THE Crooked whisky champions
against whom true bills have been
found, in the United States Circuit
Court, New Orleans, are having their
trials. In the mean time the Grand
Jury have balanced around to cotton
frauds, and have already found true
bills against several individuals,
among them the notorious R. H.
Shannon, ex-United States Commits
sioner, and well known here as blue
lightning against some of the boys in
the early days Of their prosecutions.
The charge against him is for de-
frauding the Government out of
100000 in cotton claim case. We
hope the old man will clear himself
and prove innocent of the serious
charge.

AGAIN has another negro been
shot, and that in our peaceful Elsa
vis Pineville. We don't mention it
to criminate the participants, but
merely to dot that the work goes
bravely on, and that cheapness of
human life is yet readily discounted.
The negro was not killed, thanks to
the mean pistol, but is recovering
and will yet live to face some other
revolver. The parties, two young
white men who are accused in con
nection with this affair, were arrested
by the Sheriff and had a preliminary
trial before Judge Daigre and were
placed under heavy bonds. As we
write one Of the parties has given a
good bond and is at liberty, the other
is yet remanded in Jail failing to Sc
cure bondsman.

tain John Helm, so we'll and favora-

popular steamboatmaD, has once
more yentured in our trade. He has
placed in it, and has under his COM
mand, the steamer Kate Kinney, a
good and immense carrier, with fine,
cabin accommodations, and though
sternwheeler, is one of the first class
in that line. We are assured by
Captain Helm that he has come to
his old home, among the people whom
he cherishes, with the intention of
remaining here, for good as the old
man himself tells it. He intends to
make weekly trips, arriving here
from New Orleans every Thursday

'Tae Bart. Able.

We havea weekly duty to perform
ITO our community, as well as to merit
'and enterprise, and return to it every
week with a pieasurable mood, and
feel convinced that the public never
tire on good theme. In this view
we repeat our oft written good tale
and repeat that the steamer Bart
Able, by far the best, finest and most
complete steamboat in the SoEthern
waters, outside of the Vicksbrg
trade, and sidewheeler at that, is
yet of US, with us and one of our per-
manent institutions. Though steam
boating, like everything else here
since the war, has degenerated and
fallen on evil times, still there are
bright exceptions to all rules, and
this exception VITA us is eur Packet,
under the command 'ofCaptain Dick
:Sinnott, fully and ably assisted by
his crew of competent officers, regu-
liar, punctual, fast; she stiH makes US
her weekly visits and her very whis-
tie seems to send as good greetings
and good cheer We all know that
opposition is the Fife of trade and the
spice of life, and that the sun shines
flor all, yet we should not forget our
friends and those who cling to us in
good as we'll as in dull times, but
stronger the fight against, them cling
to them as they have dang TO Us.
This Is the best part Of manly human
nature, and such is it's nobility that
it never strikes it's friends blow if
aimed to help its foes, but to the Bit
terend hags the old gum tree. We
cherish with faith this line of duty
and remembrance for our favorite,
and hope never to repreach the pub
lie that they have gone back on
