CONVICTION NEWS.

PoLTlcAL.-By q notice in some of the
morning papers call of a mass meeting is
urgently demanded for Saturday evening,
for the purpose Of considering the claims of
candidates for office at the ensuing January
election. This is considered iDjudicious by
many at this time, the people being tired Of
any thing in the shape of conventions. Be-
sides, it is thought it will not reconcile the
claims of opposing candidates, as they have
declared their intention Of running any how,
and not going into a convention. The peo-
pie are disgusted with any thing in the form
Of a convention, which is another name for
trickeTy and fraud. From present appear
ances lively time may be anticipated.
CIRCUIT CouRT.-The Circuit Court meets
on the third Monday Of this month There
are number Of cases on the docket.
STATE TAXES According to bills posted
through our city the 10th instant is the time
fixed for the payment of taxes. After that
time no further indulgence will be given.
RETURNED.-Company @, of Fremont's s
Body-guard, arrived in this city this morn
ing. The men look as though they had seen
some bard service, and altogether wear the
appearance of war worn veterans. Captain
James L. Foley still remains in st. Louis,
but will return tomorrow.
HoGs-Immense droves of hogs are con.
tinually passing through our streets on their
way to Porkopolis, who make the air re-
sound with their musical squeals.
CRY CoUNsIL.-The regular meeting OF
this body takes place this evening In con
nectiou with this subject we heartily indorse
the following, clipped from our cotempora ~
of the Gazette:
1.-THE contemplated resignation of William
Ernst, Esq, President of the City Council
has met with such general disapproval tha
it is more than probable that he will recon
slider his intention. The members of thu
| City Council and the citizens generally, re-
gret his determination, and it is hoped that
their wish for his continuance in the posi-.
tion will cause him to alter it."

LAW REPORT.
COMMON PLHAs.


INDICTMENT FOR SELLING LOTTERY TICKETS.
The State Of Ohio u.s. j. Hart. The defend
ant was indicted for selling lottery tickets,
and demurrer was taken to the fret three
counts of the indictment on the ground that
q ticket which was set forth therein, not
being understood IL was the duty of the
Prosecuting Attorney in framing the indict.
ment to have explained the meaning OF il by
inuendoes.
Judge Garter held that the weight Of au-
thority was against the necessity of setting
forth description of lottery ticket in an
indictment for selling it. 1t was apparent
on the face of the indictment that the de.
fendsnt was charged with selling a ticket OF
this description; and it would not do TO say
it was not an offense-for though in some OF
the States It was not made one, in Ohio the
second section of the Crimes Act referred to
all schemes of chance; and the l26th section
absolutely prohibited all games of chance in
the nature Of lottery. The demurrer was
overruled as to these counts.
The fourth count charged the defendant
as the agent of an unknown concern. This,
in the opinion of the Court, was too uncer.
tain, and the demurrer was sustained.
Exception by the defendants counsel, e
NJ. johnson, to the ruling of the Judge as to
the first three counts. w. H. Kerr repre-.
sented the State.

DEFBEsEs OF NEW oRLEANs.-An officer in
the blOckadiug squadron writes from Ship
Island the following account of the condition
of portion of the defenses of that city:
New Orleans has no fortihcations or defenses
in the rear, and the swamps back of 1t are im-
passable, excepting by the she'll and the rail-
roads. Vessels of all characters, dra wing not
over eleven feet of water, caa ascend Lake
PopchartTRin TO within six miles of the city.
Ten thousand resolute, determined men could
start from the deep waters of Lake BOrgne and
Iesclf-yss reaoh-Ihe landing at the city in
fifteen hours. There is not an armed vessel of
any importance on the lake, and the land for
more than twenty i've miles around Is low
swamp, easily and efeciuaily swept by the gons
of a descent feet / en- also assured that there
could be but one point Of opposition upon this
route, and that is the fort at the main passage
between the two lakes, BoTgue and Ponehar-
train. It is, however, sadly out Of repair, and
mounts but ten or twelve small guns, aud il
gsTTisoned with but two small companies oI
milidAmen from Mississippi. ...

A NEW DODGE AMONG THIEvEs.-We were
informed this morning that the pickpockets
who now infest our city and pounce upon
ladies pockets in large crowds have adopted
a new method of operation. They pair off
by twOs, and in crowds where ladies are
present one will take position in front of a
victim and gently press back against the
weaIer's crinOline, while another in the
rear comes up with his eyes looking at the
object of attraction, at the same time insert
ing his hand, which is covered with shawl
or coat carried on the arm, in the lady's
pocket. Thus they pass from one victim to
another, when discovering policeman, they
vamose until another convenient season
