THE Dead ALIVE CAsE.-Nathan-

District Court that David Espey was
dead, and thereby got appointed Cura-
tor and collected considerable sum
belonging to the living Espey's sue
cession, was yesterday taken before
Recorder Winter to answer to the
crime of perjury and obtaining money
under false pretences. He waived a
preliminary examination and asked
that the papers in both cases be sent
before the First District Court, which
was done. The accused was not adj
mitted to l.-BuIietiu.

wCowHlDED.--A lady whose
husband was arrested as she supposed,
without cause. went to the police Office
this morning and inquired for the
officer who made the arrest. The
gallant chief of police politely pointed
out the officer in question, whereupon
the lady seized him by the shoulder
with an Amazonian grasp, and draw
ing cowhide from the folds of her
dress, belabored him over the face
and shoulders after most merciless
fashion. The chief had to interfere
for the protection of the guardian of
the peace, but did not succeed in get
ting him out of the hands of this ipfu-
rated assailant until claret flowed,
and that right freely. The assailant
was arrested and held to answer for
her vigorous assault on the crescent
badged protector of the municipal
peace and dignity.-True Delta.

UThe Delta Of Monday contains
a very excellent article on the subject
Of racing steam boats, every word Of
which meets with our endorsement /;
we take from it the following extract !:
It is said that immense sums of mon.
ey have been bet on the result of the
Eclipse's trip to Louisville-it being
understood that she was going to make
the "best time" this season. We con-
slider the best time, in this instance,
the worst time. We are heartily sick
of railroad Observation-Disclosures mas
acres-and ruinous incidents" which
are the consequence of foolish bravado
or insane averice. The business Of
the country--its commercial--afiairs
can be conducted at u moderate speed,
with as satisfactory result as lift were
transacted by tightening.

The Piaquemine Seminal refers to
the Importance OF an Editorial Con-
vention. which, it says, has been called
at Baton Rouge on the Fourth Of July.
Is not this al error! The call, as
published, was for i meeting Of Print
ers and Publishers, the word Editor
not being used at all. # editors are
intended to We included, they should
be mentioned.
The foregoing is from our friend
Of the Delta. We can assure him,
as one Interested in getting up the
call referred to, that it was intended
to embrace the whole printing ffatern-
ity, commencing with the Editor and
going down to the very Devil himself.
We thought to include the whole
corpse" under the general head Of
Printers and Publishers" because we
know that nearly all the editors in the
State are practical Printers.
1t affords us great pleasure to see
how readily our New Orleans brother
en- notice the effort to organize.
We are fattered with the hope that
there viii be a good representation Of
the corpse Editorial, and Topographic
al at the proposed time and place, and
that after shaking hands in good fell
lowship, We may devise means to pre-
vent the "sdie ofour labor if nothing
more. The fashion of selling out
public printing to the lowest bidder,
is an outrage practiced upon us for nc
other reason than because we are dis.
united. We shall be disappointed il
We do not meet at that time, the clev-
err "phiz" of our friend the of Delta.
