The latest news is that Argentina
is about to adopt a retaliatory tariff
against this county which will
practically shut out all American
goods. 1t will be remembered that
during the pendency of the Dingley
bill one of the representatives of
that government, while travelling in
this country, predicted that his
country would adopt such a mea-
sure if the high duties contemplated
by the Dingley bill were adopted.
If Argentina adopts her %retaliatory
tariff, our growing commerce with
that country will be killed, which
will be considerable loss to our man-
ufacturers. The worse feature of
the situation is, that the example of
Argentina may be followed by other
countries which are already in an
ugly mood over the adoption of the
Dingley bill and have been making
threats of retaliation. Thus, we
may in the end have to swallow too
big u dose of our WI tariff medi-
cine.

ment and otherwise visited the
houses of some of these people, under
the plea of looking for violators OF
the quarantine regulations. 1t is
even reported that one of the qnaran-
tine guards stationed at the Grand
Bayou bridge led the crowd.
If this be true it Is most reprehen-
sible conduct and should be stopped
at once. If any one violates the
quarantine regulations he should be
arrested without delay, and if neces-
sary 70 make domici!iary visits to
find him. such visits should be made
in the broad hight of day by the prop
er officers, and without terrorizing a
whole community. We are informed
that proper affidavits have been made,
and that the matter will be investi.
gated. SO that we may know the truth,
and the guilty parties. if guilty par
lies there he, be sent before the
court TO answer for any delinquency.
There is ne need of buIldozing in this
parish to enforce the law.

ACCUSED OF POISONING HER HUSBAND.
Tom Freeman a colored laborer on
the Golden Ranch Plantation, died on
the 14th instant under suspicious
circumstances, The coroner was
called in and an inquest was held, re-
shifting in a finding that the deceased
had come to his death by poisoning
from a dose of syme poisonous iDgre-
dent administered nv one Mary Nc
Kinney. the woman living with hin,
as wife. The accused, Mary Mckin
new. is still ut large, notwithstanding
the sheriff's repeated efforts to capture
her.
jealousy seems to have been the
motive which actuated Ter In taking
the life of the deceased.
Since writing the above, Mary Nc
Kinney has been captured and lodged
in Jail where che now awaits trial.
She was caught on the Golden Rancho
plantation, on which the crime was
committed. and where she had been
in hiding. most probably, since the
death of her victim. When arrested
she was disguised in mans clothes,
and refused to halt when ordered,
which necessltated the use of force 10
capture hel. When spied by the
guard who captured her she was cross
ing a headlapd or clearing to go into
the woods adjoining, and upon her
refusal to halt, the guard shot her in
the shoulder with bird shot, which
brought harto and made her surrender.
The capture took place Thursday
and that same afternoon about
five O'Clock she was LODGED in jail. DIR.
Stark was called in and examined her
wound and pronounced it light.
Sheriff Beary had some guards on
the Golden Ranch plantation on the
look out for the accused since the time
he was informed of the murder and
aud left no stone unturned to capture
her. He has had deputies on the go
nearly all the time, and he is highly
pleased with his success in landing
his game. We understand the accused
has confessed her guilt. She gave
powders. she says, to her husband TO
keep him from loving any other wo-
man. She has succeeded remarkably
we'll in accomplishing her purpose.

Many are curious TO know what our

the worrisome deficits which they

Court business progressed fairl,

Court business progressed fairly
well this week. The Cancienne
case fixed for Thursday did not
come off, on account of the illness
of Gov. Knobloch, leading counsel
in the case, and the absence of some
material witnesses. The case ne
~cessarilv goes over until the next
tenn of ceurt. as this weeks Jury
was the last of the term. Thursday
the case of the State VS.. Clinton
Lane, charged with inflicting a
wound less than mayhem on Mr.. J
B. Lusignan last May, was tried,
and attracted some attention on ac-
count of the plea of insanity set up.
The jury evidently took no stock in
the plea for after celebrating nearly
three hours, returned a verdict of
guilty as charge.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The Bank of England return has been
a complete surprise to the market. The
feature is that the bank has lifted about
ga, 900 from the market, as shown by
the decrease, $4,000, COO in other securities
and over 900 in government securi-
ties. 1t was generally known that the bank
was borrowing, as was cabled to you ear
lier in the week, but the market had esti-
mated such borrowing a about 1000 900
only. The reserve is up only e20O,O00 in
coin and bullion and down Elf, COO, which,
as 417O,00O in gold was exported for the
week, shows some return from home cir
culation. The details of the gold for the
week are 6S7000 in eagles sold; 8120 600
to the continent and 100000 to Malta. I
can now affirm that the recent withdrawal
of eagles was for Germany, not for Amer
lea. In consequence of the banks return
discount houses have raised deposit rates
by "A per cent to ~ and III FOR call and
notice money, respectively. Regarding op-
erations between New York and London
l am assured that the statements as to
large loans from New York banks to Lon
don are grossly exaggerated and this ac-
cords with the New York cable to the
Times this morning. None the less, on this
prospect of future gold shipments to Amer
lea l would prefer to make no assertion,
beyond the fact that eagles are going to
Germany, and that the supply of American
bills is falling off. 1t Is believed that the
bank rates may rise before long. The Paris
and Berlin markets were idle and quiet,
and since the bank return, rather dull,
consols leading. On apprehensions of dear
