THE DELANEY-MrEvOY CASE.

Tho reflections made in Saturday morning 3
DEMOCRAT concerning the escape OF Delaney, the
murderer of McEvoy, shouldered, as was proper,
the primary responsibility on the police authori-
ties whose duty il IL to arrest criminals that they
may be brought to punishment. The affair dat
ing from 1871 and being OF long standing, IL is
very possible that our present police should not
be in default. Capt. Thos. 0'Neil, of the Fifth
Precinct. in an interview had yesterday with q
DEMOCRAT reporter, made the following state
ment:
About the I'd OF August received orders from
the Chief of Police, with bis Aid McDonogb, to
arrest one Delaney for the killing OF one McEvoY.
We searched the District and dill everything in
our power to get him. but failed to fud him. We
were tod by several people that he had left the
evening before. 1t must have been known pre-
vous to the time that we went in search Of
Delaney, for Sanitary Officer Charbonnet spoke to
several parties, stating that the police were out
after Delaney and had been examining for the
papers in the case. Every cxertion has been
used to capture the man, but 90 far as know he
has not been in the city since We received orders
to take him.
Aid McDonogh corroborates the above state
ment, with the exception Of that part Of it refer
ring to Sanitary Officer Oharbonnet, about whom
he knows nothing.
Whatever has been the reason that has mill
tated in favor of Deaney's escape, 1t is now the
duty Of our police authorities to use all their en-
deavors to secure the arrest of the murderer.

What He Has To say of the Condition of

What He Has To say of the Condition of
Our Northern Mails.
We had the pleasure yesterday OF greeting in
our Office our friend, Col r. Upper, just returned
to the city frnm the Southern Postal Convention
held at Old Point Comfort.
We need not say, except for the pleasure of
doing 80, that Col. Upper has been an energetic
and able representative of New Orleans in the
convention. In conversation with him we learned
that he had ascertained that the Northern mails
for this city could reach here
SEVERAL HOURS EARLIER
than they do, and that the improvement could be
accomplished quite easily. The mails from New
York are carried over the Kennesaw route. the
Piedmont Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line
and arrive at Montgomery, Ala, at $40 D. m. and
are delayed until 10 p. M, waiting for the North
and South road, via Cincinnati and Louisville, by
which they are sent to New Orleans. This delay,
Col. Topper was informed by Mr. Tyler, the su-
perintendent of the Mobile and Montgomery
Railroad, could be avoided by his road taking up
the mails Immediately upon their arrival at Mont
gomery, and without waiting the arrival of the
train OF the North and South railroad

O'Clock in the morning.

propose to give grand military entertainment

During the day the entertainment will be free

will be most select, and ladies' invitations will
have to be secured from the members Of the COM

Few Facts and SurImises.
The Auditorial Investigating Committee met
last night at No. 81 Csrondelet street. Present
Senator Steven, chairman, and Messrs. Leeds
and Aldige.
Mr.. F. N. sholtz, late chief clerk in the Au-
dtor's Office, was
THE ONLY WITNESS EXAMINED,
his testimony bearing particularly upon the rou-
tine work of the office during his employment,
and bearing also upon points in connection with
the removal Of the records. Rumor has it that
in this matter tho testimony elected from some
of the other clerks cannot be made to ''consist "
and as they were once offered an opportunity OF
correcting their testimony, it is not probable that
they will have the same opportunity again.
The committee is now in possession Of evil
dence corroboratlve Of that given by some OF the
policemen who carr ed out the boxes and trunk,
and even know exactly what records and docu-
ments were packed up
TO BE sMUGGLRD AWAY,
and az the evidence ia conclusive that these docu-
ments, or large portion of them. were placed IN
the hands of Unt1d States official, 1t may be
possible tnat the oitee will r. fully re-
quest the United States government to see that
the documents are returned.

with what accuracy from ninety.five to one hum
dred and ten grains of Hazard powder will
throw fifty- five grain bullet into

This being the last practice match prior to the
departure of the team for Creedmoor, it ia ex-
peced that they will "draw" quito well, and that
Frogmoor will zee larger attendance than on
any day since the competition began for places
on the team
AZ the Inter State match at Creedmoor will be
the sensation whom it occurs, and as our team
are 81 able to get away from there with high
honors, il behooves those who desire to under
stand the Creedmoor scores, when telegraphed
here, to attend to-day and get an idea Of long
range shoot &, customs, position in firing, man
ner OF marking, ETC., that they may better under
stand the reports from Creedmoor.
