A reneontre occurred on Mississippi
street, Tuesday evening, between DR..
A. r. de Villeneuve and Mr.. Henry
Gartz, in which the latter was worsted
and severely pummeled upon the face.
Gartz opened active hostilities by
striking the Doctor with cane as he
threateningly advanced, but the agile
medical gentlemen quickly took his
antagonist in hand and polished him
off in effective style, throwing Gartz
down and beating him until bystand-

batants. Deputy Sheriff Israel made
an affidavit charging the parties with
committing an affray, aud after exam
ination of the case Justice Vicknair

REGIsTRATIoN.-TI Assessor and
Supervisor of Registration has been
located at the Court House all of this
week, revising the assessment rolls
aud registering voters. At 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the total number
of voters registered was 1888, divided
as follows: Whites 357, colored 1881.
The total vote of the parish at the
last election was about 5000, the Re.
publIcans polling 1000 and the oppo-
sition 1900. Hence it appears that
considerably less than one-haif the
whole number of our qualified cleo
tors have yet re-registered and the
eolored citizens have displayed much
more interest in the matter than the
whites. There will be a term of sixty
days allotted to completing the regis
tration just prior to the November
election, however, and as the cam
naign will then be in full blast, we
have no doubt nearly all the citizens
of Ascension will perform the impor-
tant duty of qualifying themselves for
participation in the selection Of the
officers who make aud execute the
laws by which we are governed. The
Supervisor will close his registration
book and assessment rolls this eye
ming.
