A GENTLEMAN, residing at Bayou Chicot,
auUuJ Twenty-Five naiIes- north of Opelousas,
gives the following account of the earthquake
at that place on the 9th inst:


About half past five o'clock on Sunday
morning (the 9th) there was sharp shock OF
an earthquake here. The shock was sufficient
to shake our house, heavy and substantially
built is it is, until all the lemons and joints
about il cracked and cracked as if the whole
concern was about to fall to pieces. But no
actual damage was done. The shock was ac-
companied by a noise like low, rumbug
thunder; and after the main shock. which
lasted perhaps five or six seconds or longer
there were two lighter ones, producing a rock
ing motion from west to east, the sensation
feeling to me in bed like the swinging of
hammock. The sensation conveyed by the
first shock was as if the house was about to
be crushed together. l felt the whole dis
tlnctly from beginning to end, as was lying
awake when the first shock was felt. The
whole thing did not last over ten or twelve
seconds. The poultry was all frightened from
the roost, and appeared to be very much ter
rified some dogs howled and others barked
Justify as if about to attack something. The
horses ran and snorted, and cattle were dis
turbed from their lairs, and appeared terribly
alarmed.

enormously, We think, concluded
that the city could be prevented by
law from issuing bonds to the Straight
Line Road. Accordingly, as he had
perfect right TO do. he applied for
an injunction, which was granted by
Judge johnson. For this exercise of
a legal right, the Courier insinuates
that he ought to be tarred and feath-
cred. We quote its exact language:


We suggest to the people of Evans
Vile, that this unseemly litigation,
and this mean attempt to override the
voice of our citizens, calls for con-

Our citizens may learn from this
extract what rapid progress we are
making towards mob law and anar-
chy, under Democratic administra-
ton. When the organ of the City
Council gravely recommends tar and
feathers for those who are only exer-
cisiug their legal rights, it is high
time for all classes to begin to inquire
what will ultimately be the result OF
such incendiary appeals. It will not

THE Roekport Journal complains
bitterly because of the efforts of the
New Albany Ledger to defeat the
Rockport Railroad. It says for a
year past the people of Spencer Coun-
ty have been earnestly engaged in an
effort to secure such a road, and yet
the enterprise has been opposed by
cities east and west of Rockport.
We think the Journal is wrong, so far
as our city is concerned. We have
done everything we could to aid that
enterprise. unless correcting a gross
mistatement in one of the Cincinnati
papers be regarded as a manifestation
of hostility. When one of the off,
GERS of the Rockport Road thought it
was to the interest of ais enterprise
to assail the North and South Road,
be had free access to our columns,
and used his opportunity literally.
Since then we have freely copied ev-
erything of interest to the enterprise
that has been suggested, save the gra-


tuitous advertising of the Cincinnati
subscribers to the road. as is done
by the Rockp0rt Journal. We think.


therefore, that the complaint Of the


Journal, that cities to the west of
Rockport are hostile to its enter
prise is not justified by anything that
has baen said or done in this locality.

SIMPLICITY IN DREss.-Few seem to

artiticc. Let a young woman, win no

great advantage for woman IN these
days of artifice, to remain herself, and
thus be unlike every one else. A simple
dress, white or black, will produce the
greatest effect when surrounded by gor-
geous costumes. These serve, as 1t were,
as frames tor the former, and women are

than to heighten by contrast the beauty

The proposition to give the officers

money for sinking the Alabama in June,

Captain J. Amrein's wife came to this


Office yesterday, and informed us that she


had not seen or heard any tdings from her


husband since the second day Of August,


more than five weeks ago. On that day he


was preparing to leave for Washington on


the third and left mis- house, at the corner
of White and St. Andrew streets, with some


business papers that required attention, to
| go down town for the purpose. When he
left home he directed his wife TO have his
| clothes ready for his intended journey to
! Washington the next day. Mrs. Amrein
| sion something less than two hundred
| dollars. After giving the directions about
preparations for his journey, he left the
| house and has not been heard from since.
Captain Amrein is German by birth,
but came to this State with the Twentieth
Ohio Volunteers. He was for three years
Provost Marshal ut Opelcusas, and was
subsequently appointed Parish Judge Of
st. Landry, by Governor Warmoth, in
place OF Adolp Garrigues who was AL
judged to be ineligible by Judge Porter
presiding in the District Court for the
parish Of st. Landry. The Supreme
Court, however, reversed tie decision,
and gave the office back to Garrigues.
This decision was rendered at Opelousas
about year ago. Captain Amrein then
moved to the city, and became interested
in some patent, the nature of which escapes
our recollection at this time but we believe
it had something to do with his proposed
visit to Washington.


His disappearance is entirely unaccount-
able. He left his home to go down into the
city. with the intent of returning as usual,
but to depart tho next day on the transac-
ton of important business. He left his
family, consisting of his wife and two chill
dren, the latter ten and six years old re-
spectively) unprovided for, with the excep-
ton of, possibly, supplies for day or two.
One or two creditors for small sums came in

tressed wife with demands for instant pay

louStO dDSctCC VI WITHOUT
means, and with but very limited
knowledge of the English language, is not
likely to stand much chance in the First
Justices Court, and the result could have
been foreseen at the outset.


But it is for the purpose of finding Captain
John Amrein that VIC have brought this
matter to the attention of the public. He
was well known, personally to many of our
prominent citizens, and was Secretary Of
the German Central Republican Club, of
which Captain Felix Spranley is President.
He was also personally known 10 many
officers and ex-ofhcers of the United States
army in this city.


ANY information concerning him Will be
thankfully received at this office. or by his
wife at her residence, which is now at the
place above stated.

This officer complains that he was mis-
represented yesterday merning by one of
our reporters, and that the correct state
ment of the case Is that he was called on by
Patrolman johnson to assist him in arrest
ing a woman who had disturbed the peace.
While they were doing this, lady came
and begged them not to arrest the woman
because she had child six months old.


Replying that he had nothing to do with
the arrest, Mr.. Creagh was accompanying
the other officer with the prisoner, when, he
alleges, the lady assailed him with epithets,
and continued to DO so, when, at length, he
arrested her also. Accepting this statement
as correct, it does not exculpate Patrolman
-Creagh from blame, for he clearly had no
right to arrest the lady who demonstrated
against the original arrest even if she did
apply unlady-hke epithets to him.


The charge he made against her of inter
fering with him III the discharge of his duty
could not be sustained, while the other
charge-of abusing him-did not amount,
under the circumstances to the paper it was
written on.


Judging from appearances, Mr. Creagh
has not sufficient control Of his temper to
render it prudent for him to serve on the
police, for everybody is aware that police
men are almost daily provoked by drunken
and obstinate prisoners, and by those
who are quite likely to sympathize
with the weaker party. And patrol
men should make it their constant
aim TO control their passions, and contine
themselves to their legitimate duty of
arresting those guilty of ofenses, protect
ing the property of citizens, and aiding to
preserve the peace.


Those who can not restrain themselves,
should not be entrusted with positions
where it is necessary that they should re-
strain others. To quote from the rules
governing the London police, we may add
THE more respectful and civil the police
are on all occasions, the more they will be
respected and supported by the public in
the proper execution of their duty
