LOCATION FOR A Hon 'CHANGE.-We believe 1t
is the intention of the merchants of New orleans,
and the design ought to be, we think, thoroughly
approved, to found High Change in this city.
The mercantile community need it, and they will
see the very important advantage it will be to
them when properly established. There are Two
locations named for such purpose--the Moresque
Buildings and the Masonic Hail. Both are unex-
ceptlonable 80 far as location and accommodation
are concerned and almost the only question, under
tn, Sc circumstances, will be that of economy.
LETTING IT DowN-Last evening, as we were
politely requesting, as we always mean to do
though in our usual manner anyhow-our courteous
Clerk of the Supreme Court, Mr. 1lsbury, to
accommodate US in matter pertaining to our
business, we became impressed with the idea that
the big rain, which had pursued US so unrelent-
ngly, had unwarrantably invaded the august pre-
cincts of the Supreme Court. 1t was even SO,
but the rain did not mean to do it, but an open
ing was left and in its industrious course, it was
bound to go through The party charged (and
who charges the city, with the repairing of the
Court buildings should attend to this matter.
Cor INTO Ir.-An urchn of an inqusitive and
| acquisitive disposition hooked about fifty dollars
in greenbacks, at least so it is sad from kind of
giftsale, (Which the police call humbug,] estab-
| tablishment, in the First District. The money
| drawer was not properly closed, and q small boy
or anybody else, sharp and looking out for chance
for pifering, could see that by inserting his hand
he could prig out some of the contents, and hence
the alleged opportunity. The affair, as said to
have occurred, was brought to the notice of the
detective officers, and a little fellow was brought
before them as accessory, but the gift store man
appeared to US to be using his energy, such as it
was, for nothing.
| sESrEscEp-Conrad Heepe, who was found
|
! has been sentenced by Judge Abell of the Crmi-
nal Court, in accordance with the law of Loulsl'
ana, to Imprisonment for life at hard labor in the
State Pententary. The convict deliberately, &C
coring to the evidence, shot his brother, Chris
titan Heepe, bad blood having arisen between
them first on account of a lot of ground in which
they were mutually interested, and secondly or
account of Christian having made remark of al
| lotin nst in MI
brutal nature about Conrads wife, chasing her by
name with the common women of the town. The
immediate circumstances attending the shooting
were, that Christian was putting up fence tt
divide the ground owned jointly by them, an'
Conrad's approach to him. and question as tt
whether he had spoken of his (Conrad's) wife, o
reported. Christian made ncsreply, and Conra'
Immediately raised a double -barreled shot gul
which he had with him, and shot the deceased, th
wound proving fatal in a few days afterwards.

was sentenced to eighteen months at hard labor il

Smith, of the steamer Baltic, and the colored maj
Phillip, and that an investigation in regard to tn
cause of the disaster was to have taken place las
evening. The jury Of inquest were notified b.
Coroner Yeser that the inquiry was postponed
DR.. Yeisscr, we know, is a most Jealous and in
defatigable officer in the discharge of his duty, an
no doubt has ordered postponement for goo
= reasons.

merce met last night. We understand the Pres

gentlemen to meet the merchants of New Orleans
and solicit (" material aid" from them, i'll the shap
