APPOINTMENTS BY THE GovgRScR-The follow
ng appointments were made by the Governor on
VIM. 7. Haraley, inspector Of weights and
measures for Claiborne parish.
Lloyd ". Luggner, coroner Of the parish of
)uacAita.
ST.. PATRICK's DAY.-There was no public cele- |
,raton by our Irish fellow-cizens of the anniver
;ary of the patron Saint of the Green Isle. We
leem it probable that the non.celebvatiou of the
lay by any outside demonstration, was chiefly |
owing to the fact that the revolutionary cause Of
ireland is now agitatng more deeply than is gene
rally imagined the minds of those who claim to |
be of Irish birth, and those whose hearts are en-
listed in the Of one of the Oldest nauonali
ties of the Old World, and one thatdeseryes above
any other, the syrnpatlIies of every generous and
gallant people. IN every Celtic home, however,
we are well assured that due honor was done to
the great uationalday of Ireland.
PASSING STaaNsE.-The talk on the streets yes
terday was that Governor Wells had refused to
issue commissions to the mayor elect and to the
other gentlemen who have been elected by the
popular vote to direct the affairs of New Orleans
for the ensuing term. This state of affairs can
hardly be credited in the face of the clearly ex
pressed opinion Of President johnson, that the
people are entitled to the services of the represen
tatiyes whom they elect and the wishes of the
commanding generals here, who desire to see civil
rule perfectly restored in the city. The general
hope is, that neither Righteousness nor any unwor-
thy subterfuge will be resorted to by those to
whom the people look for wise and polite conduct
to place in allegiance temporarily the will of our
citizens. We trust to be able to report in our
edition that the city authorities Just elected will bt
to-day inaugurated, and at once assume the re
sponsibilities of their position, and procee
promptly to attend to the great interests wit
which they have been entrusted.
| THE BAIL ON SATURDAY NIGHr.-The first Gallo
ball of the young men, at Odd Fellows Hall o
! Saturday night, was perfect success, as we ant
cipated it would be, from the popularity of tn
gentlemen who had the management of it. TIL
| hall was crowded almost to excess, the music wa
| excellent the refreshment saloon attended to witt
care, and everything, in fact, conspired to max
the night pass away in such enjoyment that is no
often realized at public entertainments. The fes
| tivity was really what it purported to be-a calico
ball--for the ladies made it point of secondinG
the wishes of the managers, and only two or three
appeared in more expensive tolettes. We hope
these calico balls will become feature in the fes
| tvites, and we think they will, judging from thu
! first ball of the kind that has been given thi
season. We hope, at least, that the young mel
who had charge of it will soon announce anothe
and similar gay gathering.
MUr1Nous.-Wm. Dougherty, of the British shi
| Huron, was arrested yesterday by officer Henness
at the foot of ITALIA street, on charges preferre
against him by Capt. McCay. Dougherty is az
cused of attempting to create a riot on board tn
vessel, and endeavoring to take the lives of som
of the crew. William will find himself duly a
tended to by the proper authorities.
| CoLoRED CyTTING.---Moses Brown, a~colored il
divdual, was arrested at half past Ewelve o'cnc
yesterday, in the the Second District, by office
Phillips, on charge Of cutting his fellow freet
man, Frank Nesbit, with razor. In other time
a rod would have benefited Moses, but now hi
punishment will be longer drawn out, and nor
Objectionable to him.
| FALSE TO TEusT.-A youth, Henry Hoyt, VII
has been employed in the clothing store of III
Cohen, on Camp street, has been taken into Gu
tody ca charge, Of having, at various time
stolen from his employer between two and thr'
thousand dollars worth of furnishing goods. A
NEWSSTAND on Canal street, were also arreste
charged with receiving and concealing the sto
property. The accused will be brought befo
Recorder Kruchbe this morning.
FEnH-The alarm of FIRE at O'Clock on Satt
day afternoon was account of the discovery
fire in the roof of building on IRENE street, /
, tween Cont and Bienvilie. Damage slight.
AN ADMls-A BILE Ose AMI ATIoN.--The organizati
of the Young Mems Benevolent Association
one of the facts of the times that we take peeui
pleasure IN chronieling. Tie object of the as
citation 10 to render all the protection aud ASST
ance in sher poWer to the widows and orphans

and the heartbreaking that attend those who la
