Gen. Buffers Headquarters.

When General Butler, in 1862,
during the civil war, took possession
of New Orleans. he established his
Headquarters in the Custom House,
with a suite on the second floor OF
the building. The upper part at
that time was unfinished, and was
used during the war as a prison for
captured confederate soldiers. The
building was then known officially
as Federal Prison No. 6, and in it
we're confined some 1000 confed-
crate soldiers captured by Major
General n. p. Banks in his raid
through western Louisiana.
In this same building, VIM. Mum
ford who tore down the United
States flag from the L. S. Mint build
ing in New Orleans, after the Union
Army had taken possession, was con-
fined and tried before Military
Commissioner, and being found gull
ty, was taken to the Mint building
and hanged on the spot where. the
flag was torn down.
In September of 1874, when the
| Republican State Government WAS
| temporarily overthrow by the
white League" the Custom House
building was made the headquarters
| of the Metropolitan Police of New
Orleans, and it was in this building
| they found refuge when they fled
| from the charge of citizens, on that
memorable occasion. This build
! ing was also the refuge of a large
number of persons when the hurri-
cane of September 90, 1915 swept
over the city
! The building is in a good state OF
| preservation generally, and stands as
a monument to its builders, the ma
sonry throughout being in very good
condition, considering it's age, and
indicating exceptionally good work
manship-better than can be obtain
ed in the commercial market today.
AS the streets were paved and sur
face drainage systems installed, the
soil on which the Custom House
stands became more firm and solid,
and of late years no settlement of
the building has been observed.
Knowing that as soon as the new
Post Office and Court House, then in
course of construction, would be
completed, about fifty per cent. of
the offices in the Custom House
would be vacated, and it would be
an opportune time to remodel or
renovate the building the writer in
1914 submitted to the Supervising
Architect a report in detail describ-
ing the condition of the building,
and making an estimate and recon-
mendation for an appropriation of
$35O,000 for remodeling and placing
the building in a more modern con-
dition. This report was transmitted
to Congress and the amount recon-
mended was authorized.
AT the date of writing this article,
May, 1916, plans have been prepared
and approved by the various Depart
ments, and it is expected that a con-
tract for the work will be made in
the near future, and this work oil
renovating this old building may
form the subject for a future article
As is generally known, the con
tract referred to is presently near

HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP COURT
 HELD IN CLARENDON

''Oh, yes! oh, yes. the honora- ble Justice Court of Richland township, is now closed," cried the High Sheriff in Clarendon on Monday afternoon as Justice John Davis of Richland, finished assessing fines on a bunch of Dark Corner negroes who had engaged in a wild orgie of shooting up" an auto.
 The novelty of moving the Justices court of Richland town ship to the county site, was one of the newest legal procedures yet, but the mechanism of the equity mill worked just the same. as practically all of the participants of the shooting fest drew healthy fines. Earnest Reed. Butler Lee, Wm. Ratchet and Wm. Fitzpatrick were fined $50 each and Sallie Fitzpatrick paid $25 for her part of the joy ride.
 These Dark Corner negroes had evidently not been closely  canvassed for Liberty Bonds as they had the money to pay their fines and costs.
