A Colored Inhte Bruta-lly Btchered by Its Grandmother. Ii. r mas, Desembsr 3O, 1SM. Again our little community has been shocked by a most atrocious crime com mitted in our midst about a week ago. A black woman on the Lacoul place, now rented by Mr. Hebert, had a girl baby about a week since, during the coldest weather of this season, and at night the grandmother of the infant took it from its mother and killed it in the most brutal manner possible. It was cut into seven pieces, its head was out from its body and it was wholly dismem bered in all parts of its body, and after this shocking mutilation it was cast over into the yard of the overseer of the place, by whose servant girl it wae soon found. The grandmother's atrocity dill not end with this discovery.; she was forced to remove the remains from the yard where they were found, and, seem ingly bent on disposiug of it, she orderedi one of her little boyu to throw it over in the adjoining cane field, where it was was found cast about over the ground, by the Constable. - The grandmother was soon arrested and incarcerated to await onr next Dis trict Court term. You may imagine, Mr. Editor, with what sorrow this new atroc ity was received by our commnnity, which is now crime-ridden. We have had asLot six murders in this ward dur the year. If I am to judge from the threats often heard, a desperate remedy will be applied to the next murderer. Yours truly, A FRIEND AND READER. ST. JAMES ITEMS.-The leases of ten public ferries of the pariah for 1883 were sold at public auction last Saturday apd brought $625 75. Of this sum the Court House and College Point ferries contrib ute $001, leaving only $24 75 for the ZAer eight.. The sum realized from the ferry leases for 188. was $339 85. According to the report of Parish Treasurer A. Damar6 submitted to the. PFlice Jury last Saturday, there is a balance of $1103. 01i in his hands to the credit of the various funds comprising thb parochial budget. The sale of property for delinqueut taxes was boguu on Saturday. There were but few bidders and only two pieces of property were sold-Mr. Asthur Colomub's, which brought $140, and that of Mrs. Coralie Morris, for which $25 was paid. Mr. Pierce Schipp was the purchaser in both instances. The saloe will be continued until the delihnquent list is exhansted. An unrsuccessful attemript was mado last week to burglarize the store of Mr. Leonce Lartignu. The rascals who tried to force open the store door were fortu nate that the effort failed, as Mr. Lar tignet was on the qui rive, prepared to give theme a sultry reception with a double-barreled shotgun. Mr. Gaspard Luft of St. Elmo store has received an anonymous warning that hlie will not be numbered among the living beyondl the month of March next. We glean the foregoing items fromn the columns of the CLrole Fireside. GRAND HOLIDAY SALE.-Mr. Mayer Levy contemplates closing out his Don aldsonville business and has authorized his popular agent, Mr. G.

It is desired to dispose of the entire stock' in thirty days and the goods will go like hot cakes on a frosty morning. Call on Cheap Charley without delay and msako a tip-top holiday bargain. Col. W. H. H. Tison, Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives, was shot and killed at aldwinu, Misa., on the 4th inst., by Mr. J. E. Sanders. A few days before the shooting Sanders was badly beaten by Speaker Tison's brother for alleged misconduct towards one of the latter's daughters, and the Speaker had . tbeen implicated in the difficulty to the extent of drawing his pistol and pre venting interference by bystanders in behtaif of Sanders. '.;anders stood in the door of his store, and as Cel. Tison cams down the street, emptied the couteunt of both barrels of the weapon into the Colonel at point blank range, causi:ng i::stant death.

I Items of Iutereet from the ~reheent "Oty by Our Regular Cor1espondelt. Nfw Oau;raw. December 1, 182. l EDnToa Cra'r: ' The comet is bIding in the eastern sky, but we observed a faint trace of it Wednesday evening, an epilogue, as it were, to the transit of Venus across the r disk of the orb of day. The clouded , condition of the atmosphere prevented a fair sight of the event so interesting, but observations taken at other latitudes were more perfect and pe are promised a full and satisfactory report of all relating to the grand astronomical event. The people of New Orleans have lately been aroused to a trai! of thought, and many ask themselves, "Can such things be as those presented by the Independ ent party " They have been educated to believe that they lived in a free coun try and that the Democratic party was the representative of liberal ideas and modern progress. They acted according to their belief, and if the experience gained is equal to the time lost our State may make escht.headway in the next decade that none will begrudge the fiery ordeal through which she has passed. A wrong is always a wrong; no matter who immediately suffers, it bus been committed, some one is criminal and it will revert in time to the detriment of all. The moral suasion of the people should be sufficient at all times to comn pel a just enforcement of the law. This is the 'essence of free government and with the people it rests. In the nineo teenth century it is the habit of people to be shocked at the torture inflicted upon men as equally enlightened as our selves, in their'banishment to the regions of desolate Siberia. Did it ever occur to the average man until now that these people so condemned were once as free as ourselves, and have been unlawfully deprived of their own by snlrersions of the rights of man and a wholesale dis regard of constitutional limits? We do not say that ench things can happen in free America, but frand bringing conten tion invites outside interference, and lih erty is sabverted and oppression takes its place. The hope of free government in America rests upon the integrity of the local administrations in the States. This is well understood by the citizens of New Orleana,':aud if we mistake not, the moral force of aroused public opinion will impol the courts to unseat the present illegal municipal government. The ax has been falling at a very lively rate in the granite building during the week, many changes having been made among the lesser lights. It seems that Third Distriet men are the chief victims, but it is nnderstood that others will come under the guillotine in a few days. Thelmost prominent appointment is that of ex-State Auditor Col. 8. B. Johnson, who has been made inspector of customs. Ilon. m'T. T. AJlain is after the position now held by Col. James Lewis as head of the warLhouse depait went. A committee of Third Distriit mnu was selected by the district exeou tive committee, composed of T. T. Allain, T. S. Cage, George Drury, Judge Fon tilieu and W. I1. Merchant, to proceed immnediately to Washington in the inter eats of their section. The Brush Electri: Light Company has proposed to the city government to light Canal street 4from Old Levee to Claiborne street with rthirt.y 2000-candle power lights, to burn from dark in the evening until daylight in the morning, and all for the modest sum of $250 per mouth, payments tobo made monthly in cash. The city is now rapidly getting rid of the gas lamps and subeditutiug the electric lights, mostor the business streets being lighted up with theim alreadly. The gas problem will not long trouble oear people. Sunday morning the unfortunate Mark Pennyw itt., late engineer of the ill-fated Morning Star, breathed his last at the Touro Infirmary, where he had been sent for treatment. At the time of the explo sion he inhaled some of the heated steam, and all efforts to relieve him were of no avail. His lbrotlmhenr took charge of his remains, which have been removed to Manchester, Ohio, fur interment. The arraignnment of the Garic brothers, Oscar and Lawson, took place at the Secoud Reeerder's Court the other day. Both pleaded not guilty and were ro :uaun-dd without benotit of bail. Oscar, who was suffering from a wound in the side, was, upon motion of Judge W. R. Whitaker, sent to the hospital. The tes timony elicited during the heariug shows plainly that Pat O'Brien was the attack ing party. His dying statement acknowl edged that he struck the Gariose rsat, but claimed that it was only in fun. The .deceased is kuowu to have been a chronic disturber of the peaoe, and saloon keepers who knew him were in the habit of closing their establishments on his appearance, if he was at all under the inriuence of liquor. Since the hearing detectives have discovered the store where the Qaric brothers purchased the pistol and knife which they uned so fa tally. The city government of New Orleans is from day to day getting into increased complications and incurring obligations which cannot be met. Inextricable con fusion seems to bhe the fate which awaits the alidermanic dynasty which to-day pretends to represent the people of this parish, bat which is no better than a bucket shop, run in the interest of the Board of Liquidation, known as the Syn dicate, and the bondholder. Judgme.nlt after judgment is tilel up agaiust.prop erty already depreciated, and the end is not yet; but if relief from some quarter dees not pat in an appearance there will be a grand smash-up one of these days. The beggar on horseback has wsll nigh ridden the poor old city to death. Thle Board of Liquidation drains the treasury, juJduiw ' which appear - never to be paid acicumulate, and the people's money is I, ittered away in a manner which does them no good, Peolple ask why should woe have - syudiicate when the city is Snit "in liqiidation," never has conferseid her been declared bankrupt, and with careful administratiora is erfdetlI sol vent, its just liabilities being merely nominal. The LegslJature interdicted I the people from doing their own businese by appointing the guardian Board of t Liquidation. It would be much better e for the taxpayers if the Inuited States d Court appointed a receiver-they Would a at-least know where the money goes and t the judgments would be easily wiped e out. I There is an election going on to-day in a the Third Ward to fill the vacancy on the Democratic Council cansed by the resignation of T. J. Semmes. No one but the hoodlum element is voting. The Independents and other respectable citi zens do not recognize the election, the a people believing that the Independent Council was elected, and the latter have s promised at an early day to make good their claim. As we passed a poll this morning we saw the spotless and truth e ful John Fitzpatrick and two others b vainly waiting for the first vote. As there is no opposition or United States r supervisors on duty there will no doubt t be a desaleof stufling to: make;up for r voters who remain at home. Democratic candlidates forthe vacancy caused by the death of General Herron f are as thick as huckioberries in May, and a lively fight teems imminent. Yours truly, W. H. Y. The Jesse K. Bell.

DrLaR (acHIE: A beotter hb;nt, conded'.by :more agreeable, accommodating and gentlemanly officers, has never booneantered in the Lafourche trnle; than the Jesso K. Boll. I met the genial and propos sessinrg Jon Ligronu, one of heri clorks in your town, andlro.eival from him a kind invitation which could not be resisted so cordially was it tendered to make a trip on the Bell in order to form the better acquaintanoo of all her officers, and I can freely say that I have been amply re paid for time so pleasantly devotedin the float over the grand bosom of the father of waters. The Jesse K.Bell is :?4rivor palace, fitted up with all the spl1nd.:- and magnificence of thore halslayoa read of in fairy tales.

Her Captain is no less a personago than that famous, skillful navigator, R. Sinuott, affectionately denominatedl by his friends "Dick." His name is synonymous with honor, reliability and all those traits of exaltod personal character that appertain to the first-ciass steamboatman. Can not what I have stated above without the least disposition to use undue terms of adulation to. Capt. Dick, apply as well to the sturdy, atten tive Capt. Frank Bergeron and the jolly, whole souled, handsomo Joe Lagrone, the competent t clerks of the J. K. B? It is writ as -ell'a be lieved in every sense by your correspondent. S. Himsl, 8r., and L.C.

His cheerful, happy face will well repay the visit. Mike Bird occupies the, responsible position of chief engineer and is equal to the arfnous duties imn posed upon him. The truth is, no steamboat that appears in your advertising columns can surpass the Jesse K. Bell in its complement of officers. I had the pleasure Zofoencountering our old friond, Ned Scannell, who has finished rolling. He expreesed $4O0,DU out of his fruitful and admirably managed saccharine fields this load of poles, and is consequently happy. Judge Raphael Beauvais. whom I had not met for sov oral years, was among the passengers, looking as gay, jovial and amiable as of yore. He also mado a large crop of sugar, and seems to feel like Ned 8. My trip was a very enjoya'ole one and I truast you and the craft will avail yoursolves of a sim ilar generous invitation to follow suit. With kind regards, I remain as ever, LETITERF FLOAT. Good Advice. You will prevent and cure the greater part of the ills that affliot mankind in this or any see tion. if you keep your stomach, liver and kid neys in perfect working order.
