WHERE SHALL HT BE?

AS something vas said In yesterdays
DEMOCRAT regarding the respective merits Of
Davidson Court and Turner'S Hall as q police
station, we publish the following arguments
from the proprietors Of the former place on
the subject
The ground on which the Court is built has
a much larger area than the ground Of Tur-
ners' Hall.
The Davidson Court is built in separate di-
visions, freely exposed to light, air and sum-
with windows and doors opening on all sides.
The drainage is good, and all parts Of the lot
are above highest water in rain or overflow.
The situation Of the Court is central and
easy of access in all states of weather.
By reason of it's being rented it Is still sub
ject to city taxes.
The Turner's Hall has water standing to-
day within it's four walls, the result Of the
rain during the end of last week. No cells
can be built In it except upon this damp, I'M
healthy ground, and excluded from sunshine,
light and ventilation. The cost Of Turner's Hall
will be greatly increased by the repairs and
additions which would be necessary to fit it for
the city's uses. The interest on these, as we'll
as on the price paid for the hall, and the
amount Of tax which the city loses by pur-
chasing, have all to be calculated to deter
mine what the Turner's Hall will cost the
city per annum. The question can safely be
left to the decision Of the Administrators On
the merits of the two buildings and their loca-
ton, and business determination Of the real
cost to the city in selecting one Or the other.

HsOSTOFFHCE MATTERS.
HOW the Quarantine Affects the VIA

HOW the Quarantine Affects the Mails.
It was announced some days ago in the
DEMOCRAT shortly after the declaration Of
quarantine by the Galveston Board of Health
that the postoffice authorities at this city had
made arrangements to forward the Texas
mails by way of Memphis, Little Rock, Tex
arkana, etc. In accordance with these ar
rangements the mails have been regularly
sent Off but yesterday the officers here were
surprised by the return Of all the mails dis
patched between the twenty seventh of July
and the second of August inclusive, the Texas
authorities having declined to receive them.
Under the circumstances it will be useless
to deposit any more letters for Galveston, or
which have to be forwarded by way OF Gal
weston; Several other, towns, including
Memphis, have also decided not to receive the
mails. jackson permits the delivery Of let
ters, but prohibits the entry of newspapers.
Since Saturday last, owing to the stoppage
of trains, no mail has been sent over the Nor
gan Railroad, but Monday arrangements were
made to send two mails weekly, one on Tues
day and the other On Saturday. They will be
carried by rail to Terrebonne parish, and
from thence pushed on to every point it is
possible to reach. The arrangement went
into effect yesterday.

Commissioner johnson acting upon the adj

AN HfKatETEHE EIME.
Her. P0incey CowhIlea by Hr. F0rment0
on anntT Street

At about quarter to II O'Clock yesterday
morning, on Cont street, near Bourbon, DR..
Poncey was cowhded by DR.. Formento As
the facts concerning this difficulty are very
conflicting, tho statements Of the three par
ties concerned are given.
DR.. Poiucey's friends state that while that
gentleman and his wife were walking on
Cont street, near Bourbon, he was accosted
by DR.. Formento, who stated to DR.. Poincey
that he would like to speak to him While
speaking Dr.. Formento made motion to
draw something, and at that moment DR..
PoinCey saw the handle Of 81 CoWhide and the
butt Of q pistol. AS soon as he saw it, and
having good reason to believe that DR.. For
mento was going to assail him, he knocked
him down. BY the time Dr.. Formento had
recovered bis .eq4illibr.iqm., his friend, Mr.
Chepello, sezedahold of Poincey, and, while
pinioned by him, Dr. Formento struck him
two or three times with a cowhide.
DR.. FormentOs version of the affair is,
that he met Dr.. Poncy walking with his
wife; he called him aside and then cowhided
him for having written disrespeCtful letter.
Mr.. Chpello was interviewed, and he stated
that he had just returned from the country
and yesterday morning was met by DR.. For
mentO, who requested him to accompany him
while he purchased q, cowhide2; that after
DR.. Formento called Dr. Poncey aside, as
he was with his wife, and Immediately
started to strike him with the cowhide.
Both men then clnched and wcrein the gutter
when he. who was some distance off, ap-
preached and was going to separate them,
but fearing that Mrs. Poincey might think
that he was going to assist DR.. Formento,
held aloof until the crowd who had gathered
inte1fered then he assisted them in separat-
ing the men. DR.. Poncey it is alleged, will
make affidavit against his assailant.
From what could be ascertained we under
stand that the quarrel originated In Il iffer-
ence Of opinion concerning O. case Of yellow
fever.

TINE GOLOREge FAITHFUL.
They are Indignant and Complaining of
Rad Treatment.


For some time past there has been con-
siderable complaint in the ranks of the coIored
faithful in regard to the manner in which the
patronage of the offices in the Custom House
has been distributed by the officials who FILL
them. They claim that they have been I'M
justly and unfairly treated; that all the posi-
tions worth having have been given to white
men who were not, looking at the matter
from political standpoint, entitled to them,
and prominent colOred men, who worked for
and voted with the party, have been over
looked put off with false promises, or COM
PEELED to accept places on the labOrers' pay
ROLL or other minor and mental positions.
AS an example Of the manner in which the
colored men are treated, one of the dissatis-
fled yesterday stated that three members OF
the Republican State Central Committee two
white, one cOlored, called on q certain officer
and asked the appointment Of a colored man.
After receiving the promise Of the official to
consider the matter, the committee Withdrew.
The two white men, as soon as possible after
leaving, separated from their brother mem
Der Of the committee, returned to the office
and informed the officer that he need not re-
gard their appeal at all-that they made it
only for effect.
The complaints have been growing louder
and louder, and have at last eliminated in
action.
In several wards the colorod men have or
ganized themselves into what they call an
Independent movement, having for its object
opposition to everything emanating from the
Custom-Hou5e and it is claimed that it is
gaining strength every day. In addition to
this the matter has been brought before the
Republican State Central Committee, and
was the subject of 81 lively debate
On Monday the sub-campaign committee
had o meeting, and before it the patronage
subject was also brought up, and the dis
cussion on it is said to have been both amin
ated and bitter, Dumout, chairman of the
Central Commute being one OF the principal
speakers
There has been some talk of disbanding the
Parish Committee, but this has met with con-
siderable opposition on the grounds that such
an net would be virtual disarmament Of the
party, and although there is small probability
of ticket being put in the field, the desire is
to keep the party together so that advantage
may be taken of anything which may turn up.

The general stagnation of business in the

greatly felt at the Custom House there being
little or nothing doing in any of the depart

ing at all to do.
