Cine Of the most remarkable, astounding and
amusing trials Of horse flesh we ever witnessed,
commenced Saturday and concluded yesterday
over the Metairie Course 1t was singular
amalgamation Of all the different styles Of get
ting along, from, downright running to pretty
considerable pacing, and a moderate share Of
trotting and it afforded an immense amount of
sport to those present.
There were four entries for the sscup''-
The race was done without distance or any
rules, other than those the judges might see fit
to improvise, and it was a race ssas was
race" If the speed wasn't killing, the fun
certainly was. The first heat was without any
more material incident than the ssbushing" of
J. I. Eotf on the last quarter, at about the
same time the other horses came in; Wood
pecker's victory was by the skin of his teeth,
Trife being within talking distance all the way,
The second heat was much like the first, ex-
oepting that Trihe lay back to recruit, while
Flirt went on with the travelling.
The third heat, however, was sssome pump
kins;" indeed, we might say considerable
lemons" 1t was such a one as we are sure
never was trotted before, and never will be run
again. Trifie was the first horse in, Wood
pecker the second, and the winning horse
third! AS they went from the score, Trife was
driven so quickly in front of Woodpecker as to-
compel the latter to stop short; and on the last
turn, Woodpecker was turned SO suddenly in,
in front of Flirt, as to stop the latter. 1t YVES
impossible to say whether the nags ran, or trot-
ted, or paced the greater part of the distance
At any rate the heat was given to Flirt, and the
other two ruled dead. J. L. Eoff, who only
showed himself at the starts, was drawn.
The fifth heat was not commenced until dark,
and a number Of sentinels were posted around
the course to report the conduct of the mammals
| They went off under much excitement, hurrah-
ing and whip-leather, and were speedily lost
sight Of. The Lord only knows how they got
around, but around they came. One of them
was first and another last; which first and
which last, the Lord only knows Each driver
reported the other two to have run the whole
distance, and the sentinels report all three to
have been running like dogs whenever they saw
| them As the Judges couldn't see more of the
| track than lay between themselves and the
| members stand, the heat was declared dead,
and by consent Of the parties the race was con-
tinued until next day, yesterday, Sunday. We

Two mistakes, or More.

The Courier Of last Friday published an
editorial article which appeared, in our humble
Judgment very severe upon the Irish character
and the Irish people. We said so. and remon-
strated gently with our neighbor against the
attack, because, as we have been first to de-
nounce foreigners who should trample upon OF
not respect our institutions and laws, SO will
we be foremost in defending them when unjustly
or unnecessarily assailed Yesterday gentle
man came ont in card over his signature and
stated that we had made two mistakes in our
notice of the article of the Courier; that we had
attributed it to the editors of the paper, and
had misapprehended its meaning, or spirit,
whereas he had written it himself, and it didn't
mean any thing like the Interpretation we had
given it.
We at once plead guilty to both these charges.
We certainly did suppose it to be intended for
editorial, and hereby offer our apology for an
involuntary error; at the same time we submit
that our mistake is somewhat exousable, mas
much as the article in question was published in
one Of the editorial columns, was "leaded."
and employed the indisputable editorial pre-
rogative, sswE,'' at least once, and, besides,
! was not much inferior to the Courier's usual
editorial excellence. The gentleman, however,
+ says that the editors didn't write the article,
and that be did; and we are Of course bound to
believe him, and would only humbly suggest that
the Courier hereafter adopt some method Of dis
tingnishing the articles of its editors from those
Gifts s writer's Not long ago the Courier, in a
bit Of squabble with this paper, laid special
stress upon the term g writer for the Crescent
We don't wish to be understood as retorting the
1 epithet 6 writer" upon the gentleman who at
present furnishes the editorial columns of that
very excellent French and English Journal
AS to his other charge, that we have 'smali-
ciously distorted % the meaning Of his article,
we stand convicted of all except the malice.
We must perforce plead guilty, because in these
days, when men SO universally say one thing
and mean another, or say things which signify
nothing at all, we have no alternative but to
arrive OF ones meaning by his latest explana-
ton, without at all taking into account what
he may have said or done formerly

SUPREME Court or GEoRaIA.--We perceive
from our Georgia exchanges that Judge Ben

is cosqual and coordinate with the Supreme
Court of the United States, and not inferior and
subordinate to that Court. That as to the re-
served powers, the State Court is supreme; that
as to the delegated powers, the United States
Court is supreme; that as to powers, both dele
gated and reserved concurrent powers-b both
Courts, in the language Of Hamilton, are

quence, the Supreme Court Of the United States
has no Jurisdiction over the Supreme Court of
