To the Editors of the Herald: The Greeu County Fair open-d to-day, not withstanding the reports so industriously cir culated by some persons to the contrary.

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.” The soiled dove who is brought before the Judge may excuse her calling ia the polled head to do it. L ichr.mc was serenaded in Brunswick tho other night. The lascivious poise of the music throbbing upon the ambient air and the silvery shower of eloquence iaviwhly sift d over thu assembled multitude, may rt-»uliiy be described, but they cannot be im agined.

Branch in this contrc- liauis has boarded with me for over two years, aud was always apparently very quiet. About fi teen minutes after Mr. Williams bad gone ont, ftLd while Mr. Aimand was quietly sittiLg talk-ng with us, Mr. Williams opened tbe door and walked in, going np to a few feet of us and drawing a pistol find at Mr. Armand, saying nt tbe Ham© lime, “You insulted me. did you?” This shot struck the 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 dislike for Mr. Williams’ profession.
