Recorder Houghton fixed bn the fourteenth instant for examina tion day. __ Sanford Johnson is in custody, as a se quence to the sudden disappearance of a carpetbag from the steamboat Natchez Accused went down to wait for an examina tion. __ Committed fob Trial.— Recorder Hough ton forwarded the papers in the following cases to the criminal court: E valine Faro, for dealing unfairly with C. R. Kinnear in stealing her gold watch. William Strander. for assaulting and bat tering Thomas Robertson, No. 47 St. James street. E. Boulin, for having concealed on his person a deadly weapon. Jo Fernandes Coloma and A. D. Angelo go down to answer for receiving stolen .goods from Moses Harris Eastman and Ed ward Higgins. The last two are tricky fel lows, they having obtained possession of a fine coat from Mrs. Ray, by stating to her that her husband had sent for it. Detective Pearson is prosecuting the case. T. Bowen, policeman in first precinct, died yesterday. He will be buried from No. 189 Tchoupitoulas street to-morrow. Sociable of the American Union Club It is safe to venture the assertion that not a single participant in the sociable given in Vegas' Hall, Thursday night, will soon for get the pleasures experienced on that occa sion. Many of those who attended retain fond remembrances of past similar events, -and expect to experience a repetition dur ing the present season. There is a charm in these gatherings that can not be found in a public ball, nor yet in a strictly private party. Thursday night's sociable was bat the first of a series, the ending closing in n grand ball at Odd Fellows' Hall. Means Something.— In the first precinct stationhonse is posted a small handbill ad vertising for an army of laborers. When healthy, strong-bodied men apply to Turn key Beggs for a night's lodging he calls their attention to the notice, by way of a gentle hint. This operates as a physic, for the man is not seen there a second time. Post a bill in every stationhouse. Coroner Creagh was yesterday called to a point down the coast, below Algiers, to hold an inquest on the body of the China man Antonio, who was killed and thrown into the river several days ago. The corpse had come to the surface and showed that the murderer had performed bis work but too well. There were several large wounds, either of which would have caused death. Little evidence could be obtained as to who is the guilty party. Counsel for D. F. Lechinsky now puts in a plea that his client is and has been insane for weeks. Accused was convicted of mur der in clubbing a prisoner, Charles Hansen, to death, in the Third District. A new trial is aske d for. _ The great steamer Natchez, from Vicks burg, arrived yesterday, bringing 2795 bales cotton, 3205 sacks cotton seed, and 18 sacks seed cotton.__ Criminal Court— Judge Abell. William Walsh, tried for shooting and wounding and attempting to kill Detective J. L. Smith, was acquitted. James Daley was declared guilty of at tempting to outrage a little girl only four years old. Joseph Samuels, convicted on the thirtieth of October of assault and battery, was sen tenced to pay 81 or in default to one day in Parish Prison. Perkins Frazer, convicted on the twenty 4 third ultimo of larceny, having stolen on the thirteenth of September some 8100 worth of goods from the reti re! fienee of Mr. William B. Hall. No. 97 First D street, was sent to tlie Penitentiary for one year. George W alker, convicted on the twenty ®Sird ultimo of burglary and larceny, hav ®®*itered, on the night of the twenty-seventh 'iSt September, the house of Mr. J. R. Irwin, o. 180 Washington street, and stolen ^lerefrom some goods, was sent to the J enitentiary for two years. Henry May, who pleaded guilty to as 'ult and battery, was fined 1 or one day l ci .rish Prison. D^rank Lewis, convicted of having stolen, the twenty-ninth of August, from James i; McConnell, No. 17 Peters street, goods valued at $260, was sent for one year to the Penitentiary. Jsw eo Kendrick, charged with forgery, who had pleaded guilty of obtaining money under pretences, went for six months to the Parish Prison. Accused had called on Messrs. W. W. Carre It Co., on the fourth of April, nnd bought a- lot of lumber, for which he offered a forged check, purporting to be signed by Mr. Marshall J. 8mith, and obtained the surplus change for it. The ease of Jack Low, charged with as sault and battery, was continued on account ot absence of counsel for defense. The case of John Rooney, a small boy, charged with assault and battery, in stab bing n boy named Thomas Gavin, was con tinued until Monday next. Billy Johnson, convicted of stealing a pair of gaiters from John Henry, on the eleventh of October, wae sent to the Peni tentiary for one year. The Pistol.— About eleven o'clock Thurs day night. Sam Berry, a sailor, twenty-eight years of age, an Englishman, was shot and seriously wounded in the right thigh, near the groin, by a man named William Keeper. It appears that the shooting was done at a sailors' dancehouse, called the Green Tree, on Galatin street, and had its origin in a quarrel relative to Borne of the damsels who frequent the place. William Keeper, who was arrested and locked up at the third precinct station, also, in resisting arrest, was accidentally shot in the fleshy part of the left hand. His wound was dressed at the station, and is not of much consequence. Berry was carried to the Charity Hospital, and his injury, it thought, will result fatally. The river is nearly fourteen feet below high water mark of 1862. The Grand Jury was yesterday taking evidence in the case of a city official. Lockjaw.— John G. Wright, planter, from Boliver county, Mississippi, died in the the Charity Hospital after a short illness. Before leaving his home he accidentally hurt his foot, but did not consider the wound in the least serious. Arriving here he found that he needed surgical attendance, but lockjaw set in aud it was impossible to save him._ Observations of Akenaaa. [From the St. Louis Republican.] Washington, October 31.—Attorney Gen eral Akerman having just returned from the martial law district in South Carolina, has detailed his observations and expressed his opinion with regard to the existence of the Ku-Klux in that State. He says that he has ascertained that it does exist under such names as the "Invisible Empire of the Sooth," the "White Brotherhood," etc., and that a majority of the entire white men of that section were in its membership or under its control; that its objects embodied in its oath were the defense of tbe constitu tion as it was. resistance to Radical inva sion, and the protection of widows and orphans, and tbe penalty of treachery pro vided by said oath is death. He further claims that ten murders have been committed, twentv colored school houses have been burned, and five hundred minor outrages committed in York county by the Ku-kiux in the last year; and that between 100 and 200 men bad recently fled tbe country to escape punishment. The attorney general thinks that most of these outrages were committed last March, and there have not been nmny very re cently. Many that belonged to the organ! zation have surrendered themselves, and confessed, on the ground, he supposes, of re ceiving amnesty. When he left Yorkville, ninety men had been arrested on a summary process and confined in the York jail, without a hearing and without bail. As to whether the pris oners would be granted a hearing or not be does not say, but claims that the Deparment of Justice has the right, under the Presi dent's proclamation and the Ku-Klux law, to hold them until the United States Court should assemble on the twenty-se.-enth of November. This is the official administra tion view of tbe situation. It is said that Attorney General Akerman informed the President that the punishment of corrupt officials in the South was neces sary to the sucsess of the Republican party in that section, and should go hand in hand with the destruction of the Ku-Klux, other wise there would be nothing of tbe party left in a very short time. A Presidential Candidate. Cincinnati, October 31.—The daily En irer ef this city, the leading organ of the imocraey of Ohio, and a recognized re presentative of the uncompromising wing of the party, will to-morrow contain an ar ticle expressing its preference lor the Hon Thomas A. Scott, of Pennsylvania, as its candidate for the Presidency. The article discusses Mr. Scott's peculiar fitness for the candidacy at length, the principal points be out Dei In n order to succeed the Democracy must select a man who can obtain a large vote outside of the party, and at tbe same time receive the cordial support of the organiza tion. The Eastern, Southern and all the old border slave States can be carried for any fair and honest man, but some of the large Middle and Western States must be secured in order to succeed. Colonel Scott, being strong in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, may be said to occupy a posi tion analogous to that of James Buchanan in 1856. Pennsylvania, holding the key to the Presidential position, must therefore be consulted. Colonel Scott having never been closely identified with politics, would neither awake resentment nor arouse prej u dice if placed at the head of the Presiden tial ticket. The Enquirer argues that Colonel Scott's >articular fitness for the Presidency is nxani Jested in the wonderful executive ability which made him the most successful rail road manager in the country. It assumes that Edwin M. Stanton was a good judge of men, and that his selection of Colonel Scott in the most difficult and trying part of the war as his assistant secretary, indicated a high appreciation of his fine and unequaled administrative talent. It believes that Colonel Scott thoroughly rmpathizes with the movement to restore _je government to its olu Democratic con stitutional basis, and concludes by saying that it has no feeling in the matter, but is sure that it will secure a victory for the friends of constitutional liberty, ajpd unless Grant can be beaten in 1872, the cause of free government in the United States may be considered as lost. A Washington special to the St. Louis Republican says: The government evidently intends to take precautionary measures to prevent trouble in Utah, and additional troops will irobably be ordered there. Delegate Hooper is daily expected here to appeal to the authorities to cease the prosecution of the Mormons there, and the overland rail road lines are said to be using their in fluence to prevent an outbreak. The Presi dent to-day removed the old district attor ney in Utah, and appointed a Chicago lawyer named George C. Bates. The Iberville Newt says of the crops: Several planters who had commenced grinding have been forced to suspend operations until the weather should take a more favorable change. Thus far very little sugar has been made, and the plant ers were disappointed to find the yield much lighter than they had anticipated, scarcely averaging a hogshead to the acre even in good cane. All the planters in tbe parish are anxious to begin rolling so as to escape the disastrous consequences of a freeze, and are making the final prepara tions wit h all speed. A Chicago bootblack has just bought $900 worth of property in Detroit, paying for tbe same in ten cent pieces. It took hours to count the tunda. This was all earned in the legitimate "Shine 'em up" trade in five years. 8PE01AL N0TI0E8.
