Tuesday morning.

remark in a street car few days ago, that

Quite compliment from a Northern visitor.
don't you think so?
Judge E. North Cullom, in an open
letter to friend, announces his willingness
to be placed in nomination by the people for
Governor, but prefers the appointment to the
office of Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court that being within his profession.
We understand that one of our native
dramatists is busily engaged writing a new
drama, especially adapted to the well-known
abilities of Col. Robt. Strong of our city, who
will assume the leading role. The play will
consist Of eleven acts, with long intermissions,
and will be entitled Hot-Scotch," or "The
Comforting Draught." 1t is understood that
our Jolly friend, "P. Co." will assume the
"double" required in the cast to imperson-
ate at times the hero; while on tho stage
"P. G." will tell what he knows about firta-
ton and trout fishing.
-. The people of this city have only one
represen tative on the, Board of Metropolitan
Police. By the terms of the law the Admin
istrator of Police is made member of the
Police Board, and the public naturally look
to the present Administrator, Mr.. Mccarthy,
to do whatever may be in his power to abate
such evils as necessarily come under his OBJ
serva.ion in the Board. Ia the attempt on
the part of Commissioner Ryan to abate the
nuisance of bunco, Mr.. Mccarthy may rem
der valuable assistance, both by his vote and
by lending ccuntenance to the movement.
There was a noticeable absence Of bum
co men on the streets on Thursday, but
they have only disappeared for sea-
son. Unless the ak is laid at the
root of the trouble they will be out
again in few days as bold and defiant as
ever. The movement of merchants to rid the
city of the nuisance should go on; it will bea,
good fruits

POLITICAL TALK.

THE TROUBLE IN THE PoIs1CE BOARD
was generally discussed Tuesday morning,
and the general opinion was that the matter
would result in the decapitation Of Superin-
tendent Loan and the breaking up of bunko.
The House committee to examine the affairs
of the police have had one meeting and have
got some evidence which points to more.
A BULLETIN reporter endeavored to see
Gov Kellogg, for the purpose OF obtaining
his opinion regarding the trouble, but 1t Was
evident that the Governor did not wish to
have any conversation with the BULLETIN re-
porter, or any other reporter, and 1t is stated
that he will await the return Of Marshal Pack
ard before he moves in the matter, or before
he gives any opinion regarding the fight
Superintendent Loan was at the State
House on Tuesday morning, but did not see
the Governor, as that official was not In.
II is reliably reported that Gen. A. S. Bad
ger, former Chief of Police, will be rein
stated, and will receive his commission in a
few days.
In a day or two
will be introduced by Mr.. Hansacker, calling
on Congress to pass bill authorizing the
appointment of q commission OF assessors TO
fix the value of Southern lands, and authOriz-
ing loan of ten per cent on the assessed
value, secured by mortgage, to the owner OF
the land, at two or two and half per cent

payment Of the national debt
| THE CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS
assembled at about II o'clock, and proceeded
to consider the apportionment matter, but nc
definite action was decided upon.
the fact that all, or at least large major,
ity, OF the bills of
THE PROPERTY HOLDERS UNION
are introduced into the Legislature by Repub
licans, is exciting considerable comment, ane
there are many questions as to what agree
ment was entered into between the commit
tee appointed just previous to the meeting o
the Legislature by the Republican Caucus
and the Property Holders Union.

THE DEATH SENTENCE.
Geo. Norris Condemned to Die.

Geo. Morris was brought before the bar Of
the Superior Criminal Court Tuesday morn
ing, for the purpose of having his death SEN
tence pronounced upon him.
Morris came up to the bar whistlipg and
laughing. At first he took look at the
spectators. and afterwards faced his Honor.
The Judge said:
George. you have been convicted for the
murder of Sarah Jones. You pleaded guilty
twice, and l insisted that your case so before
twelve citizens of your country. The jury
that sat in the jury box during your trial
were intelligent men.
Now, George Morris, have you ANYTHING to
say why the sentence Of the law should not be
passed upon you!
He then rose, and in clear voice, with a
smile on his face, spoke as follows:
agree with you, and l am now prepared
10 receive the full extent OF the law, which l
know is death.
Judge Steele then sympathized with Nor
ris, and recited a few apprecalive remarks,
telling him that if he wanted to go to heaven
the only thing for him to do was to repair i'm
mediately to his cell, and there to pray. He
said:
Under the law and evidence in this case
am compelled to sentence you to be hung b,
the neck until dead, ut any place and TINS
the Governor Of the State of louisiana may
deem tit.
The brute took it coolly and thanked hi
Honor for the kindness he had CONFER et
upon him by pronouncing the sentence 0
death upon him.

A Case for Investigation.
An Alleged Confidence Game.

There was a rumor around town Tuesday
that the Chinaman, Joachim Florence. who
was arrested on Monday, charged with the
murder of his wife, had been robbed by a
couple of petty lawyers, (O who hang around
the Second Municipal Polics Court, out OF
the rumor, repaired to the Parish Prison,
where he saw the Chinamap, and obtained
the following through an interpreter, named
Anatoli Jaque.:
When l was arrested my money was taken
from me at the police station; afterwards
was taken into court Before going into
court saw the clerk court the money; 1t was
$50. When l got into court two lawyers
named ---a and ---- came up to me
and told me they would attend to my case.
After my case was over they made me make
mark on piece OF paper with some wiring
on it, was again locked up in the station.
was looking out Of the cell, and | saw the
LAWYERS come out OF the office with the money
and divideit.
Rsporter-How much money did you have
altogether?
Answer Five hundred and ten dollars with
me, and left Sl50 at my house to bury the
woman.
r. What paper was this you signed?
A. don't know.
L. Did you ever employ the lawyers?
A. No, sir; my countrymen told me not to.
because intended to plead guilty.
The interpreter then said, "Joachla says
can you do anything in the way of getting
his money back" Oar reporter said he
would do what he could.
The reporter then asked, How much money
did you get when you left the Police Station
A. The clerk gave me $50.
From the above it would appear that the
Station clerk or the lawyers ~ got the differ
ence between $50, taken from the person OF
the Chinaman, and the $50 re urned, which
difference amounts to $3.50, and it would be
of interest to the public to know which OF
the parties implicated did got it.
If the clerk turned over the money to the
lawyers (?) he must have the paper on which
he delivered it, and this document might bt
entertaining if produced.
Another question which should be investi
gated is, what became of the money left by
the murderer around the body of his victim
and in the room in which she lay? He say
he left it to bury her, but it isvery doub:
full that it was all expended for her obsequies

PRICE-FIVE CENTS.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the Centennial appropriation.

The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the Centennial appropriation.
MIR. Waddell, of North Carolina, said that
he had been an unwavering supporter OF ap-
propr ations for this Centennial Exhibition
ever since it had been first projected. If it
were supposed that the irritating discussion
Of last week would have driven South
.rn men away from the support Of
this measure, he sincerely trusted that the re-
suit OF The vote would only add another illus
tratlon of the many already given of how
utterly impossible it is for some people to I'M
derstand and appreciate the spirit that ami
mates other people.
He and his associates acquitted their North
ern brethren of all the responsibility of that
discussion. They had understood iully-for
it was trsnsparent-the motive which under
lay the Introduction of that subject, and
attaching to that motive its exact value, they
simply looked down and passed by the whole
subject; they would treat that lamentable
chapter in American history Noah's sons
had done in the hour Of their fathers humil-
iation; they would avert their looks, and with
backward step cast the mantle Of oblivion
over it.
They wished the dis:urbers OF the public
peace to understand that Notwithstanding the
spirit exhibited they were too good patriots,
and too sincere men, to allow that spirit
either to control them or to serve as an e1-
ample for them. They wished to maintain
the honor and character of the American
| Union, and they would do it if they were
allowed. One element in the House had not
| been heard from in that discussion, the
element of the Southern soldiers in the late
! war, of whom he was one.
They had sat in silence and taken the fire
which the gentleman from Maine (Bialne) had
opened on them, with no other feeling than
that of gratitude for having escaped from SO
terrible an enemy az he (Blaine) must have
been during the battles Of the late war.
Lauehte Ii now when that gentleman's
nair was silvering, and his natural force per-
ceptibly abating, he could develope such in
tensity Of spirit, how must his plume have
waven in the forepart of that conflict which
had occurred at o time when he (Biaine) was
young, and strong, and healthy. Laughter.
That element has not yet spoken; 1t could
not be goaded into the discussion. On the
contrary, it had exhibited a spirit which he
believed the American people would not soon
forget. II had met q storm Of hate and perse-
culiOn as the swan meets the pillows with
breast of down. He knew some gentlemen
who had been engaged i'll the same cause
with him had not Intended to vote for the
measure before that discussion but who now
intended to support it, 80 as to set an exam
pie of patriotism.
II there were any of them who still OPP
posed this bill he appealed to them to unite
| with him in doing an act which could
only promote the honor. and advance the IN
terests of the country ana the peace and hap
piness Of the people.
Without taking action the committee rose,
and the House adjourned.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL in the Senate Thur
man presented the credentials Off. b. Eustis,
claiming seat as Senator from Louisiana,
and asked that they be referred to the Com
mittes on Privileges. After some discussion
the matter was laid over until tomorrow.
Banks's amnesty bill excepts Mr. Davis,
though Banks himself will vote to strike the
exception out.
The theory is that the bill cannot pass I'M
less Republicans are allowed to record them
selves on the subject, but that the bill will
pass after exceptions are stricken out IL
cannot pass with the restriction. 1t is only a
means of securing two thirds for clean
amnesty. -.
In the House the judiciary Committee re-
ported amendment 10 the Constitution limit
ing Presidential term to four years and
persons who have held or may hold the Office
ineligible. 1t was made the special order for
Tuesday. The retroactive feature can only
apply to Grant, he being the only survivor.
WASHINGTON Jan. 18.-Responding to the
call from the Senate, the Commissioners of
the Freedman's Bank furnished the following
statement of their operations since the assets
of the said company were transferred to them.
Their report shows balances still due on loans
amounting to ST. 96O, S72. exclusive OF the ac-
crued interest on the unpaid loans, ana GER
tain expenses connected with the said loans
of which plus sl57, 744. being the balance to
their credit in the United States Treasury,
constitute the remaining undistributed assets
of the company.
OF the latter amount, however, 1928, $50 is
necessary to cover the balance due on the first
dividend SO far as the company's indebted
ness has been ascertaned. They say 1t would
be useless to estimate the amount to be ultl-
mately realized from the assets considering
the cost of suits brought to recover money
loaned and the deterioration OF property they
have been compelled to buy in, etc. The
actual cash receipts on hand aggregate SSH
