HIS PECULIAR HOLD ON OFFICE
No one at the War Department
can foretell the result of the present
Investigations. so far as Col. Aims
worth's position in the army is con-
cerned. The President can suspend
him from his position as chief of the
office of records and pensions, but
cannot appoint any one else to the
place unless Col. Ainsworth is dis
missed from his place as a colonel
in the army, proceeding that can
be accomplished only by sentence
of court martial for cause. The
Office was created for Col. Ainsworth
by special act of Congress, and can
be filled by no other person until it
is vacated by him in the regular
way prescribed by army regulations.
An officer of the army being in
vestigated by a court of inquiry is
not necessarily suspended from the
functions of his Office, the theory
being that he is innocent of wrong
doing until the contrary is estab-
lished.

HOLD 1OUR COTTON!

A prominent gentleman OF this
parish has handed us a letter adj
dressed to the farmers of the South,
with the request that we publish it.
Il gives us pleasure to comply with
the request. We comment the let
ter to the farmers Of this locality
The plan suggested would undoubt-
edly increase TIE price of cotton il
it could be executed by a sufficient
number OF cotton planters. The tone
of the letter is as commendabIe as is
the object which it seeks to accom-
plish. 1t is far from any suggestion
Of violence or lawlessness. Every
man has an undoubted right to hold
his cotton as long as he pleases, pro
vided it is not pledged for supplies

Tuesday evening a mass meeting
at Lake Charles passed the follow
ing resolutions: Resolved, that
the citizens of Lake Charles do pub
licly aud solemnly protest against
the wanton insult openly heaped on
the fair name of Louisiana's daugh-
ters by a certain wandering troupe
of negro female half breeds who are
advertising themselves as "The Cree
ole Beauties constituting Sam 7.
jacks La Belle Creole Company,
and thus casting a slur upon the
name of the Creole families Of Lou
~isiana that have always been the
pride of the State. We urgently re
quest all fair-minded citizens who's are
unwilling thus publicly TO pronounce
the fair daughters of Louisiana as of
mixed blood TO resolutely turn their
backs upon this s~landerous show.

According to published notice
given by Postmaster Ahadie, the
mails this week have been just "a
hours behind time. This is owing
to the refusal Of the railroad compa-
ny to continue the accommodation
accorded the mail contractor Eraste
Mouton, in carrying the bags on the
train. This was a great convenience
for the town, as by it we were ena-
bled to get our mail the same day it
left New Orleans, tho daily papers
included. Under the present sched~
ule the mail leaves New Iberia at
2:l5 o. m. which is before the arri.
val of the New Orleans train, and
arrives here about 9 o'clock, an hour
at which the mails were formerly all
distributed and given out. Again
the mail leaving at 5 o'clock in the
morning the postmaster is obliged to
close the mail at night, thus making
it impossible TO reply to important
letters by return mail. Under the
former arrangement the postmaster
for convenience of the public always
kept the bag open up to the last
minute. We think the business men
should hold q meeting and make d
vigorous appeal to the Postmaster
General for a change i'll the existing
schedule and manner of transporting
the mails.

when a majority of cotton planters
can hold their cotton as long as they
choose to do so, FIVE cent cotton will
be a thing of the past.
But here is the letter
Eatehez. Miss.
Sept. %. 1893.
To tho Farmers Of the South
The price of cotton is in your own
hands.
England, France and the Cont
nent have a fine trade and are
largely under contract for their
goods,
The world was led to believe dn-
ring the summer that the current
crop would be 100000 bales aud
more than their requirements.
Since then, estimates have been
modified, but they still believe that
the crop is much larger than it is.
The Agricultural Bureaus Report,
if it means anything indicates q crop
less than last year. which it true,
would materially increase the price
Iof your chief product.
You have been accused OF holding
back your cotton!
Whether it he true Or false it has
had the effect Of advancing prices
one and Que quarter cents per pound.
As The market is principally in-
auenced by the movement Of the crop
the object of this letter is to suggest
to all those who have not urgent
liabilities 10 meet, that after Nov.
LIST, you keep all your cotton on your
farms, for a period of two weeks,
and then market slowly and watch
the effect on the market.
II sent to the towns or ports and
held, it has no influence, as it is
counted.
Others combine, and why not we ?
This effort TO advance the price
of our product no doubt will be
criticised by the ~spinners and buyers
of our cotton, and all kinds of evil
will be predicted. but since we ae-
complish our object we will be sat
isfied.
IT we socceed the farmers will
then know what to do in other years
when the price is below the cost OF
production.
Five copies Of this circular letter
are sent TO the Sheriff ofeyery county
in the Southern States, or a total oil
six thousand copies with the request
that they send them to parties III
their respective counties.
10 accomplish our object it will
be necessary for each one who re-
ceives d copy to read it to his neigh.
bors. bring il before the Allience, il
you have such an organization, and
in fact give it wide publicity SO that
on the day named, and tor two weeks
thereafter, not a bale be moved from

MARTIN BAGLEY.

In the matter of the preliminary
examination Of Martin BagleY charg,
ed with the murder of John FORD,
on the Gath day of September, A.
D., 1898. e..
The evidence in this. case was
concluded on the 6th day of October
1898, and on reques: Of Counsel, the
case was submitted on written argu-
ment.
The admitted facts show that
Martin BagIey killed John Ford on
the Oath day OF September, A. D.,
1898.
After a thorough examination of
the witnesses, and a full and COM
| pEete study Of the evidence, | am
forced to q conclusion adverse to
the application.
The circumstances surrounding
the homicide, aud those leading up
to the homicide, show no Justification,
excuse or legal provocation for the
deed. On the contrary, in my opin,
ion, the evidence produces that great
presumption Of guilt which makes
bail impossible under the law.

circumstances surrounding iG.
The Constitution prohibits ahso-
lutely bail in capital cases when the
proof is evident, or the presumption

After a full, just and fair applica-
tion Of the facts and circumstances
of the case, to this law, l am forced
to conclude that Martin Bagley
should not be admitted to bail.
It Is therefore ordered, adjadged

From a special to the New Or
leans Picayune, we obtain the foil
lowing account of a most unfortunate
affair in which the parties concerned
are well known here: "A very SEN
sational and almost tragical event
traaspired early Saturday morning
as a result of domestic trouble in the
family Of W. d. Huff, o mechanical
engineer, resident in the suburbs OF
Lafayette. 1t seems that owing to a
misunderstanding between Huff and
his wife, the two engaged in a scuf-
he, and during the melee Huff at
tempted to shoot his wife with q
short double barreled shotgun, sim-
liar 10 the weapon used by the ltal-
ians in the killing of Chief Hennessy
ZONE time since, in New Orleans.
WY III
Mrs. Bnrris, a sister to Mrs. Huff. at
this juncture interfered, and seized
Huff from behind, endeavoling to
disarm him. The enraged man then
turned the deadly weapon upon
Mrs. Burris, and fred backward
over his shoulder. The discharge
fortunately did 40 harm, but shat
tered his own hal to pieces. Had it
been an inch nearer it would un.
doubtedly have killed him. Consta.
BILE G sases, Of the city police, arrived
just 10 time TO prevent Huff from
effectualIy carrying out his murder
Gus purpose. Efc was arrested.
The affair created considerable
excitement throughout the commu-
nifty, as the family was well known
and highly connected. Some have
advanced The idea of temporary IN
sanity as the cause Of the rash act,
and this obtains considerable cred
ence, from the fact that Huff has FIR
several years been almost d helpless
invalid from the effects Of rheumatic
pains.
Judge Alien appointed Dfs. J. d.
Trahan and A. Gladu 10 examine
into the mental condition of Huff,
but the physicians have go FAR made
no report. Your correspondent in
terviewed the prisoner IN Jail, and
though well acquainted with Huff,
failed to recognize him until an ex.
PLANTATION was given. Huff protests
that he meant no harm either to his
wife or his sister, Mrs. Burris, aud
only tried to end his own existence
by blowing out his brains. His sis
ter, Mrs. b. he claims, attempted tc
prevent him. and in the scui1e the
weapon was discharged. Domestic
intelicity. he AYERS, moved him IL
attempt the terrible deed. Hut
showed the correspondent where thu
powder had burned his hair alnosi
to the scalp, and expressed strong
determination to repeat his unsuc
~eessful effort at elf-destruction.'
