding from
explosive materials amid the ruins. The
coming Of new day showed that not more
than two thousand remained alive. Beneath
the fallen houses lay from eight to ten thou
sand dead. The letter also reports the de-
struction Of other places, as mentioned in the
account Of the earthquake by way of Panama
some two weeks ago.

POLITICAL NEWS.

DIES MONIES. June 25.-The Democratic
Convention platform adopted. included the
following declaration of principles: Absolute
prohibition of military interference with local
State elections and the peaceful assembling
and organization OF State Legislatures, except
in a manner clearly defined in the Constitu-
ton; all officers to be held to a rigid account
ability for the misuse OF public funds or for
the prostitution of their power for private use;
the reservation of all the legal rights to every
citizen without regard to race or color; the
reservation of the public lands for the benefit
of actual settlers; the restoration of the Presi-
Dental salary to s25, 900, and no third term;
the resumption of specie payment Is soon as
the same can be done without injury to
the business interests of the country, and
for the mes ntime q sufficient supply
of the national currency for business pur-
poses, and opposition to the present national
banking law; tariff on imports that will pro-
duce the largest amount of revenue with the
smallest amount of tax, and no imposition Of
duties for the benefit of manufacturers at the
expense of the agricultural interests; the re-
peal of the liquor prohibition law. and the
substitution Of license law to be strictly
enforced. The platform closes with the ar
raignment of the Republican party.

Buyers of gas pipe, boiler tubes, fittings,
ETC., will also find at Mr. Hills establishment
a full and complete stock of this class Of goods
from the well known works of Morris Tasker
4 Co., Philadelphia. This firm is making the
machinery for the first central mill, for manu-
featuring sugar by the diffusion process, and
are among the largest stockholders in said
company. After very careful and thorough
examination of the diffusion process, Morris
Tasker & Co. were willing to embark some
$4,000 in stock and machinery to assist in
developing the resources Of our State.
Mr. Hill represents these gentlemen, and
is prepared to give estimates for all kinds of
sugar machinery. either for the diffusion or
roller process.
We hail the diffusion process as the open
irg of new era in sugar making in our
State. Not only does this process guarantee
thirty or forty per cent more sugar from the
same amount of cane cultivated, but much
finer quality of sugar is obtained as rule.
The two industries, that of raising the cane
and making the sugar, must be divided. This
seems inevitable. By establishing central
mills all the good sugar lands in our State can
be brought under profitable cultivation. The
question will then be, chow many tons Of
cane do you expect to send to the mill this
season." and not show much sugar do You
expect to MAKE" Then small planters OF
cane will reap the same proportionate prom.
as the larger ones, and this will bring al COED
sugar lands under cultivation.
