THE SOUTHERN CRISIS. Ymporta: Reports from Columbus, Ga., Baton Rouge, La., and Charleston. The Cotton States to Secede on the Third of March. Interesting Letter from Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, Rey Rey ke. IMPORTANT FROM GEORGIA. ‘THR PROGRAMME OF THE SECESSIONISTS—THE 3D OF MARCH FIXED UPON FOR THE CATASTROPHE— RESIGNATION OF SENATOR CLAY. Couwmnes, Ga., Dec. 11, 1860. I have recently travelled through all the principa cities of Georgia, and find the disunion feeling every- where overwhelmingly in the ascendant. Efforts are being made by leading men in the cotton States to obtain agreement on the following pro- gramme:— 1,—Each cotton State is to secede immediately upon ‘the assembling of their several Conventions. 2.—They are then to confer the powers withdrawn from the federal government upon their respective ‘Legislatures, and said powers are to be assumed by said Legislatures upon a day iixed by agreement between the States. 8.—The 3d day of March will be the day agreed upon af the seceding States consent to this arrangement. Senator Clay, of Alabama, has resigned his seat in tho ‘United States Senate, to take effect on the 4th of March, provided Alabama does not secede, He is now in Lou- isiana, in such a state of health that it is feared he may never return. A mass meeting was held in this city to-day and dele gates nominated to the State Convention, They will be elected by an overwhelming majority. Columbus has hitherto been decidedly ultra in its Unionism. IMPORTANT FROM LOUISIANA. MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE—MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR. Baton Rover, Dec. 10, 1860, ‘The extra session of the Louisiana Legislature com- ‘menced to-day. The Governor's message was delivered. He exhorts calmness and deliberation. He says the elec- tion of Mr. Lincoln shows that the Northern mind is poi- soned against the South; that the wise counsels of our fathers are forgotten, and the fraternal remonstrances of tho South are disregarded. He recommends a Conven- tion, and says Louisiana ought not to refuse to meet her sister slaveholding States in council to demand of the North the repeal of her obnoxious legislation and guaran- tee against future similar measures. He says these ques- tions should be met before the inauguration of Mr. Lin- coin, because the self-respect and honor of the State does ‘not comport with her remaining under a black republi- ean President. Aresolution recommends the erection of a military ‘board, and asks an appropriation of half a million for the purchase of arms for volunteer companies. ‘The members aro not disposed to act hastily, but are in favor of preparing for any emergency.

In form the election was in strict accordance with the regulations prescribed by the constitution and laws. The objection to it is that it ‘was effected by a purely sectional party, orgauized upon the principle of hostility to slavery, and having for its prime object the repression of slavery as @ permanent ad. more derect atark. t it is clear that the federal ment was estab. ee a Purpose or object; for, however «trong- ly many of the framers,of the constitution wore oj to Blavery, it is notoriou® that it was owing to their for- ‘ance W insist upon their objections to the clanse in the instrument, providing for the rend of fugitive slaves to their Owners, tat wo have any feceral Union. It was upon this question that the Convention was at one time upon the point of breaking up in confusion.

The election of Mr. Lincoln, by # sectional party, organized and sus tained upon the distinctive principle of oppositisn to slavery, as it exists in the Southern States, and avowing policy of its repression, and final extinction (by pro- hibiting its extension into the Torritories), was a bold experiment upon the tempor and forbearance of the South, aud upon the strength of their loyalty to the Union: This experiment, if not conceived in a spirit of disunion, wae made with a reckleas disregard of conse. quences.’ No greater strain upon tho ligaments which Dind the two great sections of the country wgsther could be devised, than the attempt to establish or inaugurate a wrmanent government policy upon such principles. The Pite Harrison Gray Otis, of Hoston, one of the most dis tingnished and able of New Engiand statesmen, when called , in 1885, to give the weight of hia name and influence in checking the further progress of a rabid abo- ition spirit, then beginning to dilfuse itself over Massa chusetts and other States of the Bast and North, in a speech delivered in Faneuil Hail, dtd not hesitate to ex presa the opinion that the plins and designs of the aboli tion societies, or, as they were then called, anti-slavery ‘associations, contemplated such an interference with the domeetic policy and institutions of the South as would be a violation both of the spirit and letter of the constitution, ‘and were, in fact, revolutionary in their character and Tam not able to discriminate between the character rit and tendency of the anti-slavery principle an ithe slavery repression policy of the repeblican party , consi tiered” ta Tounection with the torrent of inflammatory publications and invectives against the domestic tnstity tions mon Telations of the South, which is — ured republican journals and orators. and the Character, tentonty and Soaee of the abo! rele. ties, and the incendiary pablications which flad their way to the public onder their auspices.

In stating the exceptions which mag be fairly taken by thf South to the election of Mr. Lincola, I have purposel presented, in the strongest light, the dangors to which Southern rights and interests are exposed, that it may not be su] that I had not considered or coma] hended the full extent of the injurious consequences which may result the present menacing attitude of the North upon the slavery question, before I formed an opinion upon the grave question, whether the election of . Lincoln, in all its bearings, togother with all the pre- cedent grievances of which the South have aright to =. furnish any sufficient cause to justify the sur- ren by the Southern States of their interest in the rich and glorious heritage of the Union, and to seek safety and the undisturbed enjoyment of their rights in a South- ern confederacy. With this explanation I am now pro- pared to say, unbesitatingly and unequivocally, that it would not; and the confidence I feel in the solidity of the inds_ upon whiah I give this answer will be justi- fled by the following consi — 1. Mfr. Lincoin, bis well known, docs not hold ex- treme on the ject of slavery. It is certain he he has Roe mate opinion that the ‘South has a constitutional right to demand the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave law, and that under cer- twin circumstances he would feel it his duty not to op- pose the admission of a new slave State into the Union. His declaration on this point is little satisfactory to the South; but neither that declaration nor the opinion ex- pressed by him on the subject of the Fugitive Slave law is at all satisfactory to the extremists of his own party. Upem the whole, sf Mr. Lincoln's public di on the subject of slavery are to be consideres as the true enpo- ments of his future poticy, in to extreme men of his party (and it is just and fair to pre- sume that he does possess that virtue), mo serious mis- chief need be je deureng his y yo the usual aitending the perpetuas agriation of Slavery issues. 2. But it is assumed by some that Mr. Lincoln has dia- guised bis true sentiments; that his truc character has not been understood, and that he will be under the control of the worst men of his party. I do not think so. Ihave every confidence that bix future policy will be found to be in strict conformity with his past declara- tions. But apart from this, it is now generally known that he will be powerless for mischief, except to a very limited extent, during the first two years of his adminis- tration, unless the Southern senators and representatives elected to the next Congress should rashly, and, as [ think, inexcusably resign their seats or retire from Con. gress and thus voluntarily surrender the control in both ouses to the Fepublican party, which surely they will not do. Wath both opposed to hvm, Mr. Lincoln can- not appoint his Catanet ministers or fill any offices of high grade without the assent of the Senate, or wndeed of any wnfe- rior grade above that of a clerk or petty deputy . He wall be able to carry no measure connected with the sub- ject of slavery which does not commen! viself to the South and ‘the conservative members from the North. 3. As to any apprenensions that the republican party, encouraged and stimulated to further efforts by their late success, may be so strengthened in the result of the elec- tions of senators and representatives in the meantime as to obtain a majority in both houses of the Thirty-eighth Congress, that is, during the last two years of Mr. Lin- coln’s administration—while it may be well to regard such an event as possible, the strongest reasons exist for the confident belief that no such unfortunate result will attend the elections in the North, which are to decide the complexion of the Thirty-eighth Congress. Of the whole number of votes cast for Mr. Lincoln in the recent election, from my own personal knowledge, and from information received from other sources, of the sentiments of the South, and especially of those of the Middle States, and the States north of the Ohio, lam sure I hazard nothing in stating that a large number—at least one-third—are devoted to the Union, and, alt bo opposed to slavery in the abstract, have but little sym- pathy with the republican party, and would be sincerely glad to see the slavery controversy between the two great sections of the country ily terminated. They supported the republican candidate in the late election, mainly influenced by their strong and inveterate feelings ition to the democratic party, believing that Mr. was the only available candidate in the tleld to defeat tbat party. 1am also well satisfied that not more than one third part of Mr. Lincoln’s supporters are so extreme in their anti-slavery sentiments, aud are animated by so intense a hatred of the South, as to be either wholly indifferent to the effect upon the Union of the policy of the republi- can party, or actually desirous of a separation of the free from the slave Staies, Of the remaining third of Mr. Lincoln's supposters, I think I am warranted in saying that they are attached ‘to the Union, though anti-slavery in their sentiments. They joined the republican party’ as a retaliatory measure, ‘adopted in resentment of the repeal of the Missouri Com: promise, which they regarded as little less sacred and inding than the constitution, and in further resentment of the attempt to force the Lecompton constitution upon: the people of Kansas. But now that they have so signally triumphed in the late election, and im view of the evils already inflicted upon the country, and the still greater evils to be apprehended, they will be content to cease the war upon Southern interests and feel: For the foregorng reasons I feel co that the Thirty. Congrest will exhalst d falling off in the strength the republican party snstead of an increase. 4. AU of the ances the South may , cam Le redressed in the Union. As to the indignity, not to say insult, offered to the South, of noni nating and electing the candidates for the two highest offices of the government by a sectional party, on principles which practically excluded the South ern States from a voice in the election, con trary to established , and in violation of the spirit of the constitution: they may be pardoned for the sake of » and harmony, and in consideration that the South has not been guiltless of having contributed, and that in no small degree, to increase the violence and as perities of the slavery controversy between the two sec tions. In expressing the opinion that all grievances may be redressed in the Union, Lintended to exclude other greater offences which have been apprehended from republican domination aud which are of possible occurrence. How they shall be redressed, should they unhappily occur, will call for new counsels; but ‘‘suilicient unto the day is the evil thereof.” The exiating grievances are the obstructions interposed by some of the non-slavebolding States to the prompt and faitliful execution of the Fugitive Slave law, by what are called Personal Liberty laws, and the refusal of the Go- vernors of several of those States to surrender fugitives from just a the slavebolding States in those cases in which the crime imputed to the fugitive is the abdue tion or stealing of slaves. Some a legislation by Congress may mired to secure the surren fugitives, Dut the due enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Jaw is all that is required to redress the grievances arising abduction of siaves from the Southern from the escape and: yy A = means tehich may be thrown in the way to defeat it. If he meglects ow fails to see ti execuled, he ts liable to impeachment. The next subject which I purposed to myself to notice briefty is the doctrine or theory of secession, which, as I understand it, is the right claimed to exist under and by the constitution, in the exercise of which a State may withdraw from the Union, whenever a majority of the citizens may decide to doso, for any cause whatever. For it is quite immaterial whether any grievance or wrong sustained at the hands of the co-tates or by the action of the federal government, is set up to justify the exercise of this right or not, inasmuch as the people of the seceding State, under this theory, claim to be the sole tribunal or judges to decide whether any such grievance or wrong has Leen inflicted, and upon the ex tent and sufficiency of the wrong. In fact, the theory of secession the right of a State to dissulve its connection with the Union at discretion: and the whole question resolves itself into this: whether the federal union, a8 it now exes, and as it was intented to be by its framers, is anything more than a voluntary asso- ciation of States for common defence and other objects of vital importance to their interests and prosperity, car rying with it no binding obligation upon any one of the States to yield obedience to the federal government any r than such State should consider it expedient. T ne toenter into no elaborate argument to demon. of this theory and to show that ed by the constitution ether to States or to the people. has often been done by abler pens. I must be permittod, however, to say that when its natare is properly defined and its logical and necessary consequences are candidly statod, its absurdity st strike the commonest understanding. Ite anrea sonablenes® and folly, aside from ite absurdity, will be illustrated by « single example:— ‘The posseesion and control of the mouth of the Miasis sippi was held to be of such vital importance to the inte: reeis of the people inhabiting the Valley of the Misaissip Pi, 1a Detag the great outlet to market ofthe rich products of their soul, as to make its acquisition, either by purchase of conquest, a gr" t political necessity, The purchase was made by the United States, for that reason, at a cost of fifteen miil dollars, it was stipulated in the treaty of ceasion that the Territory thei 1 should be admitted into the Union as a State, or States, with all the rights and privileges of the other States of the Union. But can it be supposed that Mr. Jefferson and the other great statesmen of that day, if they interpreted the constitution as the advocates of the theory of seoession now do, would have been so ineMably pid and blind to covsequences as to have assented to a stipulation? Far wiser and better would it have been to have paid five times the price and to have held the country a8 a subject province, having first amended the constitution so as to authorize such ® holding. And should Lowwiana now secede from the Union and set up an independent government, in the exercise of the righ of secession—even supposing the right to exist—can there be any doubt that the same commercial and politi @al necessity whieh lend to its oriqtinal acquisition would lead to its subjugation by the governmont of the United Statee, or by One ee id navigation of the Miseiseipp! river and its tributar After dee Cnatdcraten of the cubgect, wath be A rence to the opinions of others, Lam forced to the conclu that secessvom ts but anvther name for an organised rasustrince by a State to (he laws an constduted authoral es of the Tron, or, which te the same thing, for resolution, Tho theory ap- Pears to mo to have been conesived and propagated in a spirit of disaffection to the Union, and can serve no othor Parpose than to lead the unsuspecting and cretulo is into the eupport of the scheme of disunion, unter the dylusive expectation that they woul only be thereby exeroBing a right reserved to them under the constitution, amd that they would be in no danger of incurring the ponaities of treason, or of exposing themselves and their country to the calamities of civil war. In the preceding pages of this letter I have attempted to show that the frianes of the Union tn the Sour should nat deapanr of obtaining redress from the North, of alt ovat no such right was res ciency of existing grievances tojustify a disruption of the Union—men whose imaginations have been taken posses- sion of, and their judgments led captive, by the dazzling, but, as I think, délusive vision of a new, great, and glo- rious republican empire, stretching far into the South, The scheme of disunion, as I have reason to believe, has been long cherished by some of these leaders, and they have only waited a pretext more plausible than soy here- tofore presented to attempt the accomplishment of it. What between the inflammatory appeals and highly colored and exaggerated story of wrong and oppression already endured, and tho still more intolerable ion to be anticipated from the fanatic spirit of the North, on the one hand, and the glowing pictures and seductive re- presentations of the grandeur, power and prosperity of the bew romubilo on the other hand, # is not that @ o pipaation egainat the dictates of cheir aber ‘And it is asad reflection that upon the hee return of this class of Southern citizens to wiser and more temperate counsels may depend the fate of the Union.

Ido not forget that I am addressing, through you, brave men who are ready to die in vindication of their honor or in defence of what they believe to be their rights; I do not appeal to their fears. But whatever may be the inal decision of the people of Mississippi upon the gravest question ever presented to their consideration, and which must deeply affect the re- lations existing between them and the people of Tennos- see, and of every other State of the South, I can not bring myself to the conclusion, all the existing evidences to the contrary, that Mississippi will take upon herself the responsibility of doing an act that would expose the peace and security of her sister States of the South to direct and imminent danger, and perhaps decide their destinies for weal or woe forever, without previous consultation with them, and first exhausting every peace. able mode of redress for the grievances of which she complains. In a community of independent States or sovereignties, if any one of them should pursue a course which would put in imminent peril the peace and security of the other States, without first exhausting every means of peaceable redress for any grievances of which she might complain, they would be justitied by the law of ations in making common cause against her, and in pre- venting her by force, if necessary, from pursuing such course. being ‘the responsibility attaching to the action of one of a community of separate and independent States, how much grearer would be in- curred by ome of the Southem of this Union, in adopt. ing the ae measure of breaking “up ihe Union, ani J Serge reeeee ie Soares Motes fleets ‘These interesis are common to them all, and the grievances quences certain to ensue b? confined to the State adopting the rash measure of secession, the other States might not feel called upon to protest against it.

Retarn of t Young Carpenter—His History—Probatility of His Insanity About half past twelve o'clock yesterday afternoon Capt. Caffrey, of the Fifteent) precinct, returned from Susque- hanna with Alfred Bucdanan, the young carpenter sus- pected of being the marderor of Mrs. Sarah Shancks, at No. 22 East Twelfth street, on Friday morning last. The prisoner was conductec to the General Superintendent's office in a close carriage, and there identified by severa witnesses, Buchanan's hands were both badly cut, one of them apparently with a knife and the other with glass, He seemed very much agitated, and is evidently laboring under strong mental excitement. THE CAPTURE. From what Captain Caffrey says, it appears that the prisoner, on his arrival at Susquehanna, inquired for a resi dent of the place named Springstein. Buchanan knew a brother of Springstein who worked in the Methodist Book Concern in this city, and thought through this ac quaintance to make himself known in Susquehanna. Springstein, on hearing of the stranger's arrival, soight him out and took him to bis house, Buchanan was thankful for the hospitality evinced towards him, and after supper on Sunday evening be proceeded two an outhouse to sleep. While there Springstein noticed that the stranger's hands were cut, and that upon his re- moving a bandage the wounds bled afresh, These cir. cumstances, together with the somewhat agitated appear ance, excited the suspicion of the host, and, after duly weighing the matter, he arrived at the conclusion that he was harboring the suspected murderer of Mrs. Shancks. He accordingly repaired to the office of Justice A. J. Seymour, and, making the necessary affidavit against the prisoner, had him arrested. ‘When taken into custody the prisonder seemed greatly agitated and trembled violently. He was asked if ho was not the person who killed Mrs. Shancks, when he re- plied that he did not know such a person. Subsequently, however, he admitted that he knew the deceased, but denied all knowledge of the murder. Ie was placed in clone custody, and the authorities in this city were tele. graphed to in relation to the matter a8 previously re- ted. “M18 RETCRN WITH CAPTAIN CAPPRRY. When Captain Caffrey arrived at Susquehanna he found the villagers ina high state of excitement, and eager for all the particulars relating to the murder. He was at once conducted to the hotel and ushered into a room where the prisoner was confined. After conversing with Buchanan a few moments the officer announced his determination to retarn to New York by the first train. Acoordingly he made all the necessary preparations, and on Monday evening he started om his journey, accompanied by the prisoner. THE PRISONER EN ROUTE. One of our reporters who was on the cars thus de scribes the incidents of the journey — ‘The morning train on the New York and Frio Railroad ped at sev ‘clock, a# usual, at Port Jery is, eghty eight miles from the city, to allow the passengers time to breakfast; and it was here that the officers came on board, with their prisoner. Soon after the train began to move it was whispered about among the passenger that a murderer, chained and manacied, was ja one of the cars. Everybody had been reading Saturday's Haran, which contained the full particulars of the dread ful deed, and every one asked his neighbor if the person in custody could be ‘the young carpenter” at wiom suspicion had pointed so struagly’ All doubt upon this point soon vanished. The prisoner was indeed “the young carpenter.” APPEARANCE OF THE PRISONER. ‘The prisoner was seated upon the forward seat of the car, with the officers on each side of him. He was s« curely manacled, but in such the partial use of bis hands.

His hands were covered with large wooilen mitteus of a dark color HIS CONDUCT AND GENERAL DEMEANOR. Without any affectation of nonchalance, the prisoner really seemed, at times, entirely unmoved. During the greater part of the time he occupied himself in gazing out the window next to which ho sat and watching the quickly changing times something very like tears seemed to gather in his eyes, but these he never wiped away; they seemed to become absorbed again, and soon disappeared. After a time he drew off his mittens, one after the other, and examined his with great interest and minuteness. They were both gashed and cut dreadfully and in the most remarkable manner. The wounds were not such as would be inflicted by a knife or a dagger, but rather such as might be caused to one who had dashed his hand through a thick glass window, or in whose hands a glass bottle had been broken to fragments, Some of the fingers had been rudely bound up in strips of white muslin. Some of the wounds appeared still to give him much pain, and he picked at them as if desirous to ex- tract some painful foreign substance. Tho left side of his face was also scratched. He * appeared entirely disinclined toconverse. Toa few goneral questions he returned eva- sive and unsatisfactory replies, and had evidently deter- mined to say as little as possible, HE READS THE PAPERS, At Turner’s, forty-seven miles from the city, the news- boys came onboard with the morning papers. A copy of the Hxratp was handed to the prisoner, and passing over all the other matter without a glance, he literally devoured the two articles relating to himself. As he read them the muscles of his face twitched convulsively, and his countenance turned to a deadly 3 the train approached nearer and nearer to the city his agitation became extreme. No one could look upon him and not feel pity for his condition, even supposing him to be guilty. And the question’ would intrude itself; How could one 0 young commit such a horrid crime? All along the route the excitement among. the villagers was intense, and the utmost curiosity was exhibited to catch a glimpse of the young carpenter who had rendered himself so notorious in connection with one of the moat horrible murders that was ever perpetrated. Captain Caffrey was afraid of some popular outbreak, and accord- ingly kept the prisoner as closely confined a8 possible. ‘On the arrival of the train at Jersey City a large crowd assembled, in anticipation of his arrival. He was imme- diately placed in a close carriage, and driven by a cir- cuitous route to the ferry, the crowd running along in the wake of the carriage, HIS APPEARANCE AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS. During tho day Buchanan’s father visited the General Superintendent's office and had an interview with the Prisoner. The parent seemed very much affected by the situation of his son, and gave vent to his feelings in toars. Mr. Buchanan said that the prisoner was absent from home on the night preceding the murder, that on Friday forenoon, about 11 o'clock, he appeared at the house with his hands cut and bleeding, his face scratched, and his clothes stained with blood. His mother, who was alarmed at his absence, asked him where he had been the previous night, and what happenod him. He tried to smooth over matters by saying that he had a difficulty with some man in Mercer street, and that the wounds were received in warding off blows aimed at him by his assailant. His excuso seemed a plausible one, and nothing more was thought of the incident until Saturday morning, when Mr. Buchanan, seeing an account of the murder in the news- Papers, at once suspected that his son was in somo way implicated in the aifair. Accordingly he qnestioned the prisoner closely in relation to hig ent hands and bloody clothing, but the latter stontly denied all knowledge of the murder, and reiterated his story about the fight in ) ‘er street, wards evening on Saturday the prisoner mae some excuse about going down town on business, and taking his departure quictly left the city. Nething more was heard of him by his parents until the news of his arrest arrived from Susquehanna, on Monday, and it was not until the parents were thus assured of his flight that they were fo to beliove in his guilt. When confronted with his father, yesterday, the prisoner said that he was on bis wi to see an uncle of his who lived at Chicago when he was ar- rested. Buchanan had previously told this story to the Felice, and in relating itasecond time he varied but ittle, HOW HE ACCOUNTS FOR IIIS WOUNDS. When asked to account for the maimed condition of his hands by the police, he stated that he meta stranger who asked him to drink; that they went into a saloon and after partaking of several drinks were about to leave, when they were insulted by one of the inmates. A row then ensued, he says, when he drew a knife to devend himse'f, and while doing so cut his hands, His hands bear no less than six cuts, some of them appearing to have been inflicted with a knife and others with a jagged edged instrument such as a piece of crockery. The prisoner's face is also scratched, as if with finger nails, and the injuries were no doubt® inflicted quite recently. He says that these scratches were also received in the barroom fight, but his manner in accounting for the injuries was not straightforward or likely to i mpress the we with the truth of the statement. During his detention at Police Headquarters Buchanan was Visited by the District Attorney, Coroner Jackman and Mr. William Smeaton, the son-in-law of Mrs. shancks. At four o'clock the prisoner was placed in a carriage and conveyed to the Fifteenth precinct station house, where he was locked up for the remainder of the day. ‘To-day he will be brought before Coroner Jackman on the in quest, and what disposition will be made of him there remains to be seen. The feeling as to his guilt sgems to be universal. fhe evidence against him is purely circum. stantial, but it is of such a nature that few can believe ‘the unfortunate man innocent. HISTORY OF THE PRISONER. Alfred Buchanan is a native of this city, and is about twonty years of age. Ho is tall, slim built and light complexioned, with a sinister and rather bad expression of countenence. For years past he has been subject to fits, and was much reduced in flesh in consequence. His parents reside at 137 Kast Tenth street, always maintained an excellent character for industry and ty. Buchanan was ia the habit of attending lectures on peychology when he ws a mere lad, and the ffect upon him was extraordinary. He was invariably attacked with fiteon his return home after attending these lectures. His manner, too, was strange and bor- dered on insanity, Things went on in this way fora ear or more, when the malady seeming to increase is parents determined to send him to the Lunatic Asy-, lum on Blackwell's Island. ‘There he remained about four months, when he was discharged cured. On being taken home, however, symptoms of insanity exbibited them: selves again, and the father and mother were obliged to keep a strict watch upon hio movements. About this time it was discovered that the prisoner had a penc for stealing. and on one occasion he got himself into trou- ble in consequence of a petty theft which he committed ata billiard saloon, At another time he was suspected of setting fire to a carpenter's shop, and afterwards the police looked upon him as the author of another incen‘ia- ry fire, involving the partial destruction of « public school in the Ninth ward.
