This Backhouse or King murdered in cold blood
a citizen of this city, Arthur Magill, while the
latter was temporarily employed in the Crescent
office in that city. Up TO the time OF General
Buffers arrival in New Orleans he was a violent
Rebel of the small potato class, but on account
of his Northern birth, and through loud profes-
siOns OF loyalty, he was enabled to get posses
sion of a printing office after the occupation of
the city by Federal troops, and for while his
paper was regarded as faithful to the Govern

The First Officers under the VicerOy.
The Globe newspaper says that the either the
Cabinet must contain twelve or eighteen mem
bers, so as TO preserve proportions. In the one
case there would be four seats each for the two
Canadas, and two each for the two maritime
provinces In the latter case the figures would
be six and three respectively. In the first case
Lower Canada could not have both Gait ard
McGee unless the French Canadians were satis-
fed with two members, which is not the GLose
thinks, likely.
Another report is that the Cabinet will con-
sist of fifteen members five for Ontario, four for
Quebec, and three each for Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick.
The Minerue promises to give the arrange
ments in full in a few days.
1t is understood that the following gentlemen
will compose the first ministry of the new do.
minion Mcdonald, Premier; Cartier, TIlev,
Gait, McDougall, Archibald, Blair, Campbell,
Rowland, Mitchell, Henley, Langervim, and

It is reported that the Hon. W. H. Draper, G.
B., Chief Justice of Upper Canada, will be the
First Lieutenant-Gove of Ontario. Sir
Narciez Belleau will be the First Lieutenant
Governor of Quebec. Another report is that the
generals commanding the troops IN the several
Provinces will be appointed temporary Lieu
tenant Governors.
The Governor-General will be sworn in at
Quebec on the 1st of July.
The absent members of the Cabinet will return
to the Capital by that day. and it is probable
that the new Cabinet will be sworn in on the

Notwithstanding the increased activity OF bus-

continues abundant at per cent on railway and
miscellaneous coilateras, and on Governments.
The probabilities are, therefore, strongly against
any stringeucy arising fr0m the preparations
of the National Banks for their quarterly
returns on the LIST proximo. The discount
stances at half per cent below this rate chicago
bank deposits reported TO be running low, and the
money market Is rather close At Cincinnati it Is
substantially unchanged, and the demand for accom-
mediation Is mRinl, to carry over old business,
although arrangements are beginning TO be made
for the incoming wheat crop. Wool Is at the
same time creating some demand for money, bat this

views of buyers and sellers, and the consequent inac
