sand times the honor paid her.
WogrHY OF IaITATIoN.-We think it but justice
to good officer for us to notice the extreme
neatness and bnsiness.like regularity with which
everything is done in the Clerks office of the Re-
corder's Court of the Third District. The most
orderly first class commission house cannot excel
| the office we speak Of, and we know of no public
officer whose general obliging conduct more en-
titles him to the respect and friendship of all who
do business with him, than does Mr.. A. Larose.
/ A SUPPOSED ABoLITIoNIsT IN TRoUBLE.--Ye lester
| day afternoon seller of medals and cravats on
Royal street. near the Post office, offered Lincoln
medal for sale, and, in answer to remarks said that
he had "as lief sell Lincoln medals as any other Y
/ etc. An immediate demonstration was the conse-
| quence Medal seller roughly treated-merchan-
| disc capsized-taik about hemp and lamp-post-
| rush at medal seller--meda seller eyacuates.
| Medal seller very sound as to the final clause.
Better go to more congenial cline, and escape
being sent to one even less comfortable.
| p. S. Since writing the above we have OBJ
tanned fuller particulars, and come more truly at
| the merits of the case. The Lincoln medal was in
large lot of medals of all the other Presidential
candidates, which were the joint property of q
youth native to this city named Staub, aged about
| II years, who is clerk in Mr.. Goldthwaites book
| store, and of another boy also bern here who at
! tends the cravat, glove and fancy merchandise
stall of Mr. Reibeck, an Austrian in front Of Mr..
| Goldthwaite's store. (Mr. G. is weknown
native citizen, man of means and Shareholder }
The young gentlemen in question have been specu-
| latng in medals on their own account during the
| campaign, and purchased their supplies Of this
political trinket by the quantity from large house
| in this city. They were not aware thai stray
image of Lincoln had got among their stock. 1t
was discovered accidentally by man who was
looking over them. 1t led to an excitement.
smashing Of the show case, and an assault on young
staub, in which he was severely beaten, being pur-
sued some distance before being caught.
During the excitement Mr.. Reibeck, the owner
of the stall but not OF the medals, came up, and
some one excIaimng that he was the owner Of the
offensive property, rush was made at him. He
fed into Mr.. Goldthwates store, and the doors
were closed to keep off the crowd, who soon got
ladders to storm the store over the rear partition
from the Sazsrac saloon washroom. The doors were
reopened and Reibeek, hearing the threats of rope
and lamp post, broke away and ran down Royal
street, pursued by crowd of two or three hun
Ey,
into Chartres street, and being hard pressed took
refuge in the cake shop ON the corner of Cont and
Chartres streets. Here multitude assembled, and
Reibecks fortunes assumed squally appearance.
AS they were about seizing him special officer
Boullosa came along, arrested him and called on
citizens to aid him in the keeping of the pris
oner. He received assistance, and Reibeek was
safely conducted to the Second District lookup,
fn1Io tba bo,,
| his wounds dressed, appeared and ayowed his
ownership of the medals and explained the posses
sion of the Lincoln medal as above-that he did
not know it was in the Iot-and the crowd dis
persed. The merchants who imported them from
the North are to be questioned, we understand.
| PROBABLE ABoLIfIoNIsT IN TROUBLE. A
schoolmaster from New England, who has been
teaching school in Georgia. imported himself into
New Orleans and put up at the ST. Charles Hotel
on the 1st inst. His name is S. NJ. Whitney, and
after staying awhile he changed his quarters to the
Merchants Hotel where he exercised his talents in
tampering with negro girl, slave. He endeayored,
it seems to seduce this dusky damsel into infdety
to her mistress by picturing the delights Of free
dom and assuring her that she would receive
sl0O in Boston if she could get away and escape to
that modern Athens. The unsophsticated girl
asked her mistress, who is the wife of the clerk of
the hotel, what sort of a place Boston was, and
made other inquiries which excited suspicion. She
was questioned and what was ELECTED was deemed
sufficient to warrant the apprehension of Whitney.
He was apprehended by Messrs. Boylan and Izard
and locked up to await an examination.
