SECOND DISTRICT COURT,

The people Of New Orleans will be called on
to vote at an important judicial election, which
takes place on the 18th Of August. The cleo
ton Of Judge Lea to the Supreme Bench has,
as our readers well know, rendered vacant the
Judgeship Of the Second District Court. This
is a court Of the highest Importance 1t is the
Probate Court, and acts and decides upon all
succesaions, estates, ETC., etc We merely al
lude to these facts to show the great necessity
which exists that q suitable man should be
chosen to fill the high and responsible position
4 A gentleman has been announced as eandi-
date for the office whom we think especially
well qualified in all respects We allude to
Philip Hicky Morgan, ESQ. Hepossesses learn
ing, ability and research Of no common order,
as the first and oldest members Of the bar will
testify. AS the principal contributor to valua-
Bile notes and references in the Revised Editions
of the Civil Codes of Louisian and the Code OF
Practice, published under his supervision, and
as the superintendent Of the republication Of
Martins Reports, old and new series, be has
acquired a knowledge Of our laws and courts,
probably not equaled by any man of his years
in the State. In fact, we are Of opinion that it
would be difficult to find his superior, throwing
age entirely out of the question.
AS our respected contemporary Of the Bulletin
says, we says " He is gentleman of patient
industry, studious habits, and is we'll known
to a large body of our citizens as possessing in
an eminent degree the virtues and qualifications
suited to the Bench" AS such we shall cor
daily support him, and trust no opposition will
be made to his election. We have an oppor.
tunity to obtain good Judge. Let us en-
brace it.

EprToRIAI. COMPREHENSION. We perceive. by
the Baton Rouge papers, that our friend dEoReE
a. PIKE, the sprightly and original editor Of
the Comet, is announced az a candidate for the
House Of Representatives. Well, We are rather
glad Of it than otherwise; for, although the
descent from the editorial stool to the chair Of
Representative is very great, still. as Pike will
make d first-rate law-maker and the State
needs such sadly we suppose the necessity will
justify the step and plead in extenuation.
The Baton Rouge Gazette pays the following
just and merited tribute to Mr.. Pike, which we
copy and endorse:
George A. Pike, We announce the name Of our
contemporary, Third street, id connection with seat
In the Lower House Of the Legislature with real pleasure
Thoroughly acquainted With the wansand interests Of the
parish Pike possesses the ability and integrity REQUISITE
tosee that thsy well caredfor Wedoubt il there

people Of this parish deserysdly popular Mr.
Pike and that be will receive overwhelming majority
in the coming ia beyond the possibility Of doubt
In his case, know the office sought the man. and that
1t was with reluctance he consented to have his nam
used in such connection.

Loss of Life in the War.

The progress Of science and civilization does
not seem to have rendered war less bloody than
Of yore, or even to have diminished the oontin-
gent losses by exposure and disease When it is
stated that in the wars of the French Republic,
and Empire 100000 Of men were lost to
Europe, the first feeling is one of incredulity;
but, if we may judge by the events Of the past
eighteen months, the present struggle is destined
to exceed all that have gone before in the wide
spread destruction which it will cause. From
an authority which there is every reason to
trust, learn that the Turkish Empire has lost
$780, 900 men since the declaration Of war in the
autumn of 1868. The French have, since their
arrival in the East, lost 10000, dead or inva-
lided; while the British have suffered to the
extent of $4,000
Although Austria has not been at war, vet
her occupation Of the provinces and the forma-
ton Of immense camps, which are always more
or less unhealthy, have cost her no slight dimi-
mutton Of force. But, putting aside the neutral
Powers, the Allies, French, British and Turks,
appear to have lost about 100000 men. The
loss Of the Russians was stated by Lord Lans-
downe to be also $50 900, but there is reason to
believe that this calculation is below the truth
Taking into account the mortality on board the
ships-of-war and transports, and among the
laborers Of different kinds attached to the
armies, Of whom there are some thousands in
the Crimea, 1t may be assumed that from soc, 900
to 600, 600 men have persisted or become invaded
| since the commencement of the war. And yet
it cannot be said that there have been many
bloody battles, or indeed any fighting on the
scale Of the gigantic contests which marked
the wars of the French Empire. When opera
tions are conducted on q larger field, we must
expect still greater losses, and be prepared for
supplying reinforcements in greater numbers
and with greater regularity than has as yet
been thought necessary

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. - We take
the following from the Baton Rouge Gazette of
the 9th:
we learn from the Advocate that Mr. Davidson on
being informed that Mr.. Pond nominated by the
American Convention as his competitor for Congress,
dressed him letter of invitation be present at Winters
Springs yesterday, to discuss the politics of the day.
Whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make mad
somebody has said The above is an apt illustration Of
the proverb Why Mr. Dadvidson should trial Of
strength with Mr. Pond only be explained upon the
suppotion that he is gone stark mad for in his right
mind he would sooner encounter uncaged lion.
Col Davidson is a veteran electioneerer, and
makes o slashing stump speech, but he will find
his antagonist superior to him on all points.
We regard Mr.. Pond as one Of the most eloquent
speakers in the State, taking rank with the
very ablest. Nothing would better comport
with the interests of the American Party, than
to have Davidson and Pond canvass the whole
district thoroughly in company.
We really trust some such arrangement may
be entered upon

otherwise; for, while our religious charity

morning near Atalanta, by the wife of VIM.
Montgomery. She hung herself with rope
fastened to limb Of peach tree On the day
previous she prepared her children's clothes, 50
that they might be dressed appropriately to fol-
low her to her grave, and before hanging her
self, dressed for the tomb. She leaves five small
children. She was formerly from Ohio, and her
maiden name was futile. No cause is assigned
for the self-murder.n

QUARANTINE AT v1oKssuRe.


As yet no quarantine has been established at
Vicksburg, although the press has urged the
City Council to prompt and vigorous action,
time and again. The following, from the SEN
tinel of the 26th, gives pretty good account
of the feeling prevailing there, we presume4
QuARAHTNEIt ia much to be regretted that our City
Council did not succeed at their special meeting Mon
day evening" in completing this desirable measure-the
most eeetua precaution against the nroads Of the
disease which is now commencing its desolatng
the city of New Orleans The various conflicting inter
ests which almost invariably attend the adoption Of
measure of this nature have contributed in slight
gree to retard ita progress but graed to learn
that the impedimenss which have presented themselves
to great extent and that there is
that the quarantine will be in operation in time to
accomplish the desired object.
We cannot, and do not, blame our up-river
neighbors for the excitement they manifest re-
specting the danger of the spread of the yellow
fever. Neither shall we blame them, no matter
how stringent the measures they put in force
for their own protection Self-preservation is
the first law of nature.
But, we respectfully submit, as our deliber-
ate opinion, founded upon experience and obser-
walton, that there is little or no danger of the
spread of the yellow fever this season. We have
not the remotest idea that it will become cpl
demic in the city. The local feuer is not to be
dreaded, 1t is the imported article that causes
the devastation. As yet we have heard of no
importations from the tropics and until we do
hear Of such importations. we shall adhere to
the opinions previously maintained by u.s.
The sickness is almost exclusively confined to
class Of persons whose condition and habits
make them particularly liable to disease. Be
sides which, the weather has been for long
time exceedingly unfayorable. A few days Of
good weather would have an excellent effect.

FATAL AoCDEST.-The Baltimore Sun, Of the
25d, states that on the previous day one of the
watchmen of that city discovered on the pave
ment in front Of o dwelling in Britton street,
near Chew. the body of woman, with q child
about eighteen months old. Upon taking hold
of the woman. it was found she was in dying
state, if not dead. DIR. William II. Tarr was
sent for, who on examination, found the woman
dead. Her name was Rosanna Kelly, wife Of
Michael Kelly, an employee in the establishment
of Messrs Denmead It is inferred from sur
rounding circumstances that she had been wait
ing for the coming of her husband home, hay
ing supper prepared for him; that she took
her child in her arms, and while looking out Of
second story window, accidentally lost her
balance and fell to the pavement below. Her
head was dreadfully crushed, and some Of thu
brain was found scattered ON the pavement
One of her large arteries were burst, from
which the blood flowed profusely. She was tn,
mother of two young children, and was abou
twenty-five years of age Her little child re
ceived but slight injury comparatively.
