Eleven cOlOred residents of the ninth
ward were arrested and brought before JUS
tice Martinez on the 9th of April, charged
with shooting at and whipping Robt. John
son, a colored citizen of the Burnett Set
Element ueizhborhood. johnson had been
paying court to widow woman, whom he
is shortly to marry, but the course of their
true loye was interrupted by the appear
ance of another woman, claiming to be
the mans lawful spouse, and accompanied
by child also alleged to be his property.
Taking tie woman's story for granted,
number of the colored men of the vicinity
broke into Johnson's house one Saturday
night, chased him into the woods, through
briars, boys aud gullies, gave him severe
whipping and compelled him to leave the
peighhorhood the following morning with
an admonition meyer to return. The fugi-
tits came to Donaldsonville and filed
complaint against his prosecutors. War
rants were placed in the hands of Con-
stable Jones of the ninth ward and on Fri
day afternoon the accused were brought in.
A pafley then took place which resulted in
q, compromise, johnson agreeing not to
prosecute his complaint and the prisoners
being released upon payment of costs and
furnishing bonds to keep the peace. The
entire party were committsd to Jail for the
time being, but all subsequently, secured
their freedom by cashing up and giving
bond as required. johnson acknowl-
edges having lived with the woman who
claimed to be his wife, but says that he has
never been legally married and left her
over two years ago. We have no doubt his
statement is true, and that, when he mar
ries the New River widow, the boys who
bulldozed him will be glad OF an opportu-
nifty to dance at the wedding.

Our young friend W. I. Rodrigue, Esq,
is no longer connected with the Mechanics,
Exchange and hasn't yet made up his mind
whether to buy couple railroads or lay
back and live in elegant leisure on the in
terest of his wealth. There is some talk
about his contemplating emigration to an
other State before long-the state of matri
mony. The reported move will probably
depend upon the rather uncertain, dubious
contingency of his being able to persuade
the party of the second part to sign articles
of copartnership. Tony's former station
behind the bar of the Exchange is now fill
ed by Mr.. james Burke, whose politeness
and close attention to duty promise to make
him very popular among the patrons of
neighbor Reddington's establishment.

Gov. McEnery having commissioned Mr..
VIM. Rogers as Justice Of the Peace for the
eighth Justice ward Of this parish, sixty five
citizens Of the ward have signed petition
for the revocation Of the appointment. The
document alleges that good and sufficient
reasons for this action can be given, but
does not state what they are. We under
stand that Judge T. w. Brown, Sr., for
merly magistrate of the tenth ward, is the
almost unanimous choice of the citizens Of
ward eight for the position to which Mr..
Rogers has been appointed, and that the
same persons who have petitioned for the
recall of the latter's commission have sub
scribed to another petition for the appoint
ment of Squire Brown.

TOBACCO SEED.-Mr. VIM. Eggert, Jr.,
OF Eggert, Miller & Co., Cincinnati, dealers
in imported and domestic leaf tobacco,
sends Us several packages of choice Tobacco
seed and requests that it be distributed to
intelligent farmers in this parish who will
undertake to plant and cultivate it properly
according to conditions and directions
given in q circular which accompanies each
packet. Mr.. Eggert says the seed is from
the finest grades Of cigar leaf tobacco, and
he thus explains his reasons for desiring it
planted in the South:
The Northern States are rot progressing in
the quality of their crops of cigar leaf-entirely
the contrary is the case-and one of the leading
proper maturing and curing Of fine quality, ci-
gar leaf Another cause is probably that soils
are exhausted. or becoming SO. of the original
food elements, from long continued raising Of
hfn cigar leaf raisers have made use of sub
stances whose influence is such that each sue
ceeding seasnn records degeneration in de-
sirable qualities The tobacco produced keeps
mp in weight and spread OF leaf, but, as whole,
10 unreliable in burning qualities, is coarse,
harsh and woody, and not as attractive in APP
pegrsnce. IN taste or aroma. as in former years.
7. From necessity manufacturers of fine cigars
are now compelled to use imported cigar leaf
for wrapping purposes, whereas formerly the
domestic leaf was entirely satisfactory. Su-
'matra tobacco, for wrapping CIGARS is SO ex-
cetlent in texture and burning that the domes-
tic cigar tObaccOs, as now produced by the old
cigar leaf States, are disliked by manufacturers
OF fine cigars.
The remedy is-entirely different but choice
seed; a different soil, or one rich in organic
matter, and not yet exhausted by repeated crops
OF tobacco, and a different growing and curing
season, which latter is Of the greatest impor-
tance, And beyond the reach Of the Northern
States, CONSEQUENTLY believe that some one Of
the Southern States will eventually produce a
finer grade OF cigar leaf than any now pro-
Huced by any Of the Northern States.
We shall take pleasure in distributing
the seed as requested, and readers of our
,psper desiring to obtain a supply and will
ing to conform to the prescribed conditions,
should make application without delay, as
we have only small quantity at our dis
posal and first come first served" will
be the rule observed in its distribution.
Each packet contains seed calculated to
produce sufficient number of plants to
cover one acre of ground; these in turn
should give from 800 to 1000 pounds of to-
bacco, worth from five to twenty cents per
pound, according to quality.

from seed is to always have the soil of ever moist

principal interior distributing centers report
trade fairly active, influenced in some Instances
by local conditions that more or less favora-
bic; but the demand generally indicates that
feeling of confidence everywhere prevails. East
ern markets have been, for the most part, quiet,
compared with the activity that prevailed o fort
night ago, but this is nothing more than
sonable lull, and is to be distinguished from
the dullness that results from the presence
of any disturbing factor. The falling off
in demand is, perhaps, most marked in the dry
goods trade, which has just passed through a
period of exceptional activity and the fact that
manufacturers do not report any accumulation
OF stock is the best indication of the satisfactory
condition of this department. Cold weather has
not yet stimulated the demand for woolens and
other heavy fabrics, but this trade has only been
DELAYED, and sooner or later the demand will
make its appearance. The New York Shipping
