He Failed to Find n Live Bulld0zer, btlt
is Treated with Marked t2) Respect.
Bureh returned to the city on Saturday night,
and reports that instead Of being bulldozed OF
butchered, as some OF his friends said he would
be when he left, he was treated
WITH THE GREATEST COURTESY
by both whites and blacks Of Baton Rouge, and
not word was said that was the least discourte-
GUS to him. His statement, and that made by
Duls, when that individual returned to the city
from his postoffice raid, does not seem to tally,
and it was the impression in Custom House
circles yesterday, even with those who
had credited Dulas story, that those
who started the 'coffin" yarn for Dula must have
taken lessons from or been instructed in the art
~ by Kellogg.
Burch says that instead Of being mistreated, as
he expected he would be, he was urged to remain.
even after he had decided to return to the city,
and did stay there contrary to the advice OF some
of his political advisers.

CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.
An Unfaithful Clerk ApprOprfates t
Money Of His Employer.

Money of His Employer.
At o'clock on Saturday evening Aid McDonogh
arrested, at the corner Of Camp and Calliope
streets, man named W. T. Clayton, and locked
him up in the Central Station,
Clayton was wanted for breach of trust and
embezzlement Of $500 in currency, the charge
having been preferred against him by D. l.. Ran
lett & Co.
1t appears that for some months past Clayton
had been employed by D. L. Ranlett Co. as
salesman and collector, and while occupying this
position he violated the trust reposed in him,
and robbed his employers of s4G0.
The game that he played was not a shrewd one,
for it only required very short time for his
crime to be discovered.
Clayton, it appears, would go to various firms
indebted to his firm, collect the money, appro-
pirate il, and then return to his employers and
state that the firms which h. went to had received
heavy drafts on that day which they were forced
TO nav. and we're unable to settle with him.
On the day that Claytons crime was discovered
he went to the firm of Jones Il Co. and collected
the money due his firm.
On returning to his employers he told the same
old story. The bookkeeper of the firm, who hap
pened to be pas sing Jones Il Co.'S store. stopped
10 and inquired when the firm would be able to
settle. -
The bookkeeper was very much astonished on
being informed that Jones 81 Co. had paid Mr..
Clayton that very day.
These facts we're reported to D. L. Ranlett Il
Co.. who investigated Clavtons collections and
found that he had collected $500 which he had
not accounted for. Clayton Was confronted with

THE SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION,
why the Republicans Nominated mo- Tick.
ct I'm Charleston County.
IN. Y Trihnna

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Three promin-
ent South Carolina Republican polite
ians are in town: Customs Collector
Worthington, Of Charleston, ex-Con-
troller General Dunn and Internal Rev
enue Collector Brayton, of Columbia.
They say that the Republicans in
Charleston nominated a compromise
ticket on which they put ten leading
business men, who were Democrats, and
only seven of their own party. Ali the
Democrats declined. Afterwards the
Democratic Convention made UP q
ticket of fourteen white Democrats and
three colored men.
The Republicans then gave up all
action and allowed the election to go by
default. It appears that Mr.. Bowen,
who runs the Republican party in
Charleston county, found that NOBODY
was willing to contribute money to
make campaign, and concluded that
the best course was to let the Demo-
Gratis have their own way. The negroes,
as rule, did not vote at all. Mr.. Dunn
says that the Democratic delegation
elected is a good one, the members
being conservative men, who will coun-
terbalance the extreme Bourbons from
the up country who shaped to a great
extent the legislation Of last session.

A Court Change.

The Recorders Court Of the Second District is
holding it's sessions in the Superior Criminal
Courtroom, the old building being in process Of
repair now. The rag-tag and bobtail that usu-
ally hung about the lobby of the court followed it
up town, and as usual there was rough crowd
present.
One Of the incidents Of the morning was the
"tweepl tweep" heard throughout the court
room, and in few minutes an officer came in
bearing three large cages and some fifty mockipg
birds.
Under the game law the vendors Of these birds
were charged with violating section Of the
statute, and they were arrested and the birds
brought into court. The young ones chirruped
in the face of justice, whilst the older birds
whistled defiance to the law.
The Judge. after hearing the case. concluded
that IL did not come under the provisions of the
statute.

what One Of the ex-Auditor's Clerks Says
About Them.
The Auditorial COMMITTEES will meet at O'Clock

In the same connection Ii 10 stated that the
books, IL found, will show some Of

A statement is made also that the consolidated

WELLS IN A QUANDARY,

His Faith i'm the Average Carpet. Bagger
somewhat Shaken.
The Vice President Of the ex-Returning Board
Tom Anderson, is expected to arrive in the city
to-day from Washington-not Washington, d. O..
but Washington, st. Landry parish-and imme-
diately upon his arrival he will consult with
THE SURVEYOR OF THE PORT
upon the course to be pursued by the Returning
Board in the matter Of the informatons against
them.
The Surveyor states that owing to illness in
his family he will not be able to proceed with
Anderson to Washington, but that Anderson will
go and will most likely pay his respects to the
President, but what he will say or what he will
do, Wells does not state.
II the truth were known the Returning Board
chiefs are in dilemma and know not which horn
to grapple with. When Packard first began his
grumblings against President Hayes, they an
nounced that they must, OF course,
SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT,
and when Pitkin gave his first back kick the re-
turner's again thought they must stick to Hayes,
Wells stating as much to q DEMOCRAT reporter
but now that the President is quoted as not
caring particularly about their case, they are
inclined to "sour on him. as it were, and
while no
OPEN OR DIRECT THREATS
are made, the intimstions that drop occasionally
in the Surveyors Office indicate plainly that the
Returning Board Chief is in no mood to be trifed
with by his Republican allies.
rumor was current in the Granite Building
yesterday that Wells had some difficulty in Sc
curing bondsman last week, some of those
promin.n Republicans whom he had often
accommodated" having, it is said. refused to
become security even for his appearance at the
next term OF the Superior Criminal Court.
From the expression OF some of his friends it
is apparent that Wells feels this keenly, and has
not as much confidence now

In general terms the proposition means that
there shall be only one (doube) track along the
neutral ground OF Canal street from the river
landing TO Claiborne street, along which special
no FEED
the various lines at their mutual expense, but
without extra charge to passengers.
The system would require the cars OF the Mag
azine and Camp street lines to sand on Camp
street; the Common street line on Basin street;
Fair Grounds line on Dauphne; the Dauphine
and Barracks and the Bayou Road lines on
Rampant street, and 80 on; and the Canal street
steam cars to the lake at Claiborne street. The
project is not new one. 1t was submitted to the
several railroad companies some years ago, and
at meeting Of the presidents OF these roads 1t
was accepted BY sll-except by one-as not only
matter OF expedienoy, but
ALSO OF ECONOMY.
The exception was the President Of the New
Orleans City Railroad Company, who, it was un-
derstood, was Satisfied with its stations on Canal
street, claiming, 1t was supposed, the exclusive
right Of way along the neutral ground. Since
then, however, IL has clearly been settled that
the Canal street lines are only trunk lines. which
makes the project feasible one.
"A
circuit from the head Of Canal street TO Claiborne
street and back, would require twenty minutes at
most, and with ten feeder cars there would be
one passing any given point on Canal street,
between the levee and Claiborne street,
EVERY TWO MINUTES
The accommodation to the public with such q
system s obvious, and it is believed that it would
enure to the advantage OF the street railroad
companies also. It would afford the facility to a
person at any point on the line OF the feeder or
accommodation train to reach any point on the |
main lines without expense, while IL would also |
induce them to visit localities for five cents which
would otherwise cost them ten cents and ten |
cents to return.
The project is In embryo, however, and when IL |
is fully developed we shall endeavor TO explain its
advantages more fully.
