b. the Grand Jury, but presumed that
Pollers Wonld be indicted. However, it
is to be supposed that evidence with
which we are not familiar was developed
by the investigation, justifying the Jury
in it's finding Of mot a true bill"
These are the only four cases the Grand
Jurors were called upon to examine.
Their report as to the condition of the
public buildings and offices speaks for it,
self and evinees O careful attention to
the matters coming within the province
of Grand Jnry's inquisition. The ref.
erences to the prevalent evils of gam
bling and carrying concealed weapons

ticipate that any marked diminution of
these pernicious practices can be effected
until laws moro adequate for their sup
preston are provided by the legislative
department of our government. The
Parish Treasurer's report shows a
healthy financial condition Of the several
funds of which that official is the custo-
dian. A considerable amount yet in the

THE FLOODS.

The extraordinary flood in the Ohio
river attained its maximum height on
the 18th inst, when the gauge marked Sc
feet inches at Cincinnati, fully two feet
above the highest point reached by the
heretofore unequaled flood Of 1882.
Since the 18th the river has been steadily
falling and has gone down several feet,
relieving the people along its course from
apprehension of further damage or dan
ger.
On Wednesday last the river at Cairo
rose to point only one inch below the
maximum height of the flood of 1882;
then it began falling and was still
declining at last accounts. The Missis-
sippi above Cairo threatened consider
able rise, but it also is falling again.
Very high water and much damage
has been expected between Cairo and
Vicksburg, but latest indications are
that the itlood will not be as great be-
tween those points as it was last year,
and as the Yazoo, Red, and other tribu-
tary streams this side of Cairo-with the
single exception of the Arkansas-are
much lower than at this date in 1882, it
is scarcely probable that the rising
waters will give much cause for uneasi-
ness along the lower Mississippi except
ing at places where there are new or
uncompleted levees.
The first crevasses of the season &C.
cured last Sunday evening at the lila
wara, Goodrich and Edgewood levees,
East Carroll parish. These were new,
unfinished works. The breaks are each
about $50 feet wide and water to the
depth of from two to five feet is rushing
through, but up to this time the damage
is only slight.

TARIFF PROBABILITIES

The Senate tariff bill has finally passed
that body by vote Of ~ yeas to Is nays,
but it is extremely doubtful whether the
House will concur in the measure or even
agree to its amendment in such manner
as will prove acceptable to the Senate,
As there remains barely a week within
which the present Congress can enact
laws, it looks very much as if Senator
Kellogg's recent prediction will be veri-
fed and that there will be no amended
tariff bill passed this session, A deter
mined effort will be made to get some
kind of bill through, however, in
Difference to the supposed popular de-
mand for tariff reductions, and there is a
probability that the rules of the House
will be amended so as to allow ma iority
to call up bill from the Speakers desk
at any time, a privilege that now re-
quires two-thirds vote.
While the rates Of tariff on sugar and
molasses prescribed by the Senate bill
are not 80 favorable to Louisiana in
terests as those proposed by the Tariff
Commission, they are more liberal than
the schedule in the House bill, hence our
representatives in Congress are support
ing the Senate measure in preference to
that originating in the House. There is
a strong disposition in the latter body to
impose almost all the onus of reduction
on sugar, so that the protective rates OH
iron and other Northern and Western
products can be maintained.
The coming week will be period of
anxiety to the sugar producers of our
State, threatened as they are with heavy
tariff reductions Oh one hand and the
adoption of a free-trade treaty with
Mexico on the other. We hope to have
the pleasure of reporting in our next
issue that they have escaped both dan
gers.

Reply to His Correspondence Concern

DONALDsoNvILLE, Feb. 5, 1883,

| "A Reply to His Correspondence Concern
ing Rev. Heber Newton's Sermon.
DoNALDsoNvILLE, Feb. 5, 1883.
EDITOR CHIEF:
Dear Sir have been deeply panied
by the savage attack made on the Epis-
copal Church and Bishop Potter of New
York, by your correspondent Broadbrim,
in Your issue OF the 9th ultimo.
1t seems to me that any one, anxious
to appear in print, would be very careful
| i'll the statement of truths and facts,
| Broadbrim has stated neither. He saws
that the Episcopal Church "needs wax
| ing up" because the venerable Bshop of
New York has taken no notice of SER
mon preached by the Rev. Heber Newton,
on the inspiration of the Bible; $" and
the "uncharitablo sinner" Broadbrim,
suggests that tile Bishop "was either
asleep or drunk" Fo: dignity of char
acter and purity Of life, no man ranks
higher in this country than the honored
Bishop of New York. He is q Bishop in
name and deed, sans peur ct sans reproche.
as thousands of his fellow citizens, both
priests and laymen, are willing to testify,
Broadbrim to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Possibly his harsh and false criti
cism was inspired after he had imbibed
too freely of grosser inspiration than
that suggested by the sermon of the Rev.
Heber Newton. Let me say a few words
about this sermon and the connection of
the Church Herewith:
The Episcopal Church is branch of
the Catholic Church, tracing her lineage
up to Christ through the Apostles. She
guards with holy hands the ancient
creeds of the undivided Church. She
holds in its integrity the great Symbol
of Nicala, which teaches of tie Triune
God, and "One Holy, Catholic and Apos.
tolic Church" She believes and teaches
the truths that have been held seanper.
ubiQae ct ab omnibus. She holds that the
Bible is inspired, but has no "theory of
inspiration" Goods word written y she
says, "is inspired"
The Rev. Heber Newton has set Forth
in one of his recent sermons "a Theory
of Inspirations" which he had perfect
right to do. He has not, as far as can
ascertain, assailed any of the great doc
trines OF the Catholic faith, and do not
see that bis wise and good Bishop is
called upon to interfere. Should the
uncharitable sinner" ever come to ap-
preciate the meaning of his own words,
he will understand what a great wrong
he has helped to do by spreading abroad
petty sensation at the expense of one
of the purest of Gods servants in this
land.
Hoping that no such ungenerous attack
will ever appear again in your columns,
l am, respectfully yours,
RoBT. S. STUART,

John S. Minor, against whom Il true
bill for murder was returned, shot and
killed Jacques Hirsch at Lane Store Oh
the 10th Of September, 1882, and has since
been fugitive from justice. The cir
cunstances under which the homicide
was committed rendered tho Indictment
almost foregone conclusion, and Young
Minors fight denoted AL appreciation
on his part Of this fact. The accused is
white man and Hirscl was also white.
A. 2. Landry, d white resident of the
fifth ward, shot and killed Abram Todd,
Il coorcd man, at the Marchand place,
near Landmarks store, on the 23rd of
October, 1882. The affair occurred dur
ing the heat Of the Congressional cam
paign and caused much excitement in the
neighborhood, where both men had re-
sided many years and had a large number
of friends and relatives. After prelim-
mary examination, the District Judge
placed accused under an appearance
bond of $1,000, and some of the friends of
Todd were much exercised on account of
this action, believing that a murder had
been committed and that bail should
have been refused. TO these parties tue
decision of the Grand Jury will no doubt
be Il surprise, but under the forms of law
the finding of that body must be &C
cepted as II vindicaton of the accused,
denoting that he was justi fed i'll taking
the life of Todd.
Joe Holloway was charged with shoot
ing Billy Mathers on the Conway plan
tation the night Of the 5th of November
last. A party Of young colored men had
been gambling in cabin, and some dis
agreement arose which eliminated in the
lights being blown out and some pro-
miscuous shooting taking place in which
number of the party participated.
There was a lack of evidence to show
that Holloway had fred the fatal shot,
and the refusal Of the Grand Jury TO
indict him was presayed by the fact that
Judge Cheevers, after examining the case,
had ordered the release of the accused on
the petty bond of $50.
Sanders Pollers and David Brown. the
former as principal and the latter rs ac-
cessory, were charged with the murder
of Peter Green at Tobiasville, on the 5tll
of November, 1882. This affair also
grew out of a gambling quarrel among
coIored men. Pollers evadca arrest, but
Brown was captured and placed under
bond of $50 for his appearance at the
February term of The District Court.
We anticipated the acquittal of Brown
