It is probubly premature to say that a change for the better has been inaugurated in this respect in this State, but certainly one or two important steps have been taken in that direction, A Su- perior Criminal Court has been established, with wide jurisdiction; the jury laws have been so medifiea as to cal! into requisition the services of the very best citizens of the State as jurors, and, bya curious accident, the two lawyers whose in- genuity and knowledge of the intricacies of criminal law bad hitherto been most effective in se- curing the release uf criminals charged with capi- tal offences have dropped ito the positions of Criminal Judge and Prosecuting Attorney respect- ively. THE MURDER fa Assumption parish, for waich a five-fold ex- Piation was exacted to-day, was of a mcst atro- cious character, premeditated, and planned solely for the purpose of robbery. The murder was not an accidental accompaniment of a cohtemplated robbery. It sormed pari of the original plot. In- eed, the assassins projected and nearly accom- Phshed the death of two persons instead of one. Among the many curious features of LIFE ON THB BAYOUS of the Mississippi deita the Noating traders are not the least curious. With an old flatuoat stocked witn all the requirements of a country store they pole their way into regions apparently inaccessi- ble or drift lazily with the current from place to piace, and wherever they go manage to find a trade. They pay neither rent nor taxes, If they are disturbed or find business dull at one point they move on to the’ next, ana, barring their nhalf-yearly trips to New renew their stock, seldom Somietiniés the flatboat trader fills up is time while waiting for his customers by working at some trade—clock-mending most frequently. Whiskey, of the cheapest and vilest kina, is always to be found on board these boats, and in dispensing it the Matpoatman makes no dis- tinction on account of race, color or previous con- dition. Often one will see a frowsy-headed woman thrust her head out of the cabin to yell at her Tagged brood fishing for catfish over the sides of the boat, and a “yaller dog” is almost ‘sure to be on hand to yell irantically at every passer-by, Ellsba Eastwood. THE MURDERED MAY, * ‘was a flatboat trader, but of a much better class than ordinary. He was a native of Onondaga county. New York, and was about sixty years of age. He came to Louisiana ten or twelve yea ago a Widower, with one danghter, and started a country store; but his aaugnter dying some three years ago he built a fatboat and started trading in ‘ou Lafourche. Attended only by an old the cook he passed his cheerless, lonely lite seipiz SSiitel on board bis boat, doing a good trade and saving money. He had a claim of @ome $8,000 against the government, which had recently been decided in bis favor, and as he was known ca) have Feceived official letters from Wash- thin sips.doubtiess believed he nad this money with him on the boat. On the morning of THE MURDER, the 25th of Aj at Mrs. Fiower’s plantation on Bayou Laiourche, jour miles below Napolconvilie. It was tour velock ana dark, whéh Some people in the vicinity were aroused by the screams of a woman @heran to a house and awakened the inmates, exclaiming, “‘fhey are killing Mr. Eastwood on the boat!’ This was Kastwood’s colored cook, a ‘woman named Henrietta. \As soon as practicable the neighbors assembled and proceeded to the boat. The murderers had fied, but the bloody corpse of the old man attested that they had ac- complished already the worst part of their terribie design, whiie close by lay a colored woman, ap- parentiy lifeless, bloody and disfigured. This woman was named Rosalie. Unfortunately for, herself she was at the time on a visit to the woman Henrietta. Henrietta herself, awakened by the noise and seeing the assassins, nad burst through One of the windows of the boat, fell into the bayou, and, notwithstanding the murderers had placed one of their number on the levee to watch, escaped unigjured and gave the alarm. At daylight a thor- h examination of the boat was made. Two hickory bludgeons were found; one was encircled at the end with @ heavy iron ring; the other was encrusted with biood, to which adhered the long ay hairs of the murdered man. A pistol, jow slip, some sacks and @ sock, as alsoa and bit,’ were Itkewise discovered. assassins, alarmed by the screams of the woman wi.o escaped, had fled without their expected booty, leaving even their bey oy! behind them, Tey had entered the boat by the window, using the, brace and bit a8 a me: unhook the catch, On examination Eastwood’s head was found vo be emasned by repeated blows of a biudgeon. The woman, although ber skull was fractured in sev- eral places, was still alive, and subsequently re- covered. pil- race The cowardly SIX OR SEVEN ARRESTS were atonce made, but though the suspected per- sons included three of those who were subsequent- ly proved to be the murderers no evidence could be jound against them, and they were discharged. Meanwnile Colonel W. B. Ratilf, a large planter, of Assumption parish, who had known and re- spected Kastwood for some years, examined the few days of his death, his assas- | last, Eastwood’g boat was tied up | Maurice, James Williams, Anderson Perry and | mysel:, all started togetner trom Napoleonville to go down to Mr, Eastwood’s boat. Antonio Mau- Tice rode on horseback and the balance of us walked. When we three had nearly got to Mr. Eastwood’s boat we saw James Robinson (the one legged man) on the levee, near Mr. Eust- | wood’s boat; he bad his skiff with him, and James Williams said he was the partner he had spoken of. Antonio Maurice told Anderson Perry to stop at the Jerry, just above Mr. Eastwood's boat, and watch to give the alarm if any one came aiong the road. He then placed me below Mr. Eastwood’s boat, on the levee, and told me to do the same. James Wilhams, Antonio Maurice and James Rob- insun (the one-legged man) all three then went into Mr. Eastwood’s boat. When 1 was on the watch on the levee I heard no noise on Mr, Eastwood’s boat, but I saw a dark object cross the levee and go across the road, and soon alter there were cries from Mrs, Flower’s yard. I then ran up the road to wnere Anderson Perry had been left. Be- fore got there Antonio Maurice got up vn his horse and took Anderson Perry up behind him. I did not see James Williams after he went on the boat until Sunday morning, after Mr. Eastwood was killed. The night that Antonio Maurice, Jim Williams and Anderson Perry and mysel! went down to Mr. Eastwood's, as stated in the above statement, was the night Mr. Eastwood was killed, that is Friday night. 1 did not Know that it was intended to kill any one. 1 did not know that any- body would be killed. No mention was ever made to me by anybouy of Killing any one, and | thought that the party was only going out lor stealing. Ir 1 had known or supposed or suspecved that murder was intended or would result, or if] had known that anybody would be hart I woulda not have one a step, I never put Sastwood’s boat that night. The ouly parties who went on that boat that night were James Williams, Antonio Maurice and James Robinson. When Antonio Maurice talked to me about going into the boat I decuned at frst. I told nm he could not get in without waking somebody, but he said he could—that he would get in the same way he bad got into Mr. Louis’ store. The brace and bit 1ound, I think, belong to Antonio Manrice. The gat sack found was the, one on which Antonio Maurice rode going down to the boat. The stick with the piece of tron on it pangs to James Wil- liams, The satchel belongs to James Williams. ‘The pillow sip belongs to Anderson Perry. iflam punishea don’t punish me for killing Mr. E: wood, for I did not do 80; I never went on the boat; all that 1 did was to stay on the levee. If I had known they intended to kill Mr. Eastwood I ‘would not have gone astep. I thought the only | object of the party was to go with the boat and steal shoes, cloth and other things off the boat. In view of the fact that the testimony disclosed conclusively that John Ross was the man who did most of the butchery, this copiession is certainly cool, Still more oo wae his CONPESSION OF INIO MAURICE. ‘The Orst time anything of the kind was stated to me was two or tree weeks betore the murder, when I was fishing.

When we went that night of the murder (Friday night) I was at Piere Valien’s house, pretty late. 1 don’t know what time of night it was. I found there Anderson Perry and James Williams. I took off my clothes aod Went to bed. They said they wanted some whiskey. 1 gave them two bits to go tt a4 After the whiskey was procured John Ross came. He said he had been to Eastwood’s boat and found no one and had come back, When Jobn Ross came back he 1ound the parties named Anderson Perry and James Williams at my house. They (John Ross, Anderson Perry and James Williams) then talked and talked and said they must go and do the work that night. I endeavdred to persuade them not to go, as nothing could be done. Atter talking they said they would go, and I promised to follow. They went. <Atter they haa Cog and concluding if 1 did not follow they would come and kill me, Lopened the door, saw a white horse, goton it with the oat sack found in court and went down there. When I reached the boat they were at work trying to get in the boat, and had a hole drilled ‘through the window. After I got there they came and said to me I must work tg 1 found I had to do exactly what they told me. They then opened the boat. After opening the boat they came ashore where I was. They,sat down on the levee and took their shoes off. After this they entered the boat, telling me to keep guard on the levee, and if any one Appeared to knock them and sink them ‘in te Od.

Wm. Ross alone was admitted State’s evidence, and all five of the others, Anderson Perry, James Will- jams, Antonio Maurice, John Ross and James Rob- ertson, were convicted, the latter as accessory be- fore the tact, and sentenced to death. On the 1st ugust the Governor, after a thorough exam- ination of the acts, signed deatn warrants Ot all five, naming Friday, the 2ist August, as the day of execution, Just previously, feeling nis case al- most hopeless, Robinson adopted a CURIOUS DODGE to obtain a respite and possibly a chance at rescue or escape.

The reading of tne death warrants and the dying speecies of the con- demned occupied a Juil hour. Ross, in a loud voice, asked his wile and mother to come to the front, They were dragged forwal accompanied by Williams’ wife, but Williams angrily requested her to be taken back. Both Ross and Williams asked the HERALD reporter and others to see that their wives had a black gown. All the condemned men made rambling, incoherent speeches, ending each with the assurance that they would be in heaven in ten minutes. Williams loto hysterics and fainted and had to be pores up in @ chair the drop fell. The executioner, a tall, powerful man, wearing a carnival mask, and draped jrom head to foovin a black domino tied with crimson cord, periormed his work most ef- ficiently. Robinson, the only white man of the gang, was placed in the centre of the drop and splayed less courage than any of them. Up to the last moment he indulged in feartul blas- hemies, expressing a hope that he would be at ell’s gates to meet his persecutors, At half past ten THE DROP FELL, and the shriek that rose simultaneously {rom the | crowd startled some horses and produced a panic.

Pomeroy in Jersey Vity was too mach for Gien- @enning, and ne accordingiy took leave of the city betore the funeral took place, but his flight was not made known till yesterday, He drove in 4 carriage to the ferry and then crossed to New York, where he is now contemplat- ing ata safe distance the terrible mutterings of retribution, some of which reached his ears beiore he fled, His house is watched day and night, Mr, Alfrea B.

Mr. and Mrs, Miller have, however, retained the services of Messrs. Linn and Babbitt to bring the case into the courts, They are determined that Glendenping shall support the child. Mr. Dudley, Overseer of the Poor, has ap- plied to the City Attorney to conduct the-case on pe- half of the city. The little one is so sickly that the attending physician says that nothing but the greatest care can keep it alive. Mr. Ludley states positively that he will have a warrant this morning tor the arrest of Glendenning under the Bastardy act. The vigilance committee, who are watchin; the house, are resolved that Glendenning shal not escape justice if he falls into their hands, It is stated by a prominent member of his church that he would have fled | Jong since but for the encouragement given him by his legal advisers. He at last arrived at the conclusion that, in consequence of the dying ri’s exposure of the manner in which he came into P eote- dere of the mysterious paper, that.docu- ment itself would damn him in a court of justice and before the world. An animated Gofiversation took place on the evening of the funeral between Mr. Howell, an elder of the church, and ex-Mayor Sawyer. ‘The latter asked if the trustees intended to continue the services of Glendenning, as common decency demanded that ne be expelled from the community at once. Howell replied that the trustees of the Prospect avenue Presbyterian churen have no jurisdiction whatever over the | astor. He 1s amenable only to the Presbytery. he trustees of a Presbyterian church have charge only of the temporal welfare of its members. The relations of a pastor to the cnurch are in tne hands of tue Presbytery. They make appointments | and they alone dissolve pastoral relations.

It struck me that these Indians felt as happy as a well fed mule wandering about among the great tall shady trees, with not a soul in the park besides themselves but the dipper boy and myself. Perhaps it was like ‘liome, Sweet Home,” to them, bat they did’nt look as if they wanted to strike up that air. 1 got out to the stables a few minutes before seven o’clock.

In among the trees and wooden stables a dozen or more darkies were quietly leading some of the | norses, talking “baby talk” to them or whistling or humming an air for their edification as they jogged by their side holding their alters. A [ew were tied to the trees undergoing a curry- combing and brushing.

Don’t aepress it, sir. It was immense. You saw something yesterday that your children may never see in the way of time.” “Now that race will be a big thing for the asso- ciation. Won’t it ?” I inquired. “Why, of course it will. Big thing ? I should say 80. It’s worth $50,000 to the association if it’s worth adime. You see, atter that run o! Fellow- craft’s yesterday, the very best horses will come here to try and do something like it on the very same track. But 1m afraid none of ’em ever will—that js, under the same conditions. There was a big difference between Lexington and Fel- lowcraft in more ways than one.” THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEXINGTON AND FEL- LOWCRAIT. “Why, bow’s that Y. “Well, in the first place he beat Lexington by a quarter second, and, as you and every one saw, did it easily. Then, again, Fellowcraft ran as a four-year-old, carrying his appropriate weight, 108 pounds, whereas Lexington ran as @ four-year-old, carrying only 104 pounds, when he was really a five-year-old—withio one month of it. More thao that, Lexington had a running start and relays of fresh horses, and Fellowerait hadn’t either of those advantages.”” “Well, all those things bunched makes it the race of the age.” “You're right, it does; but have you thought of Wanderer’s gait?” “How do you mean? I know he made the four miles in 7:20—pretty fast time.’” “Yes, he made it In 7:20 and carried his weight as an slouch, many, if it was second yesterduy.”” “pia you see that old fellow crying over on the quarterstretch yesterd when Feliowcrait whirled under the wire? Who was het”? “No; I migsed that. J didn’t take my peepers off that horge not once from the furlong pole to the stand.” “Well, this old fellow cried with Jo7.

When 1 took my usual seat in the reporters’ (and, by the way, they stick the judges’ stand just in front of it to the injury of the view) I noticed a ten foot pole, surmounted by a. signboard on the quarter stretch, direct jacing the work- ing journalists.
