CORRECTION,

Representative G., II. Hill OF tins
parish has addressed us letter CALI
ing attention to an erroneous state
ment in our article of last week rela-
tive to the ferry charter. Mr. Hill
saws that shortly after Senator White
introduced the bill repeating the ferry
prant-wlich was done without con-
sulting the local representatives.
concurrent resolution providing for
committee to investigate the subject
was offered by Senator Landry. who
requested Representatives Hill and
Fobb to give it their support. Ac-
cordingly, when the resolution came
TO the House Mr.. Hill endeavored to
secure its adoption, but on motion of
Gen. Young it was referred to the
Committee on Parochial Affairs, where
it is still! pending. Mr.. Hill volunteers
the information that he is ignorant of
the reasons which induced Senator
Landry to change base on the ques-
tion-to abandon the committee pro-
iect and indorse the repeating act.
In Justice to Messrs. Fobb and Hill
we cheerfully acknowledge our error
in attributing to either an attempt to
defeat the motion for an investigating
committee. Contrary to our usual
practice, in the hurry of getting the
article in type to send the paper to
press, We accepted the statement OF a
visitor instead of making personal
examination of the legislative record.
We infer from the tone of Mr. Hills
letter that neither himself or Mr.. Fobb
will stand in the way of the bill in-
tended to wipe out the Bayou La
fourche ferry monopoly. The people
demand at their hands active support
of the righteous measure, and if this
is accorded, the CHIEF will hasten tc
give tongue to the sentiment of pub
lie approval which will follow the
| act

THE HENRY THOMAS CASE.

Tt has occurred to us that a portion
of the item in last weeks CHIEF re-
ferring to the death of the prisoner
Henry Thomas, may create some mis-
apprehension relative to Judge Duf-
fel's connection Herewith. The SIM
ple facts of the case are these On the
day of the Police Jury's last meeting,
Judge Duffel passed through town on
his way to New Orleans, and learning
from the Tailor that the Jail Physician
had addressed him the communica-
ton concerning Henry Thomas condi-
ton requested the Jailor to pre-
sent the document to the Jury in or
der that that body might make some
provision for the removal OF the SICK
man to other quarters where he could
still remain under the guardianship
of the Sheriff, until his release from
confinement should be secured by for
NAL legal process. Shortly after, the
Judge wrote to a member of the bar
in Donaldsonville, requesting him to
refer to the papers in the case, file an
application for bail, and endeavor to
procure sureties in the event OF bail
being allowed, as it undoubtedly
would have been under the circum-
stances. A day was fixed for consid-
Grafton of the case, but when the
Judge arrived in town upon that day
he learned that Thomas was dead. 1t
should not be supposed-as our hasti-
IL penned item might have suggested
that our District Judge expected
the Police Jury to enlarge prisoner,
or that he contemplated the removal
from custody of person under in
dictment, except after due process OF
law-the fixing and furnishing of a
bail bond.
While on this subject it may be
we'll to state that no blame of any
moment can be attached to the Police
Jury or elsewhere in this matter the
prisoner was at deaths door with al
incurable disease, and even if other
quarters and better care had been
provided, it is scarcely probable his
life could have been prolonged fort
night.

The Silver Bill as reported by the
Committee on Finance passed the
Senate by vote of 49 to 81.
1t differs somewhat from the Bland
bill adopted by the house, and as it is
considered certain that the latter body
will decline to concur in the changes,
a reference of the subject to commit
tee of conference may be looked fol.
The vote of the Senate and House
demonstrates that the sentiment of
the country, as represented by Con-
gress, preponderates in favor of the
reconciliation of silver, and to such
an extent that even an intervention
of the presidential veto will not pre-
vent the accomplishment of the meas
ure.

Capt. James B. Eads delivered an
address before the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange, last week, upon his
plan for the improvement of the Mis-
sissippi river below Cairo. This plan
is, to decrease the width of the stream
in wide and shoal places by means of
jetties, and by enhancing the velocity
of the current and lessening the fric-
ton surface of tho rivers bed, to
deepen the channel, arrest the caving
of banks and abrogate the necessity
of high levees.

A ISLANDER EXPOSED.

A ridiculous SANDER concerning
Mrs. D. A. Weber of Donaldsonville
was recently published by a number
of Northern journals, being a story to
the effect that that lady was in WASH
ington seeking a position under the
Federal Government on the strength
of an alleged document said to have
been signed by Secretary Sherman
and given to Mr.. D. A. Weber, prom
Using the latter a lucrative Office in
consideration of his filing, as Super
visor of Registration, protest against
the election in West Feliciana parish.
This was subsequently, modified to
some extent, the later version being
that one Mrs. 7. H. jerks was repre-
senting Mrs. Weber in the matter and
had threatened Mr.. Sherman with an
exposure of the alleged document un-
less herself, her husband and Mrs.
Weber were provided with employ
ment in the public service. Mrs.
jerks has since published state
ment denying any participation in
such transaction, but we incline to
the opinion that this person has been
playing double game, for purposes
of her own, and that her recantation
was induced by circum stances not
generally known.
1t is due to Mrs. Weber to say that
she has resided here, with her parents,
continuously since the murder of her
husband; that she has not been to
Washington or elsewhere has not
authorized any person to represent
her there upon any subject, and is not
an applicant for position of any
character under the government. She
is lady quite incapable of playing
such a part as that which has been
laid at her door, and the connection
of lier name with the affair has been
TO her o source of deep chagrin.
