but as as peace is declared, the military or
ganization will cease, and the association will
only attend to civil matters. Eachmember will be
bsund by oath never TO employ in any capacity
Yankees when anybody else can be got, never to
WORK with them, nor to encourage them to
emigrate here. There s Quite a large number of
our best mechanics already belonging to this or
ganization, and as its objects must appear to be
commendable to every person, it will no doubt fill
up soon. IN
Ii STABBJNG AFFAIR.-A man named Daniel Coyle,
who keeps little oyster shop on Cont street,
near Rampant, was stabbed and dangerously
wounded, on Saturday night about o'clock, by
Oscar Blasco. The particulars of the affair as near
as we could learn them are about as follows:
Basco went into little coffee booth, which Is kept
by an old negro woman next door to the corner Of
Rampant street, and called for coffee. The old
woman had no light and took some time in getting
| one, which enraged Blasco, who became quite
noisy anc abusive. Coyle, whose shop is near by,
hearing the fuss, called out to him to keep less
noise, and made of other language, which jrri-
tated Basco, who went into his shop with his COM
panions, and assaulted Coye, who was behind his
counter. A desperate fight ensued, and Coyle was
| and the young men ram Blasco was arrested, but
his companions escaped. Coyle was sent to the
Charity Hospital.
ESCAPE OF A CoSyIcT.-On Saturday morning,
after Judge Coens had sentenced all the convicts,
| they were returned to the Parish Prison in the
Black Maria. While they were being taken out of
this vehicle, and passed into the prison, escorted
| by Deputy Sheriff, one of them, the well.known
| thief, Thomas McAyoy, who had been sentenced to
years Imprisonment for assaultng officer Lafay-
ette managed to give the Deputy Sheriff the slip
| and make his escape. McAvoy effected his escape
by suddenly slipping loose from the grasp of the
officer, and running off at Bull Run speed down the
street. He was pursued, but got entirely clear. He
can hardly remain at large long, as he is too well
known; but if he does succeed in getting away en-
| tirely, we do not know but what good citizens
should congratulate themselves after all, for he
was an incorrigible scoundrel whom we can well
afford to lose.
lNrEMPERANoE AND ExposuRE.-The body of a
man named Norbert Lefranc was found on Satur-
day afternoon, near the track of the Mexican Gull
Railroad, about three miles below the city, and it

the Coroner, it appeared that the poor man had
died from intemperance and exposure. He was
| SO years of age, and a native of this city.
