Another Brace of yars suatehed

AnOther Brace Of Vags Snatched
Before Justice Brooks, yesterday,
Mag Estep and Martha Clark, a brace
Of degraded white women, were found
guilty of vagrancy, and sent to the
work house. TiIda McMahan, another
of the same breed, was tried but dis
charged. Still the work goes on.
One gratifying sign Is noticeable
since the snatching OF these vagrants.
There is a perceptible reform in the
congregating and lettering around two
or three Market square saloons and
other places of nights. This was
growing to be quite nuisance.

LETTER FROM PoINTE ooUPEE,
NEw ROADS, Sept. 26th, 1850.

NEW ROADS, Sept. Goth, 1850.
Gen. Leon Jastremski:
Dear Sri enclose a list of five sub
scribers to your Weekly.
There is nothing new here. We have
just ended q three weeks term of the
District Court, and have cleared o very
large docket, in consequence of which
several ofour "contrabands" will soourn
in your city; one for life.
William Vance, q white man has Just
been tried for murder, this is the cause
celebre OF our court. He was tried for
murder in 1873, convicted, and sentenced
to death. His attorneys appealed to the
Supreme Court, succeeded in obtaining
new trial; he was again tried at the De-
cember 1879 term of court, this time, the
jury failed to agree, and a mistrial was
entered. At this term of court he was
found guilty OF manslaughter, and scn-
tencedt to ten years imprisonment at hard
labor. His counsel Immediately appeal
cd to the Supreme Court. Alas-therc
are worse men than Vance who are ac-
quilted; such, at least is the belief of a
very large part of our community.
Politically everything is very quiet,
the Republicans seemingly take no in
tercst in the cauaais4 Why should
they, it would be lore's labor lost for
Pointe Coupee is good for five hundred
majority for Hancock and Robertson.
Our crop prospects are not near a.
good as they were at the time of your
visit. We have had incessant rains
which caused rot and shedding, and now
the catcrpi'lars have made their appear
ance. However, think we will make
at least 4 half crop.
Bye the bye, what has become of that
steamboat line between Waterloo ard
Baton Rouge? Are your merchants
afraid that it might ovcrrun them with
trade: Have they SO much business
that they don't want any more!
So far l have not succeeded in getting
you as many subscribers az l wished,
but hope to be able to do better in a
Month or so. The CAplToLlAN is very
popular here, we all think it has the
true ring, and we begin to look upon it
as authority in things Democratic.
Truly yours, PolNTE CoupEE.

NHARFBoAT DISADVANTAGES
The proposition of establishing a
w'arfboat has often been mootcd in
Baton Rouge. While q wharfboat
has its advantages it has also, as will
be seen by the following from the
Feliciana Sentinel, its serious draw
backs:
On Saturday evening last the wharf
boat at Bayou Sara was seized by a
special United States Deputy Marshal
sent from New Orleans for the pur-
pose. The cause of the seizure is for
the recovery Of $4,000 salvage.

who in turn claim that they saved
said boat and some 100000 Of freight

Claiborne Guardian: Some paper in this

Press Association before taking any
stock in it. This is absurd, as much 50
as rlccting officers beforehand seems to
be. There can be no Association until
the representatives of the varions
journals or a goodly number of them
meet, organize, prepare and adopt rules

State Will have a representative present.
and that these shall by a mutual inter
change of views prepare permanent
organization, with rules and regulations

ton the Association will have its yearly

Will be so extra cautions as to hold back
and take no part in the organization. 1t

and take part in the prciminarics,

Shreveport Standard: An invention
which bids fair to become of the creates
Importance, has come to our notice. |,
IS a solar compass,and cmanatrs from the
ingenuity ofCapt. Frank Moore, of bu1
city, who has been at work on it, like
Edison on the electric light, for man,
years. He has made many models. and
cast them aside because of their compli.
icaton, his object being to secure a sim.
pie implement combined with accuracy
which he has in the one we refer to. It
can be made as a transit, or an instrument
tor surveying, or as a quadrant or SEX
tant, and last of all is perfect clock.
The whole can be combined in one. The
instrument gives the true north from
sunrise to sunset, consequently the
variation of the needle marks the noon
accurately; also the suns angle. and
the declination. giving the latitude of
heplacc. 1t also gives the hour and
minutes from sunset. All of this is done
without calculation. The refraction
OF light is overcome and no instrument
can be more accurate. On this principle
the distance of any parallel Of latude
from the equator can be marked even to
within IL foot. Any one of common
can, after few minutes
explanation, use the instrument with the
facility. Its cost Of construction
IS nominal compared with other instru-
mcnts in use.
