TIE NEW KU.KLUX CASE.
Arraignment of the Prisoners
from Baton Rouge.

Tee Grand Jury of the United States Cir
cult, Court having found indictments against
Messrs E. W. Willis, W. G. Randolph, VIM.
Gar;g, John A. Dougherty, G. K. David, D..
j. v. Dupre, Andrew Jackson, John McVea,
John Fisher. A. H. Lamon, of Baton Rouge,
a deputy Marshal, was dispatched Saturday
WITH the capiases for the parties, and Sunday
returned with the above prisoners.
The Indictment grew out of the late meet
ing held in the city Of Baton Rouge, at which
the resignation OF judge George P. Davis was
demanded by the people. Davis, it seems,
has been acting as clerk for the Deputy Col
lec.or of Internal Revenue there, and as he
concluded to leave the parish after refusing to
comply with the request of the people, he
appeared before the Grand Jury and invoked
the following statute section 55l8 of the
United States Revised Statutes
eff two or more persons in any State or
Territory conspire to prevent by force, in
timidation or threat any person from accept
ing or holding any Office, trust or place of
confidence under the United States, or from dis
charging any duties thereof, or to induce by
like means any officer of the United States
to leave any State, district or place where his
duties as an officer are required to be per-
formed, or to iDjure him in his person or
property on account of his lawful discharge
Of the duties of his Office shall be
punished by fine of not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000, or by imprisonment, with
or withouthard labor, not less than six months
nor more than six years, or by both fine and
imprisonment"
Davis claims that the action of the citizens
drove him from Baton Rouge, notwithstand.
ing the fact that he was guaranteed freedom
from molestation.

appeared in court with their counsel, Messrs.
Marr and New, and entered q plea of not
guilty.

$4,000 each: a
John H. Lamop, surety Chas. A. Conrad.
John Dougherty, surety Jos. w. Dougherty.
Wm Garig, surety Jos. w. Dougherty.
Andrew jackson, surety Ferd Marks.
G. X. David, surety Capt. John B. Brown.
James McVea, surety Isaac H. Stauffer.
By agreement with the District Attorney,
the others were given time until Tuesday
merning to furnish sureties.
G. K. David, surety JOS. J. Brown.
VIM. G. Randolph, surety John I. Adams.
DR.. John w. Dupre, surety Abraham L.vy.

MARINE DISASTER.
Loss Of the Ship Magdala.
Four Men Drowned.

On the morning of the 18th inst, the ship
Magdala, of 797 tons burden, commanded by
Capt William Wiles, bound from Liverpool,
for Ship Island, went ashore on one Of the
Chandelier Islands. The wind was blowing
hard, the sea running very high, and the
ship was soon thrown on her broadside and
rapidly filed with water.
Capt Wiles and the crew, numbering sew
enteen men, were forced to take to the rig.
ging in which perilous.position they remained
for twelve hours, the great waves rolling ip
upon them and threatening every moment to
dislodge then. The gallant fellows clung
maufully to the ropes and spars until IL
o'clock Saturday night, when the Captain per-
ceiving that the ship was rapidly breaking
up resolved to take to the boats, two of
which had escaped the fury Of the storm.
1t was most hazardous undertaking to get
the men into the boats, for the gale was at
its height and the darkness was intense, only
relieved now and then by vivid flashes Of
lightning. After much trouble this was ac-
complished and they started for the land, one
boat with the captain and ten men, and the
other with the mate and six men.
The distance to be accomplished was only
ee-quarters of mile, but the surf was SO
heavy that it seemed almost impossible for q
small boat to live in it, and it was only be-
cause it was dernier resort that the trip was
undertaken. The Captains boat passed
through safely, but the other one was
swamped, drowning the mate and three men.
The remainder of the boats crew-three
men-were fortunate enough to reach the
shore. The name of the mate was James
Morrison.
Capt Wiles, with men, remained on the
island until last Saturday, and reports that he
was Hospitality treated by the f,hermen of
those. parts, and by the people of the light
house, nine miles distant from his place of
refuge. The Magdala, which was fine ship,
is total wreck. The captain reached the
city this morning by the Mobile train.

The Good Work of the American
District Telegraph Company.
What Electricity Did for Those Employ.
ing it.

The introduction even in our private
residences ofthe telegraph system has already
proved Of great benefit to our public, and the
satisfaction Of knowing that the household
have at their beckon, at a moments Rotice,
the police of our city, has done much to re-
lieve our citizens from uneasiness when away
from home. The two incidents published
below show this fully:
Sunday evening, between s and o'clock
while the family living at 223 Magazine street
we're engaged in pleasant conversation, they
we're disturbed by the children up stairs civ
ing an alarm and averring that they had
essayed to enter one of the bed chambers,
but noting the presence of the children made
hasty exit.
The alarm was telegraphed to the central
station of the American District Telegraph
Company, and was Immediately responded to
by the company's officer, who, after q strict
search found no trace of the burglar.
Again, during Monday afternoon the car
riage and horse of John Henderson, Esq,
was standing in front of Nine Loquet's lnsti-
tute, on Prytania street, when the horse
became frightened and rushed off. After an
unsuccessful search Mr. Henderson turned
in a call from his business office, which was
promptly answered by the messenger, who
returned in fifteen minutes with an answer
that the horse and harness had been found at
the Sixth Precinct Station and turned over
to the driver; the buggy smashed up, how
ever.
These little facts go far to evidence the
many benefits to accrue from the use of the
new District Telegraph and add to the already
long list of good deeds it has already wrought.
We commend it to our citizens, especially
those residing in the Garden, District for the
females left at home alone.

lnefe Is trouble IN the ranks OF the faithful
in Iberville parish, and two of the prominent
colored men of the party-Allain and Des-
londe-are
against each other. The trouble grows out of
the fact that Allain wants to go to Congress
at the next election and so does Deslonde.
Iberville is Deslonde's own parish, but AL
lain has come forward and rallied under bis
standard large and formidable number of
the rank and file There was a battle on
Monday at the meeting of the Parish Commit
tee. Allain won, carrying with him fourteen
out of the twenty-four members present.
Deslonde is mad but not disheartened, and
will continue the campaign.
There is current
AT THE STATE HOUSE
rumor to the effect that there is to be
change in the Office of State Supervisor of
Registration; that Capt. Wright retires and B.
Bloomfield comes in. The report is credited,
and the hackers of Tom Anderson are very
happy over it, as they regard it as an appoint
ment in favor of their man.
The friends of the other candidates do not
Ike 1t, as they look upon 1t IN the same light,
and talk considerably about the fact that one
of the sons Of Tom Anderson is partner of
Bloomfield.

q salary Of S45OO, and who, in addition, en-
joys free quarters, free fuel, and the privilege
of purchasing his groceries and provisions
at cost price from the Subsistence Depart

there is evidence that he is man of extrava-

army is not kept up as a refuge for spend

in debt. and especially to be always so deeply
in debt that for thirty-seven years he has been

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Man Almost Crushed to Death
Between the Guards of
two Steamboats,.

A serious accident occurred Wednesday
evening, which would probably have termi-
mated in man named w. Fl. Cullen being
crushed to death but for the timely assistance
rendered by Off ,ers DAILY and Ford of the
Harbor Police. Cullen got between the guards
of the steamboats, Charles Morgan and Lucy
Kern while the Morgan was backing out from
her landing, head Of Poydras street, and was
accideally caught and crushed between the
two beats.
The officers above named witnessed the
affair and ran to the spot. and the moment
the boat moved pulled the unfortunate man
out from between the guards. he was
placed in cab and conveyed to the Charity
Hospital, where his injuries were examined
and pronounced to be of dangerous nature.
Cullen is thirty-one years old and native Of
Louisville, Kentucky.

The pigeon shooting being one of the Chief

of anxious spectators, who seemed deeply
interested in the contest.
The other attractions seemed to please the
many pleasure seekers, and all seemed to
enter into them with vim. This fair has
proved the most successful of any of previous
years, and the Fair Grounds are daily en-
livened by people OF all classes, whe seen ed
determined to throw aside ell worldly caress,
and to have frolic in the suburbs.
To-day the sports will be quite numerous,

THE JErTIEs.

Throughout the Mississippi Valley, and
particularly here in New Orleans. there is the
greatest interest felt in the success of the
grand project of Capt Esds to render the
Mississippi River accessible at all times to the
largest class of vessels The enterprise was
novel one as far as this continent is considered,
and many scientific men here and elsewhere
entertained serious doubts as to its practical
bility. It was we'll known that the jetty sys-
lem had been successfully adopted in Europe,
but the general impression with those who
had lived for years on the banks Of the great
river, and Witnessed its cratic and turbulent
course, was that the science or ingenuity of
man could never control or subdue it so as
to render the unruly stream effectually sub
sefvient to the requirements of commerce.
We rejoice to learn that the Efforts being
made to open the South Pass have thus far
proved most encouraging, and that so we'll
satisfied is Capt. Eads with the progress made,
that on the 4th inst. Russian thres-masted
vessel, loaded with Gotten, and drawing thir.
teen feet, will be carried over the South Pass
Bar-the All of March being the anniversary
Of the pas sage Of the Eads act by the Uni.
ted States Congress.
The delegates to the Immigration Conven-
ton, on the invitation of Capt Eads, will
leave this morning for the jetties on a tour of
examination, by the steamer Martha. which
takes her departure at 10 o'clock. The Cap
tain, in his private yacht, will lead the way.
