The question OF Descent.

John Nugent, who drives car No. AZ on the
Bayou Road line, was yesterday made to give bail
for his appearance before Recorder Letten to
stand an examination some time next week. Ac-
cording to Nugent's statement, while driving his
car upon Esplanade street, on Thursday, he was
reproached by one of the passengers with allow
ing quadroon to ride in his car, although it was
not set apart for that portion of our population.
Nugent thought that the lady was Sp&niard or
Mexican, from her appearance, and refused to
interfere for some time during which interval the
lady herself, who is of i1nquestoned wkte blood
and of very respectable family, was charged by
the passenger with taking seat to which she had
no right. But upon second complaint to him.
Nugent declined allowing her to rem8in. The
lady vehemently stated her white status, gave her
name and residence, and made such a courageous
stand, that she was allowed to remain without
further molestation. Yesterday she lodged her
complaint against the driver, and he was then
arrested.
The question is delicate one, but considering
the dark complexion Of a large number of our
population who are, unquestionahy, of Caucasian
lineage, it is one which calls for great care upon
the part of drivers. When there is any doubt
the passenger ought always to have the benefit of
the doubt, and the parties who complain ought to
be made to give their names. The man who {;rst
raised tie objection in this case without knowing
anything about the lady, is the one who ought
now to be held RESPONSIBLE, as he no doubtwilbe
as soon as he is found.

REoPENING OF CRESCENT BILLIARD Habit
may not be generally known even here, that New
Orleans has the largest blizzard hall in the United
States; perhaps the largest in the world. We
refer TO the Crescent Hall at the corner of St.
Charles and Canal streets, presided over by. that
experienced gentleman in the billiard business,
Col. a. W. Merriam. We had thought there was
no room for further Improvement in Crescent Hall,
but it seems that it has been closed tor a week
for the purpose of thorough renovation, repair,
decoration and establishment, and will be re-
opened tonight with even more than its former
gplendor Col Merriam sets forth all the facts in
the card which he publishes to-day, and We look
for grand reunion of his friends, customers and
pa irons at'his beautiful hall this evening.

Stealing Made Easy.

before Recorder Gastinel. They were accused
Of rohDing recent arrival in this city, Of

after had been recently landed upon the
levee with carpet bag in his hand and an other
wise reliable appearance, when he was politely
accOsted by the accused, and an offer made to him
to relieve him Of his burden. Charmed at their
attention to perfect stranger, but a little won
defing thereat, Rufus unsuspectingly handed over
his baggage to his kindly disposed friends Once
having their handsupon it, Messrs, Robinson and
Hall lost so little time in putting wide distance
between it and its owner, that he did not again see
it until he had been assisted in his search by the
police Robinson and Hall were arrested and
identified and one might have thought they would
have been little embarrassed at the circum-
stance. Not at all, nothing in reality was more
easy than an escape from the situation. Hay-
ing given bail for their appearance, they
again approached the now distrustful Rufus
and observed to him that the wisest course that Inn
could pursue would be to take his yalise and re-
turn to St. Louie. Rufus, not knowing what fur
ther perils were in store for him, and thinking
that the possession OF his valise was not only nine
points in the law, but worth to him all Of the
balance put together, is supposed to have taken
the advice and with it the vase. The prosecutor
being absent, for which contingency the law does
not provide, the case, Of course, fell through, and
Justice was left indignant, but with nothing else
to do but shrug her shoulders and let the accused
go. 1t is Thus seen that these thieves do not run

but strangers, as one might imagine, as in case
