but there's difficulty in the way, which we are
afraid can't be overcome. The telegraph ,oiH charge
reporters just the same as other people, and reporters
ean'ts afford to buy the telegraph. So soon as the
telegraph shall put the press its free list let the
readers of the Register and the Crescent look out for
snorting double-barreled reports of all that takes
place in Mobile aud New Orleans. Won't it be SO,

THIS REPORTER wishes to ask is the commitment
of the City Recorders worth anything or is it worth
nothing? This reporter is in the dark, (beng no
| lawyer,) in the case that follows:
One day last week, Special Officer Rufus r. Hunt
arrested man named Lanier, upon good information
that he had stabbed man named Atkinson some
where in Mississippi, with intent to kill. Hunt made
his affidavit before Recorder Summers, and next day
Laner was arragned The Recorder committed him
to prison to await examination on the 2lst instant
this morning. The fact of the arrest was telegraphed
to the Sheriff of the county in which the ofense was
committed and forthwith came teIegraphic reply,
requesting that the prisoner be held until an officer
should arrive with requisttion from the Govern OF
Mississippi r
Yesterday morning, the Mississippi officer arrived
with Governors requistion, and the $3.50 in ca b
which had been offered as reward for the arrest oil
the fugitive Then it discovered that the fugitive
was not in prison. where the Recorder had committed
him. Inquiries disclosed the fact that on Thursday
last the prisoner through counsel employed sued for
his liberty by habeas corpus, before Judge Duvig
neaud, of the Third District Court. The suit wa {
brought not against the Recorder for illegal com
mltment, but against the Sheriff for holding the pris
oner on an alleged illegal commitment by the Record
er. The Sheriff only was cited to appear He, MOI
knowing whether the Recorders commitment was
right or wrong, could offer defense, and as mat
ter OF course, the prisoner was set at liberty
This reporter, not being lawyer, does not say
that there was anything wrong in the proceeding
before Judge Duyigneaud but, in his ignorance, h
would respectfully ask, ought not the Recorder as
matter Of courtesy if not Of right to have been citet
to appear, that he might explain why he had com
mitted prisoner, under circumstances alleged by the
prisoner to be Illegal and decided so to be by tn,
Judge? Have District Court Judges the power to de
eide Recorders commitment to be worth nothing
when the Recorder has not been cited to explain thu
reasons Of the commitment?

THE PELICAN CRICKET CLUB " is the title of
new cricket organization in this city, by number
young gentlemen who know the value and healthfu
influence of manly field sports. The Club inten,
practising this evening, on Louisiana Avenue betweel
Nayades and Magazine streets; also, on Thursda,
evenings. We hope soon to see the Club proiicen
enough obanter the older Club, the Crescent City, t.
match, for the cream of the game is when tw
separate Clubs contend for the honors, as in othe
Cities and not when played by separate members Q
the same club.
