AN ASSIGN M EMIT.

We regret to learn that Mcssrs.
Durfee Il Pollard, wagon and car
riagc manufacturers, have been COM
PEELED to make an assignment to III IN
Egan and Sam Harper for the bene-
fit Of their creditors. This is one OF
the oldest and best establishments OF
the kind in the city, its proprietors
having had the entire confidence OF
our people.
We are inform cd that their effects
with time to make them available,
win be ample to pay their liabilities
in full.
The cause of their trouble arose
from the great difficulty to make col
lections, and the poor trade in their
line of late, owing to the two years OF
short crops which have happened to-
gether in this section.
It is understood that the assignees
will continue the business without in.
corruption for the benefit of the cred
itors, and that Mcssrs. Durfee & Pol
lard will have charge Of the shops
and general business, and that they
will use due diligence in realizing
from their outstanding effects and in
the prompt payment of their debts.
In the meantime they will have the
sympathy of the entire community
which will hope for their success in
speedily recovering from temporary
embarrassment.

FURTHER oUTRAGEs COMING TO LIGHT
WITNESSES ADVISED NOT TO LEAVE
NEW ORLEANS FOR THE PRESENT.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 30.-Thc Re-
publican witnesses subpnnaed to this
city are in great alarm. Gangs of
men await their return home to visit
vengeance upon them. Reports have
already arrived from several parish
es urging the witnesses to stay in New
Orleans, at least for the present. The
three white Ouachita men arrested as
the murdcrers of Eliza Pinkston's
husband and sent down to the Grim
inal Court, were at once released on
bail by the democratic Judge. The
Democratic committee secured bail
in $4,000 each. Messrs. Palmer and
Julian writhe at the outragcs still.
Their stubbornncss embarrasscs the
democrats. The Democratic Com
mittee are attacking Eliza Pinkston's
character before the Returning Board
to impair the force of her testimony.
Having almost wrecked her life, they
now vainly seek to destroy her name
as an honest women, as she is known
to be. Anew witness has just arrived

several citizens, has established the
fact and exposed the democratic in

gone for Tilden. Even democrats
laugh, and wonder how they know it.
1t is considered the joke of the season
on all sides. There are thirteen more
bank and insurance presidents and
thirty-onc more clergymen here
whose names, for significant reasons
are not signed. There is an under.
tone of menace which denotes trouble
upon the departure of northern visit

contempt for the 1000 troops now

Seemingly Strong Circ-m-tanti Evidence

Thomas J. Battell was put on trial YES
terday before Recorder Hackett for killing Mrs.

Mrs. Mary Freeman. at ALA Second avenue; that
on account of his dissip ltion he was asked to
seek other quarters, and that this so incensed
him that he. while under the influence OF liquor,
killed Ann Hammer, supposing her to be Mrs.
Freeman.
