The legislative cmcusses of the Fremonters to-
night have been fully attended and the principle of
continued Republican union was well maintained in
the nomination OF men who stand by it, and in the
general desire of all for fusion. OF the five candi-
dates nominated for officers Of the two Houses Ony
one is an American. The resi- are all Republicans
and Anti-Gardner.
The American State Council to-day was a Hat
failure, only about one hundred we're present. The
attempt to reght the secret council fires is rdicued
by leading Americans.
Mr. Sumner will be- reelected on Friday il not
tomorrow, and he will not resign during this
session of the Legislature any way.

The Police Commission has at length got 10
work. For three or four months business was
entirely suspended, Mayor Wood refusing to eau
the regular meetings for reasons which were quite
apparent. Now Judge CaprOn is out Of office, and
however refractory Recorder Smith may be, there
is probability that the shining legal light which
burns in Csprons place, will find any cause to differ
from Mr.. Wood. The May therefore, once more
practically sous and independent head Of the
Police Department, snd is dealing out justice after
his own fashion. Two officers, charged with the
crime # having tickets in their hands at the polls
have already been beheadsd. They were not among
those who paid assessments to defray the expenses
Of the Democratic" candidates but had fatal
leaning toward Americanism. Another officer is

Mr.. STEPHENS ga. resumed the discussion of

compromise measures Of 1850, and that now there
was no Congressional restriction upon Slavery in
INV of the Territories He would like TO see Kan
sas admitted as Slave State, but though such an
event Is not at all probable. The laws OF pOpula'

Death Of William ]. Stone.

Died at Granada, State of Nicaragua, Central
America, VIM. ]. STONE, who was killed on the
last day of the seige Of Granada. Mr.. STONE
was a young man of many fine and noble quail
ities-just such as destiny selects for pioneers
in the cause of progress, civilization and liber-
ty. He graduated at - college in Maryland, if
we mistake not, some three years since, and
afterwards resided about year at his fathers
plantation in this parish after which we hear Of
him in Nicaragua. The letter of a friend speaks
of him as being engaged in all the great battles
of that country-but at last fell, fighting like
a hero! The writer is himself known to be a
young man of undoubted courage and veraci-
ty, and testimony from such a source is in-
deed worthy of record. The deceased was of
a warm, sanguine and ardent temperament
impulsive and generous-and though such ma
lures may be led into many errors Of the head,
they are generally covered with a thousand
virtues. In his case, his deeds and his death in
the cause of Nicaragua have honored his lame,
the parish of his adoption, his national title of
"Americau," and washed from memory every
vestige of youthful indiscretions which he
may have had (and who has not y and left TO
the future a vaIor worthy of imitation. His ia
Their, DR.. ]. P. r. STONE, lives about seven
miles from this place.

We cannot afford the space to give the en-

those proceedings sufficiently interesting to
warrant US in doing so. We shall content our
selves in giving from week to week just such
as we think are entitled to special notice, with.
out referring to date, it being understood that
the proceedings given by US here occurred du-
ring the past week:
By Mr.. st. Paul, q bill to yacate iastanter all
the Offices of ~notaries public in the parish of
Orleans, and to authorize the Governor to ap-
point sixty others, designating, specially, the
one by. whom are to be kept the archives of the
parish. The bill was passed on its first and
second readings, and referred.
ByMr. Munday, a bill to amend acts in ref.
erence to crimes and offences; a bill to fix the
fees ofjustices of the peace in civil and criminal
cases.
A bill to punish the sending of threatening
letters.
A bill to exempt one negro slave from sell
zure and sale on execution, and if a female, the
issue thereby up to ten years of age.
Mr.. Duperier, an act to prevent the enlanci-
patton of slaves. Referred to the Judiciary
committee.
The resolutions ~eulogising the political.
course Of Senator Benjamin, came up and gave
rise to discussion.
The resolution to appoint nine members of
the House to provide some better means to
protect life and property in New Orleans
Adopted.
The resolutions of instruction to Senators
and representatives relative to the proposed re.
duction of the tariff on sugar, gave rise to dis.
%cnssion. pending which the House adjourned.

A GENEROUS Acr.-While in New Orleans a

A GENEROUS AcT.-While in New Orleans a
week or two since, we happened to be engaged in business
with a gentleman in his counting-room, when a youth en-
tered, handed the gentleman a note, and said something in
French in rather q low voice. The proprietor of that SPLEEN
did establishment arose from his seat. and taking the hum
BILE looking boy by the hand, went to the desk of his cash
clerk, and procuring a bank note, placed it in his hand
After which he made several inquiries of the youth and
then dispatched him, saying to him loud enough for US to
hear it, as the boy turned to lceve, "Tell her, that I say she
must keep up her spirits-I will call and see her" "That
was q message" said Mr.. Munroe-for the gentleman was
Alfred Munroe, "a Magazine street-"from an old negro
woman who has been supplying me with cakes and the like
for many years, a faithful old creature, who has fallen
down in the street and hurt herself, and cannot allow her
to suffer- We thought, as he thus addressed US, that the
act was a noble one, and as an episode in the hurry and
business of city life, which merited particular notice.

The Bayou Sarah Wall Boats.

Some days since we noticed a paragraph in
the Comet, the tenor of which, if we are not
mistaken, reflected upon the manner in which
Messrs. CoTToN q LANDRY Owners of the
Bayou Sarah Packets,) have fulfilled their con-
tract for carrying the mail between these two
and intermediate points.
While we do not wish to be considered az
condemning the editorial alluded to, yet we
must be permitted to say [and we say it with
out the least desire to flatter the above con-
~tractors) that for the length of time we have
been publishing a paper in this place, we have
never known the mails delivered with more
punctuality than their boats have delivered
them; and we feel assured that the whole CONS
munity will join US in this testimony. Nor do
we believe that it is possible for any boats or
any company, to deliver them more punctnalIy.
Of course there are occasions (but to our
knowledge they have been very rare) when it
is impossible to come up to the very hour
when the mail is expected or due, in conse"
quence of fog, or bad weather, against which
there is no guarding. But the simple fact that
throughout the length of time the above gem
tlemen have had the contract, no accident to
either of their boats has occurred, or the oc<
currence Of any description of negligence that
could be imputed to them, is evidence indis.
putable of their faithfulnes and urgent endea,
vOrs generally to fulfill their obligations, both
to the Government and to the community.

Death Of ]. 8. Webb.

The letters from Granada inform US of the
death Of Mr.. J. SEDLEY WEBB, formerly Of
this parish. Mr.. WEBB emigrated to Nicara.
qua last spring. He died at Virgin Bay Of fe>
yer. The deceased, we believe, was, at one time
a cadet at the West Point Academy. He had
excellent que lities for making a good soldier
and officer, and from the account received of
since his departure from here, we have no
doubt that, had he lived, he would have carved
for himself a bright name in his adopted coun.
try. Mr.. WEBB was in the Mexican war, whore
ne held the office of Adjutant in the Louisiana
Regiment, and acquitted himself with honor.
He has held several public Offices in this pa
rlsh' where he leaves many friends and relatives
to mourn his fate. Peace to his ashes.
