From the annual business statement issued
by the Times of Shreveport, we gather some
interesting facts relating to that city and the
parish in which it is located, and of which it
is the parish seat. The population Of Caddo

Times states that she ranks as the second
parish In the State. The assessed value Of

The friends of Omar Fletcher, formerly of
Augusta, took much interest in the violent
death of his son Elmer, during the fall of III,
and have expressed much sympathy for the
aged and bereaved parents in their western
home in Mo.
Jack Duncan, the murderer, though prompt
ly taken did not get his trial till Sept, 1873.
He had rich relations, and all that money
could do, was done to clear him. But evil
dence was all against him. He was a youth
of about II years. Young Fletcher about
the same age. The facts arrived at during
the trial were these: That Duncan had found
$500 of his grandfather's, had told Elmer.
Elmer told his mother, for which Duncan
threatened to shoot Elmer. Accordingly
one Sabbath afternoon, while Elmer and a
young brother of Duncan's were alone in Mr..
Fletcher's house, Duncan went in, took up a
loaded rife standing near the door, cooked it.
told Elmer to say his prayers, and fired, the
ball entering the inner corner Of tine left
eye, carrying away about one-half the bridge
of the nose. Elmer lived about eight hours.
He was sitting in his mothers chair, and
the horror of the scene as friends soon ar
rived, can better be imagined than told,
and the parents have not rallied from the
shock yet.
Counsel for Duncan did all for him posi-
Bile. Eight of the jury were for hanging, but
compromise was effected and he now is

halfway limitations which the Southern
democrats had seen fit to drop in debate, to
the effect that they expected help from their
Northern friends in these matters, and that
if they did not receive it the solid South
might be of less value to the Northern demo-
Gratis than the latter expected. To this he
had plain answer TO make, and that was, if
the price of their remaining in the democrat
| ic party was the money they could get from
the Treasury, the sooner they left it the bet
ter and for all who went for such reasons the
democrats would have recruits from the re-
publicans. He spoke of the thirty four mil
lions it had been claimed was wrongfully in
the Treasury from proceeds of Southern prop
erty taken, and said with forcibe language
that it would be well for those gentlemen
who kept their eyes fixed on that small amount
to turn their gaze for a moment to a picture
he would present. He then depicted the
immense cost in life and treasure, the
wounds and desolation brought on the
country by the action of the rebels. and then
asked them to balance all this, if they could.
by holding up the trife they had always in
mind. These points give only an indication
of his matter and the tone of his speech. At
its close. half the democratic side was stand
ing and Ellis, Chalmers. Blackburn, Mills
and others were shouting to attract the atten-
ton Of the speaker. To close the debate and
end the scene an attempt was made to have
the previous question sustained, but the re-
publcans helped to vote that down, and Mr.
Ellis obtained the floor. He walked up and
down the aisle and spoke in a most excited
manner. He turned his back on the speaker
and walked back to Bragg's desk and shook
his finger in his face, and was not much
pacifed by Bragg looking up and laughing at
him. Ellis declared that the money now in
the Treasury, as the proceeds of Southern
property, was money obtained by robbery;
that it was taken illegally, unjustly
and in violation of the Constitution. He
tainted Bragg with the assertion that the
South went into the rebellion under the teach
ing and countenance of Northern democrats.
All this time there was great cOmmotion on
the democratic side and several gentlemen
seemed on the point of coming to blows.
Chalmers declared Bragg had made personal
attack on him, and demanded a chance to re-
ply, but this he was denied, on the ground that
his claim that the question was one of privi-
lege was not sound. just "a affairs had
reached whlte neat tne whole discussion was
closed on point of order that the morning
hour had closed Bragg is generally and
fercely denounced tonight by number of
Southern democrats and some of his ow side,
and tomorrow promises to be the iveliest day

floor as soon as the morning hour is an
nounced, and Chalmers is boiling with a
speech. Bragg, however, will have some
Northern and some Southern help, and the
republicans will do what they can to see that
