UThrough our friend "Lanoue,"
on Lafayette st. we acknowledge the
receipt from De Witt n Davenport,
Nassau street, New York, Of the fol-
lowing works: HELEN Mulgrave, or
Jesuit Executorship," and 1.-THE
Monks Revenge, or the Secret Enemy
= tale of Later Crusades." There is
no better field for fiction, than that
afforded by the crusades, It is album
dainty rich in romantic incident, to
crafty the most fertile imagination,
and in resource, inexhaustable. THE
Monks Revenge ispronouuced equal
in literary meritaslto the "crusades' "
"Ivenhoe," or Jerusalem Delivered.
"Lanoue" will receive in u few days,
both of The above works fresh from
the publishers.

CRIME. BY the latest statistics Of
crime published it appears that the
whole number Of persons convicted Of
crime in the United States during
the year was about n, 000--of these,
1900 were natives, (including color
ed persons), and about $4,000 for
eign born. By the same authority.
and to the same date. we are informed
taat our population is composed Of
about 10, 100000 natives, 2,2l6,S38
born in foreign countries, and 30,0l4
whose nativity could not be determiu-

The Elective Fran hire.

Though this be a Democratic form
of Government under which we live,
and the largest liberty is allowed
still when we pause aud take calr
and dispassionate view of its political
condition, we cannot but see the ne
cessity of throwing some more sal
guards than we have, about the bal
lot box; to check the liceniousnes
of partizans, and restrict such mem
bers of our ching and flowing popula-
lion, as have no further interest in tn
country than to know where whiskej
can De had without cost, during cleo
ton time.
From the election just held, in tn
State there is nothing to show a change
for the better; on the contrary, the
amount of bribery and corruption
practiccd in all directions, is such as
casts gloom over the future prospects
of the country.
The city papers tell us that not.
outstanding the loss of thouands, by
the late epidemic, the vote Of New
Orleans, has not diminished.
1t is boldly asserted that dead
foreigner, is not dead, as long as his
naturalization papers can be found
for thousand ambitious Democrats
are ready to stand in the dead mans
hoes, aud with little cazy swearing
supply bis place in the ranks. Money
swavs the election in New Orleans,
and New Orleans governs the State.
Her good-bonest and true mcn will
not run for flee since no eIectn u
can be carried without the influence
of coffee house rowdies.

BAprs, Sheriff to say that the term
It Court that was to have been held
On the 14th day Of this month, Is by
order of Judge VIM. B. Robinson adj
iourned sine die. 4
We cannot forbear to make some
independent comments upon this mat
ter. In doing 80 we believe we express
the feelings of the community at large.
The question is "why adjourn the
Court 7" Only one Of two reasons
could possibly exist for it, and what
are theya Why either there is no
business to be transacted, or the dan
ger to be incurred by country people
in coming to town, is such as to rem
der it impossible to get a jury. Eeith-
or one ofthese two reason must exist
in the mind Of the Judge, or we feel
satisfied that be would not thus, to the
injury of the whole district suffer, the
business of this very important term
to 90 unattended to. We cannot for
moment be so uncharitable as to
suppose (as has been insinuated) that
the Judges own private business re-
auires his attention. Ii so. are we to
have no courts at all Are men on
suspicion, to be kept confined in Jail
for whole year at time, without any
apology. Is the civil business and
the Probate business, all to remiah IN
attended to? IF 50, let the courts be
abolished at once, and Judges, lawyers,
officers. and Ministers of Grace. sell
