The call was made by Tobias Gibson, as chairman of ihe Central ExeouUve Committee on Levets in Louisiana. The date was first fixed for the 12th of October, bnt owing to the polltloai eam paign was changed to the 16th of November. Mr.

I take the Uertv of asking at your nsids the nee of tbe Hall of the House of BepreeentsUves for holding the eonvenHn. It is to assemble on November 16, 1880, and may continue In session a week.

TMyreanestforthe use of the hall Is not without a precedent, as the House offered the hall to onr Immigration Convention through the Hon. Louis Bush, Speaker, and was accepted by me as President of that Tl ee'no objeetlon to the use of the Capitol for the assembling of a convention of rreat arid widespread utility, and it would be, think, another very strong indication of our earnestners in this greatest of enterprises in behalf of ear State and I sincerely trust your Excellency win be In aooord with me in these views and may grant there quest."

i In view of the great Importance of the ODlects which the. Convention contemplates I hereby grant your request; althougnltis very unusual to allow tae hall to be used for public assemblies. Tbe expense of putting the hall In proper order and of keeping, tt daring the session of the Convention, as well as of leaving It In proper order after the Convention closes, will devolve upon your committee, as no appropriation for that purpose has been made. With tbe earnest bope that the Convention win be fruitful in good results, I have the honor to remain your obedient servant, L. A.

rzm Anotner reasoD ir uoiwurg not drowned lies In the fact tnat when Jound be was floating on his back, whereas a drowned man floats on his stomach; and in drowning the gallbladder bursts before the body rises to the surface. I examined the body and found the gaU bladder all the man had been drowned and had been washed up to the surface by the com motlon of tbe tugboat. It would have sunk as soon as the disturbance had subsided. When death snsnes before the body is thrown in, I don't think It sinks to the bottom, although may go under the surface a little. I sm fully convinced he was wounded, because me uuis on nun were cisive.

The bruises seen to have been caused by a blunt Instrument. Bow long do you think be had been In V1 Twelve hours would be the maximum certainly not more. When the body was taken out It was perfectiy fih and no discolored except where the bruises had been made.

After a body Is taken out of water and exposed to the air for some hours 16 turns black, which of ouree accounts for Its appearance when yon saw it last night. Hence It Is no Indication of how long he had been In the water. If the body had been in the water tnirty eix hours the skin would have peeled off, while nis skin was firm and not discolored. 1 made a careful examination of the body, and am oondent that what I tell you Is correct." I Facts aad Ceaelaelene. i The supposition of the detectives that the dead man took a Dumalne street oar, does not agree with the assertion of the drivers of that line, all of whom say they know him." They also know where he lives, and if he had fallen asleep they would have awaked him and put him out at his corner.

2ne of the drivers of the Canal street line its Curnmiller' rode out with him at 11 o'clock In tbe day and got out at the corner Of Bolivar street. He remarked tbat he would leturn by that line to his offloe; From this it la suggested that the dead man might have ridden ont In a Canal strent car on Monday night after leaving nis otfloe. He would then have eroesed the Broad street bridge over the Old Basin on his way home. The bridge has bad reputation, as a spot whloh thieves select to commit assaults upon passers by. The drivers on tbe Dumalne street line who live on the opposite side of the basin never cross the bridge alone after 9 o'clock at night.

They usually wait until several of them are ready to go home before starting. i It adds to the mystery of the affair that not a sign of a struggle can be seen on the banks ot the basin, and no trace of tbe kiuui whinh mint hsTs flowed from his arm. in ease he was murdered, can be found. None of bis clothing, exoept what he had on, has yet been discovered. If the detectives are right in their theory that some tramp stole his clothing, it seems strange that they should carry off one shoe and one stocking.

i It Is now said by a brother in law of Corn miller that one pocket of his trousers was eut out, while the other, containing personal papers, was not disturbed. The papers alluded to do not seem to have been in the Water for a great length pf time. The ink en the documents gave no indication of the presence of water, except in one instance, where some red ink "run" slightly. At the offloe ot the Paragon Excavating Company, where Corn miller worked, it was Stated yesterday that on Monday morning be had provided himself with a lot of bills to collect, and bow many he had ooliected had glVy CM UCXU AVUMl. leaves in doubt tbe amount of money he had niTTi wnen JJiuraexvu ur unitraou MARINE MISHAPS.

Blane, Assistant City Attorney: Dear Sir My letter book will show letters by the dosen to the ClvU Sheriff, asking for his statement a ot elty taxes ooliected for 1879 and previous years, whether on account or in full. I have not reoelved either.

I wrl'e him again to day, and now repeat what I have written you before, to take tuch legal steps as will force a statement from said Sherlff. I do not desire to assume any responsibility by tardiness. When I have exhausted every civil means, it is nay wish, and Instructions to take such legal steps as will protect me, by forcing him to make returns and settlement. We hold those ninety three warrants, and. the cash paid.

He has carried out his contract, and I propose xeallzlog out of said warrants' as soon as you advise we, and credit the 1879 account whh it. i await your reply. Respectfully, Alf. H. Isaacbost, Administrator of Finance.

Bedford, Ang. 3, 1880. i Hon. A. H.

Isaacson," Administrator ot Finance Dear Air Mr. Robinson having sent me a copy of your letter of 23d July, requesting proceedings against Mr. Gauthreaux ror au account and settlement, I reply that two proceedings can be instituted one, a eivil suit against him for an aeoonat and a money Judgment; the other, a oilmlnal prooeea The latter must be oommenoed by affidavit to be made by you, or by Information through the Distrlot Attorney, based on The civil proceeding for an account i and money judgment will be based on information whloh must also be furnisaed from tbe Finance Department, as it is to you, and you alone, that the Sheriff is by ordinances required to account for taxes. You should therefore furnish my offloe with a statement of any and all taxes which you have reason to believe the Sheriff has collected and has not aooounted for, and it you have no such information, but merely suspect him of having ooliected money for whloh he has made no settie on so Instructing us, a oivil tutt may be immediately begun on alleging that taxes have been by him received and retained, and praying for a money Judgment for any sum whloh you may determine will sofflce to cover all such collections. The sureties should be Joined in the suit with the Sheriff.

Mr. McCaleb, Mr. Farrar or Mr. Butler Is at band during my absence, to carry out any Instructions you may give, and if you determine to carry ont my advice given below, please address one of My advice now is, as it has always to use every means In your poer to compel tbe Sheriff to comply with your demands, and those means are the eivil and criminal proceedings above referred to. Though I am satisfied that if Mr.

Gauthreaux could be persuaded ot your determination to enforce your demands, he would comply witn them without further delay. When, during the session of the last Legislature, I was Instructed to proceed against him, you will remember that after my first steps In that direction I received orders to stay proceedings, it being thought wise to Erant him a delay until tbo adjournment, ut as be did not comply with the promise upon whloh the delay was given, again I was instruct to obtain from him a settlement of taxes, accounts of whloh he had furnished. I immediately Informed him of inv tnarmetlons. and In an Interview told him I should stop at nothing to obtain a prompt settlement. Accordingly he did, within a week thereater, settle for all the taxes of which yon had furnished me h's statements, by giving you for tbe 1879 taxes about 6000 in cash and $20,000 In act 93 certificates, to assure the payment of a remaining indebtedness of about $7000 of those s'you inform me that the conditions upon which we received the certificates Have not been complied with, you are at liberty to sell them.

The same statements had from von and upon which I proceeded as above. showed a scrip collection of taxes to 1879. amounting to (acoorclng to my recollection) about $10,000. Atf no cash was collected or Included in these, there was nothing to obtain irom the Sheriff save a list of the names and ordinances constituting the "scrip received for said taxes, in order that the books at the Hall might be written up therefrom. This was ana is a mere matter of detail whloh you have but to ask for to obtain.

As far as I have beard the Sheriff may still have some small amount of cash ooliected for years prior to 1879. but it is possible he may have taxes for 1879, of which he has never allowed us to know anything. If you suspect this It is unquestionably your duty to use the strongest measures to secure a prompt settlement. If you determine on severe measures, you have but to see any one of the gentlemen named abova to learn the nature of the affidavit to be made by yoo, in order to carry out the wish you express in your letter to me, that every Step be uscd to obtain a vindication of the city's right. Very ffeC.

mb.ii. an Mm a c0 1 Til jfjaius usobi JTaida Mlltenbemer Hears the Evidence and Sends Cerporal Drlscell Vp Under av Bend 91000. 1 The oase of Corporal T. Driscoll. charged with bavin, on the aist ot September, kicked a man named Bares, who was under ar Yi st at the time, so severely that he died of bis injuries, was called up for examination before Judge Mlltenbtrger yesterday.

Mr. Arthur Gastinel conducted the prosecution and Mr. W.L. Evans appeared for the de The testimony went to show that Bares was arrested at the instance of his wild, who screamed for tbe police, sayta that her husband was attempting to beat ber. When Officer Martin arrived he found Bares leaning against the wall with a bag of money In his hand.

This officer, together with Corporal Driscoll and Officer Welsh, endeavored to arrest Bares, but tbe latter made a desperate resistance, crying that the officers wished to rob and kill aim. At the corner of Customhouse and Treme streets he threw himself down very violently npon the pavement, and kicked the officers, wbo were trying to lift him up, very severely, Officer welsh being even now 1 or 1 aim AlMinmlAHhMl Taftritonitia. i Finally. Corporal Driscoll seized Bares by i. I 1 kin.

nr. aril nrtrh Itae neaii auiu mirm uiu aeslstanee of another officer who had arrived upon the scene, trotted' the prisoner off to the jail. The proseootlan endeavored to establish khe fact that shortly after Bares fell down Corporal Driscoll naa nis ciocnes orasnea, and then deliberately returned and kicked the prisoner in thereglouof the abdomen, producing internal iuluries from which the prisoner afterwards died. The defense also claimed that although Bares complained of illness, crying, "MwnDleal I am dying 1 all the, way to the station, no attention was paid to him, and he was left all night in a a. hii tj mat Ceil wiuiuuii The defense established through the testimony of Dr.

de Roaldea, the attending phy slolan in the oase Dr. Beard, tbe Coroner, and Dr. Jamison, the City Physician, tact Bares eame to his death from peritonitis. Falls and severe internal strains can cause the disease, and the defense argued that the manner In which Bares threw himself upon ithe pavement was sufficient to cause bis death. Officer Martin and the doorman of the Treme station testified that when Bares was passing through tbe narrow entrance frrm the ball to the gallery on which, the cells are situated, he released himself from the grasp of the officer, and tumbled down 'over a step of about a foot and A half in height opon the chime of a barrel, and Le teen complained of belDg murdered.

The defense said that Bares bad thus received several injuries which could bring on peritonitis, and this disease was not necessarily caused by the kick which it was alleted Corporal Driscoll had given. i Judge Evans, in his argument, said that the accused could not be held on tne charge of manslaughter, as it must first bo proven that the death of Bares had been caused In a criminal manner. 11 this was establish ed, then if it was snown mat it was pww able that Dri spoil had caused the death, the judge eould then commit him before the bigker court. Judge Gastinel la his reply dwelt upon the criminal negligem ol the police. They knew that his fall on the pavement and later on tbe chime ot the barrel, as tbede lnse claimed, were serious, and stiU they pushed Bares Into a dungeon without ea.ll fcg a doetor, and not even allowing his wire and brother to see him.

Even the next morning when Bares was so 111 that he stood all bent up, they said be was drunk. judge Miltenberger said that the police were not as much to blame as would appear. Baits was well known aa frequently assaulting bis family while be was under the lnflo tnee of liquor, and while in that condition was always violent and troublesome. His federations that he was dying were attributed to be nothing but the language ae ccmpanylrg Intoxication, euch. ompla'nta being nearly always made by drunken people under arrst.

The evidence against Driscoll was so slight that be did not feel jaetirled la sending him before the Criminal District Court, and still did not wish to discharge him, preferring to place tbe accused under bonds and reserve the final decision of tbe court until the Grand Jury should have passed upon tbe matter. Tbe defense objected to this course, because it would be equivalent to a discharge. This disoussion was finally settled by tbe defense consenting to have the case eent be lore the higher court. judge Miltenberger accordingly sent the case up, placing Driscoll under $1000 ap pearanoe bonds.

In his opi okm no ironiuigsuoii i u.o lever should be made by any of the members without action of the board la meeting. The case of the Excelsior was then cited as an instance. Tbe board should act as a unit and with great eantion on such an tmportent question, where the welfare of the State and the commercial Interests of the city were at stake.

Dr. Jones was of oplulon thathe should have been Informed that suspicious oase existed, and even after the patient bad died there waa no necessity of taking action until his return, which was only a day afterward. 0. 1 The position be held as President of the State Board of Health was similar to the head of a government, or corporation, or aa array, and no action of such magnitude as the ease in point should have been taken without his knowledge, when he eould have been informed snd reached the city from the par is a of lf ourche in a Dr. Jones then referred to his experience tn this parish among the lepers, full description of which was published In yesterday's Pioa 3 The President referred the communications of F.

Dr. Jones said the total yearly cost of emptying vaults was. at the lowest calculation, from $66,000 to $75,000, and might reach $100,000. which was a heavy tax upon the citizens. The President said: the expenditure of tl for permanent sewerage would eventually be a great saving to the people, not to mention the improvement in a sanitary point of view.

Dr. Formento offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: Whereas, in a communication from the Acting Medical Director ot the Auxiliary Sanitary Association, dated October 3, 1880. and adopted by that body, tbe Board ot Health has been mlssrepresented. Eeolte4, Tbat hereafter no communication from the Auxiliary Sanitary Association be received except throngh the Conference Committee or the President of said association.

Livingston is a seaport on the coast.

The custom honse, however, is situated a few miles distant at Isabel, which located upon the border of the lake of that name, and the point of departure for tb Interior, from the eastern side. The route irom here to the city of Gantemala, three days' Journey, is made entirely npon the backs of mules; partly over mountains, and the greater portion of the way through a barren, miserable and repellant country, rocky and with no shade from the tropical sun. Beyond the raising of Indian corn and Jiere aid there a little sugar eane, no sign of cultivation exists. The piincipal point along the route is Zv oarpa, a to of five or six thousand inhabitants, Dr. Richardson judged, no census bavins ever been taken.
