ton would be light, but from information re-
ceived it il evident that the Native American
party will endeavor to make as large registra-
ton as possible, and IL possible commence oper-
atoms az party by nominating q candidate and
by endeavor1ng to get him into the State Senate.
Ia State House circles it is considered that in
the event Of such move several independent
candidates will wade ii on their own hook, which,

After had given him the money asked him
70 show me his commission; he showed me q
commission issued to Powell Williams by Com-
missioner Tompkins. Regardless of his COM
mission, WAS satisfied he was q swindler, but
gave hun the money, for the reason that about
year ago instructions were issued from the
authorities at the Custom House to tobacco deal
ers to the effect that shond parties they supposed
to be swindlers call on them TO enforce the
revenue laws to give them little money, as it
would guarantee their conviction. Yesterday

After several suggestions Col. ZachaFie stated
that 30 far as the license system was concerned,
from the data he had already received. there
was perfect willingness on the part OF the
authorities to exempt in the futnre market

The Assassin waits for His Victim Be
hind Coal Pile.
Notwithstanding all the efforts of the peace
officers, there now and then crops out bloody
crime In the country parishes, even In times Of
most profound quietude. On Wednesday last,
about quarter past 10 O'Clock at night, there
was perpetrated one OF the most cold and das-
tardly murders that has been chronieled for
some time past. One Bruno Herrera, q negro Of
Cuban birth, is said for some time past to have
had intimate relations with the wife OF another
negro, named Manuel Herrera, on the Stella plan

rear Of coal pile on the .levee. Bruno mad MD
den behind this coal heap sndwhen his victim 4,
approached, he shot him down in his tracks, the
unfortunate man living not more
THAN THREE MINUTES.
Bruno was apprehended and arrested the next
day and incarcerated in Jail on the charge OF
murder. On the preliminary trial before the
Justice of the peace A. J. Dickson, the evidence
was sufficient to hold the prisoner, who was re-
manded to await trial before the district court.
On Thursday evening Bruno Herrera, whilst in
Jail. requested to be allowed to 60 out moment
before the court had adjourned, and during this
moment he, through the aid OF friends, managed
to cut the cor &c binding his arms there being 10
handouts there. Two women and four men
aided the prisoner, and with dash he escaped,
Iaeaving no clue behind him.
l The murderer is about feet inches In height,
25 TO 80 years OF age, fatnosed, and with full,
laprojecting forehead. He speaks Spanish fuently,
and has about him papers showing his Mexican

Sergeant Gribert telegraphed Col. Boylan last
evening that he had just stopped large con-
course of people from tearing up the track
and plank road which extends on Caron delet
street from Toledano to Napoleon Avenue.
In appears some person called meeting in the
neighborhood, and on making q speech stated
that he had the contract to tear up that road and
il his listeners would help him he would start the
work then and there.
They all pitched in, and the road was fast be-
ing destroyed when the police ordered them to
stop.
Administrator McOaffrey, on being informed
of what was transpiring, ordered the police,
through Chief Boylan, to dispense the crowd, ii
they could, in q gentle way.
Il appears this road has been an eye sore to the
residents on upper Oarondeles street for long
while, and they petitioned the City Council to
have it torn up, but as that body took no imme-
date steps in the premises the residents took
the matter in hand them selves.
