Cattle Thieves.

On last Thursday morning, Mr.. r. B.
Summers, of this city, who deals in cat
tie, as he was returning home, met two
negroes, Martin Heard, alias Jim Rob-
ertson, Henry Hickman, alias George
Henry, George Hall, about six OF seven
miles from town, who had three or four
cattle which they were driving to this
city to SELL He entered into negotia-
tions at once, and agreed to purchase
them upon the terms offered. After
reaching town the circumstance was
related incidentally to Chef Hillen,
who advised Mr.. Summers not to pay
for them until 1t was positively ascer-
tanned that the cattle belonged to them.
The circumstance was reported to the
ever yigilant Sheriff Bates, who, in con-
junction with Chief Hillen, quizzed
the negroes until they were satisfied
that the cattle were stolen. They were
upon suspicion. Then followed
diligent inquiry on the part of the Off
GERS, which resulted in the discovery
that the cattle were stolen from DIR.
George and NJ. I. Carpenter, of the 18th
ward. One of the negroes afterwards
confessed that they were stolen. One
of them lived on DR.. Easts place and
the other on Mr.. Joe Hackney's place, in
the same ward. They now recline in jail.
The frequency of thefts of this kind
would seem to Justify the Texas mode of
punishment, but we believe, though
ihe process oflaw is slow and tedious,
t is the best in the end, and will work
/ final suspension. Still, people lose
,attle nearly every 'day-stolen in nine
'ases out of ten-and the guilty seldom
ire discovered. We fear forbearance will
'oon cease to be virtue with those in
crested.

Wrong impressions.

| 1t has been reported to Governor Nc.
Emery that there was but three work
men engaged on the capitol at Baton
Rouge. The Governor proposes to in
quire into this, as well rs other allega-
tions of maladministration of the funds
appropriated to the construction of this
building. Shreveport Standard.
After an interview with Major Bird,
the Superintendent, we are convinced
that the above is absolutely incorrect
He says The report may have originated
from the fact that at one time there was
some misunderstanding between the
Joiner and his workmen, which caused
all but three or four of them to quit
work for few days. After this there
was some malicious rumor that the join
er had oyerdrawn the amount of funds
coming to him.
When the State House Commission
met here, few days ago, committee
composed OF Messrs Hagan, Robertson
and Munday, was appointed to inyes
tigate the matter, when the charge was
proved to be utterly false-no funds be-
ing misappropriated. Furthermore, Gov.
McEnery, upon the occasion referred to
above, expressed himself as highly graf
flied at the progress Of the work as con-
ducted.
AS to the other charge, Major Bird
says, altogether the number of hands
engaged on the State House has been
from thirty to sixty.
The Standard will please make the cor
rection. Those who know the personal
character OF the State House Commits
sion will be very cautious in casting re-
Elections upon them

ure, yesterday morning, of call from
Prof. j. w. Pierce, the newly elected
Principal Of the Coushatta Male and Fe-

attainments had preceded him to Cou

him, leads us to the conviction that he
has not beeu over-estmated hy Col
Boyd, Gen. Heron, and other distin.
guisifed gentlemen of this State. We find
him most pleasant conversationalist,
easy and refined in his manners, and a
Christian gentleman in every sense of
the word. He makes no boast of his
abilities, and comes, he says, to do the
best he can for all concerned.
