THE GRANT PARISH (CASE. Fifteenth Day. knd of the defense. CoUDbel for defmse complained that the attachments issued by them had not been properly returned that many of tilt in had no return on them at all. and that otbers had returns that were false and untrue on their very face, and that the defense was thos deprived of quite a nuuiber of important witnesses, that it could not go on.

Capt. Stockton, Deputy Marshal, reported, in regard to certain subprenas issned for Brown and others. that the submenus had never been issued by the clerk, and consequeutly never served. The teetiroouy of these witnesses on the previous trial was allowed to be read. Louisa Mackie sworn Bill Irwin was at my house at thetimetbat Jesse Mo-Kinney was killed this was six miles from Jesse's house.

I saw Bill Irwin at my house with two other gentlemen on Easter Sunday. E. Powlett, white, sworn I saw Bill Irwin at my ho'ise. twelve miles from Colfax, on April 1 and Bill Irwin could not possibly have been in Colfax with Hadnot on the 1st of April; Mr. Nash requested Mr.

Irwin to go to Col-tax as part of a pome comitatua he said he was Sheriff, and as such desired to put down the armed mob; Irwin de-sirtd to excuse himself, but Nash insisted on bis going to Colfax. Virginia Irwin's testimony was almost exactly the same. Thoe. L. Railey, clerk of Register's Court, waa placed on tbe stand.

Railey is now under indictment from the United states grand jury for obstructing the States Marshal in his endeavors to capture Nash. 1 left Colfax on the St. Mary, about 5 o'clock in tbe morning. There were 400 negroes then in Colfax, the majority armed. This body of armed negroes first collected in Colfax about March 20.

Frequent drillings were carried on by Ward, Flowers and Allen. Shaw, the Republican Sheriff, was deposed by the negroes about April 6, and Lev. Allen appointed to take command; Allen held no Federal or State office. White and other negroes made speeches in Colfax, denouncing tbe whites and calling on the negroes to kill Nosh and Hadnot. The other negroes applauded and seemed delighted with this.

I was indioted by the United 8tates Grand Jnry a few days ago for an offense committed nine months ago. Tbe District Attorney, in cross-examination, questioned tbe witness as to bin eomplicitv in defeating tbe efforts of the United Slates Marshal to arrest the priponers. Tbe defense excepted, holding that no person in a criminal prosecution was compelled to criminate himself. Tne District Attorney, on the other hand, argued that bv tbe act of 1806 the witness was compelled to answer these questions, but that the testimony could not be used against him. Judge Woods held that, as this was not Railey's trial, he was compelled to answer tbe question, however much it criminated him.

Maior Smith, of the United States Army, testi tied that Nash and Cazabat held court in Colfax in May, after the tight. Dan Shaw, white. Republican Sheriff of Grant Parish in 1873. sworn On April 1. Judge Register ordered me to swear in deputy sheriffs to protect the courthouse.

I gave them do orders to bring in negroes, to arrest white people, or to station pickets. They eoon afterrebelled from me; I advised them to return borne, telling them that if tbe whites captured the com t- house we would have our civil remedy left. I was kept a prisoner, and half starved. I tried three times to escape, but they me, saying that they wonld not let tne go, and if I tried to get away again they would shoot me. The then announced that they desired to introduce do more testimony they bad introduced enough, they thought, and would now submit their case to the jury.

rebutting testimony. Mr. Beckwith announced that he desired to introduce some rebuttin evidence, to rebut the testimony of witnesses for tbe defense and to discredit their testimony. Louisa Smith, colored, was put on the' stand to rebnt the testimony of Jane Middleton, who swore that she had seen and talked to Tom Hickman on the day of the battle. Louisa swore that Jaie was sick in bed and consequently could not see Hickman.

On cross-examination, however, vritnwss acknowledged that she and Jane Middleton went over to Hickman's together. Meekins Jones, colored, sworn I saw Dr. Couty. Narcisse Fredien. Ansruste Fredieu.

John Lemoine and Mat. Char-bonneau (all witnesses fer the defense) armed in Colfax on the day of the tight. On cross-examination Jones contradicted himself in tbe most remarkable manner. No less than five times did he swear that he saw Narcisse Fredieu cross the river; and about the same number of times that it was Augnste and not Narcisse. Both of the Fredieus were on foot and unarmed, but the ethers were riding.

Catherine Johns saw Narcisse Fredieu at the same time that Jones did, but. on the other band, testified that Fredieu was on hoi se-back, armed and engaged in shooting negroes. Richard KeeTl, colored, also saw Nar-risse Fredieu (but not the other Fredieu). Mat Cbarbonneau. John Lemoine and Dr.

Conty. Witness, as usual, muddled himself. These were followed by quite a number of other negroes, whose testimony seemed to criminate some of the wit-nesees for the defense, but whose cross-examination showed that either their memory or their veracity was very shaky. School Board. James IncTaham was called to the eba; H.

The Treasurer reports in this connection that there have been no receipts by the Treasurer from the Sheriff for some time that the receipts from the school tax of 1873 are still in the hands of the Sheriff', and this officer cannot make the settlement required of him by law, as be is restrained from turning over this money by an injunction issuing from the Superior Criminal Court in the case of John Burke vs. tbe City of New Orleans. On motion of Mr.

H. C. Warmoth, the jury yesterday rendered a verdict for defendant. This suit was instituted against Warmoth to make him personally liable for the value of $5000 bonds, which he ordered to be sold and the proceeds placed to the credit of the Governor's contingent fund. The State contended that these bonds could not be sold and the proceeds thus applied, whatever might Lave been the needs of Warmoth.

For plaintiff, Messrs. Field (Attorney General), Fellows and Cotton. For defendant, Messrs. Kennard, Howe and Prentiss. Fifth District Court.

The case of Judge John T. Ludel-ing-, of the Supreme Court, against the New Orleans Printing and Publishing Company, wherein plaintiff claims one hundred thousand dollars for damages arising from the publication of an editorial, reflecting ou said Ludeling, was continued by preference until the next term of the court. jURons. Somehow the regular panels drawn for the ciiminal courts by the Juiy Commissioners, do not hold out. This is hardly on account of the leniency of the judges in giving excuses, but results from the fact that hundreds of, names of persons, well known to be excusable from juiy duty, either through age or non-citizenship, are put in the box.

The necessary result is tbat these courts get almost too small a jury to work with. Out of forty-eight names, the Superior Criminal Court could only get some twenty odd jurors, whilst the panel of thirty-six in the First District Court barely eked out a dozen. This has necessitated a further call on the Commissioners. Judge Atocha demands a couple of dozen more, and Judge Abell announces himself unable to attend to the business of the State without, at least, twenty more jurors. VERDICTS.

With the small jury in the First District Court, two verdicts of guilty were obtained first, against John Dcna ue, charged with assault with intent to kill, who was found guilty of abjault and battery without intent to kill, and with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. Tom Donahue was found guilty of the 1'ke offense with a like recommendation. CONTKM1TS OF COURT. In the matter of the State vs. W.

W. McCultogh, Judge of the Fourth Municipal Police Court, for oppression in office. Judge Atocha read, yesterday morning, a decision concerning Judge McCullogh's plea in bar. Judge McCullogh was charged by J. D.

McConnell with oppression in office in committing him to the Parish Prition for twonty-four hoars, for alleged contempt of court. Judge McCullogh first put himself on trial, but afterwards withdrew his plea of "not guilty" and entered a plea in bar. Judge Atocha decided that the Judges of the Metropolitan Police Courts were clearly privileged and entitled to punish persona for contempt of court, and as McConnell was alleged to be punished for such conduct, the Superior Criminal Court nor any other court could go beyond and inquire into the cause of said committal, which was strictly within the power of the Judge. The case was accordingly ordered to be dismissed. ETCETERA.

John Fitzgerald plead guilty of as-sanlt and battery on L. Myers. John Bosh, who plead guilty of assault and battery, was sent to the Pai ish Prison for one day. Lonisa Smith, found guilty of knowingly receiving stolen goods, was nolle prosed on this charge, and a new information filed, charging her with larceny. Kate Jordan is charged with the larceny of some fifty pounds of corn scattered over the Levee.

There seems to be a general movement against these levee rats, who, whilst pretending to pick np stray grains of corn on the Levee, do not hesitate to give the bags a gentle punch or so, and spill enough out to fill their baskets. Kate is not the first sufferer in this Pocky Mike is charged with entering the store of E. Bethet in the night-time, and stealing therefrom some thirty sacks.
