The BLoUNT CAsE.-The scandal connected
with the names of Capt. de Riviere, the French
adyepturer, and Mrs. and Miss Emily j. Blount,
of Mobile, was, on Friday last, brought near its
close by the sensible decision of Mrs. Blount to
produce the daughter at the earliest moment
and the two to proceed with the father to Mo-
bile at an early day How this conclusion has
been brought about is matter Of surmise, based
upon the meager facts which have been obtain
ed from various sources. The whole matter
was accomplished at the Courthouse at Bergen,
N. j., on Friday, during several interviews be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs Blount, pending the proceed
ines before Judge Ogden. 1t is said that Mrs
Blount has lost faith in the imposter RiYiere,
and has also run out of money!
1t was a streak of good luck to the New York
newspapers that this case was transferred TO
that city. They have made the most OF it. 10
A letter which Mrs. Blount published last week,
she stated that reporters for the press had an
noyed her very much by seeking, interviews
with her, and politely asked them to desist. Such
impudence on the part of reporters would not
be tolerated elsewhere.
