Exc1TEMENr IN New ORLEANS
AMONG THE French C1r1zENs.-We
take from the columns Of the CONNER
ciol Bulletin, the following account
Of an adjourned meeting, in reference
to the murder of Francois Girard, on
Orleans st., on 2lst Of May:
The adjourned meeting. of French
men called to take into consideration
the murder Of Girard, took place OF
Thursday evening at the Orleans sa-
loeD. Orleans St, when the committee
previous' y appointed presented their
report and resolutions, which were
adopted. They are to the effect that
the Governor be requested to secure, if
possible, tho arrest of Girard's mur-
dcrers that the French Government
be requested to recall the French Con
sui in consequence Of his incfficicncy
in protecting French residents here
that monument be erected by sub
scription to Girard, with the following
inscription:
Here lies Francois Girard, assas-
sinated in New Orleans on Orleans
ST., on the Dist Of May. 1856" Res
olu'ions were also adopted to the ef-
feet that New Orleans is prey to an
arcby, and that neither the police nor
the administration Of justice can BE-
relied on.
Several addresses were delivered.
some of which bore down severely
upon the outragcs which have too long
disgraced this city, ard which we fer
vently hope the new city adminis.ra-
tion will put an end to.
At Ne election on Monday last for
municipal officers, the Hon. J. B. Elan,
was chosen Mayor of the town of
Mansfield for the ensuing year. The
citizens of our prosperous town ought
to congratulate themselves upon hav-
ing secured the services of this distin-
guished gentleman, and obtained his
consent to preside over its destinies as
chief magistrate. Mr.. f. is ripe
scholar and will certainly fill the posi-
tlon with as much grace and dignity
as he would the bench. His political
procliyities, we believe, are Democra
tic, but that has nothing to do with the
office to which he has been called by
the almost unanimous voice of the pco-
pie. We believe he will make us a
good officer The Aldermen are all
substantial men and good citizcns-dc
serving the confidence Of the people.
May all their acts be pro bono pub

FRAUD IN CoGSAc The London
Times says that it has become quite
customary in England for dealers in
liquors to buy up empty brandy casks,
bearing the brands of the most noted,
Cognac houses, to send them to Ham
burg, Antwerp, and other places, have
hem there filed with inferior spirits
and .reshipped on board Of vessels
bound to the British Colonies, etc.
According to the New York Journal
y Commerce, the same practice pre-
'a'ls on this 81 le of the Atlantic, as
nigh as So and even $40 being paid
or empty casks bearing brand. When
suitable number of these are collec-
cd. brandy is manufactured from raw
