that he must commit murder to escape

him down and shot him and his cook.
He then went of in pursuit Of two

the cook having locked themselves in
the mean time. He procured .
broadax and fell to work on one Of

house. He broke open the door, and
finding they had escaped, put the

Mississippi. New Orleans has allow

by the excitement Of politics. Her

In New York a man named Jones
has lately published a Tory history
of the Revolution. 1t purports to be
taken from cotemporaneous data and
and from the memorandum diary OF
the Jones predecessors Of that time.
The book is spoken of as being highly
interesting, but some dissatisfaction
Is expressed against Jones because OF
his assertion that the British govern
ment could have boushtup the pa
triot fathers very cheap for cash. The
New Orleans Times thinks Jones
should not say such things, especially
as growing familiarity with patriots
inclines the citizen of to-day to be-
lieve Jones. There is one thing,
however, which Jones can't deny, and
that is, after the patriot fathers found
they couldn't sell out, they fought
like the devil.

ABOUT THE STATE CAPITAL.

1t is to be hoped that those who
have this matter in charge will not
suffer it to be ignored. The question
of removing the capital to Baton
sRouge is one whose intrinsic impor-
tance entities it to the most careful
consideration. There are SO many
and such grave reasons why the
change should be made, thate we
hardly dare to begin cnumerating
them; but it may be sufficient to
mention the salient and Oft-repeated
points that Baton Rouge is the most
practicable centre in the State, that
it is healthy, supplied with all the
conyeniences and facilities necessary
and that the establishment of the State
CAPITAL there will remove the two
specially susceptible branches OF gov
-
crnment from the loose and corrupt
ing influences of a large city like
New Orleans. 1t is no time to open
the question of whether and to what
extent these influences have ever
been felt since the transfer of the capi-
tai to this city. TO do that would be
to give pain to many worthy persons
whose sensibilities we have no desire
to harrow. Let us rather consider
the matter in a present and prospec'
tive sense altogether, so far as con
Germs this feature of the argument
1t is enough for our purpose to have
it conceded that Baton BOuge is in al
essential respects the most desirable
locality for the State Capital-at leas
the most desirable one that is practic

able as well. This concession, We

able as well. This concession, We
think, will be very generally made;
and when there is added the faet That
a constitutional amendment At1ing
the removal II the capital to Baton
Rouge was submitted to the people,
by the Legislature Of 1879 and BY the
people ratified in November Of that
year, it would seem that enough has
been said to demonstrate the proprie-
ty if not the necessity Of making tho
change. kS eka
We are unable topereeive how, un-
der the circumstances, the Gonven-
ton can fail to provide for the remov-
al Of the Capital to Baton Rouge, or
how any serious opposition can be
offered to such a measure. If we
imagined such opposition probable,
or likly to prove successful, we should
urge as a compromise the selection Of
Covington, in St. Tammany parish,
which for bealthfulness and beauty
of surroundings has, perhaps, no
equal in the State. 1t could easily
and promptly be rendered accessible
to New Orleans, and thus TO- the rest
of the State,s and would in few
years become to this city what Yer
sailles is to Paris-a magnificent and
delightful suburb. But we cannot
realize that any such alternative il
apt to be presented. The claims o1
Baton Rouge are Of course foremost,
in character as well as in position,
and it seems to US the extreme o1
improbability that they will be .ig-
