riding to an adjacent rack, then step
ping across the roadway, he took de-
lilerate aim at his victim, about forty
yards distant, and fred y heavy
charge Of buckshot into the mans
head. The moment the report was
heard the attention Of officer Bessan
was attracted to the scene, and lie vt
once arrested the criminal. The lat
ter made no attempt at resistance,
but calmly handed the weapon he
carried to the constable, and then nc
companied him quietly to the Jail,
where he was interviewed q short
time after the unfortunate occurrence
had taken place. Goodrich acknowl-
edged readily that he had committed
the crime, and alleged as justification
TINT he had heard the wounded man
slandered him and his sister, Will
loughby's wife. The slander alleged
was that Goodrich had improper con-
versation with Willoughby's wife.
Willoughby, however, r,strenuously de-
MED having ever made any such
statement.
We have regarded this Willoughby
for some time, as a man Of unsound
mind, his irregular habits being cal
culatcd to further weaken y natural
ly feeble intellect. He has been
recently tried for bigamy, but we
believe that the judge has not
yet decided on his case, and it
will probably matter little to the
accused, what that decision may be,
as Willoughby is not likely to live to
hear it. When we saw him Tuesday
morning, several ounces Of his brains
had already oozed from his skull, and
the doctors had but little hopes Of
his rncnvnrv

STORMY WEATHER

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Feb. "a
fearful storm of snow and wind has
been raging here since one o'clock
this morning, and the gale has been
increasing in violence ever since day
light. The wind is from east north
east. A portion of the roof and nearly
one hundred feet of the piazza of the
United States hotel has been blown
off.
The brig Castalia, from Galveston,
with 1858 bales of cotton, came ashore
abreast Of the Highlands, at two
o'clock this morning. The crew of
ten men and one lady passenger, were
landed by life-saving crew from
station No. 4. The ship and cargo
are insured.
The ship lies high up on the beach
and may be saved.

tug Tecumseh was notified and start

just returned and reports the vessel
so high upon beach she could not get
near her. The vessel appears to be
deserted.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 3.-Snow began
to fall at ten o'clock this morning and
still continues. 1t is now eight or
ten inches deep, and the heaviest
snow storm experienced for years in
this locality.

THE CAPITOL SUBSCRIPTION.

On last Thursday, after two days
of careful consideration, under the
advice of that distinguished attorney
Col. Andrew s. Heron, the City
Council finally adopted the ordinance
authorized by the new Constitution
as the method through which Baton
Rouge is to subscribe $35, 600 towards
rebuilding the Capitol destroyed in
1862.
Bonds covering the above amount
are to be issued, bearing eight per
cent. interest, payable semi-annnally
by fiscal agent to be appointed from
time to time by the Council. These
bonds arc to be taken up within
twenty years by sinking fund which
will be applied to take up at least
onc-twenticth Of the principal each
year.
TO ensure the payment of the prin-
cipal and interest the entire revenues
of the city are pledged, and especially
the receipts of the steamboat landing
and the market house, which are more
than sufficient to effect this object.
As n guarantee against the failure or
neglect of future administrations to
observe strictly the provisions Of the
ordinance, the bondholders may, un-
der such circumstances, take posses
sion Of these sources of revenue and
cause the dues to he collected by an
agent selected by themselves.
As the power conferred upon the
y Council comes directly from the Con-
ystitution, the contract is one that can
not be broken under any circum-
stances.
Therefore no better investment
could be found than the Capitol bonds
soon to be issued. We hope therefore
that tho charitable and other associa-
tions of our city will vie with our citi-
zens in taking up this unquestidnablv
safe loan, one destined to bring back
the Capital and with it the advance
ment Of Baton Rouge. y
Although the sum subscribed will
not be needed until the contract for
rebuilding the State House will have
been awarded, still it is advisable the
amount should be raised at as early u
date as possible in order to silence
the assertion that our city is unable
to fulfil it's pledge, an assertion that
is being used by some persons who
would seek an excuse to urge a fla
grant violation of the Constitution
and an unwarrantable disregard Of
the will of the people Of Louisiana.
The committee will soon call upon
our citizens, whose public spirit and
patriotism has never been found
waiting in the hour Of need.

more in the single battle at Gettysburg to free the
colored people than Garfield ever accomplished
in his whole life. That fact should be recognized
by the colored voters this fall.-7oedO Times
Nobody, of course, ever expected that Grant
would vote for Hancock, and his expressing his
