A suit Against the Sheriff Of
East FeIicAmnm Parish for
DelimUuemey.

CLINTON, La, Nov. s.-District 8. At
torney ]. II. Stone has drawn and
will file iu day or two in the dis.
trict court here suit in favor of the
police Jury of the parish Of East Fell
ciana against w. E. Woodward, the
sheriff, and the sureties on his official
bond. The suit charges the deIin-
quency Of the sheriff In not collecting
and paying over the parish taxes and
licenses for the years 1884, 1885,
1885 and 1887, down to July Is,
1883, aud is for large sum.
The petition sets forth the failure
of the sheriff to make timely settle
meuts, especially annual settlements,
and asks per cent per month in-
terest on the various sums claimed
from the date when they were due,
aud also the forfeiture of his com
missions.
A peculiarity Of the suit ia that it
claims that the sheriff is liable for the
whole amount of all the taxes and
licenses due for these years, and
thereby puts the burden of proof OF
payment of all or any part thereof on
the defendants. The suit proceeds
upon the hypothesis that tho sheriff is
charged with the whole amount of the
taxes as shown by the assessment
rolls; that the assessment rolls ARE
prima fseia proof of their correctness
aud of the sheFiff's liability; that he
is presumed to have collected or been
able to collect the whole amount Of
the taxes as assessed, aad that he is
entitled to credit for what he pays
over and that he must show that the
balance was uneollectable.
1t also brings up questions eoneern-
ing deduction lists," and of how and
when they shall be prepared, au-
thenticated and deposited. Ia the
oath required of the sheriff to his de-
duGtion lists, he must state specifically
that he has exhausted all means given
him by law for the collection of these
delinquent taxes. He is required to
deposit these authenticated deduc,
ton lists in the recorders Office by a
certain date aud so rigid is the law
that his failure to comply with any oI
these requirements depriVes hm Of
the privilege of offering deduetlor
lists as credits.
The suit bids fair to be one of in
str6ction aud general interest,
1t may be remembered that the very
interesting and important suit on thC
subject of sheriff's liability for thu
collection of poll taxes, in whiCt
Judge |, d. Brame rendered an ex
haustlve opinion, was drawn and
prosecuted by District Attorney T. II
| Stone.
Judge Brsme has reCused himself
in thus case, aud appointed Judge
Buckner of Baton Rouge to Try th'
same. The suit will be tried on rules
in chambers and after ten days notice

Assistant Secretary Bussey 10 his
recent decision holds that ga dishou-
orable discharge does not involve the
forfeiture of a soldiers pensiopable
rights" In strong contrast to this is
the ruling of Commissioner Black, a
gallant Union soldier who left an arm
on the battlefield and was several times
wounded. He said "iL was not the in
tention of the government to allow
the rewards of honorable service and
honorable discharge to those who have
dlsgraced the service and abandoned
their comrades in the hour of peri" 5"
General Black is a brave and honest
soldier whose aim was to make the
pension roll a roll of honor on which
there wonld not be found the name
of any maa who through cowardiCe
ran like a scared rabbit every time a
bullet whIstlaa and left his comrades
to bear the brunt of the attack. Thou.
sands of whom were dishonorably DIS
charged from the Union Army for
cowaFdice are now drawing pensions,
and Mr.. Bussey thinks 1t is as ii
should be. The fact of the matter is
Bussey was not much ofa soldier him
self and if any ball pierced his form
during the war il must have been q
hssh-balI because there is, SO far as
tho country at large IS aware, no re.
cord to show that he distinguished
himself by "seekiug the bubble repu'
tation at the cannon's month" or
making his native land slippery with
his gore. Bnssey was appointed TO
his present position not for his acts
of heroism and self-sacrifce during
the war but for a purpose, Having no
record himself he has very little re-
gard for the brave men who are proud
Of the laurels they won, His mission
is to make votes for the Republican
party IN order that it may be main
tained il power, and 10 fact that q
man was kicked out Of the army for
cowardice or desertion IS a matter Of
no concern to HIM. He will gather
in the towards, The deserteFs and boun-
" Jumpers and camp followers and
make patriots Of them not American
patriots but Republican patriots, who
will vote with The treasury raiders 50
long as they get their portion Of the
spoils in The shape Of rerated pensions,

We fear this term of court will
leave the parish in debt owing to the
large number of witnesses who have
been kept in attendance. We don't
know who Ia to blame, but it does
seem as if little more care on the

useless extravaganza. 1t is said that
nearly 400 witnesses have been in at

Gretna Courier,
About two weeks ago 4 meeting Of
Anarchists was held Ia Chicago, at
which number Of very fiery speeches
we're made, principal Of them, in point
of venom, being that Of Schevitch, the
editor Of the New York Volks-Iei-
ttng. During the course of his re-
marks the audience--an audience Of
revolntionists and bomb-thFowers at
heart--loudly hissed the flag Of the
Union and as loudly cheered the red
rag Of anarchy and socialism.
The matter coming to the ears Of
the mayor Of Chicago, that official
announced that any one who did that
"should be drummed out Of town."
He was called upon BY scheyitch and
asked if be meant what he had
SAID, His prompt reply was that he
did. "The American flag said he,
'fs the banner of our free Institutions;
ii is dearer to all Americans than any
other on the globe, lit was hissed
here or at any other city on this coati-
uent, the men who did il are subject
to the severest censure. II what was
reported about that meeting Is true
| think the men who Kissed ID ought
to be drummed out Of town"
Commenting on the Mayors express
sion, the Cincinnati Times Star says;
That Is right. The stars
and stripes signify more than any hag
that floats upon the earth, II is pre-
cious for what 1t symbolizes, precious
because of the blood Of heroes that
has baptized It, precious because Of
the storms of battle through which
1t has swept victorious, precious be-
cause all the promises Of the years
to come SHINE in its cleaning folds.
1t carries with it the gospel Of liberty,
the creed of America, Men who cannot
accept that creed must keep away,
When the stars aud stripes on AmeTi'
can soil arc spurned, we are intoler-
ant. Either Loyalty accept the flag Of
the country or stay ont Of the country,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE ptsPArcH.i

ESPECIAL TEL LEGRAM TO THE ptsPArcH.i
NORFOLK, VA, August 5.-Jake Kill
rain visited Ocean View Sunday, and after
enjoying himself with Mrs. Kilrsin and a
party of friends who had sailed with him
across Chesapeake Bay from Hampton.
started to return home about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon. Before he reached the house
of Mr.. A. j. Ruth, where he has been
stopping, he was met by Hampton friends
and told that detectives were in town look
ing for him.
This of course caused panic, for, since
his stay at Hampton, Jake has felt as free
from arrest as fish in the water from being
captured with a hook. He has visited Nor
folk, been lionized at Old Point Comfort.
and, in fact, enjoyed himself everywhere.
When this huge calamity in the shape of a
detective was learned to be in town, the
first thing suggested was to hide.
PUTTING OUT TO SEA. ..
Thissis what the party did until about 8
o'clock this morning, then they embarked on
a cat boat and started from the ancient village of
Hampton across the Chesapeake bay, but this
vigilant criminal hunter, whoever he may be,
evidently suspected Jake's scheme to escape
by water and was equal to the emergency.
Hardly had the boat in which the pugilist and
q
through the fading and fast decreasing moon
light, q trim sloop was seen putting out after
them.
She was fast boat, and, although the Kill
rain party made every effort to shoot their
craft ahead by putting out every stitch OF can
vas, they were overtaken at O'Clock, when
about three miles off Ocean View. The first
news of the capture was brought to Ocean
View by some fishermen who were within about
100 feet of the place where the sloop ran along
side the catboat. They say that as the sloop
rounded the catboat she almost capsized her so
heavily did she strike.
A SENSATIONAL CAPTURE.
Two men jumped from her, and one, with
paper in his hand, and the other with re-
volver pointed directly at the pugilist, de-
manded that he surrender without resistance.
Kiirain gave himself up and was at once trans
ferred to the sloop. Mrs. Kilrain was much
asked that she be allowed to accompany her
husband. Her request was granted, and, with
the little woman and her big husband aboard,
the sloop turned her nose across the bay in the
direction of Old Point, followed by the catboat
with Kilrain's friends.
1t is thought here that Kilrain when arrested
was making for North Carolina. His boat was
pointing towards the capes and by sailing
close on shore after getting outside he could
three hours. Nothing has been heard of him
since he was arrested, but 1t is thought he was
put on board the steamer at Old Point Com
fort for Baltimore or Washington tonight, to
be sent from there South.
A Baltimore dispatch says that Kilrain is at
Hampton, Va, and intends staying there some
days, and that he has not been arrested.
