A good indication of the steady i'm
prQvement in tho business of Baton
Rouge, lies in the fact that on Sunday
last not less than ten commercial DRUM
mers from abroad were registered ut the
Capitol Restaurant and rs many more
at the Veranda House. While this is
an evidence that our city is an impor-
tant market for the sale of all species of
goods and wares, it also shows that we
need manufactures of all kinds in our
midst, by which means the large sums
realized from the crops will be kept ut
homo to support tho many artisans who
would find it to their advantage to To-
cate in our city. Thus would tho dol
lars that 60 abroad remain to increase
our population, beautify our city and
neighborhoOd, and give us such degree
Of prosperity as our people have never
before seen. Immense quantities of
manufactured goods and articles that
could oil be supplied by home industry,
are landed on our river front by almost
every steamer. And tho money to pay
for these goes away by every mail.

STATE NEWS.

Pointe Coupee Banner: On Wednes
day, the 81 inst, Albert Crutchiieltl
colored, was brought to Jail by Mr.
Olive Smith, Constable Of III Ward
charged with having murdered one Johr
Hoyet, also coloro'l, on the I'd inst
Crutchfeld admits the killing Of Hoyet
but claims that il was done in self.tle
fense. Although this killing took place
on election day, 1t had no connection
with politics and did not take place near
any of the polls. Crutchtield has rc.
tanned the services of Messrs. HARRISON
Il Claiborne for his defense, and the
preliminary examination will be- had in
few days
Morgan City Free Press Alex. Bunift
was arrested and lodged in the Jail on
Tuesday, and will be sent before tho
District Court to answer to the charge
OF assault with dangerous weapon. 1t
seems from what we can learn, that no
had some trouble with Mrs. Holiday--a
very old lady, and grandmother to his
divorced wife---about tho ownership of q
piece Of property on Third street; Mrs.
Holiday ordered him from tho premises,
when Bunif knocked her down several
times with brass knuckles. The assault
was most cowardly for one who has any
pretensons to manhood, and we hope
that he will receive the full extent Of
the law In such cases.
The thirty-ffth session of the Louis
lana annual conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, will be held In

Anecdotes of Lucrefia Mott.

At meeting of the woman's suffrage
society in New York recently, in memory
Of Lucretia Mott, some interesting anec-
dotes were related. Mrs. Blake said for
many years she would not ride in any
pubic conveyance in Philadelphia that
would not admit colored people. She
would neither eat nor use anything which
had been produced by slave labor The
Rev. highland Garnett, pastor of Shiloh
church, spoke of an attack upon an anti
slavery meeting by rowdies. Some of
the speakers were roughly handled on
leaving and crowd assembled around
Mrs Mott and her male escort. She
calmly told him to see one of the other
ladies home. "And who will take care
of you?" he said. "This gentleman, :"
she answered, designating leader of the
rowdies. The man was completely taken
aback, but succumbedd an conducted her
out Of harms way.
