A Terrible Riot at Freetown.

Las. evening two men called on Governor
Kellogg and told him story about rioter;
in Freetown and Gretna, how there were
hundreds of angry men on the streets, al
armed etc. The Governor sent the men tc
Superintendent Loan as the proper party te
act in the matter. Several policemen were
called in from their beats and prepared tc
take a hand in the troubles. They were
mustered az the barber station as speedily
aa possible, and when all was ready infor
nation was received that there had been no
riot, and no troQbie gre ater thar an ordi.
nary drunken brawi.
Later-S0oa after the first story was told
and the tale exploded, another dispatch
was received from the sixth precinct sta
ton, stating that quite number of persons
en- this side OF the river had gathered at the
head Of Jackson street, anxious to cross the
river to participate in the fight, and that a
policeman who had attempted to stop the
rush had been killed, but the report was
not confirmed.
On the second dispatch, received az TWEEN
ty.f7e minutes past Ei1e o'clock, from Cap
tain Rapp Algiers it was stated that there
had been a terrible row in Feitel's bar.

men, black and white. had been wounded.
Bells in Gretna were rung violently, evi.
IDENTIFY intended to attract the attention OF
people on this side of the river.
Al the stories circulated up to midnight
we're badly mixed, and Superintendent
Loan was some what undecided what course
to pursue.
The two men who made the first report
returned to the other bank, and on the
people learning what they had reported
were inclined to lynch them,
At midnight Superintendent Loan had
ordered large number of policemen to
proceed to the scene. and went over him
self with Captain Lawle-. The report was
that some men were killed and others badly
wounded.
Several residents in the disturoed neigh
borhood went to Algiers and furnished the
information concerning the trouble.
Freetown is about half way between Al.
giers and Gretaa, and olo-ed people are in
the majority,
a few minutes after one o'clock Captain
Flanagan arrested William Burns and Isaac
Stra.tou in Freetovn as participants in .le
affair. He learned that Barney McCabe
and JOHN Rousette were killed in Bauer's
grocery; Joat Rou.ette was badly wounded

The men arrested were lodged il the sixth

The report that a policeman had been
killed al the hea1 of Jackson street proved
incorrect,
The whole affair was caused BY bad
whisky and nothing elae. The police acted
promptly il the case and deserve praise for
their action.

When people speak of the vast establish.
mant of Mr.. Louis Grunewald, Baronne
street, near Canal, they are apt to suppose
that he keeps only the larger and more
expensive musical instruments, and the
most elaborate and high priced book and
sheet music. This is a great mistake. At
this store may be procured all sorts of small
instruments; flutes for one dollar, and ac-
cordeons, music boxes, harmonicums, ETC.,
at like low prices; pianos from $50 upward
to $1,000, and sheet and book music in end
less variety, from ten cent pieces to the
most elaborate and costly prod uctions of
the ancient and modern master composers.

obtaining public Endorsement of the re-
cent message OF Mayor Leeds TO the City
Council, wherein it is proposed to collect

the enormous salaries of the city officers q
about all they can afford to pay. Another
pertinent subjac: for discussion will be the
proposed aooisament of the exemption Of
church property from taxation. II indoTs,
ing the Mayors message and adopting tAe
resolutions that are to be presented, this
meeting is expected 70 condemn the presen t
policy OF protecting $50, 000, 900 OF property
and getting no tribute in return. If there
is any lack of e text for discussion the
meeting can take tie roof over its head as
an example.

From the Herald, December -:
We learn that an examination of Woods.
who shot Louis Branch, at Bayou des Ale
mands on the eleventh, was held during
the week by Justice Roberts, of the fourth
ward, and that from evidence ELECTED the
shooting was. in a manner. justifiable. 1t
seems that at the time Woods drew his
pistol. Branch was about to administer a
second kick upon the unprotected head of
the former, which might have resulted
fatally. The examination proved the act of
shooting to have been done in self defense,
and the accused was dismissed.

ment Of the Uuited States, went to Brazil,
where they intended permanently to reside.
They were, however, disappointed in
their hopes, and soon expressed desire to
return to their native land, many of them
being in actnal distress. Our Government
on being informed of their condition, offered
to them free passage on board of naval YES

In pursuance of the offer, twenty-four of
them returned to New York in 1871. Since
that time others have reached this country
