A DRAWING ROOM.
The New Oilcans papers of Wednesday last
have full details of the assassination of Henry
Armand, a member of a well-known Creole
family, by .Samuel M. Williams, a gambler,
on tho previous evening, at the boarding
house of Mr8. Feicbart, No. 119 Royal street.
The tragedy is thus described by the land
lady:
At about 8 o’clock in the evening I w as sit
ting in the parlors w»rh my danghtt-rs. Upon
the door being opened Lading into tho halt I
saw Mr. Arma:.d, who was an old friend ot
mine, and whom I had known for years, com-
mg np. At the same lime Mr. Williams, who
boarded :n tho house, was coining down.
The two men met at tho bend of tho stair*,
when they jostled, Mr. Armand saying, “G t
ont ol my way, will >ou V ’ and pushing Mr.
Williams aside, walked in, saying he had
come to pay mo a visit. Mr. Armand board-
u the house wi»h me lor about a year, »>1
fered bid the only thing I was bUthorized to I a Louisiana creole kilied by a gambler in
offer, to-wit: on eight per cent, bond of tne
sAmosiza, and offered to pay him currency in
terest on the old bond, up to dato of th«i new.
He refused, saying fco wa3 so instructed, and
that ho was farther instructed to protest th--
bond if it was not paid in currency.” He
did protect tho bond, and thus lar did what
this act coul 1 do to depreciata and injure the
credit of tbe State.
It is Well known that Col. Branch wrote a
letter to the Constitution daring the past year,
in which he advocated the payment of the
fraudulent bonds; but if Col. Branch had nev
er written anything but this reply to Col.
Jones, this is sufficient to satisfy every
ono who reads it, that no stronger eff rt h ts
ever appeared in piint calculated to do
injury to the creiit of tho Btutc than
this very doenmenf. CoL Branch says in
cno paragraph that “now Georgia Eights have
declined from 5 to 10 percent.,” and if he
had purchased them it would have been very
unfortunate for him. And in the next para
graph hr says he regard-; the “Nutting bonds
as a firs class investment, and, as a heavy
tax-payor, he is interested in seeing them
placed at a high figure."
We wcuid liko to ask Col. Branch who has
any of th* *?o bonds for sale at 5 to 10 per cent,
discount. Brokers have advertised them be
low pur, l.ut when called upon to deliver
them tho “party holding them was always
out of tho c Ity.” At the time the New York
broker advertised them at 85c, not a bond
had over been signed up or had left the office
of tho Treasurer.
In cocelusion, we desire to do CoL Jones
thisjastice. Ho did not mention any names
to us. We happened to go into his offico to
inquire the amount of bonds sold. Ho showed
us bis circular. We read it and requested
permission to pubiis'u it as a matter of pub
lic interest. We asked him who tho parties
were he referred to as making an *ff >rt to de
preciate tho credit of the State. He declined
to inform us, rem irking th^t there were sev
eral, but we at once concluded that Thomas
P. Brae *h w»s on? of tbom. We formed the
conclusion from a certain conversation which
Mr. Blanch had with ns in his office on the
bond question in Febrnary, 1873. It appears
we were right in our conjectures.
We regret (hat Col. Branch hag seen fit to
defend himseif against the charges brought
by CoL Jonta in a document wnich cl?ariy
expresses the real animus of the man siuce
these eight per cent, bonds were issued. It
is a lame excuse to say that all he has ever
done has been in the “line of his business.”

wall just behind Mr. Armand, who rose, when
Williams again fired, his ball apparently tak
ing effect in Mr. Armand’s temple, for he fell,
he crawling over to the corner by th« door.
I screamed for htlp, wheu Mr. Williams
again fired, his ball striking tbo wall over Mr.
Armand, who then rose up partially, aud Wil
liams tired agam twice, both balls taking ef
fect, one in Mr. Armand’s neck and the other
in hi« left ear. I, with my oldest daughter, then
8 ized Mr. William^, who ran towards the
stairway, Mr. Armand crawling into the ball,
when he expired. Mr. Williams biokc lioiu
ns and ran iuto the street, dropping his pis
tol on tho 6tairs, when it was picked np by
some ono and carried away. To my knowl
edge there never had been any previous dif
ficulty between th© m n, aud though they
both boarded into the same house barely
exchanged words. I think, though, there
may have be-*n a coolness between them on
accouut of Mr. Armand having expre ssed u press cine where

We shall only state that tho arrangement is
thorough. By means of machinery and
spnng3, all invisible to tho audience, Lnlu is
thrown from the stage into tbe dome of the
theatre, where are the trapeze bars, upon
which she performs. Beneath these is a
broad mt work, which pr itects her against
every possibility of accideR if she should
fall, so that the’most nervous and delicately
sensitive need have no apprehensions.
The company have been performing in the
principal cities in the State within the past
