An ESD OF THE ELLIS CAsE.-The Mayor gave
his decision in this case yesterday morning 1t was
that the parties in both the tarring and feathering
case and the charge Of Aboltionism, should be
discharged. Therefore, the whole matter has fiz-
zled out. .-r'
A .SiSGrLAR CASE OF KfDSAPpING.-Tgo men,
brothers, named Thomas c. and J.%W. Scales, who
arrived in this city on Wednesday by the steamer
Lizzie Simmons, from Memphis, were arrested
upon suspicion that all was not exactly right
with them. They had with them negro man
named Isaac, whom they said they had captured
in Missouri, and intended to sell down here. II
appears from their story that Isaac was free, and
well-known agent of the underground railroad at |
Cairo, and that they had received permission from
Gen. Pillow to capture him if they could, and dis
pose Of him as they thought proper. This story |
was considered highly improbable by the Captain
of the Lizzie Simmons, and on his arrival he at
once informed the police. The two men were ex-
amined by Mayor Monroe yesterday, and remand
ed to await communication with Gen. Pillow as to
the truth of the story. In their possession were
founi two passes purporting to be from Gen. Pill
low, in which permission was given them to enter
the Confederate lines at will but although both
passes purport to have been written and signed by
the General in person, they are different in hand
writing which, to the nostrs of the police smells
like forgery. The case is singular one, and we
shall await the clearing of it up with curiosity.

negro was an Abolition agent we cannot exactly
see by what right Gen. Pillow can authorize any
body to sell prisoners of war, OF even if he had
right we question the policy of bringing free me-
gsoes here from the West to mix with our slaves.
| A BRUTAL ATTAcK.-On Wednesday night as E.
J. Fairchild was quietly sitting upon the steps of
his house on Baronne street, he was assaulted and
cut by one c. ". Stofer in q most ferocious and
brutal manner. Fairchild was sent to the Charity
Hospital for surgical aid and Stoher arrested and
| locked up. 1t appears that this was the second
attack made by Stofier upon Fairchild, during the
| week. and from what we hear suppose the trouble
| between them originated out of information given
| to the Confederate Receiver by Fairchild, in re-
gard to an interest owned by an alien in a drug
business carried on here by Stoher. The case
| will be looked into at an early date.
| A STREET BEGGAR -UNMAsKED.-Officer Bouilosa
arrested a woman yesterday morning named An
gela Secchi, alias Angela Juan Baptiste at No. 79
Dumain street, upon the charge that she was a
| beggar and imposter. She is quite good looking
4 woman supposed to be Italian, and has for some
time past made living by begging money about
the streets. As an inducement for people to give,
she shows the following certificate, which we give
Uerbdtin
The bearer Mrs. Angela Secchi humbly represent
herself before your very kind sympathy her actual
state
Her husband was a merchant in fruits and mis-.
fortunately from Naches he went on board the i'll
fated steamer Fl. R. W. Hill for n Orleans and wen
above 40 miles from New Orleans boiler burst
and kill himself among to 45 passengers; and left
in great poverty all his family, consisting Of his
wife and two small children without relief to pro.
| vide for.
By this sad occurrence we can with confidence
recommend this poor unfortunate lady, to all the
charitable Beneactors, for to obtain her some aid
and assistance, that she may be able to return II
her home. 1t will be great favours, and God vii
recompensc your charity in time of trouble.

an impression that she generally went off with full
hands. Officer Boullosa some how found out, how
ever, that she never was married. and as for hel
, children they only existed in her imagination. HI
followed her up until he got together sufficient evi
dence. of her rascality, and then pounced dow
, upon her. Recorder Gastinel will examine int
her case in few days. In the meantime she i
out on ball. but has left her precious document i
Court as keepsake.
Il The city is full of such characters, and we ar
glad to see that efforts are being made to look int
their claims. We often hear of robberes bein
committed by parties who gain admttance int
people's premises under the pretence of bein
r children of misfortune, and it frequently happer
l. that ladies are insulted and abused by these vii
dregs of humanity when refused the gifts they asl
