the Justices Courts and does large business, and

old and rickety, and the floor is burlesqued with

the WALL and the Judges chair both Of which are the
private property Of the Clerk The Clerks office is
fitted up with more neatness and convenience than
any other Clerks office in the buildings but this is

Clerk, who has had everything done at his own pri-

This is the Probate Court, in which the great and
valuable business of closing and opening SUGGESTIONS
ia carried on. 1t is in the basement of the lower
building at the ST. Ann street end. The court room
is small, dark, and more Or less shabby The Clerks
Office is across the passage in the rear building,
divided by an open court or space from the Sheriff
Office. 1t is dark, damp unhealthy, crowded. cheapIy
and badly furnished a portion of the records and
papers have no proper protection and it is utterly
unfit for the extensive business transacted there all
the year round. Most Of the late improvements and
an iron safe have been introduced by the Clerk at his
own expense. The rear part Of the Office cannot be
kept open in warm weather. on account of the stencil
from the opposite water-closets.

offices adjoining and fronting the same street The
Courtroom lacks both size and beauty and might be
taken as fair specimen of room transmitted to rs
unchanged from the last century. The seats Of the
judges are passable; but nothing else. In order to
get into the Clerks Office tail man has to duck his
head under a low doorway, and turn corners, and go
down fight of steps, much as if he were penetrat
ing cave. The Office is gloomy as dissecting-room
the records kept in shabby pine cases and whilst
nearly all the light is shut out of the back end by the
extension of the Clerks Office of the Fifth District
Court, the odorous blasts from the waterclosets i'm
medately across the passage compel the windows to
be kept closed during the warmest weather. Back Of
the office is a melancholy room, with long, mean
looking baize.Coyered table in its CENTER and this is
the consultation room of the Supreme Judges, The
law library is crammed into the narrow passage be-
tween the Courtroom and the front building and the
books all of the most valuable kind are kept on open
shelves. The Supreme Judges we learn, are heartily
dissatisfied with the Court and all its arrangements
so much So that they contemplate leaving it soon and
pettiOning the State for decent accommodations.
They have a large new law library coming on, and
there is no place to put it but this is their least
cause Of complaint.

This is perhaps the greatest curiosity in the whole
Of the Courthouse buildings. 1t is in the lower rear
building, fronting on Cathedral alley and is Just
abont oneourth as large as it ought to be- In order
to economic space and to save the clerks and depa
ties and their desks from the ostling Of the crowds
every desk fenced in with high railing or enclosed
in a cage without which arrangement it would be
utterly impossible to get along with the immense
business of the Office. 1t is as dark as cave all day
long, gas being much used in the day time, and is
damp and unhealthy. A great part of the books and
papers have to be piled up in an exposed way and
there is no comfort or convenience whatever in or
around the Office, save what little may be derived
by those who can become accustomed to anything.
Some Of the Sheriff work is, or was done in the
rigkety old row on ST. Ann street; in which row
also the shameful old rooms, or holes, in which
the Grand Jury are expected to meet, and in which
the clerks and uries of the First District Court used
to do their work The lower Courthouse building
is, in short, the most comprehensive concentrated
and unmtigated pile Of penury and odfogyism to be
found in the South lightweight to judicial bust
! ness, and disgrace to the city.

old carpet which looks if might have come down

THE OTHER OFFICES.

In the upper building besides the First District
Court already mentioued) are the Recorders office
and the Lock Up of the Second District the Second
District School Library and Directors room, Jus
tees Court, and several other small Offices The
Library and Recorders Court being handsomely and
nicely fitted up form part of our present expose of
the Courthouse buildings. The Lookup, we may
state, en- PEASANT, is damp, nasty, uncomfortable
affair, not fit for modern prison, but it also is ex.
empt from our remarks concerning the Courthouses.
Our object is simply to show the condition of the
Supreme Court and the six District Courts Just as
they actually exist, in the hope of arousing public
attention to the facts, and stimulating the proper
persons to set about giving New Orleans what she
wants, and has wanted for some years-a large
modern Courthouse OF houses, with light ventilation,
security against fire. and the different conyeniences
which the smooth and expeditions administration of
justice requires The liability Of the present build
ngs and all they contain to destruction by fire, at
any time, is the greatest objection of all.

THE OLD COuRTHOuSES,

Opposite Jackson Square, and separated by the
Cathedral stand two ancient buildings, in which at
present is transacted the business of the Six Judi
eal District Courts of New Orleans with that of the
Supreme Court the sherHalty, the Second District
School Board, the Second District Recorder, and
quantity Of other business belonging to the machinery
Of our local government.
These buildings were built in the list century,
whom New 0rlears wr7 Spanish city. The old
Spanish appearance renders them interesting to the
stranger aud their stout old Spanish walls are time
defying they are in fact respectable by son of
their age and their capability of becoming horsaud
years older. But when they were built, New Orleans
was village to what it is now and though they
might have sem more than adapted to the public
wants in the last century they do not half answer
the purpose now when the city is the great metropo-
lis Of the South and West, about twenty times q

taste, that no one coming to New Orleans for the
FIRST time, and visiting her temples of justice, can
restrain exclamation of wonder, and smile 1 think
that such city should have such coui houses.
Time and time again, within the LIST few years,
have the old comGhouses been denounced rs unfit for
their uses Judges have pointed out the most serious
wants to grand juries grand juries have made long
reports and urgent appeals for much needed improve

dollars and so it has gone and so it will go, until
the powers that be awake to the necessity of liberal
and thorough reform in the shape OF a new court
! house, or until FIRE shall break out some day and
destroy the old traps with millions Of dollars worth
valuable papers and records, public and private.
That the old courthouses are sotally insufficient fol

The RIGHTS OF CoLoRED PAssENGERs.-In the
case Of VIM H. Day, q colored man, against John
Owen, owner Of the steamer Arrow, plying between
Detroit and Toledo the Supreme Court of Michigan
has decided that propretors of steamboats, have The
right to refuse cabin passage to coored persons The
Court said
The right to be carried is a right superior to the
rules and regulations of the boat, and cannot be
affected by them. If defendant had refused to carry
the plaintiff generally, he would be liable unless he
could show some good excuse releasing him from the
obligation. While this is q right that cannot be
touched by rules and regulations the accommodation
Of passenger while being transported is subject to
such rules and regulations as the carrier may think
proyer to make, provided they be reasonable. The
right to be carried is one thing the privilege of a
passenger on board of the boa-what part of it may
be occupied by him, or he have the right to use-is
another thing.
The above is a fair specimen of Abolition hypoc-
ricy. Michigan is as thorough an Abolition State rs
Vermont and its voters manifest on every occasion
that presents itself the most malignant hostility to
the people of the South They will steal slaves, run
them off to Canada, abuse Shareholders, curse the
Supreme Court of the Union for its decisions maign
the President aud do everything else that is dsloyal
and disreputabIe, but when a decent free negro Of
their own State applies for cabin passage on their
own steamboats,, tenders his money therefor, is re-
fused, and appeals to their Abolition Courts for re.
dress he is contemptuously told that nggers
havnt equal rights with white Abolitonists, and
that they can't come into the cabin! What miserable
what sickening hypocricy

lAPoRTANT TELEGRAPHIU MovEMENT.-An orEani-
cation of all the Geographic lines in the United
States Except the seaboard line from Boston to New
Orleans, which points are also connected by wires
through the interior0 we learn from the New York
Journal Of Commerce, is just being perfected, under
the title of the " North American Telegraphc Asso-
ciation,a having for its object the union, extension
and improvement of telegraphic facilities throughout
the country The first meeting in New FORK recently
embraced seven Geographic corporations, including
one in Canada. Arrangements are now making
more in detail so that in few days the whole may
be announced as complete. A primary object, we I'M
derstand, is to effect united, comprehensive and
economical working Of the whole Geographic system
under which tolls may be reduced to the lowest remu
nerative rates.
We learn that tae North American Telegraphic
Association has already taken action with view to
the early completion of direct tclegraphic conncc-
ton of de Mississippi 1tvcf oth California, under
the grant Of the late Congress- (procured through the
efforts OF the late Mr. Eddy, General Superintendent
of the American Telegraph Company of strip Of
land two hundred feet in width through the public
domain between those points. This enterprise is in
no way connected with dependent upon other pro-
jects already existing for extending lines from Cali
fornia to Missouri or San Antonio in Texas nor
does it follow that the expedition with which the
work is prosecuted will be in any degree affected by
the course of events in relation to the Atlantic Gable
although the success OF the latter would greatly
duee to the prosperity of the former.
Thus we see the way opening with rapid strides for
the final union of America with Asia and Europe by
way Of Behring's Straits, or the Aleutian Islands.
