The Fourteenth Of September in
Court.
Court.
C. 7. Buddecke vs.. Z. A. Burke.
Answer of Major Burke.

Some days ago G. T. Buddecke, ESD, in
stituted suit against Major L. A. Burke for
the recovery of the value of quantity OF
powder, obtained, as alleged, from the store
Of the plaintiff Mr.. BuddeckeJ by the defend
ant Major Burke).
The following answer was fled by NJ ior
Burke, through his attorney, B. f. Jonas,
Esq, yesterday:
No. 4372-Flrst Justice Court-C T. Bud
decke VS.. T.. A, Burke-Answer.-N comes
E. A. Burke, herein cited as defendant, and
in answer to plaintiffs claim denies any and
all liability therefor.
Further answering, respondent says that
the powder for which plaintiff claims pay
mant was neither sold nor delivered TO res.
pendent, but was furnished, as plaintiff well
knew, upon the order of Hon. ID. &. Penn,
Acting Governor of Louisiana, for the use of
the militia of the State, then under arms in
defense of her liberties OF which order plsin-
tiff was we'll advised and informed.
Respondent further says that at the time
said powder was purchased for the use of the
State to wit, on the 18TH day Of September,
1874, the only existing and de facto govern
ment in the State o. Louisiana vas that Of
which Lieutenant Governor d. B. Penn was
TIC I/ArCutiNe, duu VI WulCu ILLS re-
spondent was an officer and agent, and that
the fact was fully known to, recognized and
believed by the plaintiff herein when the said
powder WAS delivered.
Respondent further says that on the said
14.h and 18th days of Septem Der, 1874 the
said Buddecke protested to be in sympa-
thy with the movement of the people
of Louisiana against the usurpation then
existing; that his sons were III the ranks
of the citizen soldiers. for whose safety
and defense this powder wa, furnished,
and that, at the same time, he never refused
to furnish ammunition for the support of a
cause to whose glorious success many of our
best citizens had contributed their life-blood.
Respondent further answers, that the pow
der SO purchased for the State OF Louisiana
was made into cartridges by her fair daugh-
ters, whose husbands, sons and brothers we're
in the field, and were surrendered with the
Liberties of Louisiana, on the 10th of Septem-
Der, 1874, to the commander of the Federal
forces in New Orleans; and respondent says
that he has good reason to believe that
the said cartridges we're delivered with
the said liberties CT vne people
of Louisiana, by order of President Grant,
into the keeping of one William P. Kellogg,
who will, doubtless, restore them to plaintiff
on his making respectful petition therefor,
and due proof of bis Loyalty to the so-calied
government of the said Wm. P. Kellogg
Wherefore, this respondent prays to be
hence dismissed with costs and tor general
relief. B. F. JONAS, Attorney.

A LITTLE Bill I>GS.GATE.

One Of the principal topics of conversation
around the Custom House just now is the
prospect of Billings pushing through his con-
frmation as United States District Judge, in
the Senate.
Some of his friends feel very sanguine and
one who, from his intimate connection with
Billings, was considered as speaking almost
e1 cathedra, stated that dispatch had been
received from Senator West announcing that
a close canvass of the Senate indicates that
the confirmation would 60 through by eight
votes.
Around the Marshals Office it was reported
another dispatch Was here setting forth that
Billings chances were exceedingly slim, and
his hopes had been quite effectually blasted.
A strong desire was expressed to have Gen.
Gibson's House bill 60 through, for this would
remedy the absence Of a District Judge. and
give Judge Woods the appointing power.

WIG Is PROFESSOR ANDERSON 1!
THAT DISAPPEARANCE IN ST. LOUIS.

Some time ago the BULLETIN published an
account Of the disappearance OF half-witted
boy, who was enticed away by a charlatan by
the name OF Anderson, lecturer on spiritual
ism, from the care of relatives, who reside at
No. 1929 State street. S. Louis, where he had
been placed by his father, MIR. Nicholas Ar.
thurs, OF this city.
The boy was seen in company with the
man Anderson on the 22i of June last, bv a
lady vino resided in the same house, 1920
State street. Mr.. Arthurs on receiving in
tellig ence of the disappearance of his boy.
immediately communicated with the Chief of
Police of st. Louis, and also sent photo
graph by which the unfortunate boy could be
Identified, and received from that official a
very unsatisfactory reply. Mr.. Arthurs has
frequently written since to the Chief of Po-
lice Of st. Louis, inquiring as to whether any
traces Of Anderson had been discovered, but
up to this date Mr. Arthurs has received no
intelligence of the whereabouts of either An
derson or the boy.
MIR. Arthurs is naturally very uneasy as to
thu whereabouts of his son. and states that he
fesls satisfied that if the boy had the opportu-
nifty he would Immediately communicate with
him.
1t would seem from the above facts that St.
Louis is afflicted with Chief Of Police that
does not clearly comprehend the duties of his
Office, and judging from his action in this
,se We are led to believe that information is
a. hard to obtain from the Chief Of Police Of
s. Louis as it is from the chiefs OF other cities
tlat We know of.

POLITICAL TALK.

There was considerable talk Monday morn
ing over the report that Gov Kellogg had
communicated with the authorities at Wash.
ington
IN REFERENCE TO TROOPS,
and had been informed in reply that he could
have all he wanted to quiet disturbances in
any of the parishes.
This report, Gov. Kellogg stated TO Bull
LET1N reporter, was without foundation. He
Said that he had not, since the meeting of
the Assembly, sen. anything to Washington
regarding troops, and that he had not received
anything from Washington in reference to
them.
1t Is, however, asserted on the outside that
Marshal Packard before leaving Washington
sent dispatch intimating that he had fixed
matters regarding United States soldiers, and
that all that were wanted could be had. Gov
ernor Kellogg said nothing about this.
The resolution of the Senate calling on the
Governor to send the militia to the parishes
of East and West Felicana, has not as yet
reached the Executive Office bu. it will prob
ably be presented TODAY.
The action of Gov. Kellogg in reference to
the matter can not he predicted.

A WILL ANNULLED.

Judge Tissot, of the Second District Court,
Monday morning rendered decision setting
aside and annulllng the will of the late James
Martin. The case presented an interesting
question, and the solution of it by the judge
was listened to by The bar with much atten-
ton.
1t appears Mr.. Martin called to his aid the
services OF notary, whom he desired to make
his will, and stated that he wanted nun
cupa,ive will, by public act, made out. :.
The notary, being busy, directed his clerk
to take down the b quests from MIR. Martin
just as he spoke them. and to make the Ian
guage verbatim. Accor iingy the clerk drew
up the will, and it was duly witnessed and
signed.
When contest under it arose, it was then
discovered that this fatal error had been made
for our law provides that the notary must take
the language OF the testator down, and only
the notary.
Judge Tissot, under the statute, was COM
PEELED to set the testament aside. and his judy
ment was in accordance therewith.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MATTER,
STATEMENT OF AN Observation-Disclosures
OF THE SHOOTING OF PERSON.

NATcHrroCHEs, Jan. II. 1875.
Editor n 0. Bulletin:
Having read in several papers some very
erroneous statements respecting the difficulty
between Messrs. J. H. Cosgrove and E. H.
Pierson, of NAtchitoches, and being present
on that occasion, 1t Is, perhaps, my duty for
the cause OF justice to present to the public
the true facts, that misrepresentation and
false impressions may stand corrected.
On the 25th of Decembe last, while on the
street, my attention Was arrested by. loud
conversation in front and near me- Directing
my attention thereto, l saw these gentlemen
standing near each other, Pierson with pis-
tol in his hand, Cosgrove at the same time
uncovering his bosom, telling Pierson to ''kiil
him If he wished, in open daylight" that
now was his best opportunity, and that 60 be
(Cosgrove) was unarmed."
l did not distinctly hear Persons reply,
but as we'll as l could understand, it was tor
Cosgrove to arm himself. Co grove said 81
will" at the same time stepping toward a
store door, and, as l suppose, for that pur-
pose. saw Pierson at that moment present
ing his pistol at Cosgrove, and firing at him
at distance of four or five feet, Cosgrove re-
treating in the store, Person pursuing. After
their entering the store, l could not See them,
but from the reports OF the pistol judged that
one only was firing for the first two or three
shots. After the third report (as well as 1 re-
member) heard return fire in immediate
succession, Cosgrove at the same instant
saying "He (Plerson) is running" Person
ran out OF the store, Cosgrove pursuing and
shooting at Pierson at distance of fifteen to
twenty-five yards. Pierson ran some three
hundred yards before he fell, C5sgrove being
about seventy-fi five yards behind him, stopping
pursuit Immediately at Persons fill.
During the pursuit, Cosgrove was fired at
by different parties, a. different places. This
Is the only appearance of q mob that l saw,
and II there was any premedlated attempt
at assassination the public can easily inter
from the foregoing fact. who was the intended
victim. Let this be connected with the fol-
lowing sequel: Pierson, some short time pre-
vious to this, said that he and Cosgrove could
not live in the same town; that he EXP ec.ed
to kill Cosgrove, ard in advance of consum-
mating his intention, had attem pied to retain
law firm in this place in his tefense, for
which he was, by that firm, properly aud
sternly rebuked An EYE WITNESS.

MYSTERIOUS.
A ROuStabOut Leaves the Steamboat Belle
Of Shreveport at Alferi's and Returns
to the Boat Shot.
He Dies Oh His Way to the City.

AS soon as the steamboat Belle of Shreve-
port landed at her wharf head of Canal
street, Capt. Rea Immediately repaired to the
Harbor Station and informed the officers in
charge that negro roustabout named Charles
Chambers, aged % years, and native of New
York, had died on board on Saturday evening
about o'clock.
The deceased was employed on the boat as
roustabout, and had been paid off at Alferl q
Landing, near Baton Rouge, on the morning
Of the 18th instant and had left the boat and
gone ashore.
Two white men, cabin passengers, who got
on board at Vlcksburg, and had paid their
passage at Baton Rouge, left the boat at the
same time and place as did the deceased.
In abo1t half an hour afterwards, as the
boat Was getting ready to push out the negro
came running down the bank. and asked the
Captain, who was standing on the hurricane
deck, to let him get on board, that he had
teen shot
Capt. Rea received him on board and i'm
medately insti uted inquiry from the man
how, when and where and by whom he was
shot. The man stated to the captain that one
of the two men that got off ths boat at the
same time that he did had shot him. He
said that before the man shot him he said to
him, "You pust have great deal of money
about you The deceased died the same
evening at 5 o'clock while the boat was on
her way to this city. 1t is not known whether
the two passengers who lett the boat had any
thing to do with the shooting of Chambers,
only from his statement.
The deceased returned to the boat with
every cent of the money that he had, and
therefore it could not have been done for the
purpose of robbery
