HORSE THIEvJNG.

This infamous business is still car.
ried on with a boldness and success
that should arouse the strictest vigi.
lance Of the community. 1t is abso-
lutely shameful to think that the
guilty perpetrators have managed SO
long to pursue their nefarious calling
Of midnight depredations on peoples
property without detection and pun,
ishment. There is scarcely day oc-
ours that does not bring to light the
loss by robbery, the night before,
of some ones horse or mule, in our
parish, and rarely does it happen that
either the animal stolen is ever recov-
cred, or the thief or thieves detected.
Hanging would be full easy enough
a punishment for such vile marauders.
We do not think our people would
complain a bit, were the military
rulers to turn their cognizauce in the
direction Of such matters, by sending
out an armed detachment now and
then, to scour the parishes in quest of
the thieving gangs that are doing so
much to annoy the people and despoil
them Of their property. Horses,
mules, cattle, hogs &c, are constantly
stolen, and, in many instances, the
parties losing such stock are deprived
of their sole dependence for draft la.
Dor in cuItivating their farms, and
the means for supplying themselves
and their families with provisions.
These deprivations 10 times like the
present are serious and alarming.
The losers are not in a condition to
replace their losses, and if they were,
there is no security against repeti.
ton Of the outrages which have be-
come SO rife in almost every neigh
borhood.
Somebody's strong arm is needed,
certain, to try and put stop to those
0utrages

FIFTH DISTRICT CoURr-Hon. r.
Z. Posey, Judge.-The attention Of
this court, now in session in our midst,
is principally occupied in the disposal
Of the numerous cases Of petty lar
ceny, burglary, &C., which are daily
brought before it. The parties ar
raigned are principally colored, and
the evidence elected, tends, for the
most part, TO their conviction. But
few of the convicted have, as yet, re-
ceived judicial sentence We find
on the Clerks register, that Jerry
Jordan, Sam Jordan and Jessie, Gall
colored men }, have been sentenced
to six months imprisonment in the
Penitentiary for the crime of larceny.
We dropped in at the Court room
on Tuesday, and found our venerable
friend, William Gil, the acknowl-
edged Nestor of the Louisiana bar,
on the tapis, handling with all the
accustomed vim and vigor Of his
earlier years, burglary case. The
Squire talked right at and to the
jury in style of eloquence and ar
gument which seemed to arrest the
attention Of every one around.
Squire Gil has lived through sew
eral generations, and has been a
prominent disciple Of Justinian, Vat
tel, Puffendorf and other notable
fathers of civil and criminal jurispru-
dence, these many years. He has
dispensed law and justice during
periods long anterior to the birth of
many of the young practitioners at
the bar, and while many Of the older
ones were yet in their swaddling
clothes. In addition, therefore, to
his fund of legal lore, he has that
great advantage Of practical wisdom
and judgment which age and expert
ence are supposed to give man.
Here's to you, squire. May you
never want for case to help you
along and may successful verdicts
always crown your efforts.

HER MAJEsTY's PRESENT TO Nh.
PEARoDY,-The London Times gives an
Interesting description of the enamel
portrait OF the Queen, presented to Mr..
Peabody, which was then on exhibition
at MessrS.I DicEinsou's In New Bond
street. 1t is enamelled on a plate of
gold, and is said to be one OF the
largest, il not the very largest, enamel
portraits ever executed. in England.
The Queengis represented in the dress
she wore at the opening of Parliament,
black robe, with the blue ribbon OF
the Garter, and n Marie Stuart cap,
with long white veil, suTmounted by
light tiara of oEdlamonds. Enamel was
selected for the portrait on account of
its durability and brilliancy. The
foundation of the picture was photo
greph by. MeSsrs. Dickinson. Mr., Tilt
is the draughtsInan and enamelIer.
The portrait Is an oval, ofabout four
teen inches byten, set ina frame of gold
and blue, upon raised cushion of ma
room velvet, which rests on fiat of n
lighter shade of the same color, andiii
decorated at the sides with devices in
gold d combining the rose, shamrock
and thistle. Below the picture are the
royal monogram, ''V. R.,H and nn in

sense OF the honor done him by this
mark ofthe Queens respect. Regarded
as an expression of the feeling of the
country, through its sovereign, OF
gratitude for his unparalleled gem

prouder significance than any royal
