On Monday preliminary examina-
ton of the case of George Brown, ac-
cused of the murder of Anthony Will
Jams, was held before Judge Maher,
and accused was sent to the District
Court without benefit of bail. 1t was
shown by the evidence that Williams
was Jealous of Brown, and had quar-
relied with his wife on account OF
Browns visits to their house. The
woman left Williams and came to
Port Barrow, where both men visited
her. The evening of the murder,
Brown was in the house where the
woman was staying, when Williams
arrived. Brown left by the back way
unobserved, and went home, where, it
is presumed, he procured his rifle, re-
turned to McCall's gate and waylaid
his rival in the murderous manner al
ready described in the. CHIEF. Sew
eral witnesses testify to the dying
declaration of Williams that George
Brown had shot him.

There are twenty one prisoners in
the jail of Ascension parish, and the
Tailor informs us that they are with
out blankets to protect themselves
from the rigor of the wintry nights
now near at hand, while the credit of
the parish is at such low cub, owing
to the failure of the authorities to
provide for necessary contingent ex-
penses, that none of the merchants
will furnish the blankets and trust to
the tender and tardy mercies of the
Police Jury for payment sometime in
the dim, uncertain future. The Jury
has adjourned until January, but llu-
mainly demands that the inmates of
the parish Jail should be provided
with blankets, and it should be done
at once. even if special meeting of
the parochial Legislators be necessary
to the attainment of this object. We
give herewith list of the prisoners,
together with the nature of the crimes
and offenses for which they are incar-
cerated:
Hugh Miller, convicted of murder await
ing new trial.
Pierre Butler, convicted of murder, with
out capital punishment; awaiting decision
upon application for new trial.
Wilson Childress, Fountain Banks, Aaron
Carter, Octave Lauve and John Morris
Green, murder of Narcisse Arrieux; await
ing trial.
Thomas Ryan, murder of John Evans
awaiting examination and trial
George Brown, murder of Anthony Will
liams awaiting trial.
Albert Williams, murder in Assumption
parish.
Charles May, convicted of arson; await
ing new trial.
Alfred Guy, assault with pistol; Ellen
Burnside, assault with cotton hook Edward
Coleman, shooting with intent to kill Alex
Madison, burglary and larceny Henderson
Anderson, alias Jasper Gross, larceny, are
all awaiting trial.
Harvey johnson, killing horse; Aristide
Martin. larceny of dry goods; Charles Man
ming, larceny of oats Perry Grant, larceny

Our office was frightened on Tues
day by a visit from that estimable
gentleman, Mr.. John Reuss, a leading
planter of the first ward, who brought
us his annual present of basket OF
fine pecans, which was highly appre-
ciated. Mr.. Reuss recently returned
from q visit to the dear old Father
land across the water, where he had
fine time among the friends and
amid the scenes of former days. He
will probably begin grinding in a
week or ten days, but is not enthusi-
astic over the present condition of the
cane, which is very green and kept so
by the warm, wet weather.

ASCENSION PARISH, Oct. %, 1877.

ASCENSION PARISH, Oct. 25, 1877.
DEAR CHIEF:
Your issue of the Goth contains all article
in regard to small strike" which oc-
CURED among the laborers employed on one
of Mr.. j. Burnside's plantations in this par
ish. AS you stated, they had placed them
selves at great disadvantage, and it was
increase of wages. But, Monday last, Mr..
C. w. Ray, the manager of the Conway
plantation, was waited upon by delega-
ton of his laborers, demanding their wages
raised at once to one dollar per day and ra-
tions, and seventy-fve cents a watch (of
half mighty The result was, that instead
of obtaining more wages, they were all dis
charged-twenty in number-and made to
seek employment elsewhere,,s which was
readily found in the neighborhood, though
at the same prices paid by Mr.. Burnside,
namely: seventy-five cents per day and ra-
tions, and fifty cents for standing watch
half the night, the same wages paid them
last year.
l think that Mr.. Rays decisive action in
the matter will debar repetition of the
scheme.
The grinding season has begun. The Or
ange Grove mill commenced last Tuesday,
but after few hours run a leak was dis
covered in the boilers, which will cause a
delay of several days. The Clark place
made satisfactory start this morning.
Riverton, Conway and Donaldson will g get
off next Monday, followed by Messrs. Tu-
reaud, Bringier and Stevenson.
The planters are very blue at this contin-
ued rainfall. The cane which was blown
down so badly is quite green. very small
yield is expected from it until visited by sew
eral light frosts, followed by dry weather.
