IT is fortunate both for Russia and China
that at this critical moment their resolute
enemy, Yakoob Beg, is dead. The Muscovltes
will feel more at ease for their outposts III
Central Asia, while the Chinese will be at
liberty to resume their schemes for the con-
quest of Kashgar. That enterprise has so Tar
made slow progress, some of the Chinese
troops having waited to grow crops before
continuing their march TO Kashgar.

Sheriff Jones informs US that an at
tempt aras made to bring to justice
Ed. Coleman, who shot = Carey at
Dominique's Landing three weeks
since. An affidavit was made before
Justice Evans Of this ward and the
Sheriff took the warrant in person,
but after diligent search was unable
to discover the whereabouts of the
accused. Upon inquiry he learned
that Coleman had taken a horse from
one OF his neighbors on the Ballard
place the night following the shooting,
and had not since been seen or heard
of, it being uncertain even in what
direction he had gone. A rumor has
reached here that Carey died of his
wound shortly after reaching New
Orleans, but we have not been able
to trace the report to a reliable foun-
dation.

it is stated, will be participated in by
the Baton Rouge Zouayes and de-

Gov. Nichols and other eminent Wis
itors is also anticipated. The Can
Eoneers will display their new uni
forms upon. the occasion, and the
members of the Independent band
will likewise be uniformed. The eel
ebration will be looked forward to
with much interest by the people of

There are several lewd and aban-
doned colored women living on Cheti-
maches street, below Claiborne, whose
frequent disturbances of the peace
and public use of the most vile Ian
guage known to the blackguard's lex
icon, are becoming an intolerable
nuisance. An application of the REM
edy employed by the city authorities
of Baton Rouge would be the most
effective means of abrogating this
evil: that is, where ordinary penalties
fail to make such characters behave
themselves, they are given few
hours in which to leave town.

DISTRICT CoURT.-Judge Marks ar
rived home yesterday, the term of
District Court in st. James having
been concluded. Court will open here
Monday. The criminal docket is not
unusually heavy, but it contains some
important cases, principal among them
that of Wilson Childress, Fountain
Banks, Aaron Carter and Octave
Lauve, accused of the murder of Mar
cisse Arrieux; that of Charles May,
charged with setting fire to the resi-
dence of DR.. Legare in the night time,
and that of Hugh Miller, who shot
and killed Dee Vaughn in the eighth
ward. The latter is an old case, the
prisoner having been convicted with
out capital punishment, last year, but
granted a new trial. A charge of
murder is also pending against one
John Tolliver, but accused has fled
to parts unknown and will probably
never be seen here again.
The civil docket is larger than
usual, but we hear of disposition
among a majority of our local attor-
neys to have trial of all Except the
most pressing cases deferred until
next term, by which time they enter
tain hopes of having a Judge upon
the bench more congenial to their
personal and political tastes. For
similar reason, an attempt will prob
ably be made TO quash the jury panel
and thus prevent the trial of criminal
cases as we'll. A considerable amount
of feeling has been developed in the
prosecution of the suit involving the
eligibility of Judge Marks to the Office
of District Judge, and it will be a sore
disappointment to the counsel for
Judge Flagg if the Supreme Court
sustains the decision of Parish Judge
Maher.

If Donaldson had society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
it's attention would have been invited
to case which came under our notice
yesterday. A young bull being driven
to the slaughter. pen had been beaten

pletely obscured, to prevent it from
running off at the side streets and
giving the drivers little additional
trouble. Less cruel means might
have been employed to secure this
end quite as effectively.
